And you know this because?

I knew many people that lived in bar beach and NPA shanty in the late 2000s. There were hardly any known criminal living there. Most people living in these shanties were low income earners like driver's, domestic staff and office workers. Of course there were the ashawos, but armed robbers and hard criminals? No. For your information, the shanties are not free. The residents pay landlords, sometimes exorbitantly.
Most houses in Victoria Island and Ikoyi have always had boys quarters for their domestic staff. So your argument does NOT hold water.

How did the people you mentioned start living on the beach? Were they given accomodation there by their bosses or landlords? Stop defending the indefensible, please. angry

Many years ago, drivers and co., lived in their Oga's BQ, or they lived in areas like Obalende, or in face-me-I-face you single rooms in different districts in Lagos Island.

Those areas were not far from V/I and Ikoyi.

Miscreants were the ones who lived in Bar beach and runaway kids.

Was the demolition itself legal? You cannot use an illegal action to salvage another illegal action. Only a court can order a legal demolition and if that was not done those people have a remedy. The problem is 99.9 percent of them or Nigerians in general don't know.
Legal demolition when those people were illegal squatters, that built shanties on somebody else's land??

You talk like a kid, an ignorant one at that. I have been in Lagos for over 40 years. I watched Lagos develop. When I moved to V/I in 1980, it was relatively undeveloped. We had to take independence bridge to get to where law school is now, there was no Falomo bridge. There was a village between ahmadu bello and the ocean then.
I know many indigenous Lagosians, even most of the traditional ruling families. I personally know the Onirus, the Ojoras, the Oyekans and many others.
Lagos was developed by outsiders not indigenes. Indigenes were/are mostly "omoniles" selling lands to others, who in turn build modern buildings. Of course some also went into property development.
Oga, stop it. I grew up in Ikoyi and I schooled in Victoria Island. Falomo bridge was built in the late '70s.

Free to live anywhere legally, that's the key phrase. Integrate yourself into the community, get the necessary permits and pay the due taxes on your business activities ...seriously, people like you need to set ethnic sentiments aside and reason properly

Most of those guys are petty hustlers who think they will hit it big in the city, just look at the horrible, disorganised and filthy environment with no sewage system or security (there are a lot of criminals among them you can be sure). They need to be ejected for the greater good of society, let them go back to their villages and farm the land

Thank you!! May you live long!

When Lekki Horizon Estate was being constructed at Ikate Chisco side in Lekki, a few years ago, the developers got to site one day and discovered several bags of cement, wood and other building materials had gone missing.

They searched everywhere and got the police involved. Later a few DSS guys got involved. Guess what? They traced the stolen materials to the shanty town next door to the estate.

Some of the artisans and bricklayers carrying out construction duties in the estate, had colluded to steal those materials.

Many petty criminals live in those shanties.

You people have refused to answer the basic fundamental question;
Where will low income people serving and servicing the high brow V/I, Lekki and Ikoyi axis live?
Inside the BQ of their Oga's houses....or in areas they used to live before e.g. Obalende, Idumagbo, Lagos Island etc.

You just being a blockhead to what's really going on. You lack a sense of current affairs and I can understand that you are a toddler when it comes to these things (politics).

Do you know the amount of money pumped into the Lagos ports by the federal govt at the detriment of other ports in Nigeria?

You hear of dry ports in kaduna and federal cash spent to make it work but you wonder why a port at a sea shore (warri, onne, pH, Calabar) isn't concentrated on or developed?

You say Abuja is a learner when it comes to Lagos. Lol! My guy just shut up! The sea isn't an infrastructure.
Last time I checked, Onne port was fully developed and fully functional. Stop saying what you do NOT know. Onne is the 2nd highest revenue generating port, after Lagos port!

Oga, how many cities in the world plan low income settlements next door to high income residential areas? Name them.
London has social housing program that build houses for the poor.

New York through the New York City Housing Authority. They built housing units for the poor sometimes called The projects.



The problem is that in Nigeria, there are very poor urban control methods, put in place to prevent such things. The issue is NOT elite bias, but a problem of illegal squatters that has spiraled out of control! sad
I agree that Nigeria has very poor urban planing before you even start talking about controls.
There is a strong elite bias to governance in Nigeria and it applies to all levels of governments. The government's never consider programs that benefits the poor. Even when they purport to have social programs for the poor, it's either never implemented or poorly implemented. A good example is the health centres. I took my son to one once and the services were very poor and they still charged exorbitantly. I threatened the matron that I will petition them to the Lagos State government. The begged me and gave me half of my money back.
Let me add that the last government that I can remember that did not have an elite bias was the Jakande administration. Jakande build schools and housing for the poor all over Lagos, even on high value lands. He built secondary schools in Osborne, Else Femi Pearse, opposite mobil headquarters in V/I, etc. He built Jakande estates all over Lagos.

I have some cousins that attended Jakande schools and they are very successful members of society today.


The shanties in those areas spring up, from the development of houses and blocks of flats in those same areas.

Artisans, builders and technicians employed to build those flats, often build shanties on unoccupied land, which they use as their temporary quarters when they are engaged to carry out construction duties or activities, on adjoining plots.

But once those houses or flats are fully built, and their job "contract" ends, these artisans refuse to leave their temporary abode, and instead decide to convert such shanties into their permanent residence, especially if other building activities are still springing up around that area.

They stay there, hoping to find additional work, or ply their skills in those new developments, that are coming up. sad

The problem usually goes unnoticed, as long as construction works are still going on in that area. But once the construction works end, then the shanties where those artisans live, then stick out like a sore thumb.

The sad thing is that after a while, it is not only the artisans on constructed sites that live there. Other low income people and destitutes join them. angry

Some of the early settlers even constitute themselves into so-called "landlords," and start collecting rental dues from those who wish to erect shanties, within the same locality.

The occupants of these shanties are not only Nigerians. There is a huge population of other West African nationals from Togo, Cotonou, Cameroon etc, who also live there. undecided

Many of them have no visible means of income, and are often at the mercy of the street wise gangsters within such locations, who are too willing nto exploit them.

You will often see a huge population of unwed teenage mothers, prostitutes, weed sellers, jobless bricklayers, illiterate mallams, agberos, petty gangsters, agbo hawkers etc, all living within these shanties. undecided

They have their own chiefs or 'Baáles' who claim to be the caretakers of the land, and who often extort money from them to settle police, and ministry officials whenever they come there to conduct raids. sad

The sad thing is the real owners of such lands where these people have constructed their shanties are often powerless to drive them out, because these people refuse to leave, when they are served eviction notices for trespassing on such lands. undecided

We should be asking "why do these people illegally occupy lands that do not belong to them, and refuse to leave?"

Eventually, the land owners have no choice, but to involve the police or security forces, to get them out forcibly, from such occupied places. sad

Govt cannot just build low cost houses for these illegal squatters (because in reality, that is what they are). angry

And if those houses are even built, they will never be able to pay for it, because what they earn is too little, to even make adequate payments to cover the cost of such houses.

My church has held several outreaches in some of these areas, and we have interacted with many of them.

When you interview them, they will confess that they came from their villages to work in Lagos, but they ended up spending the wages they earned from their temporary jobs. Or they were robbed of their earnings. cry

When you ask them if they would like to go back to their villages or countries, if funds are made available, they become hostile and see you as their enemy! angry


I agree with all you wrote. Shanties are a complex mix of all sorts of people. You have criminals, prostitutes and other social miscreants. You also have those who need cheap accommodation closer to their jobs or businesses. Shanties are situated close to very affluent areas because the economy depends on proximity to rich folks.

Yes, it is second after Lagos because it was built many years after the Lagos ports were established. It also yields huge revenue, in terms of shipping traffic.

It also has good infrastructure. So how can you say it is not working? Haba! Oga, do not lie, o! All liars go to hell.....don't forget that..

No need for this long epistle. Yes, the UK has council flats for low wage earners.

But are they built in the same neighbourhood as the affluent properties? Go to Bishop's Avenue in North London. You will see huge detached houses on large plots of land, owned by the rich and fabulously wealthy. That street is known locally as Millionaire's Row.

Where will you see any low cost housing there? No, there are none. Go to affluent neighbourhoods like Mayfair in London. How many low cost houses for poor people are in that borough?

Even the London that you speak off, has low cost council flats in districts that are further from exclusive areas, owned by the rich. The only reason why distance is not a problem, is because they have an efficient transportation system, within the city of London.

What is the proportion of social housing programmes in London, compared to the population of the urban poor? I doubt if up to 30% of truly poor people are given accommodation in London.

Despite all that, you still have huge numbers of homeless people living on the streets in different parts of London, and the underground bypass. How many of them has the city of London taken off the streets and given free accommodation??

Please note: illegal squatters do not suddenly appear. They migrate to unoccupied nlands where they take up residence. If things are not working out for them in their squatters colony, let them go back to where they came from. Why is that so hard for them to do? shocked

FINALLY: Jakande did NOT build schools for the poor. Stop misleading people. He built schools to end the rotational afternoon school system in govt-owned schools, that was in place, when he took over power.

Don't forget that in those days, there were morning, afternoon and evening schools for children at primary and secondary school level. This was due to inadequate number of classrooms, relative to the population of school pupils. sad

He saw the need to rapidly expand the number of schools by building them as temporary structures. Many of those schools did not have windows or doors. They just had a functional roof, walls and furniture.

The late Gbolahan Mudashiru who took over after Jakande, then renovated all those schools and finished them up to a good standard.

As for low cost housing estates, Jakande did NOT construct them for the homeless.

He constructed them for low income earners, who could not afford expensive buildings being built by private developers and other govt agencies.

To qualify for such a house, you had to show evidence that you had a proper job, and regular income coming in. You also had to fill several forms, and even make a certain lump sum payment upfront, before being allocated a flat. In some Jakande scheme's, subscribers were given the option to spread payment, after making the initial deposit..

I know some people who bought into the scheme, way back then. Many of them were govt workers.

If truly their stay there is causing havoc den d government should make an alternative to them.



The fact that you are Nigerians and you are poor doesn't grant you the right to constitute a nuisance, violate laws and endanger the rest of the society by erecting illegal structures on public land and drainage systems.

When you say the government should provide alternatives, what exactly are you talking about? Use taxpayers money to provide accommodation for millions of squatters in Lagos state, then turn around and keep building more and more for the thousands and thousands of people that troops into Lagos state every day with no kobo to their name, no family, no place to stay, no job or any means of livelihood?

The same people will go to the internet to copy pictures from Rwanda to tell us how Rwanda is so beautiful and how Nigeria is so dirty when in fact they support and promote the same dirtiness in Nigeria? They can not even obey the laws people obey in Rwanda.

1. I was referring to Lagos - not the entirety of Nigeria. I think you would find that homelessness is more of an urban problem, and virtually non-existent in most rural parts of Nigeria.
2. Even the Nigeria sef - I still reiterate that it cannot afford to provide housing for every Nigerian. Forget about what has been stolen to date.

Let's assume we are starting from ground zero today - is it the same country that is now struggling financially (with embezzlement still) that can realistically provide housing for all 180m of its people?

Even the wealthiest countries in the world - the United States and the United Kingdom have a huge and growing problem of homelessness, and its now wretched Nigeria that can afford to house all 180m.
Thank you for spelling it out clearly. Some funny people are arguing that govt should provide houses for the illegal squatters, as if they are the ones who invited them to come to Lagos, in the first place.

Other countries, you travel for work. Once the work ends, you go back to your original place of abode, where your permanent home is located.

But in Nigeria, illegal squatters remain where they are, and expect govt to reward them with houses, after treaspassing on another person's land....

The moment the Xenophobic attacks spilled into Lagos and residents in the Lekki/Ajah axis were attacked by miscreants, shanties located in that area were doomed.

Most of these criminals, kidnappers, thieves and thugs live in those shanties and the residents don't feel safe with them around.
Exactly! There are over 40 housing estates along that Lekki-Epe expressway, and residents in that axis all have to go through that main road.

If you have ever been in the sad position where your car breaks down on that road, you will find yourself sorrounded by miscreants from those shanties, in the twinkle of an eye....

the basics still remain that town planing is poor in the state or the Lateef Jakande plan is simply not followed and that will inevitably spring shanties and shantytowns even in Ikoyi.

You are the ignorant one. Illegal squatters have been chased away from lands they occupied without the owner's permission, from time immemorial.

When Maroko was demolished in the '80s on the outskirts of Victoria Island, where were you? The squatters were kicked out, alongside the original property owners, the land was sandfilled and shared to the rich. What happened after that? How many years was the case in court? Only those with valid property papers got allocated a small place in Epe, after several years.

The squatters got absolutely nothing....

You are here shouting court order, as if it is a difficult thing to get. You must be a 100 level law student.

Even if those squatters go to court, it will take years to resolve. None of them will be allowed to remain on such a land.

Abeg, commit for road if you don't understand how things work in Lagos.

Illegal squatters are evicted on a weekly basis from places they occupied unlawfully, inside Lekki. Bulldozers demolish their shanties on a regular basis....

Damn! I can see I've gotten you angry enough to show your illiteracy. Well, maybe I'm a 100level law student, maybe not. Maybe you know me, maybe not. That's the beauty of this platform, where people from different poles of IQ and class can talk on a level field.
Who told you even one of those that the places illegally occupied by them did not sue? Have you searched all the courts in Lagos. If the process is slow does it mean it's not possible or it won't have an end even if its 50years? Do you know that it's an action in personae and can be taken over by the estate of the person if he dies. Maybe it's slow and people hardly sue, but it doesn't make it impossible.
Where was I? It was not mine and I don't do ambulance chasing.
I see how things work, but I know it thrives on ignorance, impatience and poverty of means and knowledge like you've just displayed.
Also try to learn and see things beyond how it's done to how it ought to be done. That way you can be alright at last.
