other places in Ogun too are very cool, some cooler than Abeokuta in terms of housing.
But truth be told Ogun is in its construction stage. I don't think Ogun can follow the ghetto path of Lagos coz it's very big.

Hopefully. They just need to give the place an identity and learn from the mistakes made in Lagos cos it's evidently going to be a new development.

The folks out there need to be on the look out for the pikeys from across the Niger River before they mess up the place and start calling it "no man's land". These folks just wander about putting stress on the non-available amenities. And don't sell ya birthrights and inheritance to those folks. Invest and build up ya thing.

I just wish Lagos can move a lot of things out of the state and get them to other states in the SW. That place is a humanitarian disaster...I don't know how folks survive living there, to be honest.

Worthy mention

Remi Kolawole
Rapper ripping all the way from Australia


The politically and socially active 23-year-old Remi, whose full name is Remi Kolawole, and his producer Sensible J have broken through internationally already with this album. However, being named the album of the year in Australia, along with a $30,000 cheque, has him feeling "ridiculous" but also pretty proud as a hip-hop act in a country that was slow to accept the American form.

"We appreciate that beyond anything [being the first hip-hop act] to win," he said. "If we can help in any way that shines a light on [local hip-hop] we're really happy."

Not only is Kolawole breaking new ground for hip-hop, he has done the same for two "fringe" groups: Tasmanians and Africans. Born in Australia, Remi's mother is from Tasmania and his father from Nigeria and his raps encompass racism, partying, social justice and urban dislocation, "representing all parts of my heritage".

"That's what hip-hop is about, representing the community that its from," Remi said. "That's the realest thing you can provide."

Bro,fact is that,all those pictures do not impress you. Show me a virgin forest and I see a land that can be built to taste. the homeland is being abused.
I am concentrating on those STEM professors because their achievement not only inspires, it also show their are alternative leaders to the clowns wrecking havoc back home.
Can you can imagine having all these project managers, civil engineers, electrical engineers and yet the over rated leaders give out construction contracts to illiterate and semi - literate plumbers,carpenters from China, Syria, Lebanon.if after 16 yrs in power, they cannot look beyond their cliques, identify and train the brightest and most enterprising omoluabis by sending them out of work placement abroad and cannot overcome the inferiority complex of handing contracts to foreigners who end up doing inferior work, then frankly,they are not good enough.
Imagine one of these guys vs Fashola in an election, instead of the likes of odumakin and Obanikoro polluting the air.
Personally, while I am one of the most ardent defenders of the tinubu clique and will not swap them for any of the clown at home , it does not mean I am impressed with them.
Just imagine what a yoruba language technical school to retrain and reequip all our artisans ( the plumber, the carpenters, Electricians,Butchers, bricklayers etc, will do. They all still exist in the past even though they are very skilled.

Lol carpenters from china grin. I'm surely with you on this.I've always encouraged folks posting success stories to inspire others.I'm only saying we should try cutting it down a little bit maybe like 10 bios in total per day and focus more on south-west developments.Nigerians back home should show us what's happening so we can critique our governors and know what areas they need to work on.

Preach, Sir.

That is why I don't join the bandwagon in celebrating mediocrity and lack of achievements. Then again there is little you can achieve within the quagmire that Nigeria is.

Just imagine someone like Olukotun managing Science and Technology in Yoruba; an Olupona in-charge of education; an Adebayo Ogunlesi managing finance; the Yoruba woman at Harvard in-charge of Culture; an Akande as the Attorney General; Dabiri somewhere in the mix; and an Ogunnaike for power. And these folks are career academics with vast practical experience who won't compromise their achievements - for corruption.
