I've being following the recent attack on Lagos State ever since the 2023 concluded election. This smelling criticism started gaining ground after 2023 election. How comes the rigorous attack on Lagos smelling started after the outcome of 2023 election?. Was smelling not in existence before 2023?. Why is it suddenly gaining ground?.

Surprisingly when someone whispers it, certain set of people with previous records of attacks on Lagos or Yoruba People (after 2023 election) are ALWAYS the ones blowing the Trumpet Loudly. It is not a mistake to conclude some people are yet to get over the lost of the election.

The aim is to tear down the image of the State. That's not criticism coming from someone with a Genuine heart to move Lagos forward, it's simply a dark heart to break Lagos down. My question is what is their Game plan?. Demarket Lagos so people move away from it?. And when people move away from Lagos, where are they moving to?. Your States??. What have your State Governments over the years put in place to accommodate the influx from Lagos?. Is your State Safe from Kidnapping, communal clashes, Herdsmen's attack, Banditry, Terrorist Attack etc or you don't care, all you care about is Lagos should be demarket or brought down?.

Between last year and this year, Lagos attracted foreign investments, the result of which boosted the State fund's contribution to the overall funds that are shared to states every month in Abuja. Now if you continue to demarket Lagos, what do you think will happen?. The foreign investment will suddenly shift to your region or State?. No it wouldn't because your Governors have not put in place what will attract such investments.

Apart from Security, what infrastructural development have your State Governments put in place to accommodate such influx from Lagos or you still don't care, all you care about is Lagos should be demarket?.
No foreign investment will come to your state if it's not safe or with a proper infrastructural development.

From entertainment point of view, for the very first time in many years, Lagos was recognised when it had influx of celebrities around the world coming for "Detty December". Many more people wants to be identified with Lagos, all of which bring the world to Lagos and it's benefit being shared across the states. That's a sad news to y'all "Lagos must Fall" crew??.

If you refuse to disembark from this habit of demarketing Lagos for your selfish reasons or as a result of an election lost, you're simply doing a disservice to your country because you don't have alternative States capable of retaining or bringing the world to Nigeria yet. If you must demarket Lagos, atleast make sure your State Governments have a workable atmosphere economically, Infrastructurally, Safety / Security etc instead of just demarketing Lagos and subsequently impoverish the Country as a whole.

The criticism by "most" (Not all) of the critics is mischievous because what is supposed to be borne out of genuine concern and demand for change has been turned to a "Gloat" Party. And frankly I'm not surprised because the intention right from onset is to MOCK and DEMARKET it

Oga LAGOS IS SMELLING no be curse . . . NA FACT

Have you driven past maza-maza/mile 2 recently? That place has been smelling sh1t for decades now, even after that badagry road construction passed the axis

That place is always smelling, I can't even begin to imagine the other numerous areas that also smell like/worse than that place. The worst thing is if you pass there in car with air-conditioning the smell will still enter the car via agbero style

Maybe because the shit there falls from the arzez of Lagos agberos in the first place 🤔 stop attacking people who say the truth, this is not how democracy works everywhere else

They want to turn this harmless but obvious fact ....that Lagos smells, an environmental health issue requiring government attention into ethnic and tribal bigotry.

The harm Tinubu has caused with his Emilokan brand of tribal and ethnic bigotry politics is unimaginable.

Let the matter rest

We can't continue nagging on things we should be familiar with

It's same way Lagos is no man's land to them. So allow them to wallow in their delusional thoughts

So the fact that LAGOS SMELLS is not a nagging issue to you because you are comfortably FAMILIAR with the smell

Is it because you're originally from ogbomosho and only claim to come from Lagos because of nairaland?

You people can't be having solutions to others problems while just being clueless in applying the same solutions to the issue ravaging una region

Politicians in power only see opposition...

. That's why they never really help the people the way they should....

Leave smelling Lagos and go home na!!!

My own state currently has nowhere that smells remotely like that of the maza-maza/mile 2 axis in Lagos state Our own charity in the 'city smelling' aspect has been performed and perfected a long time ago thank you

Osu leave the smelling Lagos to the Yorubas to deal with, you can pack your load and move back to your sad east region Oloriburuku.

NO! I can't go anywhere

The fact is that I bought land a few years ago and then developed it but now i can't find any native/indigenous person around to sell it to because my price is too high for them to pay

I want to go, but I can't dash omoale my land that I bought from their fathers just like that Will you buy my developed land so I can relocate back to my village in peace?

Fact is that if you don't TRAVEL you won't SEE such places till you die

Lagos does smell. And large portions are in a bad state.

Forget apc and pdp,this has been the case for decades.

How to fix the problem is what we should be talking about

What a useless, hopeless thread without worth.

It is now all about election loss again

First ttried to stir up ethnic tension & division., tribalism & parapoism. Denying the obvious, dishing asumptions based on emotional lies, deceit & propaganda

With your exposure yet you don't know jack. You support things that are meant to be doomed.

Not even any meaningful records of supporting real deal.

The question is, what precisely is the usefulness of your technical know how?

London used to be awful. It took decades of hard work to make it into the world class city it is today.

Ditto Paris.

Why not Lagos?

What radarada is this one talking now

Simple question I asked and just look at how he flipped and suddenly became incoherent on my mentions

Asking me oroki questions . . .

They keep nagging about Lagos state but they won't leave the state.

This corper now I'm goddamn sure she have no plan to leave Lagos even after she completed her NYSC, you won't see them making videos about the poor condition their indigenous states is that made them to leave the place for Lagos but when they get to Lagos they will suddenly have a voice.

Lagos still have a long way to go in so many aspects but in terms of development In Nigeria, Lagos is still the top dog.

My question is how come we don't see videos criticizing other cities and states in Nigeria but we have several about Lagos states?

Is Anambra, Onitsha, Port Harcourt, Warri, Delta now more developed than Lagos state?

Onitsha was ranked the dirtiest city in the world infact Aba is also known for being very dirty, were there no NYSC members in Onitsha and Aba? Why are they not making videos like that lady, saying Onitsha Smells or Aba stinks?

If it was a Yoruba lady NYSC member that made a video about Onitsha, saying Onitsha smells, these set of hypocritical people wouldn't spare her despite the fact WHO ranked Onitsha as the dirtiest city in the world.

I hope there won't be any outrage tomorrow when someone from South west, an NYSC member go to Onitsha or Aba and make a video about how dirty the place is, since the people from the place refuse to make a video about it.

You can imagine the lengths they are willing to go to

They know that Lagos smells, which is an environmental health issue that requires government attention. But, as usual, and like everything else, they want to turn it into ethnic and tribal bigotry just to spread extreme hatred

Tinubu, in his desperation to become president, has done a lot of harm, dividing Nigerians along ethnic and tribal lines, his 'bolekaja' economic policy prescriptions causing hardships, hunger, and starvation.

The harm Tinubu has caused to this nation is unimaginable.

Some of them are jokes

People have been saying that Lagos is smelling, for decades. But some people only remember to use it for bigotry and ethnic division because of 2023 elections

Lagos smells actually, it's not about region.

People worry about where they live, not where they came from. This is 2025.
