You want government to provide land for you to do your personal business?No wonder Fulani herdsmen are also demanding land from Federal Government

if that is how u see it

The festac residents should be ready for the increase in robbery and kidnapping .... Infact, that whole Express road from mile 2, any body passing there should take any thing they see there

Hmm.
Didn't you know that order to leave that place has been issued a long time ago?.
What do you expect government to do when people refused the vacate the place?.
It's okay for us to blame the government for their insensitivity on what the people are passing through but should peopl continue to occupy where they are not need?.

LAGOS STATE NO GET MOUTH FOR THE MOVES OF FHA.

EVEN THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT OFFICE IN FESTAC TOWN IS BEING CONSIDERED FOR DEMOLITION.

FESTAC TOWN IS A PURELY FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ESTATE. THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT IS A SCAM.

SO @naptu....its was the FHA TASK FORCE THAT DEMOLISHED THAT AXIS..WHEREAS THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT WAS COLLECTING ILLEGAL TAXES FROM THEM.

Goldenurch:
Don't mind all these people spreading unverified information..instead of reaching out to FHA for the exact version or accurate details, they are crediting the demolishing to Lagos State..wetin concern Okada man with seat belt?

I wish I had seen this earlier.

It is always very important to read the text before reacting to it. What are you reacting to if you haven't read and understood what was written?

It was clearly stated in the article that the FHA invited the Lagos State Task Force to carry out the demolition. Of course I know that the FHA owns Festac Town. I have been going there since the late 1970s when it was new and houses were still being allocated. Read what is written in the article.

It is only the poor people the government will be terrorizing.

Why are they not demolishing all the illegal buildings that were built on, for example, the love/sport gardens all over Festac?

If you check now, you'd find out that area is a residential area not meant for markets..

EXCELLENT!
Nigeria might eventually stop being a nation of ANYHOWNESS.

Btw, the area is NOT “Buffa Zone” but rather a designated buffer zone…
Sand-filing it, as the traders boasted, merely diverted water flow and made other areas flood-prone!

Festac used to have green areas (and obviously good roads and tap water)…
It therefore sounds like what the government is trying to restore. Kudos to them.

They shouldn’t have been there in the first place…
And sand-filing the place rendered other areas flood-prone.

Nigeria will never advance until we abide by basic laws, rules and regulations…
We always accuse the elite of impunity but it actually runs THROUGHOUT society.

Every single space in Lagos is turned into a market these days…
Sidewalks, traffic islands, bus stops, etc., and then we complain about chaos and filth.

Hardship continues. They were given 7days to move out. I went through those places yesterday, I literally wept for the thousands of families that were affected. I wonder how they would cope going forward.

Ishilove:
One week is too short a time frame to give them. Lagos is run by an elitist government that does not care for the hoi polloi.

FHA has been giving these guys notice for SEVERAL YEARS now…
I remember when they tried to do PPP for Festac Town Phase II, they gave notice and it was IGNORED!

rectitude:
Creating more problems and less solutions have been the order of the day with the leadership of this country. The traders are now left to their fate.

Why can't there be a provisional market that these traders can be moved to before demolishing the shops they toiled so hard to acquire.

Only God can help us now.

Frankly, I have mixed feelings here…
As human beings we are empathetic, but society really shouldn’t be “rewarding” rule-breakers. Like kidnapping, it merely encourages more.
