Was dashing out of Lagos to meetup a 4:00 p.m speaking engagement at Osogbo - Osun State.

At about 11a.m, with the early morning rain still pouring down, i negotiated Osborne/Foreshore Road-Ikoyi inward 3rd mainland Bridge. Suddenly my car tyres hit some metal shrapnel hidden underneath the flood on the lanes. A little movement towards Adeniji/Adekunle and Gboa!! Two tyres went FLAT.

Getting stuck on #3MB is not an experience you wish for. Before i could blink - #ALAYE's (3 Area Boys/Street Urchins) from Adeniji Adele were already jogging towards me.

They started demanding #OwoILe. 20K!!!!!!.....I'm like - can you sight any ATM machine in the car? Trust the Area Boy instinct in an average Lagosian, i started wording them. They started getting unruly and i was calculating my next moves incase they try getting physical. Their chairmen were calling from under the bridge for updates and they were like....Bobo yi o cooperate o (He's not cooperating o). Network was horrible and when my phone could find a  bar, i quickly called my wife to call #LASEMA ( @lasemasocial )and my mechanic to get tyres and meet me up.

In less than 5 minutes  and i'm not kidding, this #LASEMA Agent - MR OWOLABI OLAWALE JUBRIL rode in on his bike. He already envisaged the situation and notified a Government Patrol convoy on his way coming. At their arrival ALL THE BOYS TOOK TO THEIR HEELS.

He took charge - Setup Cone barriers on the road to condone off other motorist in the rain till my mechanic joined me, approximately in about an hour.

After we were done, i requested to give him some cash as appreciation, HE DECLINED. Requested for his account details - HE DECLINED. Just said I AM DOING MY JOB. He only permitted me to take his pictures and i codedly snapped his bike plate number. I was not only impressed, I was DAZED.
This post is to celebrate MR OWOLABI OLAWALE JUBRIL (Bike Number -  LRU- 008 LA) for being such a RARE Nigerian and to LASEMA (@lasemasocial ) for such amazing, timely and Speedy response.
You only get to experience such social service abroad but right here in @akinwunmiambode 's LAGOS, it is HAPPENING.
SHOUT OUT TO EVERY SOCIAL WORKER OUT THERE. #May29th #DemocracyDay

LRU

Kudos to him and the Lagos state govt. But much more important is the need to curb the menace of area boys who harras innocent people daily in the state

Are u sure this happened in nigeria?

I Think Lagos is Ahead Of NIGERIA.

1) Something needs to be done about the bumps and potholes on Osborne Road.

2) Kudos to LRU & RRS riders.

Do mind those lazy Nigerian youth that just wanna extort. Its not as if they wanna help u. The land of the afonjas. Instead of them to help they prefer to oppress

That guy deserves a medal, award and a reward. This thing happened in Nigeria. I wish sars can be the same. You are supposed to feel safe been around the police but in Nigeria its the other way around

Lazy "Owo mi da" youths.

Honestly i'm impressed so far with the way Lagos is working. It would improve even more without partisanship.

iojedmkl

Ok

That is why Ambode will get my vote for second term plus banning blood sucking VIOs from Lagos roads

DOESN'T MEAN HE'S A SAINT!!! WERE U IN BLACK PANTHER?

Good gesture...

If every state was like Lagos you think people won't be taking visa to live in naija. God bless Tinubu. And I pay God punish Obj for doing nothing for Ogun state despite spending over a decade in power. That man is a bastard

Nice one @ OP
kudos to the LRU Mr Owolabi
More power to Ambode's elbow
More wisdom to lagosians
More jail term for those street urchins when caught

Good report about this outfit. Really impressive.

Lagos is on another level.

When the right people are employed to man sensitive positions, you get a working system.

The miscreants who wanted to extort him are streets
urchins. The LRU official who helped him are Yorubas.

Meanwhile, in the cave where you were downloaded from, we all know how your flatheaded brothers demand 'marching ground' from anything that lands there even if it's a bird.

Meanwhile, look at those bikes. Mention a single state in your potopoto region that has a single one. Even the patrol cars used by policemen in Lagos are good enough to snatch the wife of a local government chairman in your backward state.

When OBJ ruled during the military era, he had only one project in Ogun State. That was a bridge which granted him easy access to his house. As civilian president, he didn't have a single project in Ogun State.

The Sango bridge was started by Gbenga Daniel despite the fact that it's on a federal road but was abandon. As Speaker of the FHR, Dimeji Bankole used FERMA to complete the bridge.

On the day the bridge was to be commissioned, Ogun State Government was to commission it by 12 noon. Dimeji Bankole countered them that he was to commission it as he completed it. Guess what OBJ did, he came quietly to the place by 10am and commissioned the bridge before Gbenga Daniel and Dimeji Bankole got there.

Lagos should break away from Nigeria abeg, we are holding that state back

How I wish every Nigerian can do their jobs this diligently. Good job Mr Owolabi.

OK na

Great News tho it's soooo unNigerian....
God Bless AMBODE
God Bless Lru
God Bless Lagos State

Haha my former colleague. Nice guy

I think LRU is very innovative and doing a great job in lagos.

These LRU guys are the best thing to happen to Lagosians .. They are swift and sharp , especially on tht 3rd mainland bridge axis

Okay
