Realdeals:
Lagosian's aross all spheres of life yesterday protested against the anti-peoples policies of the Lagos State government under the leadership of Akinwunmi Ambode.

Street traders who are been hunted daily by the environmental taskforce and others who have been displaced and evicted from their homes marched on the streets of Lagos on Tuesday to express their dissatisfaction with the governor policies.

They alleged that the Lagos State government has been engaged in landgrabbing and the demolition of waterfront communities. Land seized from the poor in Lagos State is then sold to real estate developers and other businesses with connections to the state government. They called on Governor Ambode to invest in social housing and stop demolishing existing buildings, provide for the poor, create affordable housing and security and put an end to indiscriminate arrest of Lagosians, especially petty traders.

It's like something is wrong with this ambode

Iolo:
He is building a brt terminal not really a park. 3 multi story terminals are being built at oshodi. 1 for interstate movement and the other 2 for travel within the state.

Here’s a link to the mock up video for how it’ll look -

Na only for Lagos person go climb three floors to load Sagamu motor.

Ventura1:
Ambode has crippled critical state agencies like LSPWC and LAWMA. The rate of bad roads in the state is alarming and Lagos is more dirtier than before.

I swear very dirty and it stinks....spits.

lelvin:
There is a price for development.

price of development ?demolishing people houses with our giving them somewhere else to sleep with thier children,after 2013 earthquake in Bologna Italian government put many families for hotel blacks among ooh not for one day but for many month's till ur house is tested ,blacks re very wicked

bayulll011:
People still don't get it.

the most incompetent and pathetic governor in nigeria is Ambode.
these one is not fit to rule,forget all the elephant project he's doing all in the name to embezzle money,during fashola era the world recognise Lagos as fast developing state and not just words but infrastructures and good policies,but what do we have now.

1.Lagos traffic

Heaven knows these is one of the hellish and most annoying thing Lagosian go through daily,all the road are either bad or being in the state of comatose for more than a year due to reconstructuring and slow executions of projects by hes croonics called contractors.

how do you explain the traffic on the island and mainland,u spend most of your time on traffic,you wonder what happen to the fear of lasma we have during fashola regime,all you see is danfo drivers picking and causing traffic in all bus stops.

2.Refuse

lagos has turn to what i called a bin,no street in lagos you will pass through where there will not be gabbages of rubbish in streets,highways etc,he he is clueless on managing waste that was going on fine during fashola era,Ambode gave expatriate to manage the waste in his state these can only be said of someone who is clueless.

3. Infrastructures.

forget all the Elephant project,Ambode is looting Lagos dry,no accountable on all the project in lagos,is either those projects are over budgeted or projected in a manner that one will wonder what's going on,remember Abule Egba bridge and Ojota pedestrian bridge this is just one of those project,and someone should tell him o stop buying generators to power those street,a sensible and visionary leaders envisage and solve problems that may arise in the future not buying generators to police and adding to global warming.

4.Education.

i have not seen anything in these area,Ambode still enjoy all the policies Fashola put into place,fashola build and renovated all the public schools and created some learning and research centres for children with special attributes,but ambode seems not to understand that Lagos populace needs more and viable world class education centres to meet up with the rest of the world.

Amdode has no idea to turn the education of the state around,go to some public school today it will suprise you that some don't have chairs they sit on floor to attends to lectures.


5.Electricity

someone should educate mr Ambode that the whole body of lagos is covered with water,and there is something they called Hydro thermal energy,these can generate more than 34,000 megawatts of electricity and he can sell to neighboring state and earn more money,he should stop buying generators to power all the street light in lagos,this is 2017 for heaven sake the arctic ice is melting,there is global warming he should meet professionals,a nuclear fusion reactors that can be easily shut down by water can serve the whole nation instead of waiting for the unfortunate people at the senate to pass a bill on devolutions of electricity bill that will never see the light of the day.

6.Employment

The lagos state govermnet website advertised some opening recently i will ask how many people was able to apply and get the job,he favored hes croonics,party cheiftance favored the meneber of hes church,no JOB is thrown at the masses,he recruited LASMA recently,where are they today,now neighborhood watch,he waste so much on unproductive projects,most of these projects also take eternity before execution.

Go to street of lagos all you see are hungry and angry youth roaming the street,cos no job which has already paved way to differnet crime in the state,he should come up with idea to employ the common man on the street not all these unproductive job that add nothing to the state.

7.Health.

lagos still don't have viable health scheme,go to our various hospital you will be amazed and cry for us as a nation's,no tools to work on,no word class health equipments you buy bed space,you pay for everything,annoying thing is they fly abroad if they have malaria,lagosian should be wise and these issues of God father has to stop,vote for a sensible and visionary leaders that will add value to your life.

You were a bit harsh Sha, but you listed strong points.

kay29000:
But the man is just trying to build a more structured Lagos, where people follow law and order.

Why are Nigerians dis evil
Did u listen to thier complains
Must all water front be prime real estate
U guys will support anything no be say u are even doing better
If we check now Na one face me I slap u
U dey live for ajangbadi

UfuomaUN:
You were a bit harsh Sha, but you listed strong points.

that is what they deserve.

you need to be harsh,those leaders dont care.

Johnrake69:
You just spoke my mind. The current trend is really dangerous. One can't help buh ask, is development made for man or Man made for development?

Thanks my brother. It's really annoying.

QueenOfNepal:
80% of the protesters are Yoruba so keep quiet

Oh so u whr in that crowd. Sorry for the lose of ur gala stand

Yes, blacks are wicked. And it gives me great relief that you're black. No one prays to fall into hard times but we are sometimes the architects of our problems. For every state, there is a master plan. Yet, people throw caution to the wind and build anyhow. Am not rejoicing over their misfortune, but they also share in the blame.

First off, I have a pretty strong feeling these ones were paid to protest. Trust me, na only person wey chop belleful dey get energy make noise.

On the other hand, even if these aren't paid protesters, why are Nigerians such backward people, so resistant to positive change? Ban okada - protest; as if okada is used as a means of transportation in advanced countries. Ban roadside hawking - protest; even though they know that it poses a risk to their lives and health and occasionally people masquerade as hawkers to rob other people and perpetrate evil. Destroy illegal structures - protest; forgetting that these structures are in the way of the states master plan and in quite a few cases constitute environmental and physical hazards.

Look, if you want to remain backwards, go back to your village and remain backwards there. Don't come to a city and try to live unregulated village life. Funny thing is even if you move to your village, development will still come knocking at your doorstep so better just get with the program.

intruxive:

See this yigbo people o! They have finish IPOB protest in isi alamgba now they are coming to disturb peace and development in lagos.
Abeg if lagos say we dont want gala hawkers and dirty shade everywia can they not relocate to the land of milk and honey (poto republic)

take a closer look at pics again. They Ugly looking kone heads

Do you know how much waste those guys at the waterfront generate on a daily basis and dump into the lagoon, which eventually constitute environmental hazards and health challenges? Would you ask your child to live in a lagoon front shanty? Why then are championing for someone to live in ramshackle dwellings that constitute hazards, are unregulated and are at a high risk of total destruction with resultant loss of lives if a marine natural disaster occurs? If you want to champion something, champion a better way of doing things instead of asking that things continue to be done in the terrible way they've always been done.

Yorubas wont protest against development lailai, its a trademark of IPOBS to agitate for useless reasons e.g biafra

My brother, I be benin guy but base in lag. I was in benin last Week. I can tell u that Edo dey learn wen it comes to demolition of house where Lagos dey

This is what is currently happening in Benin City, Edo State. It seems Edo State Government are copying from Lagos State.[/quote]

UfuomaUN:

He listed terrible points; the kind of points that that are raised by someone who either doesn't live in the state or is just being negative for negativity sake.

For the traffic; asides the fact that big, busy cities always have to contend with major traffic situations, the most serious traffic grid lock right now is caused by the tankers that regularly ply (and park on) Funsho Williams avenue on their way to A papa. Why are they there? Because the Federal government is currently working on their usual route (Oshodi-Apapa express) so for now, the trucks and trailers and tankers and containers have to use Funsho Williams avenue as an alternative route and anyone who lives in Lagos knows that is the state's central route for movement between the mainland and island (with third mainland bridge being the one alternative). These tankers and containers are even damaging the roads and bridges because they weren't made for taking those kind of weight regularly. If you should blame anyone, blame the Federal government for only now deciding to fix Oshodi-Apapa expressway.

Electricity? Are you kidding me? Since when has it been the state government's responsibility to generate electricity for the citizens of the state. Even if Am bode decides to start working on power generation for the people of Lagos state, you think it is something that would take thirty minutes to complete? The funny thing is that if he does, people like you would be the first to wail that it is a white elephant project.

Waste disposal? Don't even get me started on that one. Recently the state government came up with a streamlined waste disposal/management system. You know what people did? They kicked against it, calling it another way for government to take money from them. People have been trying to game waste disposal systems in this state since I can remember. The Lagos state government recently placed dumpsters on busy roads and at busy intersections around the state and you know what people are doing? They are walking long distances to dump their refuse in those dumpsters just to avoid paying for waste management to evacuate their refuse. It is not uncommon now to see someone dragging large sacks of refuse down a long stretch of road just so he/she can dump it in the state dumpsters for free and avoid paying for waste disposal. How is this the state government's fault? One just can't win with you guys!

Your point on infrastructures is so empty of substance that I won't even bother refuting it.

On education and health, I certainly agree that more needs to be done by the state government in both sectors. However, I also realize that improving current systems and infrastructure costs money and it's not like education and health services provision are the state government's only responsibilities. Regardless, I would charge the state government to make both high priorities as they are important to the life and well-being of the citizens of Lagos state.

being of the citizens of Lagos state.

Your point well noted.

But i strongly disagree with you on the issues of traffic and electricity.

Am a lagosian av live all my life in lagos and more than 3 decade now so i don't know where u came with ur myopic imagination that i don't live in lagos.

On traffic is either you dont go to work in the morning and go back home daily.i can authoritatively tell you that traffic is one of the main problem in lagos,all roads i mean all,from mainland to island i understand lagos is over populated and will soon sink if care is not taken because of populations,i live in abule egba and i work in apapa so dont tell me all those Gibberish i know what i go through daily,you can't even go with your car and not just apapa alone.

during fashola there was sanity in lagos,danfo driver dare not pick commuters on the highway,what do u have know,toothless LASMA officials that are not motivated to work because there is no sanctions and laws to enforce.


On Electricity don't kid yourself,you know our politician if they want to make amenities ready they can do it,thank God Apc is at the federal level,all the law is saying is Generate but some portions must be sent to the national grid,ambode should stop adding to the Environmental pollutions by buying Generators and use it to power the street light.There is nothing that stop lagos to generate its own electricity am sure you know what i mean and don't let us give them excuses for failure.

On refuse if the citizen are dumping refuse on the street whose fault is that,that is why there should be a policy that will send some people to jail and heavy fine,there are loads of community services that are waiting for offenders to be carried out as a means of punishment to offenders,Ambode is just playing political gimmick because he want to win the next elections.

And if you are not a paid Agent or political influencer dont u ever defend any politician cos Nigerian politician will always take care of themselves we thye Mekunu are the people that should fight for better life.

2019 IS AROUND THE CORNER,there will be loads of writing why some people should not be elected i'm gonna write wella,is time to take ou4r destiny into our hand enough of praying and calling on God for revival we will act this time.
