Forget all the jokes in Nigeria, nobody is fighting for the well being of the poor in Nigeria. These people have Looted more than they fighting for the poor
Absolutely none of them are. And if only the people would realize this and wake the f-k up already from their comatose state.

We had pipe-borne water out there in Ikorodu when I was growing up. At one point we lived across the road from Ile-omi - Lagos State Water Works, where we would take out complaints when the water was down. Unfortunately, during Babangida and Abacha days, things took a dive and since then no one has bothered to fix things. Fast forward to this day, the Works building is nothing but a museum of sorts. Na wa oo! undecided

This guy should take a trip to Anambra, let's see if he'll come back with same mentality.
They will just sit in Lagos and be assuming stvpid things.

Travel and see the rot in other parts of the country before condenming yours.

We were surprised to learn that Doherty was indigene of Ilaro in Ogun State

Obidients were carrying propaganda and insulting SW people over him was if Doherty was
from Lagos Island or indigene of Lagos

We must thank Ilaro people for updating everyone

Nigeria is a developing country for a reason

These things arent/cant be perfected under 20-30years and thats why the Govt keep bringing up innovative ideas to shore things up


USA gained independence in 1776, yet they still have slums all over. Nigeria is barely 70
Good point but independence isn't the reason why till now Lagos still doesn't have regular drinkable water and electricity.

It more of mismanagement and foresight, in the sense that money isn't the issue if you think deeply.

And again if you say per independence then China and Dubai having almost similar independence counters you, but by a people and history those countries existed for detailed centuries.

The water should be potable (that you can put inside pot to cook your food) and not portable

I know some of you will have justification for this. Provision of ordinary portable water for lagosians, a state that is surrounded by water. Same Lagos you guys always claim Tinubu has built.
I was in Lagos last month, I behold first hand of the terrible state lagosians are living. I just hate such life and that is why I hate Lagos to live. It's just the survival of the fittest. You see able bodied waking up early in the morning and all they can think of is how to be drinking gin and smoking helm. Roads dilapidated. People rushing to catch up with borehole dug by individuals. At that the prices of goods just too high.
No light for almost three days before they brought it for few hours and that was all.

Are you saying because of the rot in other state, you should not clean up yours? Who do us this in this country? Which kind mentality is this?

What Lagos government is generating in time memorial is it the same thing other states are generating? Lagos has been a high standard advent of time. It never takes Dubai and London this long before before they broke loose from underdevelopment.

Which single town or state in nigeria has this water supply you are speaking of? Name one place in nigeria that government supplies water to residents via pipe borne water angry

You say 20 years is not enough to have one town with steady maintained government backed pipe borne water? No wonder you have a 3rd class angry how long did it take a countrylike UAE to discoveroil and start building hotels on the sea?

You see why I sometimes like showing people you're a small boy. So they would instead of being confused just pity you. Find work and do and stop doing useless Ronu on nairaland begging for likes undecided

In short be like time go soon reach to ban thus my account. Na for romance section I go do am again.

Lagos is incomparable to any other states of the federation and not because it gained that status yesterday or in the advent of Tinubu's regime. It's been distinguished state for long. By now it should be competing with Dubai if all the money accrued had been used judiciously.

Govt run residential water systems in Nigeria collapsed after the 90s. Any govt proposing to provide pipe borne water is only embarking on a white elephant project that'll end up in embezzlement of funds. Our urban planning system will not make it work. Let's just accept that it's individual household duty to provide yourself with water except we just want to deceive ourselves. Same thing is happening with NEPA...once solar becomes more mainstream and the technology becomes better, some households might decide not to connect to the national grid again.

Stop this nonsense bro. Water is one of the essentials that government need to provide for her citizens. Nobody trade with water and lose in life says Yoruba adage (ko se ni to sowo omi to pa danu).
Lagos should not even have complain of supplying water to all households as the state is surrounded by water.
If the government is serious, they can digitalized its payment, so that people would not siphon its payment.

Obedients were claiming that Non Lagos Yoruba were campaigning against Doherty
Obidients were Claiming he was indigene of Lagos
Meanwhile Doherty himself was from Ogun and Not even from Lagos State


If you saw the insults that they were using


Everyone really needs to mind their Regions Business
You still didn't answer the question.

What concerns Obidients and the fact that Lagos does not have portable water?

Haaa for something as basic as water? In the 90s places in Surulere could boast of pipe borne water, but now those pipes have dried up. This is pure retrogression.

Mr Funso Doherty was the 2023 governorship candidate of the ADC in Lagos.

But in July 2024, he defected to the PDP.

There are communities without water in Europe. Ask your family members that are here.

This however is not a Justin for failure if our government from local to federal.

The public water supply in America and Australia is under scrutiny but looking at the small size of Lagos and the vision of LKJ, it is a disgrace to Lagos in 2024 not to have potable public water supply. Growing up as a kid, we had access to tap water. It wasn't from someone's tank. It was from the state. How did we get here?

No light.
NO water.

These are public utilities govt should be supplying. I always say that many people buying fuel have no business with it if we had regular power supply and water supply. You'll be surprised people are buying fuel to power their generators to pump water. Sad

I always tell people that say Tinubu built Lagos that whenever I remember the year the pure water came into Lagos and what he did to our public water supply, I cannot respect any of them for taking us back.
