Brendaniel:
Why didn't the state government just seal the buildings and ask all owners to go and get approvals from the state before opening the buildings?

so the best solution is to start destroying people's sweat? look at what you people are trying to defend, is the government designed to guide the people or to fight them?

Doesn't this look like vendetta?

I mean they said the people did not get approvals, why not seal the buildings and tell the people to get approvals, you people just like defending evil...

Abdul05:
Senator Umeh should know that federal jurisdiction only appears to active federal facilities...like military bases or federal government offices..

Not on private traders running shops on formal federal sites..

See..lagos is not fighting anyone..it is simply enforcing order...if you benefit from lagos, you must also respect its rule..

SonOfDSoil01:
now that you know their intentions, would it not wise wise for you and your blodas to take your investment back to your region and develop the place? Were you all forced to come and develop Lagos? We are tired of this salty tears already

AustineE1:
No no no the intention is to cunningly steal other people's sweat,the last time I checked,it is still one Nigeria,according to you people!so how dear you tell a Nigerian where to live or not.Or are we suspending the constitution?
Is this not the definition of a people being insecured and rather trying to destroy others,dont think Nigerians are dumb,everyone is watching the dance of shame and it will certainly come with a repercussion. We all know what the aim and target is all about,we are keeping records and yet nobody was giving free land in Lagos,while they were using their money for owambe,others saved through manifold struggle and relentless efforts but they want it back through the back door.Things dont work this way,it will certainly attract grave consequences.
Is this not a big shame and dent to a people!

Brendaniel:
So because some people beat up the agents there then the best solution is demolition? what happened to arrest and prosecution?

Brendaniel:
No one is arguing on whether they have the rights of approval here, the issue is the demolition, is the government designed to guide or fight the people?

Doesn't this look like revenge?

A building is not something people build in a day, it is not a car people park and you can just tow away and return, so destroying it was the best solution?

A whole state government that should be encouraging decorum and good behavior is behaving like agbero.

so you are are telling me that destroying people's sweat is the best solution a whole state government could offer when they could use police to seal off the place and ask everyone to go get their approvals from them?

Brendaniel:
So are you saying sealing the buildings wasn't an option?

Wallade:
When your property in any state or FCT contravenes the law, it risks demolition.

Don't blame Lagos State government or any government for implementing the law by demolishing unapproved buildings.

Wallade:
No, sealing the building was not an option. The court ordered demolition.

Simple!

Brendaniel:
The buildings destroyed in Anambra and Abia were for road construction, that's a different issue, is Lagos building any road in trade fair?

Wallade:
To destroy those buildings in Anambra and Abia, was court order not secured by the state government?

Once the court orders the demolition, then it becomes legitimate.

Brendaniel:
I have already responded to this claim, the situations are different

Brendaniel:
Which court?

Which order?

can you please show proof to that?

Brendaniel:
Where in the law did they state demolition is the only way to execute the law of building contavention?

Wallade:
Ask Lagos State government to show you proof.

Better still challenge the demolition of those properties in court, this will compel Lagos state government to show you the proof in court.

Simple!

Mynd44:
The government gave them time to apply, some complied, others refused.

Heck they even beat up staff of the state government who went to dialogue with them last year.

What else should government do? Keep allowing illegality?

Wallade:
Ask the court that ordered the demolition.

Wallade:
The situation isn't different. When a state feels certain properties contravenes the law or wishes to destroy property in the interest of public facilities, amenities or infrastructure.

The state must get a court order, by justifying the demolition to the court, to do so. Once the court order to demolish the structures are issued, the demolition becomes legal.

post=137040195:
Those affected should heavily sue the state government. According to the Land Use Act, the state government has no jurisdiction over lands allocated by the federal government.

Mynd44:
Senator Umeh is right but also very wrong.

When it comes to federal government estates, and land sold by the FG the FG takes jurisdiction but only on land being developed by the FG.
Example: if the FG is building an army building inside a barracks, it is entirely on the exclusive list and the state has no say but the moment the FG sells the land to a non government party, such person(s) must get approvals from the state to build even after getting FG approvals.

This was the hubris of the builders who assumed that they had no business with the state even when the state asked that they come and apply for permits and get approval

Ttalk:
It is SanwoOlu I blame for all these nonsense that is being thrown at Lagos. Lagosian must chose someone who will protect the interest of the state in the next election

Brendaniel:
What is Lagos state destroying these buildings for?
