I totally support this. Lagos shouldn't be for everyone to want to live. It is not by force to live in Lagos if you can not live decently or afford it. The same people when abroad would be sending pictures of beautiful places. Meanwhile, the same place in their countries are full of anti-social behaviours.

Finally……

They should do something about the drainage too….the drainage is really polluted with waste And to add to this….if the state want to turn it into a park,there should be a strict protocol cause if the govt isn’t strict,those guys will come back again and mess that place up

I remembered all those areas were green grass. From Lagos to Yaba to Oju Elegba is fountains of water. Beautiful environment those days.

​@@touskinhouskin most major cities in the world have designated green zones, it beautifies the environment, helps with climate change by releasing oxygen into the air which cools it, improves air quality etc. A mega city is not about big fancy skyscrapers, you need organised building plans, green spaces, good public transportation system etc. The state govt is on the right part, this is what many people have been pushing for... Not everyone should be in Lagos, there are other towns and cities in Nigeria to seek opportunities.

Good job LASG. There is no country in the world where under the bridge and surrounding areas become a refuse dump, a market, living quarters, etc. Please clean it up, and turn it into a park or amusement park. But also find alternatives for the people displaced. Now they have come to Lagos from all over the country, they have to survive somehow

Please my governor don't let people come back and build house under the bridge anymore please let keep Lagos clean Eko oni baje

A modern Park will be fantastic with trees. Looking nice already.Good job

Well done. Keep up the good work. God bless your hustle.

Thank you so much! My details and contact are in the video description.

Great job and kudos to the Lagos state government in its ongoing determined efforts to rid the city of filth and ramshackle shanties and general environmental degradation all over the city that constitute terrible eyesores, giving the city a very bad image indeed both internally and externally. As the foremost city in Nigeria, indeed Africa, what happens in Lagos reflects on the nation and the continent as a whole, either negatively or positively as the case may be. Lagos is the Pride of Nigeria.The massive infrastructure development in Lagos must, therefore, be complemented by robust environmental development and aesthetics of similar scale such as massive tree planting, natural parks, playgrounds and amusement parks, and even libraries to positively engage and impact the youths just to mention but a few. With that said, the welfare of the displaced people ought to be taken into serious consideration as well, with a view to integrating, transitioning and transforming them into productive members of society contributing their individual quotas to the development of the state and country in general. Lagos is a pacesetter and one hopes there's a masterplan already developed and in place before the commencement of the demolition exercise, which hopefully, is just the beginning of the implementation of a comprehensive and holistic masterplan.

Exactly my thoughts. The city needs urban renewal and general clean up and beautification which should include tree planting which will cool the air

Lagos govt really need to be STRICT about this if not everything will still go back to how it was.

LASG should build and manage a proper bus terminal there so buses can stop parking on the roads nearby.

Kudos to Lagos State Government ❤

Thank God

Nice job by the Lagos state government

Well done Lagos state government

There are a lot of places that needs cleaning in Lagos

Way overdue. Lagos state government needs to have an ordinance that prohibits behaviors like this so that people will be scared to commit an offense. Where there's no law there's no offense!

Multi Story CAR PARK is NEEDED and it is Necessary to beautify Obalende because this CAR PARK is OVERDUE and the houses around Obalende can park there vehicles everyday without any interference . Lagos population is increasing everyday this multi CAR PARK could built apartments where people can live and enjoy their daily lifestyles without obstructions

The flip side of development is decay. If you don't develop, decay will occur. So good to clean that space, but they should not live a vacuum they most use it for something. How about the largest garden in Nigeria/West Africa/Africa? make man dream na.

Another thing the Lagos State government should do,is to monitor Landlords Tennant rent issues. The should be a control of the State government over ut. Some Landlords just increase rent as they like.

The best move, thanks to the Lagos state government

If Obalende can be like this then anything is possible in Lagos😂. Kudos to LASG and Environmental/Sanitation team. (MOE) It’s still in its crude state, hopefully work continues as miscreants can be seen lurking around the area waiting for the slightest moment to come back once they sense work is no longer going on. LAMATA intends to build a cable car rail. Possibly, a modern bus terminal just like what we have in Oshodi and are modern car park would be ideal for this space… Welldone @iamgbolahan

We are scared to take a walk in Lagos, it doesn't matter what time of day. A city that cares about it's people should have never, I repeat never allow such eyesore in the first place. They should also take all those danfo buses to the scrap yard. Lagos is disorganized and nothing to write home about until they start doing things like this.

Lagos State Government should consider to construct a MULTI STORY CAR PARKING and that will prevent illegal shanties forever and Lagos State government will not worried about illegal shanties again. OBALENDE NEEDS CAR PARKING TO PUT AN END TO ILLEGAL PARKING FOREVER

One thing we should all remember as Nigerians is that having beautiful cities is hard work. All European cities we love to use as example are very strict with squatters and we as communal Africans would call it wickedness to the poor. So it is either we enforce clean and beautiful cities or we accept that we are kind and stop comparing our cities with European cities.

Thanks for the video. My God, look at the massive land spaces occupied by miscreants in Obalende. These are prime lands that can be used for train station, commercial highrise offices with parks. In Holland spaces like these are fully utilised. The governor needs to visit Amsterdam, Rotterdam as case study. So many urban spaces in Lagos state left to miscreants. I am happy with environment commissioner Tokunboh Wahab for his foresight and determination to get thing done.

Nothing will change; in a few months or years we’ll be back in the same position. Fashola did this in his first term in office. He’s left office now for over 8 years and we are repeating the same, which could have been built on over time. It’s Lagos nothing changes. Soldiers go, soldiers come!
