this is cheap politics from anyone blaming fash or GEJ 4 dis, Fashola or Jonathan can't provide shelter for every one just because they r Nigerian or Lagosian. it a result of neglect by past administrations and the whole of the current admin. (Not just GEJ or BRF alone). This picture is very small low res .jpg picture that depicts another high res. picture (Nigerian factor) in details for those who choose to see. Nigerian wake up and see pls |

These are the people that voted against the oppressive ACN Local Government administration in Eti-Osa Local Government, only to have their votes STOLEN by Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Babatunde Raji Fashola and their tool, Justice Fatai Adeyinka, a shameless old man, THE black sheep of Ikorodu, a town of illustrious and fearless people. |

The new Tenancy Law enacted by Fashola will house all of them ojare, as well as the countless others that sleep under bridges and in their public transport vehicles overnight, every night in Lagos because of homelessness occassioned by the governor's penchant for building N10m homes and calling them "affordable"!

They don't look homeless to me. Probably sleeping near their customers so they don't miss the rush hour business. It is still a hard life, but let's not start jumping to conclusions. aloy/emeka: aloy/emeka: |

Awww, I just want to cover them with blankets. Oh humanity |

Ileke,the way Lagos operates those guys are probably not homeless. Some of those guys may own their own modest homes. We see them like this because they are on Okada, but bus & taxi drivers do this as well. Their homes are probably far from where the Okada customers are - so they 'd rather endure the discomfort. A hard life nevertheless. That's not to say there are no homeless people in Lagos - but look under the bridges, not in front of Dodan Baracks. Ileke-IdI: |

Hey, we all know that there are tons of homeless people all over the world, even in USA. But my issue here is simple, these are all working homeless people. They use their Okadas to make money all day, but yet these people find it very challenging to afford basic things to survive. It is sad and unacceptable. It will be unfair to only blame Jonathan for this. We should all point fingers @ people like Ashiwaju that capitalizes on sucking money that belongs to Lagos state or Nigeria And what exactly do these criminals spend the stolen money on? More girls that they can no longer satisfy, more cars that they hardly use, and more houses they hardly see. I wonder if these thieves will take any of these material gadgets with them when they leave this earth. |
