THERE IS NO WAY TO SPIN INSANITY.

DESTROYING RESOURCES PEOPLE SUFFER TO ARRANGE WEN U DEPEND ON TAX YOURSELF, IS CLEAR EVIDENCE U ARE NOT A LEADER.


NOT TO MENTION LEADER OF NIGERIA.


NO LEADERS DESTROYS BUSINESS WHERE U HAVE BEEN COLLECTING TAX.

CRIMINAL, CRIMINA, CRIMINAL THEY SAY....




YET WEN DEY ARE DOING LEGIT BUSINESS, YOU CARRY BULLDOZER TO DESTROY IT.





U WANT FOREIGN INVESTORS BUT THE LOCAL ONE, U DESTROY.

Nnamdipapa:
Where was Obi when Soludo did a similar demolishing in Anambra state?

Obi did something similar in Anambra in 2012.

njokuuche77:
I think the main issue here isn’t really the buildings themselves, but the paperwork behind them. If approvals had been obtained from the Lagos State Government as required by law, the demolitions wouldn’t have happened.

That said, government also has a responsibility to act earlier. Too often, enforcement comes after people have invested millions, which makes it feel unfair and harsh. Stronger monitoring and timely intervention could prevent these painful situations.

At the end of the day, we need a system where rules are respected and enforcement is proactive, not reactive. That way, both the law and people’s livelihoods are protected.

People should stop cutting corners always do the right thing to avoid stories that touch.

Exousiang01:
You don't need to reply we all know the truth.
That was how he came running to Lagos the other time when his brother claimed his building was demolished, we later got to know it wasn't even the his building but a building he was trying to achieve from the rightful owner.

He runs to Lagos each time and runs his mouth to please his minions who he know do not have the brain to think for themselves.

Despite this clarification and the facts available his headless minions will still come out to praise him and talk from their anus,

Cry harder!

Igbos now love themselves!!

franudi:
So the best thing to do will be to demolish the buildings? If the buildings are yours will you demolish them? This is share wickedness. The government is preaching unity but by their actions they are seriously dividing the country? You are talking about rule of law but even you know that you are not obeying the law. Deep down your mind you know that demolish is not the best option?

nwokem, there is no emotions in law, if you must break the law, then be ready for the consequences and if you feel you know the law better than the government, and also if you have your approved papers, take the govt to court and prove your case. I’m a lagosian and my family property on the island was once in dispute with the state govt and we took them to court and won. You can advise your brothers to do the same if they have a case and stop the steering up sentiment and emotions because the law doesn’t give a hoot about your emotions

Justnation:
That demolition is a wicked act fueled by tribal bigotry and hatred

but the one that happened in anambala was not fuelled by tribal bigotry and hatred? Gone are those days when your victimisation propaganda to blackmail the govt hold sway, we are wiser now. Anyone not happy with the way we chose to govern our state can by all mean relocate his/her investment back home, Lagos will not be turned into a slum just because we want to please some entitled people

jaxxy:
I agree with u to an extent but I don't agree Obi is a bigot. Many of these igbos call Peter to intervene and he has to atleast show concern and assistance.

If the hausa community calls him he will also come to their aid.

Peter Obi has gone round Nigeria helping people facing difficulties and challenges not just the south east. Very few politicians have done this.

Don't you think he could have showed support without telling lies about the real situation?
Why saying the buildings had approval when they didn't.
Of they had approval why didn't the owners go to court when they got the demolition notice.
They claimed they got approval from the trade fair management, does Obi as a leader who wants to lead Nigeria not know that building approved comes from the state government?
When he was governor of Anambra state was it market management that granted approvals for building constructions even in market places?
Let's call a spade a spade and not a big spoon

Olabest911:
Obi will will just keep wasting youths efforts if he continues like this! Ajeh

He should employ someone to advise him on things like this before he comment or take any step if he's too emotional or lazy to think.

For God's sake.. you are contesting to be no one person of the country now Anambra governor .

* it's's compulsory you visit or be the first to comment on things like this
* Don't be too quick to condemn, you can sympathize with victims and promise to investigate and get back to them
* Don't rely on information from victims... find out what really happened.
* Criticize and speak like a national leader not as a state governor you used to be
These people already know your weakness and using it against you.

Remember you need at least 25 percent of 2/3 states to become president.

he is not a wise man and he can’t hide and pretend about his bigotry for too long….like the Yorubas says, Efin ni Iwa’ meaning your character is like smoke, it can’t hide for too long…..he is just giving the non ibos expecially the Yorubas that fell for his propaganda in the last election expecially in lagos more reason not to vote for him….a man that is campaigning to be president of Nigeria, showing his loyalty to his tribemen than to the rest of the country. Though we have always known him to be a bigot only the few gullible ones fell for his charade

WizardOfNG:
Guy, why are you people horrendously prejudiced beyond redemption? The article, you clearly did not read as a prejudiced person who has already decided who the guilty Party is, made it clear this is not a case of Lagos "went straight and demolished all of it" as you claim.

This constant and belligerent face-off against the Yorubas you are always seeking from time immemorial, stemming from how you guys have never stopped seeking proxy wins against Yorubas because of your civil war loss you blame us for, will never end well for you.

We need nothing from you but you need us and our SW goods and services markets, with the wealthiest purchasing power in Nigeria , for everything to include the sustenance of your families back in the SE.

Lie and gaslight all you want. The situation, because you people can never be reasonable and moderate, will only degenerate into a cold war of protectionism of Yorubas against Igbos and vice versa in our respective regions.

Who wins that battle? I am sure even a smart 8 year old, privy to relevent info and facts, can answer that question in a second.

Keep allowing your self-serving and divisive elements (like Obi, Kanu, Abaribe etal) lead you up the garden path. We will see how things pan out.

Chief this isn’t an English contest. Tribalism is beneath me and by proxy Youre beneath me.

This isn’t a case of Igbo owns this or that, if you check properly, there are other tribes affected there too if not equally. This is a case of gov’t looking out for its masses. If you’re smart enough you would have thought of this instead of going into full blown defense of the Yoruba tribe.!


Son, be it in Enugu, delta, edo kano or any part of this country where anyone or group of people choose to be legit, the government owes it to them to support in any meaningful way. Can the approval still be gotten in this case? Yes? The said structure In a GRA? No? Why destroy million of billions of investment of hard working people just because of some crap Why pushing your citizens to the wall?

Son, humanity first before tribe and religion. You can drown yourself in your self absorbed hatred for the igbos if you like, one thing is clear here, this could have been handled differently. Forget the crap about beating up their staffs et all, Thats just bullshit. But you came back in with a bulldozer? Stop it son!

A semi-illiterate person does not understand that any citizen of Nigeria is entitled to settle, vote and be voted for, in any location in Nigeria where the citizen is settled.
Make una kwontinue with destroying Lagos economy.

I LIVER DEY RELEASE KANU, DEN WE WILL KNOW SAY NA PERSON DEY TALK, UNTIL THEN, NOBODY IS SPEAKING.

Yen yen yen.
Story story.
Who owns the trade Fair?
Lagos or fed govt?
Tribalísts should continue.
Karma is looking for them.

Richtaiwo:
Alaba Rago, a market dominated by Northerners, was demolished few weeks ago, no one has been heard crying foul.

Over 2000 shops were demolished in Anambra few months ago, no one raised an eyebrow.

Some things are just damn irritating.

Where did Anambra state demolish 2000 shops mumu man! Anambra stste demolished buildings built on the right of way of atate and fg roads! The buildings at the trade fair ostensibly had federal misitry of works approval! Its left to lagos and Fg to reconcile their powers of supervision! My worry about the plazas is that some look structurally defective but to willfuly damage and destroy the hardwork of innocent businessmen is borderline satanic!

if tribalism is beneath you then you will not speak in favor of your tribe..

if you're smart enough you will know that Lagos is 22% - 25% water.. the remaining 75% is land and the Yorubas will do everything to own and control majority of that land..

having humanity is what allowed the invasion of Nigeria by nomadic terrorists...

so no more humanity for anyone..

I don't like how Governor Sanwo Olu is allowing the Obi man constutue himself into a nuisance in Lagos.. any news, he'll rush to Lagos and be whipping up ethnic sentiments but when worse incidents happen in his home State Anambra, you won't see or hear pim from the hypocrite.

Governor Sanwo Olu please wake up.. take a cue from your counterpart in Edo State that issued serious warning to Obi to stay off his State. Our people are tired of this nuisance behavior everytime.

The aggrieved shop owners in Trade fair should head to court, so the Judiciary xan interprete the law to them. Lagos is not a lawless State any nuisance can erect just anything in.

DomPerignon:
As governor of Anambra , your Girigori revoked an allocation of land granted to the FG to build a federal institution.

Go and verify this .

What are you say? A simple read through of the statement of Lagos State government will explain to you that all buildings with the exception of military institutions, wholy owned FG buildings are required to have building permits from the Lagos State government.

hatchy:
Yes, he goes where he has a strong political base to protect their interest. It is the same way Tinubu runs to Kaduna and Kano for birthdays and marriages because he wants to strenghten his support base.
This is politics, so stop crying.

peter Obi is coming!

Surely you don’t believe this garbage.

Dude relax, youre going to give yourself a heart attack.. Yorubas can own 75% but with your mindset youd be under this said land if you don’t purge yourself of this hate that has consumed you this much.

Youre too emotional for politics, i advice you stay off the news until you get help.

The lagos state government should remove tribalism from governance. What lagos state government did is wickedness in the highest order. This is defined harshness of the lagos state government.

There are ways to compel the people to adhere to the law without being This heartless. The government of lagos state should have taken them to court without taking the laws into their hands because they believe impunity works in Nigeria. We are talking of property related to businesses here. The growth of these businesses contribute to the overall growth of the economy of lagos in particular and Nigeria in general.

If there was a competent court order pointing out that their buildings would be destroyed if they don't comply, believe me that they would have mostly complied.

The government should be seen as a father as such you don't beat some of children as if you don't want them to survive the beating if truly you are a father. Compassion should always be shown no matter the bribe involved.

WizardOfNG:
The bolded, below, is the Koko of the matter and I think every Nigerian know those who are emotional and full of histrionics.

The anarchic State of affairs in their region today is testimony to how they are not interested in societies governed by law every member of society is duty-bound to respect and abide by.

you deliberately destroyed people's livelihood and expect them to not be emotional, what kind of devil begats you guys

Moroccoguy:
People should stop cutting corners always do the right thing to avoid stories that touch.

oga read the story well no one cut any corner look at the magnitude of those building so you think the owners can afford to curt cornners, call a spade a spade tribalism and repercursion of the last election at play here

Obi is a failure even in Ayambra he isn’t noticed
Lagos is not una state
U can cry and wailed till tomorrow
Ye all should go back to your state
Na so one nonsense guy talking no sense to me at Arena.
I told him this is Lagos
He quickly shot up
God bless sanwo olu
And God bless tinubu
God bless Nigeria

Tell me how Mbah, Soludo. Or Otti would have handled it differently.

Playing victim has becomes you guys trade when you are caught in the corner.

Show me your post that speaks in this manner when Otti and Soludo demolished. But the moment it's about Lagos that when you remember humanity.

How about you ignoring the facts of the story where government officials were beating and the gate closes against them and the further intrusion of Obi who came to Lagos and took sides by blaming the state government without proper knowledge about what transpired.

That's victimisation is no longer working, try something else

the only people showing hatred is the people that went to visit the tradefair complex...

you are the ones that are too emotional for politics and you are the ones that should stay off the news because you are the ones that are having problems in different countries all over the world..
