This is definitely a good development..

How can someone relocate to Lagos with the so-called plan of living under the bridge? If LASG commissions a pedestrian flyover today, the next day, homeless people will overrun it and turn it into their homes. Before long, everywhere will be stinking and disgusting.

Why not stay in your village and practice agriculture? Foodstuffs are expensive and farmers are cashing out big time. The problem here is the way entertainers hype Lagos as if people who live there pick money on the streets. When you now come to Lagos, you are faced with the reality that is too unpleasant to describe.

Hope the govt has special plans for those places being cleared or else they'll come back and still mess up the places. I think the closest we had to a true Urban renewal was under Fashola administration.
