Government should get alternative homes for people in this situation. But we Nigerians are so stubborn when building houses. We'll never follow master plans and always bribe officials to look the other way. Here's the result.

There's a pic with an "X" marked on the house, that means that house is/was faulty (no build permit, wrong location etc).

Nobody would ever know the truth but I believe it would be something like
Government marks the house for demolition, a government official tells the people he can help them if they are willing to drop money which they do, government comes with bulldozers and the people feel cheated because they have been scammed and are about to lose their houses.



I feel for them though.

You are still thinking, that mean you ain't sure.. When you are sure let us know.
But before then afonjas must justify and confess that this is a bad omen to Igbos and not Yoruba.

How do you know they have not been compensated?
Am very sure they have been duly notified before hand.
We bring emotions, Tribalism and religion to nation development, ;that's why Africa is yet to develop.
mescan:
this is wickedness, most of this houses were built during fashion regime in this same Lagos, he (fashola) licensed that land before they started building. Things like this happen only in Nigeria where incoming governors ND president abandone the project and plan of the former
Lagos state govt will not just go about demolishing houses if the affected people followed laid down process.
Problem is that most people like shortcuts or they are just acting in sheer ignorance (which is not true in mosr cases).
I am sure most these properties were built in areas marked as "Government Acquisition", meaning auch lands are reserved for government for future use. There are so many "estates" and buildings on areas designated "Government Acquisition" around Ajah area. The fact remains that government will demolish such properties without a single compensation, sooner or later. A government may come in and overlook such area for one reason or another, but another can come in and demolish.

That's why it's always good to do a proper check at Alausa before buying any piece of land to confirm it is free from government acquisition.

reporters need to report both side of the story. it cost you nothing to confirm from alausa whether a land is govt acquired or not . I discouraged a friend from buying one of this land. owners of buildings around the area already knew it govt land . they were only waiting on govt sympathy .

KingRex1:
Do u think a developed country do demolish properties this way
Sir, developed nations wouldn't even allow citizens to build structures where they are not supposed to and that is why you don't get to hear about demolition exercises.

Its only in Africa that we build houses anyway even on government acquired lands especially when its a compulsory acquisition (govt will make use of the houses someday u know).

That is why the need to get HONEST surveyors is a must to determine the status of a land before purchase though some pple know the status of these lands yet they go ahead to purchase them thinking the govt will not make use of them.

Jagermeister:
Quite a bit of empathy will make you see my point!
1. When buying land make sure you check the Lagos master plan. When renting do same
2. If notice of demolition is given to you go to Alausa and if notice is in good order decide whether you want to litigate or receive compensation.
3. Do not listen to anyone telling you that demolition will not take place and giving examples from some place nobody knows.
4. If If landlord lives close to you, confirm any rumour of demolition. If he did not inform you you might have to right of action against him. Compensation goes to him and not to the tenant. He is supposed to divvy up the compensation and pass on tenants share. He will be compensated market . State estimated value tenant unexpired portion of rent plus inconveniences. As I said earlier, some action for full rent and compensatory damages may lie against the landlord.

*property lawyers please fill in the gaps. Let's understand the law. Sentiment doesn't help in times like this unless you want want set up a private fund for such instances*

Popular writer Onyeka Nwelue shared theese photos of Lagosians rendered homeless after government destroyed their houses.He shared the first photos on Dec 16 while the buildings were being destroyed and photos of people rendered homeless on Dec 17.He wrote...

'Reports are reaching me now that there is an order to demolish homes of people in Ajah. This is between Lagos Business School and Abraham Adesanya Estate in Ajah.

A man, on seeing his house destroyed, has slumped and he is reported dead.

I need more information. We keep oppressing ourselves. Those in authorities must stop harassing us'.

'These citizens have been rendered homeless. The government has demolished their homes. More homeless people will roam aimlessly. Crime rate will increase. Injustice in the land. What do we do?''

You mean the government is free to render people they don't care about homeless?
That is destroy someone'd house and leave them on the street?

Notified or compensated,you don't know the difference?
Why would they be on street if they were compensated?

Why do some of our people reason this way? cry
the government is not free to render those who are affected homeless just like that, they are given a notice period. people just dont care, they wait until the government acts and that is when the begin to cry fowl.


most of these people sef dont even have papers to claim compensations... and that is where their problems begin.
