Eko Ile: ^^^^^^ That was last November when the governor issued that warning, the village clowns thought the governor was just bluffing... there are seasoned igbos, those whose grandfathers were the first generation migrants to lagos. can they not hold a town hall meeting and teach these nw ones how to live on land? these bad apples spoil the case for everybody, including the long tenured igbos in lagos. 2 Likes |

ilugunboy:So what if bakassi boys are in Lagos? were they causing any nuisance? there are southeast security personnels attached to almost all the markets owned by igbos in Lagos. So why should this be a problem? Am not against Fashola closing the market. If the ministry of Environment gave genuine reasons for closing the market based on sanitation, it is left for the igbo traders to adhere to the laws. you can't trade in a dirty environment despite the nature of the business. moreover, the local government where the market is located has a bigger role to play. why would they not provide basic amenities like water and toilet facilities after the traders pay heavy tax to them? that is very unfair! 37 Likes |

Fashola has long abandoned governance to chase insects. Must you close down the market before starting renovation or enforcing Sanitation laws? 4 Likes |

if this is not a declaration of Economic war on Igbos then what is it,Useless Igbos will keep taking this insult living low and pretending that their exist one Nigeria. What stops igbos from mustering their financial strength and do a 3 to 5 year plan of Divesting their Businesses from Lagos state. The Importation Business would take place from Ibaka port and the new port in Bayelsa. The Telecommunication Businesses will be Divested and new Companies founded in the East with New transatlantic optic fiber laid. Banks owned and affiliated to igbos Relocate/move their Headquarters to the east. The Real Estate owned by Igbos and Niger Deltans should be put up for sale and better structures put up in the East All Oil and Gas Drilling Business and oil servicing Businesses owned by SE/SS should relocate within the 5 year plan to the East. While the one not owned by Easterner would be made to pay very heavy Annual registration fees. The Oil Companies not owned by SE/SS would also be made to pay very heavy fines to sort out Environmental Degradation and at the slight of any Oil Spillage the companies should be closed down and until the owners pay a heavy fine of $16B. All fights to and fro the Major Destinations in the World will originate and terminate from any of the international Airports in the east 22 Likes |

Excellent!! speaking with the journalists, Sulaiman said the state government had lots of issues with the market, ranging from hooliganism, lack of toilet facilities, degradation of the environment with diesel and fuel products. He added that the traders in the market formed another government.He explained that the taskforce officials came to the market two weeks ago, but the leaders of the market did not show up.“There are serious trading going on in the streets and there are lots of shanties here. We will make sure that this time around, proper sanitation is done by the traders before this market will be re-opened and they have to submit to the Chairman of Mushin Local Government Area,” |

Instead of Fashola to introduce stricter laws on cleanness in that area he went ahead on a shutting down spree. Only God knows what is in his mind. Lets see how this game plays out. |
