I am NOT a fan of Ajimobi neither do I have any political affiliation to him. (Pls note)
Why was he given a leverage over others in the first place?
It's saddening to read your vile outbursts even from a point of naivety! Not only Ayefele's building but buildings which distort initial outlay of the road..
By the way your comparison with those countries are laughable in this case! cheesy
Excuse me.. Are you A Nigerian? Just asking...
Just read what you wrote. Does anything there make sense?

Name one country in the world where government can choose to demolish a building with approved building plan without compensation. Does being a Nigerian mean impunity should be supported?

Have you read the notice given to him by the state govt (between the lines)? In my opinion, the station has a lot of sympathy from the govt. That is why they have not pull it down till now. I do not have much time to be responding to your question, but I advice you to tune to his radio station and listen to some of the appeals the way the presenters are diplomatically appealing to fans to help in persuading the govt to renege on their plans to demolish the building. Then, you will understand better.

If Ayefele is sure that his building is not at fault, why not advice him to go to court and seek redress.
It's obvious you don't know much about this issue and are not willing to open your closed mind to enlightenment.

The case is already in court and Ayefele has secured a restraining order on the government's proposed demolition.

Saying that they enjoyed previous government sympathy is hearsay as I'm sure you don't have any evidence to prove that.

If you knew anything about law you would know that government can only demolish illegal structures without compensation. If they choose to continue with their nefarious plans, then they should be ready to pay compensation through their nose for illegal demolition as the building plan was approved.

Let's see if they will dare proceed with their plan when slammed with a potential 1bilion naira lawsuit.

But then again, this is Nigeria where precedent has already been laid for contravention of court orders so who knows?

There is a lot of difference between an approval for an office complex and a radio station. Building of a mast to transmit etc. please go and visit the place before arguing. There are more than 12 radio stations in ibadan, why is his own mark specially for obsructing building plan.

I listened to one of the program on the station this morning (Teretayo by Olalomi Amole and Olaiya) and the presenters were even appealing to fans not to abuse or say anything negative about the issue but plead their cause with the state govt.

For your information, I am a fan of the musician and as we speak, i have more than 9 of his musical video, but i don't allow my emotion to becloud my sense of judgement.
Why don't you respond to points I raised?

If the station was deemed to be in violation of safety, why was same not demolished when the road was being built and ayefele compensated to relocate? Why is it this expedient now?

Your argument is even working against you.

Are you now alleging it is the mast and not the structure that is the problem?

Bro please stop supporting impunity. If the government intends to demolish the structure for political gains let them say so. Even if that was an office would the position of the building change?

Has the government stated their intent to demolish the building to widen the road? Are they ready to pay compensation?

Yet again I ask has the government gone ahead to install something so basic as speed bumps and road signs to check unsafe driving in that vicinity?

Setbacks are building restrictions imposed on property owners. Local governments create setbacks through ordinances and Building Codes, usually for reasons of public policy such as safety, privacy, and environmental protection.

Required Setback from Highways and Roads

Primary (Federal or State) Highway 90m right of way – 45 meters from the centre.
Secondary (Federal or State) Highway (60m Right of way) 30meters from the centre.
Local Road (State) (24m, 18m, 15m, 12m) – 12m, 9m, 7.5m, 6m.
Access Road / Street 9 metres, 6metres from the edges.

I am from ibadan and have been to that same building twice, so, please before arguing, go and visit the place and the first thing that will cross your mind is the distance between that building and the main road.
Oga. Please refer to the reason stated by the government for the proposed closure before running your commentary.

They allege that building approval obtained was for an office not a radio station and not because of your setback sir.

Even if that were to be the case, why then was the building approved?

Also what any responsible government interested in maintaining your setback does is to pay compensation to building owners and then proceed to demolish.

So pray do tell, was this done? No

Have safety signs and speed bumps being installed on the road? No

Was building constructed after road was built? No

Was building plan approved? Yes

So what then is your case?

Sir all your points above can only be done at the expense of tax payers

You forget the radio station is also a tax payer. Installing necessary safety devices on roads to forestall accidents is the basic duty of any responsible government.


They would have been valid if it were an embassy, or some building with high interest value of the government.
Please explain what you mean by high interest value

But it is just a radio station which can easily operate anywhere in the state
Just a radio station... Do you have any idea how much time and money it takes to set up a radio station? Does it need to be government house before the government will awake to its responsibility of promoting the growth of businesses and securing lives?

Why can't it be relocated, save lives and unnecessary expenses?
Why should a tax paying business operating for 10years with all the necessary approvals in place be relocated to pander to the whims and caprices of an irresponsible power drunk government agency who instead of being alive to their responsibilities have chosen to engage in the victimisation of businesses that are providing employment opportunities to citizens of the state? Has this government taken a step back to evaluate the economic impact of the potential closure of this station?


my good sir, you are not asking the right questions;

does the building comply with the blue print of the road?
Road was constructed after the building was erected and designed to take into consideration the position of the structure so why the cries now?

how and why was the parcel of land approved and allocated if it is not in line with the blueprint?
Yet again refer to my earlier response. But just to reiterate blueprint for road took the structure of the building into consideration and subject building plan was approved.

what adequate compensation is necessary to appease party involved and end further tarnishment of the state government. ..
This is just plain silly. What compensation is government entitled to? Are taxes not being paid by the radio station? Or is this another ploy for extortion(corruption in high places) In fact the state government is the one tarnishing their image by engaging in this political witch-hunt when they have not done the first thing to secure the lives of road users in that vicinity.

Have you seen the said music house that was mark for demolition? If so, you need to see it. The setback to the main road is not adequate. Nevertheless, I think Ayefele should not take this matter too far because his music house is at fault. Is it only his radio station that is not supporting the government in ibadan, certainly no. Rather, he can just go about it diplomatically and probably use his influence to appeal to the government house to see how they can resolved the matter without demolishing the entire building.
What do you know about setback sir? What should be the appropriate setback distance? What is the current setback of the building? Why was the building plan approved? In the building plan,was the setback not stated? Why was it approved?

Kindly get the story well to know what went wrong.
I am ma and not sir grin
You are the one who has not read the story well ma. The government alleged that approval obtained was for an office not a radio station hence the structure is illegal meanwhile from 2008-date government has been collecting tenement rates and taxes and took cognizance of the structure in the design of the subject road. Be that as it may, that is absolutely no grounds for demolition. This station is a legitimate business with all the necessary approvals to run its radio business. You can go through my other comments on subject matter on what a responsible government should do in this scenario to limit or address whatever safety concerns experienced.
CelebritiesRe: Yinka Ayefele: Demolition Of My N800m Music House Politically Motivated by obi58: 11:40am On Aug 18, 2018

Sir

firstly the building is located at a bend i.e without the building, the road will run straight. ..

Ok if that be the case, why doesn't the government place warning signs indicating a coming bend with speed bumps placed at 10 metre intervals around the culversack?

Secondly, the road adjoins lagos-ibadan express road so you can be certain that many of the road users there are on top speed; overtaking at that bend occurs alot thereby causing accident. ..

That's just plain silly... So because it adjoins an express way that is why people should attempt speeds for expressroads on internal roads? Where are the traffic monitoring agencies? Why are speed limits not imposed? In fact can't hungry SARS be sent to the road to enforce sanity? Is it not suicidal to attempt overtaking at a bend? Whilst attempting express road speeds ?


Thirdly, when there is any activity going-on at the building, most vehicles park on that road and throngs of people move in and out, creating risk to themselves as well as other road users; shall i go on?
Yet again, this is no reason for demolition, government can enforce compliance by imposing sanctions on vehicle owners improperly parked (towed away) or on the radio station if it's activities constitute a traffic jam. Please provide more cogent reasons. All I see here are just excuses for bad behaviour and lack of supervision/inaction by government agencies.

that building needs to go, accidents there are too much these days....

i stay at the mouth end of eyini, opposite ayefele...

the accidents that occur there everytime is alarming!

the road there needs to be widened. ..

all the other buildings are far inside, only ayefele is outside; on the road... making the road to tilt leftward thereby creating risk for motorists

it is not witch hunt, it is progressive

that building is on the road joor

please look at the picture closely and see the next building how far inside it is
Please can we be rational in our discourse?

From the picture, how does this structure pose an accident threat?

From the picture, the road is well tarred with two lanes on either side clearly demarcated. It is not located at a bend or on a slope and there is no pothole in front of the building. Again the road is not a 'face me I face you' road so pray do tell how this building is responsible for accidents at the junction?

Except if the driver is a madman driving at breakneck speed or trying to overtake senselessly there is absolutely no reason why an accident should occur at that location.

If the government were interested in curtailing road accidents around that junction, they could install speed bumps, install traffic lights and increase police supervision of that axis and not all this baseless victimisation.

Therefore, accusations that the structure is a causative factor is clearly false and a mere subterfuge for some other ulterior motive.

As a neutral, I'm beginning to believe that this plot is clearly politically motivated.

I should be asking you if you're in this country. You made it look like vote buying is peculiar to Apc,which is not true.It cuts across party lines in fact it was the pdp that introduced it.
The only reported case of vote buying across party lines was in Ekiti.

Did you hear same about Kogi where onions were being distributed?

My problem with this ruling party is that in spite of claiming they are the dominant force, they are still unwilling to allow a level playing field at the elections to test their popularity and let the masses confirm or disprove their popularity by votes.

In the North, even INEC officials are intimidated to look the other way whilst rigging is being done korokorooo even in the face of the security agencies.

You saw what happened to that female corper who was mercilessly beaten for trying to conduct a free and fair election.

Of course, I don't expect you to embrace the truth but the reality is that if you like lie from today till tomorrow Nigerians have seen that the so called change is a scam and we all will still have to survive in this mess.

Demolition notice was the last thing....they were non responsive and the government want to do the needful!

“the letter to Fresh FM was received by one Bamiduro Aderonke and a reminder letter dated 18thAugust 2017 was sent to the radio station to again request for the planning approval/permit for the Radio Station in line with the Oyo State Physical and Development Control laws in which the radio station was expected to forward the approved Building plan to the Bureau within seven days, noting that a copy of the letter was received by Adebisi Akinfunmi on the 21st of August 2017”.
Demolition is just plain stupid. At the extreme the building can be sealed off pending whatever permits or approvals are obtained.
PoliticsRe: Yinka Ayefele’s Fresh FM Demolition Not Act Of Witchhunt – Oyo Government by obi58: 5:42am On Aug 16, 2018
As far as I'm concerned, serving a notice of demolition is quite extreme.


If fresh FM had contravened the building plans and was served notice to make the appropriate modifications and file a new plan, then they should be given time under careful supervision.

To enforce compliance, they can start by imposing fines for contravention if written notices are not adhered to. At the extreme, the building can be sealed off pending obtaining the necessary permits which will of course be issued sequel to implementing the necessary modifications if of course it's nota guise to extort money from the radio station.

To me it's the height of stupidity to serve demolition notices on existing businesses without exploring the economic impact of such decisions. Government should be involved in supporting the growth of businesses and not shutting them down when they are not even in the position to provide employment opportunities.
