Food for thought
For those thinking it’s all about igbo vs Yoruba
Investments go dry, businesses will shut down, high job losses

It is a lie. It is the IBOS that destroy Lagos. Lagos is a market to many countries in Africa. Before the invasion of Lagos by the IBOS, Lagos was home to many people from different part of Africa.

The Ghanaians and SA don't want them. They only tolerate them because of Nigeria.

If they are driven out of Lagos, many countries in Africa will drive them away.

Actually they just want to expand the Eko Atlantic, and they needed a perfect excuse to swallow the beach ... sadly I hope they don't swallow all other beaches . ... Although we must all wake up to the reality that Lagos is going to be a vertical city twenty years from now and those locations would be prime location ...

That is the problem right there, there is no room for assumptions, when it comes to land matters.

If the plans showed one thing and he received assurances from government sources then it was not an assumption. He did his homework. The problem is a lack of consistency from government.

The only things that matter to us in Nigeria is chasing after women, betting, drinking, religion and corruption. Everything else na cruise. Nigerians are not even serious humans!

When I heard the owner of Landmark argue that he knew about the road project, acquired his land so that the road could run behind it and that this administration came on board and altered the project course to run through his beach front, I was shocked! Why are we always like this in this country?

PS: I didn't know that Tayo has left the country. People in government and the lunatics who support them make it very difficult to honestly like this country.

What is wrong with the expansion of Eko Atlantic City? Is it not for the development of the city? So one person want to hold the entire Lagos down because he is hosted in Lagos. If Landmark were to belong to a Yoruba can we hear this type of nonsense?

Antony Anenih is late. Chief Ogunlewe and OBASANJO are still alive. When VI became like a ghost city and nobody was willing to buy any property on the Island and businesses were moving out because of Ocean encroachment that boy Tayo was on the streets. If Eko Atlantic City had not been created by courage and resilience of some people nobody will be talking about Landmark today.

Well it's not a financial black hole at $5million per plot the last I checked might be going close to $10 million per plot now, the challenge is only 5% of the population can afford that, which means we will have more residential skyscrapers, which means more traffic with a single road network...and Rich men don't like crowded places. Hopefully you have residential-cooperate skyscrapers.... and minimize traffic

Anyway will sort it out. Just that government is creating a lot of instability within the business environment with their policy instabilities. You’ll want to establish a business but afraid that government will wake up the next and talk another thing. All I know is that whatever goes around comes around.

Tayo aina doesn't know what he talking about, those people sponsors his youtube channel, so he cant speak ill of them even though they are breaking the law.

In Europe, and America or even south africa, you can not build on a property just because you bought the land, you need to have the right permit and government approved documents.

Landmark isn't a tourist destination. Landmark is just like a small beach side resort for those who can afford it. and lets not talk about the overpriced and exploiting restaurants and cafe along that oniru beach shorelines

How many tourist visit landmark? majority of customers in landmark are Nigerians

it unfortunate that some people have spined these stuff into a tribal issue but along that shores, lot of restaurants, shops and also shanties will also be destroyed.

if we take into consideration, the effort the lagos and federal government took to reclaim most of that land from the ocean, they spent billions of naira doing that, but then how can you now claim ownership of something that has a master plan and the government have spent billions of dollars in doing.

Have you ever thought why there are no beach front house properties in Nigeria? it is because of the landuse acts and the claim that from 250M from the beach shore, the government owns it.

so why spin the news into something tribal, when you know you are breaking the land use act and also the government master plan

I knew how major private and government assets were dilapidating along Ahmadu Bello Road ..yes the Eko Atlantic project brought a relief to that, but the challenge here is the Government lack of information, because I don't think we kept quiet when Ex President Buhari built a rail way to his ancestral family home in Niger, the same way we beg the question"what is in Calabar" .. of course most offshore line of Lagos are in serious danger of been swallowed up no doubt and this initiative might help push back the ocean. But truth be told we need to start making billionaires out of our population else those skyscrapers will be empty or filled with foreigners.

Landmark is not the only property affected in that axis. They came to Lagos with nothing and are made now they are blackmailing the city that feeds them and abusing her people, the land and ocean and the lagoon will fight them at the end.

What annoyed me most was that we were direct victims of the ocean encroachment. I witnessed everything before we left when Ahmadu Bello way became single lane. Nobody was willing to buy properties even at giveaway price.

Nigeria isnt a tourist destination, any foreigner you see in any resort works in Nigeria, i have never seen any foreigner saying they choose Nigeria as a destination for holidays. We just dont have that environment and facilities, what we have is people setting up structures near the beaches and over charging people in terms of services and amenities.

yeah seeing senators, seyi tinubu and many foreigners does not remove from the fact that the owners of the properties down there encroached on federal govt properties

I pray we do see the impact, when public holders place their immediate family members in key government positions and award contracts to friends and family. The America you mentioned are not a Saint but the leaders are accountable. Look at what we have in Africa especially West Africa. We are divided by religion, ethnicity and politics. Everybody is corrupt and only want something for himself.

I totally support the coastal highway but why not maintain existing highway to international standards, make it safe for the populace.

I guess all government appointees want is "This is My Project" weather it good or bad, and nobody is checking anybody.

Former Aviation Minister Hadi embezzled tax payers money all in the name of Nigeria Air, where is the money today. Nobody corrected/checked him because he is friend of the president.

Emefiele did the same thing with the naira too, making Nigerians loose billions of Naira to currency change, now look at the naira.

See if you truly love Nigeria, you will see above your ethnic, religion and political party, but if you are poor and depend on the political party for daily food, then you be their puppet and you indirectly destroying a whole lot of generations life due to your stupidity.

Finally look at Libya, Libya was way ahead of UAE in terms of infrastructure and all, they have similar leader structure but now one is strong and the other is in Chaos.

You can come for me and call me all sort of names, but soon reality will set in, and by then you will be old and d1e a very painful death.

Brother, I understand we are all clamoring for a better Nigeria, but the cry and complain will not change anything, and no one will change our situation including Obi
Except we involve and play our part, nothing will move.

Let us stop looking for good drivers, let us join and drive our portion.
Nigeria belong to all of us.

Shut up and use your brain.

So long as you do not build on govt land, nobody can demolish your buildings.

Every serious investor knows that.

He did not even acquire anywhere besides where his main buildings are located.

He simply encroached like others behind his back fence that is a stretch of public beach that belongs to the government.

Like other similar business along the beach stretch, he enjoyed the encroachment and the end has come.

But while others are silent, he is making noise and trying to own what was never sold to him.

Even if the govt can claim the landmark man don't have papers, where were the govt officials when the landmark beach was under construction.

Did landmark beach just stand under 1min?

We should start asking the right questions, just like on the wedding day, "speak now or forever hold your peace'.

It's just a witch-hunt for that same Igbo tribe. The owner of the landmark beach is an Igbo man. When they were demolishing small properties in festac nobody said anything. Now, they are bold enough to demolish a $200M Igbo man's project saying they want to build a road.

Spending 1 trillion naira for a less then 50km.road. The hell fire that awaits our leaders , Satan is still adding diesel, fuel and coal to it.

Let landmark man go to court, even if he doesn't have the complete papers for that property. Someone can't waste his money because someone wants to push him out of biz.

What are the issues?

(1) Landmark admitted they violated the right of way of FG.

(2) They have not proved that they own the coastal land.

(3) The demolition only affected some shanties, and hardly the main buildings.

(4) Landmark wanted to fight the project to protect their selfish interest.

(5) How come he didn't seek redress in court if he felt his land was forcefully taken away from him?

(6) Why are other businesses not making so much noise like Landmark?

If anyone wants to take his businesses out of Nigeria, he can consider the market and the operating conditions. Landmark goofed here. They never asked the right questions. They felt if they build on that land and stayed for long, it would automatically belong to them. The least I expected him was to find another location in Lagos to continue. Just inform your patrons of the new location.

How hard is that?
