Why Do Government Demolish Houses When They Can Build Roads Around Houses-PHOTOS by Blackberrybabes(op): 8:12am On Jan 30, 2016
This is what I call real development and not the type going on in different parts of Nigeria where the Governments are inflicting pains on its citizens. It is so obvious that the Government, with adequate and proper plans can actually maneuver the construction of roads around buildings, especially street roads that won't entail motorists speeding at high levels.

As it seen on the streets of London, road constructions can actually be done perfectly around building without having to demolish my house.

Let our governments know that not all buildings must be demolished to actualize their developmental plans. They should learn from this.

What?? Are you even serious? Do you even understand this is all planned? You're talking like there's a house in the middle of the road and they went around it. For those the build houses, shops where they shouldn't be built, the only solution is to demolish it. Why not try to build something somewhere that's unapproved in the UK and tell me if they'll come and build a road around it or not demolish it and even lock you up.

Another thing is, you know cities like London, Paris, etc went through an era of mass demolition to get to where they are today. We haven't even started being serious about it in Nigeria, in fact no where close to being serious.

@ op, there are have been plans on map on many Nigeria roads, most demolished house in Nigeria are built where road(s) will be contracted in future and lastly, the government failed us by not letting us know publicly the lands that are tagged for creating roads in future.

I'd bet that structure was built after the road was constructed, though so much planning would be involved.

Naija landlords be like make we build house block road so only one car go fit pass

Roadside traders, beggars, okadamen and random layabouts would have swamped these kind of areas where available in most parts of Nigeria.


When the govt goes tough on evicting them, they then grant grammatical blunder filled interviews on tv saying how the govt hasn't been fair to them. undecided
