One thing I like about Fashola is that he knows how to win the crowd. His humility is a selling point. That besides, Lagos is still a chaotic place to live in. People are yet to comply with the policies being issued. We now pay for public services. The guy is just too smart. 1 Like |

mincuu: The keke is not passing any bridge. U re not familiar wt the place as well. I can't recollect the name of the street but tht police headquarters in Obalende is on tht street. There is an Access bank & a GTB on tht same road. U turn at the first turning to the left & it will take u straight to Onikan roundabout. |

Living in Lagos poses a lot of challenges for average man. Whenever there is regular supply of electricity in the country many millions of people would move back to their villages from Lagos. |

All because he banned okada men.. Make up in a moderation and not excessive. Get use to good practice and stay away from lawlessness, Qeue is a practice but nigerians are use to pushing and sogorin, whenever I go to First bank in Nigeria, people rush like flies over poo poo as well as the Bank staff doing their own thing without full concentration, no manners. Qeue to live a simple life my sister. |

The crime and the noise and the filth and the crowded living and the nasty housing and the noise of the planes and the streets and the traffic and the corruption and the sewage and the bribes and the lack of public transportation. Besides all that, Lagos is fine. |
Re: Is LAGOS Bearable For An Average Man Nowadays? by hardbody: 8:47pm On Nov 13, 2013 |
Lagos is still more manageable than some states Opportunities abound, housing is fairly OK, foodis pay as you go and you can generally survive on N100k if u want to live like a human specie. However there is still a lot to be done to make this city a dream abode. 1 Like |

Venchy: Your story about first bank means u haven't been around for aeons. There are no queues in any banks except maybe wema and union and those are not banks in my estimation. |

All these people that makes internet analysis self don tire me. Let's just agree that most popular routes are still being plied by either keke or danfo. For your information, there are definitely two kinds of Lagos, one for the elites and one for the common man, and these two worlds never mix. They are like 'okun' and 'osa'. Come to Idumota where you will see tall skyscrapers not like any you come across in Abuja, but in this same place, you can buy singlets for just #150. Even the Makoko that is a slum has it's elitist avenue. So I don't know if perhaps, the common man is crossing his boundary lately. If you feel buses are becoming to expensive, get a bicycle like people in civilized cities around the world. It's good to reduce our carbon footprints anyway! |

To enjoy a stress less life in Lagos, you need to have the following: 1. Live in lekki phase 1 environs, Ikoyi and Vi 2. Work in lekki phase1 environs, ikoyi and Vi 3. Have vehicles that are in good condition for yourself and family members 4. Ensure u have no business going to the mainland except you need to go to the Airport and that should be at the right timing( less traffic hours). Lagos is a city with a very dense population, but unfortunately it does not have the required infrastructure to make life comfortable for the residence and vistors. The road network is very poor The roads are poor with so many pot holes to avoid. Very bad drainage system Narrow roads in major areas e.g lagos island to victoria island via bonny camp. The alternative means of transportation like the water ways and railway do not exist in full scale. Brt bus/lagbus are not sufficient to cover all routes and the bad roads affects its performance and efficiency. Other governors need to development and create jobs in their respective states to help decongest Lagos. |

Milito:Well my mum came to ph for the 1st time and said ph reminded her of lagos of the 1990's. Same drive, same energy, but no organization. Brodaly accommodation in ph is expensive o. A self contain In that dreaded Aluu in port harcourt can be gotten for100,000 to 130,000 a year (yes o that dreaded aluu, which is a student area sef). In town is not too good either. J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊τ̲̣̣̥ put your mind for a minimum of 250,000 (in a slightly decent area) to 300, 400, 500k (all depending on the particular area you choose). Final advice will be for you to get a place close 2 work because you don't know hold up till you get to ph. The drivers in lag are matured. Sometimes you can even stick out ur hand and beg a danfo, and he might let you in the lane, Hell ave seen folks J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊τ̲̣̣̥ flash their head lamps here, and that's enough for another driver to let you into the lane...try that shi*t in ph and dey will almost jam your hand and your head lamp together ! My honest opinion is that if your being sent 2 ph, then a raise wouldn't be a bad idea (except if your coy is an oil company, then nothing do you boss!) ![]() 1 Like |

chess guru: Thank u so much for the Port Harcourt info. I appreciate it Bro. chess guru: There are two spots in Obalende that Keke loads VI. They load at the junction of that road beside that big building with the sign post "Ministry of commnication" (to your left, if you are facing the building). They also load at the junction of a road that faces Access bank directly, few metres away from that police headquarters I mentioned earlier. Onikan is not Obalende, but not too far away. Few minutes drive from Obalende will take you to Onikan. |

With the land mass and the population of Lagos fighting each other, the worst is yet to come! Sorry, I don't get emotional when it comes to issues such as this, it is not about Fashola at all. It will be difficult for anybody to live in Lagos if some of those decisions are not taken. Lagos is pretty expensive and will not slow down, how can people live well with poor salaries from most organizations? The issue raised on this thread is part of the general problem in the country, the government need to ensure rapid development of the urban cities (it will be too much to add the rural areas). This way lots of folks can stay away from Lagos without missing anything. Or how many people living in Baton Rouge do you think has ever been to Los Angeles? I believe Fashola is only trying to deal with a messy situation for the overall good of those that can afford to live there. |

Stress reduce lifespan, so lagosians are liable to die young. BRT or BRF whatever u calld him, policies is to fostrate other tribes living in lagos, but in other way round yoruba are at receiving end the way i am seeing it, bc for igbos even if lagos turn to hell they wldnt live, bc the way gov increase tax is equally the way they increases their goods and services even their house rent bc they own many houses in lagos and also fashola will equally buy from them. |

omiobo: I was born in lagos. Though maybe stressful but it is a place where those were not born with silver spoon are now eating with silver spoon. Lagos moulds man into real man. Forget all negative statements you have heard about Lagos. Come to Lagos and change your destiny for life. Don't let anyone deceive,it maybe your canaan land as it has been for many. If you want to come,my advice for you;lagos is only city u will see person that made sales of 50k a day and spent it on drinks and women thesame day,and the persons capital is not upto 300k lmaooo. Apart from overcrowd and hell like stress there, Money dey there but na work and chop them dey practice, owambe .achievement is not in there dictionary. |
