Demolition: Lagos Won’t Bow To Propaganda – Commissioner by LifestyleTonite: 10:31am On Nov 30, 2023 |
The Lagos State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, has said the state won’t bow to any propaganda amid the controversy generated by the demolition of houses and structures that have no approval. The state government has been in action of late by demolishing illegal structures, especially those encroaching on waterways, thereby leading to heavy flooding and loss of properties. The action by the government has generated controversy, with some quarters saying it is a targeted attack on the Igbo tribe from a section of the country. In response, Wahab, during a recent interview on Arise TV, stated that no tribe was being targeted, adding that the buildings being demolished were those without approval. The commissioner further stated that if the buildings had approval, that would have been made known by their owners. Wahab also gave reason why most of the buildings were demolished at completion point and not at the inception. According to him, the properties were rushed during the COVID-19 pandemic when restrictions on movement were enforced, which prevented government officials from accessing those areas for inspections. Despite Wahab’s explanation, cries still abound on social media, where many are claiming that the demolished structures must have been approved by shady government officials. Reacting, Wahab shared on X, “We are not going to bow to any propaganda, blackmail or threat. No one can break the law and still benefit from it. The law will take it’s course. The era of anyhowness is completely over!” https://concise.ng/demolition-lagos-wont-bow-to-propaganda-commissioner/ 3 Likes

![]() Fool. Demolish whatever you want to demolish,stop disturbing our peace. After all Lagos is the most developed state in the world, Washington DC, Paris, Mumbai, Beijing etc can only wish to be like Lagos , but can't, because Tinubu did what no other leader in the world can do for Lagos and the same is been replicated in Nigeria now that he's the president. 1 Like 1 Share |

Of course. Even the so called sane climes are demolishing ilegal buildings too. Anything to take Lagos to greater heights is welcomed. I can't wait for the more liberal yorubas like Tinubu to retire from politics. I am liking the new breed of yorubas we are having nowadays. They are more conservative than the oldies. 1 Share

Oga leave story.. demolish everything. An illiterate with money who feels he can buy his way and disregard State laws is a completely useless man. Any of them that have valid papers should come forward to get compensated, those who don't have should go back to their villages.. As simple as abc. 1 Like 1 Share |

MrColdsweat:Only one Southern tribe has the power, the Yoruba. Whether in govt or in opposition, only the Yoruba in the South can significantly bring our Northern compatriots to the table. In the practical realm of politics, the South needs the Yoruba more than the Yoruba needs the South. No other tribe in Southern Nigeria has the experience and advantage to successfully throw its huge population and land mass as a bargaining chip with Northerners when it gets to political contest in a democratic struggle. In democracy, number counts a lot, even during military era, it counts too because you have abundant resources to throw into the struggle just like it played out during the June 12 struggle by the Yoruba and how the Yoruba used political experience and number strength to snatch control of the House of Reps from the mainstream PDP-tendencies during the era of GEJ. It was the ground work for the eventual record defeat of GEJ as an incumbent in the main Presidential election. 1 Like 1 Share |

Foolish tribal bigot. They want to reduce our national heritage to their exclusive village. But they forgot that Yorubas are not known for building decent settlements. Leave Lagos for them and see how it will become another Abeokuta in less than 20 years. 1 Like |

Utter delusions devoid of common sense nor logic. Acting as snitch and asslicking Northerners while Igbos confront them doesn't mean shit. If Igbos decide to start acting like slaves to Northerners, then it's all over for the rest of Nigeria. Yorubas are only hiding behind Igbos vs Fulanis brickbats to gain unmerited favour. Thereby, ensuring that Fulanis continue to lord it over the rest of Nigeria. FreeStuffsNG: 1 Like |

Sadwaste:Oga please calm down, it's not by insults and nzobu nzobu politics sir. The Igbo needs to lean on South South for any political significance. Unfortunately for the Igbo, the South South is a diverse group of minority tribes some of which will rather go with the Yoruba interest when the chips are down. I need you to understand why democracy is for the majority to have their way but those without the majority votes will have their say. Even the Nairaland platform you are using has benefited largely from the advantage of where the owner comes from, huge population to patronize, promote and recommend it for mass adoption. You need resources to gain power but if you don't have those resources then collaborate with those who have the strategic advantages you need. 1 Like 1 Share |
