This is good news for many property owners around lagos coastal road. The useless 150m rule which federal govt made based on this NIWA act can now be challenged by legal owners

LegendHero:
Nope, some African and Asian countries too were impacted.

But na naija own guys dey interested in as per se we be naija.

It is worst that even people that join the military with their green card are not getting citizenship. They seems to be pausing that too.

I like the one of pausing citizenship for the military guys if true. Many of them were everywhere on social media last year making videos, speaking bad about nigeria because they promise them citizenship. One was even saying he was ready to invade nigeria with us army, lets see how that goes now

Almost everything you stated up there is true for every other developed country, but one thing sets America apart: as much as it is the land of opportunity and great wealth, you are one terminal disease or medical emergency away from bankruptcy. Insurance companies and the pharma mafia have taken over U.S. healthcare, inflating the cost of services.

Lol first-time travelers are not difficult to spot. Trolleys are paid for at most international airports including George Bush Intercontinental Airport, Houston, Texas. Nigeria is not perfect, but all these are not unique to Nigeria.

Also, I still used MMA a few weeks back, and no one forced me to use any “airport taxi”. You can always book an Uber ride before you arrive or after you’ve landed—your mode of transportation out of the airport is totally your choice. An Uber ride from the airport to places around Ikeja costs less than N10K, depending on traffic situation.

Dont mind her. Overtly exaggerating! Airport taxi is a choice and i prefer it actually because they can help carry my luggage for me right from inside the airport. And if you can price haggle very well no one can cheat you. I remember a driver recently charging me 50k but i paid 20k eventually. These experiences are some of the things you dont get abroad that makes nigeria unique.

AAADE:
Legally you notify your landlord your intention of quiting his property or he himself notify you to quit his property at not less than half the period of tenancy ie

1 year tenancy: notification period- 6month
3month: notification period- 45 days
6month : notification period- 3month
1month: notification period-15 days

This period will allow either of you to plan and execute a fresh arrangements.

This only suffice on their old tenancy agreement/contract. The moment the landlord breached the contract by increasing the rent, they are not entitle to any 6 month notice.

Op, as a tenant you have options too:
1. Refuse and challenge the increase. By lagos 2011 tenancy you can challenge the unreasonability of this 100% increase in a magistrate court and the landlord cannot evict while the case is on

2. Reject and negotiate a lower rent

3. Leave on july 31 at the end of your tenancy without giving notice unless your contract / agreement state otherwise

This one is whining Dangote so he can build refinery in his region. Unless he is ready to support him with dollars, it is a pipe dream

For every carrier / trafficker caught, there is a baron here in town walking free, gallivanting and painting the streets red flaunting their ill gotten wealth and oppressing their neighbors. The painful part is that people never learn; while they continue to praise these same barons camoflaging as "billionares" at parties and elsewhere, others are aspiring to become new carriers and the cycle continues.

Now that he has declared 70k monthly earnings, i hope we wont hear its AI or some other stories if lagos govt start asking for tax and their share of it. These fakebrities and lies.

HacheNoire:
We need to nationalize our resources but we would be called terrorists.

Nigeria is a cash cow for these multinationals

You are looking for trouble. Nationalize so that they will tell us we need freedom & democracy or they have found wmd?

ruggedtimi:
Possible frontman for politicians.

Most definitely! Watch his political friends closely. Ppl like saraki, sanusi etc.

He was not the only one. A few of these bank executives are money launderers for the politicians

Voice of Iran, hands of China and Russia.
If you know you know.
This is only the beginning of the war.
Let's see what the Israelis and American hackers can do.

You are grossly misinformed. Iranian scientist and engineers are some of the best in the world. A lot of them are in the US universities(stanford & MIT) and industries suceeding. Many are leading top AI research teams at open AI, anthropic and deepmind.

KobolanderSegun:
Ha ba. You and your plopaganda . The Romans killed one third of the Jews. The real problem is Abraham had brothers sisters , that is why Lot was his Nephew.
Abraham is the father of the Jewish race..The problem is Abraham had brothers and sisters from the same parents.

To let you fully understand I'm Yoruba. If I create a new race with a Yoruba woman the kids will still be Yoruba.
The New Race Abraham created was not a race of the flesh it was a race of the spirit. That is why Jesus was born a Jew in line with Abraham

If you read a Bible the Jews in Jesus time would say ," Abraham was our father " and Jesus would say ," Abraham is not your father, if Abraham was your father you will believe in me "
Meaning that Abraham and Jesus are tied to each other not by flesh alone but by faith. That is why Christians become Born Again by confessing Jesus as their lord and savior.


Abraham was Aramaic like his Iranian, Palestinian, brothers and sisters

Ah ah, my brother… slow down small. This one you typed, na full Sunday sermon you drop for historical discussion. Nobody call you come preach revival here.

We are talking about documented history, not Bible class or born-again testimony. So I don’t know where you carry this your Abraham family meeting come from.

Oga, park well and stay your lane. Not every conversation be altar call. Some of us are discussing historical records, not spiritual genealogy.

Next time read to understand the topic first before you open microphone. Because as it stands, this one pass your level small. Abeg off your mic

DomPerignon:
Those are Jews and not Israelites.

Israel was to the north and had split from Judah.

Judah was then overran by Middonites aka Edomites or as it was then called Iduomites.
This became Jews.

Real Israel got overan by the Assyrian empire and later the Hellenstic Greeks.

Israelites then intermarried with the Greeks and Assyrians and became the Samaritans.

The closest link to Samaritans today are the Palestinians and Lebanese.

The Jews back then got genocided by Hadrain with only a handful indivuals numbering 360 allowed to leave Palestine.

A genetic bottle neck then arose and they were forced to marry their women to Turkic Mongloids as no one in Europe wanted to be with them.

The mongrels that came out of this then moved further north in Europe and settled in the Caucuses and intermingled with an Indo-Aryan race known as the Kharzas who are originally from a tribe in India known as the Thuggees. Its from these Thuggees we get the English word Thug as the Thuggees were known as a criminal race.

The Kharzas aka Thuggees were then conquered by a Russian Viking King who demanded they converted to either Islam (so as to be ruled by the Ottoman Islamic empire) or convert to Christianity so as to come under the Eastern Orthodox church and thus Russian influence. The minority Iduomites then suggested they convert to their own polluted and heretic religion of Judaism aka Phariseeism so as to avoid being under Islamic or Christian rule.

These Kharzars and their Iduomites are who are now claiming Jews.

Note that they never refer to themselves as Israelites but rather Jews or Israeli.

We are saying the same thing. The whole point is that, genetically, there is no such thing as Jewish DNA anymore (as an offshoot of Judah). They were completely wiped out by the Romans after the Jewish rebellion of 66 A.D. in Jerusalem, which killed a Roman governor. The current pretenders are Ashkenazi Jews (converted to judaism) who are from present-day Turkiye before they were Islamized and migrated to eastern europe.

DomPerignon:
Israel ceased to exist sometime in the 3rd century BC.

Present day Israel is not Israel and will never be.

How you guys can think a country formed via terrorism by a bunch of atheistic Soviet communist Khazars is the restoration of the Davidic Kingdom of old, only you guys can explain.

Mordern Israel is a joint project of the luciferian Anglo-Judean Freemason order and the Sabbatean Frankist Satanic cult .

Exactly! Only correction is that they went extinct in 70 A.D. roughly 2000 years ago! This current ones there are pretenders. They are converted jews not the original ethnic jews.

Dtribeless:
All the tech in the world. Check before responding. You think even US ally for love? Almost all major tech is of jewish origin.

I hate it when ppl categorically state falsehood and falacy with their full chest. It is a blatant lie that all major tech is of jewish origin. First of all, being jewish / judaism is a religion like christianity and only 1% of the tech innovators are jewish. Majority are atheist or agnostic. About 33% are christians. Please stop confidently spreading this falsehood and misinformation here. This is 2026!

Gerhards:
Are you alright? How did US created Bokoharam? It was created by Ayatollah follower Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky , next time get your facts right before you put yourself in trouble

That is not true. BH and all other terrorist groups in Nigeria are mostly Sunni Muslims who follow a Saudi-funded Salafist brand of extremism.

This is exactly my fear with allowing the US / CIA free reign into Nigeria under the cover of curbing christian genocide. Before you know it they will start arming terrorists and armed groups from different parts of the country. The moment they have disagreement with the govt at any time, they will activate their sleeper cells. Truly, dealing with these Americans requires a special kind of wisdom!

What a holistic and intelligent take from Col McGregor. This is a big picture view of the issue. Trump has unintentionally made a martyr of the Ayatollah. His death is becoming a rallying point for previously quarreling Arabs and persians, despite their Sunni and Shia divisions. Now they see one common enemy, Israel. This is a war the USA is going to regret joining. Even domestically, a majority of Americans are against this senseless war. The US was winning the negotiations, and Iran was going to virtually capitulate until this misguided decision to make a martyr of this man.

Botragelad:
Blah blah blah.
This ain’t your local politics nonsense where you push propaganda.
Tell Iran to quit threatening to wipe out Jews and Americans.
Tell them to stop funding and arming terrorists to hit Israel.

And yeah, regime change is needed, Iran should go back to its real self, not stay this Islamic theocracy mess destabilizing middle east.
You don’t like hearing that? Go cry about it a million times, I don’t care.

Will you keep quiet? Are you a mossad or CIA agent on this platform. How does an unprovoked so called "preventative" attack on another country solve anyhing but start chaos everywhere. Sitting down behind your keyboard, typing gibberish and urging unneccessary war propaganda. This is not video game, its real people's life and blood at stake.

Its a nothing burger really, there are 774 local govts recognized by the constitution. The land must currently fall in one of the local council. Whichever state that council currently belongs, own the land. No argument!

dalongjnr:
The governors creating a problem that may not be solved.
The old gazette of oyo traditional council of chiefs acts didn't support rotational chairmanship.
Where did the governor drive his powers from? From the amended law of 2025.
Is that the creation of a legislative amendments? Yes. But this rhat drive from historical facts. NO

I don't support illegally.
I REMEMBER THAT IN MAY,2025, WHEN THE BILL WAS AMENDED, THERE WAS NO PUBLIC HEARING ON IT.
THAT CREATES AMBIGUITY AND POLITICAL SUSPICION.
I know that Two lawmakers, Olorunpoto Rahman (Oyo East) and Gbenga Oyekola (Atiba), staged a walkout during the session, protesting the legislative process. Citing and I quote, “Everyone knows the position of the Alaafin. We are not out of touch with history. Alaafin is a paramount ruler. We should not make laws for political convenience."
The other traditional rulers from other kingdoms devoid of historical evidence of ever chairing the council wanted to have a test and refused their submissions to the ALAAFIN.
a coalition of traditional leaders, chiefs, and cultural groups from Ibadanland and Ogbomosoland had rejected a proposal that would have madethe Alaafin the permanent council chairman.

Exactly, these governors are problems. Introducing needless politics into traditions. This was what Gandouje did in Kano causing problems that has since outlived him. Seyi Makinde is threading the same path.

In a year's time or more he would no longer be governor but would have created a big crisis for oyo state.

Ojuntana:
Go and read up your history properly

It is you that should take a lesson in history. These are well documented in historical text. I have provided you some reading reference here to cure your ignorance:

1. The history of the yorubas by Rev samuel johnson

2. The kingdoms of the yorubas by Robert smith

Ojuntana:
Ibadan was an empire. It ruled over most parts of the Old Oyo from Ijebu down to Ekiti and collected tributes from them after the fall of the Oyo empire
Check out what led to the Ekiti parapo and Ijaiye wars

Where did you learn your history from? Ibadan was not even a kingdom talk more an empire. Ibadan was a military outpost of oyo just like ilorin used to be. To correct you, Ijebu was never under any empire. It was a stand alone kingdom strong enough to take charge of all important water ways in the west.

seunmsg:
Less than 10% of Nigerians pay personal income tax. In fact, only those in well structured paid employment get to pay. Even at that, over 90% of them don’t pay up to 30%.

Again, it’s sad to see people ignorantly thinking their personal income taxes goes to FG. No, your taxes goes to your state government fully. Tinubu gets all the blame for the tax reform while state governors take every personal income tax. Even the VAT, states take 85% while FG takes 15%. Nigeria is probably the only country where the central government doesn’t take a dime from payroll tax. In US, Germany etc, FG takes the lion share from payroll tax. Not in Nigeria.

Nice summation. And nobody pays 30% PAYE tax in nigeria. Atleast not yet. Nigeria may have very poor infrastructure and welfare system but dont compare with europe (germany) that practises socialist economic system(almost communist with their over taxation policy). Nobody wants to pay 40% tax to govt in Nigeria.

PulaPower:
Kristy Hallowell had just lost her job when her energy bill unexpectedly tripled to $1,800 a month.

But the gas is still off and electricity bills keep mounting this winter, leaving her in fear of another shut-off. She said she now had about $3,000 in utility debt.

The 44-year-old is one of millions of Americans who have fallen behind on their energy bills as prices have soared over the past year.

This is what you get when you vote for a tangerine 🍊 in human form. I hope America get it right someday..

Enter TikTok, nah so so lamentations… I was shocked when a USA guy made a video of how they averagely pay $9,000 for ambulance. The comments on that video was shocking… I was like, shey nah Amelica be this?

$9k is nothing, pray not to find yourself in emergency units for one reason or another. You will see serious billings. Without insurance people do go bankrupt. Healthcare is world class but very expensive in america.

DaddyJapan:
Alhaji, you do understand we are talking about a coastal road here. The operative word being coastal (running alongside an ocean)?

Give to Caesar that which belongs to Caesar. Give to the sea god that which belongs to the sea god.

I get your point but I am not talking about 150m setback from the sea though. What i saw were remove/demolition notice markings for 150m ROW even on the land side of the coastal road (places way farther than 150m away from the sea). I saw markings at some point 2 streets deep into lekki side of town. An entire estate was marked for demolition. How do you explain that?

BlakKluKluxKlan:
The I consider your submission as a subtle continuation of the senseless opposition to the project by bigotry enemies of progress who had no genuine reason to oppose it other than hidden primordial interest and grandstanding.
I thought enough hues and cries have been e raised on this issue as it is.

Your last paragraph smoked you out as having a vested interest.
Imagine your insolent insinuation that perhaps the president may not know the distance of 150km.

That said, common sense should tell anyone that future exigencies should be considered in executing projects of this nature.
Furthermore, isn't it time we did away with this colonial mentality of referring to foreign examples in local matters ?
Must not use our home-grown initiatives for our own convenience ?

Hey bot, please spare us the performance. It’s very obvious you are the same person running Ttalk, Domperigon, and God-knows-what other fake accounts you have. Same talking points, same broken logic, same paid enthusiasm. When you are on payroll, initiative becomes a luxury, so I understand why original thinking is absent for you.

Let me be very clear before you derail this again: this discussion has nothing to do with APC, PDP, LP, ADC or whatever alphabet party you are currently defending for pocket money. I will not reveal any political inclination for the amusement of simpletons whose entire online existence is tied to defending their paymaster.
You people are online jobbers, data boys trained to see every conversation as a battlefield where you must earn your daily bread. Everything to you is propaganda because that is all you know.

As I have stated repeatedly, this thread is not for your likes. It is meant for decision-makers and people with actual authority not paid noise makers, comment mercenaries, or professional trolls hunting for engagement.

Now move along and look for another thread where your services are required.

Ttalk:
You need to request for refund of your education. How does a random YouTube interview translate to fact.

An enlighten person will request for the copy of the evacuation notice from the government and clearly show where 150m ROW is requested.

Ah yes, the classic “I refuse to research but I demand footnotes” approach.
Instead of shouting from the comfort of your lazy chair, why not stand up, dust your brain, and actually do the research yourself?

If you were even half as enlightened as you claim, you would know how to look up official notices, ROW regulations, and government publications without waiting to be spoon-fed like a nursery school pupil. Google is free. Public records are free. Initiative is also free but apparently scarce for you.

So please, save the fake intellectual outrage. Do your homework yourself and stop outsourcing basic thinking.

Burob:
Is the president the Minister of Works?

Because he gave the order, so he is responsible.

Ttalk:
You are lying with your 150meter clearance from the highway of coastal road.

I challenge you to prove any official document or residential accounts that stated that government demanded for 150m clearance.

It is the policy of FG of Nigeria to give clearance parts on every highway and the stipulated length from the highway is 45m in each of the sides of the road, the total of both sides which amount to 90m.

Where did you see 150m?

This applies to FG roads across Nigeria, just like same observed in second Niger bridge so also is applicable to Lagos -Calabar coastal
road.

I know you deliberately increases the ROW to 150m to justify and spread your hate for the government. However, while doing that, you have forgotten that many property owners along that corridor are on Nairaland reading your distorted information.

I know you are paid troll and shouldnt respond to your ignorant self but that will make you perpetuate your ignorance here.

DomPerignon:
Nigeria is not US and if we decided to have even a km set back its fine by me.

Same US allows gays to get married, should we now accept gay marriages because they are legal and protected by US law?

There are a thousand and one things better to discus than the setback on coastal highway which you obidients have been opposed to since its inception and ongoing construction.

Go and focus on your SE. Last I checked Coastal highway is not passing through your SE nor is it taking up any of your lands. And the people of SS all resoundingly support this project.

Your opinions, rants and frustrations this landmark project is irrelevant and not be welcomed.

Face your SE.

You must be silly to assume i am from the SE.

After showing you evidence that the clearance is senseless and wicked, you suddenly resulted to throwing insult.

You dont care even if its 1km clearance, ofcourse why would you since you have zero achievements and investments such that you will have properties to be demolished foolishly by some incompetent government workers.

Not everything is politics and "you dont put mouth in what you have zero competence".

This thread was not opened for folks like you but possibly the minister, the president or their handlers might come across it and seeing how things are done in other climes might have a rethink.
