I doubt the claim that they were not given notice!

amerengues:
This is obviously a sad one. For those who find delight in other people' misfortune, RIDE on. Though they might have been notified of the consequencies, but u will agree with me that if you have anyone in this misfortune as some close to u, u will feel for them.
Secondly, the issue of tribalism doesn't come in here. They must have been warned but what detest about this ugly saga is the millions of investment vandalized in the process of change.
Would u be happy if it were you? Coming back from home in a new year.
I understand that this "Change" must be at the expense of somethings. However, their Investment should have been save.

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.u will forever remain foolish

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.

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 be 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!

HIPROFILE:


I look into the eyes of most Yoruba people like you and I see flaming hatred for the igbos it's unfortunate but one thing is sure my brother.... if u like destroy all the market in Lagos where d igbos operate their businesses U can't stop their progress. they're destined to be successful. if the civil war did not stop them from spreading abroad progressively and compete gallantly in all ramifications then I dant think destroying their business will stop them.
you have from time immemorial seen the igbos as traits nat because they are harmful but because you sure know you lack whatever it takes to compete with them.
it's been proven that over decades now your people suffer IGBOPHOBIA. Self inflicted envy and hatred for the igbos but one funny thing is... the igbos knows this but they no dey look your face... they keep soaring amidst your hostility. if they leave Lagos for you, u will never flourish because you are lazy, envious, backbite and arrogant. how would they even look your face when they know you even unleash these same evil habits upon your fellows how much more one from another tribe. These are success limiting factors and they are inherent in you, we all know that.

These are jast for your hate speech.


Well as for the market I sure know and believe Lagos state must have issued several communique to the effect of their relocation because I learnt a new market was built but negligence and nonchalance I believe ruled over them probably they were considering the effects of relocating to the new place. but then this time of the year is really a bad time to do this. my heart goes out to those who must have lost their life investments to this. it's nat easy but jast know that you are igbo WE NEVER SAY DIE WE MULTIPLY.

IF SOUTH AFRICA COULD NAT STOP THE IGBOS................

Lifestone:
Despite all the issues you've raised above, Igbo race has prospered more outside their Land than they do in igbo states. The point here should not be seen as targeting Igbo markets, it's about we Nigerians obeying lawful directive. its a confirmed fact that notices were issued. The smart thing to do here was to have approach a court of competent jurisdiction to protect your rights, since this wasn't done you expose yourself to damages as it is in this present case.
Stop playing the victim.

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

GreatSE:


Shut up, did he make provision for alternative,....all Lagos Gov has been doing is chasing Igbos to go develop their undeveloped locations and chase them away after, is it only the Electronic shops in Oshodi that require demolition, what of the Area were Yorubas sell Agbo and where your area boys sell weed because thats the only business they can do

Ur wrong..
If they all go home then they will become richer.
They will now HV more man power to produce more things n will export them to foreign lands.
Your hate will eventually turn more Igbos into super billionaires.
Don't u know it is exactly what happened during boko haram menace?
They went back home from the North n had more man power n now they r producing even cars n rice.
What u shd be thinking of now is how to keep them from going back home so that they will not become an economic giant n over ride us all.

U know they r capable of overshadowing us all.
We must retain them in our lands to prevent such from happening.

NakedEve:



You surely don't HV eyes to see the spirit realm.
I am from the water.
I also have air spirit and I must tell you that anything that will make Igbo's united economically will shake our kingdom.
Their star as a tribe is so bright that it blinds us.
They r a giant.
That righteous man sends giant angels to guard Nidigbo because of what they r destined to be.
We see the giant angels n get annoyed!

In the spirit realm it has been seen that in the period of waning of the religion of that righteous man up there, that the Igbo's, Ijaws, Itsekiris n Urhobos shall team up n work together n cause a shaking revival in Europe.

This though will be spearheaded by Nidigbo.


It is destined that there will be a major shaking that will make them go back home.
And so we cannot allow Igbo go home cos they will then become an economic giant.

From here they shall spring up n become so great that with their funds they will shake Europe with the message of that righteous man up there.

We must do everything to keep them scattered in other parts of this country so that they will loose focus n never achieve what has been purported for them.

This Lagos govt thingy will just push them further to their right destiny.

Mtschew.

Stupid Lagos govt.

Crownvillar:


You have highlighted a very important observation which is valid. In this particular case and others, it is difficult to identify the party to blame. However, if the government did issue eviction notices, they should have gone a step further by publicizing this on the state radio, TV and any other means of communication via the State Ministry of Information.

For example, in Jan 2016, you decide that a market has to go. Go to the market and issue quit notice for say, the 6th June 2016. Carry along all traders and market leaders reminding them of the deadline. Publish this in the Newspapers and run regular reminders on the State TV and via radio jingles. On the June 6th, visit market again to remind them deadline has expired and demolition can start at any time. 7th to 9th June increase media campaign to remind anybody still trading there, that they do so at their own risk, as the deadline has expired. On the 10th June move in with bulldozers.

Of course, all of the above should be underpinned with a concrete plan beforehand for an alternative site where trading can be relocated to.

xtrorp:


It has been your grand plan to ensure your callous, lopsided citing of federal infrastructures and investments in the SE.

For over 45 years the plan by the government to rehabilitate and reconstruct the Eastern region via Gowon’s 3Rs was diverted to Lagos, Abuja nd other regions for deliberate and obvious reasons.

But that has not made you lots fare any better than the Igbos despite your numerous, unbridled treasury looting of the commonwealth. The Igbos pride themselves as having the highest concentration of middle-class citizens while squalor and penury pervade your enclaves.

You can continue hiding your head in the sand of hypocrisy and mischievousness to your shame.
