Our stubbornness as individuals is annoying. We all saw it live in our primary and high school days.

Simple instruction based on simple logic, many will still do stronghead mastered from disjointed upbringing.

Jealous commissioner, with complete lack of focus. Will he swear that he never purchased akara, fried yams, fried fish, etc on the streets of Lagos? What about the Iya alamala, food sellers everywhere in Lagos? Why single out this young lady who cooks for free and relieves citizens who are already hard pressed not finding what to eat daily?

Your government makes policies that make lives difficult for citizens. Some private citizens choose to help out with such generous acts and you hide under one law or the other to make the life harder.

Last year they seized her equipments and she apologized. This time she cooked in the front of a palace and yet the jobless commissioner called her out again. Is she cooking politically? Or is it political cooking. Even if she makes content out of it, the cooking benefits the downtrodden who have suffered untold hardships in the hands of APC since 2015.
The truth is that she was reported by food sellers association in that environment

She is spoiling their business and that's why they complain to the authority who normally generate revenue from those normal market food vendors

I wish her good luck because those people can even start spiritual battles with her
Re: Desist From Street Cooking – Tokunbo Wahab Warns Actress Sarah Martin by obi58: 2:54pm On Mar 08
Of all the problems Lagos is bedevilled with. It is someone trying to cook and share to the less privileged that is the source of your concern. Some of your really need psychiatric evaluation.


simpleseyi:
We will show her pepper. Shey she thinks that na Pastor Chris Okafor or Abiodun Gucci Fatoyinbo and other Yahoo boys on the pulpits? She go cry tire for social media when we start with her. She will go back to her state of origin to cook on the road by the time we deactivate all her social media accounts by telling Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and others to deactivate her accounts

Seyi Tinubu immediately clarified that he did not give her any money. What happened was that some friends of his got together and gave her money without his knowledge (you can hear the person that gave her the money saying that Seyi Tinubu was not in the country at the time). He said that they might have meant well, but he does not support anything that violates the environmental laws of Lagos. I posted a screenshot of his statement on this thread.
Thanks Naptu for adding more CLARITY to this 10,000 USD donation to the actress.

It impressive that 'Seyi Tinubu came out to debunk the claim as it would be improper for the young man to support a clear violation of already existing laws of Lagos State passed by the Lagos State House of Assembly. It's totally IRRESPONSIBLE for people to point accusing fingers at the government while at the same time encouraging the violation of the laws of the land.


I'm NOT surprised though because some people are products of rural-urban migration and they bring up their entitlement syndrome and mediocre ways of doing things in the remote villages and rural communities to the urban areas and then the "culture clashes" begin with the regular violation of environmental laws with the indiscriminate dumping of urban wastes and more.

Laws are meant to be respected by all. You can't have one set of laws for some and another set of laws for others.


Thanks again for the insights.

While we advice Aunty Actress to desist from it as warned, which one is "...such activities (trading and cooking in public spaces)... Is not permitted under Lagos environmental protection law"

Is it because it's an actress?

Mr. Commissioner, who issues tickets to those women that trade and cook in public spaces at Iyana-Ipaja?

Same way LASTMA will be at Iyana-Ipaja roundabout, watching public buses load and offload passengers, without doing anything...these public buses will take half of the roundabout, loading Ikotun and Ayobo, causing traffic jam... But let "my car" (private cars) try to park there, you'll see them descend on the car like park of hyenas
Hahahaha, your observations is well noted, I used to wonder too.

.. what about those that fry akara, yam , plantain,puff puff on the roads sides in Lagos and sell..why are they not chased away from the road side
So those people you are referring to, were they cooking on the median of the road? Abi you don't know the meaning of median ni?

How many charity organizations have you seen cooking on the median of the road? You need to reexamine your thoughts process o.

AlphaTaikun:
I will have to ignore you from here on out if you don't keep your "head steady" Berem. You seem to have woken up on the wrong side of the bed today and didn't read the original post properly. That actress violated the environmental laws last year and after being WARNED, she went back again to violating the same law which has been in existence for years. Is that too difficult for you to understand? Lagos is a yeye state. How you choose to interpret it is your headache o! Me I no send anybody. I didn't insult Yoruba people and will never do that.
Sarah Martins is doing a charity work under the payroll of Seyi Tinubu. She has stopped cooking on the median of the road. If she decides to cook on the street like every other person has been doing, what is her offence? Or is it because she's an Igbo woman? Come out clean and say it!!

Second, so, cursing and referring to Lagos as "Yeye Lagos" isn't bigotry on your part?

Third, you are telling me who is a Diasporan about the issues in the Okokomaiko area. Don't you know the LGA chairman in that area who you folks can report to in order do some cleaning up of that area? Primarily, I believe the LGA is responsible for sanitation issues in the different States of Nigeria. Tokunbo Wahab is the Lagos State Commissioner for Environment and like I did on this same NL thread, I gave the over 54-year-old Wahab some advanced solutions that can be implemented without insulting him by calling him "use...less." You shouldn't be cursing him here just offer your solutions.
Again, residents can storm the social media platforms and administrative offices of government officials to let them know about some inneficient situations in their communities and they would definitely respond.

I don't have issues with her charity work but I fear that her activities may impact on local food businesses in that area. Also, her activity may cause public disruption, social disturbance and disorderliness.
Re: Desist From Street Cooking – Tokunbo Wahab Warns Actress Sarah Martin by jaxxy(m): 3:59pm On Mar 08
She can cook at home and share the food on the street buy cooking on the street she needs to get approval for the proper location I agree.

Though there are many local canteens cooking on the street corners.

So they confiscated her things. I trust LASG enforcementoctacy to operate maximally without soul or conscience.

I'm not supporting street cooking. They just shouldn't have seized her things. A verbal or written warning should have been enough.
You just heard that this is not the first time, this is not the first warning and you are still talking about verbal warning.
They should keep issuing verbal warning to someone who is deaf to common sense?

She was given prior warning but she still went on to cook on the road. Now she has been publicly warned, if she refuses to heed, whatever happens to her is her problem

No, I'm not aware that wasn't the first time. If she had received a warning and she persisted, it's understandable if they then confiscated her things.

That may be another angle. I like your opinion.

If she got a warning BEFORE they confiscated her things, that's on her. But if that (confiscation) was the first thing they did, that's when we say their enforcement doesn't have a human face.

Your matter tire me. What are you even saying?
Are you okay? What did I say wrong ? Is it the " she should abide by the laws or the suggestion of cooking at home or in private?" When has doing the proper thing become a crime? Or you are bored and looking for who will engage you. This is the last I will respond to you.
And trust me, I am trying really hard to be civil. If you dare call me that again, I will return the favour. Rubbeesh!

Are you doing anyone a favour by being civil or otherwise Mrs Hypocrite?

Why don't you go do something useful with your life instead of mindlessly pontificating about someone who's trying to help the underprivileged, something that Pharisees like you can never be caught doing yet find it easy to come and sermonize.

Even the Bible says that he who has not sinned should cast the first stone. LIE THAT YOU HAVE NEVER EATEN STREET FOOD BEFORE HYPOCRITE.
