Now it's time u move to ur State nd develop it

Our advice dough

qtx:

U fink so? we will soon see how the case goes.

Corn247:


Who mentioned fulani? Must we be same with anyone?

eddynaira125:
Make the money from Lagos and develop your origin

It's stupid the way we allow these politicians divide us based on tribe.

Does the Government own the Land your father inherited from his Fathers?

By the time the Oba of Igbesa turns up on behalf of his People to reclaim their Land the Military Seized
just know Festac and Satellite Town are going down

IbeOkehie:


Yes, the government owns all the land in my village. That's the LAW of Nigeria. Nobody has owned land in Nigeria since the UK colonized the country. That's fact. The Colonial Government wasn't asking permission from anyone to take any land for any purpose. The Nigerian people basically continued with that Law at independence.

The law is immoral, it's uneconomic, but it's the law. I've seen the law acted on even in my hometown and seen the effects.

Do you not know ANYONE whose lands or house has been seized by government? Not a single person?

Even if you argue about land only, there's one law you can't dispute - once any commercial mineral is discovered on any land, it becomes property of the Federal Government, not even State government.

Lack of property rights is a major reason for economic underdevelopment in Nigeria. For example, it's the major reason why mortgages are so few and far between in Nigeria and the ones granted by banks are very short term, because they KNOW the Government can take the land at any time and that land is the bank's collateral.

It's curious how this subject is rarely discussed. Secure property rights by themselves can make a vast improvement in the Nigerian economy.

JOemmy:



You bigots don't even know if majority of the 300 houses are owned by yorubas.

PureMe01:


Seun and mynd44 will never see this

Helinues is an unrepentant bigot but he will meet his Waterloo


They will learn the bitter way by taking their properties by force?
Is that how lazy you are to work your fortunes for yourself?

Christistruth03:



Lagos will teach you Land Law

Even Gov Sanwo Olu couldn’t save the Magido residents from the Land owners

Take note of that buddy.

IbeOkehie:


Tribalism, racism, familism, clanism are all natural human instincts that can NEVER be extinguished. Everyone knows the simple solutions that can turn that instinct into a powerful force for good, but most people, including ordinary people, PREFER to exploit it.

Developers will learn bitter lessons very soon.
Lagos is not a no man's Land.

Namigotalktru:
A court decision from 1975? The developers are not serious why didn’t they resolve before now. Anyway na negotiations.

Just others should be aware that Lagos o is not no man’s land. The only place you get leg in Nigeria is where you can find your grandfathers grave

IbeOkehie:


OK, not my battle, it has zero effects on my life or that of my family. Note that in my comments I've always emphasized the practical effects of whatever law. That's actually what counts. I've only now started to understand what you're getting at, which is the rights of indigenous peoples.

You're trying to replace government tyranny with a Native Village version. Honestly that's fine. The more important thing is SECURITY OF PROPERTY RIGHTS under whichever version of the law you want. This is the very definition of instability and a lack of socio-political consensus. Your approach does nothing for property rights either and thus contributes to economic stagnation. Which is why I will never again invest money in buying property in Nigeria until there's more effective guarantees.

I don't care either way. All I care about is making sure that when people pay money for property, that they get to keep what they bought and only sell voluntarily. Anything less means the economy will continue to underperform.

Good Luck to you all.

If some People didn’t insist that Lagos was no man’s land there would have been no need for this to prove that Lagos is not a No man’s land but is Yorubaland

The Oba has not committed any Crimes by reclaiming his Seized Ancestral lands

It was because of Strong Patriotism that you hadn’t heard from the Obas before now

At least you have taught them a big lesson

nedekid:

But oga, in this case, the oba is not discriminating against anybody. As far as you own property in the zone the oba identified, you are affected, be you Hausa, calabar, Yoruba, igbo etc. So how does the usual no man's land rant come into the issue at hand?
Infact the likelihood of a non indigene holding on to his propery and even acquiring more from those seized from the indigene by the oba is greater because cash is might, and obviously, the oba needs money.

Buksaylor:



Because majority of the owners are Igbos...?

Christistruth03:


Nobody is using Drugs or Fraud money to buy land any longer in Lagos because the ones that did

Will soon have their C of O’s revoked

Lagos is working with NDLEA, Malaysia, South Africa and Interpol to make it happens smoothly


Those whose properties were bought with Clean money have nothing to fear

Earthquakes:


The only person we know that have drug case is Tinubu "proof are there", the most crazy fraud case commited is hushpuppi "doing his time and helped in stopping UAE from giving Nigeria visa", guess his real name and where he is from
But guess what, let's assume what you said is true and C of O gets revoked, who do you think will buy the land back double the price when your uncle want to go to owambe in osogbo to spray pasuma or obesere?
Same people

Earthquakes:


Pain and agony is dealing with you
Who do you think will buy it back when your uncle wants to go to owambe even if it's true?
And in your demented minds only Igbos alone will own all the lands in the whole area, if you believe it then you should start respecting Igbos then because it is easy, your tribe cannot do it even in that whole Lagos to own a whole area
