Festac Town I was born and bred in the 80s is no longer the same today. The town has lost its credibility

Tinubu build Lagos

benardtotti:
Festac was sold off ,yet you want government to come and take care of it for you ? It's like asking government to come take care of 1004 even after selling it to private owners ,the reason nigeria hasn't gone far is because citizens refuse to take responsibility for things they should and would rather point fingers at the govt.

Oga, it is the responsibility of government to effect the laws that make cities, states and territories decent and habitable.

Laws about planning, laws about the environment, laws about development control.

In Abuja it is them that designated green areas for ambience, food control. It is them that are giving out permits to build over them today. Just annoying.

23rd 5th Avenue Q close, House? when it mattered

Jagabanbogu:
I am glad I lived in festac when it mattered... I also left before it no longer mastered

richiemcgold:
What is currently happening at the trade fair complex in ojo will soon happen in FESTAC town.

.. don't say I did not tell you o

God bless you, it will soon happen, very soon

I think you are dreaming of this man all the time, even when you cannot perform in the other room, you still blame the President.

You see that last photo? That was Tilumbu’s original master plan for Lagos which he drew in 1945 after the Second World War when he was just -7 years old, then he gave it to Gowon in 1979 before he left for Chicago to make money for the building phase.

When we tell you people that he built Lagos you people will be arguing. Now you have seen it.

He’s the President, the “bulk” stops at his table. Am I lying?

If that's your reason or excuse and as lame as it is, does he have anything to do with FESTAC?

PandoraObi:

Are you saying that he didn’t build Lagos again? Is Festac not in Lagos?

But if the same government comes around tomorrow to enforce laws and permits ,same you will turn around and play victimisation card , do you know some people actually went to court ,dragged lagos state to court over environmental sanitation, same people will still come out and shout flood and lagos is dirty . Like I said a society that doesn't like to take responsibility for anything but turn and blame government can never go far.

nawa oo. Wetin dey do una for this forum. Abeg who gist you the story.

They set standards and built solid features. But look at how degrading everything has turned out due to useless, clueless people in power

gbaskiboy:
Same Festac town has become an eyesore, dirty everywhere with dilapidated buildings.

they should bring everything down and remodel and rebuilt. It will be so senseless to renovate a building of 50yrs.

mascot87:
I am glad Tinubu is permanently in the head of you people to keep tormenting you day and night.

Same way Obi lives rent free in yours to keep.... complete it.

That is how Abuja will turn out in a hundred years from now at the rate lawlessness rabes on.

Today virtually alll the green areas are being overrun, residential properties are being converted to commercial purposes and infrastructure is in decay.

Development is not about spending on projects and the provision of infrastructure alone. It is also about the power of laws and edicts to preserve them. It is about institutions being guardians of norms and standards.

This failure makes Nigeria a third world country and at the rate it goes will make Abuja a third world city in a a few decades just like Festac has gone bust.

Every where na car stand for Abuja. Everywhere!!

This is one of the legacy projects of the General Yakubu Gowon era. However the beauty thereof have long been defeated due to population expansion and poor maintenance culture of the government.

More like the maintenance culture of the people. We always blame govt for everything.
You have to go outside of your village, travel around the world and see how ordinary people take good care of their neighborhoods, their immediate environment to see that we thr people are the real problem.
I lived here when it first opened. I still remember vividly exactly how it looked when we first moved in.

Ot has gone down mostly due to over population, people moving in families of 10 into an apartment meant for 3 3 to 4 people. Over population outs extrem pressure on sewage, water, electricity and roads. It
The same people don't want to pay for any service such as water, sewage and others, they expect govt.to just take care of everything.
That doesn't happen anywhere in the world.

FESTAC is not owned by LASG, FHA is managing the affairs there...

It is a well known fact of the saying the ignorance is a bliss.

The same way trade fair complex is not owned by LASG

Also a community bank called Co operative bank and a big market

Today it is a disorganized town

That is the reason my dear. We want government to do all for us. Even those in government want the same.

illuminutty:
Abokis okada riders, keke and street trading have destroyed Festac town.

I don't even want to talk about the total infrastructural neglect that place has suffered.

No single road in Festac Tow presently.

It has the highest number of bad roads and potholes more than Ogun State.

Same Festac populated by igbo hookup girls?
