Honestly, being broke to the point where one can't even buy food and eat should be avoided like plaque. I mean that kind of brokeness where you don't even know where your next meal will come from. Then, you resort to borrowing money upandan of which you may not even get it. hunger cum show you shege..too bad.

Avoid getting broke.. if by chance it happens, make sure you have money to buy at least one cup of garri and 2h groundnut and quench hunger.

Tinubu happened kwa? So it's during this Tinubu tenure that brokeness started happening to salary earners baaah?
Most salaries earners were able to manage their salaries throughout the month and even save little from it until Buhari took over and made it impossible for them to save anymore. Buhari own was even manageable because even if most salaries earners couldn't save during his tenure, many of them were able to manage the salary through at the month.

But since Tinubu took over, na only 1 week, 2 weeks most salaries them dey use their salary b4 e finish, the most painful part is that na only food, transport and rent most of them dey use the money for.

Enough of these inane, AI generated, absolutely brain-dead, non-issue threads on this platform already! This just will be the death of this forum if it is allowed to continue. I really don't care about reading AI-generated content on a platform meant for human beings with a brain.

To make the whole thing worse, such write-ups follow the same boring pattern and layout and invariably end with an equally annoying, patently-AI generated image. Plus, the posters usually have "Lagos this" or "Lagos that" as their moniker.

Enough of this already! It is plain annoying.

Lagos is not for everybody and certainly not for minimum wage earners.

The way you people lie to yourselves is amazing
A bag of pure water is 500 naira
Ten years ago it was 100
Transport has tripled now

A crate of egg is 4000

As soon as money enters your hand, the first thing anybody should do is load their house with food, remove money for transport to work and then pay debt. Food and transport to work should be number 1 and 2 respectively.

Lagos is for everyone

A manager needs messenger

Company needs gardeners & gatemen

Car wash stands needs workers

Freight forwarding companies needs loafers & drivers

And the list goes on

One of the major problem in Lagos is transport fare. You can pay 1k for 5m journey to buy pay 1500naira for the same journey fro

What of increasing tax burden that is not matched by increasing government services and utilities provided by well paid civil servants?

Can you imagine how Lagos State has squeezed out IGR from the public to grow its budget to N3.4 trillion in a quarter century from N42 billion yet there is no water supply and no free education nor free healthcare for all children and residents respectively.

What is Tinubu and his successors doing with all the money apart from stealing it to bribe politicians?

Ratio of public to private schools in Lagos State is one to 22 ― Commissioner
September 4, 2022

The Lagos State government has said the ratio of public to private schools at both primary and secondary school levels in the state is one to 22.

The state’s Commissioner for Education, Mrs Folasade Adefisayo, gave the revelation in her remark at the 2022 edition of the Total School Support Seminar Exhibition (TOSSE) held at Oregun in Ikeja between Thursday and Friday.

Any idea how we transitioned into expecting to send our children to private schools instead of public schools like in the past?

What do we expect governors to do with our revenue that has increased significantly since 1983? Do we expect them to just steal, loot and rob us huh

Splashme:
The first civilian governor of Lagos State, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, on Tuesday, said that the cancellation of the Lagos metroline project in 1985 was a major mistake and disservice to many Nigerians.

Jakande spoke in Lagos during the launch of a book which chronicled his life in politics and journalism.

The book, entitled, ‘Jakande: Leadership in Action’ is written by Dr. Bola Olaosebikan, who told the audience at the event that the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), was not responsible for the cancellation of the project.

Jakande said, “Reflecting on the metroline project, I think it is a major disservice to many Nigerians. Imagine how many people would have benefitted. It would have made life easier and changed the face of transport in Lagos. Whoever cancelled it or gave the advice towards its cancellation didn’t do right.”

The former governor asked Nigerians not to vote for unserious leaders in the coming polls, saying the elections presented Nigerians with a good opportunity that should not be squandered.

Expressing the hope that Nigeria would soon overcome its developmental challenges, Jakande said hope would be actualised faster if credible people emerged as leaders in the next dispensation.

He said, “This book comes at a very auspicious time in Nigeria’s history as we need leaders who can act. We need leaders who would not compromise the standards of good governance. God has blessed this nation the most in Africa, although we have not reached where we should be; with the right leaders, Nigeria would overcome its challenges.”

You guys should stop this annoying habit of talking down on teachers at any given chance. No serious country that wants to develop will do such . There are a thousand and one jobs that earn lower than teachers, why reference them every time poverty is mentioned.
