Na Gov Otti, he can never do anything wrong according to his people.

Imagine if this was to be in other state, they would have been the loudest

Oral notices were given to them. The harmonized task force pleaded with them to move out from the roads.

Some traders will carry goods and display on the road, obstructing traffic.

No be Lagos so no News abg...



If this is Lagos they will remind us of how she was a widow...

And how the Govt are tribalist and because of election...

They were told. Typical Nigerians. They don’t learn .

Something is fundamentally wrong with Nigeria..

Targeting helpless igbo traders.
Not fair

I watched a video last week online where the taskforce officials were warning the traders not to return to the main road for their trading.
I know that things are hard in the country, but that doesn't mean those traders should convert the main road as the shops.

Noted.

more characters needed

trace the background of the story before spewing rubbish

Agbero Dey learn work for lagos

jmoore:
Road and shop are different.

When you go to school, they will teach.

Until then, remain in Yaba ward.

come to ikeja along and see where your brothers display their wares or you want me to posts pictures here for you to justify rubbish again?.you block walk ways,laybacks,drainages,roads etc because you want to sell in Lagos and when the task force comes,you will shout hatred for Igbos.in your abia state now you turned yourself to teacher,shame

Tinubu and Sanwo-Olu need to take it easy. You can’t come all the way from Lagos to be doing this in far-away Abia.
The day Abians will get their first Ibo governor is the day all these will end, we can’t continue allowing non-Abians run our state for us, haba!
Since 1999, no single Ibo governor has ruled that state

you're just willingly ignorant, you know the truth but chose to play hateful politics

One sb from Ondo with no relationship to Lagos is always bragging about Lagos every Eke market day. You'd think Lagos is Dubai.

You'd think Nigerians don't have access to any state in Nigeria. Tribal illiteracy is a disease.

This same person is actually without any political value in reality but bleats on every thread for validation.

In reality, Igbos and Yorubas live peacefully. Online, irrelevant persons create war. I mean, why on earth should I hate a tribe I am related to? Lol. Even if I am not related, why? Like I'd always say, the Hausas are the most peaceful persons in Nigeria (I didn't say the fulanis)...that's because I've stayed with them and my opinions are anecdotal but like you are also entitled to yours.

Back to the topic, every taskforce in Nigeria ensures no seller is allowed to block the road while selling. A video surfaced weeks ago when the harmonized task force in Abia State warned every seller against selling on the road (or selling on the pedestrian walk way) and laid out punitive measures...but strong-headed people wanted to test it out. In Abia State, the ASEPA personnel will arrest you if the front of your house or shop is littered too. This was the same thing Fashola did and kept Lagos fantastically clean.

Break traffic rules, you'll be chased by the traffic task force guys on bike and fined. I saw this happen in Umuahia close to the FMC there. By the way, the FMC and Bank road is a beauty now.

Block the road, your vehicle will be towed by the task force too.

Misuse the bus stop, you'll pay for it.

The government is also cleaning the streets and building more roads and upgrading older ones. Ariaria is cleaner. I went to Brass Junction near Abia Poly and I won't lie, I was impressed. It's not Dubai yet but it's not the gutter Abia State was anymore.

And yes, there's light.
The fire service is responsive.

But police bribery is still there.

I like as the agberos have been cleansed. Tickets are sold online with uniformed taskforce to enforce it.

My two fav governors now in Nigeria is still Sanwo Olu and Otti.

I'm in Abia State currently and I am speaking from what I see.

Meanwhile, I tried the free bus and it's true.. it's indeed free.. has AC and modern features. Even charged with a 3.0 USB output.

Lastly, eno suppose better for the Kalus and Ikpeazu.

Who paid you the publisher for this one? I wonder how much you received for this.

At least watch the video. He has been warned repeatedly.

We are saying the same thing. Others are not been warned before their governors take actions. Only Abia state governor gave early warning

Eish

Are u in support of traders blocking the roads with their goods?


From the video they told them not to exceed the gutters

Nextjs:
Are u ib support of traders

We no dey shook mouth about una affairs. Whether the policy is right or not, we are just pointing out what you people are known for.

Would you have asked this question if it was to be in other state? Exactly

Thank God is not happening here in Lagos alone
The needs of the shop owners is to obey the law and guidelines of the state area areas they find themselves.

ALEX OTTI is a disgrace to good governernce, abians are tired of his poor leadership completely.
