But I want to understand something.
Assuming that these people bought 'gazzetted' land as claimed - or whatever term the government is using to absolve itself of culpability, is it not in the place of the buildings regulation and town planning agencies to inform and deter them from erecting structures in the said lands?

Why wait till billions have been wasted on the lands before they come in and remind the unfortunate heads that they are occupying an illegal land?

Wow. It is well.
(Victims) Their next plan should be how to move on, they shouldn't waste more energy on lamentations, please. The deed is done. Life goes on still.

May God provide for them to sustain and continue with life.

People who failed to do the right things always pay bigger for it in the long run.

Before you buy any property pls do due diligence by checking the status/title of the land from the relevant authorities to avoid the story that touch.

Always targeting the Igbos. Go round Lagos state and find out that it's only the Igbo communities that this issue of demolition takes place. And you want the same people to vote our son Tinubu.

Fulanis and Hausas live in different slumps and dirty environment but you you will not go and demolish their shanties. Look at beautiful houses being targeted. Why do we hate Igbos like this?

Home of Idolatry, Estate of Notorious Sinner's... I believe this is good for them.

Gbagura:
So why lamenting when you know you will survive? Nobody should have brought the demolition to nairaland then. Most of you just spew trash willingly.

Those igbos whose buildings were fell knows what huge loss they've incurred and the donkey years it took then to gather the money. The point is that, igbo are too proud to face reality. Stop dragging Lagos with Yoruba people, go home and develop your region.

Nobody will demolish your properties anyhow over there but no, you won't listen. You rather waste your money building houses that would later be demolished and the cycle continues.

Let me burst you, Lagos State government barely give non-Yorubas the c/o which means the land they bought is just a rent in disguise. The chance of a non-Yoruba getting the c/o in Lagos is 1/1000. If you doubt me, find out for yourself.

izzou:


Let's agree that the buildings are illegal

Why did it take FHA more than a decade to stop this?

Why wasn't anyone prosecuted for selling the land then? Or would someone just spend millions of naira to buy a property without being assured it's legit?

Nigeria is just like that. The Ikoyi building had approval too. The government saw him taking it to 21 stories. But when it collapsed, that's when we will hear that they didn't approve is.

Nigeria is that confused

thundafire:
Before buying land make sure it's not government own? Because government always warn people but the refuse to hear and our government na anytime the wake up they go dey pro-active. Before buying land make inquiry if it's government designated lands or not they people don't have C OF O and can't do anything

erico2k2:

I agree with you hence people should be held accountable for these actions. Someone somewhere in government knows about it and i gaurantee you, these lands will be resold!

So only igbos have houses in that area?

It has always been a scam from corrupt government officials.

It is only in Nigeria that government agents would sell a parcel of land to you, using government documents

The same government that deems it illegal won't stop you from building. After a decade, they would come back and say it's illegal.

Did this people buy the land from a roadside mechanic? Their documents definitely have FHA receipts attached to it. I know someone that has this Phase 2 form from the same FHA

Everything in this country is upside down

How can you go an buy land from "Government Agents" when you're not either an illiterate, idiot or deceitful yourself. How can you go and buy land without first running a search to ascertain the land is not under government acquisition or encumbrance? At the point where you're securing your building approval, Governor's consent is ideally a prerequisite, but trust Nigerian to circumvent the process (bribe giver and bribe takers), then when government now come, excuses like you give here become the order of the day.

@bolded part, just shows your ignorance. Is that how government lands are acquired?

egoldman:


I like the way you put it , at least you are hiding your hatred and jealousy.

Festac and especially amuwo odofi properties are 95% owned by Igbos and this act will not change anything , so its you that hate that have the greater burden , hatred will only eat you from the inside and destroy you while the person you hate keep move upward.

Pipefitter:
I wanted to buy land there as far back as 2011 through an agent when land there was as cheap as 1 million. The agent that got my flat told me that the place belongs to FHA not Ado royal family as marketed. He said he could have become a millionaire selling land there but his conscience wouldn't let him. I didn't get the land, the money self don finish for data
