I said it, that Ola was not the owner of that property.

How can someone who wears a boxer from Monday to Sunday own such a place?

"a section of the premises was leased to Ola of Lagos for his car hire services and for the display of luxury cars used in content creation."

I swear o thot in my mind, how on earth could Ola of Lagos afford to build that place at such expensive area and own such a luxury car business. HOW? from content creation? If we had said this, they'll say its jealous or call U small mind. Truth is out.

And for Ola to not come out and say the place is not his is bad. He knew the information about him owning the place was wrong but refused to clarify

First Lagos will permit and approve building in unsafe places, collect all manners of levies etc. Later they turn around and demolish same property on the excuse that it is on unsafe area? How long did the property exist and operate their?
Best thing is to do the right thing from the start.

This demolition, Trade Fair demolition, Landmark beach resort and others I can't remember is yet another proof that our government is very quick to destroy wealth it cannot build.

Business owners would take loans, get approvals, build their livelihoods—only for bulldozers to erase years of sweat in minutes.

Same leaders who cannot provide stable electricity, working refineries, safe roads, or functioning schools suddenly discover efficiency when it comes to demolishing people’s investments.

This is not governance. This is vandalism with government backing.

A nation cannot prosper by punishing enterprises. You can’t grow an economy by frustrating those who try to build it.

If the government invested half the energy it puts into demolition into infrastructure and jobs, Nigeria would be unrecognizable today.

The truth? They are quick to destroy what ordinary Nigerians build because they have built nothing themselves.

i worked in downstream oil and gas for 15 years as an engineer. a significant part of my experience is construction concerns

there are multiple laws and regulations in place that speak to construction. set backs you must not encroach on, structures your facility must have a minimum clearance from. as long as you are working with professionals - these facts will be made available to you at some point before you start construction.

what people do is they rush or bypass the process

you can be smart enough to break rules, but not wise enough to know why the rules have been made

people say things like they don't want petrol station or gs plant near their estate - because these are dangerous. but in actual sense, a gas plant built with respect for standards is safe. from design you put distances, or fire walls, etc. but a 'smart' person engaging in cost cutting ignores the safety distances and bribes people. a short term solution for a long term investment

why would anyone build a permanent structure below a 330kv line?

all that talk of we have all our approvals - this is what happens with most developers. you have the approval drawing - and the construction drawing. the construction drawing will usually deviate to save space etc.

LASG expanded Lagos badagry expressway from a four lane road to a a ten lane road with a metro line. everyone on either side of the road lost up to 10 metres of space. but today - i can follow that express and be in surulere in 30 minutes if i leave my house right now. the same applies to the lekki expressway that all those car dealerships are bordering. once upon a time, that road was also a four lane road. go down to ajah and everyone did partial driveway with paving stones instead of concrete because they knew govt would expand the road. and the road has now been expanded

lasg has already informed residents along lekki ajah expressway that they plan to expand the road for a proposed metro line. i know this because i am working ion design for a project in that axis. a metro line will ease traffic and reduce transport costs. so is building a metro line also wickedness?

oil companies, banks, eateries, etc all loose space and have to relocate when there is road expansion. when lagos badagry road was being expanded , total, oando, mobil all lost significant portions of their sites and had to rebuild. total lost a station outright.

You gave approval in 2024 and you are demolishing in 2025.

Look at the document well. Its an approval issued for registering with the ministry of transport as an auto dealer and not for location of the property.

I always knew that he leased the place. But even at that he is also a stakeholder that was negatively impacted by the demolition.

If a tenant's apartment gets burnt, the tenant will tell others our house got burnt, while the landlord will also say my house got burnt.

Both are valid claims.

Re: Demolished Lekki Expressway Property Belongs To Skyewise Group Not Ola Of Lagos by delpee(f): 11:09am On Oct 14, 2025

People are permitted to do business (with conditions attached) on regulated government spaces like under high tension wires as some have claimed in this case. Permanent structures are never allowed under high tension wires and occupants are so informed. Bricklayers, petty traders and mechanics who have no permanent structures do better there.

I remember that houses built under high tension wires in Egbeda/Idimu area were demolished some years ago for the same reason.

Oga stop using emotion to reason. Do all state government agencies have the same mandate?

Lagos State Ministry of transport issued a certificate of approval as a registered auto dealer at a confirmed address/location. They already verified that the business is located at the address stated on the certificate.

Does this mean they are the ones saddled with verifying whether the confirmed location has the necessary building approvals? That's obviously beyond their mandate as this would fall under that of LABSSCA which is the authorized agency.

What Skyewise should have shared is the building approval from LABSSCA. Then we can talk about the lack of integrity from the LASG.

Yes.

They had to put Ola of Lagos' name in a publicized demolition to justify their atrocious demolitions in other parts of Lagos. The truth is gradually creeping out. At the end, people will realize that none of the cars belonged to OOL. He was only a nominal partner riding high on social media presence and influence.

You’re the one being too mechanical with reasoning here. Governmeny agencies don’t operate in isolation their actions are all interconnected.

If the Ministry of Transport officially approved a business at a specific address, that approval indirectly validates the premises as suitable for the intended commercial activity. Otherwise, what’s the essence of an approval tied to a confirmed location?

That's the rascality that the Lagos State government is now known with where different state government agencies can decide to operate outside the laws of Nigeria.

Some said it is 26m. I no know what to believe. This was how another Twitter celeb bought a Benz, and she was defended and praised across social media platforms, including well-renowned feminazis. Only for the said celeb to attribute her money to dating yahoo yahoo boys.

Generally, I am unfazed by the money trappings of entertainers or people whose source of income is tied to social media.

I am glad the tax law will take effect from next year.
