TheBookWorm: You are actually not agreeing with me, what you are doing is trying to have it both ways. You want the slums removed but at the same time want to pass blame for doing the exact same think you admitted must be done. What you are suggesting is for the state to always cater to illegalities and compensate illegalities with tax payers money which in return creates more problems and embolden other people to repeat the same thing knowing that the state will give them free accomidtion. Have you asked yourself if this state can even afford to do all the things you people are suggesting and when is it going to stop? Makoko people did the same thing and the state resettled them and is also feeding them. When is this going to stop If your main answer is to always reward illegalities? can you even sustain it with taxpayers money or any kind of money... 1 Like |

~Bluetooth:permit me for calling you fool, yes you are..... Have you been to the 3 cities you named, altogether ? Would you like me to remind you that there certain provisions made for citizens and residence of the cities?

kross_01: You still can not compare Lagos with jburg or any other municipality. every society is unique based on a lot of things from money, history, culture and expectations from the elected officials. I still need you to tell me where the money to house millions of beggars, illegal settlers and every so called thousands of common man crossing into Lagos state everyday. Tell me where the money will come from... 1 Like |

Nigerians like to use the excuse of lack of money to keep perpetrating behaviour worse than that of animals. Go to a typical slum in Lagos and ask yourself why human beings prefer living in such incredible filth. Life is about planning. If Lagos is too expensive, get the hell out of that city and find yourself some place else to live in. My parents live in a state where a 3 bedroom flat is N100,000 per annum, and they have light 24/7. The same facility where I live in Abuja is N1.3million per annum. Yet people without any tangible means of livelihood will prefer to pack into Abj and be building slums which will sooner or later get demolished. Same thing in Lagos too. We should stop being filthy and stop resisting positive change. Go to Abali Park area in PH. After the government drove all the traders off that area where the rowdiness was providing cover for these bad guys who were mugging and molestign girls and snatching their bags, they came back after three months. What does that tell you about the average Nigerian? WE ARE TOO DAMN FILTHY! 3 Likes |

Someone earlier in this thread talked about the location used for one of the olympic games being a slum b4 d gvt acquired it for tthat purpose but they wia well taken care of.

Tigerhead: I have been reading your ill thought out childish Well clueless jeg refuses to provide proper environment for this people. I know if fashola provide a place for this people more people will start coming to lagos stretching his resources so you can't really blame fashola as much as I don't like the action taken, but when is the right time to take a proper step to correct such illegality when somethin bad happens? |

Neo-XVI: But the republicans you are quoting have produced more Presidents in the US than the democrats and I'm talking about more than double the number of democrat President. Nigerians always prefer status quo. People like you would prefer things to remain the way it is till there's a big hurricane that takes away half of Lagos & you'll now tackle the slum. There are West London & East London.....you'll definitely know where you should belong whne you check your wallet. The issue of council house & all comes into play with time AFTER we clear all these slums. You can build a shanty illegaly & then turn around & be talking about not being served notice when you know you shouldn't even be there initially. And some peeps are even talking about compensation.smh. The issue of the land being the Fed Govts land is someone overnight dream I'm sure. |

babapupa:if the gvt decides that housing is its priority, it won't cost them half as much as they are spending on road infrastructures to house up to 50% of the pple u mentioned. They do not come to me to fund their previous projects my bro, administration is all about priorities. I still maintain my point which is that those guys are natives & even if they are not, doesnt justify the gvt sudden eviction without prior notification. 2 Likes |

kross_01: I am almost certain they were issued quit notice, you people talk as if we are not nigerians, more often than not when quit notice are issued by government,Nobody quits. you will come back at that location to discover more people than they were when you issued the quit notice. Some tough decisions has to be made, compensating illegality has a long term consequence. |

Osc: If he is providing alternatvs fine but if not he shud not inflict pain on d poor just to make name cos its sheer hypocrisy, my koboThe condition of those living in Lagos squalor is worse than pain. There is no pain inflicted. They need to go back to their various state. If the government want to build for everybody in Lagos the state will be broke. The way it is done in the developed countries they have to be housed in another low cost housing buildings and pay for them through instalment. That I think Fashola should emulate here. Lagos is over populated and the infrastructure is overstretched. The only way is to send them back to their states. Too many hoodlums and criminals will emerged at the end. These are people who could be better off in their various states yet come to Lagos and become nuisances on the streets. |

As an Indian living and working in Nigeria. I observe that the trouble with Nigeria is there are too many Nigerians, just like India. This is especially the case with Lagos. So, well done, Governor Fashola. I wish you and Lagos State success in evicting these people who are overcrowding and ruining the once-pleasant city of Lagos. 1 Like |

infolekan: Since when? Quit telling me about Republican-Democrat politics. Democrats have won 5 of the last 6 presidential elections. Bush's win in 2000 was inspite of losing the popular vote, and to this day majority of Americans still think he shouldn't have been president. The popularity of the republican party is at an all time low. Let me be clear, there is nothing wrong with wanting a more humane place for these guys. Nothing wrong! Where it is wrong and indefensible is leveling their shanties without prior notice, and without providing alternatives for them or compensating those who had to lived there cos they were chased out of the national theater area originally. The feds got the place and moved them there. What do they do now? No government in the western world, no matter how noble their intent would do that to its citizens. NONE. Why? It is indefensible. |

OP you just posted half of the information. All those saying quit notices where not given should go and read the whole story. Below is a part of the story which the OP omitted The Lagos state commissioner for housing, Adedeji Olatubosun Jeje, provided a different version of events. “It’s a regeneration of a slum,” he said. “We gave enough notification. The government intends to develop 1,008 housing units. What we removed was just shanties. Nobody was even living in those shanties. Maybe we had a couple of squatters living there.” |
