I am not a fan of Tinubu or Sanwo Olu, I do not think they are the best men for the Jobs, both at state and federal, but for now we just have to bear some of their ineptitudes.

That said, Nigerians are always happy to break the laws, especially if they believe they have some "connections".

There are instances where ongoing properties have been marked with " Stop Work Order" and the builders continue even at a much higher pace.

In a reasonable environment, the residents of that vicinity who will ultimately bear the consequences of flood will alert the government and as a united community, will prevent the erection of these buildings along waterways.

We also need to realize that no govt, state or federal, has enough personnel to be everywhere, everyone is quick to say, "why did it take so long for the govt to wait for those building illegally to be told to stop.

We all know what is right and wrong, we can feign ignorance at our expense.

It is safer to buy land in a safer area, and make the effort to verify if the land is free of any encumbrances. It is better to do your due diligence and be sure you are not ignorantly sinking your money down the drain.

Many will leave liabilities for their children instead of assets. Because the children will not be able to inherit such troubled assets and by the time it is dawned on the owner, that the govt has to demolish such property, he may not be in a financial state to re-build again, he may have retired or become too old to build, such calamity tends to damage the mental and the physical health. The pain of moving from a land lord in lekki to a tenant in Ajangbadi can kill faster than Covid 19.

A word is enough for the wise, if you successfully erected illegal building in the first, second, third year, nemesis will always catch up with you sooner or later. It may be your tenth year that a new govt where you know nobody will come and destroy the building.

It is cheaper on the long run to do it right, than to keep bribing your ways to sustain what is illegally built, what if you die? Would you expect your children to keep doing it the same way?

I just realised you have no clue U can now foxtrot Oscar!

Who approved the building plan?
How much was paid to LASG for the approval?
Why is Tinubu's Bourdillon house, which clearly contravened the original Ikoyi masterplan not yet marked for demolition?

johnjose68:


Go and ask your grand father

chopnaira:

They usually do but the builders ignore.
While the below is FHA controlled demolition, same rule applies.

Check the subtitles in the screenshot below or you can head to YouTube the watch the the video.

Mandate1:
did you go and buy land and dey refuse selling to you?

DaTruths:
Why would LSG wait for such massive structures to be completed before swooping in to demolish it?

It would take nothing less than 6 months on average for such projects to be completed, and they didn't come there to mark it ❌ as to stop work?

Wetin concern me.

Sillymoderators shattap and listen attentively whenever the more intelligent and educated mandate1 is talking so you can become enlightened :

Don't use question to answer question.

chopnaira:



Show us the proof of the bolded allegation.



Even in sane climes, you would be asking questions about who approved the building plan.

chopnaira:

And in your myopic way of thinking, you don't think the builders went with court order to demolish buildings. You need brain transplant if you think the government never gave warnings and got court orders for the demolition.

In this Lagos, you can't even sack a tenant that is owning house rent without some court order.

The video above was shared by the Lagos State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, to showing the level of encroachment of waterways and canals by real Estate developers in Lagos.

He wrote on social media,

"A drone footage of the encroachment of the drainage channel on System 156 (fully built) Igbo-Efon to Ikota channel in Lekki. Red arrow indicator showing the extent of encroachment and total blockade and diversion of system 156 Into system 157 by the developers and property owners. All the structures were fully built on the setbacks and alignment which is clearly an alteration of the Drainage Master Plan along the area.

"We have served several contravention notices and enforcement will begin after the expiration of the contravention notices."

CJStarz:
Demolition without some form of compensation is nothing short of wickedness and vindictiveness.
God is watching.

firearcher:


Like you wrote before yourself... "IF" I have approval AND is on record...

Maybe they realize that they don't. Or why would you hire a team of lawyer to go and make a case you don't have?

I believe those who have a case will not wait for anyone to tell them to go to court.

christejames:
Lagos state will surely regret this...




Makoko that needs urgent regeneration is completely neglected for this cosmetic approach at development.





They should ask Warri

FreeStuffsNG:
You have rested your Lagos moniker

There are houses over 100 years old still standing in Lagos with no qualms. If you don't do the right thing, no matter how long it takes, you will face the consequences.

It's been days, weeks and months since they served them contravention notice, if you know what contravention notice means and how it works legally, you will not even ignorantly imply that those buildings have building approval documentation.

Build at the wrong place and be waiting for compensation

CJStarz:

But their building plans were APPROVED by the Government, right?
Or you meant to tell me they just saw empty lands and started erecting structures?
