[quote author=tiab]When you think of the mother with her kids, some innocents that didn't ask to be born into the ignorance of their parents, I think an alleviating measure should have been kept in place.A temporary camp should have been provided, considering the poor shall never cease to exist.With the intense rain expected this year, my heart cries out.Mr Governor good job but,provide temps at thesame time.Help please.[/quote] my dear the poor also should sacrifice towards the betterment of tomorow cos if parents dont enjoy toaday children will enjoy tomorow's development. |

[quote author=kross_01] its easy to say that when its nt u dt is in their position. If you made any research about the area in question or its people, you wld have known that the people being displaced are traditional lagosians who wia initially relocated to this present area when the FG took over their initial settlement to build the national theatre. Now i ask u, which village do u want them to go to? Why are we overtly insensitive to the plight of others in this country? These people in question were NOT even given notice b4 there settlement were demolished.during d press conference whch SERAP or so did, a young man said his admission letter & his travel docs wia all lost there as he never knew b4 hand of the demolision.dont say its good because u were nt affected, tomorrow it might get to u.[/quote] and you think govt can demolish a place without informing the residents? pls change is inevitable. those same people may be the one to benefit from the development |

James Lucia: The poor should sacrifice, what about the Rich that has been looting us for dacades. The Lekki you see is a glorified Slum. Wait until it starts raining. The government just grabs and sale lands to their cronies. Why not develop low-cost housing for the poor. 3 Likes |

@shymexx u are obviously a very immature person,who does nothing but call people names when they are trying to have an intelligent argument. 'Dual citizenship indeed', Everyone knows Nigerians are nothing more than 3rd class citizens in the uk.So dont come here and claim nothing. If abroad was so wonderful,why are Nigerians in the diaspora coming back en-masse. Are u not 'Nigerian' or 'part' (LOL),What stops you from coming back and leading the struggle instead of hiding in a little hole in the uk and campaigning for a revolution. @topic,nobody is saying the place should not be demolished,what some of us are saying is that provisions should be made for them in terms of relocation or at the very least quit notices should have been served . Like someone earler said a government should have a human face ! 5 Likes |

FXKing2012: Sacrifices must be made for development to take place, but Africans usually dont like making sacrifices (except sacrificing to deities) which is why Africa is so underdeveloped. Perhaps you failed to realise that the article was done by New York times. That the media of a developed country can empathise with the poor tells you developed countries who must have also sacrificed to get to where they are did not go about it this way. Some of us have always said this fashola guy is elitist, guess you dont have to look far to see evidence of it. 2 Likes |

Poo to western media, propaganda is their greatest goal. |

Elueme: Fashola is gradually sliding into running a government that excludes the poor but every society cannot be aristocratic and fortunate as him and his god father Tinubu. The poor has a right to live just like Fashola or another person. This madness should stop now!Once I saw this, I knew you just another chorus-singing-empty-brain hater! |

PAGAN 9JA: On the contrary, if you knew me (God forbid), you would know that I am a man of my word and have never deceived anyone that I do business with. I can sleep soundly every night knowing that I have helped to save lives and gave families a chance out of poverty. I don't thief and I don't cheat, and so I'm proud of what I do and what I've achieved to get to where I am today. I hope you realize that not every Indian in Nigeria is bad, and that there are always two sides to every story. Most of us are just trying to survive like everyone else, so why so much hatred? 2 Likes |

"The Nigerian government’s untender approach to its poor..." Thats an American's view of the event... Means even an American (citizens of countries Fashola wants to emulate) feels the act was extremely unkind... Yet...some acclaimed 'lagosians'(who want us to believe only they own Lagos) cant feel for their fellow countrymen displaced... For all of you defending this dastardly act, may God look upon you with same indifference and displace you from your highhorse and may he look upon you with the unkind heart you have looked upon this people... On another note, i wonder how i would feel as a Nigerian...supporting Fashola and condemning my people to penury and homelessness whilst an American...working with Morka would leave her American base to defend these same displaced Nigerians... Only means someting, once Nigerians are 'comfortable'...Others can go to hell! if you belong to this group, please learn from that American lady. 1 Like |

I have always said that "Government should have a human face". Lagos needs to be cleaned up, yes, but after "wiping out" these slums, what happens to the former dwellers? And please don't give me the "Lagos is not by force" nonsense. We know that many of these people that are sent parking are Lagosians. Which state do you want to drive them to? Many of the people on this forum don't live in such places, so it is not as if they have personal interests in this matter. All they are saying is that government should have a human face. In fact, I believe that the people who should be disturbed are these big men with their house-boys/girls, gardeners, cooks, car washers, nannies, wash men, etc. Are they going to convince me that these people have personal properties in VGC, Lekki etc. Of course many of them actually come from these slums. The sad thing is that when these people have no jobs or where to go to, what do they do? Many of them resort to stealing (not making excuses for them though). But my problem is that they transfer their aggression to you who drives your jeep and flashy cars on the roads. They will aggressively visit your houses(uninvited and mostly at night) because they see you(the ordinary middle class) as the cause of their problems. You are the government that they see. "You have it all but they don't"(stupid way of thinking but that's the truth). They will never think of going to Government House on the Island to vent their anger. We know that even when we cry that there is no security for us, governor's house is excluded. Abi, have you not seen the mean looking mopos that they have in such areas? Too much talk already. I beg government should just do something. Start with low cost housing schemes or something. 1 Like |

[size=18pt]I hate it for anyone to live in inhuman conditions. It breaks my heart to see humans living like dogs in the slums. But the worst is for people living in slums to have children in the slums and bring innocent children to suffer untold hardship. Nobody should be born poor. And that is the choice poor people can make by not having children until they can afford to provide basic things for their education and welfare. Any couple who cannot guarantee good education and welfare of children should not have children and should not be allowed to have children until they are financially capable and stable to start a family.[/size] 1 Like |

PAGAN 9JA: I will try for the last time to get this message through your thick skull: I don't exploit people. I tell them the risk they are taking. The "donations" are completely voluntary. I match people who need money and people who need an organ to live. In the case of a liver transplant, part of the liver is removed but the rest will regenerate in time. I'm doing God's work. It's your embarrassing prejudices that has made you narrow-minded. |

Tigerhead: What is wrong with you people? Why do you have so much problems with due process? That land was acquired by the federal government to house the people fashola is trying to evict. If some rampaging state government wants to shift them , they should go and meet the FG and tell them to move their tenants, YOU CANNOT INVADE A FEDERAL GOVERNMENT RESERVATION. I can just imagine if GEJ was to order solders into a lagos state owned estate to evict everyone their. these same fools would not let anyone hear anything. Ok and you think the federal government dont know of this situation ? You are not helping federal govt spoke man. |
