Wtf

MadamVanessa:


Fóolish illiterate commissioner

Your crass, stupid and roadside lifestyle forbids you to have any common sense. Learn to exercise your brain not your toto all the time.

Elebolo.

OlawaleBammie:


Is that ur defense now??

No single word for the person that built it to this stage at all??

Egton, ego sir......ego.

Ee ki n se omoluabi rara

The house was not built overnight....

sparko1:


I think this were you should understand the Nigerian concept, if they come and put a stop work, they will back channel and continue work, hoping they can change the state mind to allow it once it's completed or use the public to cry.

It can work in some cases, the government will then allocate land and compensation to them but this is clear violation.

The house was not built overnight, some of these houses took years to complete, see how complete the house is looking...

I wonder why we hate eachother so much, most rarely judge without putting sentiments, we're quick to nail a tribe, religion or political party supporters to a particular crime and offences. Well whoever built this and the buyers got it wrong. Peace be unto everyone of us we're becoming too bitter to eachother

Abagworo:
This is wetland not drainage. Come to Abacha road in Port Harcourt that's exactly how every empty plot looks. Wetlands are usually sand filled before being developed but I want to know why it is only Igbos involved. The best evidence to prove it wasn't targeted at Igbos is by publishing names of the property owners so that we know if national quota is represented.

Betond all these I advise Igbos to stop investing in Lagos but rather invest in Dubai or even Kigali if they are seeking bigger cities like Lagos. Whatever they make in Lagos should be invested elsewhere while they own nothing there.

Can you just hear yourself and read over again what you posted right there ?
How can you be this foolish ?
Whatever they make in Lagos should be invested elsewhere?
What if I told you that my big bro doesn't work in Lagos, he works in Ogun State, yet he built his house in Lagos... Who told you most the houses were built by the money made in Lagos?
This is where everyone is getting it wrong ?
How can you spend 100s of millions just to build on water ?
Stop playing the victim card and stop yarning nonsense, my greatest joy would be to see at least one person out of the hundreds of houses been demolished to come out with a government approval even if it was fake, so we can start to drag the government from there but I have seen none.... People were been given 7 days ultimatum but yet no one ever comes out to tackle the government with his document.....
Even if the government gives approval for all those buildings, they will still demolish all but only this time will there be compensation.. or else, in the nearest future the state Lagos, will be submerged in flood beyond redemption.....
Stop playing the victim card, I hate when we chose to put tribalism in everything we say here and it is disheartening...

LifestyleTonite:
If those houses are destroyed now, the "they hate us" people will say they are being targeted. But when the whole area is flooded as a result of no passage for water, they are always quick to mock Lagos on social media, saying, "see the Lagos Tinubu built."

Their latest tactics is to say that no building goes up without government approval, therefore the demolitions are illegal. Okay, provide the approval letter you got before you built on a canal like a ship, they go mute.

One word for those houses... Otilor

I don't see any where the tribe of the house owner is mentioned here. Be objective. It's been stated that demolishing of houses is not targeted at any tribe but to correct the menace of inappropriate building structures like this one. Don't be shallow minded.

PHIPEX:
Where were they when this foundation was layed?

This is a major canal not gutter, does it mean anybody can wake up and block a canal for several months yet the govt is unaware, it shows the corruption and inefficiency in the government itself??

So you think the number of taskforce workers employed to enforce building regulations can effectively cover the whole of Lagos State? They cant. They schedule visits to various areas and once such buildings are sighted, they put the stop work sign. You can't say you haven't seen those signs.

PHIPEX:
So you believe someone in this kind of neighbourhood will build from start to finish without govt approval?

Do you know the number of yahoo boys cashing out steady? Many of them can build such houses but won't follow due process. Due process is a waste of time. Due process could mean an investigation into their finances which could raise red flags. Fraudulent minds would never think of due process as they are wired to see everything with the lenses of money. Make this money and lavish it. Everybody has a price, Anybody can be bought, even the law. That is their own thought process. Otherwise Naira Marley & Sam Larry no suppose get mind dey befriend police.

Not only the owner. Whoever sells that land, whoever that approves to build on that land should be jailed. Let's judge things rightly.

Koralords:
The owner of the house need to be jailed

Brendaniel:

That's exactly what I mean, if you keep bribing the official, they will let you continue but if the land has an issue with the government it will come down eventually.

This is one of the reasons flood continue to ravage Lagos, the government must be very strict when it comes to urban planning, nobody must build a house or structure within Lagos without first getting an approval from the authorities.

Whoever bought those lands and built those houses should be killed!

Damn! How can people be so foolish!

The government is partly to be blamed. Where were they when it was being built? If they are pro-people they would have stopped it in the on set. They would on the other hand issue Stop Work notice on buildings that have no problems in other to receive settlement.

You are asking this question? Are you sure you live in Lagos?

Rebelutionary:

So you will take your hard earned money and act like the person who built that house because it was "approved" for you right? Nigerians sef! U blind? Is it the person that "approved" it that is going to live there with the inherent risk of flooding?

In any case I will tell you for free, nobody approved anything and the only question to answer is when is this building going down?

You sound like a product of an extremely failed state right at the bolded!

In a sane clime,the govt will even extend basic amenities closest to your property before approval is granted. then one can go ahead with building. .. whatever challenges comes post approval ,becomes their sole responsibility to deal with or relocate you somewhere safer.

If there was approval, I would say he did no wrong!

SonOfDSoil01:
so the person too was blind to see a canal and buy it? So you can blame govt but not the idiot that bought a canal and build? So when flood happens now you will start insulting govt…I think the flatness of your head is affecting your thinking process

You nor get sense at all I am pretty sure your head is round like coconut 😂😂

Give people chance they will build anywhere they like it’s the duty of ministry to checkmate those things and place banned, just Dey there dey mumu person fit buy 3rd mainland bridge sand fill am and build if the government nor talk

sparko1:

That's still a failure on the path of the government if they have bribe taking officials...

Sillymoderators:

What other side of the story do you want again after seeing that picture? Is the position of the building normal to you?

Never said it's normal, what I'm insinuating is folks ready to hop on the tribal bandwagon without looking at the issues critically.

This is one of the reasons why their are floods in Lagos, they should demolish that house now.

The govt simply leave u to waste ur money building it so dey can demolish it latter since the owner chose to be foolish just like mumu like u that won't stop dancing backward when the reality is clear

Where were they when the blockade was made and house built?

someone from LASG saw it, collected bribe and gave a go-ahead. we are not yet ready for this conversation

Lagos wey e be say, just to pack sand for one corner and buy bag of cement, task force people don already mark 'Stop work' the next day?

Brendaniel:


That's still a failure on the path of the government if they have bribe taking officials...

Yeah, but argument is a moral argument, none of that can safe the house from demolition.

Mr. Wahab you don't need to explain......demolish all those houses. We are in demolition season in Lagos.

This is what illiteracy looks like when it has money.

LifestyleTonite:
The Lagos State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, has shared a photo showing houses blocking the pathway of a canal in the state.

The commissioner shared the photo amid the controversy generated by the demolition of illegal structures, especially those encroaching on waterways in the state.

Its bcus of clowns like u whose only 'alibi' is to shout ''they hate us'' ''they are targeting us'' that's making him to do all these explanations.

Kossyso:
What's pushing him to do all these explanation?

So eyes is paining him abi??
Common Sense nor tell am say na on top canal e wan build house?

Na ur type go blame police for arresting ur bloda for drug trafficking and be asking them ''why didn't the police arrest them when they were cultivating/wrapping d drugs?''

If u like go build house on top 3rs mainland bridge, body go tell u.

Bigchristo:
What makes me angry most is that when this people start this building project why didn’t they stop the person? Nonsense people

Thank God say at least u get eyes, and u see say na on top canal e build house.

Advise him to take. Lagos govt to court if he get d liver.

No long story.

jojothaiv:
The dangers of one sided story.

Sadly, many have bought into the tribal sentiments flying around without probing further.

PHIPEX:
So you believe someone in this kind of neighbourhood will build from start to finish without govt approval?

which plan? Let them sue govt to court if they get documented approval

This is not about who to blame but what to do next.
Where were they is not a legal argument. It has no meaning in law.

Is there any year that government does not demolish buildings in Nigeria
They are here now ready to demolish that is what matters
Demolition happened in Abuja,Kano,Onitsha and every other part of Nigeria

Why is it only Lagos that you turn up to start asking foolish questions

We need to stop acting stupeed on internet space. What the meaning of where were they he was building. Are you acting dumb that with money you can do anything in Nigeria at the level where your money reach. You see many idiot on the road because they have one small power passing one way and they will settle at the front if anything. I have seen a building on a pipeline they allowed the man to build finish park in the next week they demolished the building to ground. We cannot be acting stupeed as citizen and expect something to change. Average Nigerians ways is short cut to anything that why bribery and everywhere.
