May God help both Fubara and Wike to settle their matter

The kind of politics they play in Rivers state is actually different from other states. I mean in the whole state, no elders to wade into the issue

It's quite difficult to see how they can be listened to. One party is abhorrent to the elders, the other party don't seem to have possession of the 'ball.'

Kushites:
SHUT UP THERE.

IF TRUMP WAS THERE WITH EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN GOVERNOR AND OFFICIAL, YOU WOULD PRAISE AND SUPPORT HIM EVEN MORE.

SO SHUT UP AND LEAVE "NIGERIA" OUT OF YOUR MOUTH.

OKAY?

You no sabi read? Wetin you see? You bi Nigerian at all. Read, assimilate before you comment. Please read again 😊🤑

President pikin marry, him no dey dere! E no fit happin for Nigerian. Govt to shut down. Public Holiday fit dey sef. All Ministers, Governors, politicians and big wigs go attend.

Congratulations to Trump Jr

This a cleverly fake product designed as new.

Great Man hood. Which award did he win in the AMVCA?

This seems to be a very dramatic turn around. You chose the country you liked? Wow!

It seems the kingmakers have chosen a king from amongst the king's 'sons'.

🚨 Breaking News 🚨

Confirmed

Cameroon’s President Paul Biya (93, the world’s oldest serving head of state) issued an official presidential decree appointing his son, Franck Emmanuel Biya, as Vice President of the Republic, Head of the Armed Forces, and Minister Delegate at the Ministry of Defence.

If Paul Biya is not available, his duties will be taken by his son.

I am fairly certain that the Baale is working hand in glove with the so-called “youths” in the community.

The overbearing influence of “Omonile” in land acquisition across many communities is a significant burden to contend with.

They wield enormous power—so much so that even the government often lacks the authority to restrain them.

The best approach is to liaise with one or two influential members of the landholding family to speak on your behalf.

The Baale will likely reduce the ₦10 million demand eventually. You certainly cannot “beat” them.

In the Nigerian political sphere, it seems the politicians don't bother about 'ideology' they ponder 'benefits.'

What as astute investor. A formidable landlord in London. Indeed he's 7th in ranking. Nigerian investors are trying to take over the UK. 👍👌✌️

Peaceful. He can't ride in Lagos, Abuja or elsewhere. 👌👍

Wow! Your landlady is truly compassionate—daily rent payments? God bless her. She is a “God-sent” to you. I urge you to pay your rent consistently and as agreed.

Any unnecessary default could cause you serious financial distress.

I agree with you, but convert your hourly, daily, weekly or monthly wage.

Then the comparison will be completed

Is this demolition excercise legal? Were the residents issued with demolition notices?

Govt can't just start destroying people's buildings for no just cause.

Maroko — Lekki Peninsula

Maroko was deemed uninhabitable due to environmental risks.

The Lagos State government under Colonel Raji Rasaki cited the suburb's low elevation—about 1.5 meters above sea level—which made it highly prone to flooding and submersion during heavy rains, as seen in the massive 1990 floods from 16 days of nonstop rainfall.

Sanitation and health concerns were key factors. Authorities highlighted the area's unsanitary conditions, including a lack of proper waste disposal, potable water, and basic infrastructure, creating risks for disease epidemics in the densely packed informal settlement.

Security issues contributed to the decision. A government security report linked Maroko to the April 1990 Orkar coup attempt, alleging it was planned there, amplifying pressures alongside environmental threats.

MAROKO or MAKOKO?

Maroko, a densely populated suburb in Lagos, Nigeria, was indeed demolished in July 1990 under the military administration of Colonel Raji Rasaki, who served as Lagos State administrator from 1988 to 1992

Demolition Details
The eviction displaced over 300,000 residents from around 10,000-30,000 structures, many of whom were low-income families living in informal settlements

This followed an earlier failed attempt in 1980 under civilian governor Lateef Jakande, which sparked riots.

The area, originally inhabited by groups like the Ijaw, Ilaje, and Yoruba, was razed using bulldozers and fires to prevent rebuilding

Official Reason
The government justified the action as urban renewal, citing Maroko's location below sea level, lack of basic amenities, flooding risks, and uninhabitability—labelling it a "slum" prone to disease

Post-demolition, the land was transformed into upscale areas such as; Oniru, Lekki Phase 1 and 2.

Minor Caveats
While "urban renewal" matches the touted rationale, sources also highlight environmental unsanitary conditions as a key factor, though critics view it as displacement for elite development without adequate compensation.

No major contradictions appear across historical accounts.

Imagine turning Lagos' sleepy property tax system into a N1TN yearly powerhouse, as revealed by Taiwo Oyedele, tax reform boss.

Right now, undervalued high-end properties and weak enforcement mean you're dodging massive collections—but that's changing FAST.

No more hiding elite real estate!

For developers:
Expect transparent valuations and incentives to build big.

For Investors:
Time to formalise, diversify, and cash in on Lagos' $1TN GDP dream without the underground drama.

Are we ready to pay more tax?

This is why you should take real estate investment seriously. 1979 may seem distant, but look back—it's not that long ago. Generating wealth through property ownership remains one of the most powerful paths to riches. Invest wisely. Invest smart.

This is a commendable and practical show of leadership. Prioritising wounded soldiers and making home ownership affordable reinforces morale, dignity, and long-term stability for those who serve the nation.
