Migrants should leave abi,Have u seen Lagos during the yuletide season...Lagos itself will shoot down

Is it same Lagos that you can't get a single short let and literally all the hotel rooms are occupied at over 90% last several years or another Lagos.

Same Lagos of dirty December or another one

Expect to see Peter obi in the forefront of protesters, pricing and chopping groundnut with garden egg 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Kobicove:
Na wetin concern Lagos State Government with trade fair complex?

The complex is the property of the federal government

The trade fair complex was built for the trade fair and for the past 30 years it has operated as a market with stalls operated permanently by shop keepers, since by law markets are under the authority of LG it is only logical using the doctrine of decentralisation and federalism that the FG must transfer it.

This is not unique to Lagos it's must be done nationally. FG must stop encroaching on the rights of states and LGs

If a federal structure or facility is located in a State and the FG wants to relinquish its control or give it out, the State has the right of first refusal because the structure is situated on State land.
The traders association should look for a very good lawyer that would represent them well whenever they want to enter any new Agreement and also obtain a court injunction to prevent the State from ejecting them or increasing fees and levies until an Agreement is reached.

Hedonisco:
Exactly. But since they are now in control of the presidency, Lagos State government has effectively become the same as the Federal Government now, hence what we are witnessing.

Is there any market in any part of Nigeria that is under Federal govt control?

The market will be handed to both Lagos state and the host LG.

So much hate on this thread, you tribal-warriors stinkk, and some of you are even educated, what a shame. Let every Nigerian abroad also return to their home country, see how smart you guys sound?

kingsavage:
Nice one by the LASG ....

Time for migrants to go home..

You are too dull to understand that if the govt imposes more taxes and levies the traders will pass it on to the consumers, making the price of things very expensive for the common man. With the increase in fuel price, and now increases on taxes in spare parts that means you go trek wella go work

a thread for wailing wailers to come and cry their eyes out…..ndi Lagos is no man’s land are only active on social media but when you need them on ground to show their might, they are no where to be found we keep telling them, we have the knife and the yam, and we will keep cutting them to size whenever they fall out of line….eko oni baje oo btw proudlylagos

Power is transient and process reversal is a possibility!!

Stolen:
Desolation awaits the zoo



That is the only way forward




Else their can never be any progress




Rather than the lazy building more market they are dragging existing one and disrupting it




Wat does it take to build more?

Good riddance of bad criminals

leave the muumu to continue deceiving himself…..tell them to leave so Lagos can be a shadow of itself like they wish and come and hear them cry of hate and tribalism, very confused set of subhumans

OMBIIGA:

Most of them are too short sighted and power drunk to realize this fact.

Xscape1993:
What is happening in Nigeria at the moment please? Why making life hard for people? The levies, taxes and fees are too much for the business owners please.

Are markets in the SE free of levies and taxes ?
Why the wailing ?

DomPerignon:
Them don state another aimless and futile Nzogbu Nzogbu.

If FG hands the property to Lagos and the host Local Government, who are these tenants to be making noise?

The complex must be sanitized and anyone who doesn't like it should go to Onitsha main market

And who are in the helms of affairs trying to hand over a federal project to state and for what reason?

Covetously handing over what is not yours to your kin is a crime

This government is a government of injustice

If with all the money you people boast to v in Lagos state and u can't build a project like that for yourselves then shame on you


Tinubu should hands off


Criminals


Same way you people burnt down yaba market and took it over


Going after people s sweat



Lagos is a Benin stool

Aworis are there


The real owners of Lagos are not covetous


You come from your ,ogun ,ekiti ,ondo ,ondo to claim Lagos

Ole buruku dem

the Nigerian abroad are not dragging the land with the citizens of the country and know their boundaries and don’t trespass and insulting their host or claiming to develop their land or claim to be the ones feeding their host, that’s the difference between them and some of our migrants blodas from failed and deprived region of the country

Yes. They have overstayed already.

BeginsAtHome:
Igbophobia is real.

There's a Nakxi kinda purge on Igbo business interest in the South West, most especially Lagos.

May God help them.

They are protecting their heritage from ungrateful leaches just as your hero, Donald Trump is doing for America against migrant ingrates

Lagos state donated the land and I am sure the complex was built using majority funding from Lagos and Niger Delta oil.

Your people have no say in this property until that m0r0n GEJ decided to hand it on a platter of gold for next to nothing to you Ibos.

Now the FG giveth and the FG taketh.

Go and show me which market in all the federation that is being managed by FG?

As I said if you are not comfortable with the new owners, you can pack your kaya back to Onithsa head bridge

esnbrutality:
Taxation and extortion specialists.

They want to takeover the market , so they sent their appointee. Na dem way..awon sophisticated losers.

Envious and coveteous people

Your painment and sorrow is unprecedented but this is just the beginning.

Ndigbo don't just invest in commerce.

Your children born in diaspora should take politics of wherever they live serious and provide leadership in powerful countries.

Your economic power is now under constant attack by those who envy and hate you. Take my advise and rise about them by a thousand levels.

Enough said.

Parachoko:
Is the FG stopping any state from building more markets? I don't understand why you're complaining.

The FG wants to handover some unnecessary burden to the states and Local Government Areas, you're here still wailing

You mean Tinubu dashing Fg assets to Lagos State so that he can take it from Lagos State?

This nzogbu nzogbu people are biting more than they can chew on. They are forgetting on whose land they are misbehaving. OK!! I de laugh.

So how do you propose that they do that? You can't just take what does not belong to you. You can never rise beyond what you have.

It does not happen in a day or year. The Igbo nation should be more futuristic and long-sighted than any other nationality, considering what they have suffered.

In the 1940 and 1950s, the Jews in Europe as America were exactly where the Igbos are now in Nigeria. Marginalized in every facet of governance, politics and commerce.

How they rebuilt and rebounded is in the pages of history, open to all..

Follow their manual..
