I am jobless and productive you is aware of it for a while.

If you continue like this, don't expect any financial miracle. You are trolling someone trading with $1. If you get 1kobo would you be wasting your life trolling others?

Is that hard for you to comprehend. If you have any records of supporting real deal, mention just one

Abi if majority of what you have been supporting/analysing are not close to reality, why not learn from those with accurate records of analysis
What sort of delusion is this? angry I supported that your buhari, tilumbu and APC will turn Nigeria into Somalia and it is already happening cry

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

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

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 sad

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 sad
The criticism by "most" (Not all) of the critics is mischievous because what is supposed to be borned 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

I knew that before but my expectations was for you to mention your home state or any state from your home region.

If your home state or home region is not in the category of states smelling good, what moral justification do you have to be shading Lagos state?

Don't you understand that place has been smelling for DECADES undecided if after 20 years of enduring the smells you and your leaders haven't thought up a solution to that peculiar problem don't you feel it is time to ramp up the push by MOCKING and GLOATING at the leadership of those smelling places?

I mean . . . This is over 20 years plus of those smells now man. What's your problem cry

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
You seem reasonable, particularly your last sentence. Calling out the government to fix the smelling part of Lagos is different from gloating over it. My write up is to address those with dark intention that is stimulated not by Love or Progress for Lagos but by Foolishness and hatred for Lagos.
Yes some part of it does smell but the campaign is largely getting pushed by those who wants to DEMARKET it.

Well the fact remains that nothing much has been done to.change it by the same.goverment making it easier to demarket the place.


Admittedly it would cost a lot of money to do something like sewages and large public parks and rehousing, but something needs to be done.

Re: The Agenda Behind "Lagos Is Smelling" by Acidosis(m): 9:05am On Mar 17, 2025
Another weak attempt to defend failure. Why do you, Nigerians, hate the truth so much? Why is everything demarketing to you? People are saying worse things about the U.S. government on their platforms, same as any other country, including your favourite japa countries in the world. So, why must everyone be silent because the chief c l o w n from your tribe rigged his way into power?

I jumped on night bus with black nylon bag of garri to come to Lagos 15 years ago, I am the one who purchased the land from one owambé loving af0nj granpa 7 years ago and developed it to world standards cool

Why envying and hating my success journey? kiss is it because you've not achieved anything in life even after being born in the South West and spending your whole life existing there? cry

I don't have a problem, you're the one with the problem for failing to realise demarketing Lagos or speaking ill of it on Global Social Media Spaces is very dangerous to it's potentials. Most cities in the world have some part of it that smells, their citizens don't come on social media gloating and mocking it. They will rather engage the government in a civil manner calling its attention to fix it instead of turning it into Gloating Party on Global social media spaces.

Definitely, you're right, something needs to be done. I only feel disgusted by ways most of the campaigners are going about it.

I think at this point you need to be quiet. This is not borne out of Pride but out of the fact that you're completely oblivious of who you're talking to.

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 to a "Gloat" Party. And frankly I'm not surprised because the intention right from onset is to MOCK and DEMARKET it

Frankly I don't really have any problem with the girl. Most of her points are right. I once served too and I can confidently tell you the allowance accorded to corpers cannot sufficiently cater for the needs even though the economy wasn't this bad when I served several years ago...The situation is even worst now because given by the current allowance (33,000) and situation of the economy, 33k is NOT sufficient, however, what I have problem with is how those with hatred for Lagos seized the campaign and turned it into Gloating and demarketing Party.
Re: The Agenda Behind "Lagos Is Smelling" by emmancipated(m): 9:25am On Mar 17, 2025
Sometimes the way we choose to go about things baffle me. I don't know if the Lagos smells or not, but I've seen several people complain about it. The response is always, "they are trying to destroy the image of Lagos", "they are haters", "they are wailers etc", but no talk of, is this thing true? If it is true, how can we go about the resolution. It is always counter arguments, while the supposed actual issue takes a backseat. If Lagos is smelling, and the constituted authority decides to tackle it, I don't think anyone who is normal would still be coming up with the narrative that Lagos is smelly.


If you render a service to the public and you have some of your customers giving you a certain feedback, I don't think the best approach is going back and forth on the matter. Just fix it if the problem exists, and we would move on from there.

So in your own opinion, because of those who have turned it into a demarketing strategy, you'd rather the government sit still and did nothing just to spite those who you claim hate Lagos? undecided
