Labour Party Knocks Sanwo-Olu Over Closure Of Ladipo, Oyingbo Markets

Lagos know be Anambra and Aba please if you don’t abide with Lagos policy then you’re free to move your market to Ebonyi. Thanks

So SS should shut oil production become FG isn’t cleaning up spillage

Shut it and let's hear word.
The hausas are the ones who own your oil blocks, but you dare not question them.
But you are ever ready to pour spit on Yoruba, when we even have this same oil in abundance.

OROSUNBOLB:


Wetin dis one dey talk ? Orishirishi,what asset ? Aso Rock,Lagos Airport blah,blah, blah..... what a dumb comparison ! You better take whatever useless asset you consider those filthy markets and criminal havens to be to one of your numerous villages in alaigbo !

What happens in Nigeria doesn't happen any where in the world
E de pain u that I mentioned other areas, continue.
Most of you cannot distinguish between the best way to approach matters again.
You can close your own indefinitely.

SmartPolician:


First, there's nothing like Igbo market in Lagos. Lagos State is a Yoruba land.

Secondly, even the big markets in Aba, Onitsha and Enugu are dirty.

I don't do that tribalism nonsense with you people. I say it the way it is. If you don't like it, I don't give a hoot.

How many Yoruba people are doing business in Ladipo

candidtalk:


Bro, Ladipo and other traditional markets won't even exist going forward. The SW crafted the DAWN regional development initiative in opposition , circa 2012 -2013, because we assumed not controlling the centre meant we had draw on our cumulative strengths, as a region, to develop Yoruba land, free of the encumbrance of 'one Nigeria' , as Tinubu did with Lagos when he was the only opposition SW governors in the SW for a long time.

With Tinubu claiming ground off OBJ's PDP, to add 4 ACN governors to Lagos, it became obvious an alliance with the North's CPC, ANPP etal could oust the PDP. Hence the birth of APC.

The Yoruba leaders gave the allegiance their all and threw their weight behind Buhari thinking he would be a leader of integrity who would embrace and pursue the holistic reforms and restructuring Nigeria, and the SW in particularly, craved badly.

Alas Buhari had his own agenda. This has now convinced SW leaders and intelligentsia class that we should never have allowed ourselves to deviate from pursuing DAWN because we assumed being part of the centre would provide the regional autonomy and 'free hand' we had always craved.

Now, with or without the Presidency, the SW is determined to develop and modernise as region regardless of who is President and whatever governance structure is in operation. We have been in opposition and at the centre, since 1999 democracy began, to now understand conclusively that permanent autonomy is what matters. Not the Presidency per se or the absence of it.

Bro ask any intelligent Yoruba you know. Nowhere do very bright and exposed Yorubas gather and they do not talk of what I am stating here. It is a new consciousness we are not compromising with.

I only pity people who want to remain in 1972 while Yorubas don port go 2028.

I'm happy to read this.
We just can't continue like this, things have to change drastically.
I'll go and flow the DAWN page to know what they're up to.

See mumu question.
Your wish is to kuku drive Yoruba people out of lagos so you can occupy it totally, isn't it?
Oshisco.

Lagos has an established body that collects money from traders to clean up the markets. If any trader defaults, close the persons shop, while closing the whole market? A failure of the system is more a failure of governance

OyeofIkoTuN:


drivers don't obey the rules..
Your children have been home due to ASUU strike but dirty market is the headache..
why haven't the dirty slums been cleaned up?person go write trash with full chest.

One ipig who sleeps and wakes up inside dirty has taken the stage.
Keep disgracing yourself with your senseless talk.

@ SugarGirl44

Useless post from a useless Ewu!

Tinubu is a globe reowned drug criminal, he will never rule this Country !!

Sanwolu is a sickle cell tribalistic fool!!

Edopesin:
I remember when a colleague told me about an apartment in Lagos she was trying to get and then the landlord told her straight up that he doesn't want igbo.

this was after we argued once where I said that Yoruba are the least tribalistic in the country only after Edo

Igbos are basically impossible to deal with as tenants. They'll almost chase you out of your own house. And ohhh! They can be soooo dirty

nedekid:

You wount return to iragbiji or the hell hole you and your puppies sprouted from. You now come to Lagos with your ghana must go bag to squat with some uncle, borrow data to be writing crap.
Dont worry, I will inform sanwo olu to mount toll gate for you lot. You will need visa to leave iragbiji.

Werey.
At least Iragbiji is in this same SW.
There are Yorubas in Benin republic, and they have more rights in Yorubaland than a mere refugee from the east, know that today.
So cry very well.

Kingspin:
Imagine the Dubai government closing down Dubai mall.
Nigerian authorities represent the highest level of irresponsibility on earth.
Some decisions they make, I always ask myself; is this decision made by a human being? Or goat?
If you ask, they will say we are playing politics, useless politics.
The government is dirty, why won't the country be dirty?

Note: My comments are not based on any tribal or religious sentiments.
I am only making general suggestions
Those markets can be closed section by section.

So the cleanliness of dubai mall and ladipo na the same!! Next time make sensible apples to apples comparison. I have been to a street market in London for fresh fruit and vegetables and it was neat as can be. Look at the Nigerian version...its a mess!

We are filthy people who won't do the right thing unless forced and this is the government forcing the issue. If they can't comply with basic sanitation, then so be it.

Tinubuwins2023e:
Ladipo has become a pandemic and needed to be overhauled. That place is filled will thieves, miscreants and armed robbers. Good one from Sanwo Olu.

Update:
Why is Labour party issuing this statement? Is Labour party a igbo/regional party? Are there only igbo traders in those markets? Igbos exposed

Oyinbgo too is hell to visit. You'll find absolutely nowhere to park your car

asanausana91:
why didn't him provide an alternative market before embarking on this political closing of market? Tinubu is playing with fire.

Provide market for who?
Who are you again?
Does this place look like anambra to you?
Go to your region and ask your smelly governors to provide you with markets.

Playing with fire ko, ode.
A nonentity ipig too has phone to browse Nairaland.
Wonders shall never end.

Tonnierichy:

That's is the unfortunate truth! It's not racial or tribalistic it's just a fact that has its reason in culture. Same way most violent crimes are carried out by people of Eastern origin.

Yoruba have their problems and I own up to them. Hausa have their problem too (illiteracy and corruption, nepotism)

COMPAQ:

The government is dirty that why Nigeria is dirty.
You will see dirty markets across Nigeria but best option is not to close them indefinitely for two months or more?
We are not saying it because is Lagos, No.
Everywhere in Nigeria.
I used Dubai because both government and people are working together.

This kind party and her members
they’ve something in common.. they no really knw what they want

You notice from year to year this issue occurs. Why?? Every year.
Countries have move on..

candidtalk:
This is not targeted at Igbos. I have warned Nigerians till Blue in the face and spammed this forum to death over what is shown below.

Everything, for the Yorubas today, is about regional governance and shaping the SW in the most progressive way as quickly as possible.

Buhari's divisive Presidency, where the likes of Malami was given free reign to bully Sanwo-Olu etal, helped massively to harmonise this opinion in all Yoruba leaders, across Party lines, to now create seige mentality that is not going away anytime soon.

As someone involved in the governance of Lagos, though not as a politician or public administrator, I can tell you Sanwo-Olu is the most reform-minded of all Governors since Tinubu.

Only thing is that he does it with a smile so you will never know what he is capable of and will never see it coming. Unlike Fashola who is transparently honest to a fault. He will tell you his opinion to your face.

Lagos wants to move away from open and disorganised market structures that cause traffic, create filth, overcrowding and prevent the emergence of the type of modern markets and sophisticsted megacity synergy, like London, the State wants to pursue.

I have warned Igbos many times that they are the most ignorant and most vulnerable to what is shown below that Tinubu, Atiku or Obi Presidency can never stop.. It is not fight with anyone but Yorubas are simply tired of 'one Nigeria' regression.

They are now after accelerated modernity and rapid socio-economic progress, in a regional context, that will at least make the SW on par with South Africa, in the short term, and capable of evolving as developed European nations have done.

Those who have ears let them hear. Go and prepare for what is shown below and get ready to build from your regional base and not that of the SW.

Don't start to cry when Yoruba leaders, unitedly, begin to aggressively shape the SW region in the image they want.

Nice write up. That’s the same reasons the LASG is relocating computer village. Open and disorganized markets should be gradually phased out. Thanks

I too like the gbasgbos on the first page.

They didn't allow Zombidients to have their way.

Kudos guys.

For a fact, those traders have damaged the environment beyond anything. Imagine dumping disused spare parts and damaged windscreen in the drains.

The big canal close to the market is where they defaecate. It's surely one of the dirtiest part of Lagos and the market leadership don't seem to care about it.

iSense247:
Because you want to sound unbiased you end up surpporting evil. Are the Igbo dominated markets the dirtiest markets in Lagos? What of markets dominated by Yorubas and Hausas? Be wise and sincere for once.

All traders must do is convince the authorities that their market is clean with proper waste market facilities. I know Oyingbo very well, the please is a shit hole and should be closed down. The majority of the traders at Oyingbo market are from Dahomey and Egun selling dry fish and foodstuff.

noble2faith:


There are different ways to kill a stubborn rat!

Sanwolu picked the unsuspicious one to deal with the fictional lost tribe of Israel!

See its not good to be bias but both the government and he traders need to be blaim.
Let me point government failure... Like in my area, lawma never for once show up in my street yet those guys will bring bills. Service that we never benefited .

Nwatachoba1:
If the government have or had given warning and still no change den I support their actions

The way oyingbo market is now eehn,the way it was built is wrong.. na why e dey stuffy and those selling things along the road,close to the construction site where that bridge is and those selling on the land where fuel station was previously, they are so dirty, imagine selling crayfish on broken blocks and the water from the bridge being erected there made the ground an eyesore yet people dey put foodstuffs there to sell...when u go oyingbo for morning, u go know wetin I dey talk.. government needs to pull down that structure dey erected and called oyingbo ultra modern market, the construction is so terrible, how u expect food sellers to rent shops up? Build am to k-klamp model,but with bricks instead of containers.. and make spaces between each lines..more like mile 12 market, bariga market etc

This is an example of constructive criticism.

In truth, the govt needs to start erecting stalls that will be affordable for petty traders in the markets. Lagos would have been a very beautiful city if not for disorderliness. Imagine Lagos without roadside traders.

I remember the day Oshodi was cleaned up by Fashola. I was going to Lagos from Abeokuta on that Sunday morning. I couldn't believe my eyes when I reached Oshodi. Never knew the road was that wide. Everywhere looked so different. People were like 'Is this Oshodi?'

Lagos is really missing Fashola's zero tolerant approach to disorderliness. That's why I like parliamentary system of government.

BATified2023:
u sabi wetin Igbo tenants dey use people eye see
Once their rent due like this,they will prefer to take u to court n use 6 months free than pay d money


2 people I no fit put for house na police n igbo

I no blame the landlord oo, wetin my eyes sef don see with these guys no be small thing.
they flout all the house rules and have too many wahala.

LegendHero:


Nice one brother.

It seems that is the way to go now.

Bro, I drove past Ibara parts market Lekki the other day. The same one Igbos are making noise about because they are being asked to leave shops they have occupied illegally in the first place.

They barked impotently yet Lagos has levelled parts of the area and the entire shanties right next to Ibara. Completely bruv.

They demolished all the illegal structure in what is an appreciable area that was dominated by dirty slums and pure filth.

As usual, Igbos made noise but I informed them a consortium has legally acquired the area. I was rushing to a meeting that day, Saturday gone, otherwise I would have taken pictures and shown empty chest-beaters here.

The reformation of Lagos has nothing to do with Igbos. Yorubas are not petty like that. Unlike some folks.

It is purely about developing modern cities now and maximising socio-economic growth potentials without letting 'one Nigeria' lunacy impede us anymore.

Folks can mark my word here. Lagos will no longer be "no man's land". Lessons have been learnt and reversal of impunity and illegality will dominate Sanwo-Olu's final term.

edungene7:
The house boy of a governor have taken directives from is master at burdillion as usual same way he got directives to shoot at End SARS victims at Lekki toll gate u are meant to issue a warning for closure before taking such actions besides this guys pay lawma dues Hw come Lawma is not evacuating the trash this would only give guys more room to come out for the campaign and vote out the useless party

Una wahala just too much ... Aswear

Rochasstatue:
This has been a festering problem within the markets.
Some people commenting here doesn't even know where these markets are.
Peter Obi should buy land, fence it and relocate these animals inside there.
You cannot drive from Fatai Atere junction to Toyota busstop because when you get to 'ogbo ewu', you are stuck all day.
There is nothing bad about shutting down the markets to clean them up.
The traders know themselves that they are worse than pigs.

Lolzzz
