Predictable!!!
The result of 14 years of neglecting the education of children in Lagos under Tinubu & Fashola.
In the SEEMING rush to become "1st world" the ACN administrations have left out the BASIC ingredient- HUMAN resources!

Omo ti a ko ba ko ni o ma gbe ile ti a ko ta- The unbuilt (untrained) child will seel the houses that we are building

It is noteworthy that in Britain where a number of ACN supporters here on NL are resident, education is free and COMPULSORY for children aged 5-16.
Even here in the Western region, education was free and COMPULSORY for primary school kids under Awo's Premiership (1954-1960) while the UPN governors for four years (1979-1983) expanded the free schools PLUS TEXTBOOKS to secondary school level in Lagos, Ogun, Osun, (old) Bendel & Ondo states.

What indices did you use to come to such a conclussion.

Territory: Lagos, Nigeria
Criminal activities: Drug trafficking, extortion, murder, inciting riots
Number of members: 35,000

Over the past three decades, Nigeria’s Area Boys have gone from young kids committing crimes of opportunity to a massive if still largely unorganized street gang responsible for acts of extortion and murder.
Local authorities, who have made a number of failed humanitarian attempts to eliminate the gang, tie the rising level of violence to a depressed economy, high unemployment and the increasing prevalence of drug addiction among the gang’s members.

Read the OP again. It clearly says LAGOS.
What else do you need
Instead of doing aje egbodo nwa eni kunra by roping all south west to your Lagos palava just ask Fashola to address the problem of Area boys arising out of his neglect of education for children all these years. He has less than two years remaining for him to make amends!!!
Why is that so difficult for you to do

A,Gbe and Ero.

A means we,GBE means to carry while ERO means crowd or gathering. So AGBERO means "WE CARRY PASSENGERS ". Note that Passengers can also mean crowd of people waiting at the bus stop or car park for bus or cabs.

If you wanna identify who an Agbero is, they always wear yellow uniform and shout OWO DA to bus drivers.

While it is true that every great metropolis has its own underworld of street gangs, who control a section of the informal economy, I am not sure the ragtag of 'area boy' outfits in Nigeria have achieve anything near the level of infamy mentioned in that article.

ShymmexLion: Who are "area boys?"

The name alone sounds like hungry riff-raff more than anything else. I guess they had to put them on list show to follow the same story-line about Africa being hell on earth.

Can these they hack it against vicious shooters? And how many of them run around with guns bigger than lil bow wow? undecided
