They're not igbos or Fulani.
They're all omo Odua Atata!!!

Sheuns:
Lagos is owned by Eguns and Aworis. Yoruba kingdom no pass Oyo.

We’re no longer in the 14th century.

chucks185:
It has become obvious the state government is mischievously targeting the igbos.

Why? Because they are scared of being dominated by the igbos.

The fact is the Almighty Creator is with the igbos and no body can stop them from shining and dominating,

AntiChristian:
Is it Lagos state government that'll provide toilets for them?

BondRiv:
Imagine the statement from the Vice President of Nigeria referring to an individual as an institution. What a reckless remark. Dangote is not an institution, and if he is the pillar of Nigeria's economic development, then I feel very sorry for this country.

marlow1962:
I no get problem with Lagos or their boat whatever. But is this what we need now?
Hunger, insecurity, dilapidated job opportunities, all manners of economic delays going on in the country, but na boat race we dy cheer?
Boat race but no job opportunities
Boat race but herdsmen ravage
Boat race but poor health care
Boat race but poor education
Boat race but stagnant development
Boat race but nothing tangible a whole self acclaimed giant of Africa can boast of.

Like let's tell ourselves the truth. How long we are going to keep defending trash?

SmartPolician:
If you left your country because it's not working, what justifies going to a place where things work and still get involved in criminality?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]A large number of Nigerians are very ignorant.

Someone is protecting the staff, they are complaining.

I never see these kind of daftness before.[/color]

aribisala0:
They don't have permits or approved building plans from Lagos State Government

Wallade:
You either didn't read this article we'll or you missed some information on it.

When I saw the demolition, I thought the same way. I was wondering why Lagos State Government allowed the approval and development of the buildings in the first place but the hidden truth lies in this article.

Obviously, the developers of those properties dealt and got the land acquisition and building permits through the Lagos International Trade Fair Complex Management Board (LITFCMB). They developers also felt the LITFCMB is an agency of a Federal Ministry, hence Federal Government.

Lagos State government must have communicated the disapproval to the developers but they must have insisted on continuing the projects even when Lagos state government is against it but they were relying on the authority of the LITFCMB.

What they chose to ignore is that the land and properties in Lagos are under the control and powers of Lagos State Government. LITFCMB is subject to the Lagos State government and the Authority of Lagos State government is superior to the authority of LITFCMB.

Besides, why didn't the igbo developers invest these funds in developing properties and land in the South East? Why the constant focus on investment in Lagos, yet when they encounter challenges, they want to blame the government of Lagos State.

MaziObinnaokija:
Rather Blame the owners of the demolished 🏠 🏠 🏠 🏠. I believe some of them cut corners/bribes those young men that carry Red/black spray paint to do wuru wuru.

Hedonisco:
I foresaw this kind of mess and that's why I strongly objected to any possibility of this Tinubu monster assuming power.

Before now, we know that having 'federal connection' was a sufficient counterforce to the madness of these terrorists that have hijacked Alausa.

Unfortunately now, Alausa is effectively the same thing as Federal Government. Very tragic. They have the full control to demonstrate and exhibit their tribalistic madness.

But time settles everything, and power must change hands in due time... And retribution is a must, however long it takes.

gabbytabby:
They are not falling Prey but like a lot of Nigerians are not carrying out their due diligence and oftentimes believe that more money will solve all problems sometimes it does not.

nwirinedu:
So borrowed funds are now revenue?
This Agbado kleptocrats will destroy the country's economy by 2027.

No real effort is made to grow the economy, they re borrowing funds to use for 2027 elections.

Putindbutt:
So, you want to use foreign reserves to eat or what? . God I beg o, the way you guys come online to embarrass yourselves, no be here

Kobojunkie:
Show us your mouth, let us see if you were born with anything better than what she was? 🙄🙄

Nonsense... you dey body shame her because she talk true... typically Nigerian .....🙄🙄

@ the bolded
una see sey na we Dey do ourselves

In basic term My mother should cook food finish in our house and sell it to our Neighbors
Why me buy food cook by my neighbors

CyracksMrBlogger:
When most Nigerians begins to hate a particular person, know that he is good and has good intentions. For example Dangote and Tinubu.

yang:
Dangote is operating in a FZE

Trade Free Zone

How much subsidy does the lost tax revenue amount to?

Or how much subsidy in the form of USD exchange rate does he recieve from CBN?

This man should stop trying to be PMS monopoly supplier in Nigeria

Live and Let live

He should refine and export others should refine and import

Let them compete on price, the Nigeria people will better for it

But i am convinced that Nigeria people prefer to suffer, they no like better thing

Salowise:
I never said Yorubas don't build, but they hardly build outside their place. If everyone builds in their regions, the South East will have the most beautiful place in Nigeria. I'm not saying this because I am Igbo, which I am not and never wished to be one. The truth remains that Igbos contribute significantly to the growth of wherever they reside. The Edos are trying as well, even though they don't have that much population.

overall90:
Abeg where is the food price crash?
Big bread is still between 1900 to 2000.
The price of noodles is still the same.
The price of Mango Rice is still above 90k here in PH.
The price of cardbury Hot chocolate just went up from 350 to 400 Naira last week.
So what exactly are they talking about?

Salowise:
Exactly, but this may not sound nice , Yorubas hardly build as well but they can live in better environment, do big businesses and still living in rented building(just few build). They are more peaceful but i wonder why they behave crazy online. Igbos and Edo's are tribes that can build anywhere. This is clearly my personal observation.

tunde1200:
If you say so point where you bury your father In Lagos if na no man's land as you claim.
We lagosian have our parents buried in our state compound.

Brightest04:
Here we will see the dramatic approach to this thread, which will definitely come down to tribal sentiment. We in this country, especially the recent generations has refused to see our problems as catholical and beyond boundaries, ethnicity, or religious beliefs. The only people who are a bit different are the northerners. But in the south, let an Igbo, Benin, Ijew, Hausa, Efik, etc, make a slight comment on any unhealthy situation that affect everyone in any Yoruba land, especially Lagos, the Yorubas will demand for his or her head or ask him to pack and go back to his region. And yet, we sing for growth. My honest question is, how is this going to come?

alanto:
Of course there'll be poverty in Oyo because of One Nigeria. One Nigeria collected over 200b Oyo VAT money and gave back 100b. Meanwhile One Nigeria collected 100b from all 5 SE states and gave them back 341b. But Oyo is not crying of marginalisation.

Lifestone:
To me these are excuses of a lazy mind. They always have reason why someone is more successful than them rather than figuring out how to plan out their own successes
According to news, Dangote Refinery was pitched to Rivers, Ondo, Ogun, and Lagos States while other State's Governors were demanding a share in the company, Lagos State saw the bigger picture, today they say is history.
Lagos has waged wars to make sure it is peaceful while other states permitted anarchy, unknown gun men, sit at home (all self inflicted) and yet crying why Lagos is successful.
Before independence, Ibadan was the largest city in Nigeria, highly successful business men trading in cocoa and industrial activities.
Its important for each state to build on their strengths and strike to be self reliant.

Jughead29:
Why is tax such the biggest picture of this Government?

Truly, the devil came but to steal and destroy.

You cant be taxing your citizens at the same time remove subsidy... It's total wickedness

erad:
The way a lot of you think is just toxic.

Do you think American inventors make everything in the US? Lol. Y'all are stupidly weird.

You build a prototype, send it to China since they have the machines already (and it will be cheaper than you just trying to build or buy machines for it's production) and they help with the production. Does it take away the fact that it's your invention? Y'all are damn negatively stupid.

aswani:
North North is North Central. Same as South South is South Central

tunde1200:
Lol. What would these sort of thread be without at least one negative and vitriolic comment from you bad belle lot.

It's just unfortunate events for you guys
