Rather Blame the owners of the demolished 🏠 🏠 🏠 🏠. I believe some of them cut corners/bribes those young men that carry Red/black spray paint to do wuru wuru.

BATified2023:
is Lagos now part of south west?

only when it’s suite their narrative, bunch of confused clowns 😂😂

amaridigital:
The internal motive is very simple. It's their land. Nobody will be complaining if Enugu or Benue Governors are doing theirs. You want to do whatever you like, go back to your land and I'm sure you won't be able to do as you want . Let Lagos breathe.

go back to your state, go back to your land. Can you guys also say go back to your country? Im sincerely sick and tired of this fake one Nigeria we are deceiving ourselves with.

One minute it's one Nigeria, the next minute it's go back to your state. I only blame those who after this provocation still invests massively in a place they are not welcomed.

Hedonisco:
I foresaw this kind of mess and that's why I strongly objected to any possibility of this Tinubu monster assuming power.

Before now, we know that having 'federal connection' was a sufficient counterforce to the madness of these terrorists that have hijacked Alausa.

Unfortunately now, Alausa is effectively the same thing as Federal Government. Very tragic. They have the full control to demonstrate and exhibit their tribalistic madness.

But time settles everything, and power must change hands in due time... And retribution is a must, however long it takes.

NwOSU is Lagos no more no man’s land? Why didn’t you all come out to challenge them when they came with the bulldozers? Na only for SM Una get power😂😂

Streetinvestor2:
U see that one called zenco.His place needs more of that development he is taking to lagos. Look a seplet in imo state today. It should be the biggest gas company in nigeria. Whr is innoson company and many in Anambra today.

Innoson wise to the bone
Nobody with sense needs to put with this nonsense.
This one will definitely clear their eyes

owobokiri:
How about breaking up Nigeria so you can have the right to issue visas to those who can visit you and reject the visa applications of those you don't like!?
That is much better i guess...
Why do you want "One Nigeria" but insist on pontificating as it regards where, when and how other people live or thrive?

U got it.let have different countries and deny anyone u don't want coming into ur country. Not when u say one nigeria. Then u create monopoly of sea port,airport to ur region to force other regions to come to ur state for business because they have limited choice. U have made other ports not fully functional because of ur policies and lack of funding/upgrading.
U used bureaucratic bottle necks to make sure some ports don't ever come alive like the case of Akwaibom deep sea port

ajalawole:
Oga money change hand. Do those people that build get approved paper. In ilorin a federal senator want to build a pavilion at the emir of ilorin palace, state government move in and stop work because they don't get approved paper. If those people in Lagos have papers they should drage the governor to court.

You think someone will spend millions of naira if not hundreds of millions with different notice from the same state government without getting any approval?

i laugh hard reading this.Get notice from where? To get banner for building approval take approximate 2/3 months if u were lucky,1 month.Let those owners of the building pro ide that first.Some of this people cut corners/settled those boys that carry black/Red spray and assured them PEACE OF MIND until the Right /same pipu show face and give u STOP WORK PERMIT . Once u enter any Gov agencies/office, you'll see them.They can even produce C/O sharp sharp

Brendaniel:
I have said this thing before, there is no construction, renovation whether from foundation or roof level in Lagos state that the government does not know about, if you think I am lying, just go to any part of Lagos and observe any building that starts construction if that building will not get a notice on it in less than a week from the government.

So for the same government to come and declare so many buildings that have been existing for years or buildings that got notice from them with some form of approval afterwards to be illegal is laughable at the same time annoying.

let over half of Igbo businesses relocate out of lagos today.The state becomes like one of thr regular SW state that I have been to all.
Tell me any igbo billionaire leaving in any SW state besides lagos today. It is just the monopoly of things that is keeping them thr.
The state that is not ment for humans to live with the over crowded places and smells

Why not learn to be humble, respectful and less provocative to your hosts?

Nobody is breaking anything now or later; you either shape up or ship out.

the northern leaders over the years created the mess we are experiencing today. They ensured all major FG investments coming to the southern Nigeria are domiciled in Lagos just to incapacitate the Igbos. Today Lagos and Yorubas are reaping the benefit.

gabbytabby:
All lands in the state are owned by the state government and it is only the state government that can grant approvals and CofO.

When the federal government left Lagos, a lot of lands allocated to the Federal Government in Lagos where either commandeered by officers illegally if they find out it was allocated to their ministry or sold by Omonile.

Always do a search of the land and that way you measure the risk you are taking and decide what kind of structure to put up.

The fact they are saying FG means they don’t have legitimate approval on the land.

Hmmmmmmmmm

This coming after they set mandilas on fire confirms that there's a strategic plan to emasculate the Igbo economy in Lagos.

You either didn't read this article we'll or you missed some information on it.

When I saw the demolition, I thought the same way. I was wondering why Lagos State Government allowed the approval and development of the buildings in the first place but the hidden truth lies in this article.

Obviously, the developers of those properties dealt and got the land acquisition and building permits through the Lagos International Trade Fair Complex Management Board (LITFCMB). They developers also felt the LITFCMB is an agency of a Federal Ministry, hence Federal Government.

Lagos State government must have communicated the disapproval to the developers but they must have insisted on continuing the projects even when Lagos state government is against it but they were relying on the authority of the LITFCMB.

What they chose to ignore is that the land and properties in Lagos are under the control and powers of Lagos State Government. LITFCMB is subject to the Lagos State government and the Authority of Lagos State government is superior to the authority of LITFCMB.

Besides, why didn't the igbo developers invest these funds in developing properties and land in the South East? Why the constant focus on investment in Lagos, yet when they encounter challenges, they want to blame the government of Lagos State.

I read the article, so what exactly is the fault of the owners for the demolition?

And the same government is not interested in arresting and prosecuting those spoiling the name of the government, the are only after those who own the properties. Is the government not interested in having a good name?

Kingpele:
This is what I was saying state government doesn't have right to enter FG territory but now some state government is seizing up FG lands and FG is doing nothing about it...today I thank that I later change my mind from relocation to lagos in 2009 ...my guy that was preaching to me to come to lagos is now lamenting....such is life

Where is the federal government territory in question?

Is Lagos State Trade Fair Complex a federal government territory?

Please don't go to Lagos, the state is congested already. Go and develop your state or other states.

Abeg!

DIVINEEVIDENCE:
These guys should go and develop South East nau.
No be person build independent power plant for Aba?

Ndi Yoruba don't even realise the sort of situation they're creating with their collective igbophobia.

Give them 20 to thirty years, Lagos would be retired as the economic hub of the nation.


See South East thriving today from scratch and it'll be hard to reconcile the fact that this was a battlefield a few decades ago.

Despite marginalisation, useless leaders and absence of FG representation, they have emerged a force to reckon with in business, education, international investments etc.

Let myopic Yorubas force them back to the SE just to win elections.

In 30 years time, we'll be hearing about federal interventions to address imbalance in geopolitical economic development like we have today in education as evidenced by Educationally disadvantaged states and the federal character principle that enthrones regional representation over merit and qualifications.

This battle is over before it even started.
Only myopic fools will prosecute it.

Yes, please ohhhh.

Go and develop the South East! Igbo resources are needed there!

Streetinvestor2:
It is good for igbos.They need to learn the hard way if they don't stop the madness of investing in SW.They should bring more down

I thought igbos own Lagos state.....

One Nigeria 🇳🇬 is a fraud. A failed state.

Did you not know South Africans and yorubas are the same?
Xenophobia, tribalísm
Go to your country, go to your region
Oyinbos are their Masters, one man is their master
Envy, jealousy runs deep in both
Bitterness and pain causes psychological turmoil in both
On top of all that, inferiority complex becomes the driving force behind their underdevelopment.

The question is why did the Lagos state government leave them to build for years and stop any construction from going on?

Why wait till people have built before coming to destroy?

lakefist:
Obey rules and regulations of the State.

The problem of flooding is still due to these unregulated buildings.

Unregulated buildings? No Igbo can build in Lagos without authorisation from LASG.

Only proceeds from crude oil and gas in the southeast and southsouth hold SW and North with the Igbo in one country

Unfortunately, cash from crude oyel and gas is no more enough to run Nigeria.

It's going to a Trillion Naira of Igbo landed property and businesses destroyed in Lagos since Tinubu government of vendetta started.

Barrywilly:
They should create another trade fair complex for them at Upper Iweka. This is Lagos.

Lagos not part of Nigeria,and citizens are not free to trade there? Who says you are not free to trade at Upper Eweka, Onitsha ,if you have the means??

The problem with many of you is lack of exposure and tribalism.

Unfortunately, many of you are not original Lagos protegy. The real indigenes don't talk this way.

How could you be happy seeing one's investment destroyed in a jiffy because of political differences

Haba!

Illegality overtime will never be legal. Having said that place was never sold to them. Neither did they buy the land nor get approval from the appropriate quarters. Few weeks ago a young Ibo guy did a video about the activities going on there stating that this is not an estate but warehouses. See what Ibo's are doing in Lagos. I knew from that very moment the authority will act in a decisive manner.

Federal government Agent can't dash out Lagos State land to a particular group or section of the country. It was Lagos State that accommodated spare part dealers that were previously on Lagos Island there when they decided to leave. Most of these things are usually facilitated by Ibo's. The relocation from Computer was mooted by Ibo's. Ibo leaders will want to take control of Ibo dominated market through relocation. They will look for the land and approach the State Government. After the government buy in. They will mobilise funds for building and the rest. But what they will fail to do is outright buy out as you cannot buy out a Market it is a government property. You can only get an allocation which will be subjects to the Governments decisions, policy and future ambition.
