In 2006, the Lagos state government enacted the Lagos State Signage and Advertisement Agency (LASAA) Law.

This law was designed to prevent and punish the act of defacing street surfaces by residents.

At the time, it was almost impossible to see a street or road in Lagos without an eyesore of a jumble of posters, or other advertising signs.

Roads, medians, junctions and streets were literally littered with different signboards, banners of different sizes, A-frames, meant to advertise a product, service, event or organization.

Through LASAA, the Lagos State has spent millions of naira on advocacy meant to dissuade residents from posting posters indiscriminately.

The offence of posting posters on street surfaces contravened Section 168 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015 (Revised). The section prescribes a six months imprisonment or a fine of N90,000 for offenders.”

Soon after LASAA was created, Lagos began assuming a refine outlook.

Transformation was visible across the State. Lagos State Signage and Advertisement Agency (LASAA) was seen to be working. In the process, countless offenders were punished.

However, there appears to be offenders that  are above the law.

These offenders are the politicians.

Lately, going on a tour of the city, one would behold a jumble of political campaign posters of politicians.

They are used to deface every street surface for example, Roads, medians, junctions and streets, etc.

And this was done just to campaign during the state primary.

Then what should one expect from as the general election approach?

At such time, every acolyte or political sidekick often print and post posters of their preferred politicians as a display of support for them.

Does Section 168 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015 (Revised) not apply to these class of Lagos resident?

Or are the Lagos state politicians above the law?

Not only Lagos..... virtually all Nigerian streets now have campaign poster


After they vote them in, They drive their "black Jeeps" and shun the masses that voted them in. Consistently the next election same process...


Typically Nigerian politics.

They should compulsory using of billboard for advertisement for all the politicians...Politicians are among those that makes the environment dirty in this country by their yeye poster.

Like for Bobrisky. Share for Buhari

And most na Ambode posters..

He should be made to remove them on his own for defacing the streets of lagos.

Nigeria politician be criminal

lol..
it aint even 2019 and we are complaining.

APC.....

Winning ticket ...

Seeing such makes me wonder if a single Poster will change my mind to vote who I don't wanna vote...

I just surmise that we are living in a world that is full of educated illiterates

normal thing in politics. Even Ambode the Ondo coward littered everywhere with posters

I can only see APC posters

see this advert The people who actually do the pasting advertised on same space, just behind the LASTMA official.
This is their season

They are the ones breaking the law now, do not deface lagos, I guess the law is only for the poor.

This is not defacing na. They are beautifying the walls.


Go to Aba, you'll see the real definition of defacing.

I get irked and irritated at the same time every time I happen upon this wanton and indiscriminate posting of bills nationwide. It is indeed an eyesore. Not forgetting the menace of sachet water and plastic bottles. We sure have a very far road to travel on as a nation.

For the indiscriminate posting of bills and defacing of environmental aesthetics, curbing or prosecuting offenders should be an easy fry if indeed the agencies saddled with the responsibilities are willing to step up to the plate.

If the offending poster is for a political campaign, it certainly bears the photograph, name and political party of the person culpable.

If its the nonsense job adverts of "hotel job vacancy-salary 100k", finding the offender will be as easy as calling the number attached to such adverts.

We simply lack the will to do things right and that's our bane as a race and nation.

Enjoy my siggy

ATIKU WE NO ...OPERATION KICK OUT THE LIFELESS

Adeshina is not a bigwig in the SW

Funny thing! I was just passing the bridge at Ikeja and soliloquizing over the indiscriminate defacing of Public structure by Politicians... then cam Online to see this! It's a shame really... the place where Nigeria is on a Global scale. Only we can help ourselves.

LASA will not see them now if I paste my business poster they will come after me

Exactly! But printers must chop - this is time to have their own share of the national cake.

I got to Lagos recently and I must say that the standard obviously deteriorated under Ambode.

Those saying ambode is working obviously lost touch with the standard fashola left behind.
Lagos is dirtier, okada has returned to the roads, people break traffic laws and get away with it, you dare not use BRT lane during fashola's period but everything has fallen.
Potholes everywhere, the Lagos roads look as dirty as it was 10 years ago before fahsola
Uncompleted and abandoned roads along airport and ikorodu.
You dare not post bills anyhow in Lagos during fasholas tenure.
Lagos has fallen! I repeat, Lagos has fallen

Obviously, the permonace of ambode is nothing near that of fashola. Now I have no pity for ambode, he should go

True

Just like osinbajo in 2015...

Halo
So you know

See this

And Ambode is preaching against street walls defacing

Ayakaya1:
Real Madrid have gone four matches without scoring a single goal and Barca the same number of league games without a win.

Both clubs meet in three weeks time with one misfiring and the other miserable to say the least.

Who among the traditional league giants will come out on top in the first clasico of the season?

Let's hear your view.
