Lagos should start taking waste management serious, cus more and more of dis will be coming, and she can be dis dirty. I mean, Lagos and Abuja should take the lead when it comes to cleanliness, and the water bodies treated.

If not that the FG didn’t allow the Atlantic Ocean to pass through South-East, these kind of events would have been happening on a daily basis in Alaigbo

Yup, I captured a view of the preparations yesterday.

Go Lagos!
Alot of people can jate Lagos but it's still the most developed state in Nigeria and hub of entertainment, art and sport.

Misplaced priorities just to fool the citizens.
A country where 1⅓ of their citizens (not foreigners) are hungry and jobless, but na boat race dy una mind.

Well if they can do it in bbn and the same jobless hungry citizens love it, wertin cun be boat race.
Why are you so bittered??

The benefit of this race outweighs the opposite.

Global Exposure,
Tourism Boost'
Promotion of Sustainability
Transport Infrastructure Development
Economic Opportunities & Local Business initiatives
Cultural & Community Engagement
Environmental Awareness & Clean waterway Initiatives
Attraction of Investment & Future Events...

And many more. Everything shouldn't be about what you as person will or will not gain. Development comes from something and this is part of it.
Jeez.

Make we wait for Obi and the Agobi squad to say this is a waste of resources as usual.
This is really beautiful, Lagos will be known across the world.

Facts as per today. It may not be all sunshine and daisies in Summer. But it is still the Nigerian Center of Excellence.

Many other States have the riverine/marine potential to do something with and work with. They have not explored these. Delta, Bayelsa and especially, Rivers State. Their water ways aren't also very secure either.
They also dont have the supporting infrastructure - like viewing points at boat club, yacht and civic centre, over head bridges and high rises surrounding the race points.

They might even be more beautiful naturally than lagos but events like this are built on supporting infrastructure.

You also make a good point about security though that is a variable that can be controlled for a one- two week period.

I can see only 12 people and 37 guests viewing this topic. Those people that are fighting psychological warfare against Lagos have been defeated. Ever since this game has been put on notice to hold in Lagos there has been wide excitement among Nigerians. DANGOTE group, First Bank and other Corporate institutions are supporting the game one way or the other. The gods of Lagos and the Wealth of the Seas will continually answer for them.

To those economic immigrants in Lagos who sees evil and talk bad about Lagos, they can only get more frustrated. One thousand ants cannot lift a cube of Sugar they can only perambulate and confuse themselves the more.

Good morning Lagos. The City of Wealth.

Is it the event taking place in Lagos that made some people out of bitterness and frustration to talk evil about Lagos environment to blackmail and de-market Lagos?

It is very very painful to them.

I no get problem with Lagos or their boat whatever. But is this what we need now?
Hunger, insecurity, dilapidated job opportunities, all manners of economic delays going on in the country, but na boat race we dy cheer?
Boat race but no job opportunities
Boat race but herdsmen ravage
Boat race but poor health care
Boat race but poor education
Boat race but stagnant development
Boat race but nothing tangible a whole self acclaimed giant of Africa can boast of.

Like let's tell ourselves the truth. How long we are going to keep defending trash?

No matter who the governor is in Lagos, I think there's a template of pace setting that each serving governor always follow and would try to out do the previous governor.

This is what leadership should be about and something all state should follow

Bola Tinubu as Governor was better than Buba Marwa

Fashola, did better than Tinubu

Ambode tried so much, but had just 4 years

Sanwoolu took over and did things Ambode didn't do like the railway.

Next Governor should know he can't settle for less.

Unlike Ogun Stare, that previous governor is always better than incumbent. They take leadership backwards in some states in Nigeria
I think Ambode wants to deviate from the template reason he didn't get the second term ticket
