Celebrating Street light in 2024? To think these are the same people enjoying several state of the art facilities in lagos and all they do in return is to start making comparison with New York, Paris and London.

Sheuns:
Those of you saying why are they celebrating street lights in 2024, I hope you won’t claim to be from Lagos cos I can bet anything many areas of Lagos lack functioning street lights especially highways.

That guy up shouting SW. how many states in the SouthWest can boast of having installed and functional streetlights of up to 60% all round the state?

Shikini:
Nonsense talk!
95% of streets in Lagos do not have street lights.

Oga, I'm not Ibo and I live in Lagos too.
Talk true, do you have street lights in your street? I am talking about your own street gan gan ... not your neighbour's street nor a nearby highway.

Again, do you have public water supply?

Now, are you telling me that residents of street will not rejoice if Sanwo-Olu suddenly provides them with bright street lights and free public water supply?
.

Abia and Anambra are struggling to pay 18k minimum wage and Abia owes 11 months salary. Yet it is Lagos that pays 70k without any outstanding arrears that ipob miscreants want to protest.

This is a very myopic reasoning

We are talking about hunger, you're here talking about Streetlight

No wonder some Nigerians worship politicians

So u can easily be bought over with something as silly as this

Guy, I'm from ondo state,ask anyone what the Mimiko Beautification makes Akure look like.

Streetlight be like water


No dey glorify rubbish abeg

Mr. I live in Lagos, I have been to all LGAs in Lagos in my 30+ years living in Lagos. I tell you that not up to 40% of the entire Lagos state has functioning street lights.

As we speak, majority of the highways in Lagos lack functioning streetlights.

Most of the streetlights installed in some areas or streets were done either by the community, a Senator or the house of reps member of that community.

My street in Amuwo Odofin, the streetlights installed was done by our community. The one on my Mum’s street in Surulere was installed by Femi Gbajabiamila just last year.

Those streets have never had street lights installed by the government since I’ve known those places. The one installed in my Mum’s street in surulere in the past was done by we the community.

Don’t come online to paint a picture of how SW is not in poverty or a better region than others. You and I know so well that it’s all facade.

If you are sure of yourself, counter all I said above with facts.

I have never been to Ondo for a stay before and I cannot attest to that you said about Ondo. But I have driven past Akure/Ore at night and it was dark as hell.

I have lived many places in lagos and I can tell you without iota of doubt that my hamlet in the village in the east is far more beautiful, serene, aesthetic than 95% of what is in lagos. When we say things like this, I looks like a joke and boast to some people . Standards in the east is higher than in lagos. If not for the federal government efforts nothing would have been written about lagos

This isn't my business

My business is that there are more pertinent issues to solve that this rubbish


There are thousands of civil servants in the state, which means if Otti had decided to pay their salaries based on thar 30k minimum wage, thousands of families would have bewn touch, which in turn could affect at least a million individuals


It's even funny that this street light isn't just in a particular area and not the whole Abia state,plus this sam Otti spent 1B on foods in 6months only to treat them this way


U wanna compare this with Lagos "that provides free healthcare, subsidised public schools for all, irrespective of ethnic origin, and free soup kitchens for people experiencing poverty, and funded 80 innovative start-ups for Lagos youths between 2020 and 2024. A state that gave out almost 20,000 tablets to pupils from middle and low-income families to enhance their education, not minding their ethnic nationalities. Oh yes, please fact-check me" Reno Omokri

Na real wa bro. So backwards. Yet they will never stop trying to shade, insult and gaslight others far better than them.
