The Lagos State government did provide an alternative market but the traders rejected it for sundry reasons, including the fact that the structures are storey buildings, rather than bungalows which they preferred for ease of moving their goods. They were not persuaded by the explanation that land is a very scarce commodity in Lagos in view of the state’s small geographical size and the exponential growth rate of its population currently put at 21million. Nor were they interested in the argument that electronics dealers in bigger markets on Lagos Island have their stalls in storey buildings, to say nothing about manufacturers in China, Hong Kong, Singapore and elsewhere producing in high rise buildings. I was to understand from Kalu Onuma, the efficient head of the Ndigbo Lagos secretariat, that the Igbo leadership in Lagos has for long been advising the market leaders unsuccessfully to drop their opposition to doing business in stalls located in storey buildings.
Frankly, the leadership of the Owonifari Market is difficult. It hired the services of Ben Nwabueze, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and Africa’s most engaging constitutional law scholar as well as the founding secretary general of Ohaneze Ndigbo, in their fight against market relocation. They quickly disagreed. The traders now turned to Jimoh Lasisi, SAN, a fine gentleman. He took a dispassionate look at their case and told them that the law was not in their favour, all the more so since the Land Use Act vested land ownership in the state governor. The traders had relied on a letter from an official of the Federal Ministry of Housing to argue that the state government had no right over them since they were operating under a Federal Government bridge. Jimoh asked them to look for a negotiated settlement. That was how they approached me. “These traders do not like the truth or professional advice so I am surprised that they could meet someone like you”, Lasisi told me when I visited him in his office at Onipan on Lagos Mainland.

Why did Amaechi decide to cancel the project? That would have been the first and only Maritime University in Nigeria. We all know the development it will bring to Warri as a whole and also the prospect it will offer locals. Amaechi did not do well. I can bet that no true Oduan or Arewan will cancel project that is cited on their land. Amaechi must be called to order by the President. Damn!

This judgement portrays danger
This shows the opposition and perceived enemies of the president will never get a fair hearing in court as long as Buhari keeps lording over the judiciary.
400million for what Is this where Buhari and his incompetent finance minister hopes to source for funds after the fall in oil price

You don't seems to know much, all the points the op raised are valid.

Two different things, bag search happens every now and then, even here in Lagos. Phone search is a definite No No. Personally, I find it demeaning as they wouldn't try that with any self respecting person.

Again, any self respecting person would say No and cite privacy policy and subsequent offer to make available any document or answer any question that would help them come to a decision. I am sure you would do just fine if your purpose of entry is genuine.

2. Unless i'm mistaken you can't just buy a one way ticket.

3. If i have a credit card, how are they going to know how much i have on it.

4. There is a weight limit on luggage even before you leave your home country.

5. The traveler is just st.upid. The world has gone digital. It is not even an issue.

6. That point is also s.tupid. It has nothing to do with anything.

7. Doesn't make any sense.

8. Doesn't make any sense.

9. Doesn't make any sense.

10. Doesn't make any sense.

irondome:
While they have the right to deny you entry if you spooked them, they have got no right to invade your privacy. They may request politely to look through your phone, however, you have the right to politely say NO as well.

maestroferddi:
Senselessness propaganda at its peak.

Who the hell are the above faceless elements masquerading as PDP leadership?

Even the daftest fool knows the channel through which PDP communicates her official position.

These APC sponsored cheap and thoughtless propaganda are getting as embarrassing as they are nauseating...
