Inevitably, Lagos has struggled long enough with elections, and it seems like no matter what we do, we always come back to the same position—where we left off. Since the 4th republic, Lagosians have always wanted Lagos to be a megacity, but it seems not enough effort is put into it.

Lagos has already met the population required to be a megacity. Lagos is Africa's population giant, ahead of Cairo, Kinshasa, and even Nairobi. It is, in fact, the fastest-growing economy in Africa and one of the fastest-growing economies in the world.

Despite these feats, it is surprising that Lagos is still a city of potholes, epilepsy power supply, poor school infrastructure, road accidents, and louts and touts. As a business hub, entrepreneurs should be able to go about their businesses freely in Lagos, even though there would be government regulations to protect the people's interests.

For some politicians who have put themselves at the top, Lagos is a cashing-out centre. They have turned it into a place where they enrich their pockets and the accounts of their unborn children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, while people who are alive are not living but just surviving. Many Lagosians wake up every day not knowing where their next meal will come from.

However, all these things need to change. A megacity should not just be "mega", it should be sustainable too. Building sustainable cities begin with employing proper town planning mechanisms. The effects of improper town planning mechanisms to ensure that a sustainable city is built

Hakeem Dickson has promised that for Lagos to be the megacity it claims to be, there is a need for sustainable town planning.

Ok

It makes sense to hear from the minority parties as well. Our oppressors have used their stolen wealth to silence many otherwise meaningful voices. If Nigerians think their life matters, we need to take the bull by the horn and retire every single corrupt politician in this country.

Yes o, Lagos is Rich but their money is going to one man's pocket. But don't worry Mr dickson because JANDOR is coming to rescue LAGOSIAN in 2023.
