The Lagos State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, has shared a photo showing houses blocking the pathway of a canal in the state.

The commissioner shared the photo amid the controversy generated by the demolition of illegal structures, especially those encroaching on waterways in the state.

So serious

Madness

Whoever bought those lands and built those houses should be killed!

Damn! How can people be so foolish!

If those houses are destroyed now, the "they hate us" people will say they are being targeted. But when the whole area is flooded as a result of no passage for water, they are always quick to mock Lagos on social media, saying, "see the Lagos Tinubu built."

Their latest tactics is to say that no building goes up without government approval, therefore the demolitions are illegal. Okay, provide the approval letter you got before you built on a canal like a ship, they go mute.

One word for those houses... Otilor

Zilka:
The people who approved the he plan the first place have a question to answer

How are we sure it was ever approved?


Lagosians been building without approval since 1960.

The owner of the house need to be jailed

So you will take your hard earned money and act like the person who built that house because it was "approved" for you right? Nigerians sef! U blind? Is it the person that "approved" it that is going to live there with the inherent risk of flooding?

In any case I will tell you for free, nobody approved anything and the only question to answer is when is this building going down?

How can you use millions to stay in such a place iyama

This people should be persecuted. Causing public threat to life. Flooding kills human beings and that is what these constructors are causing.

Why is he showing us?.. carry bulldozer there and bulldoze everything.

It's about to go down now

Fóolish illiterate commissioner

Tokumbo wahab dey recite legal maxim him wan show himself.
We sight you learned colleague.

When una demolish the house abeg clean that place well let it look nice.
Also enlighten the public on where they can build and not build, finally simplify and unify the process of acquiring land and all its accompanying paperwork

Where were they when this foundation was layed?

This is a major canal not gutter, does it mean anybody can wake up and block a canal for several months yet the govt is unaware, it shows the corruption and inefficiency in the government itself??

Zilka:
The people who approved the he plan the first place have a question to answer

Who told you anyone approved a plan?

And this home owner no even think of the neighbors

This is crazy

If not for stupidity, even if government approved it, how will person gather money and buy dis kind land or even build house on dis kind area. I would have love if government can jail d owner sef.

PHIPEX:

This is like asking where was Cameroon when Nigerians moved into Bakassi

It is irrelevant
When they are ready they kick them.out

To me , seriously I cant blame them I swear ... I really feel for them , and more also, it's not gov fault as well but gov supoose do the needful bfor this time ... this is too painful ... some pple might not come up again in life

Even people will buy land with foundation Omo onile will ask do you have money to raise it sharply and people will buy .. Nigerians always thinking they are smart ... Evil people... See this ones now build on top canal... Se people no dey use their brain ni... E fit be say the land cheap them rush am

PHIPEX:

Next thing you will ask where was the owner when the thief came inside the house

That type of question and reasoning is for criminal minds

Gajagojo:
Who told you anyone approved a plan?

So you believe someone in this kind of neighbourhood will build from start to finish without govt approval?

Zilka:
The people who approved the he plan the first place have a question to answer

Which plan? These people don't have approved plans. If they do, let them sue the govt in court.

PHIPEX:
So you believe someone in this kind of neighbourhood will build from start to finish without govt approval?

Since they started we never see anyone showed approval paper ... On the spot openly them still wan bribe the man

PHIPEX:
So you believe someone in this kind of neighbourhood will build from start to finish without govt approval?

Let them go to court and bring their approved plans.
These people are mostly people who believe that with money they can get away with anything in Nigeria. Well, they will learn their lessons.
If they have approved plans, the state givr will.pay the.. I'm sure these ones don't.

What's pushing him to do all these explanation?

Pls bulldoze that house down. I'm very sure the house must belong to my people from SE they are the one who don't listen to instruction and have no respect for anything.

Pull that structure down its barbaric and unacceptable blocking a Canal.
