It's not by force to live in Lagos. Just as it's not by force for me to live in New York or Toronto, when there is Atlanta or Houston.
Toronto and New York are different countries my friend. Nigerians are free to live anywhere within the same country and so, your analogy is lame.

The same message UK & USA have for immigrants is what Lagos is saying.

" You cant leave your shiithole home to disturb us. Go back to your homes and fix it."

The message is that people should stop building in Lagos but the deaf will never hear. Come to Port Harcourt, Owerri, Uyo and Asaba and earn an honest living devoid of everyday harassment. These cities have better standard of living than Lagos

In a sane country, this can not happen. Cleaning of house should start with the employees of whatever organization is in charge of issuing the permits. After that, an audit needs to be done, to see those that were approved outside of the master plan. Then the government can contact the builders affected and have them reapply or stick the the original master plan. Canceling the permit of every builder is like punishing all drivers because a few were driving dangerously.

This is why I have not invested a dime back home. All my investment properties are here, in the US, where I know stuff like this can not happen.

The builders need to get a lawyer and sue the lagos state government.

Lagos state government are the most extortionate of all state government in Nigeria. They are guilty of fraud and insensitive behaviour. The residents has ignore them all along.
There are 5 states in the East that aren't " extortionate". Go and stay there.

Unfortunately, they are shiity pit latrines that even the indigenes flee from. Only the poor and illiterate stay there.

Example- Peter Obi ran away after 8 years to live in the Lagos you just insulted. Obiano ran away to Texas.

Added advantage. You hide under beds every Mondays.

Go to any of the 5 states.

It is only you Igbos that will have one imaginary no existent foolish man that is contravening the law around your father's house. If you are asked to provide prove of your senseless foolish claim you will disappear into think air.


kcprince:
If this is true na wahala o. I think they should face only those that don’t invite them for stage certification.

One influential man who is building near my site has never invited these people to come and inspect his construction and funny enough it has never been sealed. They should find a way to make everybody follow the laid down procedure rather than looking at your political status.

Overall lagos is doing a good job in building supervision but there is room for improvement

Revalidation in this context will surely mean paying the same fees all over again rather than these officials actually doing their jobs and going into the field for impromptu regular inspections. Revenue generation beats saving lives once again cool
Policy somersault

The average Nigerian lacks planning and those in government arent immune to this tendency. Policy somersault is due to lack of planning and knee jerk reactions.

Secondly poor work ethic. The issue is that office failed to carry out random inspections of work sites.

Finally the black man is easily bought with bribes and special favours.

These 3 factors are a dangerous combination and makes it unwise to invest in Nigeria.

So who says he’s living in lagos?
Besides what he said is the gospel truth
Agberos are everywhere on d mainland extorting people, making transportation fairs higher than it supposed to be!! Is it how it’s done in ur so called Toronto, or Atlantahuh? You’re just showing how tribalistic you are by spewing that trash

Tribalism has finished this country, the real protest should be divide Nigeria

immortalcrown:
Does this revalidation mean that the builders will pay more money for another approval of the same projects? If yes, your aim is not to save lives but to scam builders. But if the revalidation is at no extra cost, you are doing well.

But wait oh! Are you saying that you were incompetent when you gave the initial approval? grin

Good! But, will you inspect completed buildings before issuing the certificate or will you just sit in your office and collect money to give out the certificate?
What you t means?
Google ethnic cleansing.
Re: Lagos Govt Revokes All Existing Building Permits by zumbigbo(m): 12:32am On Jul 28, 2024
Trust a Nigerian builder at your peril.

You better check cement, check sand, check block, count and monitor on site, every minute of every day - as the site foreman will steal, labourer go steal, gateman go steal.

End time mentalities

Always trying to attach Owerri everywhere. Owerri is a village, the only business that thrive in Owerri is okada, keke, brothel and commercial sex hawking. You can earn a decent wage living in Owerri. Most imo indigenes in igboland live in either Onitsha or Enugu. There’s nothing happening in Owerri, no reasonable investor goes to Owerri, even imo indigenes prefer to invest in Anambra than their state . Stop always deceiving yourself

Any investor should be scared of Lagos



Been having thoughts of building a race course in the state, but I don’t want to die of hypertension. I don’t want to wake up one morning and the government will tell me my investment is blocking a proposed road.
They will extort you at all development levels of the race course that you will spend twice the cost in building it. Go to Kano if you wana build a race course you can get cheap horses there, cheap labor to maintain the horses and course and you will be loved by the people there. Can you see they charged dangote $100m for a land that is not worth 50m naira?
