This administration's tenure ends in May 2015 but the budget from Fashola for next year will cover January-December 2015, I do not speak for the Lagos State Government but ask anybody with reasonable knowledge of Lagos State, they will tell you that there are almost no new projects as the focus is to complete those that have been started.

It is sad for those living in Ejigbo but it seems projects around your LCDA in the old and humoungous Alimosho local government area carry more weight than those INSIDE it in the reckoning of government. For example, Isolo road from Ijegun passes through Ejigbo LCDA and looks like it will be completed before the end of 2014, Egbe Road also passes through Ejigbo LCDA, The Ajao Estate link bridge commissioned this year services mostly Ejigbo residents. It is not that government is not doing anything at all, it is just that the competing demands are high.

Lagos state needs to be granted special status and funding to address its numerous great challenges.

ednut1: moved to ejigbo in 1994, i no sabi who we offend o, the buknor road the bridge has been completed dis year since 1999 or 2000 work started , smh, and d at foolish LGA chairman won award for best chairman in Lagos smh . my parents still stay der. der cars don hear am. i left from ikotun today for oshodi 5.45am i got to oshodi 8 am. dat area is fuked. guess because no powerful politician lives der. ailegun road has been tarred. but dat was a shody job. it will soon collapse. smh

customized13: lolzzzz, its the nature of my job, I go for field inspection of billboards in those areas.

eaglechild: Chai!
OP please next time put"Viewer discretion is advised".

Eko oni ogbanje!

sandijey: To make matters worse all the local government chairmen don't even stay at Ikotun. They abandoned their houses. Most of them stay in lekki. The roads to their houses are not motorable. My friends house at abaranje. The bus stop is called customs street. She told me how local government people came to dig gutter. They told the community that they wanted to do the gutter and the road. You won't believe this ba$tards dug the gutters to go and sell the sand. They totally destroyed the road. They didn't do any gutter nor fix the road. In fact that is what they do in Ikotun right now.you would see big lorries packing the sand. All aided by the local government chairmen.


We need to start stoning this people. We cannot start from the top. If we can start from this local government chairmen they will sit up. We have to hold this people accountable. Every month they just wait for their share of the oil money and share amongst themselves. You need to go to local government offices and see what they do. Many of them don't even come to work. They only come end of the month. Share money and go. What is so hard in doing gutter and fixing the road. Omase o.

Will you be willing to accept your postulation in PDP governed states. Will you be willing to accept this from the government in the centre. Will you be willing to accept that Jonathan is rounding up or winding down ahead of 2015 and so cannot deliver. Will you be willing to lend an equitable hand and criticize all and sundry based on the kind of clear evidence you can see displayed without bias.

Oya do the right thing.

maclatunji:

funding? from who? in terms of loan or from federal government? anyway i dont want to excuse them for neglecting the citizens and not doing what is expected........most of these roads have been like this for over 7years running? and some were abandoned mid way.
i still believe that the present government owes the people.
Lagos state needs to be granted special status and funding to address its numerous great challenges.

ednut1:

Immacula8:
(f) construction and maintenance of roads, streets, street lightings, drains and other public highways, parks, gardens, open spaces, or such public facilities as may be prescribed from time to time by the House of Assembly of a State;
(g) naming of roads and streets and numbering of houses;

.

From point (f) above, the decision to embark on road construction and repairs lies entirely on the assembly; but the local government must take pictures such as the one posted above to them. May be by then they will listen.

Please can we find a means of getting these pictures to the state house of assembly as well?

maclatunji:

Everybody in Lagos wants the same thing resources are limited. The government needs money. Can it do better? Yes.

otiigba1: no wonder Ebola is every were in nigeria nigerians sure are a filty bunch, i bet people are pissing and defeacating on the streets of nigeria

debbie: please i choose to disagree with you,you are really making me believe you are supporting the governments lack of responsibility and good governance.How and why wont everybody want the same thing? didnt we all vote them into power? is there now classification in terms of providing the social amenities? Are people not paying tax? by fire or by force?will you tell that to the federal government when they fail you? please and please some people in [b]LAGOS STATE HAVE NOT FELT AN ATOM OF THE DIVIDENDS OF THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT.[/b]Don't be defensive and assume that all is alright.Some roads have never been worked on for ages,have you been to some parts of IJU?
Government needs money is no excuse for failure...when one is in power he should deliver and not make the masses feel cheated.
Meanwhile we blame the federal government for not doing heaven and earth for us,yet in these little ways we fail and give reasons for failure.......Al i know is that FASHOLA HAS TRIED BUT SOME PEOPLE HAVE NEVER SEEN THE IMPACT.SHIKINA

maclatunji:

Actually, everybody feels the government even an abdicratic one. However, I agree with you that there are many areas that have not been attended to. Governor Fashola will readily admit it, APC leaders in Ejigbo will readily admit, so it is not something that is unknown. Why is it so? I have tried to explain to you.

Okay, let us look at urban renewal from the time of Tinubu, it started from VI/Ikoyi/Lagos Island and then to Yaba/Surulere now moving to Mushin, the Isolo road is under repair even if people are suffering at the moment. From Mushin it will move to Isolo, then Ejigbo and so on. It is gradual and it takes time and money.

The local government Chairman might not be doing enough but trust me, even if wants to perform wonders, his budget will clip his wings!

I have a "little" insight about how leadership works even after all the corruption is removed from Nigeria, we still have huge developmental challenges especially Lagos the "city state" within Nigeria.

debbie: Thank you for siting all these...in sincerity will you say this same thing for the federal government without being biased? because it is so easy and quick to judge from afar....i am not in any way clamoring for support to the pdp led government.But what am trying to say is that,after giving all these explanations and those of them up there also give us theirs....wont you say they are doing nothing? despite the budget and allocations,whether huge or little? wont you say they have failed us? i know you wont.
well my own summary is that WHEN A LEADER DOES WELL APPLAUD HIM AND WHEN HE IS NOT DOING WELL SPEAK OUT,NO SENTIMENTS SHOULD BE ATTACHED

TamzyTamudo: The annoying part of the story is core ejigbo people doesn't care about this failures they still celebrate their so called oba and his associates,.

debbie: @Reference: you actually said my mind....same questions i asked earlier.truth is we must give credit when necessary and condemn what is not right.

maclatunji:


Yes we can condemn but that by itself will not fix the roads.
