This is very very unfortunate & nerve wrecking. However, Lagos will never be a "shadow of itself" because of this & other demolitions currently ongoing & probably not stopping anytime soon.

For every one person who gets angry over this demolition & decides to carry their investment out of Lagos, there are already 3-4 others waiting in line to bring in their own investments, so, no Sir: the indices (by all standards) don't point to a slump in Lagos' fortunes rather, it's stock will only continue to go higher by the day.

This Beautiful Mansion Has Been Marked For Demolition By The Lagos State Government.
They been given just 2 hours to pack their belongings. Is this not bad? I seriously feel sad seeing what this people in government houses are doing to people they never supported in anyway.

it's like na charge and bail lawyer you use. Correct lawyer will guide you on all the documents you need and where to get them and how to check the land for any encumbrance attached to it. If new government wants to use the land for something else, it will compensate the legitimate owners.

CoronaVirusPro:


You said it all!

Less than 1 million Naira could have been used for investigation and verification, which would have saved the day.

CoronaVirusPro:
How did someone build such a massive structure without doing due investigation and verification?

If verifications were done and owner has legitimate papers to back up case, then owner needs to sue the Lagos state government.

The Omo-onile that sold those lands would have absconded now.

CoronaVirusPro:


Everything to you lots is about tribalism!

Was it only houses of Igbo`s that were destroyed! Did they exempt some houses in their demolition path!

The victim mentality is getting out of hands!

Doesn't the government demolish houses in the East? Are they also anti-Igbo?

Instead of focusing on root cause of demolition, you here talking about tribalism!

ecolime:
So houses built on drainages and without approvals shouldn't be demolished because they are beautiful?

RecentHistory:
Igbos are actually very foolish.

Let me tell you something. In Lagos, you take a SS person to a land, he will call a Surveyor to come chart it. Then, he will go to Surveyor General to check again if the land is truly free. Thereafter, he will call lawyer to do Deed. All these before paying. An Igbo man will see this and call the SS person a coward.

An Igbo man will just pay cash. Even if you tell him the land is under government acquisition, he won't worry. He will tell you that shebi it is money they will collect.

This particular place, it is Omonile that scammed land buyers. They took government to court and lost. But they won't tell buyers.

bigiyaro:
Nigerians and doing things anyhow are like 5&6. You get money buy 500 million car, you no fit put 100k tracker for the car. Go buy another land and build another mansion, if you like, no use lawyer buy the land and no authenticate your property from the right source.

kaludestiny10:
How person go get money to build this kind of expensive structure but him no get sense to do due diligence on the land. Money without sense is equal to calamity.

MightySparrow:
When you use money and position to secure illegality, what you get at last is heart attack.



When the say something is against the law, don't do it. You will lose both position and influence one day but law lives .

What you think you are keeping for your children may be for them to inherit.



I have seen some people like that believing they can always bypass the law because of 'nigerian factor'

Nothing fit make me invest in real estate in lagos

Thats the narrative they're pushing but everyone knows this has everything to do with the elections of 2023!

IT DOESNT MATTER.


LAGOS IS A GLORIFIED SLUM.


LEKKI IS A SHIT HOLE.

EKO ATLANTIC WILL BE FLOODED AND SINK.


ONE MOVE BY IGBO PEOPLE WILL CUT LAGOS DOWN TO SIZE AND THAT THIRD ECONOMY CLAIM WILL EVAPORATE.


THE MINUTE NIGERIA ENDS, LAGOS DIES, ALL OIL COMPANIES HEADQUATERES THERE AS OF PRESENT WILL LEAVE.


IGBO CARGO HELD IN LAGOS PORT WILL RELOCATE TO RIVERS STATE AND OTHER SS WILL BUILD SEAPORT.


MANY PEOPLE WILL THEN RELOCATE TO THEIR LOCALITY AND VILLAGES AND DEVELOP THEM MORE.


WHAT IS LAGOS THEN?


FIRST TO DO E NO THEY PAIN BUT DONT FINISH DOING AND START BEGGING, WHEN IT WILL BE OUR TURN AND SOON IT WILL BE OUR TURN, VERY SOON, WE WILL HAVE THE LAST LAUGH.

ValarDoharis:
You're trying to cause division. Which tribe is SS?

What makes you think these lands were not acquired properly?

blackgold2018:
what if those verification was done?

What if it’s a vendetta against the property owner.

Nigerian Government can revoke or dely an agreement as they like

ValarDoharis:
What makes you think it wasn't done? Even houses on land with c of o are demolished

fastseo:


Like I said.. You haven't dealt in land issue before.... So calm down.
Is it the Nigerian government that has no regard for rule of law?
Like I said again, a land might be approved by one government and an opposition comes in and said no to it... Find one language tell the press that the other government gave the land to cronies and party members without following due process.

Or you want to tell me that the owner did not now verify before injecting over 150m in such place? This is Nigeria bro. Everything happens and no rule of law and government officials do partner and sell land to people and when u do all verification from the ministry and new set of people comes into power they throw those people out and start theirs

This is done against Igbos and it all stems from the elections. What goes around comes around. This is tribal wickedness!

CoronaVirusPro:


When houses were destroyed in other parts of Lagos, was it wickedness against Igbos too?

How about those in other states in Nigeria?

If I go by your logic, houses destroyed in Lagos state are ONLY for Igbo’s?

Okay! How about the ones Soludo did? His he also against the Igbo’s.

The scenario happens everywhere. Your lots don’t blame the victims, but accuse the authorities. Just imagine and think about it. How can someone mistakenly buy Federal government land?

ValarDoharis:
Is that area a flood plain? How do you think they're able to stay there?

You're giving justification for wickedness but know that this is just a minor setback for the great Igbo nationality

RecentHistory:


Do they acquire government committed land properly or what kind of stupidity are you displaying?

Which division? Have you seen any SS person complaining about demolition? It is those from the SE making useless noise.
Carry your cross, SS no send una to de break laws.
