No he isn't.

The only people who aren't thinking are those who live in filth and refuse to clean up...only to extort those who actually turn up to clean up the place.

There is no excuse for this. Those are filthy people, full stop.

That is eko for you. The guts that thiese guys have is unimaginable. The govt just decided to give a blind eye to them to continue to be a menace to the society.
They are only useful for grabbing, and running away with ballot boxes. By the time these boys will begin to pick up arms like those ones up north it ain't gonna be funny no more.
With all the billions generated from Lagos state the government has failed to do anything about these boys. It has even become a generational thing but it would blow up in our faces soon.

Sw has the highest amount of children without father's & also the highest amount of out-of-school children in the south. In 20 years the terrorism in SW will be like what's happening in the north today. That's why we must all go back to our region cos whats coming form the SW in the future go loud gaun

The rot runs deep. Someone wants to clean your hood, rid it of diseases and you're demanding money? Some people do not want Nigeria to get better. They enjoy the rubbish system.

We have to control our population and birth rate in Nigeria... the youthful population is up to 150 million youths... and how many of these youths in this 150 million are engaged or working ..many youths are idle... and an idle mind is the devil's workshop..population growth is growing more faster than the economy growth... Nigeria birth rate everyday.. daily is 20,000 and more everyday..20,000 babies given birth everyday..we have to control the population and our birth rate
Why do u think we have fulani bandits and boko haram? And then soldiers with bullets that can cost $2 each.

One bullet can take a man down, instead of the politicians to invest heavily in the future of the youth, they can easily loot state resources, then use soldiers and police to take down frustrated jobless and new crime-recruited youth and the cycle goes on.

Some people are saying this is one of effects of population explosion, I don't share that idea, the population supposed to be a catalyst for growth and not it's menace, take China for example their population is more than Nigerian 10 times
You are comparing Nigerians to the Chinese? grin grin

Chinese are largely homogeneous; Nigerians aren't. China experienced terrific economic growth consistently for decades; ours got destroyed by Buhari in 2015. Since then, to see 5% GDP per annum growth na by connection.

If this actually happened, one can now conclusion that there's no manner of nonsense that doesn't happen in this country! That's why Donald Trump called it a disgraced country!
It's not about if it actually happens, it's a daily occurrence here in Lagos, even to build a house it's same thing


I was once working to bring down a damaged roof for renovation in Lagos, same thing happened, I was flogged with a plank, all cause we don't settled them before starting work


That's a normal thing sadly the Authority are in support of it

Yea I wouldn't be surprised seeing their mentor Mc Oluomo rising to the level he did because of his loyalty to the man at the top. But they don't realize only less than one percent can make it that far.
It's a failure of the society. A pity Many do not see the danger ahead with these boys roaming everywhere.

If your car run out of fuel in some area and you went to get fuel with Jerry can, they will ask you to settle before you can pure the fuel that you bought with your own money, in your own car on a public road, if you divert to inner street during heavy traffic, they will ask you to pay before you can pass their street
Was shocked when I came newly to Lagos. The company car I and the driver was sent errand with had tyre issues on the road... Could believe these smelling touts made us pay before tyre could be fixed?

I was shocked

Imagine asking someone who wants to help you clean your house to pay you first.

This kind of rubbish can't even happen in the North where there're more illiterates.

THIS CURRENT GOVT ACTUALLY ENABLED AND EMPOWERED THEM AND THEIR CRIMINALITY
It was so much that even their Leader M.C dreamt of becoming the Governor of Lagos State!

Imagine, asking responsible people who had other beneficial things to do, volunteering to clean up the mess that some of these dirty people create, being asked to pay for doing such public service?
Should the Police and DSS not be swinging into action immediately, arrest and lock-up these criminals?
Na Blogger be their main job description.

But let us be fair, this is a "Sothern Nigeria" problem, not just Lagos alone.

I was at Onitcha recently and saw similar thing happening at their Public Bus terminals.
Local touts insisted l must pay them, before the Alabaru that carried my things to the Motor Park, could put them down.
Another set now came, to ask for more money before they could be loaded into the Bus that was taking these things to another State.
I was like, how can l pay you for dropping them down behind the boot of the Vehicle, and still pay you to put them in the Boot of the Vehicle?
Small time now, na una still go dey should "double taxation" under Tinubu regime.

Same thing plays out in PH where "Deve" has taken a life of its own.. shocked grin grin

This is sheer CRAP!
How come it is the same SW y'all run to, as soon as you can jump on the tail board of a moving Night Bus going from Onitcha-bridgehead to Lagos?
Lagos, as bad as you guys say it is, is like going to America for most of you.
See Lagos and die.. tongue tongue

A member of the Ratel movement has raised concerns after some touts in Lagos demanded money before allowing volunteers to carry out their cleaning activities.

The popular human rights activist known as VeryDarkMan started a monthly nationwide community clean-up initiative. Volunteers from the Ratel movement have been working across Nigeria to keep public spaces clean. The operation, which began a few days ago, has seen success in several cities.

However, in Lagos, members of the movement have faced challenges from street touts (also called "area boys"wink who demanded payment before permitting the volunteers to clean public areas. A tense confrontation almost escalated into a fight as both sides kept pushing each other. Towards the end of the video, one of the Ratel volunteers was heard telling a tout to step back, saying his gangs at the back had already been paid.

Watch the tough confrontation unfold in the video.

I agree with you... Many of their kids are born out of wedlock...the few that attempt wedlock do that in some parlour and call it introduction

They don't go to villages to know the Historical and genetic ties of their partners that's the few 10%

Others just give woman belle carry them enter house
