olabode89:
both of them are clowns.

At this point I will give Harry Amass a chance.

You want to kill omo eiye before he matures? Especially when you have United fans that are looking for who to blame?

Abeg allow Salah to score his hat-trick on AWB in peace. 😄

TrebleChamp:
Just 1 nil after half time, we are doing well...

14-3 aggregate.
We are doing well. 😄

larride:
Just play Amass like instead of playing Dalot at LB.

Didnt Klopp give Bradley a chance at RB when Trent was injured?

It does not work like that.

Bradley will be turning 21 in 3 months. Amass just turned 17.

Bradley is playing in a dominant team with good to great defenders like VVD and Konate to cover him.
Amass would have Maguire and Kambwala who is a teenager himself.

Bradley did not face someone of the quality of Salah on his debut.

Playing Amass today is a quick way of destroying the confidence of a talented youth player.

Bros na beg I dey beg na.

You don ever see me beg Una laidis

You go explain tire!

Seunpapa65:
😂😂😂 We go collect wenti no good u think na fa cup u use luck win

I wonder how you understand that from my post. I didn’t say anything about the result.

I just talked about my hope that Amass is not used at all for this match.

There are a rumours that 17yr old LB Harry Amass will be in the senior squad against Liverpool this weekend.

I pray they are able to keep him on the bench for the whole game. Salah is not the player that you want to make your debut against.

Ellexy:
Anyway good one from them, I just hope the senior team won't bear the brunt of this tomorrow.

What will be, will be. Let us party today. Tomorrow will look after itself. 😂

Ellexy:
Why did they allow them to score one
Their senior team ain't that merciful

It was a momentary lapse of concentration.
The game should have ended 12-0.

larride:
It seems our u18 sabi ball.

God no go allow them jam Erik Ten Agbako

Not it seems. Dey sabi ball. And they are probably the best coached Under-18 side I have seen us produce. I don’t think there is a Greenwood or Mainoo level talent but there are probably 10 of them who are a level or two below that,

Leyqute:
FT: 9-1.

Well done lads.

Now Liverpool can take their pound of flesh tomorrow. Hehehe.

Ref ended the match before 90 mins.

😂😂😂

9-1.
Job done:

8-1.

If you do anyhow you see anyhow.

7-1

Show dem pepper.

Fletcher dey use protractor draw his through passes.

6-1.

Scanlon is a cold blooded finisher.

Leyqute:
Nolan’s side is porous as usual.

The guy makes every winger he faces look like a world class talent.

Leyqute:
They are more than revenging sef 😀

You don’t know what the senior team will do. Don’t raise shoulder yet. 😄

25 mins gone and it’s 4-0.

Show them pepper because their senior team no go pity us.

TrebleChamp:
You are not even giving us a chance 😁, chai this team will not kee person...

We are 3-0 ahead after 15 mins. The Under-18s know that this is a pre-emptive strike.

Anybody wey dey bank on those senior players dey on a long thing.

Under-18s about to face Liverpool. Abeg they should take pre-emptive revenge for what Liverpool senior team is about to do to us.

larride:
Yes and the project belongs to the FG.

The compensation and all should be done by the FG.

If the land belongs to the state government then they have to handle it.

I don’t think FG can chase people away from the land since the land does not belong to the FG in the first place. They have to use the LASG to do their dirty work.

GloriousGbola:
I think this may be one of the reasons why land lease is preferred to purchase by businesses. To reduce your exposure

Yes, i think you touched on this some time ago.

But of what use to the Nigerian people is their government sef?
I mean is there any benefit at all? And is there any aspect of life where the government does not phuck its citizens?

It is like being in a horror TV series that is unending like Coronation Street.

BlueRayDick:
Yeah. But if I was in this Landmark owner's shoes I will first try and dialogue with the government to see if there's a way they can reroute the whole thing in order not to affect my investment that is providing jobs for fellow citizens.

If I get a negative response , then I will file for compensation ASAP and get an injunction restraining government from carrying out demolition immediately . If they decide to disobey the court order, no wahala . I will sha pursue my right go compensation to the last kobo.

Once I get the monetary compensation, I will never look back at ever investing in Nigeria ever again. I will face my business interests in other saner environment .

I totally agree. He is going about it in the right order. It is sad though that government can just wake up one morning and unalive a man's livelihood just like that.

There should be some limits and caveats to that land use act. If it is for really crucial purposes like environmental preservation etc, then it makes sense, but to be booting people out and making them homeless because of any silly government white elephant project is tyrannical IMO.

GloriousGbola:
You know the way when you buy software you dint actually own it, but merely have a license to use it?

By Nigeria's land use act any governor at his leisure can revoke your c of o. The best you will get is paltry monetary compensation that will not match the value of your investment.

We have lost entire stations to LASG because they had designated the land as required for some govt initiative.

It is a low-down dirty shame.

BlueRayDick:
I guess the slow pace of property related cases in the Nigerian court system is one major factor why property owners are majorly handicapped and discouraged from taking the legal route of challenging these government's callous attitude of taking over people's properties without proper compensation .

Just look at the the magodo land issue that became a serious Matter sometimes last year when the original owners of the land wanted to take over the land in accordance with a Supreme Court judgement after Lagos state had sold the land to innocent people years ago.

Could u believe that the case had been decided at the appeal court level as at 1996 in favor of the original land owner and then finally decided at the Supreme Court in 2012. Can u imagine how long it took from Appeal to Supreme Court level . Only God even knows when the initial case was instituted at the high court level sef.

I'm sure it's the grandchildren of the original land owners that are pursuing prosecution of the court judgement now. Those court cases take too long !

Exactly.

AFTER the case has been decided in court, the government can move in and carry out the demolition. They can then build their highway.
Highway construction is not an emergency activity like emergency Caesarean section. It can wait until it is sorted out.

Filing for compensation after demolition just means it is your grandchildren that will get the compensation, if at all.

BlueRayDick:
If Nigeria were to be an ideal society sef, the amount of compensation govt will pay to legal property owners along that corridor alone would discourage them from going ahead with the project .

100%.

With regards compensation , the property owners should tie them up in court first and get an agreement on the compensation amount before allowing their houses to be pulled down. Filing for compensation after the buildings have been pulled down is not the wise way.

I don’t know if class action suits is a thing in Nigeria. Dozens or hundreds of people affected can come together (if they don’t individually have the finances) and take such cases to court.

The wicked way government just callously destroys their own citizens’ homes and businesses in the name of redevelopment is crazy.

BlueRayDick:
Well, I don't know the backstory about how he got the land but I remember sometimes back reading his interview on how he got the place I don't think he got the place illegally cos even if Government don't have his time, the neighboring oniru royal family who owns the Victoria island would've dragged his asss long ago .

https://nairametrics.com/2023/05/06/meet-paul-onwuanibe-landmark-groups-founder-and-one-of-the-lions-of-the-lions-den/?amp=1

And I seriously doubt if government plans any compensation whatsoever cos the Lagos state letter to the company was silent about that

If he got it legally then he should get an injunction against the government, in order to postpone or put a halt to their moves.

Abi is there something I am missing? Can government just wake up one day and decide to demolish anybody’s property because of a new plan cooked up after the fact?


This is government of the people, by some people, against the people o.

BlueRayDick:
Izzou have u heard latest about the coastal highway ?

So Lagos state has been issuing notice to people with properties along the corridor where the road is to pass and Landmark resorts has been given a quit notice notifying him that the $200m resort will be demolished .

The man has come out to plead with the government to reroute about 1.5km out of the 700km so the property won't be destroyed . He mentioned how he got the land in 2007 long before there was any plan to construct any coastal highway so it's not as if he bought a land knowing fully well the government will demolish it one day.

The business employs 4000 Nigerians directly and 12,000 indirectly . Even if FG gives him compensation for demolishing his property ( which I doubt they will ) ; what happens to those people working for the company that are about to join the ever growing unemployed pool in the country ?

BlueRayDick, do you know the backstory?

Did he get the appropriate approval for his property?
Or did he settle people to illegally build on that land?
If he got the approval required, how are they able to give him 7 days to evacuate? And I did not see anything in your post about government offering the commensurate compensation.

BlueRayDick:
Hmmmm.... Na color of skin make me miss them sha. Gaddafi na god tru-tru.

Abacha get mentor, who knows he may have surpassed them if he had longevity

Don't forget Mobutu Sese Seko.

Africa is the Champions League of corrupt leaders.

BlueRayDick:
I don't think any president comes close to Abacha in Africa ; not to talk of Nigeria . Abacha na GOAT for looting

Gaddafi and Mubarak are gods of the game. Pound for pound sha (based on just ruling for 5yrs), Abacha might edge it.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Why una dey underrate Abacha like this? [/color]

1v1 nobody chop money reach Abacha but military government is inherently cheaper than civilian government due to the significantly smaller number of people certified to put hand in the national pot.
