Ok

Jakande estate is long over due for face uplift. Since it was built by Baba Jakande, no government has taking improving the estate structures into consideration. Rather most government official in LSDPC are busy making money by allocating every available space to build to build on, thereby distorting the original plan and structure of the estate. I commend the courage of the minister on environment on this noble step.

However, I want her to go further by fixing all the port holes within the estate, putting street light and beautifying the entire estate. She will be remembered for that..that should be extended to all estate built buy Baba Jakande. I have a shope in the estate and it was affected, but happy over the development for sanity and security within the estate. The estate was gradually turning to drinking bar estate where prostitution is gradually become a norm. Hon Minister I comment your effort towards bringing the estate back to the original plan of residential estate and not a business estate as it were...There are speculation that the demolition will not continue....pleases don't stop until your objectives are achieved. Thank you for being a responsible focused commissioner. God will protect and guide you and family.

I was almost crying when I saw it last night. Over 300 shops. I really feel for those affected.

It was bound to happen, twas just a matter of time.

Will lagos state government demolished that place if tinubu's house is there?I don't know why Lagos state government is fond of destroying people's shelter in the name of upliftment.At the end they will turn it into a bus garage.Goverment of destruction.

Some people have been rendered homeless, "shopless" by this act. The rate of crime in the estate will be further escalated. I know this because I live there. People be creating jobs for themselves government be destroying that which they created without creating anything. #demolition

What happened yesterday was the height of wickedness and government's insensitivity to the plight of the masses. For everyone that cares to know the truth, the demolition had noting to do with Givin the estate an uplift. I live in the estate and I can categorically tell u that we've had the worst power supply in our axis frm January till now, the estate has terrible motorable roads, the govt has stopped financing the operation of the central sewage flushing; individuals in my zone contributed to get the sewage to work when the entire zone became an eye sore due to sewage spillage.
Back to the demolition, the govt called the structures illegal but ask them if LBIC AND EJIGBO LCDA don't collect money from the shop owners or if LASSRA don't collect money for shop name advert. Listen everyone, those structures are shops that are mostly owned by pensioners/retirees and it is the only source of livelihood for most people at a period when rice= 23k, fuel=145, dollar=475>, December is around the corner and all the govt can think of is to stop the only means of survival of poor masses without providing any alternative. To give the estate an uplift, start by improving the power condition, fix the roads, get the sewage to work andprovide affordable shop alternatives before thinking of demolition. Only God will judge all those behind this wicked and satanic act.

tinubu wants all of you to buy a shop at tejuosho...

Jakande ?

It's a sad experience surely, but your argument (against the demolition) is rather emotional than logical/rational. Those structures are not meant to be there and wasn't planned for.

Yes it's been the norm now (makeshift shops) but that doesn't make it right. Infact it directly mirrors everything that is wrong with Nigeria, we've all abandoned the hard right decisions for the easy "normal" albeit irrational ones and it's been haunting us.

There comes a time when we have to take a step back and take the painful and hard but completely right logical decisions. It's for the best.
