Lagos have become a very toxic environment for the igbos because of dirty nigerian politics I really pity any igbo person that is still investing heavily in that hateful and tribalistic environment the leaders that are leading that unfortunate state are still very far from civilisation despite all their exposure.

ginggerxy:
The building has been there for 15 years so how is it possible that person from Obi's family will just build without legal documents , that family has been doing business in lagos for long now they are not some family that just get involved in illegality love or hate obi but you are sure he is from a very clean family. The drug cartels in power now are very brutal and they know Obi is not the type that fight dirty fight if not they cant hold onto power forever na.

no b person wey get power dey fight dirty?

Let him try nonsense now

E go know say twitter president dey different from Nigeria president

Why are you politicising everything to stunt developments everywhere?
Everywhere is being demolished in Ikeja and other places reason being; extension beyond setbacks and other reasons best known to them. Many high profile people are affected, even if Tinubu's properties or his associates contravene their law, they are pulling it down, not a personal thing.

stuffs2002:
Victim mentality mode activated.

Nzougbu nzougbu cannot help but claim victim. Lagos like every state in Nigeria demolishes all kinds of illegal buildings without proper documentation, failed integrity test and a host of other reasons. But Obi must use this case to create sympathy for himself.

There is demolition going on in all the states in the south east yet no Igbo person has tribalized those ones

This is why I keep shouting any living soul of SE must align with north for 2027.The igbo man must not be the president in 2027.The igbo can negotiate for economic benefits only for 2027.The most important is to break off lagos monopoly on sea and air.This is what is carrying igbos to lagos and does already thr finding it difficult to leave because we are majority business men.We can negotiate this things to SE,SS and Abuja
The SW has been the greatest enemy within to SE since the war.let stop pretending. The North is far better partner to igbos in everything c

SE and SS have 4 ports which is more than anywhere in Nigeria..

There's a port in Rivers state called "port Harcourt".
There are also:
Calabar port
Onne port
Warri port..

the only thing Lagos and the SW has over other regions is the spending power which means the buyers and consumers of most products in Nigeria is the SW..

A business person whose market is the SW will not import from the ports in the SE/SS regions then transport the goods to the SW to sell because that is waste of funds and will destroy the business before it starts..

you have never started or owned a business in your life so you don't understand how businesses work and make profits.

It's just your last statement that makes all your previous epistle meaningless... Cos, it's negates all the statement you've made.

Come to think of it..."no one is indispensable" why you people always act as if, the ibos exodus Lagos, Lagos would remain the same.

We should not argue about this fact.

For years, certain individuals have pushed the narrative that without their presence or contributions, Lagos would somehow collapse or stagnate. Yet, despite this rhetoric, Lagos continues to grow, innovate, and lead. It is a city that has stood the test of time—not because of any single group, but because of the collective strength, resilience, and diversity of its people.

The fact remains: no one is compelled to live in Lagos. The city is open to all, but it owes no special debt to any particular group. Choosing to reside in Lagos is a personal decision, not an imposition. If anyone feels unwelcome or uncomfortable, they are free to explore other parts of the country or even the world. That’s the beauty of a democratic society and free movement.

To suggest that Lagos would crash or cease to function without certain individuals or communities reveals not only a deep misunderstanding of economics but also a level of arrogance and entitlement. Cities like Lagos thrive because they are built on systems, institutions, and vision—not on the shoulders of any one person or group.

Lagos is greater than any rhetoric. It has been shaped by history, fueled by enterprise, and sustained by governance. It will remain a beacon of opportunity and development for those who are willing to work, contribute, and respect the values that make it what it is.

In the grand scheme of things, no one is indispensable. Lagos will always be Lagos.[/quote]

Because a building have been standing for 15years doesn’t make the occupant the rightful owner of the land

Amotolongbo:
Honestly, Obi would have made more sense devoid of pity and sympathy calling if he had told us, bringing out the documents (like CofO and Survey) establishing the fact that “his brother” truly owns the property occupied and demolished .

I see am say u and ur likes don truly get faults for life cos Ona way of reasoning is poor! Na Ona b court wey dem Dey present evidence to Ona. Poor fellows

Those pipo supporting evil I just Dey imagine say na dem e happen to. What would be their response? Make useless foes Dey try think twice before commenting trash!!!

Does it mean those who came to destroy too should not have the required documents to enforce their order, let stop supporting wrong behaviours. We not helping anybody by doing that cos when the table turns, the same treatment, abuse of human rights too would be display which is not right either.
This is a common thing by those in power and are part of a godfatherism circle to abuse the power they have to extort and even, covert other people's property because of the access to power or political alignment.

Don't forget that Lagos was a previous capital of Nigeria, being the first of everything good in Nigeria, technology, life, etc as a capital of a country.

Fast forward to today. You cannot say, let Lagos be made for a particular tribe and let other leave. When it was the whole countries resources that was ploughed into making Lagos what it is today. Whosoever, that are the leaders today should take cognizance of this fact.

That's why there is still that saying , "Lagos is a no mans land". But now indigenous are pushing against that statement, forgetting that they allowed other peoples money to develop their land.


Let us be sincere to ourselves, the tribe that is keeping lagos afloat are not the indigenes but the largely other tribes, and let us all know that those tribes are not the foreigners, or the oyibos.

helinues:
My only one question is , is it only Peter Obi's brother building/property that was singlehandedly demolished in that area?

Modified: Wondering why some people are trying to shut my question down.

Peter Obi has been governor in Nigeria before, would any governor demolish buildings without serving them notification? Did he also demolish buildings in Anambra state without prior notification?

Attaching unnecessary emotions to issue won't make one to have balanced view about the issue

In as much nothing concerns me with politicians and their shenanigans cus I believe all of them are the same. But disagree with your first statement. If I am in power and wants to punish my perceived enemy. I will make sure I add others to the punishment so it will not look like a vendetta. Who knows I might even go back and settled those I punished with him

Politics aside let us ve human. Anybody who takes Political affairs to an inhumane level does not deserve the power they wish to get from Politics.

You have said it all....no one is indispensable.... So no group or tribe should be directly or indirectly be repeatedly be giving the idea or mindset to live Lagos.

Let them stop blacklisting a particular tribe in Lagos.

anyone who isn't supporting your nzogbu nzogbu is paid


Don't worry na 10k per year dem Dey pay us

Was it not you that said fuel will be 550 this weeek??

Where is the 550 fuel?

Obi! Obi!! Obi!!!
Import and export.
Always playing the victim.

If that property which looks like a squatters abode really belongs to your proxy brother,then take your certificate of occupancy to the court and sue!
The press is not a court of competent jurisdiction.
Go to court and sue the state government if your documents are complete instead of pouring ashes on your head and lamenting for sympathy.

Carry your property documents go court if you believe you have a case


Entire Markets are still going to be demolished
for being in the wrong location

I'm trying to figure out what might actually be wrong with people like you, extreme tribalism, indoctrination, wickedness, foolishness, ignorance, religious bigotry,, lack of education, lack of exposure, bad home training, lack of vision or pure irrationality? I can't understand why a person, I'm sure you are not a Nigerian or Yoruba, because your comments here negate Omōlúwàbí.

Yawns!!!!!

Same old victim mentality format which don cast.

Omoluabi protect their homeland passionately from haters and all their scheming

Entire Markets are going to be demolished in Lagos for being in the wrong Location

Tribalism is your own.problem
Lagos and SW indigenes have rights too
and LASG no go look your face

Lagos will only continue to be good to those who respect their hosts and you are not among them.
Omoluabi move with discretion and Wisdom

Lagos was never No Man's Land ,and you will
find out who owns Lagos and SW.

Alaba,Ladipo and Computer Village are all
in Locations outside the LASG masterplan and LASG must correct it.

Please Carry your Tribalistic hate campaign and History revisions so as to balkanise and annex other people's Homelands to the other side of the River Niger where God Almighty in his infinite Wisdom deliberately placed you .

Everyone is ready for you and
You will migrate elsewhere peacefully by yourself.
We will do very big Owambe farewell party for you so we part on good terms

if you and your tribe could keep your own states of origin afloat then you will not be in Lagos..

How can a tribe that can not keep its own state afloat now keep Lagos afloat??

Y_o_rubas made lagos what it is today and they keep it afloat without help from the FG..

stop saying rubbish..

Let us be sincere
Lagos Island was the Capital not Lagos State

It isn't 1% of Land mass of Lagos State
Also remember that Lagos was already the Busiest International port in West Africa and commercial Capital of Yorubaland long before the British arrived in 1851

Lagos was not born in 1914
It had been already trading with
Europe for over 400 years

Any Ibo man who votes for APC in the next general election MUST require a DNA Test. APC government has been targeting Ibos in most of the demolitions we have seen in the last 2 years. I am Yoruba but the truth has to be told. We need to flush out these perennial robbers for good!

And stop acting like Lagos will collapse if you leave—nothing will happen. Nobody invited you in the first place. No one is being targeted. Demolitions happen across the country, which affects all people, including in your own region, and we don’t hear you crying about being targeted there. But the moment it affects you in other regions, you start shouting ethnic victimisation. It seems you cling to a victim mentality just to score cheap political points and paint others in a bad light.

Tflex01:
For one Igbo building demolished in SW, thousands of people from other tribes including Yorubas have been demolished but you guys just like to play victim with everything. Including your fake tribal messiah.

it is never ur fault sha....u don't have a clear feeling of what it means to have ur millions drain down in a second....I don't blame u guys at all.....I just blame nature for joining us all 2geda

omenka:
Him don go stand inside rubble take photo post. This was why Benue rejected his him visiting, he's well known to use people's tragedy as political props.

Look at him. What a disgusting thing. I'm surprised he didn't lie down to take the picture so people can fully grasp how deep his sorrow runs over the demolition.

The pain in this write up will continue to hunt you..🤣🤣🤣🤣.


If you support a politically motivated demolition, May you not have any structure standing in your name from now till your end.
