   Dear Governor,

   I felt so devastated about the closure of the burnt
   popular tejuosho I’tnl market without considering
   the huge losses most of the traders have forfeited to this inferno.

   Sir, I’m using this medium to express my heart-felt sympathy to all those that lost their valuables worth several millions or over a billion naira to this ravaging fire disaster that engulfed tejuosho market and that you should use your good office to allow those who still have some goods trapped in the market to get them evacuated before construction works on the site begins so that they can make a meaning out of their lives.

   Sir, I believe you are going to do something urgent to this situation to at least alleviate their presnt predicament.

   Kind Regards.

   Wishing yuo a Merry Xmas & a prosperous New Year

   Dear Mr Njoku, I do feel for you and all those affected and I beleive you will need to do more than an open plea on this website for your plea letter to be taken seriously and attention given to it. Have you considered collecting signatures of all or mostly all affected and appendage these to a letter and hand deliver it at the Governors Office? Better still you could locate some of the few remaining Social Lawyers (I mean working for the masses lawyer who dont charge exhorbitant and unaffordable sums) to send a letter on your behalf prior to representing you push this case forward.

   Mr.Fashola should consider running for president of the Fed. Rep. of Nigeria. He is the true leader; he has changed what government as usual has been for so long and he has shown true leadership.
   It was hard to imagine a year or two ago that men like him existed.

    Dear Our Able Governor,
    We just thank God for your performance since our amiable former Governor handed over to you.
    Iam writing this piece of letter for your good office to finally put Gbagada Estate phase 2 to order. The way things are going, a time will come when they will request for the public schools in the estate to be relocated despite that majority of them met the school their.
    They are in the Habit of causing un-necessary avoidable lateness,incovenieces by closing almost all the gates through which one can easily link up with Express roads to Lagos Island or to Ojota/Ketu/Ibadan/Oworonshoki for unjustifiable reason called monthly routine check for payment of their monthly due among themselves. This exercise could be done on non-working day like saturday or public holiday instead of doing it on mondays or any other working days.Each time the gates are locked in the morning especially from 6:30 am to 11:00am or beyond, we have been witnessing un-necessary hardship as per serious traffic hold-ups and untold hardship on the users of these roads. By locking the gates, Vehicles are forced to take the Bariga road and this alway result in hold-up and un-necessary burden for the traffic control warders and also result in loss of man-hours and further attenuation of our resources.
    The closing of the gates in the Night from 7:00PM TO 6:00 AM in the morning of the following day should be okay for them. By extending it to 11:00AM or beyond in the morning especially during working days for the so-called monthly routine check need to be stopped.

    After all these men that live in estate and classified themselves as big men don’t usually vote en-mass like those outside the estate during elections.
    I still wonder why they are finding it very diffcult to pay their so-called monthly dues among themselves for which reason they do close the gates at least once in a month.
    Sir if these people are not check, there is tendency for them to be operating as a cult at high serious level and by the time it reaches that level THEY WILL DEMAND:
    (1)for the relocation of all the public schools which are for average nigerian to be relocated outside the Estate.
    (2) They will demand for all places of worship within the estate to be relocated.
    some of them have forgotten that they attended public school in their time. Rather than Identifying where the Public Schools in the estates could be helped and where others outside the estste could be helped by organising Educational programme as per what the government expect of
    his citizens, they are rather embarking on causing problems for their fellow human beings.
    In fact being rich doesn’t imply quality education with
    human face. I suggest a survey which can not be doctored is done on their level of education.Any degree done on part-time before master degree should not be counted as part of the survey.
    If others were like them, there can not be unity anywhere. Riches is meant to move the society forward and not to sabotage productivity and attenuate others’ people
    resources.
    SIR, Iam suggesting this estate people put up their heads together and come out with viable mechanism to solve their internal problems without creating problems for others.

    GOD BLESS YOUR ADMINISTRATION AND THE COURAGE TO EXCEL ABOVE OTHERS.

    Yours sincerely,
    Taiolu A.I.

    Lagos: Mega City, Mega Miseries!
    By Ugochukwu Ejinkeonye

    Mr. Tunde Fashola, Governor of Lagos State, has, within the few months he has been in office, demonstrated clearly that he is a young man with well thought-out ideas, vision and mission to create a new, decent Lagos out of the chaos, waste and near-dilapidation that had hitherto defined the city.

    Although many blocked canals and drains are yet out there begging to be reopened to solve the perennial problem of flooding in Lagos, and continuously burning heaps of refuse emitting toxic smoke near Ojota still welcome people entering Lagos from that end, no sincere person can deny that Lagos is fast acquiring a refreshingly new face. The roads which were once famous for their horrible, car-destroying, hypertension-multiplying craters are beginning to experience rapid transformations.

    The other day, somebody was saying that while a very horrible road in his area was being rehabilitated, Fashola used to come in the middle of the night with ‘Keke Marwa’ (tricycle) to inspect it. Some swear he sometimes moves around town on ‘okada’ (motorcycle) to inspect on-going construction works or see for himself the exact state of the State he is governing. It is possible that Fashola actually does all these, but what we all know is that when such stories begin to be circulated about a leader, it says a lot about his popularity rating among the masses.

    What I particularly like about him is the quiet manner he goes about his work. Unlike many of his colleagues who would do a ten Naira work and advertise it with hundred Naira, the man seems content to let the people to discover what he is doing by themselves. That may be a longer, more tedious route to fame, but when eventually it is achieved, it is usually more edifying and long-lasting.

    Each time I drive through Ikorodu Road now and do not encounter again those horrible traffic hold-ups that used to keep one for hours, I express gratitude to him in my heart. Fashola’s transformational efforts have not been limited to roads; he is equally reshaping the entire metropolis and making it conform to what he thinks should be the original master-plan. And for a very badly mismanaged city like Lagos, populated mostly by people who have known only indiscipline and chaos as the only norms of existence and survival, such a target he has set for himself would prove a task really too daunting.

    Just as Fashola does so many good things quietly (including even repainting houses in Lagos), the demolitions he has been carrying out which have plunged many families into untold misery and unspeakable trauma have also been quietly executed. And just as the media underreports his good works, they also treat the issue of the many traumatised victims of his efforts to give us a new, mega city with something akin to half-heartedness. Even if many media people cannot be found residing in the various large slum settlements which Fashola has been scraping off with effortless ease, it still remains their responsibility to give such developments due and just treatment.

    The young, athletic governor appears well-meaning, focused, resolute, strict and principled. But I would hate think that he is wicked, heartless and callous. In his heart, he is probably more pained than I am over the unspeakable miseries his attempts to rediscover Lagos is circulating among the populace. Unlike Mr. Nasir El-Rufai, the former Emperor of Abuja, he could not, by any stretch of the imagination, have mistaken raw sadism for principles and courage. I am willing to believe that he fully appreciates my insistence that the wellbeing of human beings with red blood equally running in their veins as it does in him, his wife, Bimbola, and their children (despite differences in status) is as important, if not more, than a beautified environment, and that concern and care for both of them should in no way be mutually exclusive. You can demolish houses, Okay, but what do you do with the mass of displaced human beings?

    A few days ago, I was shattered by reports of massive demolitions of countless “houses” that served as homes for multitudes of Lagosians in Abule-Nla (Olaleye) in Ebute Metta, Lagos, without any thought for any alternative shelters for them. As the bulldozers moved in with demonic zeal, mowing down structures and turning them to rubbles, many hapless people suddenly discovered that they had become homeless. Just like that!

    Families, including old, ailing men and women, nursing mothers of very tender babies, pregnant woman and frightened, shocked little children, who had all been made to hurriedly escape from the only homes they had known by the murder and destruction-breathing bulldozers, were seen weeping, mourning and flocking about under a very heavy rain, bemoaning their fate and, perhaps, cursing the day of their birth and lamenting the abject poverty that had condemned them to find shelter in those shacks. The sight could melt the cast-iron heart of the most callous Nero. One could imagine some wives looking at their helpless, defeated and humiliated husbands and wondering why they were so unlucky to have married such poor men, unlike some of their more fortunate class or age mates who had married more successful men. The humanitarian crises this singular action has created for these set of human beings whose only offence was that they were too poor to afford decent accommodations in a society that cared less whether they lived or died have been quite has been quite overwhelming. As I write now, nearly a week after the bulldozers had executed their massive havoc and destructions and returned to base, hapless families are still stranded, yet to find any shelter anywhere, punished ceaselessly by the heavy rains and the tormenting sun, and terrorized by the dangers of spending the nights in the open in a place like Lagos. Somebody should just tell me the meaning of this!

    Yes, over 80% of Nigerians live in unimaginable penury and utter, unspeakable deprivation, caused largely by the greed and criminal accumulation of the thieving rulers, but must government always go out of its way to rub it in, and brutally underline their belief that these set of Nigerians are worthless and dispensable?

    I am not saying that Fashola did evil in seeking to improve the face of Lagos, but I had expected that he should as well have been even more worried that his fellow human beings have been so terribly impoverished in their own very richly endowed and high-earning country and forced to take refuge under those shacks. Agreed, these Nigerians had sought shelter under “illegal” structures, but wouldn’t they jump at any opportunity to be moved into decent quarters? It is only fair and just that in executing all its big dreams, government should not be unmindful of the magnitude of human suffering its actions regularly create. My colleague and friend, Mr. Dianam Dakolo, once wrote a very touching column entitled: “Government As Public Enemy.” I think that it is still possible for governments to take tough decisions and still remain people-friendly.

    Years later, when historians would remember and applaud Fashola for giving Lagos a face-lift, there is no doubt that not even a footnote would be reserved for the hapless causalities of his gallant efforts.

    I would love a beautiful and pleasant city of Lagos, but certainly not one constructed with the blood of peasants and retrenched workers. Patriotism would continue to remain scarce in this nation so long as government continues to be seen as an oppressor and public enemy. Who can ever hope to appease children whose parents had died of heart failure because their homes were destroyed?

    For every human tragedy created in the wake of these mindless demolitions, a dozen or more embittered people enter the growing list of the State’s enemies. By the way, doesn’t government also have a duty towards the homeless, to ensure they are adequately sheltered?

    Yes, the people were duly served with quit notices, and even allowed several months of grace after their expiration, but does anyone consider that these our fellow human beings may have been too poor to relocate themselves, even to their villages? Who protects them against bloodsucking landlords?

    Indeed, I like Tunde Fashola very well, and that’s why I am telling him to endeavour to make the rehabilitation human beings an inevitable counterpart of his ongoing rehabilitation of physical structures in Lagos.

    My dear Governor,
    I must commend Your Excellency for the good work your are doing in Lagos State since your assumption of office. If there had been continuity of programmes of government in the past the state would have recorded better developments than it had.

    The flooding of certain parts of the state during the rainy season had posed a nightmare to past regimes, including yours. Though, you have taken the bull by the horn the success recorded has not been commensurate with the great resources being expended. Cleaning of drains and gutters as being done presently will not solve the flooding menace.
    There is need to study and understand why the same areas/places are flooded every year. Take a place like Iyana Ejigbo or Apapa-Osodi expressway for instance: though great resources are committed to solve the flooding problem little success is recorded because the problem is not fully grasped.

    I have, over the years, studied most flooded areas in Lagos State and found that that there is a mis – design of the drainage system: most times the drainage system have wrong slope. Even where the slope of the drains is not wrong the rate of evacuation of flood water is less than the rate at which flood water collects: this is why hours after the rain had ceased and flood water still persists.

    The solution, as it is done in cities that are below sea level like Lagos State, is to employ what is called “forced evacuation” of flood water. This becomes easier where there is a nearby canal or stream as we have at Iyana Ejigbo.
    Details/workability of the above can be better understood through a pilot study or demonstration for which the undersigned will be readily disposed.

    I wish you success in the execution of your laudable programmes. Lagosians are solidly behind you. The only person to fear in achieving your set objectives is God

    You are the chosen.

    I F Akinayo

    I want to apply for 2008 Lagos state scholarship which is only for students of Lagos State origin, except otherwise directed by His Excellency. This scholarship is also for indigent student in which I am, although I am an Osun State indigene but born and brought up in Lagos state.
    I am a 400L student of Animal Science department, faculty of Agriculture , OAU, Ile-Ife, with a current CGPA of 4.16 out of 5, as at end of session 300L. I am the 6th child out 10 among my father’s children and the 5th of my mother’s kids. My father works as a junior staff with PHCN Egbin, and he will retire next year, while my mother who cares for our up keep is a pretty trader whose major work is to process cassava into fufu.
    Although am aware that the interview will be coming up on Thursday, 14th of August, 2008, I was just informed by my Head of Department on Friday, 8/08/2008.
    Sir, I will be very grateful if you can assist me, as I had to sell my stocks in first bank in order to be able to pay my tuition fee for this session although it was not worthwhile as an investor but I had to. I need the scholarship, for my tuition fee, textbooks, project and upkeep in part five.
    I will be very grateful if you can assist me from not missing this opportunity in other to improve my academic performance. Thank you Sir, may God keep and protect your family.

    Mr. governor: you have started well. I write to you not requesting that you do more works on your part but telling you of how I seek to do my part as a citizen. I have seen of your enviable start.
    The course of any long term endavour is best established when the future is secured. As a writer, I find solace in the power of a pen on paper; the precarious state of activities in Nigeria today endangers the future and any present acheivement. Out of concern, I have written a shortplay story on corruption and how it was extinguished by youths in a community rather than wait for an authority.
    It is a story that I hold in high esteem . I also have a burning desire to tell this story to the students of Lagos state.
    Its a dream that I have; I hoope you as the leader of all will help me realize this dream. It’s going t be above joy for me if you desire to see it. I am 24 years old

    Dear Governor,

    I can’t wait to come to Nigeria esp Lagos State to see for myself the much talked about “TRANSFORMATION OF THE NEW LAGOS STATE.”
    We are indeed proud of your good works. I would kindly request for your email address as I learnt that you give people the opportunity to send ideas to you on your personal email address.
    I wish you more successful achievement even as your career still unfolds more promises.

    Dear Governor ,
    You are really an Action governor that could sanitise Nigeria if you are allowed the Presidency .
    Anyway , this is a SOS message to you becasue i live on the same street as King Wasiu Ayinde (KWAM), and one end of our street (Okiki street)has become a refuse dump which is blocking the road .
    I have spoken to the refuse people but they ignored me .
    Please , help us out Baba of Lagos .

    i am a geography graduate of the university of ibadan, who is about to start his masters programme in uk at the university of leeds.The course i will be studying is GIS for Business Consultancy(this can be verified).

    i recently heard of the state’s venture into GIS in the area of carthographic mapping of the state and i realy was trilled because this means (Lagos)nigeria is already moving in the right direction in Nigeria.

    But in all the areas that lagos intent to use GIS for i didnt see any real business approach to it. i belief that with GIS money will flow torrentially into the state coffers.

    i passionately want to be a consultant in Gis. Currently i av paid about 75% of my tuision and i appreciate if i can get some assistance from the government of lagos in the area of scholarship to balance my tuision(11800 pound) of which i have paid 8000pounds.

    if Lagos State can assist me i will like to consult for the state for an aggreed period in Gis consultancy after my study.

    i belief in the what God has for Nigerian
    i can be contacted through my e-mail or mobile 08066987390

    i will be leaving for uk soon.

    i appreciate this medium

    Fashola you are doing well in rebuilding the face of Lagos But the truth is that construction is so far affecting the poor people. WHY SHOLUD IT BE SO? DOES THIS EARTH MEANT FOR THE RICH? Please think about this and reduce these destructions. The major residential areas are AJEGUNLE, APAPA, ORILE, and EGBEDA etc

    The most painful aspect of this is that I learnt that you said that if anybody is tired of your job he/she should come to collect #5000 for his/her transport fare to his/her home town. How does this sound to you? This is very wrong. Please do something to control this situation.

    Sir, this is my constrinct and i hope you will respond to our needs fast,i dont want the vision to die and i believe in possibility

    Dear Olumuyide Ikeoluwa,

    Your letter would have been better delivered via the governor’s website, facebook or hand delivered to him at Alausa Ikeja. Chances are, even if he gets to read the above letter on African Loft, he would not think you serious minded enough to respond as this is a very unprofessional way to broach the subject of getting assistance from Lagos State Government. A word of advice, package your NGO as a proposal to the Lagos State Government direct.
    Regards

    Dear Governor,
    Goodday sir,
    Am really impressed by all you have been able to achieve in your present administration in the state.It is commendable.
    I am concerned about the madness in Berger roundabout,which constitutes to the traffic from the top of Berger bridge making motorists to spend close to 2hrs atimes from the top of the bridge to the roundabout and this is allowing the perpetrators of all sorts of evil acts to carry out these acts.
    It is very bad and disappointing to discover that right at that Berger roundabout you see all sorts of uniform men claiming to be on duty to control traffic and still the effect cannot be felt.
    On mystery shopping investigation,it was found out that even officers that are not suppossed to be on duty dress up and come to that roundabout because they claim that, that Berger roundabout is very lucrative.
    Please assist us in this respect even though i know it is much of a task but the Lord is your strength.

    Your Excellency,
    DIRE NEED OF TRANSFORMER IN AGUDA-OGBA (BEHIND COUNTY HOSPITAL) OJODU-OGBA-AGUDA LGA
    Sir, the entire community of the above named community is appealing to you, our executive governor of Lagos State, Gov. Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN) to please let us (AGUDA-OGBA COMMUNITY) have a new (KV) transformer in order to relieve the only old serving transformer that has not only worn out but as well as over-worked with loads – by continuing expansion of the users in our area.
    As a matter of fact, wires and “nepa” poles had been run to the new location where this new transformer is supposed to be stationed/installed. Though, with the little effort of PHCN and infinitesimal effort of community landlords and tenants. Sir, the transformer is yet to come or arrive.
    Lately, because of overload, the only available transformer serving our community blew up, and all the wire in it cut into pieces. As a result, our area was left in total darkness since 1st January 2010. Just to have a little solution to it today 16th January 2010. With this solution, we still have to continue our usual practice formula of ‘1 day on 1 day off’.
    Sir, we (AGUDA-OGBA COMMUNITY) are appealing once again to please use your office to get us a new transformer installed.
    We thank you for your care, your love for the people of Lagos State
    Yours faithfully

    Adedeji Yinka 08056281610

    I live at no 4 sholade street ajegunle apapa lagos. off mba and almost opposite st. mary’s catholic church back gate.
    i want my governor to come and see the kind of place we the tenants live in yet we pay heavily and suffer intimidation from both the landlord, his concubine and sisters.

    my building is falling down save a soul because we have contributed money severally for maintaimance and he will caollect and spend.
