LAGOS FLOOD, DRAINAGE CHANNELIZATION AND POLITICS.


Everyone is shouting vi and lekki flood as if its not every part of lagos that is always flooded. The issue is the failure of government and not the people. political desperation and thuggery is too much in lagos and its affecting every facet of the state. Theres law n it should be applied with equality. The people shouldnt be painted as deviant anymore because  works by the govt is not conmensurate with the state revenue. How can lagos fight flood successfully n sincerely with commitment?

I grew up in ikeja so,let me use ikeja as a case study because during heavy down pour,ikeja is always flooded. The lg has two main canals/valleys,the one connecting the whole of adekunle from adeniyi  jones to aromire,allen,secretariat,oregun,ojota  and maryland. The second canal  connects the central ikeja  of toyin street n environs,police barrack,custom training ground,gra,onigbongbo,mende,sheraton and connected to the other canal at ojota koto bridge linking maryland and ojota on ikorodu road. These canals passed through vital politicised channels like the custom training ground,gra,various estates and choice location of politician not just  an issue of dumping of refuse in drainages. The govt of lagos should forget politics and focus on good governance squarely.

Enough of casting blame instead,an expansive drainage channelization plan should  be put in place.

Every other local governments in Lagos also have canals linking the main lagos lagoon which require proper channelization.

OYO STATE PUBLIC SCHOOL PRIVATIZATION INITIATIVE: A DRIVE TOWARDS COLLAPSE OF EDUCATION IN OYO STATE AND STRANGULATION OF THE POOR TO ILLITERACY.

I want to start by saying that the primary reason for the existence of government is the welfare of the people in terms of education, security of lives, provision of basic amenities, shelter and clothing if possible to the core poor and every other thing is secondary. No government that tries making primary duty secondary and secondary duty primary, succeeds.  Of all the primary duties of the government, education is sacrosanct to the liberation of the people and mental empowerment. If it cant be made to be free, it should be made to be affordable as governments success is key to provision of services and not profit making. If the state cannot manage the public schools again, it should humbly give the schools back to their original owners. There are missionary schools among these public schools and during the time of baba awolowo that these people deceitfully claimed to be following, education up to secondary school was totally free and many among them benefitted even on scholarship
