Ok

Waterways nah. Anymore more reason

The governor did the right thing. We can't continue living without orderliness

Hope them don through the water ways I wonder how some dumb people think we can support this biafrans they are all the same how many month he don use slash education budget and Dey demolish house of God birds of the same feathers

Rickmann:


As much as I'm not a fan of odumeje, this was too harsh ..how can you give just two months notice to relocate a church? That's not fair at all.

How many months is the standard?

Ok na

If it had no political undertone to it, then no wahala because nobody should be above the law. If u build an illegal structure that can cause harm to everyone then the structure should be removed. Soludo should just pity them and give them compensation

Maxymilliano:
It was reported that only the security house was affected and not the main building.

But the taskforce men funny Sha, see the way they slapped him like those homeless traffic robbers for Lagos

Maybe Odumeje's boasting dey vex dem well well?

LOLSeeComment:

Imagine if that was an El Rufai or Sanwo Only government... Would you justify the demolition and attack on Odumeje so well? This is why people prefer to do their business outside southeast.

His church building is blocking waterways, which thereby causes flooding in that part of Onitsha whenever it rains. We can't continue living like animals in this country

Sometimes I wish instead of demolishing 'illegal' structures, government should convert them to some other uses.

Is it that you didn't read the article or you failed to comprehend what you read?

Because iyam not understanding.

Where were the government when huge and landmark structures were erected?

Yes I concur to that, except government already has plan for that area

So even as a prophet he still didn't see this coming? Even though the government gave him expo since April. Nawao, that's quite ironic.
Though that so called security official that was slapping and harassing him was just overdoing it. If bandits or UGM throway one for air now him go scamper pass Usain Bolt. Na riffraffs na dem dey like show themselves pass...

The way you reason is the reason Nigeria is remaining where it is today, you are reasoning backward.

Am a yoruba man...

What if that spot is meant for an expressway or central drainage according to the city's masterplan?

So we should allow people to build indiscriminately and block water ways?
When something is illegal it's illegal.

Probably you don't know, Onitsha has over 20 well structured markets.
Ndị Igbo naturally are travellers that's why they travel to make money.

But two months notice is short time to relocate a building. Even if it rent, landlord most give you six months notice. Talkless of removing a whole building. This is still wickedness. Lagos state is good at this kind of wickedness

There is no wickedness. The pastor himself is wicked. He knowingly built that church in the wrong place. A number of people are at fault - How did he and others get permission to build there? Who gave the permission? Did monies change hand because I know people for this country like to get paid before doing their jobs?

I am not fan of Odumeje but to be honest government is doing right thing in the wrong manner. How can you give just two months notice to church that has established for years without making temporary arrangement choices for them first or pay them compensation first to show that government is responsible? The victims who are feeding through the church are not begging government for money or their upkeep, but yet government got mind of blowing off their sources of daily income without showing more care and compassion than just to issue enforcement order.

Soludo is enjoying free, steady huge monthly and daily income, but thinks life is easy for somebody you demolish his source of income before peaking up so fast again. He will certainly loose members due to distance or otherwise ; and starting all over to raise church and members after lots of wasted investment is never so easy practically than mere talks. Government should have shown more concern by offering them temporary locations of choice within the vicinity to use and issue them compensations agreed on time so they can purchase another land and begins building.

Soludo did not really plan this thing out very well with wisdom, two months is too short even landlord won't give you that kind of short notice.

Government should compensate him for demolising an illegally erected structure?

Why? Are the illegal structure owners paying compensation to the people whose lives they have damaged due to where they built? They should also be fined in line with regulations.

convert what..building house on waterways...governments can't keep such structure knowing fully well it can cause havoc.

Illegal structure. Hope you know the meaning of illegal? The notice is even a privilege. Prosecution ought to follow demolition.

Why would he in the first instance build his church on a drainage line?

Compensation and longer warning for doing the wrong thing? Government should start adding fines for such crimes. It is a crime to build where those people built. My additional challenge to the government is to identify how building permission was given. The crooks who did it should be demoted, fined and charged to court. Demolition is not free and takes away money that could have been spent elsewhere.

It is illegal, it didn't follow the master plan. So there is no need to convert it. U will see some house thy can't follow simple set back. Other d other hand most state didn't have a master plan or never follow it.

Do you know Lagos state government demolish buildings daily without compensation and nobody make noice about such demolition, why do you all turn every into tribal rumble ?

It's on the waterways

Sometimes I wonder who dey get building plan and approval from

When a person buys land,b4 building he gets the approval and government are supposed to warn such a person to build from these end to this cus of this, while building they come around to check that way all these demolition can be minimal or stopped u only demolition the ones that dont pay attention to your warning.. seeing your sweat being demolished is hurtful
