I don't know what you guys are complaining about but the truth is that, no responsible govt should allow people live in such pathetic conditions. I don't think I would survive 48hrs in that environment before passing out. Those structures do not look befitting for animals, let alone, human beings.

Average Nigerian is existing on less than a dollar a day.

You think those poor people like living in that slum?

You think they made that choice by themselves?

qleap2all:
That's the equivalent of our various housing scheme here.

Please mention one free or subsidised housing scheme your LASG has rolled out or is running?

brojoshua:
Maybe anything could happen in a corrupt country

The most disturbing thing is the way the evacuation was carried out.

The govt utilised thugs and armed policemen shooting sporadically and torching homes of poor defenseless citizens.

This is outrageous and barbaric.

It was more like what you expect from Fulani herdsmen

pokipoki:
Have you been to that place before? Are you in support of people living under sub- human conditions? If no, then it's best for them to go back to their villages or seek decent accomodation in other places.

Instead of you to task your govt on improving the lot of the growing majority poor you are on support of sweeping them out of view.

Black man's wickedness has no parallel

qleap2all:
Thanks, they still have to pay and it's for people with Special Needs in the States. That's the equivalent of our various housing scheme here.

30% of what they earn which is cut from minimum wage or those on the dole

In cities like NY having to pay just 30% out of an $8 per hour paycheck after taxes is virtually free.

qleap2all:
You failed to mentioned one country where government provides free houses. In communist States it wasn't totally free either

Google Section 8 Housing

umarshehu58:
Thats one thing i hate with Igbos, Must you insult before you pass ur mumu message? go get a life boy

Look at this boko idiot?

Go recite your koran or didn't they tell you the Internetz is haram?

umarshehu58:
If you read the story very well, it was the Fans not the footballers. That is why i told him to go and take care of the daily killings in Rivers before commenting here. You can't stop wrong with wrong

And that your useless north that blood is wasted every minute nko?

Useless ab0ki

along4dem:
Make them try am for Rivers United then make them come play return match for rivers state ...only Allah knw watin go happen to all them players

Majority of NFF league players are southerners so attacking kano pillars players in the south will be like attacking your own brothers

joepepsy:
Nigeria will not develop with mind like you,.

You want to sweep the poor under the carpet and you call it development?

You black devils

deomello:
Same way you people see Tinubu in your dreams every night and day and also blame him for lack of development in your villages.

Tinubu?

Only you zombies can't stop fantasizing about having Tinubu's limp gbana impotent dik down their throats

Fayose demolishes one mosque located in a petrol station, MURIC, BMC and YAMS come after him.

Ambode sacks and torches a waterfront settlement housing thousands of poor people in what is reminiscent to a civil war attack and we have zombies defending the obvious wickedness.

How hypocritical can these apc zombies be?

4dor:
If Ambode's house was there, it would have been destroyed and he won't be able to do anything. This is beyond what he can do, he can't even lift a finger.

Offcourse we know it was Tinubu behind the land grabbing

mapet:
Ok! for all it's worth, you're wasting my time......

Your precious time to do what exactly?

Jobless Tajudeen

Very soon dem go ban keke

Let me see how you go survive

Run a search on my previous comments here on NL, you will find out where I live.

Are you to ashamed to mention it?

Poor waif

Minister of Health Prof. Isaac Adewole on Thursday, said the current outbreak of Lassa fever in the country is because the administration of former president Goodluck Jonathan failed to implement a roadmap drawn in 2012.

The minister also disclosed that the ministry was going to begin testing on a potential vaccine that would be used to prevent the virus.

Adewole disclosed these while briefing the Senate Committee on Health headed by Sen. Lanre Tejuosho (APC, Lagos) on the outbreak of the lassa virus in Nigeria.

Prof. Adewole put the number of cases as of today was 129 adding that the hospital which treated the deceased victim of the disease before referral to the national hospital was being investigated.

The minister said that the virus would have been defeated by now if there was the Jonathan administration had the political will to implement a roadmap designed in 2012 to forestall future occurrence.

He said: “In 2012 we recorded 1723 cases, after that, because of the severity, the post lassa fever outbreak workshop took place and an action plan to ensure this will never happen again was put in place.

“But this action plan was never implemented because it was never funded. We will dust the old plan, modernize it and look at if from the political perspective: what can we do to provide leadership, to provide support.”

On the vaccine being developed to tackle the disease, the minister said government has been “notified of a candidate vaccine which we will put through chemical trial to find out if it would work.

“We call it a candidate vaccine and we would want to run it through trials and that takes some time. Hopefully we will do that this year, once we consider it to be effective and safe then we put it to use.

“If it works then that means that we would be able to immunize people in the affected areas but for now we will continue with our surveillance,” he said.

He revealed that the vaccine was co-developed by some Nigerians while saying that the current outbreak is a national embarrassment because although there were about 1723 cases in 2012, the percentage death rate of the current outbreak was higher.

He added that the virus had been a yearly occurrence with 400 cases recorded in 2014 although not as publicized as the current outbreak.

“We can assure you that we are not going to sleep, we will remain at work, we are actively moving across the country,” he assured the committee.

On the recent death of a victim at the National Hospital in Abuja, he said that the ministry was investigating the hospital where the victim was first treated for one week.

He said that the Abuja victim actually came from Plateau state because he was ill and landed in a private hospital where he was kept for one week before he was referred.

He said that the dead victim was only referred to the National Hospital when he was already unconscious and therefore died 24 hours later.

“It is unfortunate because if we had picked this man earlier on, we would have been able to put him on medication and he could have been alive today.

“The situation which happened in that private hospital I have asked our people to investigate. We will sanction the doctor or the proprietor if we find any act on negligence on his or her part,” he said.

In his remark, the Chairman of the Committee said that the Senate will be willing to approve money for the health of Nigerians not just for lassa but for other ailments.

Why will I drown in Lagos when I am already welcomed here!

No worry the LASG will soon clear that bariga slum you call home

The funniest thing is that majority of the callous human beings supporting this inhumanity are not even landlords in Lagos nor do they even live anywhere near Lekki

Rather they live in rundown parts of Lagos like Abule Egba, okoko and other far flung suburban slums

Mapet tell me where you live in Lagos

pokipoki:
I wonder why people are complaining!!! More than 95% of that area is considered a pig pen. People have the rights to life a very good life. Lagos is not for everyone abeg!!!!

When they troop to under every bypass bridge in Lagos that time you will know

deomello:
Stop spewing rubbish that you can not prove with facts.

No smiley emoticon came with this your post

E be like say I struck a Painment nerve

Abi your papa no be landlord?

Omo Baba broke

deomello:
Stop spewing rubbish that you can not prove with facts.

You sound like a broken record.

You are asking for facts when you can't even handle facts?

Go and ask your land lord for facts

Ode

deomello:
"scientific paper" in made up rubbish, hence his inability to back up his under the bed "scientific paper" with facts.

The only thing you know how to read is NL topics.

So why bother to give you something above your IQ range?

deomello:
I'm not interested in your father C AND C hearsay talk. I asked you to back up your 70% claim with facts.


You people need to stop spewing fallacies and ignorant crap just to make a point.

Only Abuja has nearly 100% legal ownership

Every other state landlord is likely to be a squatter.

I told you to ask your father's landlord because I know your wretched father can't even afford a waterfront shanty Hut in lekki

mapet:
He has "scientific paper" on it, he just doesn't know how to show it

Tajudeen will you prefer to drown in Lagos or sold out as a slave in Osun?

mapet:
Are you blind and deaf? when did I ever claim to be a Lagosian? It is someone who is ashamed of his heritage, or one who is covetous that claims another's. I am from Osun State...... Osogbo to be precise. I need no basis to claim to be a Lagosian when I am proud of my heritage. Can the same be said of you?

And who or what gave you the authority to declare who is or not a lagosian?

Go back to your fetish hell hole and stop claiming Lagos

deomello:
Stop spewing rubbish that you can not back up with facts.

Apart from GRAs, VI, Festac, APAPA, Yaba satellite town, parts of Surulere which were developed by the FG virtually every other parts of Lagos do not have tenable documents.

If you doubt it ask your father's landlord in Abule Egba for his C of O

Yes ohh.

The current minister of health has blamed the immediate past administration for the current meningitis outbreak claiming his ministry was not adequately prepared for the outbreak as the Ministry was focused on tackling a resurgence of Lassa Fever epidemic which the minister blamed squarely on the GEJ administration.

EppPliss:
Hav u provided an alternative accommondation for them and they refuse to relocate? You are just speaking trash from ur priviledge position because it does not affect u. Guy try hav a touch of human sympathy in u na haba.. it wouldn't cost u anything.

Lekki will be considered a slum in Europe or US

jollymizzle:
I'm in support of this not because I hate the people but I think they have the right to better lives even if they don't know it. Most people here think a slum is a place to live, it's not. It's dehumanizing, and no apologies the people living there are just a step above animals . Government, aid organizations and well meaning Nigerians should come to the aid of these people and give them a better life. Instead of condemning the government for an act well overdue we should be making active contribututions towards resetteling these people

it is for their own good to be homeless?

I bow for you wicked yorubas

deomello:
Must be your own specially formulated law.

No law condones lawlessness and illegal occupation of government land.

I will let you know that 70% of Lagos landlords do not posses any tenable legal document to the land they occupy.

That is why banks reject properties as loan collateral because they don't posses C of O or even basic R of O.

mapet:
Let me assume that as usual you will not bother to provide "scientific evidence" of the ancestry of Otodo-Gbame in Lagos

Stop claiming Lagos you hinterland dwelling Tajudeen from Osun

deomello:
Must be your own specially formulated law.

No law condones lawlessness and illegal occupation of government land.

Hope you know that all coastal lands and waterways belong to the federal govt?

Hope you realize that the LASG had to seek permission from the federal inland and waterways before constructing their bridge?

As for squatters, the law is very clear. You just don't uproot people from their homes whether they are legally or illegally occupying it.

Even in your Lagos vast majority of landlords do not posses a C of O or R of O. All they have is receipts from family owned lands to occupy the said property.

Nothing stops the LASG from quitting 70% of Lagos property owners as in the eyes of the law they are squatters.
