I hope there was notice before this? If not! This is where some peeps feed their families. I hope this won't increase 'robbery' case in lagos because this is gonna affect Lotta peeps

So sad it was demolished with their goods.

I will demolish every ''demolishable'' as long as [b]the appropriate procedure [/b]has been followed.

This is the only language Nigerians understand.

Infact, I will bring down everything.

They can quote religion, ethnicity, poverty, the Devil they will appeal to pity, develop fallacies

and cite every possible excuse under the sun for doing illegal things.

I am proudly Nigerian.

BOWOTO:
I think it's a welcome development, Nigeria cannot develop with all these illegal structures.

It is not illegal structure. The shops were constructed by government many years ago and sold to the present owners.
This new government gave them two weeks notice to quit middle of last year December which expires 31/12/15 and the shop owners refused on the ground that the notice is short. I was told the union leaders were arrested.
I advised my client to remove his goods because this government is not used to obeying court order or follow due process and will demolish the shop at midnight or you will just notice strange fire but he said the shops are concretes roof.
The government or contractor wants to build new shopping complex. Came on the 31st December to demolish it, were resisted, they went back, came again, were resisted before they finally surrounded the place with soldiers, police, KAI, lastma and the eventual demolition.

too bad my aunt and her hubby were as affected by it even her son who has a Shop dere. God help us

Macelliot7:

Stop mentioning Igbo..

Are you guys obsessed?

And who says I'm Igbo?

And what if I mentioned them, aren't they humans and Nigerians like everyone?

Dude, eleran ara ni gbogbo wa, gbagbe ibo, hausa abi yoruba

islandmoon:
we need to make Lagos beautiful, plant flower there! the shop owners should go into agriculture as we are trying to diversify our economy!

this got me laffin hard.....u nko...re u into agriculture... as if its by force

DipoDee:


Why is the bolded the death of you senseless tribalists huh! You guys don't have chill at all.
They demolished shops, simple! Don't tell us the shops belongs to Fulani or Yoruba or Igbo, who asked you? Or is Oshodi part of Biafra again, if shops are demolished and you act like we should be bothered about the ones owned by Igbos alone....ewu!

So, I offended you when I mentioned the majority of shop owners there?

So that makes me Igbo and Biafra?

When are we going to rise above ethnic bigotry?

Omo, laju e daadaa ko to ma soro,

Ye ma fohun bi oponu ayirada..

Hmmm. I feel for the owners of shop God! where are they going to start again this is painful at this beginning of the year.

If this is the case, then it's sad.
But Lagos traders should know by now that the government do these things in the middle of the night, and should have taken measures to remove their goods.
Though the fact remains that, Nigerians don't like to obey rules that will make their immediate environment liveable even though they envy other Metro cities like New York and Paris.

I see why those igbo guys had problems voting for Apc during the elections time. This is really not a good way to start the year for them, they didn't even make provision for another place for them............. Soft

Idiot like you forgot to mention the Hausas and Yorubas who were affected and now you have resorted to calling your father names in public.

this is unfair to the hard working Igbos. Not justified

Please leave Igbos out of this. I know the area very well. All tribes, mainly Yorubas, do all sorts of businesses there.

I don't have problem with urban renewal but why not allow them retrieve their goods? What is the economic or social gain in wasting their goods? That place has been that way for decades so it's not as if they are illegal occupants.

Itsekiriman101:
It's called urban renewal. The Lagos state Goverment must make provision for those displaced though. Whatever will be built there should be affordable to those that have just been displaced.

My exceptions to your suggestions are these;

1. Was that place earmarked for shops or the people just laid their wares and goods because it's a disused land?
2. Should government continue to be responsible for people that flagrantly disobeyed the law and resorts sentimental claims of having children to feed
3. Have you considered the illegal businesses and sharp practices going on in that area?
4. In urban renewal, government will pick the cost of legitimate business affected.

This is exactly what I pointed out to the gutter kid ajebutter who obviously have not seen butter before before she resorted to cursing her lineage. The same Oshodi filled to the brim with people from all tribes yet they want to make it all about Igbos...
Tufiakwaaa to senseless bigots on this forum!

This place is not Ladipo or Alaba or Trade Fair oh.

ajebuter:

Some of those shops belong to traders on holiday in their home states..

All is well...

.....and government should wait for them because they are Ibo and on holiday?

This is d change we all voted for.May God help Nigerians from this bad government.

Sis you are not observant.

Not every one that bears a Yoruba moniker on NL is Yoruba. The Dipodee that you are responding to is an ibo Ipob youth. he is not Yoruba

Nope. but at least, let them evacuate

Whether, ibo, Yoruba or Hausa, we are all humans.

Dude quit being an axx. All the nonsense you wrote up here is uncalled for.

The lady stated the obvious, we all know majority of the traders in that area are Ibo. I wonder why that caused you to be miffed. Or is there more to this?

Moreover, that is a lady, show some respect!

Silly oaf..If I curse you in my Language and put authority on it, you will simply die before your time. Report yourself to your mother for training and to your pastor/imam/dibia for deliverance.

I mean it, your foul tongue will be the death of you, go and deliver yourself.

I feel sorry for the shop owners but I still feel those structures won't help Nigeria to delelop, a price must be paid to build a country we all can be proud of in the future.
