Lagos State Govt always do their part even including orientating its citizens, I wonder how it’s the LASG fault. We ave seen cases where individuals pour/deposits their waste on the road or canals. I think individuals living in Lagos state needs to do their part too. HABA!

The whole of lagos dey smell I don't know why you're selecting street

When it rains in Lagos, many roads become muddy, and everywhere will be messed up. That Mile 2 Apapa is something else, very messy and smelly

muyico:
come Ibadan?? Most Nigeria states gat dirty street

I bet you can't find any plalike this in Akwa Ibom state.

Defending nonsense as if Lagos is your personal property. Some of you just hate criticism even when it’s nothing but the truth. I am sure you would have supported the op if the article was channeled to another state outside west.

The Iyana Ipaja own make me laugh, (Illegal markets) I agree, (blocked drains) where is this at Iyana Ipaja under bridge, (street food next to dumps) Yes, there are street food but where is dump

Effective waste disposal management is vital to a clean city.
Lagos is dirty because the people are dirty in and out with a rudderless government whose fury is against non-indigenes who call them out.
I was in an Uber ride in the heart of Victoria Island and saw a grown man empty a bag of refuse in the gutter. We couldn't do much because it was raining heavily!

I am living in Lagos and I must say this, Lagos is a very dirty state. There is no place you will enter in Lagos that you will not see shit scattered around the road. Sick and tired of this nonsense place called Lagos.

Just try to Cross that Pako bridge in Ajeggunle boundary to Apapa, you go fear. The water flowing there is pitch black. I saw what I thought were bags of sand stacked in the mud, not knowing they were pigs taking cooling from the contaminated water. One was even tearing up a dead chicken 🐔 😢 😭

Is Oshodi-Apapa Expressway [Berger to Mile 2 Axis] a STREET?

Attention to little details is important when writing articles.

Lagos State has the smallest landmass in Nigeria right behind Anambra State.

The influx of all kinds of economic migrants from different States of Nigeria and the West African region has put a lot of pressure on the infrastructure and facilities in specific areas of Lagos State such as the low-income zones despite the efforts of past and current Governors in Lagos State to demolish and gentrify several locations. The former Babatunde Raji-Fasola transformed, the Oshodi axis with green plants everywhere and traders evicted BUT the place deteriorated again. Therefore it's CLEAR that the facilities management team of Lagos State has to be revved up by the current Government of Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu alongside his Commissioner for Environment and ensure that stiffer penalties of jail terms or strict community service as punishments are meted out to those who violate environmental laws OR stripping off for resale the beautiful wire-fences used to demarcate roads.

A decentralized Nigeria through the constitutional amendment would also see most of these low-income economic migrants return to their home States instead of running to Lagos State, the FCT suburbs and outskirts, Port Harcourt, etc.

Biogas toilets or bio-degradable public toilets MUST be rolled out in large numbers through a PPP program. These kinds of toilets can provide biogas for cooking or lighting up the nearby environment.

Even in some areas in London and parts of England, there have been complaints of public facilities and infrastructure running down. This is what you get in cosmopolitan environments.

..the reason also is that Lagos is overpopulated..20 million in population

..is because Lagos is overpopulated and congested..20 million in population

Omo Lagos has lost its past glory and it’s getting worse since more people of different ethnicity are leaving. It will get worse.

In summary. Lagos is a dirty state.

Is lagos not a dirty state. Continue renaming street while lagos continue to get more dirty.

They may still come and argue with you, I think most of them haven’t traveled out of Lagos so they feel it’s heaven, the only reason people are in Lagos is because money is in rotation. Aside that, nothing else.

Until you decentralized the seaport airport monopoly lagos have. Nothing will change.

These two economic infrastructure are what give lagos state edge over other states. Decentralized them, other will go back to their state.

I have a contrarian view.

First off, it's officially known that if international flights fly directly into every major city of Nigeria, it means private airlines will go bankrupt. So, these restrictions of international airlines flying ONLY into the airports in Lagos, the FCT, Kano, Enugu, etc, were made so that the local aviation industry will thrive and NOT be suffocated by foreign airlines competing with them. So when they fly into say Lagos or Kano airports, the local airlines can generate revenue too and fly passengers out to other cities This is also done in many countries of the world to keep the domestic aviation going.

Second, the Onne River Port is already very active and Onitsha River Port is also there. I'm aware that barges have been used to move consignments to Onitsha from Onne that were brought by big ocean-going ships. So, why haven't some people moved out of Lagos? Based on CLEAR evidence, it's because of the insecurity LARGELY caused by criminal elements among the South Easterners that's making the South East of Nigeria people to stay away from using those two ports fully. Lagos State is also located on the Atlantic Ocean and directly on a major international shipping route along the West Africa coastline with access to West African markets and markets beyond.

To be candid, Lagos State MUST be decongested with the constitutional amendments (and these new bills President 'Bola Tinubu is signing into law) BECAUSE it's affecting infrastructure. Many people are BETTER off in their home towns or villages where they can LARGELY get cheaper foods to buy and eat or simply walk into their farms or home gardens and pluck fruits, vegetables, and more to cook meals.

Other States of Nigeria have to relieve Lagos State of the pressures.

People are paying high taxes in those areas. They only know how to collect taxes.

I agree that the south easterner are responsible for the insecurity in the south east, but what does the south east have to do with the onne port?

Is it the insecurity in the south east that made onne port to not function? I don’t get what you’re driving at.

Lagos stinks! There is no doubt about that.
The government collects taxes from the people, yet it expects them to pay for the removal of garbages.
What is the Lagos State government doing with the money in her treasury?
Sanwo-olu should do something immediately.
And that's an order!

Lagos is not a city fit for even animals to live in.

How can you possibly say this about the glorified ghetto that ebilokan’s 26 year master plan of a-looter progreThieves built?

Lawmaker scores Lagos Water Corporation low

A Lagos State lawmaker, Mr Saka Fafunmi, on Thursday expressed dissatisfaction at the performance of the state Water Corporation.

Fafunmi, a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly (LAHA), said in Ikeja that the corporation had not been able to justify statutory allocations to it.

The lawmaker, who represents Ifako-Ijaiye Constituency 1 at the assembly, spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

He said that the corporation had the capacity to generate much fund internally through water rates but had relied solely on government funding because of poor performance.

'' Anyone that is using water will be willing to pay for it; the corporation has not been giving us water.

"Is there any new community that Water Corporation has given water? People depend on boreholes; even government estates have industrial boreholes.

"Why do we keep pumping money into an agency that does not give us the desired results?'' he asked.

He noted that the Adiyan Waterworks was located at Ifako-Ijaiye, where many of the residents had resorted to digging boreholes as a means of getting water.

''A lot of people are falling sick because they don't drink clean water.

''In the same compound, where you have sewage, is where you have a borehole.

''There is no way you can manage the sewage that it will not leak and pollute the water; everyone drinking such is drinking contaminated water,'' he said.

The lawmaker urged the corporation to increase water reticulation and supply to residents.

Go back and read my post properly.

I CLEARLY stated that the Onne River Port is very ACTIVE so those saying they are in Lagos because of the seaports should move to Onne River Port and do their imports from there. Period.

Should other states also relieve Lagos of the huge revenue (internally generated and federally allocated) that is based on its population

The Lagos State government headed by Sanwo Olu is doing with the annual trillions budget what ebilokan’s a-looter progreThief master plan says.

The same master plan is being used in Aso Rock for 200 million Nigerians since 2023. If it works well on 20 million smart Lagosians, surely it will work well on the entire country. No need to change the winning strategy.

The results speak for themselves at the federal level.

May Day: Hunger, unemployment, insecurity real— Tinubu

According to him: “The theme demands our collective attention and serves as a stark reminder of the need to create an environment where every worker feels safe, valued, and empowered to contribute to the growth and prosperity of our nation. As your President, I assure you that this administration is committed to creating such an environment for the common good.”

On the economic hardship, he noted that while it is a global phenomenon, its effects on Nigerians are particularly severe.

Tinubu said: “I am aware of the peculiarities of the economic hardship Nigerians face—rising living costs, hunger, insecurity, unemployment, and the loss of livelihoods. These challenges are real and demand definitive solutions, which I am poised to address as your President.

Ironically, with the exception of 4, 8 and 10, these are areas populated by Ibos.
They are pollutants.

Only God knows that I can never be proud of myself if I see myself in Lagos🤮🤮🥴 🥴 😷😷, like how do you guys cope over there ?

Starting from the traffic, noise, agberos, pungent and nose ripping smell, different unwholesome characters, filth, shouting, owomida, pilfering and all manner of vices in the state. I can never live there even if it's 1or 2 days.

Ajah jubilee bridge is very ok nothing dumped of refused there and okokomaiko this two places I disagree with you bro. Make ur research well. Igwedubai2
