You don't know the effect of numbers in elections ask politicians who had lost due to insignificant number. You can hurt few pple and the large section will do the revenge. One wrong move during election can cost u winning. Anyway u know nothing about politics that's why u always run around like headless chicken supporting impunity up and down . Go and learn politics 101 if the Eastern votes is insignificant as u claimed why did ur Dad in Abuja keep wooing almost all their governors to APC.

That Makoko must go. It’s not fit for human or animal living. I was born in Iwaya and lived there for about three decades, but now I am flying from Europe to Asia, from Australia to America having a taste of different bittches.

Iwaya and Makoko are twin communities. As a matter of fact, the first police station in that corridor was named Iwaya-Makoko Police post. The first bank in that corridor was Iwaya-Makoko Community Bank, even the first NEPA office was named Iwaya-Makoko NEPA post.

If you are rejected by Iwaya girls because of your negative record, then you try Makoko girls. Most of the people in Makoko/Ilaje are from Ondo waterside and Ijaw. Another set of people there are from Badagary area of Lagos and the last group are Benin Republic citizens some of who have families in Badagary as a result of the 1840s Berlin Conference which divided Africa into countries.

It is not that these people cannot afford to live an average life in a decent community, but they just decided to live in that horrible society. Some have many wives and uncountable children like Atiku Abubakar. They need to go, they cannot continue living in that state.
Where the people living in Makoko comes from,does not really matter,like you said,they are from Ondo,others Ijaws and people from benin republic but let me ask you,who is truly a Lagosian?is it Tinubu that is from Iragbaji Osun state or most of the governors whom are destroying buildings and are claiming they are real omo oko!
The truth is that the demolition should only have happened if they had resettled them before the demolition,which we know that only reason for the demolition was never for the environmental wellbeing of the people living there but strictly for economic reasons.
They will only value these people when seeking for votes.

have you talked about the Lagos government providing social, economical welfare or resettlement for them. In other countries urban development requires those.

But because of you with a typical black man evil heart, it’s just to chase them out like that

Government does not need to provide shelter for them.

From the way you comment then You are not the one paying rent or property taxes in the house you are currently living in.

When your rent finishes do you go and tell the government to provide shelter for youhuh

Makoko is an environmental disaster and must be totally demolished.
Do you know how much to rent a single room in Lagos today?

Some of una go just open mouth waaaaaaaaaaa!!!

How many wives does Atiku have? That will determine the number of First Ladies Nigeria will cater for if he becomes president. Imagining having 30 Seyi Tinubu as children with security escorts. At least Buhari and Tinubu did us a favour by keeping to 1 wife each.

We don’t need their votes there. The entire South Easy votes is insignificant, not to talk of just Makoko
I tire o . . . Any small thing, people go shout election is coming, election is coming . . . Sentimental and emotional people everywhere . . . This is safety of lives, and properties that we are talking about, for Nigeria's sake . . .
