Even the developers are yorubas. What's the colour of your problem. Any developer that doesn't follow the legal means would have any structure built on those land brought down.
Is it possible to build without the ministry of lands approving
Is it possible to build without the ministry of lands approving
Yes.
FHA said they even went to those location to stop them from building when they were at foundation level, but the crooks ignored them like they were above the law.
The whole essence of the thread is for them to show us the approvals they got. Heck, they can even take the approvals to court and sue the government. Simple as ABC.
Sue the government 😄....na ghost give them approval to build with millions and no government agency or official is aware
You obviously don't live in Lagos or Ogun state. Yes people build without approvals because they are not very bright.
An approval is NOT CofO aka certificate of occupancy. I can also guarantee you that they have NO 99 years certificate of occupancy for the affected lands.
FHA said they even went to those location to stop them from building when they were at foundation level, but the crooks ignored them like they were above the law.
Which survey plan. Survey plan that crooks pay crooked private surveyors to generate one for them. Guy, e be like say you don't live in the Lagos/Ogun axis.
In your village , can you point to one building that has one single govt approval document ?
Lagos state is right to allow the fools build on waterways and government land because if the government steps in during the construction phase and issue a stop work order, the idiots will drag Lagos state to court and still go on to complete the building and occupy it for years.
It's better Lagos state lets them build and complete it, do house warming and give them some months to think they have arrived before sending bulldozers to demolish their illegal structures.
That time they will be looking for accomodation and won't have time to file any useless case in court.
I support this move.
Let them demolish on completion .
No frivolous court injunctions , court adjournments and waste of public funds challenging a squatter who has developed illegal structure on govt land without any approval .
They not only stole government land but also acting against public interest and safety.
Next time they won't tell anyone to shine his or her eyes before they buy land in Lagos.
This kind of draconian actions doesn't befit a democracy....it's only synonymous to military dictatorship
Are the Igbos deserved to be given any genuine document when purchasing land in Lagos or anywhere in Nigeria?. The Igbos don't sell their land to non indigine but they are putting eyes in another person's properties, they deserve to be swindled expecially on the land. They should go and be developing their conserved land. I don't care if all their buildings are demolished, heaven will not fall.
Nigerians always do things anyhow, someone will buy a multi million naira land and still build multi million naira house, but to spend small money on due diligence, na lie. That's how elrufai demolished governors and senators houses that year.

It's the Nigerian way of thinking. Penny wise pound foolish.
I believe an investigation should be carried out. Those who sold the land should be arrested and prosecuted. The drainage/land doesn't belong to them in first place, so selling something that doesn't belong to you, is stealing.
FHA said they even went to those location to stop them from building when they were at foundation level, but the crooks ignored them like they were above the law.
FHA is at Abule Ado which is federal and it's a different scenario with that of island which is state and are even supposed to be more closer and responsive to the people

Responsive to people building on drainage. Same people will laugh at how Lagos is being flooded.
If I have money is better I buy apartment here in austria that wasting millions of naira in nigeria,state governors knew what they are doing by not issuing people with CFO ,even with cfo , they can still revoke it and still demolish your house,take your money to your state what ever happens you can endure it,all the same I blames igbo people for buying land anyhow ,all the places hausa people are living in lagos since 70s is still with old buildings, northerners will not take the risk of buying land at idi Araba or sari iganmu or alaba rago and developing it
Channels TV went there with the commissioner and residents admitted that they had no approval.
A person that lives in the area tweeted about how the people that built the estate were warned and about how the blocking of the canal caused flooding and they've been complaining to government.
Several property developers have also tweeted about about how they were offered sea view land (the canal is the sea), but they turned it down because it is obviously illegal.
Yet some people keep saying the government is at fault.
OK, where is your approval or C of O? They'll tell you story.
OK, where and what is the name of the government official that you claim is corrupt? Another story.
OK, take legal action. More stories
Their stories contain no evidence, just wild stories.
Burob: I have a similar case in a High Court with PWAN, community go sell my Late papa land to them 41. 909 Hectares, PWAN wan build mega Estate, yet the letters of administration & the certified true copy of the registered survey plan lodged @ Surveyor General’s office of 1981 dey with us.
Omoniles are specialists on this. They will sell an already sold land because you failed to develop it and will issue you family receipt while assuring you that there's no problem

Ibos can continue patronising scamming and dubious developers. They get what they pay for.

The pretense, or maybe ignorance, of a typical Nigerian is sometimes funny.
If you truly live in Nigeria and know how we roll, you won't be online blaming any government. I am sure most of us know the reality but many are feigning ignorance online. Government will tag 'X' on a property and construction will keep going on because the owner of the building already assured them he will settle the boys at government offices. We know how we roll and when the game is over, just admit it's over!
Lol. I am sure if I dig, I would find for Lekki or wherever in Lagos too.
Anyway, more demolition is on the way. I hope the owners are finding lawyers.
If this kind of situation occured in the UK or USA there would be massive cry against the government who are actually the custodians of the land and who are actually supposed to educate and sensitize the citizens
