Just at the foot of the Third Mainland Bridge, at the junction of Adeniji Adele Road, is a brick wall that separates the settlement there from the road. The wall, which is in a complete state of dilapidation, is about to collapse.
As it is now, the concerned authority to halt the collapse is pretending not to have noticed the disaster in waiting. One day very soon, the wall will give way, and maybe some innocent souls will lose their lives. It is only then that television; radio stations and newspaper houses will rush there to carry the news. Now that God is holding the wall back from falling, government officials whose responsibly it is to do something to prevent the disaster pretend not to have noticed it.
