As a foreign or local investor,you go through the right process to purchase a landed property and start development and some months or years later,it's being destroyed because someone from the ministry claims the building is on the right of way!
My question is why were these investors not told from the beginning by the same ministry about the nature of the land?
How do you expect the same investors to invest in that state?

I can see my guy LZAA peeping from behind and wailing about Yorubas!!

DatNiggaDaz:


What are you yapping about.? There is no atom of reason in your gaslighting. What are you even addressing ?

The person you quoted made his point clear: that if the builders obtained the necessaty approvals and observed the rules and regulations, and the LASG still went ahead to demolish what they initially approved, then that is a grave injustice

You write things that have no meaning because you are still standing on Tinubu's mandate

What do you mean by Jungle ? Did the post you are referring mention Lagos as a Jungle ?

Did the post you are alluding to call the Lagos government shady ? What is with 1826 ?, dishonest who ?

This is how the hatred and jealousy against our neigbours from the East breeds and against my people from the ND who you folks always call out to look like our neigbours.

Continue masking the jealousy, wickedness and tribalism in the name of 1826, shady and dishonest

Karma is always real

Nah. You are the one not making any sense, in what position does the other guy stand for him to be making unnecessary assertion on behalf of the owner of the building being demolished by the government,

Is he trying to justify that he knows better than the professionals doing their work?

If he is do certain that the government are illegally demolishing an acclaimed illegal structures he could have well go and fight the government on behalf of the owner rather than displaying crass and ignorance on social media that is another form of high level of nuisances

WizardOfNG:
Well-said Sir. Same point I made initially yet he was hyperventilating per how the guilty run around when no one is chasing them.

Did we not go through this recently when one of their kinsman, a lawyer, insisted Tokunbo Wahab was acting illegally demolishing properties in Lekki that had valid document with the insinuation, as is same for all of them, that Wahab was targeting Igbo properties on purpose.

Wahab challenged same guy to present valid documents since he insisted they existed. The chap said he would. Deadline Wahab gave elapsed and no one heard from the chap again.

That is how they roll. Quick to malign and demonize the character of others out of paranoia and bitterness. Lagos has no power to act dictatorially because valid documents will defeat any illegal action of Lagos in Court so why will the state engage in such?

Yet they alone, of the many ethnic group in Lagos, will claim their property worth "billions" is being demolished illegally.

Did their political God not even do same recently in Ikeja claiming the country was sliding into lawlessness over a matter with a valid judgement in a competent Nigerian court? Tiring bro

I think sanwolu is just following tinibu's instructions of not allowing the opposition which he obviously sees as igbos to have any home or base to operate from in their states.

Things are falling apart in Nigeria. It's really getting out of hand.

Yes illegal structures are falling apart in Nigeria.

cyberbro:
My major concern here is: did the owners and engineers in charge of the buildings obtain approval from the Lagos state government or not? If they obtained the right approval and didn't violate and building code, then this is pure injustice and they have a right to sue the government.

But if they didn't get the necessary approval and continued building up to this level, then I am not sorry for the owners.

The most reasonable comment on this post others are just crying tribalism up and down.

I've replied you but so called "bot ban" took it out yet your emotional tirade above was allowed to remain. Read the screenshot. You people are now protected species here courtesy of some partisan moderating.

Anyway, make all the noise you want. Sane people understand the central point and know those always crying wolf unfairly and deceitfully against LASG and Tokunboh Wahab etal. Even your political messiah too is guilty as charged.

30k loading..... Hustle more chief, you might get a bonus for September..... Abi u never hit target for this month.... Pls the bot should stop banning him, his family depends heavily on that 30k..... Pity his innocent children

Xxxxtentacion2:
the question is why spend millions to build a house when you know it will be demolished.
Then secondly what constitutes illegal structure ? Person suffer build house you call am illegal structure. Don't just defend any government move you might be a victim of the injustice you support. Is it proper for government to just demolish random houses and call them illegal structure

Look at what an adult is saying. "Person suffer build house you call am illegal structures" Who care if you suffer to build it? If it is illegal it is illegal and if it is legal go to court.

If you are rational, you will know that someone who's going to invest billions in a property in lagos will not have a problem getting government approval. Except the LASG is now a wayo govt scamming Nigerians with fake approvals.

Mr man do you read to comprehend at all? I bet you don't if not you wouldn't reply with this comment. Mr Rational!

Getting approved in Lagos can be exhausting and cash intensive. They need to streamline the process and make the process transparent. I have a family member who has been trying to get approval for over 4 years.

WizardOfNG:
Why do some of you talk like this? Is Lagos a jungle for the bolded in your post to be the norm?

In this day and age, it is easy to establish building approval validity. We are not in 1826 bro. Many Nigerians are casually and wantonly dishonest.

They are shady and love cutting corners. That's the real issue. Period.

Authorities continued the demolition of several plazas at the Trade Fair Market in Lagos State this afternoon.

The operation, which has drawn the attention of traders and residents, is part of a broader enforcement drive targeting structures said to violate planning regulations.

Yeah bring it all down

Nigerians are not yet ready to be serious, they still think this is all a game

Tell em

You have to do a search to determine all the encumbrances attaching to the land, not subject to government acquisition and gazetted for residential and/farm settlements (which almost always turns to residential) is what you are looking for

The ones I saw done in Alausa many moons ago was 10k per site.


But then don’t hold your breath cos one Governor gazetted and another revoked the gazette. The Government needs to do more to streamline the approval process and similar to what happened in Kano not have political differences taken out on the masses.

It is one thing to be hated, but it is a far greater tragedy to hate yourself. The wise Igbo are already channeling their strength and wealth into Aba, building a future on their own soil. Any Igbo still pouring their sweat into Lagos is in desperate need of awakening. Even the scriptures remind us: lay up your treasures where nothing can corrupt or consume them.

Let them keep demolishing their houses until they have sense. I don't know why my Igbo brothers have decided to be silly by building in another man's land

WizardOfNG:
Things are falling apart because illegal structures are being demolished? In which nation of the world will illegal structures not be demolished once it is established said structure had no valid building approval?

In the UK for example, you will be instructed to demolish an extension to your own house if you deviate from original building approval talk less of constructing a structure with fake building approval or even none at all which I know Nigerians are brazen enough to do.

Nigerians need to stop victim-pretence over every development. Especially when wrongdoers are quick to cite 'victimisation' over repercussions of their own irresponsible and lawless conduct.

When will all the buildings in obalende that are clearly not built according to building codes be brought down? Ur answer is a good as mine

LZAA:
Go and put container in your area without approval and see whether LASBCA hilux and security forces won't come there
😄😄😄
In all these i pity the tribalists engaging in this
Because the repercussions will be deep

What's the correlation between what I wrote and your comment now? Ar!nd!n 😒

So you believe someone will erect a property in Lagos without getting approval?

Ok o

OGA please don't associate the UK with your country's foolishness because I. the UK you cannot completely build a stricture of this magnitude without being stopped.by the authorities.

Igbos should learn to bring their investments back home where it's safe and won't be pulled down out of hate and envy.

My people don't want to learn, but surely they'll learn the very hard way.

you start by repatriating your family investments back to the east abi una no get any?

Right since this second tenure, all I have been seeing is demolition everywhere in Lagos.

My friend, work with reality. Corruption is a real and major problem for Nigeria which won't vanish overnight.

That said, whenever and wherever illegal structures are discovered, they should be demolished. That's the substantive point.

The example of the UK is contextual to show it is standard practice to demolish illegal structures everywhere.

omoredia:

Why are you asking me about that? Can't you write Tokunbo Wahab, Lagos State Commissioner of environment,or Commissioner for Physical Planning, Dr. Oluyinka Olumide, for a response like an educated and practical person?

Because I insist Lagos is within her right to demolish illegal properties, without facing allegations of "we are being targeted" by one specific group of people alone, makes me the Lagos State Commissioner of environment or physical planning?

Well-said and the crux of the matter. Do things the right way and follow legal provisions 100% and things will be fine.

lets be honest with ourselves, fact is that most Nigerians are lawless people who want to profit from lawlessness yet are quick to play victim when things go wrong.

In a nation with scammers everywhere, critically important for buyers or potential builders of residential or commercial properties to do due diligence. As the saying goes "caveat emptor". Buyers beware.

I can see that you deliberately avoided requesting that other Nigerians should come invest in Aba
This is why only the law of reciprocity can bring justice.
