I wonder how life was in 1930s. People were still hustling, buying and owning cars, going clubbing, partying, investing.
The same thing we are doing now, and it will all be history soon.

RE-MISSING NEWS ON IYA OGE OF LAGOS

I just spoke to a Family member of Mama Oprah and I was told She is not missing. She is fine, hale and hearty. But not presently in Nigeria according to the information.

The false alarm was said to have come from an Aggrieved person close to her

Mama Oprah who will be 91 by February was married to late Chief T.O.S. Benson, a prominent Nigerian lawyer and former Minister of Information

They got married in 1962 and were married till he passed away in 2008 at the age of 90.

Is she having dementia? Lagos is a dangerous place to go missing. Lagos tops the list of missing persons in Nigeria, Lagos must urgently be decongested.
That is what the Lagos Calabar highway is trying to do decongest Lagos with the new Towns that will spring up along the Coastal Highway

Thanks for the update. The earlier news was quite worrisome.

how do you decongest Lagos? Let Federal characters be felt in other zones such as seaports, International Airports, Embassies, Multinational companies and Lagos will automatically be decongested.

Not sure the above recommendations will suffice to decongest lagos.

Those who are old enough to know the lagos before the federal government relocated to Abuja will tell you, nothing significant has changes and it is the same all over the world.From Indian, to Brazil, to South Africa and so on, Beijing has not stopped the growth of Shanghai. New York is equally congested.

The common traits is that, humans prefer to gravitate towards an already developed environment than to be part of the suffering communities waiting for power,roads, and other infrastructures to pass through their communities.

Quality of life is the driving force.

And you will see that for every single family moving out of the city, another 5 or more are demanding for a space to stay in the same city.

The solution is affordable and reliable efficient inter-modal transportation. That will include by water, by road (Mass transit not Danfo) and by good quality, medium speed trains.

A right thinking state like lagos can achieve that seamlessly if they will adopt private public partnership. Imagine if Lagos and Ogun state collaborate with private capital to build rail tracks and coaches from Ogijo to Marina, from Ifo-idi-iroko Shango-ota to Marina and this rail lines can get to marina in 30mins.

And another one from Ibadan to Ojota in 40mins.

You will be amazed how many people will prefer to live in Ogun or oyo state.

And private capital will be deployed under build, own and transfer back to government after 30 or 35yrs as it is done in other climes.

But we rather borrow money we cannot pay back from China and build rail track to Niger republic for political reasons instead of economic.

When we have good and efficient transport network, people would move on their own.

But the current structure where states and federal wants to fund everything through reckless borrowing because of corruption. Will keep us at the same level.

Government needs to do the needful by spreading development round the country. Let embassies, International Airports, seaports, multinational companies headquarters etc be spread round to all the geopolitical zones and you will see people staying in their country homes
