I want to surmarise 2 key points which are economic Demise and Geologiocal Disaster

The following 5 reasons are why despite the overated City whose inhabitants have refused to tell themselves the glaring truth i feel Lagos is doomed

Over Prices for Over Glorified Real Estate
This More than any other reason has made some lazy folks Multimillionaires whose only hard work is that their parents and grand parents bought Land from God Knows where to build ramshackles that are not fit for human habitation but as a result of the scarcity of habitable spaces are now gold mines. yours truly happens to live in one of such buildings in an estate in Gbagada where i am being made to spend as much as N1.5M per annum for a glorified Duplex which falls short of my Modest house in my Village in the East.
Such Glorified Duplexes adorn the Landscape of Lagos with migrant workers from mainly the south East and south south paying huge sums of money to ingrates masquerading as landlords

The Rise and Rise of Omonile , Street Urchins, Bastards and Area Boys
Brethen , there is now an army of unemployed youths who are mainly Bastards from the neigbouring states and lagos who make a livelihood out of the sweat of hardworking Nigerians , these unemployed youths have created an industry out of extorting hardworking business men, bus drivers, building developers , Nollywood practitioners and with the tacit approval of traditional rulers in those domains with the law enforcement authoritities , political office holders looking the other way.
My encounter with these categories of human beings reveal that the bulk of the money collected goes to Area fathers who remit part of the Money to the Government . These societal invalids have made the sale of hard drugs and banned substances very lucrative.

Lagos has the highest number of street kids who live off other people's sweat in the whole world

The Incidence of Badoo and unending menace of one chance and ritual killers
By far lagos is now the most socially unstable state apart from the North East state of Borno. Lagos now appears to be the capital of ritual killing among the Lagos Ibadan axis of evil. everyday Large swarms of people are taking to ritual dens in the forests and jungles of Ogun , ibadan Ikrorodu from Lagsos state, these has gone for ages with Law enforcement agents pretending not to know what to do.
Lagos runs and economy that is powered partly by Blood Money and money from extortionist

The Rise of the Menace of Flood and building Collapse
This Year Alone the flood in Lagos made the owners of houses in the posh Area of Lekki , VGC etc to loose Millions of Naira in repairs of spoilt automibile, furniture, house hold gadgets. and hardly any month goes without the incidence of collapsed buildings in lagos Island leading to losses of lives and property , my investigation reveals that most of the private houses in the Lagos were built with a poor cement , sand mixture , for those houses built with the right mixture they are daced with the issue of corrosion arising from the fact that the lagos water is a corrosion inducing saline water
Lagos has the highest rate and number of collapsed building in the whole world

Epidemiology and the potential breakout of a Plague
To say that Lagos water is poluted is simply an under statement of the problem, under description of the issues at stake and being miserly with the truth. The fact remains that Lagos is the most poluted city in the world with a Lagoon that doubles as a cemetery for unclaimed corpses and a sewage dump for poor folks , while the whol world staggers at the fact that the oceans of the world is now filled with plastics enough to kill of the world population with cancer, Lagos waters system is being fed continually with untreated waste water from factories , untreated sewage water from homes and hotels and the dangerous but under reported cases of corpses in the waters .leading to a whole cycle os drink poisoning for poor and under privilidge people who live off untreated water from Cway , Bottled water companies etc.

The City of Lagos has the dirtiest surface water in the whole world.

The Very High Cost of doing business
if you ever considered that the cost of doing Business in Lagos is one of the highest in Africa except for Luanda in Angola , this is why many businesses are rushing to Ogun State which is even not ready to be a manufacturing Hub.
I once carried out a review of the cost of Manufacturing of a consumable item like detergent in Lagos and i found out that why Lagos is a choice place of some companies like PZ , Unilever, Cadbury and Nestle is that Nigeria is a land locked country with only a source of entrance to the country through the Apapa warf.
Well my survery shows that the manufacturing cost in Cities like Kaduna, Kano , Aba and Onitsha is about half the cost in Lagos but because of the absence and working ports in Other coastal states like Cross River , Delta , Rivers and Bayelsa, Manufacturers have no option than to cite their factories in Lagos , thus contributing to the water , Air pollution index and to the congestion of the city state.


Please forgive my rushed and often incomplete sentences , i hope you all understand
To be continued after a coffee break .....

Nigeria is a big joke...we r living in a concrete nation.

I see only two strong points:

*The Rise and Rise of Omonile , Street Urchins and Area Boys

* The Rise of the Menace of Flood and building Collapse

Real estate is an opportunity, you and I may be worse had our parents bought landed properties in Lagos in the 70s. The Badoo on the other hands, will soon be fished out. It's all about time

Do you realise that there is a potential for a break out of a plague in Lagos, where does your drinking water comes from and have you eaten food from a road side canteen or cafeteria ?

There is no point singling out Lagos. Nigeria itself is a big slum.

Tell me, which system is working efficiently in the whole of Nigeria?

No clean streets
No good roads. Too many unpaved surfaces.
No good drainage
No sound security
No pipeborne water
No power supply
No world class education
No sound health-care
No affordable housing or mortgage system
No industries to employ young people
No efficient tax system
No sound electoral system
No anti-pollution or emission policy
No world class transport system (road, sea, air)
No tourism
No refineries
No efficient ports
No identification system
No welfare system
No efficient tax system
No emergency response system
Poor courts
Zero prison/reforming system

Heck! You don't even know how many you are! Or what's your population figure?

Just remove Lagos and insert Nigeria. You would still be right

Or is it not in Nigeria that Customs officials chase people to impound cars which passed through the borders in the first place and traders in the markets? Pure madness!

Is it not in Nigeria that Local Government officials and thugs place spikes on your path and force you to pay senseless levies? Pure lunacy!

Is it not in Nigeria that adults and school kids are kidnapped regularly?

Is it not in Nigeria that bombs and explosions have been going off for over 7 years?

Is it not in Nigeria where your governors talk so arrogantly and ignorantly even while mismanaging and living large on your resources?

Is it not in Nigeria that you don't even know whether or not to remain as one country?

My only problem with lagos na house rent and agbero.

Yes, well well, mama Yinka and ewa-agonyin.



Epidemics is in the offing in Nigeria

But I use to hear that Lagos is the best state in naija


I never visit there sha

The no 1 problem we are facing is electricity. Until there is a solution,we cant move forward.

As usual they are wishing Lagos doom. The oloripelebes

Your forefathers and then later Ojukwu had always wished the doom for Lagos from ages, but guess what it will never happen.
Lagos will forever be one of the preeminent cities in Africa even after Nigeria is long gone and you ingrates are all back in your enclaves.

Wetin concern agbero with overload.
Pig! mind your eastern sty.

Flat headed bad belle ipig!

unemployed youths have created an industry out of extorting hardworking business men, bus drivers, building developers , Nollywood practitioners and with the tacit approval of traditional rulers in those domains with the law enforcement authoritities , political office holders looking the other way.

You sound like you have mafia. I heard of people bein robbed. They just need high police presence. That only works if they aren't taking cut.

for those houses built with the right mixture they are daced with the issue of corrosion arising from the fact that the lagos water is a corrosion inducing saline water

Nothing Lagos can do about that short of terraforming the environment. If you live by ocean get used to salt. It's like complaining about sun when you live by equator.

and hardly any month goes without the incidence of collapsed buildings in lagos Island leading to losses of lives and property , my investigation reveals that most of the private houses in the Lagos were built with a poor cement ,

Local government needs to get serious about code enforcement. Most of these collapsed building are either illegal structures or poor built by bad builders.

Lagos waters system is being fed continually with untreated waste water from factories , untreated sewage water from homes and hotels and the dangerous but under reported cases of corpses in the waters .

They could just build waste waterm treatment plant. 80% of the water needs of state can be handled that way.

kettykin:
Do you realise that there is a potential for a break out of a plague in Lagos, where does your drinking water comes from and have you eaten food from a road side canteen or cafeteria ?

You obviously live in a slum or a ghetto in Lagos, that is why you are familiar with eating from a roadside canteen or cafeteria.

You are here trying to pretend that the state capitals in your own region do not have area boys, touts, street urchins or cults that operate under the cover of darkness, and in broad daylight? Should I pull up posts of different encounters people have had with touts and agberos in the South-East?

Floods were also recorded in your own part of the country during the last set of heavy rainfall, that wreaked havoc nationwide.Continue pretending. If your bad belle does not kill you, your ignorance will do the job. If someone dashed you a house in Lagos right now, would you not take it? Nansense!

This Year Alone the flood in Lagos made the owners of houses in the posh Area of Lekki , VGC etc to loose Millions of Naira in repairs of spoilt automibile, furniture, house hold gadgets. 

Get flood insurance. State government can improve drainage. That people should also stop throwing trash in it.

yours truly happens to live in one of such buildings in an estate in Gbagada where i am being made to spend as much as N1.5M per annum for a glorified Duplex which falls short of my Modest house in my Village in the East.

You have two homes so life not that bad for you. Besides your in highly ubarnised city. I can see a few potential solutions. You should move personally. Lagos can make it easier to build up more high rises and lofts. That way you can live in Lagos on 5 floor somewhere.

everyday Large swarms of people are taking to ritual dens in the forests and jungles of Ogun , ibadan Ikrorodu from Lagsos state, these has gone for ages with Law enforcement agents pretending not to know what to do.

Crime happens only more police presence can solve that.

Rubbish

I want to surmarise 2 key points which are economic Demise and Geologiocal Disaster which are the biggest threat to the existense of the citywhose growth must have been fueled as a result of the victory of the federal goverment after the civil war.
like New Orleans Lagos is the most Geologically Risky City in the World , not much to argu here but a slight Sunami will wipe the city of Lagos of the map and no inurance or reinurance company can take this risk.

The economic Demise of Lagos is a matter of time , Lagos is walking on borrowed legs and the owner of the legs is coming or rousing from slumber , Niger delta oil is what fueled the growth of Lagos as Nigeria undergoes the much needed restructuring that can guarantee its survival and as companies reallign their business policies to suit the new Nigerian order , Lagos might not be able to fund infrastructural maintenance as the biggest tax payers , the Oil Industry , Banks onwed Largely by delta igbos might look elsewhere to site their business headquaters.

Lagos hater..!!! I noticed you've gone to change the wordings of your topic. Where is your DEMISE AND DOOM wish ?
Just tell us exactly what is biting you.
Show me any coastal town in the world that have ever suffered this your desire for Lagos? Tell just one city of such.
Before Lagos demised, all your rubbish 5 villages you called states would have been wiped off the surface of the earth.
Take that to your bank

OP when do you plan on going back to your home in the east? You seem disgruntled. Do you plan on living in different state in SW instead?

My simple question is: What the hell are you still doing in Lagos? You can't be inside a house on fire and still be telling others outside that the house is on fire.

Ehiscotch:

This is not the Blue3k, that I know. Someone hacked his account, and is now impersonating him. Whoever it is, I am warning you to desist from using Blue3k's account right now.....

Word of advice for you OP: Bad-belle dey run belle. You won't go far in life with all that envy, jealousy and bigotry. Release yourself from all that bile, for your own good. 'Nuff said.

laudate:

Lol its me. I just don't agree with people like him. He's not a tree so he can always go loo for green pastures especially if he already has a house in the east. My cousin and girlfriend moved from Akwa Ibom to Abuja by themselves. My father moved from Oregon to California to Texas. Why stay where your not happy.

For the Benefit of Doubt , Lagos is not my Only Base, i have travelled all the 36 states of Nigeria including Abuja the FCT, I have travelled almost all the Local Governments in the South West , North West and the North East , I have bases in Lagos , Abuja and PH , i dont want to start mentioning my bases elsewhere . My write up about lagos is becuase i have seen the rate at which Lagos is declining and need to raise my voice in the face of this calamity .

I am raising the voice basically to alert the lagosians on the demise of their beloved city and to alert my eastern brothers to stop further investment

Poppycock. Guy, who are you tryna fool? You are a well-known yoruba-hater/hypocritical igbo supremacist/ipob sympathizer so save us the crap. Listen and listen good, Lagos will continue to shame your likes even long after you are dead, buried and forgotten. Na today? Shiorr.

Nobody is begging you to raise your voice about Lagos. It is better if you raise your voice about Aba, Onitsha and rest of your region. Raise your voice about the erosion, bad infrastructure, bad sanitation and poor status of your own area, first!

These idiotic pigs are so full of hate...smh

When losers like you lack the ability to provide factual points, they resort to insults. You are one of the slaves begging Nigeria for freedom aren't you? Thanks for letting us know your problem. And you also just confessed that you were raised in an orphanage. No wonder you decided to take refuge in verbal abuse. You were not raised with any manners. Ndo. Try not to feel bad....or act too shameless.
