High rising buildings loading. Its long overdue. It will beautify the lagos lagoon the more, with its picturesque view from the 3rd mainland bridge

poverty makes them to live there

Kingrshd3:
Same with people in iyanaworo 😭
I am a victim
The demolition is everywhere 😭

A time is coming where y Lagos island or Lagos capital will be filled with only elite in some years to come 😞

Try to be among the elites, not among the poor with 6-12 children you can't take care of.

They added the filt around the water

Pls expatriate more.
If they are not citizens and are foreigners as you affirm, which country did they come from? Benin, Cameroon, Niger, Chad or Ghana?

LegendHero:
Who told you they are citizens?

If I were the governor, I would demolish every single building in Makoko.

However, I would compensate them, even though the land they occupy was never theirs. That’s simply to alleviate immediate suffering.

Most of them are foreigners who settled there, and they have no legal right to the land or the water.

Trump will change the place to Paradise for American Tourists vacation. If you do not know the value of what you have Chagori abi weytin be ime name self will turn it into Eko Atlantic.

Legendhero, ai de warn you. Mind yourself o!

You can’t blame them. Some of them are born there and used to that kind of life.

Those people normally give APC block votes during elections. They are stuanch APC supporters. Infact that’s the reason the Lagos state government have soft peddled on Makoko demolition for years!

Sorry for their loss, it's a pity they need not protest.

Protest by illegal occupants....

In as much as I feel pity for them, but I can't use emotions to judge this matter. Even people with documentation are going through same challenge. If government develop that place, its going to be a very beautiful. That's not befitting.

More criminals and bandits has just been let loose.

Poverty

The reality of some people is totally different from yours.

A heartless and insensitive Lagos state govt. Fashola started this madness and demolished sone of their buildings at Makoko and Ilubirin . I guess it is time now for Sanwo-Olu to complete the madness, all the name of development and building befitting buildings for the rich to occupy while the poor can go to hell

When are we ever going to get it right in this country. All these elitist style of Government is what gives rise to terrorism. You can't just demolish people's homes without any form of rehabilitation. Are they go in Ng to sleep on those canoes now? Including all those children, what kind of life is this?
This Lagos State Government and their Federal Master will perish in the end.

So sorry

Ope Makoko

Makoko is weird, to say the least!

It's an eyesore to the ambience of the Third Mainland Bridge and poses a serious health hazard to human life.

It requires a very drastic government action to effect demolition and evacuation of the squatters.

It's a very difficult decision to make but it has to be taken willy-nilly.

However, both the federal and state governments should sensitize the people on the need for them to evacuate the floating slum and ensure some form of compensation so as to put a human face to the exercise.




@hotseat

Where are they from please?
