Ogbeni, Ladipo can never be shut! Do you know how much the government generates from that market?

The problem can be easily resolved since the warring factions are Igbos. This is why I said it does not concern Baba Oloja.

I will also advise the Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo in Lagos to look into the matter since it has to do with igbos.

Was actually told about this four days ago. It could be a rumour. But we cannot discard it cus it's not the first time such issue will come up. I think 2 years ago, Fashola talked about computer village. How the original plan for that area is residential. The fact that the roads on that axis are being constructed and also leads to other link roads. Well, I just feel before the government embark on such thing, they should create another place just like they did in tejuosho. But..........

Demdem:
The day Baba Oloja takes possession of Ladipo, PERMANENT peace will be restored to the market

A district can be changed from a trading to residential or from residential to trading or even to an industrial zone.

Would you call Awolowo road a residential zone right now? Forget what it used to be. You think the Ikeja local government is about to give themselves headache and loss of revenue because they want to change a residential zone which was changed to a trading zone back to residential because some online tribal bigots want to wave their joysticks?

That area has been converted into a trading zone and the best the government can do is instil the laws attached to trading zones

Kunle Afolayon produced an award winning block buster movie : October 1. The movie is still showing in the cinemas it hasnt been released in the markey, but Alas all the useless Heebo boys have pirated the movie at the Alaba market. It is now being sold in the traffic for peanut

Mynd44:

It can be shut if the problem continues.

The issue is not that of a babaloja (ignore the warriors). They should find a solution so as to resolve it. If this gets to a point where Alausa is called....it is holiday for everyone for a month

MzJackBaueress:
I guess there is Baba Oloja at Alaba International Market and Trade Fair that's why the markets have been peaceful.

Abeg carry that your baba oloja mentally comot for road joor!

Where Igbos are dominated in a market,we do not need any Baba Oloja.

Period!

even if Ladipo market has to be shut,it will not be for the problems lingering.

For now,the market remains in Mushin LG unless the government wants to move it to a more conducive environment.

ilugunboy:


The security forces are picking them up.......they've all disappeared as at yesterday from the roads.

Mynd44:

Most of these markets have a babaloja. But the traders also have representatives who meet the babaloja so he is hardly seen.

I have no doubt i my mind that the indisclipline constantly being seen in Ladipo is due to the lack of Baba Oloja. This anomaly must be speedily corrected.

They meet regular to discuss issues mostly cos the traders will need someone on the traditional council looking out for them and the Oba/Baale will want one of his own(who understands the culture) to be his mouth piece there.

Baba Oloja is useful afterall and not neccessarily about toll collection. u are undermining the powers of Baba olojas. That is a grave mistake

What Demdem is calling for is a Babaloja to enforce discipline which no one has time for.

Baba Oloja with his influence and being a local person can achieve this successfully.

ilugunboy:


Eventually Ladipo and computer village will have to leave their present sites...it's not hard to figure out. Once the LASG is ready to move them out...they will be moved out.

ilugunboy:


Who changes or alters a city master plan?

The truth is LASG would have moved those people out of that place a long time ago.....if not for the meaning some people will pin to it......but eventually it will go.

Demdem:


Land owners can chose to give u a baba oloja if they deemed fit, afterall u are on their land.[/b]

One thing I have noticed about Nigeria and lagos in particular is that we do not understand that there is town planning. Government owned land earmarked for schools and hospitals. Etc. Yet we complain of government not doing our roads etc when some people built houses untop of drainage and close to canals.... every area in lagos has a plan. Some even build houses and turn a street into a close. If omo onile is selling to you, why won't u go and make enquires from lagos state town planning. The moment government wake up to their responsibility, a lot of things will go and it will affect people. As for Ladipo, they might not necessarily move them, they can find a large expanse of land in ilupeju or turn an unused factory into an ultra modern market for spare parts. To me it makes more sense than totally moving them. But that computer village is very tricky. The only solution I see there is for it to be removed.

Mynd44:

Wait ooo. You are getting this wrong.

When the report says shut, they don't mean permanent closure oooo. They mean close the market until the problem is completely resolved to stop the loss of lives and property.

Just like when Mile 12 and Ketu were shut due to sanitary issues and they were opened when the issues were addressed

That's a blatant lie! As long as the markets are dominated by Igbos,a baba oloja is not needed.

Berem, ur market is on their land. If indisclipline is a cause of concern, Babaloja will be given and u either conform or eject ursef.


What is it the baba oloja will do that other people cannot do?

A lot. Chief among which is he is a local who understands the customs and traditions of the local community where that market is situated.


Market like Alaba Int'l is under the management of Ojo local government. Why then do they need a baba oloja? To do what?

That u dont see them doesnt mean they dont exist. Anyway, this has been answered up there.

For d fact that d LG boss mentioned both of d warrying groups are igbos show they have hand in it. This time using an igbo to fight igbo so as to see excuse to close d market

Naughty Ibos causing problem in yoruba land.
The only solution is to impose baba oloja on them to make them conform.

All market in this part of the world have one but they might be active or not active. Active here means whether they are seen or not
