So Fashola should start giving them free accommodation as a reward for illegal occupation of land that isn't theirs abi??

Nice reward for illegality because they're poor....

deeptesting:

Young man nobody is laying claim to the purported land and nobody is saying slums should not be developed, what we are saying is government responsibility towards its poor citizens who lives in slums...keep your bigotry at home and don't bring it to a public forum, you think everyone in the slums of Lagos are non-indigenes? We also have Lagosians living in slums...drop your myopic view of issues and embrace looking at matters from a wholistic perspective as it affects Nigerians.

John Frankling: ok, he should build the flats first

iresearcher:

Do you know what 9,000 is? You guys just brandish figure to generate pity.
BTW, I have not in anyway supported anybody but only asked questions.
Some of these places, even you cannot enter or go look for someone.
Stop claiming one activist that you are not

Gorrbachev:

I do not remember when Lagos state became the federal government of Nigeria.

iresearcher: This is my argument.
I have a land somewhere in a city.I leave it unused for some time
You go to the land and erect shanties,slums etc.I come back several years after
and I ask you to leave because I now need my land to do something meaningful then you start
crying blue murder.
The truth be told, provided you did not buy the land and it is not your inheritance, you
do not have any claim to it whatsoever.
It amazes me how some organisations make noise out of nothing. Even outside of the country,
despite the fact that the land is yours or your inheritance, you are still told what and how to build
on it because there is a master plan. If you left your village without penny, what do you expect
in the city,inherit someones land or property?

Please lets use our brains before we make comments abeg.

naija_swag:

I didn't post it for a low life like you or anyone to quote. I see you are very vexed about it. You can jump into the lagoon. This is reality. You shoot yourself in the foot and you bear the pains.

Yorubest: It's Don Fashy again

When you hear the kick

Enemies can hate but we don't have time for emotions and frivolities

We are born to industrialize our region

We are born to develop our land

We are born to build and build we will until every slum created by invaders become model cities for Yorubas and developed humans world over to inhabit and work

Egba girl: I just wish we could have discussions/arguments without adding sentiments and all this emotional, tribalistic, and religious nonsense. Enough of these silly arguments that focus on the poster and the points he/she raised. Na wa o. Smh

Thank you Naptu2 for your input o jare. Instead of some people to read and understand better...

ba7man: If you can't afford to live in Lagos, move elsewhere. Its not by force.

So the whole Nigeria should remain one big ghetto because of the poor??

Don't feel confused when some posts screaming "Anti poor" get lots of "likes"....there are more people that lack common sense in Nigeria and the world than the few that do.

There has to be sacrifices for progress to be made. This is one of it.

PointB: This Fashola is a smart guy. Here is his modus operandi

- identify the poor guy

- render him homeless

- arrest him

- detain him in camp for a long time

- dump him by some road side in another state

- call him destitute

Lo, people, another evil genus is born. His name - Fashola!

ba7man: Why don't the anti-poor activists online take their cries to the FG on why 75percent of Nigerians are poor and stop ranting that Fashola should provide housing for the dwellers of one of the largest slum collections in the World.

Is he Jesus?....or the United Nations??....or world Bank??....or even the Federal Government??

He's just a Governor in one of the 36 states in Nigeria.

anonimi:

I wonder how this your argument will stand in the eyes of the relevant Nigerian laws on landed property.
How do you think those who FIRST claimed a particular piece of land did so?
For how many years can you continuously occupy land WITHOUT anyone challenging your OCCUPANCY for you to claim it as yours?

Maybe property lawyers can help out.

malc619: LASG isn't father Christmas. Why do people expect LASG to take care of miscreants and destitutes from the far-flung corners of Nigeria??

If Lagos life is too hard for you, go back to your village, start farming and start living like a human being.

Most of these people prefer to live like animals in Lagos than to live like a human in their states. Very pathetic..

GboyegaD:

Some of them have appropriate title document and besides, it was a relocation by the government. So it isn't everybody living there that are illegal occupant.

ollyboi123: We want better Nigeria but u all can't stand the hardship that comes with it ... We all need to Change for Nigeria to change well done Gov F .. Demolish all the ghetto if possible ...Lagos is not meant for everyone ... Go back Home

emmaelectelect:

Ur argument implies that the FG should have removed all the Bridges it built in Lagos when it was moving to Abuja
This guys Govt. depicts elitism which Average Nigerian that don't steal cannot afford
For Example I dont know how a truthful Civil servant in Lagos State Ministry with Min wage of 18000 will afford LASU with school fees of 250K while in this same contry a state that has less its potential gives Free Education

anonimi:

The FG is not the only arm of government, please.
How much of the services to be provided by the states and LGAs are being provided despite collecting monthly allocation from the federal allocation i.e. Niger Delta oil revenue
Providing such services would employ MANY people and give them the minimum salary rather than just siphoning money away under different guises and even taking loans!!!
