@Abolaji Rasaq Oluwapese:”LASTMA is begging Agbero. Lagos State is gone to the gutters”
@♔Bike♔:”The audacity of these stupid fools eh. That was how #500 dropped from my pocket when I was trying to pay for something I bought, one of these touts picked it and said he won’t give me back. Thank God for not being small sized. He saw himself on the ground immediately. Rubbish’
@Onyeka Dakz🌵🍁🌸;”Somebody is already in distress and clearly inconvenienced, yet all a grown ass man can think about is how to extort money from her instead of offering help. How does that even make sense? The lack of empathy is appalling.”
@Skood:”Instead of @followlastma ensuring that the man is arrested and handed over to @LagosPoliceNG for prosecution, he is seen engaging in a conversation with him. Why are citizens being asked to pay money to fellow citizens in Lagos? @followlasg”
