All over the world showcase their good part of their cities. there are lot of slums, dirty places and some nasty things you will never imagined. go to YouTube, you will see a lot of videos of dirtiest/ slums in america, europe and other countries.

when you see some good things just appreciate it and ask for more not just complain of everything.

I am not the type to complain and I am a thoroughbred Lagosian. But I see posts like this as encouraging politicians who haven't even done anything. Our environment is getting worse by the day, I won't say because of showcase we should now keep deceiving ourselves.

Lagos is getting too dangerous for human existence... Life expectancy in Lagos may keep plunging if things keep getting choked up like this.

What we are getting is way below Lagos' IGR and the nation's GDP. The world has left Nigeria behind!!!

anonimi:


Most parts ( > 80%) is a terrible hellhole.
Even the posh areas on the island are eyesores that don’t nearly compare to a lower middle class area of the places where the looters leaders of Lagos schooled abroad.

I agree that's y I asked d guy that question. If u see d roads in Ikorodu, from igbogbo to ofin to gberigbe, u will weep

candidtalk:


They want the State more than anything else in the world but cannot possess her. Lagos politics and administration is fully in the hands of Yorubas and this will be causing terrible pain for many Igbo.

If you know how the covetuous mind of Igbos work you will understand that many are in severe pain as they feel Lagos should have an Igbo Governor and should be under their control because of all they have "invested" in the State.

But how does all this u said resolve d issue of d deplorable state of roads& public infrastructure in Lagos?

BreconHills:


Absolutely. Lagos is the only cosmopolitan city in Nigeria where talent can thrive beyond gender and tribe. It is a magnet for success oriented people. Business activities naturally grow the tax base. No magic to it. No other0 part of Nigeria has these characteristics

U are right. But as with d generality of Nigeria, a fat tax base isn't d issue. D issue is were did all d money go?

candidtalk:


These are the things they should be worrying about.

Despite their home State and region being in severe trouble and disintegrating under hideous misrule they will still wake daily to shout Lagos, Tinubu and Sanwo Olu rather than tackling Ikpeazu, Obiano and other misrulers they parade as "political leaders"

They have always been a delusional people.


It is a matter of time,Igbos will dominate everybody.....Zik

Biafra has the best army in Africa .....Ojukwu

Burruchaga71:
Because majority of Igbos are in overseas, and they have seen developments... Lagos is a slum

Majority of Ibos are overseas? I didn't know this.

It is all about management,prudence and great positive foresight.The managers of Lagos are not perfect or saints but they are a shoulder above their peers.Tinubu,as much as he is corrupt,according to his accusers,is a topnotch planner.The main growth of Lagos has been Alpha Beta....Anónimi..sworn enemy of APC,Tinubu...will not like this but that is the naked truth.


It is not population...Nigeria has a larger population bit it is almost edad with bad leadership.

A lot of Lagosians still want better democracy dividends from APC in Lagos.They should utilize the funds Lagos males maximally.

Most of the funds Lagos rakes in is largely made posible by Alpha Beta.

A lot of unbiased people know good things when they see one
Abía,Imo state,Akwa Ibom,Sokoto etc.
Esu ta mo lojo to tipe.....
May God remove corruption from our politicians' blood.

Did alpha beta put lagos in fantastic debts too

Propaganda... These pictures aren't reflective of the true state of Lagos. Lagos has become the dirtiest and most polluted state in Nigeria.
All these roads are always dirty and traffic-ridden.

Why don't you show pictures of agberos and danfo drivers fighting on the road or keke napap with bumper guards scratching cars on the daily... Show us the drainages blocked with dirt with no LAWMA staff clearing them for months... Flooding nko?

Show us Ikotun, Iyana Ipaja, Ikeja Along, Agege, Mushin, etc. They represent 80% of the real Lagos!

don't mind them. Paid hype.

That's d expectation! Lagos go into power generation naaaa

Seun, I'd like to formally request the ability to block users on this platform.

The bigotry is getting out of hand and I'd rather not see nor partake of it. Happy Sunday if you be church person and good morning if you be atheist.

no mind seun.his inability to tackle bigotry by his Yoruba fellows will soon bring negative attention to this grt platform and is given some of us to question his personality.afonja critism against ibos as gone beyond constructive criticism on ibos greedy Nd style of biz.is now becoming a hate/bigotry.If ibo show Enugu that i have be there and the place is ok with major standard roads with clean drainage.u see afonja hating.for no reason.but when it comes to Lagos own u see them trying to belittle other regions.NOW I KNW WHY MEDIA HOUSE DNT MAKE REFERENCE.TO NAIRALAND

I laugh when I see comments like yours telling people that "A simple google about Nigeria civil war should enlighten you"...

If you truly had knowledge and information about the civil war then please fee free to debunk my quotes with facts or your version of "the right information"...

i will not spoon feed you sir. If you can't sought out elders who were around during the time or do google search then carry on with this mind set of yours. The internet is there for our learning. I will advise you that before you talk about anything that concerns a group of people, do well to research so you don't give out wrong information.

if you can't give me the right information then you're ignorant and do not know what or where to get the right information..

the one on google is also someone's "quote" and "opinion".. it does not mean its the right information.

I don't need elders to tell me what I have researched and observed.

saajus:
First, that's not a true picture of the real Lagos. Lagos Island that many people celebrate occupy less than 20% of Lagosians. What happen to 80% living at the popular side where there is no good infrastructure.

Second, if you take away FG investment and infrastructure built when Lagos was Capital of Ng and also remove Jakande's work, you will discover Tinubu and his boys have not added much.

The Abuja you all like saying is better than Lagos, remove AMAC and tell me where else is good. Are majority of the people not living outside of AMAC?

This is not racism or tribalism.

This is observing the social behavior of an ethnic nation and taking note. You don't even understand what racism is.

na wa for you sha. I did not say this is racism. I said this is how it was propagated. By passing such information. Now i understand your state of reasoning. Peace out

codemaniacs:


what truth is been buried

Yorubas are meant to be pro-yoruba, Igbos are meant to be pro-igbos e.t.c without interfering in each others politics, developments, education e.t.c..

igbos will have wiped out most of the yoruba nation during the civil war if their attack was successful and had gone beyond Ore..

so protecting ethnic interests especially within that ethnic group's region became very important after the civil war... the problem is most Yorubas don't even know that the rest of Nigeria does not mean well for the yorubas and yoruba nation.

during the war proper, the two sides of the divide were fighting to wipe each other, that's why war is an I'll wind that blows no good, but u said the Igbo started the war... I guess you read it from a book

I tell u bro

Zero shame. With all the IGR this is all it can deliver ba

SmartPolician:


Sangotedo is a fine place.

From Abraham Adesanya down to Lakowa, new estates keep springing up every now and then.

New estate 80% of lagosians can not avoid? mtcheew!

OVB123:
New estate 80% of lagosians can not avoid? mtcheew!

Everyone cannot live in Lagos.

The state is already full

95% of those who live in Lagos are visitors.

If they cannot afford it, they should return to their states of origin

After all, agriculture is the new oil.

MiddleDimension:


Not even Abuja has that characteristic

Yes.

Abuja is like Washington - activities centre around politics and the businesses there are essentially catering for the wealthy - it lacks the competitiveness of Lagos and lack of competitiveness stiffles creativity and dynamism.

candidtalk:


Not true. Do you know the recurrent expenditure of Lagos that has been swelled ridiculously because of her huge population primarily due to influx of immigrants from all corners of Nigeria?

Please tell me how the influx of people stops any govt from fixing roads. Can you tell us the recurrent expenditure of Lagos and how it is stopping them from fixing inner roads? This are senseless and daft excuses some of you make for your useless leaders. The same state that always claim to generate huge IGRs every year cannot fix inner roads. Omo some of una like to suffer.

Very nonsensical.... Show us badagry, Mushin, ikorodu....

Please show us from mile 2 to Badagry road.... Let's complete the milestone.....

Kingbuhari:
you will end up in Ogun village

What a bastard.
