Good and Bad

I love talking about Lagos, because that is where i reside. It is a very interesting place to be, i mean with all the very interesting changes going on here and there, I am beginning to feel like i am somewhere else, say New York, Ah Ah Ah !!!! am sure you are having a hearty laugh but not to worry we will get there someday with the likes of Governor Raji Fashola still there i hope...............
He is doing things alot of people won't dare to do but as a Senior Advocate of Nigeria he is well grounded, he knows his Onions.
Why i will not stop pouring accolades is because if you were in Lagos in the past ten years, you will understand why i am so excited, "The place was out of place" I am not being political here but i am just appreciating something good. If you don't live here it will be practically impossible for you to even imagine the Horrors and the Fear of Living in Lagos but thank God we can breadth fresh air.
The changes are numerous from the Brt, to the maintenance of the third mainland bridge to the beautification of the city infact everywhere is coming alive but i have a problem here, are the people carried along?
Change comes with alot of responsiblities and the people who are supposed to be the beneficiary of this changes are not carried along. Let me give a typical example. I reside in Sururlere, Itire to be specific and alot of demolishing is going on as i write, at this point i feel so sad because my mind quickly goes back to helpless people watching as the government brings down there homes to rubbles with no alternative and no immediate provision for where to lay there head. I know the government will argue that they gave them notices but we all know how accommodation is like here, very expensive and a lot of people here live hand to mouth,with no steady means of livelihood so just removing the shelter off their head and leaving them stranded on the street is not fair at all. I can’t write more, my heart is so heavy now, I feel even more than pity for them and I hope somebody somewhere reads this and do something, expansion of the road is good but living the people homeless is bad. Think on this…..
