How does Lagos state government hope to sustain this?

Are they going to keep going around Lagos state anytime there are clouds in the sky or when the rains begin to fall to catch offenders?

Do they have the manpower to cover the entire state?

Is this something the next government will be able to carry on?

All this running on a treadmill and pretending to be running in a Marathon by Lagos state government is not the best.

. Any house that has excessive dirt and garbage inside their gutters must be fined. That's a good way for the local and state government to generate money

. Somewhere in ponle bus stop gowon estate egbeda is a typical example. Its shows that some humans are pure animals when no one is watching. Forget all the church u see around, forget all the education they hype. They choose to remain stubbornly wicked ,crude and stupid. I have always prayed for an enforcement against this

My wife is frustrating my life I don't just know what to do.. I feel like killing myself just to end this marriage, staying with her is like living with Satan...

Everyday trouble for 10yrs now..I am tired...she has refused to work or do anything, she doesn't respect or regard me, she goes out and comes back at will without telling me where and why

She is always insulting me while looking for a fight with either bottle, hammer or the kitchen knife of which I have endured all these years because of our children, her pastor told me 8yrs ago that she will change but she is becoming more aggressive which has prompted me to cry out.

What should I do? I need urgent advice

Those 2(in bold), which are subset of math 55 is about the hardest and most dreaded math course in the world !!
...a course that would require u to produce more than 20 pages for just a single problem set !!
U can watch a full movie in the time it will take u to even manage to solve the simplest math 55 problem !!
Some of the facts about the course will shock u to the nerves !!

https://bestlifeonline.com/math-55-harvard/

The course alone has been described by many as a really very tedious and difficult full time job PLUS MUCH MORE !!

I only made reference to it to tell that 'olodo guy' that even the best A grade in AEM(advanced Engineering maths) is nothing, let alone that from sec/college.(wasce)
Success is NEVER measured or determined by those stuffs.

Bill gates who took and passed the said course(math 55) @ Havard was a school drop out @ some point... but later grew to become the richest man in the world !!

@meshpips should learn to use his sixth-sense.
...there is need to always imbibe SIMPLICITY and HUMILITY albeit with COMMITMENT in our day to day life.
While the 1st 2 proceeds CREATIVITY, the last when backed with FOCUS has the sure link to PRODUCTIVITY.
...that's how people EXCEL, and NEVER by been thrasonical !!

The conventional spelling is “Okra”

“Okro” is wrong.

Medically, okra is not recommended for men because the seeds contains a toxic substance called “gossypol” which decreases male fertility by reducing sperm count and sperm motility.

In countries like China, men purposely consumes okra to reduce fertili

Majority of male contraceptives contains the substance gossypol, which is the main constituent of okra seeds

. Well the same medicals that say okra contains vitamin k and stuffs

It's not excise duties that killed Guinness. It was their shift in strategy to premium spirits from value and premium beer. That strategy eroded their market share. ABinBev now came and finished them with competition. Excise duties just nailed the coffin.

. We keep repeating the same mistake over and over: dialect should not be equated with language or tribe. These subdivisions only leads to confusion. Igbo is Igbo, Hausa is Hausa any where, Yoruba is Yoruba no mater if its ijebu dialect or ONDO dialect or is spoken in Benin republic or Togo. Just term in Yoruba simple. The izon u mentioned for bayelsa and ijaw are related. In delta. Agbor. And ukwauni are just subdialects. They are not tribes Or Far apart languages from each other and they share common ancestry. Mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong still identify with the Chinese. Even though dialect differs
