I wish it were your leg that was broken hopeless Yam tuber leg Igbo woman, Carry your smelly thing back to the sad east.

Acidosis:
Here in Akute, the useless bridge linking Ojodu Lagos to Estate/Alagbole/Akute, Ogun state is in deep mess.


Governor Amosun is a monumental failure. APC Governors are the most wicked and hypocritical politicians in the world. I could not believe my eye when I saw a canoe on a so called major road in Ogun, near Lagos.

These guys are strict about their tax but ideal and docile when it comes to WORK. Just yesterday a woman who sells stuffs like indomie, sachet water, cray fish, salt, pepper and the likes was harassed because she's unable to pay Amosun's N8000 tax! The whole goods in her shop isn't worth N50,000, yet Amosun's touts won't stop these idiocy.

The CAP wearing governor should come to the rescue of Ogun state dwellers, particularly those living in the aforementioned places. This man sends his touts to collect tax from the highly populated and fast developing neighborhoods of Lagos only to pour the returns in Abeokuta and some ideal villages in Ogun.


@Amosun, a woman broke her leg last week saturday while moving on one of your useless and idle projects. I couldn't breath on seeing shattered legs in the dungeon you called road.

May God reward you in bad measures. You all will pay for your evils including the mad pilot we call governor in Kogi.

angelsing:
My brother even when the government provide such, they still refuse to patronise them because they rather pour it in the drainage than pay to be properly disposed

millionboi:
Blame APC

we Humans cannot stop the rains from falling. These are natural events, but we can do something to prevent them from having great impact.

our Government are not trying at all because they are lot of step they can take to control flooding and make flow of water easy.

I have seen countries where rain fall constantly but there is a good drainage system and underground well, once the rain stops within 1-2 hours everywhere is dried up.

Blame our Government.

MosakuAW:
It is well.

dasphinx1:
My guy, that area ehn....i witnessed, first hand, flood for that zone 2weeks ago....kai!!!!! thank God my cousin knew how to manouver back to the express..... i pray i would not have a reason to go there again....here is a pic i took from akute area....

Sponge3:
Same in Texas .

MizMyColi:
Blame our people too!
Blame us for not heeding advice and orders, despite sensitizations to keep our environment clean.

Blame Coke, Pepsi, Dangote, Nestle and co...
For producing almost non-biodegradable pet bottles.

Blame our local waste collectors.

Blame the citizenry more.
I share in that blame [size=1pt]- I try to not litter the environment sha.
Most of the time when I drink sachet or bottle water or eat gala or whatever on the road, I neatly fold (where applicable) and discard in a next available suitable place..clap for me na [/size]

Swiftboy:
and they always shout Fashola is working back then. He did not do anything as now flood still occur in Lagos. White elephant projects everywhere leaving out what matters,the very essential project is always neglected. A mega city like Lagos deserve big underground sewer with water treatment plant at the end of it smh

Onegai:
For once I must disagree with you. There are private companies in Lagos who recycle PET bottles and pure water sachets. Fashola's "able" government and its parastatals were too busy wasting their time and looking for roadblocks to mount in their way. The pure water recycling plant was meant to produce waste bags (Fashola gave the contract to his relative, who started importing the waste bags and branding them). Yet when Fashola and his cohorts want to do publicity, they will go to the plant, snap photos, call journalists and give one fantastic story (as if it was working at full capacity).

I have so much proof on this, as I was working for Lagos state at that time. I couldn't believe the nonsense I saw and the elephant projects for waste executed by Fashola, who couldn't be bothered to utilise the expensive Waste Management facilities he built at Oshodi and Sura. They worked at less than 30% capacity. The PET bottle company, LASG used to frustrate them like mad and call for meetings in which nothing sensible will be resolved. They have a plant at Amuwo Odofin.

I blame LASG 70% for this mess and flooding. If they do their part and not eye service, they can effectively tackle Lagosians dumping waste everywhere. After all, wasn't it less than 10 years ago they achieved at least 60% compliance with seatbelt wearing in vehicles?

SirStevoe:
Wow! Even Ikeja isn't spared. Lol
In actual sense, the flood wasn't caused by the Lagos rains, but by blocked/insufficient drainage channels. These drainages did not block themselves, they were blocked by human beings. People who have poor values, who in turn have no value for environment and others. These set of people are the ones who turn these drainages to their refuse grounds and dump all sorts there.
Then when events such as these occur, government is blamed?!
This is not to absolve the government of blame, but if each one of us play our respective roles and citizens become law abiding, things will definitely move forward and the change we seek becomes clearly visible.
Government and people need to work hand in hand, Nation building isn't a job for either party but for both, individually and collectively.


I Don taya for this nonsense.


Change!!! Eko Oni Bake O!!!

themodernman:
Oga lomomike sorry for disturbing again oh.

So what do you think is d fate of these vehicles dat are almost drowning and is there a preventive measure against ds?

Madamkilljoy:
I beg to disagree with the above mentioned, Sir Steve. I'll heap most of the blame on the doorstep of the government. They have tried but they should try harder. What would you say of the Apapa/Oshodi expressway? Whenever it rains, you know what happens. Tax payers money shouldn't be used for the beautification of the city only, rather it should be channeled to solving this monster called flood. However, a little portion of the blame would go to some pedestrians who love to litter the environment. Nevertheless, I think a law should be passed banning people from dropping filths on the road.

cc mizmycoli
