After the civil war, when a certain northern governor came visiting the east 5 years after the civil war, he saw tall buildings everywhere in Onitsha. He was so shocked. He began to ask if this is the east.

Myopic people always find excuses when development suffice.
During Fashola's restructuring of Lagos (of which many Westerners were affected), a lot were said of his "evil-intentions", even people abroad were amazed at Lagos' new look.

Now, continuation of that development is seen as a tribal attack. Some people are just too shallow minded.

It is obvious many prefer replicating their village/farm-settlement into urban areas.

Oshodi is like a gateway for any visitor coming into the country. Oshodi view can discourage first timers flying into Nigeria. I once remember picking-up a non-nigeria from International Airport. She has been very excited to visit Nigeria due to Nollywood films and news about Nigerians in diaspora. Driving thru old Oshodi shocked her.

When Govt tried to end corruption, some see it as witch-hunting (and anti-party activities)
When Govt tried to demolished illegal structures to pave way for new development, some are seeing opposite.

People will forever find excuse for any development, same people will complain Nigeria need to be like developed country.

Nevertheless, creating environmental pollution from that activities is purely insane!

Demolishing those properties firstly is an A-grade stupidity but adopting the 1626 way of waste disposal by openly burning the rubbish in such manner shows Lagos state government is more stuppid than the word 'stuppid' itself. Who burns unwanted belongings in such an unethical manner again in this 21st century?

I go to that electronic/electrical market very often and I can tell you that a lot of Yorubas had shops there. The ratio of Ibo traders to Yoruba traders is about 70% Ibos to 30% Yorubas. The market was demolished partly because of bad security reports about the place.

This is wickedness. I blame the Igbo leaders for all these nonsense. Let all those affected come back home and assasiante their state Governors so that all the future ones will learn to be patrotic to the Igbo nation. Nonsense

Honestly, this is really sad. Even though they were given notice, but come on, we are all humans. That humanity in us should have moved the persons in charge to ensure people move out their goods before the demolishment. Its just terrible and i feel so sorry for those affected.

NO. Yoruba are law abiding citizens we take government serious. we respect our leaders . if they ask us to vacate the premises we would do such without any stress. so government would have been forced to destroy our properties.

By Anayo Okoli

UMUAHIA—IN compliance with his promise of rebuilding Aba, the commercial capital of Abia State, Governor Okezie Ikpeazu has issued notice to commence demolition of illegal structures in to make way for the city’s the regeneration.

Consequently, the state government named the structures to be demolished to include all structures, property, stalls and shops encroaching on roads and service lanes.

A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. Godwin Adindu, said the owners of such structures had been given seven days to remove them, failing which bulldozers would descend on them.

“The government of Abia State is by this notice informing all property owners in Aba metropolis and the general public that, in line with the government’s commitment towards the rebuilding of the city of Aba, which necessitated the establishment of Aba Urban Renewal Office, the agencies of government will commence a demolition of all structures, property, stalls and shops which encroach into the road, seven days from this announcement.

“The property to be demolished include but not limited to buildings on service lanes, illegal shops, illegal fences and such other structures that constitute a blockade to the free flow of traffic and drainage.

You know, I came into this thread trying to see what happened at this market. Living in another country, I try to keep up with what is happening back at home.

I'll say this, I do believe people were warned before demolition, but regardless, it is unfortunate that some may have lost their means of a living through the demolition.

What I was disheartened to read are most of your comments on this thread. The tribalism, the non-empathy, the anger, the insults--the hate. I don't want to paintbrush my people by a mere thread, but I see this over and over again and it hurts my heart. Why do you have to get to the point you start insulting Igbos (and someone started mocking their names even). How disgusting.

As smart and creative as we are, we revel in tearing each other down because what?
-That Nigerians aren't all in the same boat?
-That citizens of other countries distinguish and rank tribes?

When there was a Kenyans vs Naija war on Twitter, did they break you into tribes or just insult our whole country? Let's stop fooling ourselves.

Asides from the tribalism, I am shocked at how mean spirited a lot are on this board in general. Why? What is the issue, jor? I feel like a lot of you, my people are sad, and unload that as anger to your fellow citizen.

As much as some of you proclaim 'eko o ni baje', you should realize Lagos is what it is because it is a melting pot. Think about it; do you wonder why most other states aren't as successful? Think about why the US and UK are doing well. It is because of the mixture of work and ideas by people from varied walks of life.

When I was recently in Naija even, I saw my own people treating oyibos better than their own, even though those whites were there to take resources from Nigeria to enrich their home country's economy at the detriment of ours.

Can we just soften our hearts towards each other? You'd be surprised there's much to gain, but what is there to lose?
