the community report from anthony village

              THE COMMUNITY REPORT FROM ANTHONY VILLAGE
                           BY ESTHER EGBE
One of the most popular lawyers in Nigerian, Festus Keyamo spoke about the things he not comfortable with in his community, he said lives in Anthony Village, one of the centre part in Lagos, this are the issues he will like the government to assistant the community with the bad roads, wrong packing of car in Anthony village, potholes all over the street. He said my street is not more than hundred meters. Since I have been living in this street, the roads have never been tar before, am living at Ogundele Street, near Gani Fayemi chamber. He revealed that he has been sending text message to the chairman of Anthony  over one year  to remind him about the ways his roads are untar, since he pays his taxes he has right to enjoy good roads. But no responses from him, yet, the government should come and do the bad roads them, the complain is about the potholes all over the streets in the area, it has not been fix and the one of interest is the packing arrangement in the street, is very bad the way people pack on the street double packing, since Anthony is the major access road, the roads should be free and lastly the locking of main gate has stop.
The major problem is how vehicle pack in front of houses night making it impossible for people driving in and out of the streets, there should some kind of culture. What I gesture to the government is a bold decision they should take it, for every street in Lagos not only Anthony Village. Any crowed area in Lagos, government should provide like two plots for packing cars. If any house is  demolished ,the owner  should  be compensated very well and in every street  should maintained a security guide who will be in charge of  giving tag of the resident from street to indicate the street no of your house, it will be more secure, government should find a way to do this.
Mrs. Zainab Akinlade  one of the business women in Anthony village, she says my first complaint is that in this  our community, we need good roads, starting from the beginning of Anthony bus stop to the end of  the area the  roads are bad ,the government should help us to do the roads then we don’t have light regularly, we learnt that Lagos state governor gave us a new transformer, but we have not seen it yet, but in Bush street, along menda in Maryland ,we need  street lights to lighter up the street ,because there is too many dark street in the area and also it will reduce crime in the community, we also need 24 hours security at the beginning of Anthony village and other part of the area.
