Ayam not understanding that last picture. Is that Lizzy Anjorin? If she is the one, then 'odikwa serious' because that's not the face I usually see in pictures posted on Nairaland.

On a serious note, you guys are making some people popular. I didn't even know her but Nairaland made her popular.

The community leaders of Gberigbe in the Ikorodu axis of Lagos have announced plans to commence the traditional ‘Oro’ in the community and its environs. The development is due to the alleged imminent invasion of the community by serial ritualist group, Badoo.

The ‘Oro’ according to the community leaders is to ward off the invasion by the fearless Badoo gang that have wreaked havoc in Ibeshe, Olu Odo, Ahmadiyya and other parts of Ikorodu in the past.

The planned curfew is scheduled to commence from tomorrow, Thursday, May 4 to Saturday, May 13, 2017 at Gberigbe and its environs.

According to a message obtained by InsideMainland, the ‘Oro’ activity would hold at different times including day and night.

Following the announcement by the Lagos State Government through the Ministry of Environment that the State will commence collection of an annual Public Utility Levy, Mainlanders and other Lagosians have expressed their dissatisfaction on the move by the government.

According to the State Commissioner for Environment, Dr. Babatunde Adejare who spoke during the 2017 Press Briefing of the State which held yesterday, Tuesday, April 18, 2017, the government has introduced an Environmental Trust Fund which “will provide payment of fees to service providers, concessionaries and contractors under the Cleaner Lagos Initiative.”

Speaking on the new utility levy, he said “a Public Utility Levy (PUL) will be paid annually on all properties in the State into an Environmental Trust Fund.”

He added that “a Waste Service Company has been concessioned to provide waste collection services to residential premises in the State.”

The PUL under the Environmental Trust Fund was established as a funding mechanism to aid in the tackling of crucial environmental issues and the implementation of the Cleaner Lagos Initiative.

Meanwhile, Mainlanders have taken to various social media platforms to express their displeasure on the new move by the government. The process was condemned as multiple taxation by the Lagos residents who already have various levies such as Land Use Charge, Waste Management Bill, Water Bill, among others they pay to the government coffers on a regular basis.



According to a Twitter user, Deji Dokun, “First drilling boreholes would be an offense, now Public Utility Levy. What does that even mean?”

Another user, S Adesanwo asked rhetorically that “Pls after this, would I still pay a separate fee for waste disposal, water, still generate power and hire security men??”

To Olusegun Popoola, “this is not a good idea. It is completely counter intuitive.” He added that “we are watching this space. These multiple taxes are definitely not the way to go. What does Public Utility Levy mean?”

Black Beard sees the new move as “one burden too many after paying for land use charge, LAWMA, PHCN, water bill, etc, what are the elites paying for in Lagos?”

However, a user, Nigeria Reports opines that “you are doing great works. Do not introduce another #TAX on properties. Ikoyi, VI, Gbagada, GRA are yet to pay LAND USE CHARGES, make them pay.”

He added that “this is major problem of Nigeria, when the economy is down, government officials don’t know that they ought not to introduce or increase tax. Reduce the arm- robber salaries of political office holders and see if the required excess fund won’t show up. Instead you still want to take.”

To Seyi Ajayi, “This can not pass if we,really engage our legislators. They will do that because they know we shall absorb it. In Nigeria government puts rope on the citizen’s neck not to eat while they finish the food.”

I want to contest under councilor. Do I hav a chance being non lagosian

While the rainy season in other climes brings forth a period of relief and cheers to residnets due to its positive effect on their lives, same is not the case of residents of Peace Estate in the Soluyi-Gbagada axis of Lagos.

This is because once it rains, the roads leading to the estate, the ones in the community as well as other adjoining ones turns into a nightmare for residents who use the roads to eke out a living.

Connecting roads to the Peace Estate estate such as Powerline, Anipole, and more are in terrible shape and becomes an eyesore during rainfall. Similarly, roads inside the estate such as Ola Adebiyi, Liverpool Avenue, Deji Olamiju, and Jacob Nwajota, are partly dilapidated as a result of lack of proper drainages with some partly eroded.

To forestall any difficulty during the looming raining season, executives of the estate however took a decision to ensure their roads are in proper shape ahead of the season. As a result, the Peace Estate CDA executives urged residents of the estate to contribute the sum of Ten Thousand Naira (N10,000) to enable them find a lasting solution to their dilapidated roads.
To ensure residents have adequate knowledge about the funds, the Estate CDA group printed banners placed at strategic positions leading to the estate.

What is however shocking is that these set of individuals resident in the estate are .....
