Why is it always the same old story all the time?... The government claims they issued eviction notices, the traders claim they never saw any notice and then the government comes in the middle of the night to demolish. This trend is too common in Nigeria but who is really to blame undecided

dis is sad but ok if the govt act within the law.


dear fellow nairalander,I want to use this medium to appeal to the authority of nigeria immigration service to replace the entire contigent of batch 8 of its officers(JTF) currently in maiduguri borno state because the batch8 have overstayed beyond the 6months(they have spent 9months) they are suppose to stay and all the officers are not adequately cared for by army authority(7 division nigerian army) in maiduguri borno state.this crop of officers of nigeria immigration service did their best to their fatherland and they need to be reunited with their loved ones. pls share this important information.

Give Nigerians 10 years notice. They'll think you are joking. The only enforcement Nigeria understands is brutality. That's why it's only past dictators that can handle this country.

I don't believe d story that d Lagos state government did not give a notice of deadline for vacation from the market before the government embarked on this demolition. We should be reasonable in drawing conclusions. How will a Democratic government just wake up one day n just decides to sink d means of livelihood of d people that it's governing.
And if the Democratic government does otherwise, what will you do? I guess go to court where the Rule of Law will not be obeyed or shout..........

“Karma comes after everyone eventually. You can't get away with screwing people over your whole life, I don't care who you are. What goes around comes around. That's how it works. Sooner or later the universe will serve you the revenge that you deserve.” - Jessica Brody

In Lagos under 'One Nigeria' there seem to exist a silent economic war of destruction of livelihood, burning of markets in the middle of the night, extortion and harassment of genuine businesses by official area boys and street urchins, illegal/multiple taxing of business owners, in markets where Igbos operate e.g. Tejuoso, Alaba International and Ladipo. And now Oshodi electrical & electronic market.

Many of these attracious deeds are conducted at odd times when the traders won't be available to resist the dastardly acts.

Over the decades in the South-West, the Yorubas have systematically burnt Igbo shops as a guise to hijacking the markets from Igbos.

https://www.nairaland.com/2618835/hoodlums-shut-down-alaba-international

Prior to the 2015 general elections, amidst the threat by the lagoon crooner to drown Igbos, 18 Chisco transport buses were criminally burnt down in Lagos and up till date nothing was done to bring the culprits to book.

What does 'One Nigeria' mean?
A deceit where you are empowered to share my crude oil and wealth as 'One Nigeria' while I am considered a migrant to your State whom you're just merely accommodating and may perish in the lagoon at your command.

It is a chaotic situation where the Oba of a place would invite the representative of a people for discussion in his palace as regards a market leadership dispute only to set an ambush for him and unleash hundreds of thugs to flog and disgrace him.

It is an unjust situation where you're licensed to use foul means to destroy my business in your State with outrageous taxes. You can close my business premises at will while your elites continue to shout 'One Nigeria' to cover up the evils and injustices prevalent in the land. And you still expect me to be docile and continue to suffer silently as your hate and envy for my progress soar high.

Now, do you have any case for unity - fake or imaginary?

If you have there would no need fooling and playing to the gallery and shouting 'One Nigeria'. Or have you ever heard 'One Great Britain', 'One United States of America', 'One Germany'?
That shows that something is fundamentally wrong which many have been shying away from.

Is it a crime for any person/group to choose to opt out of a relationship?

Strange bedfellows, with irreconcilable value systems that are at best suitable for the individual selves, are not meant to be together! The 102 years of existence attest to that verdict!

Victor Hugo once said "no army can stop an idea whose time has come" and that "one can resist the invasion of armies but not the invasion of ideas". 

Another senseless post from a chest beater.

If this guyz become pickpockets or kidnappers this same government will say why can't they go and look for legitimate jobs to do.Now that they are doing a legitimate business the apc govt is destroying their businesses.There is a space of unoccupied land just beside that market if govt truly claim they want to use the demolished market for brt parking space.Tinubu and apc have not forgiven the ibos for not voting for apc governorship candidate in 2015 election.

Put yourself in their shoes.If a landlord give you a quit notice,will you park out if you have not found another apartment? Be sincere.However,i don't believe they were informed before the demolition took place.Otherwise,they wouldn't have traveled for the Christmas holiday.Is this the lagoon oba of lagos said he would threw ibos into if they didn't vote for Ambode?This is not democracy.

Very welcomed development, Ambode is working.


He must demolish all the other markets, he must not stop until the last market is demolished.



If Ambode ever stop demolishing markets, then they will bury him in the market that day.



We have told them to set up business in the East and leave Lagos.


Ambode make all of them return home. U HAVE MY SUPPORT, DEMOLISH ALL THE MARKETS.



Sebi they talk say "lagos na no man's land". I sympathize with them though

you sabi. I remember when same thing happened in Abia State, the main market in Umuahia_ notice were given, the new market though not fully functional was ready. They refused to go there, that it's too far, one trader even told me that "dem no born the Governor well to demolish the market".

The day the man had enough, he refused to extend the grace period, positioned military men and brought that market down. They started crying that they weren't given notice which was all lies.

I don't like T.Orji, but that was the only good thing he did as Abia State Governor to me.
