I was really surprised when I saw this video, but I believe if the present governor of Lagos State continues the way he's currently performing, things would soon completely change at this location( that is if they're not undergoing transformation already). By the way, the authour of the video said the population at Ajegunle alone is between 4million and 10 mollion, what is the total population of lagos? ~17 million. So what percentage of the total population live in Ajegunle?

I fight people who condemn Nigeria just because Nigeria is not like US/Europe but in so doing, my real thoughts were kept on hold. While some idiotic Nigerians think that poor, roads and irregular electricity give them a right to call our people barbaric I just think we ought to tear down the tall buildings and electricity cables, get rid of cars, dig up the roads and lay down grass and plant trees. Modernised nature that is the future.

Nigeria is one big ghetto

They just don't understand.

I am Nigeria, and live in Lagos, Nigeria. I understand that the government is not doing the best but not everyone in Nigeria lives this poor. You have poor people everywhere, why do people see africa as the poor land? You have no idea what it's like there. This is one part of Nigeria - just one!

@LOW1711 4-7 million people do not live in ajegunle

@sunnyslimNG Guy i got you this fearing. Everybody is there making it busy and crowdy for nothing. But if the lagos governo lines everyone up for a valid registrations what would they say is their jobs or tribes? My eyes cannot not decieve me. We need close gotta not to buy mosquito nets. White is to blame, if they had thought registeration rather than war, there would've been more villance than what is there in lagos today.

@tonydaymn Thank you. You are right. that man going about with that white man may be bribed but he did not know. A cup of wine is okay. Can you get a white man to carry you about in his country? Travelling is education. Few yrs ago, i did not know that many white are poor you need to come to their land and see that they count in min, hrs are too much it's easy to 4fit 5Euro.(2) It is good that will make us learn how to keep our country clean like theirs.

Baba tunde must have travelled. He knows that anywhere you go, you must be caught because in oversea everybody is recorded. We copy white in everything but we don't copy them in registration. Look at what that man is saying. Can that happen in a white man's country? We don't know who they are because they cover their faces. We are jungel people and we must remain, the smockies. Go to a white man's territory covered and see how many gun shoot you'll receive. Baba make them respect lagos.
