This is the same country that budgeted 65 billion for the members of the National assembly for the 2008 fiscal year while claiming that the budget is for the ordinary nigerian on the street, the same country that is trying to churn out 1 billion naira to purchase new cars for the new ministers and presidentail advisers, this is also the same country that pastor oyedepo decleared will be great in 2011. Nigeria i hail thee, until all the poor masses open their eyes and start holding all their leaders accountable the status quo will remain for ever. |

thanks for the real picture of things. Again, we know all these are human-made and anything human-made can be corrected with: detailed planning, dedication to duty and consistence approach. if we cannot take care of each other, we will all die alone. it is that simple |

babasin:Some people on nairaland will tell you that poverty is a spirit that needs to be fought with the blood of jesus rather than pragmatic approach. |

Hi @Poster Can we like get more pictures of life in Lagos please. I mean many of us who are outside get conflicting ideas from those who live there and those who go and come back from there. I would appreciate it if you would post more pictures of other places in the same Nigeria for us all to see. |
Re: Pictures Of The Week (Ugly Side Of Lagos) by bindex(m): 7:20pm On Dec 04, 2007 |
@ Kobojunkie The pictures depicted above paint the true picture of things in most of Nigeria, there isnt any thing conflicting those that come from abroad get worshipped here they go back and tell lies to their friends that things are getting better, surely things are getting better for the politicians and the top government functionary but they picture posted above is the reality of about 65% or more of nigeria's population. |

The Holy Bible says that Faith without works is dead. So, Majaje, your criticism is unfounded. The pictures are depressing, but you know what, God is the final judge. Honestly, I do wonder at times how a politician can cruise around in a brand new airconditioned car sometimes acquired ill-gottenly breezing out of a dilapidated junction in full glare of beggars. That is why, I insisted on my previous thread, that we should not be critical of those who beg. Very depressing! |

Re: Pictures Of The Week (Ugly Side Of Lagos) by Kobojunkie: 12:58am On Dec 05, 2007 |
Ok, someone please tell me that picture with the house almost collapsed is fake?? LMAO!!! mazaje: Have you ever read a bible before?? Fighting something with the blood of Jesus does not imply what you make it there @mazaje. I fight poverty with the blood of Jesus in my life and that fight includes me getting up every morning to go out to work and come back home to continue on private projects. If you do not understand these things, please feel free to ask and let those who actively live these beliefs tell you more. |

Nothing to hide Kobojunkie--it is there for all to see. I am in my village right now and I swear, it is cleaner than this so called slum of a city! So people can come out and say they live in this same Lagos? May God help us all! ![]() In fact, God is really helping us in Nigeria! This environment can kill most indigenes of civilized countries--just by breathing the air alone! |

The worst thing about my country Nigeria is that the promised end of her plight is nowhere near our generation. if with all the billions of dollars the nation makes, we cannot build this nation to upgrade the living status of the common man even at this level of understanding, then hope is essentially lost. I confirmed that this nation is gone the day I read that a world body, whether IMF or World Bank listed my own proud country as among the "FAILED" Nations in the world. It's amazing cos, if a nation is marked as "failed" that includes the fact that nothing good, as in absolutely nothing good can come out it. So, whatever one can do as an individual to live above minimum standard should be done by that individual. Suen has plugged in to assist himself. others should find a way as well. do not expect the present ruling class to assist in bringing any form of improvement in your finances. Do it your self or you die expecting! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Seun: God, u made me laugh. I thought Calabar was once a capital, why the difference? who made Lagos this way? is this the Lagos babasin is so proud of that its "Yoruba" land? would u also hold Yoruba's responsible for this decay? ehn? |
