I am expecting lots of cancellations in Imo state..

I mean,, the type of cancellations that would make people to call for the overhauling of INEC..

There was no election in Orlu , how that many people magically voted for APC is just laughable.

How APC got over half a million votes still remains a shocker

Politics / Re: 80% Of Illegal Structures Demolished In Lagos Owned By Yoruba - SOWPROF by Badgers14: 12:57am On Dec 01, 2023
Whether the structures are owned by yoruba or TIV people, it is irrelevant.

What is relevant is for the government to have a master plan and enforce it.

Stiff enforcement of tough penalties for any government officials collecting bribes.

In a situation that patient tells the nurse to pray for him/her nko? Will she still be sacked?

Well, Nigerians and our religious obsession, una don see am nau

I have the same question too but on reflection I am thinking that maybe the patient was the one that reported the nurse to warrant her immediate firing.

Nevertheless, a warning/ reprimand might have been more appropriate but again maybe the nurse have had other violation under their belt warranting the firing. Or felt like them religious people that are consumed by their churches even after initial reprimand was still headstrong.

How many mb would sending that video cost you?

Everything is not gragra.. he could have sent him the video and left it there..

Even if it costs him N50 in data.. those are business expenses.

That is the ideal . But it is never like that in real life. Not everyone does the right thing all the time. Even you . Even in the US or EVEN China with death penalty people in government are still corrupt . There is always someone in Government that will be corrupt .
But this should not be about the government . The law is the law regardless of the people in government . That is why there are different levels of government to checkmate issues like this . You cannot absolve the crimes of the citizen who bribed the government official . If the punishment is to demolish the property , then it should be done . If the punishment for the official is death by firing squad, so be it .

to be clearer, are you saying because a corrupt government official gives go ahead despite the law , the citizen should be pardoned?

PS-I am a guy

Oga sir. That's what I am saying. The government official that was supposed to enforce the law was the one that misled the citizen.

How is that right? The proper procedure would have been for the citizen to be compensated first before the house is demolished because the government is a culprit in the scheme.

Had the government officials done their job right the first time.. we wouldn't be here.

From DM

Manage the two until you are well established and invested.. them you could decide to leave government work and become self employed.

How long have you been in the business? How much have you saved? Can you divest your investment to have another layer of financial security? ( you don't have to answer these questions online here but this would be questions I would ask my self if I was faced in a situation like this).

The problem is, many new businesses once they make profits in the first few months , go all in ... sometimes it works, sometimes not.

The best to do is to nurture the business while still having that steady flow of income no matter how small from your Government job.. then build up the business then go all in if you must by quitting the government job.

Government is the people . People are good and bad . There is no misleading here . It was either lack of due diligence or bribery and corruption . Either way , it is against the law.

Eg . If you get to a traffic light at red . You know you are not to move , but you give the traffic warden 50 Naira and drive through then you have an accident or road safety catches you , will you sue or blame the government ?

Government officials or enforcers accepting bribe doesn’t change the law. You only have rogue officials . And they are also breaking the law by accepting or soliciting bribes . Only the officials will be held accountable. Not the government . That is why a corrupt governor will go to jail and not the whole state government .

Oga/madam..

You misinterpret the meaning of government in your explanation.

Those corrupt individuals are government employees that enabled corrupt activities.

At the time, they were representative of the government not just a mere citizen.

They should have done better by enforcing the laws which they signed off on.

If someone ran a red light and the driver offers them a bribe.. the correct thing to do is to reject the bribe and possibly arrest the offending individuals for breaking the law and obstructing the law.

Ok ohh. So the fact you know there is kleg, you then settle one so called official that could be posted out the next week, no receipt or approval, it then gives you the boldness to continue to pour your hard earned money into the property? That is being smart by half. The joke is on you.
Oyinbo calls it penny wise pound foolish. (pardon the quote, just a general reference and not to you personally).

Oga/ Madam.

I understand your point but I think you veered off the wrong direction.

Now, if you have gone through an approval process you might understand more.

I speak from experience in lagos state precisely.
I owned a property there once upon a time. (Location withheld).

When I acquired the property, I paid lawyer and surveyor and did the ground work etc. The thing was at the time, they said government charges xx amount of money to register land in this and that area. And I paid.

House was built on the land, I went through the same thing , paid for approval plus the envelope involved.

Now fast forward 5 years later after i sold the property, then house plus others in that area was demolished because of illegal structure because the new government had other plans for the area.

The person that purchased the house from me, even though it has been 5 years past.. I felt so bad for him.

No one ever told me the land was government land.. infact in the office when I questioned the large amount of money they are seeking to approve the building plan.. the oga brought files of others that have paid.. saying see I don't have to show you this but here you go.. this pesin that orsin have paid.. some even paid higher than they were demanding from me.

I went to some of those individuals back then and confirmed they paid so and so amount of money etc.

But nevertheless, those houses were all demolished even though they had a government approval. One of the things the government officials was saying at the time was ehn.. the government at the time have changed, the home owners should go and hold the government officials that signed off..

That got me thinking, isn't there continuity in government? So does it mean that if someone owed the past administration, the new administration will forgive those debts?

So this is where I draw my opinion from my own experience. If my land was a government land, why didn't the official tell me so instead of telling me I need to pay a higher approval fee because that's what government charges for lands and building approval in that axis, I was even provided with an official memo directing them to charge the said amount.

So the government has to do better by her citizens.

This is just wrong!!

But it takes two to tango . If they bribe an official to carry out an illegality , they should be prosecuted as well as the building demolished . They should bring evidence of bribery against the officials so they can all go down . Bribe doesn’t change the law , it only postpones the inevitable .

I see what you saying but realistically it doesn't work like that because the government is held higher than the individual in this cases.
Here's why, the government has a duty to protect the citizens.

The government writes the laws.

The government enforces the law.

The government officials accepted the bribe.

Government turned blind eyes and refused to enforce thier own laws.

Yes, citizens have a duty to be law abiding but when they are misled by big brother government, that's bad.

How many were the rebels? What kind of resources and equipment did they have to fight the U.S navy? A couple of AK 47s and rpgs? They would need way more than that to stand a chance with the U.S navy and that's why they backed down and surrendered because they would have been fighting a futile battle.

Even in the streets, it happens if someone is cornered by men dem and the person cornered have connect of a senior man that is not even there at the moment, once those guys know the person they cornered have connects.. they will just free the person unharmed..

Oga, even those prople that built those houses, knew it had kleg, but decided to go ahead. Did you not read in the post that red paint was placed on the fences telling them to stop work, but most will settle some so called government officials and then continue construction.
The fact you buy "stolen" land and then build on it does not confer ownership on you. Assuming your Toyota corolla is stolen and sold to a person, you then run into your car 2 years later, who then owns the car, you or the buyer of stolen property? Will the buyer now start blaming vehicle licensing office, roadsafety (number plate) etc for licensing and registering the vehicle?

The bolded is the problem.

The example you gave with the stolen car is comparing apples to oranges

The bottom line here is, if the government officials didn't collect bribes and did their job.. those houses will not be built.

The government has a duty to protect thier citizens not to enable criminal activity.

I believe and could be wrong that the Nigerian factor came into play. You go to one office, pay some bribe and a go ahead is given even when it is not genuine.

Thatz exactly the point and that's the point I am trying to make.

The culprit here is the government, those corrupt individuals are government employees.

When an individual goes in to get approval in most states, the officials are mostly interested in the brown envelopes and not about doing there jobs.

If the government had done their jobs they wouldn't have built the house in the first place.

Secondly, in all this years people were building houses there, does it mean that the DG or any top brass of the FHA wasn't aware of it and make necessary effort to stop it at that time?

Many people saying sue government sue government, why that is the proper way to seek redress in courts but that's very cruel to the Nigerian citizens affected because a court case like that can go on for years and how could someone that already lost hundreds of million of naira afford litigation expenses at the same time trying to find a new accommodation to thier families??

Our government is just irresponsible!

Sometimes I wonder what Nigeria benefits from democracy, if democracy is indeed a better system of government for Nigeria than military rule.

Most of the people whose properties were demilished know that their building is illegal and not approved. The FHA told them, marked their houses but they ignored warnings and painted over the markings.

They felt they are above the law and NOBODY APPROVED THEIR CONSTRUCTIONS. The feeble attempt to turn this into a tribal fight is a waste of time

So you are saying the government did not approve the building plan for all this construction that are been demolished??
.
And the owner erected a structure like that and the government and its agent never showed face during construction?

I am not supporting godfatherism in politics but it is almost inevitable.

Many of this people mentioned here had silent truce..

It's just like meeting a release clause in club football so a player can be released.

Their godfathers were "taken care of " so they can hands off and let their boy breathe.

Does anyone really think the godfathers would just be pushed away like that hands akimbo

For uba and ngige.. does anyone remember what Uba did Ngige? To kidnap a sitting governor with police escort in broad day light na beans??

So leave all those things, this are common sense..

Israel isnt slow. It is ordinary. Without the US, the idf isnt any better than lesotho army.

I wouldn't take it that far though..

In a situation like this, Israel has to consider the position of their allies because Israel can't do it alone.

The allies sometimes have their own individual interest they would like to protect.

So that's the world of diplomacy. International politics ain't no joke..

Just like Hamas.. someone is using them to poke at Isreal and the west .

If you follow the news you'll see Iran is upset that Hamas didn't give them heads up prior to their initial attack ans while they support Hamas, they can't support them in all areas that's why Iran is not directly involved per se but rumor has it that Hezebollah and Houthis in Yemen has Iranian's blessing.
