Thank you for your programme on Jimi Disu Discourse at 2.00pm Sunday 18th October mainly how to help Ambode solve the 3 onerous immediate problems in Lagos : Traffic Gridlock ; Security ; Environment.
Traffic Gridlock is caused by LASTMA lack of enforcement of the Traffic Laws due to the fact they have removed their hands from the cookie jar.I have it on record as a neighbor of mine a LASTMA official told me that all impounded vehicles are being released without paying any fine! Solution is to make LASTMA officials to do their work. Corruption is ruining the good work of the previous Goverment. As the Discourse concluded No nice guy can handle Nigerians,especially those in Lagos without strict discipline and enforcement harshly within the law.: Security : RRS Outfit is no longer effective as I was passing by their HQ at Alausa on Saturday, I can only see policemen, no Soldiers!.
Since Obanikoro withdrew the soldiers from the outfit before the elections,the police cannot handle the security situation alone.Combination of Soldiers and Police in RRS Outfit have been very effective against Armed Robbers and Miscreants who fear RRS than Police. The RRS team were funded from the Security Vote and the All the Banks in Lagos and the welfare and allowance given to them are good motivation for them to perform effectively.
Ambode should go back to that template that worked.: Environment : The New head of LAWMA is guilty of insolence because the staff are still the same. The question is the template has been working so it should work with Ambode . The Discourse conclusion that Ambode should roll up his sleeves and work and improve on the template of Fashola. Also the Jagaban should be reminded that he gave us Fashola and he performed, then he gave us Ambode, and he also promised that he will perform, so let him kick Ambode’s ass and tell him to perform as he promised when Ambode was unveiled.

As you have rightly said, Ambode should row up his sleeves and work most especially in the area of traffic gridlock and security because these duo factors is a determinant of life span (STRESS). He must let Lagos residents know that there are consequences for their actions within the constitution.
