The Real Reason Why LSG Is So Keen On Demolishing Otodo Gbame. by Dujardin(m): 7:59pm On Apr 13, 2017
Based on the recent events in the Otodo gbame community that has rendered over 4,000 people homeless and the law suit between the community and LSG. There is an underlying truth LSG has failed to provide.

The most beautiful places in the world are characterised by tall buildings overlooking a considerable mass of water.
Imagine erecting skyscrapers in Otodo gbame, you would have a Dubai-ish lake shore view that fits governor Ambode's plan of a mega city.

By the standard of Nigeria judiciary system and similar cases, Otodo gbame community is in an already lost war with LSG.

But I as a citizen of this nation condemn how LSG went about this demolition. Forget the number of people displaced the demolition process does not speak well of a government that serves the people but rather a tyranny to them.

Leilani Farha, the UN Special Rapporteur on adequate housing said, "International law is clear: there must consultation with the affected community, all alternative options to eviction must be explored, and a resettlement plan must be in place should the evictions be carried out,” she explained, adding “Under no circumstances should force or fire be used”

The mega city plan is a magnificent one but until Otodo gbame community is properly evicted and a resettlement plan is arranged, LSG has sent a message to all residents of the state that no one - not even its inhabitants - can stop them from achieving their dream city. And this is first of many tyrant actions that will follow in the coming years.
