Why do we need to argue, when we all know that Lagos state has 5 main divisions-Badagry, Epe, Ikorodu,Ikeja, and Lagos...




According to The chief Executive at Timsott Ventures MR.  ROY GOGAN.


In as much as I do not want to comment on this unnecessary argument over superiority, as I think this forum should be a good platform in exchanging ideas and building initiatives and blocks to move Badagry division forward, I felt obliged to ask everyone to please cool off tension. Why do we need to argue, when we all know that Lagos state has 5 main divisions-Badagry, Epe, Ikorodu,Ikeja, and Lagos. LCDAs were created for ease 

of administrative purposes and for political exigencies, but have not erased the 5 pillars that made up the state earlier mentioned here.We started with Egun /Awori district council which transformed to Badagry local government encompassing Ajara, ibereko, and all other entities that made up the local government till today. Creation of LCDAs doesn't equate them or make them of the same standing with Badagry local government that is the icon of Badagry division of the state of which the Akran of Badagry has paramount recognition in his domain division of the state. Akran of Badagry shares the same status with the Oba of Ikorodu, the Oba of Epe, etc.They also have smaller communities under them like we have for exampl, ibereko within Badagry Division. We should not forget where we are coming from and that is why am just trying to remind us of our background as a Division of the state to let us know we have no basis for any reasonable arguments at all, but to focus on moving our part of the state forward in unity. We should remember that a branch will always be a branch of a big tall tree,and cannot be greater than the whole tall tree. We must respect ourselves and our leaders and encourage unity among ourselves, that is when we can move Badagry forward. God will bless us all in Jesus name.
