If many structure are not approve then don't build on illegal places. they're many unapprove structure that were on proper land

now what is their offence is it that they don't have approval as claimed by the government or there is a dispute over the land?

Beremx:
Where was the government when the construction of the buildings was going on? Why did you wait till people started living in the buildings before you demolish?

It doesn't make sense. That's just pure wickedness

Ignorance of the law is not an excuse.
It is wickedness to build on illegal places, to even settle officials to build those structure shows the builder and the officials are evil people.

so they're facing their music.
There many empty lands in Lagos to build houses why buy land that is not available only to sand fill?
Many sand filling of natural drainage still happening in Ojo Lagos.

Even at rate of 10k per plot I can't buy any land at anywhere apart from south south and southeastern

The land where they build those houses are government reserved sold my landgrabbers

Truth234:


Governments are not touts that go around looking for buildings under construction. It is the responsibility of builder to ensure his/her site is approved.

You have not built in Lagos. Every construction site in Lagos gets monthly checks by officials from ministry of lands and buildings, LGA officials, Waste Management officials and the owners are mandated to post Approval reference on the wall or any conspicuous place.Even omonile agents are stationed on site 7hrs a day. Any statement that those building were not approved is a lie.

If I was a victim, I will sue the state government. Nobody, I repeat, NOBODY builds anything in Lagos without:
1. C of O
2. Approved building plan
3. Payment of waste management fee
4. Evidence of toilet for construction workers
5. Omonile presence to prove you have settled them

Even if it is targeted at them, what can they do about it? Nothing. Let them return to their father land.

If houses are built on drainage route, there is nothing wrong in Lagos state government acting.
People that build on a canal or encroach on them, deep down, they know what they are doing is wrong and may have consequences, but as usual, they say, nothing will happen.
I will always use Aminu jinadu close at iganmu industrial area as an example. One fella, a biggie came and built a warehouse right on the drainage path. Heavy flooding started. Infact, a thriving industrial area became flooded. Imagine heavy machines, generators, high voltage cables being under water. All those factories closed one by one in the late 90s throwing thousands into the unemployment market. Till date that place is heavily flooded.

They are very good at playing the victim card. Slave victimhood mentality has been engrained in their brains since they were born.
They can be the criminal or the perpetrator, and they will still be the victim.
Such low-life OSU salve a victimhood mindset with an astonishing level of hypocrisy.

Ojukwu started a war and still claimed to be the victim, Namdiot Coward Cownu tried the same shit, and is claiming to be the victim now.

It is this mentality that will continue to ruin Nigeria as a country. People have done things against the law, the law was active when they did it but you are here blaming the government for not stopping them when they were doing it. You should be ashamed of yourself. I don’t care whether those who own the properties are Igbos, Yorubas or foreigners. Once you do anything against the law, you have yourself to blame. In whatever you want to do, employ professionals who will tell you the position of the law and abide by the law. It is foolish to be defending law breakers.

Yoruba, Yoruba, Yoruba!
Na how many times i call you!
I rest my case

oh that one loud ooh, but at least the government should have been open to dialogue, like ask the occupant to ratify the land from the government and paying the current value of the land to the government.

Hey, what do u mean by "THEIR TERRITORY"?

So it's no longer one Nigeria?

Jogs1900:

Don't be emotional..It must start from somewhere.You can't tell the state government what to do in their territory.

Stop lying. A bold face LIE.
I have built houses in Lagos, and the chances of govt showing up are slim.

It is your duty to get proper approval.

Someone posted an youtube video showing the buildings were constructed next to canals and waterways. The Bro that made the vid said he's an " Igbo Boy" so it isn't about political tribalism. His words not mine.

Truth234:

You sound childish.... So all those signs with red paints on under construction houses are from who? Touts or government?

Hypocrisy. The water slum that has long been talked about from Oworo, Briga all the way stre thing towards Lagos Island, that comstitutes an eyesore for the international community when they drive thru from the airport to the island, what has been done about it ?


Go to Kara bridge axis, the entire market has formed what is going to be an edemic if not put under control as market men from pooping directly into the waterbody, to slaughtering and disposing if dead animals amd their wastes to massive amounts of open defecation so much so that the color of the water body surrounding the area has turned fully dead..

Agege, Pen Cinema has some of the worst violations in the state. Why has the government avoided there or not begin fron there.? Hypocrisy.


Lagos remains collectively built, developed and established and like Abuja wasnt developed by a single tribe.

Whataboutism is at its highest order because illegal structures have been tolerated in the slums of Oworo and Agege. They should be accepted in the middle-class enclave of Lekki.

Why do you ibos think that you're special and laws should not apply to you? The LASG have their laws and if you want to live there you obey them Such nonsense from you guys

If you have seen houses that have been destroyed and the sickness that has been caused by Stillwater as a result of the flooding caused by people erecting houses built illegally on water drainage routes, you will have no pity for those caught up in the demolitions.

If you bought a ready built home in an estate, sue the developer. If you built yourself then you knew what you were doing was illegal. If you think you have legitimate papers sue the government. This thing is not by noise or propaganda.

See this fool that doesn't have a single block anywhere on Earth!

At times when people talk, u begin to wonder if they are humans.

flokii:
Bring them all down..

They are demolishing buildings in Anambra, Abia and other places, why must Lagos own generate noise and warrant unnecessary explanation?

The man should have asked the interviewer that he is asking stwepid question instead of dignifying them with a reply for the headlines.

If they demolish building in Anambra no one cry, why must Lagos own generate issue from the same people.

Everything should go thr bleep down if you can’t get the neccessary approval even if the house is being built by Yoruba, Chinese, Ibo, Kanuri, or aliens.

Truth234:

You're wrong.

It is the responsibility of the government to create regulatory agencies that monitor and regulate buildings under construction.

They are not called touts they are called regulatory agencies.

The issue the Lagos state government is tackling is flooding, caused by buildings built on canal drainage path. Though it hurts to have one building demolished.

When government tells lies, the rot is deepest.

I live in America. Two years ago I had a house built for me. The way it works in US is that building contractors work with the government to create new plots of land to be developed. The land is divided into plots and in my case, 5 house designs were approved and assigned to different lot. So, I chose one of them and had the house built after obtaining loan from the bank.
I didn't have to know anything about any laws. It's the responsibility of the contractors and the government. Investors both local and foreign don't need to study law to be able to investor in any economic sector.

You don't know that Lagos can be torched in one day by an irate crowd?
Imagine everyone becoming Lagos crazy as you people and your government.

their is no need for all this cry, you cant tell a people or govt with constituted authority where and when to start out their constitutional responsibility. Just the same way when soludo in Anambala was carrying out it duty, did you see an outsider or yoruba man complaining? We didnt simply because its not our business how you chose to govern yourself in your enclave, so therefore this is Lagos, the ancestral land of the yorubas and they dictate the tune or govern how they deem fit for the betterment of it people, you either respect their laws or you relocate back to our region or anywhere else they can tolerate your excessess damn! No be by force to live in lagos afterall lagos is an overhyped slum according to our flat head brother so why do you want to die in that slum

Mystic216:
No explanation is needed from you people

You’ve done your worst
Theose affected will still rise
Lagos state government should move on from election and stop trying so hard to show their displeasure and hatred towards ndi Igbo

I am not Yoruba but I think you Igbos are attracting what you guys perceived to be hatred against you to yourselves...no body hate Igbos but you guys are always ready to hold your pants and cry victimisation at every occasion.

Yoruba and other tribe's buildings where demolished also but those ones will never come out to start talking like kids.

Just as the commissioner has said, if there is any person whose building was approved among the demolished building, let them come out.

They are demolishing buildings that belongs to Igbos in Anambra, Abia etc....who is hating Igbos in this case?

Ignore them, they always play the victim card always it's their way. If you're not pleased do the needful, afterall there the most criminal in the world representing naija always in the bad light.

We know and we understand the frustration that makes many of these allegation surfaces BUT EVENTHOUGH WE SYMPATHISED WITH THOSE WHO GENUINELY WERE UNAWARED OF WHAT THEY WALKED INTO （AND HOPE THE GOOD LORD WILL STRENGHTEN THEM）, WE AGREE THE STATE MUST NOT COMPROMISE ON THE URBAN REGENERATION PLAN AND THE CITY'S MASTERPLAN ADHERENCE. LAGOS STATE MUST BE GREAT WHATEVER IT TAKES AND THE STATE MUST REGAIN ITS GOOD PEDIGREE AMONGST THE COMMITTEE OF ADVANCE CITIES.


GOD BLESS LAGOS STATE
