Haha!

You are already there with your backward ways of reasoning, no need for transportation fare anymore.

Seeing you get angry with a study done on an international city like Lagos where so many international citizens lives, makes me feel you really need help coming back to our Morden world.

And somewhere in that irregularly shaped cranium of yours, you're of the belief that you're reasonable enough to be counted amongst those adjudged to be of "modern standards"?

If you were intelligent enough, you'd have realised my exchange with the OP was consequent upon previous engagements that transcend beyond this thread. But as always, your stupid brain is too cold to deduce understanding from words, except what your animalistic tendencies permit you to believe.

Now I see why Yoruba people bastardise you folks on this platform. You run into issues like headless chickens and mountain goats on heat. Even things you have little or no information about, your crude senses push you into unsavory reactions before you remember to ask the right questions or make the right observations.

Stupid bastards like you are responsible for why Nigerians of other tribes loathe your tribe and region. The young man I was having a conversation with is a refined Igbo man and it is pitiable that he has to share roots with animals like you.

All those roads mention are by far better than Lagos to Abeokuta expressway( Abule Egba to Toll gate) the road has been abandoned having using almost 2 years to construct single lane while abandoning the other lane.
The journey that we spent 30 minutes now taking 2 hours.

There is a reason Lagos is ranked among the worst city to live in.
Lagos is justling for top positions with cities like Damascus ,Tripoli,etc.

Lagos is but a concrete jungle.
Failure of government and a clueless political party,I guess

You are a fool for trying to deceive people here
Buddha3:
It is not an arguable fact that Lagos State has not seen measurable development that is befitting of her status as a commercial city with a basic economic yield that eclipses about 50 African countries. In a manner of speaking, the annual revenue being disclosed to the NBS is actually well under half of what Lagos makes in reality. And for a state with a small geographical landmass, housing the population equivalent of two to three Northern states, Lagos is immensely overburdened, reason the very oxygen there is toxic enough to reduce the life expectancy of an average Nigerian by 10years.

That being said, it is important to remind the likes of the OP and others who find delight in meddling with issues concerning Lagos, that there's the need for you all to "LET LAGOS BE"!

Leave Lagos State for Lagosians. Whatever problems and challenges the state has, should be of no concern(s) to you. If you see the need to live or work there, do it in relative peace and self-awareness. Stop bothering yourselves with issues of no positive consequences to your lives. Yorubas and other Lagosians like the city as it is. Do not complain on their behalf. By virtue of studies and published analysis, Lagos is adjudged to be a sinking city that has been predicted to be swallowed by the Atlantic ocean in about 50years. If and when that should happen, leave Lagosians to mourn the loss.

I see no sense in making Lagos state your headache when you're peacefully residing in a far away state. Personally, even if a gun is put to my head, I won't live or work in Lagos State cause of my sanity. I spent 3years of my young life over there and the lawlessness and arbitrary living standards are not for me. So y'all should learn to find peace within yourselves and leave Lagos alone!

I've really given you a dose too hard for you to swallow and that's the reason for your reckless and unfortunate outburst. Anyway, I've made a point weather you like it or not I believe you have gotten the message and that's why the callous curses coming out of your rotten toilets.

Yorubas can say whatever they like about any tribe in Nigeria and that's their issue because it doesn't make them a little better than others, because if they are, we will not be talking about Lagos of which mostly they are the managers.

I'm sorry if I've made you lose your cool this evening but please try next time to be more civilized when discussing in a public forum like this as we will continue to catch our fun here dispite your bad blood against my people.

If Una no like us, allow us to leave naa! Haha!

It is a Nationwide problem. LG's are just an avenue to chop the money Just that that of Lagos as expected is huge. Na as them plenty for Lagos na so them dey embezzle the money.

One LG chairman was suspended recently in Oyo state of chopping about 60M and they complain every now and then of no money,so if there is no money where he sees 60M to chop?

Unless a total and complete restructing is done, I'm sorry nothing good will come out of local governments

A drive through Lagos will leave the picture of dilapidated infrastructure before you.

Is it the expressway from Ojota to Costain that now has collapsed portions that a simple patchwork could have solved?

Is it the the road to Ogombo from Abraham Adesanya that has totally collapsed and spills traffic to Abraham Adesanya roundabout?

Is it the abandoned project at VGC that left bad portions of road there that causes massive traffic and loss of productive hours?


Is it the construction of Awoyaya to Abraham Adesanya section of the Lekki-Epe Expressway that is moving at the speed of snail which has made a trip that should have been 10 minutes to run into 3 hours sometimes?

Or is the total collapse of infrastructure in Idumota Market with flood almost taking over some section of the market without government lifting a finger?

Or is it the fact that no inner streets roads has been constructed anywhere in Lagos in the past four years?

These things leaves you wondering, “what is Lagos really doing with its huge revenue”?


Again, one can’t help but wonder, if smaller and poorer states like Ebonyi, etc, can build infrastructures without putting it back on the residents in the name of tolls, why does Lagos keep concessioning major infrastructural projects like roads, bridges, to private entities who use their money to build these projects and resort to daily taxing of residents in the name of tolls in order to recoup their investment?

It's embarrassing that supposedly educated minds can't discuss reasonably on a matter that affects us all irrespective of tribe or status. What's this new addiction to turning every post to tribal war?

Anyway, the fact is that LGs are underperforming across board and we should proffer good ideas towards their improvement for our benefit.

The CDAs should monitor the allocations received, how it is spent and brief their members. Residents/members should ensure that the CDAs work in their favor. They should monitor projects and help to ensure that facilities are well maintained and not vandalized.

One thing that baffles me is how and why the State Governments don't allow the LGs to thrive on their own by cornering their funds. Also why the LGs can't fight to get their full allocations and to make good use of it.

You mean the so corrupt local government council lol.
