Really!
Over the years what has the government done for these people. These young youth trying to make ends meet ! They would rather struggle than to steal yet the government will not let them rest ! Where is the free education , where is the home for these people to lay their heads at night , so did our governor meant that when I’m thirsty in the 4 hrs traffic from Vi to Egbeda and I see a water seller I cannot buy !. This is ridiculous!!!! We are not buying the law!
Dear Governor , I never liked you … So u need to earn my likeness and trust ! Provide a solution before eliminating the problem.
Lagos state is for all people .. Stop making it for the rich alone !
Because you can afford to send your children to school abroad doesn’t mean you should make others who can’t live a life of hell!
I wake up 4am to work and get home 9,10pm just because I cannot afford the rent on the island and in the course is na pending 4 hrs in traffic ,u expected me not to be dehydrated?
This is so unfair Mr Governor !
