eGuerrilla: Some perspective...

2500 hectares = 25 km² = 9.65255 mi²

9.65 square miles?

City of Sydney - 9.5 sq mile - Popn 182,226
Newark,New Jersey- 11.46 sq miles - popn 277,140
Pasay - 7.34 sq miles - popn 403,064 back in 2007
Manila - 14 sq miles - popn 1,660,714
City of Melbourne - 14 sq. miles
Lyon, France - 18.5 sq. miles - popn 483,000
Manhattan - 23 sq. miles
Miami FL - 35.68 sq. miles

Imagine what one person has! The immoral hankering for material gains at the expence of public good is disheartening... Aremu baba jaguda

NLders plz always wait a moment before saying anything plz. I seemed dont understand all these sort of fraudulent land allocation? Plz what do these people mean by fraudulent allocation of a land Guys to be honest in as far any issue in this country has an undertone of politics I will not belief all these sort of things at all.

And I bet it at the end of this all we will all see that all is about politics possibly a big lie if care is not taken and even its not a lie if care is taken I CAN SWEAR THAT THESE SAME PEOPLE WHO SAYS IT NOW THAT THE LAND WAS ALLOCATED FRAUDULENTLY WILL BE THE SAME PEOPLE THAT WILL ENDS UP SHARING THIS MASSIVE LAND AMONG THEMSELVES.

These was how El Rufai case sprang up till date where is the proof to back it up or what has happened since then and that same land were still given out fraudlently by those who who accused el rufai.

And I can read someone said in above thread that Tinubu also did same land fraud in Lagos and the next the silly NLmember will say is "Yoruba are slave to Tinubu" what does that need do with land allocation?? Why is it that some people in Nairaland reason like a mad man and just talk anyhow like someone with brain disorder?? God have mercy.

^^^ mhen, what are you saying

O God of Hannah and Saphira, please visit this nation with your mighty hand.

jst to add to this

The City of Sydney's annual income stands at $501 million and assets are valued at around. $4.5 billion.

imagine if that place was generating 20 million dollars yearly, se hin no go better?

economia: This the benefit of land use act/decree of 1978

OBJ had great vision then, didn't he?

OBJ serve himself not the nation.

Gov. Daniel failed from heaven to earth. Well, that the way of PDP people.

One nigeria is the root of our problem.

Yeah go ahead ape-man....own ur own f.u.c.king country!

Adenex3051: Abeg,make somebody tell me say this story na lie!Na complere local govt area OGD dash OBJ so.

And after the goody-goody and all the bobo-nice, what happened to his relationship with OBJ? Where is OGD today? But they never learn. The problem is that they leave their rubbish for others to clean after them.

PDP has to go!!! No other party could posibly be worse than this party. Give me any party besides PDP and I'd be fine. At this pointI'll even vote for APGA candidate if it will result to the ouster of PDP in 2015.

Some of our past leaders deserve to be lined up and dealt with in an unflattering manner.

Is ACN not doing the same in Lagos?

My Igbo people say that when an adult steals a toy from a child and raises his hands (knowing that the child cannot reach it), all that the child needs to do is wait, because the adult cannot keep his hands up for ever. Whenever that hand comes down, the child repossesses his/her possession. There is always the force of gravity to restore justice!
I suspect that there will be a lot of "give me back my toy you thief!" in different parts of Nigeria in the near future. Mark my words.

Just reading the article made me shiver. See land sharing like birthday cake.

greedy bastards. God's Judgement is Coming for them all either on earth or in the afterlife

Super1759: 6 plots of land makes a hectare.6 times 25000 is 150,000plots of land. Like he was trying to create his own republic

6 plots of land makes an Acre, about 2 acres and more makes a hectare

Hw com no 1 is quoting me na,dos is it mean am nt mekin any sence?

They should remember people like MKO, ABACHA etc. With all their wealth, they left this world with notting.

nkem Kalu: Where are those who said OBASANJO remains the best leader Nigeria has ever produced?...Can they still talk here now? I mean, this same OBJ called the senators ROGUES and I don't know what we should call him now....ARMED ROBBER? KPARAWO? ONYE OSHI? JIBITI? OLEH? ....I DON'T KNOW PLEASE GUYS SHOULD SUGGEST A SUITABLE NAME FOR SUCH A PERSON LIKE OBJ

My bro they have all gone into hiding

Serves him right. If every Governor and President amass hectares of land like that, where will the common man without connections build or live? Nonsense.

tessyade: Your calculation is slightly wrong. The report gave 2,500 hectares not 25,000 hectares (used in your calculation) but all the same thats too much.

In addition 6 plots approximately make an acre not a hectre (15 plots) so his estimate should be something closer to 37,500 residential plots of land.

Anyway I don't think that will faze Baba. Probably has more than that in Ogun state already and definitely ten to twenty times more than that all over Nigeria. He's one hell of a land freak. Perhaps due to his agri passions.

All parties/politicians do it. Tinubu is doing his own in Lagos and beyond. You only need to move close to the RE industry to get details.

juman: One nigeria is the root of our problem.

How is one Nigeria our problem? Most Nigerian leaders have shown that corruption has no ethnic leaning. The truth is: Obasanjo is the most corrupt Nigerian president. IBB and others from the North were merely despotic, human right offenders and illiterately corrupt; Jonathan is clearly incompetent and afraid of the powerful cabal. The Yoruba, Hausa, Middle Belt and Niger Delta have failed the nation woefully. Why dont we try an Igbo abi Ibo man!

Wonder why a Nigerian politician sucks; this is it

the lands should be returned to baba. Make he dey farm dey go.

Thats what you get from the PDP govt

He was the one that gave us GEJ. If he really wanted to compensate the south south with a competent leader, he should have picked Donald Duke who is a great administrator despite other flaws. But he picked GEJ because control was important to him, and GEJ could be controlled.

Also he handpicked Etteh, a hairdresser to be Speaker of the house. Thats says it all.

Other states shld follow suite and revoke allocation of lands to OBJ wia he had use d influence of his then post to acquire lands. Do i hear executive corruption?
