Its not by force to live in Lagos brotherly........

talktimi: The Fash can do no wrong you silly town criers all Epe people who had their houses demolished should go back to their villages in the east. To be a Lagosian is not by force

van bonattel: *laughing in chinese language* chin chin chin chin cho cho cho cho chan chan cha hua hua hua hua Epe people have no reason to ask Fashola for compensation, they should return to Onitsha where they migrated from

Unknown Member: [b]Again, the Nogerian government shows why they are very useless..




1. I don't blame the government of Fashola for demolishing those houses. If they were built on illegally acquire lands, then they have to go. I don't blame Fashola because those houses and the associated deals that handed over the lands to the owners most likely precedes his administration. However, I think he needs to set up a panel to investigate the deals and claims of the house owners. Anybody who has acquired a land in this country, wether government owned or community land knows that it is indeed a difficult process. From acquiring C-of-O to even enquiring about a parcel of land all involves bribery and underhand dealings. He needs to look into the claims of the affected house owners especially if they produce genuine documents of approval from government agencies. Cases like this can lead to prosecution of those who were in charge of these agencies.

2. Where were these agencies when these Landlords started the building of these houses. Anybody who has ever built a house or been involved in the building of one kows that immediately you mobilize workers to the site, all manner of community and government agencies decend on your site demanding one approval or the other which it's be paid up on full before work is allowed to continue. If these agencies approved building plans, permits and all other such documentations for houses being built on illegally acquired lands, shouldn't they also have some sort of liability in this matter?

3. How straight forward is the Lands and housing agency and all other associated agencies that deal with lands in Lagos!? If I need to purchase a land tomorrow, can I easily get information on that land!? This Lagos state master plan, how easily assesible is it to Nigerians!? I ask because if it is indeed still shrouded in secrecy, more Nigerians would fall victim tomorrow.

on a final note, the owners of the affected houses should go to court, although I doubt they would get much as the houses are indeed built on illegally acquired lands. Fashola should also look into some sort of compensation for the affected parties. He isn't blind to how difficult things are in the country and for somebody to lose a house in these trying times, it could kill some of them especially the retirees and those who were genuinely ignorant in this matter. To intending Land owners, please do a proper research on all properties before you acquire them.

#Nuff Said.

Ejiné: LMAOOO!!!
Shymexx' Nairaland career is officially over

gabbytabby: There has always been a bit of risk taking when it comes to land buying in lagos. The whole of Mafoluku/Ajao is marked as part of the airport and is leased land so technically it can be acquired by the state at anytime. A friend bought a property to be demolised and rebuilt on in this area recently for 12m. The original owner bought it for less that 20k

Lekki (formerly Maroko) was also leased land and daddy been get property there from the 60's until acquired by the government. Did he get return on all his investment absolutely.

In the Ajah area even areas that have been the product of Gazette then gets acquired by the next government and then returned to the people again by a subsequent one. That is how fragile and easy for the land to be re-acquired by the state.

For some you have to ask

1) How much of a risk taker are you
2) Is the area built up
3) Which kind of people are resident in the area - Power brokers, movers and shakers?
4) How long can you get a return on your investment within 10 years
5) What is government plan for it
6) Which government has it- Federal or state. Plans by federal government might be less likely as lagos is no longer a federal capital.
7) What is the probability that the government might take it back - What other projects are in the area, can the state afford the project at the time,
Is the project an investment or your personal home.
