I have plenty pictures of Igbo properties demolished since after presidential elections last year to date as evidence.Show me Yoruba or other tribes properties demolished the way Igbo properties is been destroyed.
By your logic is it correct that the building demolished in the Southeast is also because Igbos hate Igbos?

Way to go!

All churches and mosques should be demolished in Nigeria, and replaced with factories and mechanized farms. There is no heaven or hell and, rapture has been postponed—time to build our heaven in Nigeria.
What is your government doing. What stopped them from building factories and mechanize farm? Or are we richer than the government?

One-sided tales is dangerous. Let's not be sensational and reactionary, but wait for the government to ossue an official statement.

At the same time, let's hope it is not a continuamce of demolition of igbo properties.


This is a developing situation and we can only hope that's not the case indeed.

the factories that were in Nigeria before why do they closed down and many relocated to another country and why are most Nigeria government owned company not working, eg Textile, Ajaokuta steel, etc you just be talking off sense, or is land not available to do whatever you want anywhere in Nigeria, that you are rejoicing on destruction of another man investment

Compensation was actually paid and was about 120million but the pastor was asking for 900million. A staff of the church actually signed for the compensation and this gave the LASG the right to demolish.
Can 120M build poperties ? That government compensates doesnt mean it musnt meet current price value

The way you sometimes sound heh. So for your mind, Lagos state will demolish any property without any prior notification.

Una go school now, act like one
Keep quiet there.
We have agberos as our politicians.
There is nothing they cannot do.
They do not obey court orders from the head to toe.
They have the judiciary in their pockets. For that they can do anything anyhow and wait for you in the court.

Do you want to pretend you don't know about this?

If you actually believe that churches and mosques are the reasons Nigeria has retrogressed since Independence, then something is seriously wrong with your reasoning.

Last I checked, Religious houses have never been directly nor indirectly in charge of any sector of this nation as seen in top developed Religious nations.

How many times have churches and mosques leaders been consulted to help steer the nation in the right leadership directions?!!

Apart from the places being occupied by Religious houses, the othe parts unoccupied by Religious centers, why are there no industries there?!!

Buhari spent trillions claiming to do infrastructures and projects, why have these not impacted the nation positively?!! Let me guess, churches blocked them from going into full operations.
Leave him.
People just open their mouths waaa and be saying rubbish.
Their politicians and representatives who are the ones to be held accountable are not the cause of Nigeria's retrogression...it is Churches that attracts foreign exchange through religious events that are the problem.

Charity begins at home, the one he built at PH is still standing, he should have moved to other states in the East. Why do Igbos like dying in Lagos? Someone from Anambra must have given him this bad advice, Lagos people don't want your charity, learn from others before you.
Dr Jesus is not wanted in Lagos.

Fake Hope.

Religion gives hope without work. People would rather pray than work, they believe they are rich in Christ more than Dangote.
People believe the world is coming to an end soon so why work and plan for tomorrow.
They tell you not to mix with the world and the only people getting richer are the pastors and GOs
I preached the Bible most of my life, was in the church Monday to Sunday. We pray a lot and the country is in more mess.

The GOs are in Cahoot with the politicians.
Religion is the biggest fear inducing bandage we have in Africa.

There is no divine favour anywhere, we have ro plan and work together, we have to stop spending hours asking help from the sky. You do not have to take my word for it at this rate, the country will be hell in the next five years.

The hope of religion is similar to the hope of someone who is high on hard drugs.
The bible i know talks so much about the need for work ; even God himself worked. When God created man, he gave man work in tending the garden. The bible talks so much about the need to work in several scripture.
You cannot aswell rule out the place of divine favour; as you are never in control of all factors responsible for success.

It's in the news. Lagos wanted to use the area for the expansion of I think brt corridor and park. It's at the main road of cele express beside conoil, it was valued by both his lawyers and the Lagos government and conclusions were made. He was compensated with over 110, million naira or let's say 100million plus, money paid to them, documents signed and agreement was reached.

Lagos government gave them ultimatum to remove their properties pending the pulling down of the structure.
Now I think, to the best knowledge of the pastor and his legal team, they thought they are being cheated and the place should be valued billion naira, so prior to the demolition, like 2 days for the demolition to go, they refunded the money to the Lagos state government and said it is not acceptable by them, now I think Lagos state denied ever receiving the money and claimed they have reached a concrete agreement and that the pastor is no longer incharge. Even I watched one of the guys working for the pastor gave exact accounts of what happened similar to this. Then now, I don't know may be it will be termed blackmailing, claiming government demolished his orphanage and his free school property and his church without due process, that this is a building he has and duly paid for. So, who is lying now? What if they refused to acknowledge the money he refunded and refused to accept after all payments and negotiations concluded. His lawyer didn't do well. Hope he won't loose everything.
Now the op is being sentimental in his reports, cutting all other evidence out including one of his members that was interviewed, acknowledging receiving over 100million naira but the money was later refunded after all documents signed.
Thanks for for update because I see it as strange that a building would be demolished without prior notice.

Do you know that place? Hope it is not the church located in the swampy / slum area hiding between the illegal buses garage and that filling station and the canal bridge? It seems there is one other church there except the second church has been taken over by the Omega Church. Is that the Church Omega said worth =N=1 billion. The IBOS are something else.

Majority of people living at Okota are IBOS. Firstly, when the Bridge (Flyover) from Okota (Cele end) to Lawanson side across Apapa Oshodi Expressway was built, many houses were destroyed. The only building (2 storey ) left now whose occupants are mainly Church presently was abandoned that time with everybody already parked out awaiting demolition.

Power Pentecostal Church was before the Canal bridge. After that bridge going to Cele on the left side where NURTW created illegal buses garage and few Bukas ( local restaurant), you have about two Churches in the Swampy / Slum area. Is that the Church or another one?

It is not by force for Nigeria to be one country. The South West cannot continue to tolerate nuisances from these people. Lagos State should go ahead with their projects.

If that place had been like that during Wike's tenure in Rivers State, it would have long been cleaned for development. Except, it is not that place I described above which I visited last year January after over a decade. They sell food, alcoholic drinks and smoke in that garage leading to the entrance.

I have no problem with destruction of People's properties by Lagos state government, but what I have problem is them destroying people's properties without any prior notice. You just wake up one morning and your house is leveled aground without any form of compensation. The same modus operandi the emperor of Obio Akpor is using in Abuja. If I say what is on my mind now , I am going to be labeled a tribalist, So let me just keep shut.

However ,if actually this is how the land were everyone is a PhD holder is operating primitively and sadistically, I am sorry for the land that no one has common first school leaving certificate.
How did you now know there was no prior notice. Government don't just wake up a day and start demolition. That is a big lie. He might have been served notice but because of stubbornness he will ignore and when government comes for him, then the victim mentality will begins. Let wait for government side of the story.

Lagos Govt provided documents for the settlement with the lawyer representing the church. Now, the church says the lawyer was not supposed to represent the church. Someone is lying, and the lawyer should be debarred. I also feel the church may be pulling a stunt so people won't know they had reached a settlement to close the school and push the kids out. It is hard to know what to believe, but the demolition continued because Lagos Govt had and presented all the documents.

Check the YouTube channel and Channels TV reporting.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6ZJX2SEkMc
The Lagos State Government (or any other state) has the absolute right under the law to acquire any land for developmental purposes and for public interest. In this case, a new BRT bus corridor is to be built in that location and its only part of the church that got demolished. Besides, the property the so-called church owns looks "weather-beaten" from the scenes shown on Channels TV. So, the compensation of 120 million that Lagos State paid to that church is adequate and it was highly irresponsible for the church to have returned the money to Lagos State.

That church owner CLEARLY acknowledged in the Channels TV video that monetary compensation was paid by Lagos State BUT he wanted more money (and that's the reason for the blackmail and hysteria).
