Monkey village

dem dey chop Monkey for the village ni

Lolz may be oo

Thanks to all well-meaning Lagosians/Omoluabis that have commented so far. May God continue to strenghten us.
To the topic, the lgas cda have a big role to play in all these. They are appointed to ensure the development of their immediate envirnment, a role which they should know includes disallowing or fingering out shanties and illegal housing before they gathered up. That all these happen under their nose is a big question mark on if they are adequately aware of all their roles.
Its time Lagos stood up to wipe out the mess of the past era. Shanties and illegal structures are forbidden and anybody should only be a part of the decay at his and his properties detriment.
Kudos to Lagos on this. Lagos must be great by force.
Eko O ni baje o. Aa tunbo maa dara si ni.

Good development...

Lagosians deserve what they are getting now, I don't pity them at all.

candidtalk:
IPOBian, what is your business with Lagos to the extent you are throwing personal insults innapropriately ?

There is no genuine and well-meaning Lagosians who does not appreciate the damage unplanned and unapproved construction is doing to Lagos.

Most times people who put up or use these illegal constructions are given countless notices, over a long period of time, yet "they were never informed" is their standard response when the demolition team shows up.

Lagos should be supported always, not insulted, to do the right thing that benefits all users of the State regardless of whose Ox is gored.

It is a new Year. Some of you should look at yourselves and the many things you are doing wrong in your lives that I'll have a negative impact on your progress, that of your household and generations to come.

Upon all the demolishment the city still looks like a shithole.

candidtalk:
Oga tribalist IPOBian, there is no place for a divisive creature of hate like you here. Watch the video below to know those who live there.

Will this be allowed in any other modern city in the world? Lagos administrators are solely responsible for the mess Lagos is in.

In my opinion the "clean up" of Lagos should first tackle the deportation of worthless tribalist IPOBians like you back to your SE State of origin.

you call yourself candidtalk, does that mean you should open your mouth waaa as if danfo driver opens his danfo boot... Afonjamuslim you quoted does that name implies an ipob name?

SmartPolician:
Our governors need to understand that development transcends building only the infrastructure of the urban to impress people.

The rural areas must be given undivided attention to stem rural-to-urban migration. People must be encouraged to live in the villages.

Everyone shouldn't live in Lagos. Bridging the infrastructure gaps in rural communities will create opportunities in those localities and keep people in their villages.

Indeed.

IRAGBIJIan, what is your business with Lagos?

His business is, he's Yoruba and Yorubaland belongs to the Yorubas. Any dissatisfied person could hug a life transformer.

Exactly. Some are not doing their jobs or are clearly compromised by corruption. How do whole communities of shanty develop and remain in place over time?

Not possible where planning consent officers and government town planning officers do their job properly.

Welcome development, keep on inflicting hardship to them.
Apc till 2023

Which time monkey village leave Maza maza enter Opebi??

If you know you can not afford a standard living in Lagos pls go to hell or back to your village where your generation are from,don't come to Lagos State and hide inside one slum and think you live in Lagos,let embrace 21st century with decent living and approach.

Jaqenhghar:

It would look less of a shithole if relevant departments of Lagos States administration did their jobs efficiently and effectively.

Corruption is a big issue. The governor cannot do everything.

The name is deceptive though but I doubt if an omoluabi will fancy such an appellation cos Ile la nwo ka to s'omo l'oruko. There are some philosophical meanings attached to names

Solatium:
Government does not owe you that responsibilities,if they can't fit into the lowest ebb of the society,let them move back to where they can fit in

That's what you think. They are already on their lowest points.

hmmm. the banana island should be wary, for the monkeys, whose village has been demolished, shall migrate to where they will survive....

monkeys to banana community.

e go be. ✌

This is the undiluted truth some like to play ethnic and rich/poor social status politics with.

Much like the very difficult problem of trying to tell poor Nigerians to stop having far more kids than they can ever provide for or raise properly.

Truth is that not everyone should live or seek to live in Lagos. Same challenges exist worldwide and people respond pragmatically by looking at themselves first and doing the responsible thing pertaining to their personal situation.

I have a friend who has just moved from London, UK, to Birmingham which is over 100 miles from his former London home because he could not afford to live in London anymore once his wife and two kids came to join him from Nigeria. By making that responsible decision they now have a three bedroom family home whereas they would struggle to rent even a studio apartment in London for similar money.

Would a Nigerian living in Lagos take such a responsible decision? No. Many would rather live in illegal structures to then be blaming the "elitist" governor and his "government for the rich alone" policy. Nigeria is tiring ojare my brother. Happy new year.

You gave it back to him appropriately, but wouldst to God he knows it's an insult!

Thank you brother. I have lived in Lagos all my life and love the State. Of course others should love their States also and wish/work for her best interest.

Truth is that Lagos cannot and should not accommodate so many Nigerians. Over 20 million people cramped into the smallest State in Nigeria. It is unfeasible for Lagos to keep accepting unchecked influx of people into the State daily. Self-destructive in the long term for Lagos.

Lagos State should be decongested asap. With policies put in place to check uncontrolled migration into the State from all across Nigeria. I am not one of those Yorubas to foolishly blame non-Yorubas only.

In fact I see the problem of Lagos to be a problem of her own success and good administration in comparison to that of her fellow and surrounding Yoruba States.

I think other Governors of SW States should do more to develop their States so that people can remain in their State of origin once most of their needs are met in those States rather than head to Lagos to seek everything.

Na because of palliative

Foolishbuhari:
Most of those guys there, that's their village

That's quite true though. But in all and in all, it's for the growth of the place,twin,city and state too, we can't expect Lagos to be like New York without all these things taking place at the expense of some people though the government would certainly not be helping them,but I just hope that they would.

And as you know,also in the movie Bleep 2, with Ice Cube as Lead Actor, they made a quote by Jefferson Jackson that " The Tree of liberty will continually be refreshed with the blood of Patriots and Tyrants too " . Just pray to be lucy enough to be the enjoyer of the liberty and not the refresher. Hope you can relate.

[quote author=Ciscogod post=97634154]Monkey village is not home to anyone, if you stay at Opebi , you will understand,

It’s home for the underworld, youth goes there to get high on weed and hard drugs,

This is long overdue , kudos to lagos state govt

the ipob people won't believe u all they are interested on is bad news from other region. frustrated people with black heart

Eyaaaa I sabi that zanga. RIP to the hood

DamnnNiggarr:
Yorubas have serious mental problem.
So everyone that attacks you is automatically an Ipob ni??

Clearly we can see you're IPOBian also with the insult against Yorubas. Accepted, we have "serious mental problems".

Yet some of us still sabi una well well. We know the antics of you IPOBians. Go and read the past post of your IPOBian brother to see what kind of hateful character he is. I just pity Yorubas who don't know you people and your mission.

abegi! Make I hear word joor.
You're all good at finding the fault of another man, but turn a blind eye to what's happening under your nose.
I'm sure you're not new to NairaLand, and I'm also sure you have been seeing some of the derogatory post by your people against the Igbos??

YorubaPrince:


Perfectly said! They're usually the ones to start name calling and first to cry foul. Disgrace of a tribe and people. I dislike everything about them, I swear.

Monkey village in Opebi? Never heard of it and I live around Opebi fa

Do you know Agbaoku street, next to the old TFC opposite Chrisland? Monkey village is at the end of the estate. It was cordoned off last year so the ghetto inhabitants won't have access through the estate anymore. Majority of the artisans, street hawkers you see around Opebi and Allen and some of those Pekas girls live there.

The whole of Nigeria is monkey village, and Nigerians are the monkeys.

Foolishbuhari:

That's a lie. Monkey village is nobody's village abeg. I used to go there to smoke and chill in the past. 98% of the people there are immigrants.

It's not only new arrivals in Lagos that live in shanties. Some people fell on hard times, others are rendered homeless by circumstance and move to these slums because it's all they can afford.

One despatch rider in a place I used to work lived in a shanty, was going to polytechnic at weekends and had a wife and child. He eventually took office loan and got a room in a better hood near satellite town
