shut up , why is Lagos congested with flat headed beings trooping in everyday as if their region is a war zone, failed federal government kept major part of the country in mess that non of you keen men can make a living in your state hence the invasion of your kinds in Lagos. There is no bridges to sleep in poto republic self . it takes months to create but minutes to destroy, but you looters want Us back to the days of reckless spending and want 16years of destruction fixed in 3years.
God will manage your life like Buhari is managing Nigeria and God will fight your enemies like Buhari is fighting corruption. If you rant finish, Lagos belongs to all Nigeria.

In Lagos
We have millions with very unfortunate stories as theirs
But instead of them to wallow in self-pity as theirs
They picked themselves up and hustled
We have folks from Niger that push trucks with water
They sell, make money, feed themselves and some can even afford to rent apartments or even work as gateman later in the day
We have folks from the north
All over lagos riding motorcycles for living
Most of them even have children and can even afford to pay rents
We have folks from the east that learn one trade or the other after few years of learning
Their boss gives them a mini shop even give them apartments
We also have the yorubas that learn hand work
E.g mechanics tailoring etc and are making waves such that they can afford apartments
So these one should go and find something doing to help themselves
Abi who asked them to leave their houses without proper planning for accommodation

So does it mean they can't find face me I face you apartment in Lagos, I pray help comes their way, this is not a matter of Buhari, do you know some people are also smiling to the bank everyday under this regime but some people won't notice that, any little problem they shout Buhari, Buhari can't provide the whole jobs for Nigerians.

You are worst than Buhari. Why hasn't saint APC prosecute the looters?
Kiss the truth bro and stop supporting thieves. I don't support APC neither do I support PDP. These parties are bird of the same feathers. Join the team to support young blood with vision. People that value education not thieves using the same campaign slogan during election campaign.

RTSC:
Unemployment there is 3%, unemployment here is 27% .

That says it all.

I know a lot of you like suffering and smiling, but some of us are still sane.

If the west left you alone, your standard of living would be so poor even an alley rat would be proud.

The reason why you still have some small governance in Nigeria, is because white people are shaming your leaders to do something.

If they left you alone, your useless leaders would eat you to the bare bones.

Be careful what you wish for.
As much as I don't condone the atrocities committed by our leaders present and past..

Lets also call a spade a spade....
And
Let's assess the situation in context..


My grouse is....
The West is so keen to media-shame the developing world but happy to hobnob with the very same corrupt leaders, siphoning away the natural resources and slap on restrictions supported by laws created and enforced for their protection at an opportune date ...

I call it 2-faced moral B..sh..t.




After all only a few years ago, an ex-prime minister once said happiness was not exclusively linked to wealth creation but was an interplay of several factors.
This was despite a deterioration in child and adult poverty, increasing homelessness amongst other indices.

Stats are all numbers at the end of the day.
3% unemployment based on ILO definition which suggests a benchmark of working a few hours a week - - - - - totally laughable!!

Gig economy has taken over with increasing poverty...

You ask me if I want that sort of gigging here.... Naa don't want to see that in Ngr.

Some idiot are quoting me and saying thrash.
Fact check; has Apc not been ruling Lagos for over 16 years+.
What about their Aso Rock, meeehhh
At this time in 2014, a bag of rice was N7,000 but the same bag of rice is over N20, 000 now while other food items are also beyond the reach of ordinary Nigerians.”



“Nigerians will never forget a President who met petrol at N86.50 per litre and increased it to N145 within one year and destroyed the economy of the country to the extent that dollar that exchanged for N197 to N1 is now over N360.
When will most you guys get sense? by 98/99 can you tell us the price of rice and petrol??
someone said he has been living under the bridge for 14 years, yet you ignored who was in poser the and mentioned Buhari. .. ike nsi

Guys don’t fall for this Scam.

BBC should go and do a documentary on Market Street SanFrancisco on the numerous amount of homeless people living right next to the mall and luxury Apartment. BBC should also visit Oakland and other areas in Silicon Valley where homeslessnes seems normal.

Most recently some tech company leaders decided to sleep on the street in support of the homeless because the case is pretty alarming.

BBC should simply go back to UK and do a documentary on their lives. Come to think of it. It’s not their fault, When NTA is being run by some dimwit, shouldn’t they send reporters to London to do a similar documentary. This propaganda of it has to be white to be right must stop!

My people hustle continue and don’t let these Oyinbo people make us feel there is something wrong with us because we have homeless people. Na all of us get shit for yansh.

NIGERIANS ARE TOO FAKE AND IDIOTIC. IMAGINE THEIR REACTIONS ON TWITTER, AS IF THIS IS NOT A USUAL SIGHT IN THE COUNTRY. SOME ARE ASKING FOR WAYS TO REACH THOSE IN THE VIDEO (TO APPEAR EMPATHETIC PUBLICLY) AS IF THERE AREN'T MANY OTHERS ESPECIALLY CHILDREN AROUND THE STREETS AND OPEN PLACES.
CONFUSED DELUSIONAL HYPOCRITES.
Walahi as I was reading their comments I was thinking they were Nigerians living abroad who are not used to the situations in the country.

I am not a supporter of APC neither do I belong to any political parties. It is not only in Nigeria that people sleep outside or under the bridge. Go to Johannesburg and other capitals city all over the world. BBC or what did they call themselves always like to paint Nigeria red. Anything that happened to nigeria is always exagerat ed by them. I had visited several capital city including so called London, a lot of people sleep under the bridge.There are a lot of vagrant people that sleep outside in Manchester city ,Newcastle and Liverpool. Why can they do documentary on their country first.They like to disgrace African countries and protect their countries.

Economy is growing and booming

Tot you wanted to make sense, don't know you're just a loud mouth. Buhari wasn't mention. So you can kindly tell us how much was fuel and rice by 98/99. Mr sense
Can you compare the cost of living then and now.
You think you've the monopoly to throw insults
People do sleep under the bridge in other countries of the world, but even if they do, their country isn't yet the poverty capital. quote author=longerthroat post=74060948]

When will most you guys get sense? by 98/99 can you tell us the price of rice and petrol??
