I beg to differ sir, It will continue to be like that till the Ibos are alright. Go and check any post with Tinubu, they will troop to the thread and start casting aspersion leaving their terrible leaders. The hatred is just at the embryo stage, wait for it to mature, then we will be alright together. The Ibos dont have the monopoly of bad mouth.
Gbam!!! EOD

First of, the land of which the approval was revoke was the Elegushi portion that stands in the way of the proposed road construction according to the article. The guy was right and as funny as it might seem, you're in some way right too. The plan for the place was mapped long before Lekki came to the fore but some smart dude in government cashed home by neglecting to put development of that zone into consideration. So some people would have to pay for the greed of someone in power in past government. I think the state government should investigate and bring whosoever made the approval to book.
[b]But that only make it necessary, as the guy pointed, to seek all information about a parcel of land one intends to buy [/b]and be thoroughly satisfied so as not to fall into this hole of dispair when the time comes. That forest that you think is wasting away has its own plan should in case development comes to it so as to make it not just accessible but totally safe to the neighbourhood around.
After all, I'd been a witness to a situation where three people had a C of O over a certain piece of land with revelation of thier ownership in the dailies (newspapers) they individually kept and at the end of the commotion which got to the court, it was learnt that some part of the land itself fall into future road the state would construct to improve on the development of the area. This was when Okota was just coming up around the early 2000. That's how bad the situation can be. Simply, my main man had to threw away his claim on the land entirely after that and allow the other two slug it out between themselves.
I didn't say he was wrong though, but at the bolded from your explanation is the same where I'm pointing to.

I asked if he read where it was stated that; the portion of land have State Approval even with the layout according to the report. Only that the approval has been revoked by this current administration.

My point in essence is that; if anybody conducted a search for those exact portion of land before it was revoked, the search will definitely indicate such portion have State Approval and that's enough reason for people to buy.

What people are actually searching for is to confirm if particular portion of land is committed or free from government acquisition.

Though the step taken by the government currently is necessary due to the R-O-W and to sort some issues ( traffic) out.

But if anybody conducted a search into those portion like I stated above, it will revealed State Approval. So, in situations like this Government have to bear the consequences by paying compensations to affected parties.

Trust me, I never threw away your opinion too. You are right and that's why I called for the prosecution of whosoever did the approval in the first place. For the compensation, whosoever of the people who can present a genuine Cof O definitely should be compensated. But then, this is Nigeria.

And perhaps, the solution lies in what these two guys suggested. It will stop future despair which surely would come to somebody if nothing is done.

EagleNest:
Lagos state government should make land checks, allocation and approvals more transparent than they are currently. May be digitizer it and allow easier access to it rather than making it a source of heartache for many investors or first time buyers. Kind of bring more sanity and ease with the whole process.
And;

COMPAQ:
.... I don't know why they can't put it online in conjunction with google. Google can do high quality imagery (more than what google maps shows) and then LASG can clearly demarcate lands that have been reserved, so that members of the public can know very easily.

Unfortunately in Nigeria in general, we like to hoard information, so that we can monetize it. In the map, one can clearly see the alignment left alone for the road bordered in blue. Those in trouble are those withing the portion of the road alignment bordered in red. The road alignment there has been completely taken over by properties.

The unfortunate thing is that many people there may actually have C of O or Governors consent, but the reality is that they would have been fraudulently processed by those in Ministry of Lands. After all, the Governor will not go and inspect lands before signing. He expects people in the Ministrey of Lands, Surveyor General etc to have done their due dilligence.

Under the law of imminent domain, which exists in Lagos, there is no parcel of land the government cannot reclaim....whether previously planned and approved for development or not.

All lands in Lagos are the properties of indigeneous families in Lagos.

When you pay for land you enter into a lease contract and secure right to use the land for the lease term. Most leases expire at 99yrs. You do not own the land but if you put a structure on it you own the structure. You are a property owner, not a land owner. The land ownership remains with the family. At the expiration of 99yrs they can come forward and demand that you pay another lease and sign a new contract....or that they need their land back.

Lagos State can never take over a land under the imminent domain law without compensation.

Many citizens are ignorant of the law.

Let's say I lease a land and put property on it but 5yrs later Lagos need the land. My property is not what they need....thr land is what they need. The land owner and the property owner are different interests but one party and can both ask for compensation separately or jointly. Many people are cheated and loose their property or land without just compensation due to ignorance.

Many people lease land (which we wrongly call buy land) and put expensive property on it without understanding the law on land.

Land laws differ in different communities, states, nations, there is no uniformity. Lagos has customary laws on land use. Lagos State government acts as a trustee of that law. Many battles have been fought between the indigeneous land owners and administrative rulers on rights of ownership and till date every battle has been won by the land owners. It will not change in future.

Chill brother.
There should no longer be any argument over what we have already known: that these people just can't exist if they don't drag the blessed ones into what isn't our concern.
LASG is taking steps to make the state better. The report even mentioned the Elegushi royal family as losing parts of their land. I don't know Elegushi family changed to Igbo overnight, or what could be the reason for these two clowns bellyaching?

If you are not relevant, nobody will mention you. Fact.
They see Igbos in their dreams, they wake up and their first thought is about Igbo.
They go out to hustle for pennies, and their first prayer is that an Igbo shouldn't overtake them.
They eat their own food and wish it were ofe ǹsàlà, onugbu or something prepared by Nnamdi's wife grin
They look at their pretty women, but still wish they could measure up to the standards of Nneka, Chinyere or Anụlịka.

So, let them be. Nairaland gives them the platform to vent and rage. You meet anyone of them offline, and they become as meek as tepid water.
Let them be, for they are in a lot of pains. Not that it is any easier for Igbos. Just that we have largely come to terms about how to master our environment, and swallow our pains while soldiering on. Our threshold is much higher.

When you meet any of them, give them a hug.
E no easy for them at all grin grin grin

Very good point!

It all comes down to full disclosure.
Prior to a land purchase ( land lease) you must first get a land survey from a professional. Demand and get full disclosure on the land. It is the surveyor's responsibility to discover from govt records if that land is clear or not.

This is very funny. All Conceived b4 lekki even existed. Very soon they will say the regional road extends to epe in the original master plan for a 4/5th mainland bridge.

Stop the excuses already.
^^^Lekki Town in Ibeju-Lekki LGA (which is an Ijebu-Yoruba Town, just like the 2 other parts of Ijebuland in Lagos State namely: Ikorodu and Epe) has been in existence for some centuries. NOTE: The entire landmass called Lekki Peninsula got its name from Lekki Town where a historical museum is dedicated to Chief Obafemi Awolowo, SAN, who incarcerated for alleged treason in Lekki in the 1960s. Lekki Phases 1/2... and Victoria Island Extension are 1980/90s (relatively recent) creations of urban renewal of the former Maroko and immediate environs through the sand-filling of crocodile-infested swampland. I noticed that SOME people mistakenly think Lekki Phases 1/2 are the original Lekki... but they are NOT. LEKKI TOWN is the ORIGINAL Lekki. Hope this helps you and everyone reading this.

Coastal road starts from around Oniru through Elegushi beach all the way to Ogombo (Abraham Adesanya Estate), but I don't think it has been completed beyond Elegushi side but SUVs still navigate when avoiding traffic on main Lekki-Ajah expressway
Thanks a lot. Would this road pass through directly facing the ocean or would it pass through inland communities?
