Always say what you know

Please was the land allocated for the road from the onset. Or is that the government is just acquiring the land for the expansion.

Yeeeee. Gbese re ooooo. What a price to pay. I really pity these people o. Especially that GTbank after paying 30ml to repurchase that plot from omoonile. Chai. Ambode should pls have mercy o. Bridge is good but people's lives and properties should also be considered too

Lagos and demolition is like...

In this recession, govt is still rendering people homeless

7 days to relocate

too bad hope land owners were compensated

They will be compensated well... M sure GTB have thier CofO, I just pity the commoners more.

Job loss again

adewumiopeyemi:
yeah saw it also in the night yesterday... i think the Government want to create a bridge around abulegba axis . which will be finish within 18 month i think that was why they keep demonlish house along the road

18 months?
We all know thats fallacy.

Idiots, heartless gov't. I hate seeing this

I tire ooooo

Ohh! I know that place...are they extending the overhead bridge to that spot

GTBANK will surely get compensated, but the commoner will get shoved!! Bullshit

A Minimum of One Month Notice would have suffice atleast. I blame the Nigeria government for this whenever they are constructing an express road they don't think futuristic in their approach. The construct will little or no room for expansion. Or would some here claim those buildings where illegal just to disapprove?

I no pity GTB.
Na other small investors go suffer am.
Btw: Do GTB actually bought illegal land or LASG dey use veto?
Big Organization like that 'll likely have C of O of all their landed property.
I'm just a Nairalander, What do I know?

I think they want to add two lanes after the bridge or so

DATS ONE MAJOR PROBLEM WITH SO MANY ON NL. THEY ALWAYS THINK THEY NO.

Notice how the halls of the two banks are empty during the demolition. Corporate organizations will not allow any of their resources to go to waste, yet the private individuals are collapsing in shock after getting a prior notice, albeit short.
I really sympathize here, but I think these people ought to have quickly moved their stuff before that time. We all know how insensitive the government can act during demolition, so one must not be caught unawares.

It was so unfortunate, but their is nothing anyone can do about it, even wema bank that charged lagos state government to court eventually could not win the case, they were given 24 hours to move their valuables, that was why it was not demolished as at yesterday. It's a big lesson for everyone to learn from, if you are buying a landed property, endeavor to visit the ministry of land and physical planning in your state to have an idea of what government have designed for some specific place. Law says any building on that road must move 100 metres away from the road. Aside that most of the building that were demolished does not have approved plan from the state government. Their is different between having C of O and approved plan... That area was designed for residential not commercial, those banks are standing their illegally. I stand to be corrected

bro the bridge will soo be complete oo i normally pass there everyday.. and i can see work in progress dere ooo
