Typical bush african shanty town. See the imprints of poverty and third world status everywhere. When the media shows such pictures to the world, you start hearing nonsense about media bias. #shithholethings

Shout out to the Governor of Ogun state, Road expansion is currently ongoing, hence the Look

MARKETS SHUT DOWN IN ABEOKUTA IN HONOUR OF A LATE KING.

Markets in the city of Abeokuta today witness shut down throughout it’s length and breadth. This was done in honour of a late King,, Oba Halidu Laloko (MFR) the agura of Gbagura who joined the ancestors on Thursday, 12th of July, 2018.
It is worth noting that the tradition of Yorubaland is held in high esteem.

Abeokuta is currently undergoing massive Development and reconstructions hence the look
_
The area we took the picture from , road expansion is currently ongoing there hence the Muddy look due to the Red soil and co used in road construction..

Come and see Oke Ilewo, Panseke, And more like that ... ABK is beautiful

Don't judge a whole state based on a picture you see

*The above is a very graphic justification of the urgent need for Restructuring, at the very least!*
*DISTRIBUTE TO ALL FROM SOUTH-WEST, SOUTH-SOUTH & SOUTH-EAST NORTH CENTRAL ZONES OF NIGERIA* *WHO STILL THINK. CONSIDER THIS A NATIONAL EMERGENCY FOR THE SURVIVAL OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA!!!*
------------------------------------------------------

This thing have been explained to you many times, yet you refused to understand.

1) FG normally has no role in pre tertiary education. That is the function of LG sand States
2) The Unity schools are not meant as a means of bringing students from all parts of the country together, not a means of providing quality education.
3) For that purpose to work, cut off points cannot be the same for all states. p
For example, how will you feel if FIFA said the first 31 in the ranking at a certain month every 4 years with the host nation will be those that will play the world cup? Or is FIFA not looking for the best countries to play in the world cup?

As for Northerners being appointed judges, etc. Won't they be qualified before they are appointed? Won't a judge be qualified as a lawyer, be called to bar and fulfill other criteria before being appointed? Same for other positions. They appoint only qualified candidates.
Stop promoting division of this country.

Thank you

Men! Oba Halidu Laloko really stayed long on the throne. I'm from Gbagura & grew up there too (though parents & siblings lived in Lagos).

May the Oba rest well with him ancestors.

You're right my brother. Not all market were shutdown. Maybe just a percent of the entire markets. All of the above mentioned markets were open... Ranging from Sapon, Kuto, Isabo, Lafenwa, among others.... Just like 1% of the markets were actually under locked like I said.

You have no history, no impact and no future.

When you see Yorubas, you should keep quiet and blame your worthless ancestors for their foolishness and mediocrity.

construction stopped at the roundabout. From Adaton market to Obantoko to camp needs expansion badly, Lafenwa market to rounda is extremely terrible (work has been abandoned) and your MCM is wasting money on an overhead bridge at Kuto...

I used to like Amosun...but it seems he lost it recently
