Na to go there bribe them as usual. 'For Regularization' my ass.

Not only in Lekki. People just come together and mount gate on the road and start calling it estate to deprive access to the road except those living inside the street they now called estate .

While dealing with Lekki phase 1, they should not forget Idado, Osapa, Chevron,
some of them are even building walls to block roads.

How i wish Governor Makinde will do the same thing in Lane 4 at Oluyole Estate, Ibadan. Residents of that street planted a gate that is permanently locked thereby subjecting tenants of adjoining streets to do a rigmarole trip before accessing their houses. Very annoying!

Nice one from d Lagos State Government. There is dis shikinnni estate in my area, where the landlords use to lock d hatey during d day for some days. They open it only just to ease their own comfort..... The biggest house in d estate doesn't worth 15m, yet there yanga pass those living @ judge quarters

MarketDispatch:


The law is clear. Leave it open during the day, and lock at midnight with security in attendance.
. Most people lock during the day preventing passage and that is why Government is removing the gates.

Is that what govt told you as agent or as a resident? How many Security do govt even provide? Right away in Ojota- Mile 12-- Just two days ago,in a broad daylight, many road users abandoned their cars,heavy roberries were taking place- during Daylight o!
Where are your Security?
Nosense talk!
My able governor Sanwo-Olu,please,and please, don't go on vendetta o, because it makes you to be one of the old Governors but stop only what is bad!
If the CDA Residents are not complaining, they can maintain their Private Security, please,show them support,as that is legal, afterall, protection of lives and properties should be a joint effort!
Besides,let ever street in Lagos State have Street Lights as a way to reduce invation of night Marauders.
God bless Lagos State.

Where were you lots when the likes of Sir Louis Odomegwu Ojokwu bought swathes of marshy lands and developed it into the VI that is known today? What about Festac-who are those responsible for it present state of human habitation?

Who are the major population contributing to the economic development of Lagos @ present given the tax remittance, business ventures(Autoparts, Alaba, Tradefair, Computer Village, Oyingbo etc)? Tell us where you belong in the midst of all these apart from polluting the cyber space with gibberish everytime? Meanwhile,

Do you know what your problem is? It is being clannish, being devoid of objectivity and being unrepentantly sentimental in your opinion up there. A number of South Easterner allow nepotism and undue sense of entitlement to govern their reactions to national issues when something as simple as striking a balance in multi-ethnic and polytheistic country as Nigeria is will ease tensions.

Look deeply again at the picture you uploaded. I helped you to re-upload it for easier analysis. The poster of that piece' name is Femi Ogunsanwo. He reported on the fact that the alleged arsonists are Yorubas. This is in order to disprove the widely held opinion that non-yoruba actors commited the arson. I wonder if you would be that objective if the roles were reversed.

Yet in your "sensible response", you felt that claiming that Ojukwu "bought and developed mashy lands into VI and Igbos developed Lagos to what it is today" just to spite the same yoruba guy in your post that vindicated Igbos is your next line of reaction. You must think that you are smart. The same way some of you shamelessly claim that Lagos is a no man's land, yet you would not accept Onitsha (which has an undiluted historical connection to Yoruba empire) being called a no-man's land.

In the same breath, you backed up your clannish and bigoted response with the non-sentimental, unbiased opinion from a Yoruba man. Have you no shame? How can you be so insensitive and diabolical?

At a town hall meeting In 2009 the Lagos State Government announced a policy on gates on public roads. It decided that street gates could be erected by residents, but they can only be shut between midnight and 5am and they must be manned by private security personnel who would open the gates for emergency service personnel in case the need arises. See here http://www.tundefashola.com/archives/news/2009/01/27/20090127N01.html

The government once again ordered the removal of unapproved street gates late last year. See previous thread here https://www.nairaland.com/6299341/lagos-orders-removal-unapproved-street

The government has now started removing street gates that are closed during the day.

Nice development. The street gate in my neighbourhood has been under lock and key for over 2years. The discomfort has been unimaginable. You can't invite guest to your house.

Kudos to the Lagos state Government. I hope Rivers state government can take a cue from this.

Racoon:
Why removing them since most of the security concerns in these feeder roads are mainly being shouldered by the estate residents as is far as security of most parts of Lagos is concerned.

Read again, the focus ain't on gated estates but ordinary residential areas within which are government (better put, public) roads. If all areas lock up the access roads going through them away from the public, how will those in the practice access places other than their residence Estates have rights to gate their areas as they build the infrastructure within them themselves but not streets built by government. Understand the context of argument before jumping into the discuss.
