Seriously man, eat sh!t...

ashjay001:



This shyt is crazy! Instead of looking for ways to create more employment, they are taking away jobs n income from d masses in a third world recession hit country n giving same to machines n their originating nations?!

greenpasture:


The machines don't clean inner streets. Let's not over exert ourselves in an effort to show superiority through criticism and put downs. It takes intelligence too to acknowledge veritable effort

ashjay001:



I just dont get why all u intelligent folks were born in naija!?!

We're third world country, trying to live like a developed nation!? And, u'll dont see anything wrong we that?!

U intelligent folks dont see anything wrong in buying a walker for a baby not yet walking, with d parents complaining of being broke?

U ban street hawking/selling/trading, bikes, n most menial labour. Yet u have millions of uneducated, unskilled, jobless citizens on ur hands? Its not even as if u provide any welfare package for them o?

greenpasture:


Jobs aren't lost to technology, they are reallocated to areas that generate better value.

I have already mentioned that no jobs will be lost so this is an entirely artificial argument.

o42austino:
this people are backward ooo...this shit has been in 042 for the past 8years ,I do see it when jogging from 4:30am to 6:00am

ashjay001:



My take being, why bring in tech, when more pple can be employed? We're talking abt a lot of restive youths, mostly unskilled, uneducated needing a source of income!

Tech is good, very good. But, in a recession hit naija? Npower, 5k social welfare, school feeding, are all govt initiative to put money in d hands of d buying masses, to hasten our exit from this recession. I expect d lagos state govt to key into that?! Dazzol.

shukuokukobambi:

And you think you've made sense? Why not we just reject jets and go back to traveling with donkeys to create more jobs? you know only 2 pilots transport 200 people at once when 100 donkey riders could have done the job carrying 2 people each?!!

Do you know how many road sweepers get killed by deranged drivers in lagos every year?!!

greenpasture:


Lagos state has a massive entrepreneur fund https://lsetf.ng/ which is being disbursed without favour.

Local textile firms are coming back. Nigerians are doing outsourced software. But every economy needs to amp up its value chain else it's people live on subsistence wages.

But look, this street sweeping doesn't cost a single lawma job. Not one. So why the fixation over it. The machines sweep at night and manual street cleaner maintains the streets during the day.

Are you from Kogi?

enemyofprogress:
we are talking of where human beings live,you are talking of animals farm

seguno2:


I guess that you have ignored the fact that donkeys can also carry 200 people in a cart.
If cleaners are getting killed by deranged drivers, there are multiple ways to deal with the problem. It would however need people who can think deeply and see beyond their nose.

jpphilips:


Why did you buy a car instead of using human crossers to move about?

ashjay001:



As I stated earlier, why not employ more, instead of bringing in machines? I know u cant ans that, but thats d way I reason.

Can jobs be too much? And d jobs u mentioned, av a level of skill required.

Now talk abt jobs in construction, infrastructure, farming, cleaning, community policing, scholarships, education loans, skills training workshops.

greenpasture:


It's simple.

The best Jobs are those created by private enterprise. Hence the massive entrepreneur trust fund. We know that government is not an efficient user of resources. We know that smaller government and bigger private enterprise gets better results.

Governments role is to stimulate private enterprise not to crowd it out.

These are philosophical approaches. You are welcome to yours as others are to theirs.

ashjay001:



Wtf are nigerians smoking?! U cant comment in peace, it must be due to some underlying hatred?! Are u guys truely educated?! U cant put me thru then see if I will reply with hatred before judging me?! U're into street cleaning, since u know so much abt them, or still job seeking!?

Nigeria, without any maintenance culture, esp in a recession dont need to outsource jobs!? Buy/use naija!

But, deep in me, I see this initiative as a means to siphon funds!? If it was altruistic, why did d govt cancel d existing contract of d waste contractors n award d contract to a brandnew coy?! Made me suspicious of d Ambode govt.


If u must, tackle me with facts n info not throw shades! Some of us cant have wool pasted over our eyes! We're born cynics!

heysquare:

I've said u shud google for info regarding Cleaner lagos initiative with dat u learn more about d scheme. I am optimistic person so I dnt doubt d credibility of d programme in as much as some ppl wud eventually benefited. I ve learnt dat most of d good policy or plan of d govt tends to fail because we quick to condemn d plan on arrival. we dnt try to support t and ds had lead to failures of so many policy. given 27500 ppl job isnt a joke and im very sure by d time its fully lunched u wil give't a support.

ashjay001:



Small govt, is why republican govts in d US, fail with their economy. The ones that succeeded, actually practiced big govt!

Show me one economy that succeeded with a small govt! Oya!


Govts should work hand in hand with private enterprise. Some services cant be provided at a profit, which is always d watchword of private enterprise

shukuokukobambi:


Of course 2 donkeys can carry 200 people at once from Lagos to abuja. What was I thinking?!!

Can you profer a solution to the problem with this your deep thinking beyond your nose?

phr33man:
I came to Cotonou 2010 and I met this in Cotonou,Benin republic. I wondered why will a small country with no resource like my country implement this while my country probably never thought of it. well, here it is. I would have said we are lagging but it is understood that we are working on our time zone

agbangam:
See better leaders in SW, improving their Zones while d Igbos are der disturbing our peace. Ndi nzuzu.

mejai:
