Indeed, Lagos state has come a long way.

These pictures below are evidences of how the state has metamorphosed over the decades.

The photos also shows how organized Lagos was before the population exploded.

See the photos and appreciate the orderliness of Lagos in the time past.

These people you mentioned are merely earlier iterations of the same flawed human species. They're not the problem per se. The flawed human species of 'Nigerians' is the problem. Kill all of them and a worse set of idiots would do even worse than them. You'd have to kill all Nigerians and anything with Nigerian blood for Nigeria to get better. Then, 'Nigeria' as a geographical space would be populated by a different species of humans that would decide what they want to be known as.

Blacks are generally bleeped up, but Nigerians are an especially useless segment of the beleaguered black race.
