membranus:
The initial design was for 8 floors so the foundation was designed for only 8 floors. His first approval was for 8 storeys, but he continued construction so when he got to the 10th floor, he was arrested with his workers and taken to Alausa in a black Maria. He sorted himself out and obtained approval for 15 storeys for which he paid the official amount. He was released and the site reopened with Governor's approval. Only the Governor gives approval for a stop order or reopen order on multistorey developments. The land is owned by the VP Osinbajo and he is an investor in the development. The developer- Femi Osibona who used to sell t-shirts in Abuja market is living in another property which belongs to the VP adjacent to The Gerrard Rd development. As of last week, he has two latest Rolls Royce cars parked in his compound which he just bought. The whole episode stinks and the can of worms will be opened eventually. This may consume the VP's political ambition. Sanwo-Olu suspended the GM of the Lagos Agency for effect. The guy has no power to close or reopen any multistorey development without obtaining the consent of the Governor. Construction is our business. The real culprits will be exposed eventually. VP & Sanwo are culpable. It's their investment.

Bros, You are in the know, thats all I can say. Na Ikenne connection (Osinbajo and Osibona) . They will try and cover it up, but you are right on track.

The truth may hurt , but our society has never moved on from polygamy. We may hide under the disguise of religion and civilization, but deep down, we are Africans. And our value system condoned and celebrated polygamy long before the white man came with his ways.

My take is not to say polygamy is either good or bad, but that our deep rooted African norms cannot be easily erased just because the white man gave us a book and some set of laws.

Its the same way our so called democracy , even though copied from the white man, looks nothing like what they taught us.

Lets remember that a lot of us are just one generation away from polygamy being the norm in our society, my grand-parents both had multiple wives, then white man brought bible and the norms changed. Society norms may have changed , but the black man remained the same.

For every side chick , there is a married man and a wife involved. The so called wife , may have once upon a time been a side chick , and the present side chick will one day be a wife.

Its truly a mans world in Africa; it has always been. Change may come , but not today.
