respect for citizens , traffic a,d exhaust smoke and blah blah blah are the reasons why lagosians carry long faces?

can you tell me how that affects your bank balance in Abuja. to me, the only reason a man would smile is when he makes money
I dont think living in Abuja guarantees a meal on ma table

Sorry i left out one fact, If u dont earn at least 175k per month as Salary, please remain in Lagos, dont even think of attempting to dream of wondering if u could move to Abuja. Abuja is for Big men and ladies like myself. no insult intended.

@tk, Not true.I agree traffic aint wonderful but I can wake up by 7 and still get to work before 8.If u know PH well,i live downtown and work at choba, I can night crawl and get home anytime i want.Its saner here and trust me that militancy thing is overrated.

I for one cannot leave in Lagos, not because of tax but because of Population. My first visit to Lagos, i was welcome with Traffic jam at the Airport. First impression matters guys. But if Lagosians enjoy Lagos, why do we bother. (No need taking Panadol for another mans headache).

maybe u need to know their isnt a place in Nigeria where night crawling is best apart from Lagos
Lagos is as safe as Mecca. The insecurity thingy in Lagos is oh yeah exaggerated

lagos is insecure otherwise people will not be building houses like prison.
Re: The Cries Of A Fed Up Lagosian by slaughter(m): 6:00pm On Feb 25, 2010
you people on nairaland do not follow events , check my earlier post on this fashola administration, i told u pple that this govt is not for the masses but 4 the rich, he the gov is findind it difficult to tell the poor to leave lagos but that is his wish, to achive this he has to recruit tout into LASTMA & KAI and with numerous taxes here and there, Bleep this administration,
Re: The Cries Of A Fed Up Lagosian by tkb417(m): 6:01pm On Feb 25, 2010
oh, building houses is as a result of insecurity

just hearing that
Re: The Cries Of A Fed Up Lagosian by candylips(m): 6:13pm On Feb 25, 2010
^^ partly i think  . . .

otherwise why would anyone build a house with a giant fence with barb wire and broken glass on top ??

why would people tell you not to be outdoors around midnite ??

why would neighborhoods employ full time guards ??

Now u shying away from the topic . . . .the thread is about lagosians getting tired of paying so much and yet see little in development.
Compare the taxes paid by someone in Lagos and that in Oyo state.

I agree with you on this!

I see the construction of toll gates as an example of this. Everything is going to be monetized. Soon, all the poor would leave the state to the neighbouring state.

Although he's making some meaningful impact, he should at least consider the indigent ones and those struggling for jobs.

@tk, There is a whole world of difference.My girl lives in lag.Anytime she comes to visit me in p-town,she looks really worn out.When she spends about a week here she begins to freshen out.Lagos is like alcohol,and lagosians are alcoholics, Dyin away slowly but steadily.

when she is entering night bus why won't she look worn out - abeg spend that money and put her on a plane - shebi you no dey pay taxes for there and have free money  cheesy

quick answer - are the brt buses for the rich?
Re: The Cries Of A Fed Up Lagosian by Fhemmmy: 6:59pm On Feb 25, 2010
I wonder where the people are getting the notion that Fashola is trying to send out the poor people.
The dude is trying to make landlord only charge for 3 months rents and yet people are paying 2 years in advance, now is that Fashola's fault?

@femi, I hear u, lol, @candy, The fence thing is everywhere o!But lags is the worst.Abi no be for lag dem dey consider gate for every street?This may sound really callous but measures should be put in place to raise the cost of livin.The resultin mass exodus will make lag breathe again
Re: The Cries Of A Fed Up Lagosian by TrainedM: 7:34pm On Feb 25, 2010
I Love Lagos with all my heart and soul. Lagos is stressful and all that but i am a Lagosian of the Durosinmi Etti Lineage. I have no where else to go. If u have another village or state, you can bounce . And as for those saying Lagos belongs to everyone just because Lagos is made up of people from different states are partly right. However Eko is a yoruba state. There is an Oba of Lagos just like there is an Oba for different communities in Lagos. The Governor of Lagos will always be a Yoruba man and the state radio 107.5 is a yoruba station.

Lagos has its faults but i will rather be here than anywhere else in naija

I am sure a day will come that we wont have to do all these anymore, but the process gotta start today
Re: The Cries Of A Fed Up Lagosian by Nobody: 8:25pm On Feb 25, 2010
i dont know why people are trying to soil fashola's name,this man has done credible well,Rome wasnt built in a day,it takes time to achieve the lagos of our dreams.I think what this man needs is our support and prayers,a state that has been in shambles for over 30 years and you expect a man to fix it within four years,lets be reasonable,he is human and not a super natural being.I live on the mainland and i work at lekki,if the poster must be sincere,lekki epe express road is under contruction and as soon as the project is completed,we all would enjoy it.Their is no local government area in lagos state that fashola's presence isnt being felt even if it is minimal.Lets all support this man with our prayers and not trying to discourage him.Lagos belongs to everyone of us and we must contribute our quota to making it great.At least the federal government has a seven point agenda and nothing has been achieved,no one is talking about that,why are we now condeming a man that has performed more than 50% of his pre-election promises.Long live lagos,long live Gov. Fashola and the good people of lagos state.EKO O NI BAJE O
