Neo-XVI:


How dumb can you be? You come with a claim that Fashola said this and that and expect me to believe without asking questions? If you are a sheep, please don't assume we all are. That is the reason the country is so messed up, cos no one ask questions. How can you claim Fashola said they will build a thousand housing units for those folks, meanwhile they demolished their houses without even documenting those that lived there in the first place. I'm supposed to believe that? So when the houses are completed, how will government know the people that lived there before without any documentation? Can you now see how dumb you are?

If there's documentation, tell me there's one. If not, please stop quoting me if you have nothing sensible to say.
I posted the link to the full story and stated that clearly. It was too long to post here. Sorry, I'm not a government azzlicker.

babyosisi:

So where do the natives in those areas go to when Fashola decides to demolish their slum homes that the family has occupied for generations
Do you get it now @ shymexx?

babyosisi:

And there are no slums in epe inhabited by people like you?
Do u get it now?

Neo-XVI:
It's a good thing to have an ambitious governor that wants to develop lagos fast, but it shouldn't be done on the backs of the poor. Leadership should have a human face.

babapupa:
Relax, I got your flow. It doesn't matter what they say or didn't say, you still wont believe them because believing their story means you are accepting that you allegations are baseless.I know people like you.
At least we've gotten to the bottom of your false story and allegations and all your baseless lies and gra gra deceptions can not change that.

shymexx:

Who's this girl on about I put it to you that the state governor will NEVER go over there to destroy their homes there... That's there ancestral village and he can never dare try it...

The slum dwellers are illegal occupiers - peep the difference...

And people like me don't dwell in slums, however, I can't say the same about people like you... We don't occupy illegal lands, we live on our ancestral lands... Even the brits got a bit of our wrath when they tried it - waterside Ijebu people don't joke around, we're warriors!!

babyosisi:

And the people of makoko were settlers ?
Some slums are allowed and others are not?
The natives can live in slums and others are forbidden from doing so
Are you making any sense at all
If Faola's aim is to beautify Lagos,why would he leave out the slums of Epe where your family comes from
Una and dorty don reach agreement
Una sign covenant?

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.

Billyonaire:

I never wanted to laugh, but couldnt help myself.

Prof Corruption: Lagos is not for everyone same way LA, NY or Miami is not for everybody. I believe government should have human face but not at the same time should not condone illegalities.Developing shanties is not a way of life. The government was generous enough to have issued several warnings and notice alike before eventual demolition.

The message is clear, people should obey law. Don't build shanties under bridges, don't marry five wives and build "a room and a parlour" under bridge.
Lagos is moving, sacrifices must be made. Not many know the history of present day VI. Some folks were evicted years back.

But all the same, I still have reservations on how it was implemented.

Billyonaire: There were provided alternative residences.

babyosisi:

Many of these people arguing are just out of their teen years and some are actually teens
So it is hard to get them to reason appropriately

Neo-XVI:


Lol. I'm not the reporter who wrote the story. Go take that up with the new york times. You're a paid govt hack and there's no arguing with you. Provide an answer to this simple question: did they document those that lived there before the demolition, so that when the units are built those folks can go with an ID and get an apartment? Yes or no, Mister?

Please remove the fake pictures jor

Lagos state has in the past provided low cost housing when homes where demolished
Even though those areas are now ghettos and need demolishing today rofl
E never start
If Fashola truly wants Lagos to be what he desires,he needs to level 90% of the state

[size=28pt]He should wait till the rains start
Lekki will turn into a floating slum[/size]

Now it's to blame your lies and deceptions on the NYT? What about you getting to the bottom of the story before yelling up and down NL criticizing left and right, even when corrected. Like I said, I know people like you, your main issue is the same anti Lagos Fashola issues we see on NL everyday so it makes no sense to take people like your seriously. The answer to your question is in the same article on this page that you wont read and get educated.

Just learn to get your facts straight next time because you are not talking to dummies..

Urine: Nigerians and drama! You all hide behind your computer screens feeling like e-governors. Argue from today till tomorrow the deed has been done, if you feel strongly about this issue or you think it's an act of injustice then go to the court like Mr.Morka. It's simple,the court is the only place this action can be judged as right or wrong.

100% noise 0% action.

FXKing2012:
Have you bothered to research how Malam El Rufai transformed Abuja thus making it a Nigerian city to be proud of?

Prof Corruption:

The aged sinking grand ma, how are you doing?

Lagos is not for everyone and self victimisation won't even count as an excuse. Don't break the law and then shout " I am poor", the government should pity me.
If you have a "proper" house, LASG is liable to pay compensation and if not, can be rightfully sued to enforce or extract such commitment. But when you heap illegalities upon illegalities, endangering their own lives, defacing the environment and then shouting " can't they see I am poor?" when the law is being enforced. Haba! It's called self victimization.

Well, I expect some folks to make noise in one or two weeks but after that? Lagos is moving.

babyosisi:

Tomorrow there will be threads


Teenager kidnapped
Lagos banker goes missing,body found in Ogun state
Man carjacked and shot in the head
Woman used for rituals
Gunmen invade a home VI

Guess who the perpetrators are?


The same disenfranchised poor
You can't get away from poverty and the effects

Neo-XVI:


Lies
Still no answer, all blah, blah, blah. You're a waste of my time. Ciao

“It’s a regeneration of a slum,” he said. “We gave enough notification. The government intends to develop 1,008 housing units. What we removed was just shanties. Nobody was even living in those shanties. Maybe we had a couple of squatters living there.”

Urine:


I get your point all I'm saying is that arguing on-line or anywhere doesn't solve the problem the only solution lies in the court of law.

babyosisi:

Most of us here were not evicted by Fashola and have no dog in the fight

babyosisi:

Otu Nne gi

babyosisi:

Most of us here were not evicted by Fashola and have no dog in the fight
Doesn't mean we cannot speak out against injustice where we see it
If that is the case why comment on any topics here?

Urine:

Of course you can comment,your freedom of speech is guaranteed. Ask yourself this question, if you comment here and argue till next year will it change the government's decision? In what way have you helped the people affected? Sis, that's the way this new generation should start thinking.All we do as Nigerians is to talk,talk and talk. When are we going to start acting?
