^I understand what you are saying and wish I could help to deliver that. Unfortunately, I and the members of TeHN are so tied-up with work that we may not be able to deliver that the way you have suggested.

I hope those who requested account details have received it.

Really feeling tired at the moment- hard day. I thank those that are working behind the scenes to make all of this sustainable.

May God bless you all abundantly.

Tony Spike:

I have three more rare and amazing pictures of Lagos from the earliest time:

1. This is an aerial view of Lagos in 1929, note the open field, that is the modern site of TBS (or former race course) and again note the truncated land mass at the bottom of the picture, that should be undeveloped Victoria Island of 1929

2. Another view of Lagos around the same time

3. This is the Marina, Lagos-Island (I can't place the year since there are no cars in the background)

The 3rd pic, Onikan-Marina end, where my granny and her friends take strolls on week ends in the late 20s.
The place gave way to The motherless babies home Onikan. Nig Army Officers Mess took over, next door, is The Lagos Yacht Club.

It's a pity I never saw this beautiful Lagos!

I think Nigerian leaders can a learn a thing or two about maintenance from the Anglo-saxons

Future plans for Lagos
Population reduction, and it MUST be: 50% indigenous people; 30% other Yoruba tribes; and 20% to the other Nigeria tribes


Seconded!
Make everybody bear im papa name, then we know the true Lagosians and Yorubas.

Another set of Pictures:

1. This around the Lagos Cathedral, can anyone notice the sand (or dirts) on both sides of the roads? it appears the decay had started setting in. I can deduce that this may be some time in the 70's.

2. This is an unknown location in undeveloped Lagos

The 2nd pic is Mcnell Road Yaba.

Did you notice the cleanliness of the streets? Will this country ever going to be clean like that again, its a million dollar question
I don't think so, not with the influx of people arriving in Lagos daily.

Politics / Re: Residents Warn Against Uncontrollable Chaos Over Lekki Tolling - SaharaReporters by Sholaf(f): 2:23pm On Dec 12, 2011
djustice:

Not only have Lagosians ALWAYS PAID TAXES, whether civil servants or not, we are now paying more taxes, mostly duplicated and obnoxious, than we have ever paid before in the history of Nigeria, directly and indirectly.

We are entitled to certain services and infrastructure, based on just our taxes. If the Tinubu/Fashola government were not quite as profligate with our taxes as they've been for the last 12 years, with all their low-quality and grossly over-priced projects being used to suck money out of the treasury, we would have made much more progress. But alas, the hungry lion at Bourdillon must be fed, with his penchant for lubricating the judiciary, the civil service - federal and states, the police, INEC, federal ministers and just about every bribeable person, with free funds from Lagos Taxpayers.

All this is being done at the expense of Lagos Taxpayers. This is the same reason why The Palms, a high footfall venue frequented by taxpayers, is made a laborious place to visit by Tinubu's LCC simply because the owner would not give him a 50% share of the facility, just for approving his Physical Planning application. Same way he acquired 50% of Oriental Hotel, and the same reason he stymied the growth of the Lagos Free Trade Zone (different from the Lekki Free Zone, which is Bola Tinubu's project.) All these paid hacks screaming that we want anything for free in Lagos either don't live here or are part of the privileged ACN crew who simply feed on the rest of us and contribute nothing. They see Lagosians as cows to be milked, which is why they see nothing wrong with tolling an inner city road - first time this has been done ANYWHERE in the world. This is also the highest number of toll plazas per kilometre in the world (3 within 23km).

This is a record-breaking project for all the wrong reasons. It is the most expensive road expansion project in the world, pound for pound, dollar for dollar, which is highly befuddling, considering the relatively low cost of labor in Nigeria, compared to say, the USA, where similar projects, but with higher quality of construction and finish, generally cost about 50% of what is being charged here.

It is the worst designed road expansion project, viewed through the prism of ease-of-use, considering the number of bottlenecks introduced in the form of roundabouts and Toll Plazas.

It is also one of the world's least safe roads to live on now, on account of the ugly fence which makes it impossible to see when a robbery is going on behind the fence. The proliferation of roundabouts on a 3 carriageway freeway also make it quite unsafe to drive on.

In terms of quality, the undulation and bobbling on the road surface in the stretches of road already "completed" begs the question as to why this particular contractor, Hitech, was given the job. The answer lies in the very reason most are opposed to the entire idea of concessioning the road - high-level racketeeering, rapacious corruption, abuse of office and the hardship that all of these issues bring to bear on the lives of the people living within this sophisticated prison facility, referred to copiously in the "agreement" as the "concession area".

We will not pay, and we are ready to fight Fashola's government, Tinubu's thugs and federal forces, if they are collaborating, to a standstill, if need be. Let heavens fall. WE WILL NLOT PAY A KOBO!!

Agree!

Your husband has absolutely no respect or love for you and you shouldn't be trying to bring a child into this horrible marriage. He murders your first child and then continues to desecrate your body?!! Haba! Why are some women so battered and beaten that they become bingo dogs?! Don't you have a father or brother? Or are you an orphan that has never seen an ounce of affection? Why are you putting up with this rubbish? God forbid anyone of my sisters go through this horror.

Well said.
