Mr "Consumption" to "Production" and the business model that made you your wealth is "importation", sole importer of products.
Produced nothing.
Smhhh, the wrongest profile to even use that slogan
"In 1987, American Express introduced platinum card for 5000 people, here is mine, they later introduced the Black card (Centurion card) in 1999 for 1000 people on the planet, here is mine. I had a viable business and while I don't regret going into Politics, it made me poorer." - Peter Obi, NDC Presidential Candidate.
This is EXACTLY how the winner emerges.
Many people are shouting rigging, it's not the numbers they rig, it's the votes they buy. The citizens are part of the rigging!!!
Most liquid parties pay more and opposition can't afford to buy votes not because they are virtuous!!!
Keeping Lagos clean starts with awareness.
The LAWMA Advocacy Team was on ground at Ojodu Berger, engaging residents, traders, and commuters on the importance of proper waste disposal and environmental responsibility.
A cleaner city is everyoneโs responsibility. Letโs do our part to keep Lagos healthy, safe, and sustainable . #LAWMACares
@eta_habyb@tomiwalker_@JosephofIkoyi At some point, the citizens have to place more value on themselves and have some self respect and demand for more.
Cos clearly, politicians don't rate the people and see it okay for people to live in filth
You people think you're logical, but you're destroying the country by trying to rationalize why people live in filth, and why it will continue, there's zero excuse and you should be ashamed by this.
WASTE per DAY
Ghana - 9,700 tonnes/day
Cรดte d'Ivoire - 9,000 tonnes/day
Senegal - 5,300 tonnes/day
Burkina Faso - 4,000 tonnes/day
Mali - 3,700 tonnes/day
Lagos - 13,000 tonnes/day.
Lagos alone generates more metric tonnes of waste daily than EVERY COUNTRY in West Africa and generates more waste per day than 49 of the 54 countries in the whole of Africa.
Yet, it is the smallest and one of the most densely populated urban region in the world.
The challenge of waste management in Lagos should be a National conversation and emergency. It is a combination of irresponsible citizenry, poor collection processes, inadequate recycling facilities, not enough waste players and almost no land areas for disposal.
For now, waste in Lagos will be common sight!
I was so civil cos it was so nauseating to see govt being excused.
If car owners pay fine for breaking traffic rules, he made very lazy excuses that people don't pay to take trash? Cos govt is helpless abi?
The way to tax for clearing trash is too many to even ASK people to pay
Having a citizenry that demands no accountability is how democracy and governance FAILS.
The trauma from the military era, the brainwashing from the pulpit and mosques and the never question elders culture has made us a very weak polity, a sweet recipe for poor governance.
@tomiwalker_@eta_habyb@JosephofIkoyi Reforms fail/succeed at the desk of implementation.
There's no vision for the kind of life a typical Lagosian/Nigerian should live and the unfortunate part is our people are born into this and see this abomination as normal.
Cos just how much to fix the LGAs smh
Fashola didn't give all these excuses o.
Y'all like excusing incompetence and it's appalling.
You have weak enforcement, that's a weak government and you breed people misbehaving with no consequences.

@tomiwalker_@eta_habyb@JosephofIkoyi Haa, the land belongs to the state not LG, they can't collect that.
But perhaps, service charge (road maintaince, sweeping, street lights, etc)
Like my Oga told me today, the federalism we should be asking for is for states to stop encroaching on LGs powers more than federal encroachment of state powers.
So our biggest devolution ask should be from the state governments not FG.

Just look at what you've reduced your music career to. This is the same Falz who once had the industry at his feet, whose collaborations helped elevate other artists, and whose songs enjoyed massive airplay across the country. Today, however, relevance seems to arrive only when politics is involved.
The last time your music generated any significant buzz was during the 2023 elections when you released a politically charged song targeting the then INEC Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu. Since then, your career appears to have retreated into its shell like a snail avoiding daylight.
Three years have passed. In that same period, artists like Olamide, Asake, Davido, and Wizkid have consistently released projects, dominated charts, and kept their names alive through music rather than political commentary.
Yet here you are again, returning to the microphone not with a hit record, but with another politically motivated performance. At some point, you have to ask yourself a difficult question, are you still chasing a music career, or are you simply borrowing politics to stay relevant?
Because from where many are standing, it increasingly looks like music has already moved on without you.
