₦airaland Forum

They initially set out to build the country........until some started scheming for power and they ended up abandoning the Nigerian project to fight for power through coups for decades.

My goodness! I can't believe this response. It's been a while since I comment on Nairaland because I usually ignore many takes here due to tribalism and ignorant submission, but I can't just wrap my head around what you're trying to say here.

The judgment by the Apex court was clear that the families who were fraudulently, violently, and unjustly disposed of their ancestral lands and houses should be given in order of priority allocated or re-allocated, their preferred first choice of 549 plots of land in Shangisha. It stated it clearly that it should be the same Shangisha which is now known as Magodo.

If you want to settle them, you gave them plots in faraway Badagry, which is an insult to them, and in Ibeju Lekki. Some of them disagree and in response, you think threatening them is the answer because in your view the current occupants of Magodo are rich and the mighty of society. Is it because these families are not among the famous landowners in Lagos state? Or because they are "nobody" in the scheme of things in the state? Would they have done this to Ojora or the Idejo families of Lagos? I remember when Ojora families were settled for billions of Naria and other compensation on their already developed land in Apapa after they won a long battle at the Supreme court against the government.

If you want to know there was an injunction from the court in 1990s restraining Lagos State in allocating this contested land because it's being litigated in court. Why did the previous Lagos state government go-ahead to sell and allocate these lands?

Because the landowners wanted the allocated plots in their land they were beaten, mal-treated out of not another place, so they should be "off" (killed or shut away) right? Then they better kill all the families' generation. It's the same attitude against these families that led the Adeyiga family and others to insist on their land.

Why can't they negotiate and bring them to the table, and try to persuade them to monetize the judgment? At least the family's lawyer has said all options are on the table. And for the record, the families have no business with the so-called the mighty and the rich of society who reside on these lands. The current occupants should go and seek redress with the Lagos state government who awarded the land to them and granted them C of O and other documents on the land they were told to hold on until the matter is decided in court.

This current Lagos state government should just try to do the needful and make sure everyone is happy by using wisdom to bring everyone to an agreement or else, if these families should go back to the Supreme court to seek more clarification and redress, then it will be more brutal for the current occupant and LASG. All this "gra gra and bigmanism" would lead to nowhere.

All I'm saying is be very careful when going against over 500 people that have access to resources..... especially when they weren't the defaulters.

Accept a settlement, the court order is your bargaining chip...... but rolling up unannounced with bulldozers will get you into big trouble that the supreme judge that passed the verdict will run when the gbege burst.

Ecne:
Kai! This is very wicked oooooo, just imagine the tables were turned in this case, how LASG would have moved to demolish every structure there, even without a High Court's judgement.
No wonder Nigeria is still backwards, and will remain backward for a long time with these types of mentalities.
God forbids.

Settle or else you'll be settled. The Chief has been offered parcels of land in other areas but he's adamant it's Magodo he wants.

Intelligence and tact is required when dealing with an association of 580 landlords who's individual networth is roughly a minimum of $500k.

allcomage:
You sound like buhari a dictator and a nepa certificate. Don't you know that his children will pursue the case if the chief is late? Oya go to African shrine and drive fela children out. If we must build a strong country, our laws and courts pronouncements must must be respected. Lasg should demolish the place and allocate to Landlords and compensate them. Some said land is between 75m to 200m, alternatively government should pay them the present value with abeg, no price is too much to compensate for injustice done to a citizen.

You are simply a dreamer.

You think it's one village land that's at stake here??

Even village land issues, dem dey off people.

pappilo:
Exactly. The judgement was since 1993 o!. The only way they can compensate the landlords association appropriately is to give them the cash equivalent of 549 plots in Magodo at today's prices

549 plots x N75M which is about N42B

This can never hold. Magodo lands are expensive today because of the state govt's efforts at attracting well heeled people to the location and infrastructural investments.

Shangisha and Ketu are also affected by the value of Magodo due to their proximity, the spill over of value helped increase their value.

Without this govt attention, that area would be another Ketu. What kind of infrastructural investments / well paying land buyers can a relatively unknown Chief Adeyiga attract to boost the value of land the way LASG did??

That man should be careful, supreme court judgement or not, there are powerful people that risk loosing their homes that can comfortably fall him in that Magodo and nothing will happen.

You can't chase after land when you're dead.

Emergingnation1:
Lol

We ain't beg for any referendum, we are just making requests, which is international laid down standard...

Yes, your Jihadist government can't issues us referendum as being requested,

cos us issueing us referendum is equal to suicidal, Biafra actualization means death to Nigeria.

We'll get it through the international community..

Cowards that can't imagine their pathetic life without Igbo in Nigeria

"Cowards that can't imagine their pathetic life without Igbo in Nigeria"........but na Igbo dey inside luxurious bus dey relocate go live with the same people..... forever.

Na this clown wey talk say Dem dey beg dem when na shoot dem dey shoot dem.

See upside down logic.

MelesZenawi:
Cannibals are not freedom fighters okpo.

So You haven't heard of the Innocent freedom fighting cannibals??

lexy2014:
Are u saying that your statement that led to d question is daft hence d question?:

What was the looming anarchy that was about to set the nation on fire that d ban on Twitter prevented?

More daft questions.

Dem use am swear for you

treesun:
When you are defeated, accept and apologise, the unrepentant of the likes of you on festering Buhari on us has brought us thus far in suffering.

I admit i was defeated.......By the aimless and unintelligent questions you were spewing.

lexy2014:
What was the looming anarchy that was about to set the nation on fire that d ban on Twitter prevented?

Daft question.

lexy2014:
Is it twitter that bandits have been using to kidnap and kill people?

How was twitter used to "incite the public and coordinate widespread destruction like it was done during Endsars protest"?

Daft question.

treesun:
So twitter is killing people in Kaduna, Nassarawa and Niger!

This one is just chatting trash like a pry 2 kid.

DarkJeddi:
You must be a very clueless fellow?

Who told you that using VPN..

Precludes you from Nigerian audiences?

How many is the VPN crowd? Why are they now highlighting revenue loss??

FarahAideed:
Lagos is the 5th largest economy partly because of the industriousness of a particular tribe...

Why can't the tribe replicate this anywhere else??

Wishful thinking by dreamers that rely on drunks in beer parlors for their information.

Flier:
You are stylishly right,the ban is bad but it seems we are more at peace

Thank you. The ban was the price paid to quell the looming anarchy that was about to set the nation on fire.

treesun:
Sanwoolu was at the protest. it was peaceful until government send soldiers. Was the endsars people that burnt Orile police station. The level of education of people like you is questionable.
If I probe further, I am sure you are secretly using VPN to defend your pay masters. Even Bashir still uses twiter once in a while. Why are you people always afraid of truth!

You talk as if the whole country wasn't aware police were already being killed before troops were ordered into the streets.

The Endsars clowns had already started using thugs to block major roads already creating hardship for citizens and the mission had changed to End Buhari.

What else were you guys expecting? A hug?

treesun:
The Oluimo boys that burnt down BRT Bus at Ebute-Meta, Berger, Oshodi how many of them were arrested!

Can people see why it's hard discussing with half brained people on the internet?

I'm talking about how destructive people used Twitter to spread fakenews and nearly destroy the nation........... just look at what this doofus replied with.

treesun:
It was twiter that made okada burnt cars and destroy vehicles at Festac few weeks ago. Bad policy, You will come back to twiter.

Can you compare burning cars in Festac by Okada riders and burning Lagos down by Twitter coordinators and fakenews specialists??

treesun:
So twiter burnt places. Yet during elections, they use twiter!

Please, go learn to read and comprehend and stop asking me daft questions.

Keke rider toasting my wife??

I will make sure that Keke is seized and melted down to make spoons.

iokpebholo:
Cho cho cho.Lagos that has been thriving even during d colonial era is now a creation of ur lord and savior Tinubu.U guys are just fooling urselves with this Tinubu lagos Template u talk about...

You were probably a child back then or still in the village so you can't understand.

The nation has been more peaceful since the Twitter ban.

No idiot can use the platform to spread fakenews, incite the public and coordinate widespread destruction like it was done during Endsars protest.

It's the same clowns that used Twitter to propagate their trash that are still complaining.

Use VPN and spread your filth anongst American audiences now.

Emergingnation2:
Lol !

Treated like your Imaginery minority...

They only afriad that , if Igbo is given the chance to produce the president, they'll divide Nigeria., Which will lead them into Oblivion, cos the cowards can't survive outside Nigeria

Nobody will vote for you guys in the first place.

All Nigerians know how to do is hype other people's homes.

They have no idea how to build theirs.

Both the Govt and the people.

[s][/s]Who get time to read all this trash from enemy.



You know what Kanu and Ipob said but don't know what your evil Nigeria government said,deed and still doing.



Hypocrite.

I expected too much from an Mkpuru mmimri addled mind.

F.G has noticed your plight and is building a psychiatric hospital in your district.

You will be cured soon.

Tranquillity360:
You are just exhibiting mentality of Typical afonja muslim.


You believe any crime in East was done by one group but crimes in west are done by individuals.



Na foolishness.

Isn't it DSS and Fulani herdsmen responsible for the crimes in SE again ??

See ehn, some people see far, you guys didn't and it's resulted in the current insecurity in the S.E.

IPOB might not be responsible for the current violence in the region but they prepared the stage, watered the grounds for the various violent clowns dancing around the SE.

When Kanu was preaching hate, talking about people that deserved to die and cutting off people's heads, he should have been intelligent to know real killers, cannibals and criminals were listening and taking notes.

Kanu's followership is power and with power comes responsibility. You can't go around talking like an irresponsible, power drunk dictator, cursing, spreading hate and violence when you have that amount of people that follow your instructions.
