Yeah. Last time i went to Nigeria, they had street lights in Lagos but people seem to ignore it According to the cab drivers, people get fined 500 naira for ignoring it but alot of people still do it. Anyway, Lagos is getting better but it still has a long way to go. Nigeria is getting better from what i saw last time i was there but that still has a long way to go.
Lagos is the capital of yorubaland? Wrong. First, the traditional name for lagos "Eko" is an edo word for war-camp. If you don't know your history, lagos was founded by an Edo King, Oba Orhogbua in the 16th century and used as a camp to stage his conquest wars heading west.. Did you know that the first eleko of eko was the son of this edo king? The capital of the strong Yoruba kingdom was Oyo, not lagos.
@obehi26 It's true "EKO" is an Edo word given to a strip of land along the coast in what is now Lagos Marina. It was a camp of Benin. But that land had its aborigine- It is the extension of land of the Awori and the ijebu of the Yoruba crop, and it fell properly under the tributaries of old Oyo empire. Lagos is not the capital of Yorubaland, it's Ile-Ife. At 2010, it's hard to tell whom Lagos belongs to. The Igbo are a formidable force by share population. But the prevailing language is Yoruba.
@VideoMikki Maybe its hard for you to tell whom Lagos belongs to but its simple: YORUBA people. Yoruba are the original inhabitants of the land, Plus you don't hear Yoruba people claiming Enugu or Kaduna because those lands are not theirs, the majority of inhabitants in Lagos are Yoruba and the Lagos government is 100% Yoruba that's why the language there is Yoruba, which is their right. Lastly the igbo population is prevalent(but small in numbers) in Lagos but they are not the majority
@gold9ja You apparently misapprehended me. When I said it was hard to tell, it was just a metaphor for the unparalleled ethnic diversity of Lagos. My analysis clearly vested the lordship of the land in the Yoruba people. As to the government of Lagos been 100% Yoruba, well 'am sure Ben Akabueze (Economic Planing & Budget) will certainly constitute an exception. I am sure you're Yoruba, but so am I. Now you know we can drag this.
@BigHandShake ok Ben Akabueze is a exception so 99.9% of the Lagos government is Yoruba then. I'm not trying to drag anything with you but just trying to understand what you meant from your earlier statement which you just explained now & I agree with.
if i didnt see it with my own eyes i wouldnt have believed it.. we have the potential to make lagos the "Dubai" of Africa.. we need good governance.. may Fashola keep the fires burning ... oshodi.. who would have guessed i was driven right thru it and didnt recognise it anymore.. well done!!
@oluwalogbon58 ABSOLUTELY! Any society where there is a good,solid and upright leadership, such a society can only move upward and onward! Even if the 'modus operandii', had once been somewhat chequered in the past, when everybody conforms to the new Status Quo,past forms of indiscipline would soon vanish as they would not be tolerated.
let the haters hate all they like ... this is OUR HOMELAND.. we are africans and we love who we are.. no matter where we travel to .. this is where we all come back..
despite the haters on here lagos is lovely i have just come back after an a very long absence and i saw the street cleaners in action and lagos is very safe compared to what it was like decades ago... it is well...
goldeismonica nigeria will never change beacause ,some nigeria rulers and their sympathizers are scared and they hated criticism ,i will continue to criticise nigeria and their corrupt rulers. every tourist that ever travel to nigeria ,have noting good to talk about nigeria.
i'm so ashamed of you right now, i don't know you but this is the most ridiculous thing one nigerian has said to another that i have read.....it's a big shame.....lagos is a yoruba land we all know that....but everybody comes there to prosper.....choose ur words wisely sometimes peace.
the question is how are affecting naija, before u decide to say things should not be said, are you affecting ur country in any way, or are you one of those who disguise to be american or european citizen instead of standing for nigeria against the bad heads who shame us all the time????
it may be a capital in yorubaland but every one lives there so anyone saying otherwise is an idiot.. cos its just not true!!besides the country's capitol is now in ABUJA ..
it's causing draw back for our economic and infrastructural development.....if we have stable regular electricity....development and security will be the oder of the day...I CAN'T SHOUT!!!
Yah we all agreed that electricity is a major problem in Nigeria...but mind you, there's little fashola can do on electricity because it goes beyond his arm-length ...Provision of electricity is the federal government responsibility and that's why fashola doesnt seem to be doing anything on it because the fed govt is holding his hands!
Wow cleaning up Nigeria. All they have to do now is, get them to stop scamming us to death and stop pirating our shipping lanes.
