How much do you make in Nigeria and do you pay your taxes

I don't have a problem with Indians living in Nigeria, put I'm tired of seeing people of lighter shades getting a pass in that country because of the colour of their skin... The Lebanese people stay making billions from that country without giving anything back - and the Europeans have been doing that since time immemorial...

I hope you watched the Olympics in London on your screen and you probably was shouting high heaven when Usain bolt bolted away in that final? Do you know how many people were evicted for that Olympic park to be built? Those that couldn't meet the compensation requirement were relocated soonest to much less desirable place because the government wanted to rejuvenate that part of East London using the Olympic as a trigger.

Can I ask you a simple question? Was alternative made for those evicted or not? When did the state government first serves them notice of eviction? If none, why did they not go to court to sue the government? At least Fashola has shown He. Obeys court orders. Please answer those questions....

kross_01:
If you've bn to these places u mentioned, u'ld knw they all have their bad portions. What may pass for a shack in their area, myt b ok to us. Someone earlier in this thread talked about the location used for one of the olympic games being a slum b4 d gvt acquired it for tthat purpose but they wia well taken care of. They were given alternatives, they were not chased out of there with squads of mobile policemen.

You don't need to abuse him - there are thousands of Nigerians living in India as well...

Heck, their football league has a lot of Nigerians...

We can't separate Lagos from Nigeria.
We live in a poverty ridden country and Lagos is included.

Magacity project is just a pipedream.

hollandis:

USELESS ARS.E LICKER.I HATE TOO MANY PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY NOWADAYS

shy-mmex:
Sad....

However, the state definitely needs this to be able to achieve its megacity dreams... But those of them who are from Lagos should be given shelter and those who aren't from Lagos should be asked to return to their home states...

Boss13:

Oga India please I am not stereotyping but at this point I have to agree to this. Indians in Nigeria do not pay taxes, they are always making loss for 20 years they keep making loss. Why not close down operations. No they prefer to pay little or no tax at all. Also, we hear of the inhumane treatment perpetrated by Indians and Lebanese on their Nigerian employees. You might be different but these things occur.

In a way, this is true.

slim fit :


Why would you say this type of thing seriously just not necessary

shy-mmex:


It isn't a pipe-dream, a lot just needs to be done to make it feasible... If they can link the whole SW(including Edo) together through rail and good road network - and probably look for a way to move out at least 30% of the people in Lagos now, it should be feasible in the next 15-20years... The governor(and subsequent governors) just need to be heavy handed and follow a blueprint on what they want to achieve...

A-ZeD:


If they where giving quit notices, then the Governor did the right thing. Nigerians should learn to put sentiments aside. People build houses everyday in Nigeria without proper planning, if they get demolished, everybody says the Government is wicked.

Nigerians should learn to do the right thing.

all4naija: Primitive man!

Boss13:

Please you are becoming a nuisance. You can leave the forum and never return. The mods do not need your rant.

ichidodo: COME INDIAN MAN DONT ALLOW ME TO GRAB U.

U CALL ME SCUM AND YET U R A PARASITE IN SCUMLAND WHO IS THE BIGGER PHLEGM. INDIAN MAN WATCH URE BACK.

emmatok:

Lagos has been undergoing Dev since Jakande regime, but all was stop by new governments.
Do you think another government from another party will continue Fashola projects.

infolekan:

You seem too angry with the world or is it ur world which tells me you think the world is unfair & life isn't fair & God doesn't exist & all that BS people say when their life takes that all too familiar downward turn without any glimmer of hope or turnaround.....but still, you better pipe down & take a chill pill or else you'll just die off without making any mark in the world.
*advice from a faceless friend who doesn't care either you live, leave or die*

teetee123:



It is a pity that the demolition have to happen. I don't want to believe that this people were never given notice.
Sentiments apart:

1. Is there any legal documents for those structures
2. Is the place fit for leaving

If you are occupying a place illegally, you should not expect government to provide alternative for you. However, government and private sector should endeavour to provide affordable accommodation for all.

Neo-XVI:


They should have "offered them something" BEFORE making them homeless, not after. What are they supposed to do in the meantime? All these is because they are missing the central point: these people are humans, not dogs.
And Fashola should work with the legislature to make it illegal for landlords to demand more than 1 month rent in advance, as is done all over the world. That will help reduce the homelessness. The whole paying for 2, 3 years ish is totally absurd and makes housing more difficult to afford. They don't pay workers 2, 3 years salaries in advance, why should landlords demand that? It makes no sense. It's just greed.

SELFWORTH:

Either way, give them time to pack thier belongings. We are accountable to God in all that we do.

Demolishing without care for them or thier property is not what I would call good governance . It's only in Nigeria that people will agree that its ok becos the victims are poor.
