Akposkool:
Nigeria without good territorial planning. Why do they allow people build filling stations near houses? It's wrong planning. In Europe filling stations are built far from normal settlement. Come to oghara in delta state and you will see up to 6 oil storage houses across the same streets people reside. This is absurd what if one of those ware houses caught fire. Bros the whole town will go down. Out of greed we sell our lands to companies that should be located far from our houses. God help Nigeria and I sympathize with those that have lost one or two properties in this fire.
May God help us all!! Na true word you talk! Accidents happen, when health and safety rules are not observed! People are too fond of circumventing town planning laws and regulations in this country, and they are often aided and abetted by those in government. undecided

Exactly. Lagos needs to come up with strict fire code. A filling station should not be in a residential estate. Look at that affected vehicles. I hope nobody was affected. Lagos cannot continue like this.

Was passing there wanted to first see what was going on but when i saw the thick smoke had to turn back sharperly.

It looks like a diesel tank leaked because the floor on the outside of the station is black like there was diesel there then panic and someone escaping caused a spark. cause even up to a street away and across the station cars are on fire. cogbuagu s first pic even shows the same FCMB there was a robbery there some weeks ago. I feel so sad for the people living around there cause they would be traumatised.

We need to move forte and ascon out of lekki. this is a serious warning. unconfirmed but sadly there is no how there wont have been casualties. its looking bad.
I no know say you sef see am! shocked angry

When some residents were telling them that the petrol station is too close to the new Lekki-Ikoyi Toll bridge roundabout, as well as too close to residential houses in the estate, the management of the petrol station ably supported by Lagos State Ministry of Planning, claimed that a petrol station was in the master plan. shocked

Which master plan? And where is this so-called master plan? Everyone kept quiet because the original master plan drafted in 1982/1985 did NOT have a petrol station in that particular block. So who changed the master plan and when? Nobody responded. This was last year. Even DPR kept quiet. So the issue became a court case.

Other residents living on the fringes of the estate whose houses were not even close to the area, also supported ASCON in their pursuit to make money, by putting a petrol station in that vicinity, despite the fact that a petrol tanker had also gone up in flames early last year on Admiralty Way just before the A-series junction close to the Pavilion side adjacent to the lagoon.

Now we can all see the effect of the Lagos State agencies' quest to make money at the expense of residents of Phase 1.

I feel so sad for both the owners of the station and the residents, as this could have been avoided, if the voice of reason had been allowed to prevail, last year. cry cry

Lekki Phase 1 Residents Sue ASCON Oil Over Attempt to Construct Petrol Station Inside Estate

June 11 has been fixed as a court date for the hearing of a suit by some residents of Lekki Scheme 1 to stop ASCON Oil Ltd from constructing a filling station within the residential estate…


The plaintiffs are Chief Rasheed Williams, Chief Kayode Aderinokun, Alhaji Useni, Mr Malachy Ezeoke, Mrs Ogunmokun and Mr Olajide Kuti.

The plaintiffs had filed the suit through their counsel, Mr Osaro Eghobamien (SAN), challenging the construction of a filing station by ASCON at Block 36, Plot 10, Lekki Peninsula Scheme 1, Lagos.



The plaintiffs are seeking among other reliefs, an order of perpetual injunction restraining ASCON from further constructing the filling station on the land.

Justice Kazeem Alogba had on March 6 granted an interim order stopping further construction activities until the suit was determined.

In their statement of claim, the plaintiff averred that the construction and operation of the petrol station by ASCON in the estate, would pose a threat to their lives, health and property in form of pollution.

They also said they would be exposed to serious danger and threat of fire or explosion by the station. http://www.sugardaily.ng/lekki-phase-1-residents-sue-ascon-oil-over-attempt-to-construct-petrol-station-inside-estate/

[quote author=THE NATION NEWSPAPERS - May 13th 2014] RESIDENTS SUE ASCON OVER FILLING STATION

Posted by: Precious Igbonwelundu in Law May 13, 2014

•‘It’s abuse of court process’

Residents of Lekki Phase One have gone to a Lagos High Court, to stop ASCON Oil Company Limited from building a petrol station in the area.
They are praying for an interlocutory injunction against the firm.

In a motion brought before Justice Kazeem Alogba, the claimants, Rasheed Williams, Kayode Aderinokun, Alhaji Useni, Malachy Ezeoke, Mrs. Ogunmokun and Olujide Kuti, are praying the court to mandate ASCON to stop work on Block 36, Plot 10, Lekki Peninsula Scheme I in Eti-Osa Local Government Area of Lagos State, pending the determination of the substantive suit.

Lagos State Physical Planning Permit Authority and the Commissioner, Lagos State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development are other defendants.

In their statement of claim, the claimants through their lawyer, Osaro Eghobamien (SAN)said the petrol station will pose a great environmental danger to the residents.

They argued that, despite protests by residents, ASCON has fast-tracked work on the property based on a development permit purportedly obtained from the Ministry of Physical Planning.

“The first defendant has intensified the construction of the petrol station both day and night with a view towards completing same and commencing operation of the station in a bid to frustrate any opposition to the petrol station.

“It is the claimants’ contention that the construction and operation of the petrol station on the particular land have serious environmental impacts which cannot be adequately mitigated.


“The environmental consequences of the situation of the petrol station on the land in issue range from environmental degradation, pollution, fire outbreaks and explosions, health hazards, huge traffic congestion and increased insecurity,“ they argued.

According to them, an environmental impact assessment ought to have been carried out on the land before the development permit was granted by the authorities for the construction of the petrol station, with a comprehensive report produced to the same effect.
In its notice of preliminary objection to the claimants’ suit, ASCON said the suit was premature, adding that the court lacks the jurisdiction to hear the matter, because it is an administrative issue.

ASCON averred that the case was an abuse of court process since another suit it instituted against the claimants was pending before the same court, urging the court to strike out the matter.

“There is a strong likelihood of judicial embarrassment if the action in this suit is allowed to co-exist with the action in Suit No: M/83/13.
“In the premises, the instant action constitutes a gross abuse of judicial process which this Honourable Court lacks jurisdiction to entertain,” the firm stated.

Atleast, democracy is at work. That he could even do it mean any other government who tries rubbish is in for it. Funny enough, I commend him for it cos its an eye opener for us that something feasible if we talk with one voice.

As for the. Price, you can't blame the government for it. I am into oil and gas, basically, I run some fuel station. Our last take from the depot is 87naira plus loading cost and every other expense to get it to our station. Its only natural for us not to sell at 87 but 90 to keep us in business.

One: the depot where we got our last stock from is Folawiyo and he is an APC person. Now, while I am not totally blaming party, but most of this oil marketers are politically inclined and many are of the opposition.

Two: The fact that they trying to use the election to extort monies thru subsidy payment is totally uncalled for. Just recently, he realeased N100billion to oil marketers. Those are the few ransomes that the presidency is being subjected to just to please nigerians, he just had to do something. Initially, they were asking for more than that...

We don't really understand the challenges the president is subjected and the fact that the citizens are compounding instead of showing more confidence in Mr. Present to do his job, yet, we still insult and degrade him.

I am yet to see someone who would give his own tenure a very hard time and claim its someone else. The is no sense in that.

Neway, its well. Thank you my amiable Prediso
Your last statement is so very funny! "Atleast, democracy is at work. That he could even do it mean any other government who tries rubbish is in for it. Funny enough, I commend him for it cos its an eye opener for us that something feasible if we talk with one voice."

Government has been dishing out rubbish for years to its citizens, and nothing has happened! The Discos have been computing crazy, inexplicable figures as electricity bills and dishing them out to customers for ages, and yet nothing has changed despite all their protests. sad

The solution is not to reduce bills by a certain percentage, but to put in place structures and processes to ensure that consumers are NOT charged arbitrarily for power that they do NOT consume!! shocked angry angry

Who can prove that the tarriff would not go back up, after the elections? undecided

You mentioned Folawiyo's depot selling petroleum products at a rate higher than the approved price, which makes it difficult for retailers to sell at government approved prices. Is the DPR dead or blind? Isn't it their job to ensure that products are sold at controlled prices both at the depot and in the filling stations? Why do we always 'politicise' everything instead of calling on relevant agencies to carry out their jobs and sacking those that compromise their duties because of expediency? In another country, the head of DPR would be sacked for failing to ensure that Folawiyo's depot sells fuel at the correct price! shocked

koolkesh:
I think what you should consider is how much the tokunbo of that car is right now. if you check online, for the price of non accident of that car in the U.S currently you would get it for like $6000-$7000 that is minus cost of shipping and clearing (p.s don't forget the high price of dollar and the increase in cost of clearing as well). That is current fact, I don't know about the story of your friends buying the car brand new in Nigeria for N1.7M (If you ask my opinion I strongly doubt that to be true), and if you make your own personal research of the brand new Tucson right now it would be around N3M Plus rough estimate, but what i know of is the current price of Tokunbo right now which is what i have given you.

After all that as been said and done, the price i quote here is also negotiable and there are different factors that dictates the prices of Used cars, condition of the car, urgency of sales, maybe the seller needs the money or he is isn't pressed to sell hence not desperate to let it go for just any price.
Bros, there is no reason to doubt the fact that my friends bout the car at =N=1.7 million. Or do you want me to post a copy of the receipt issued to them here on nairaland before you can believe it?

If you are still in doubt walk into the Hyundai office on Adeola Odeku in Victoria Island as well as the one on Ajose Adeogun and ask the Indian managers how much thy sold the first batch of Tucsons ever imported into the country. You would learn a lot from their responses. shocked

Finally, as newer models of a car are released, cost of the the older dated models fall in price. Also, prices of used cars differ from one state to the other even within the US. shocked

You cannot compare the price of a fresh tokunbo car imported from abroad that is still in solid condition that has gone through foreign MOT checks, with that of a used car that has been driven through our pot-hole ridden roads, fixed with tokunbo spare parts or coupled with poor maintenance culture in Nigeria.

Both cars have gone through two different lifestyles and changes. Their prices should reflect this, accordingly. undecided

I pity this country, is this not the same Amadi that has been saying all this years that it is only a. continuous upward review of electricity tarriff that can guarantee investment in power.I recall,he even said some time ago that our tariff is on of the cheapest in the world. Petrol was reduced by #10,and for the past two weeks virtually all filling stations in Nigeria is selling for #100 and above,Nigerians should simply do the needful,by punishing GEJ with their PVC come march 28.
Don't mind Amadi. They should just look for someone else that knows the right thing to do, to take over that seat.

NEPA?PHCN was privatised and the first thing the new owners did was to compute crazy bills and pass them on to customers, despite the fact that power supply was on a downward trend. I mean how can you compute a bill of 60,000 naira in one month for a 3-bedroom apartment in Festac town despite the fact that the property in question was not even occupied for more than half of the month?? shocked shocked huh

Am I running a bakery there or what? This is the same apartment that used to record a monthly bill of =N=7,000 oh, in the days of PHCN. Yet when Eko Disco took over, the bill shot to =N=60k monthly.

Totally unscrupulous people. We have written letters upon letters, yet nothing has been done.

Now Amadi is speaking German that the tarriff has been cut by 50%, as if he does not know that the Discos will still find ways to smuggle illegal, untenable, inexplicable, illogical figures into their monthly bills.

Was it not under Amadi's watch that pre-paid meters of =N=45k suddenly became =N=65khuh huh

What has he done about it?

No mind that houseboy that can't appoin commissioners without tinubu giving him list. Lagos lightrail is two years late, lekki airport no show, potable water no show. This na for small lagos where they have rejected transparency via the FOI Act yet nada to show.
Hehehehe ....! I no know say you sef see am! shocked Abeg, come here and collect a royal handshake for that observation...! grin

They made it compulsory for everyone to install pre-paid meters in my estate for water supply. We did so and bought credit to pay our water bills, via the banks. Yet for the past 2 months, Lagos State Water Corporation have stopped supplying us with pipe borne water despite all our entreaties and repeated visits to their office. angry We brought out all our payment slips and asked them to reconcile our bills and payments made till date, to prove that we are not owing them a dime. They declined, stating that since we now use pre-paid meters they do not have any records on payments made into their account by residents, and as such they cannot carry out any reconciliation! Imagine! shocked

We have all finally decided to construct a borehole in our compound, to save us from further agony. Now Fashola wants to privatise the water supply that does not exist. May God save us from this present government in Lagos.... shocked

Can I get an Amen from somebody...?? huh

With over 300 klm of underground cable transmission network already in the ground, tested and functioning as designed, with public institutions like hospitals, power works, schools, courts, secretariat and other state institutions off the grid, the work is almost done.
Kindly name the local schools that are being supplied with power generated from Fashola's IPP. To the best of my knowledge 80% of the primary and secondary schools in Lagos State are NOT being supplied with power from the IPP. Many of them lack clean potable pipe borne water, adequate sanitary facilities and WC. It is far cheaper to provide boreholes, toilets and sanitary facilities in these schools that to set up IPP to power their appliances. Yet, this has not been done in two-thirds of Lagos primary and post-primary public schools. angry

A lot of them cannot recall the last time they had steady electricity supply, since they are all hooked to the national grid. So which schoold did Fashola's IPP supply power to? Kindly let us know. undecided
