If anyone wants anyone to "go home" then a new agreement has to be written, you can't be operating under the same agreement that you dishonor but expect them to honor.

I agree with the OP. Telling people to go home is wrong and unconstitutional.

But, the problem is that if injustice is done to A and by B and people like the OP didn't see it as wrong, when that same injustice is done to B and they complain, it becomes a problem.

I don't understand something.

A guy gave you an engagement ring signifying an intention to marry you, that arrangement breaks down and now you are planning to "sell the ring or give it out". What happened to returning the ring to the person who gave it to you?

Time for the coach to try new players and also strengthen the team

kettykin:

The carrier is projected to increase its revenue to N150 billion in 2025 from N95 billion in 2024, indicating that Ibom Air is growing organically and positioning itself as an airline with the potential to revolutionise the airline business in Nigeria

Can someone please explain, is this part of Akwa-Ibom IGR and is this airline making profits

It will eventually make profits which will be for the state, it will capital appreciation too which will make the airline more valuable and this will be written as an asset of the state.

The airline also making Akwa Ibom its hub improves the economy of the state as it directly and indirectly creates employment. Even if all the pilots and workers are not Indigenes but a large percentage of them will live in Akwa Ibom and they will rent houses, they will use transportation, buy food, shop etc.

When he was broke in Nigeria, bro was not called a narcissist. But when she gain financial independent, it jumped out.

I am not saying the guy was not an abusive prick just wondering why she didn't leave him when they were both in Nigeria

The Bible never said this because even if you are rich, you can still sin.

The Bible said "If any man sin, we have an Advocate before God". We are in a world of sin and we are humans, we will sin. Whether rich or poor, it doesn't Matter

Brendaniel:
So are you saying sealing the buildings wasn't an option?

Why didn't Edo, Anambra and Abia state government just seal.

It isn't an option in those states?

Nigerians don't understand consequences.

Brendaniel:
Are you saying the people there are more powerful than the state government ?

They had ample time to comply, they had time to get approvals, I hope you know some developers did. Those don't have 2 heads do they?

Brendaniel:
So because some people beat up the agents there then the best solution is demolition? what happened to arrest and prosecution?

Obviously you want to ignore salient points and argue just because you want to argue.


Tell the developers to go to court. The same court the ruled that the state government has the right on building approval matters in. 2003

43Ronin:
They got approval from the FG, & have been paying permits to the FG there was no need for a demolition, its pure hatred, done in bad faith. If the intentions of the government was in good faith, it would have been the state asking the federal to remit such payments to the state or ask for certain accruals into the state coffers then clearly communicate to the nigerian citizens. The primary aim of govt is to secure lives & properties of its citizens not Destroy it because of common levies or taxes. Will the funds LASG get from that place be stupendous?

No, this is false.

Under the Nigerian Urban and Regional Planning Act of 1992, only state governments are allowed to issue building approvals whether on FG land or anywhere else. Those building must seek approvals.

Who do we blame when the developers went as far as beating up government agents last year who went to serve notices and inspect the illegality?

Brendaniel:
Why didn't the state government just seal the buildings and ask all owners to go and get approvals from the state before opening the buildings?

so the best solution is to start destroying people's sweat? look at what you people are trying to defend, is the government designed to guide the people or to fight them?

Doesn't this look like vendetta?

I mean they said the people did not get approvals, why not seal the buildings and tell the people to get approvals, you people just like defending evil...

The government gave them time to apply, some complied, others refused.

Heck they even beat up staff of the state government who went to dialogue with them last year.

What else should government do? Keep allowing illegality?

Senator Umeh is right but also very wrong.

When it comes to federal government estates, and land sold by the FG the FG takes jurisdiction but only on land being developed by the FG.
Example: if the FG is building an army building inside a barracks, it is entirely on the exclusive list and the state has no say but the moment the FG sells the land to a non government party, such person(s) must get approvals from the state to build even after getting FG approvals.

This was the hubris of the builders who assumed that they had no business with the state even when the state asked that they come and apply for permits and get approval

Trade Fair Demolitions: Senator Umeh Condemns Lagos Government’s Action, Labels It Illegal

Senator Victor Umeh, representing Anambra Central and former National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), has condemned the recent demolitions at the Trade Fair Complex in Lagos, describing them as unlawful and beyond the jurisdiction of the Lagos State Government.

Speaking on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief on Monday, Umeh said the move by the Lagos State Commissioner for Physical Planning was “a clear breach of the law and an affront to due process.”

“The country is governed by laws and the constitution. I’m disappointed that the Commissioner for Physical Planning in Lagos State came on air to justify an illegal action,” he stated.

According to him, the Trade Fair Complex is a federal property managed by the Federal Government through the Trade Fair Management Board, and therefore not under Lagos State’s control.

“The Trade Fair Complex is a federal establishment where the Lagos State Government moved in with heavy machinery to destr%y people’s properties and investments without justification,” Umeh said. “Federal lands are managed by federal agencies, not state governments. Such properties are recorded in the Federal Land Registry in Ikoyi, not in the Lagos Land Registry in Alausa.”

Umeh, who is also a fellow of the Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers, maintained that the state government had no authority to act on federal land. He emphasized that the Trade Fair Management Board has always handled all administrative functions, including development approvals, property rates, and ground rent.

“The Lagos State Government has never performed any of these duties there until about two weeks ago when they moved in to demolish buildings on September 25,” he said.

The senator further described the demolitions as an “intrusion,” stating that neither the board nor traders received prior notice.

Umeh also refuted claims that the demolished buildings were erected on canals or without proper approval, insisting that all structures were duly approved by the Trade Fair Management Board.

The Cape Town - Cairo road is not a new road under construction. It is just joining old roads together to form a long stretch.

The Lagos-Calabar Expressway though is being built from scratch
