The Lagos State government has commenced the demolition of illegal structure and shanties around the Obalende area of the state. A task force team that stormed the area in the early hours of Saturday said prior warnings including a 48-hour notice had been issued to the occupants.

Some occupants, however, claimed that the notice was too short.

In as much as I support new Lagos

I will advice the Lagos state government to look for lands along ikorodu and build estates so that when you clean up the shanties there will be immediate cushion.

I may be right or wrong

All I know is Eko onibaje

Wow , its just quite unfortunate that when a state is experiencing development, some people will have to bear the cost

You didn't say the same when Igbo-dominated shops were raced down? Shouldn't they also get cushion Mr. hypocritical Afonja?

No pains no gains.. but there must be palliative measures for them.. the time is too short for them to be relocated

48hrs...u expect them to build new house or get a new one within 48hrs....!!

If the state flood all you will be shouting useless government, when they are trying to cleanup the mess that lead to the flood you guys are now critising Him. You can't please man.
Most of those shanties where build ontop of drainages there by blocking runoffs...

Eeiya

Give Lands or financial compensation to occupants of illegal structures? Tho It Saddening seeing people live in such conditions

Most of the illegal became illegal due to the land act

Some of them have live over 30years in that place

We are in democracy is all about the people

Relocating them will help stop another shanties in future

The same areas ambode got his votes during election. Where are they going to live? Lagos should brace itself for a bigger wave of homeless people roaming on the streets.

Most of the people in obalende shanties are same people

Having said that

In as much Lagos Caters for its Citizens
There should be boundaries

Bloody destroy those nonsense, especially those 2 x 2 shops littering everywhere.

They are not indicators of any yeye economic growth, rather, they are more of hideouts for some illicit activities, especially that obalende.

No sire

Rather their States of origin should start building idps for their refugees

There are lots of shanties built on drainages , these people know that such places are illegal . anyone living in such places should know that it will be demolished in future .

It is well, that's all I can say

Dont worry, Kanu has a cushion for those ones back in Biafra.

The task of a better Lagos is a task that must be done.

Development comes with huge price and at the end, we are all better for it.

Modified:
The thread has been derailed. Our common enemies are known. We should not divide ourselves any further. Our enemies are filled with joy reading all these hatred being spewed.

Every states and countries have shanties. They are meant to be destroyed at some point to give way for development, so what is the unnecessarily hatred for? We need to embrace peace asap.

I thought they are the richest in nigeria?

So they live in shanties still?

leksmedia:

Especially,people living/doing business in illegal places. Still can blame them,I will blame govt because no one would want to live or do business in an illegal place if there is adequate infrastructure.

Common we are all human being

I just weak for you bro

Many Yorubas who claim to be Lagosians will now know the road to their villages


Never abandon your villages undeveloped because there is no place like home in times like this


I hope my Igbo people can learn from these people ordeal.


Let us not leave the East undeveloped because if they can do this to their fellow Yorubas they will do much worst to us.


Don't forget to develop your ancestral land no matter where you travel to

The rich and poor also cry.

this is the truth

How can you give just 48hours ultimatum? Is this a military regime? Where did you provide as substitute for those people affected? Ambode come and answer my questions.

For the love of Christ!

Why are you people this disgusting? What has this thread got to do with Igbos? Why does he have to feel sorry for you people? Doesn't one have the right to love who they wanna love and not love who they don't want to anymore? What makes you think one MUST sympathise with you when you are visited with some misfortune?

When the said shops were demolished, were igbos the only ones affected? Why should he single igbos out to sympathise with?

Haven't you realised the inviolable law of nature that "whatever you sow, you shall reap" applies to you people as well? You wake up everyday and openly wish someone's dad, husband, brother, uncle, and president dead simply because you HATE him, then turn around hoping folks would love you?

Your attitude is utterly reprehensible. Deal with your issues like a man and stop hoping around looking for sympathisers like sissies.

Nigerian government, always making her citizen cry.
