Notice was served and those affected alrready aware this.

So u think say e easy to find and move into a new house in 7 days?

They were given more than 7 days notice.

It is well

so help us God

I hope due process was followed most importantly.

The govt agreed around 30ft distance initially only to change agreement on demolition day to 90ft..words have it that the contract has been hijacked by the fg(fashola) which obviously accounted for a bigger road network..

SmattadHomes:
Saw it last nite. So devastating on those affected.

please will the road expansion from Lagos terminate at Abeokuta or where?

Tochex101:


18 months?
We all know thats fallacy.

You can only say that because you never pass through that road . The project is on course and I won't be surprised if it was even delivered ahead of the scheduled date.

pol23:
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?

they have C of O

Ifa just told me BUHARI is responsible for this

The only thing I can say is that other people on that road all the way to tollgate should be prepared. The demolition has the hand of fashola.
He has already said that the FG will reclaim all setback on its road.

It's within the power of state governments to take over people's lands and pay compensation.

Building close to a major road is always a risk. The govt can always come and claim they need to expand road and the landowners suffer the brunt. People need to learn to observe a minimum setback from the centre of road before building permanent structures to avoid this kind of predicament. Life is hard already, suffering a home loss makes it harder. It is sad.

I only hope after demolitions...d roads will be built

mannobi:
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

In your logic, 24 hours power is good, but government shouldn't do it because it would put generator and inverter sellers out of business.

The warri we knw before never had any dual lane except a single lane were @ some point wen driving u have to wait for a vehicle coming to pass before u ur self can drive through but after demolition of so many ouse along the road by ibori govt warri roads its now a new turn so pls allow govt dat re ready to work to do their work just for God to touch dier heart for compensation cos most Nigerians after building ouse dey will draw the fence to the road well ibori compensated not only in warri but almost every part of delta state that felt his development

7 days notice to vacate a home you build over 3uyears ago. Ambode have rendered so many People homeless and Jobless. Yes the only Governor that will serve one term. Even people in Apc are waiting for him.

7 days notice is nothing na , why are Nigeria government so wicked

DesireInnerWear:

In this recession, govt is still rendering people homeless

Imagine.

Very correct.
The challenge is whether the government pays adequate compensation promptly.

Are you sure that was all that they were given?
Were they not previously notified?

Beesluv:
7 days to relocate

notice dat we served dem since five months ago

With the demolition of houses at that axis, I can only imagine how wide the road would be. I used to think the buildings were far enough not to be touched. I pity GTB. Maybe they're taken unaware probably after going to court. The rate at which people were looting their things yesterday was high.

don't let us just blame the government. while in school I rented a room in the community baale's house. he said government most of the time have paid the omo onile who greedily resell the land. also an aunt wanted to buy a piece of land just to see an omo onile she once treated without payment there who told her not to buy it that it was slated for a market place by the government. nigeria is a well planned nation but the plans were not executed so many public areas have been sold out so when a responsible government wants to execute the plans please don't blame them. it's buyers beware go through reputable surveyors

AUTOCRATIC:
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

VERY GOOD QUESTION. UNFORTUNATELY NOBODY IN NL HAS D ANSWER

Go read the Land Use Act, it places all lands within a state in the hand of the state government. State government can take over any land it has interest in or whose owner fails to abide by the rules of the government. The government however pays compensation. Didn't you read somewhere the the Anambra State Government took over a piece of land bought by the FG?
