CluelessMODS:

It is only in Nigeria that people like you call degradation of the environment nonsense yet you want Nigeria to be like Dubai. Una never start. The demolition of houses in Eboyin and Anambra was also because of tribal affiliations abi?

Whatever the government can do to compensate the affected persons the government should do and let's leave all this evidence proofing.

Once people build illegally on water channels, you remove what is obstructing the flow of water.

If you were as intelligent as even a tadpole, you would be able to use you brain to know this.

There were major incidents of flooding in the Mende and Aboru areas in 2020, 2021 and 2022 and the Lagos State Government subsequently issued contravention orders to owners of properties that had encroached on the right of way of the System 1 Canal, a canal that is a very important drain on the Mainland.

Contravention notices were issued in 2021, 2022 and 2023.

Late in 2023 the residents, accompanied by the representative at the Lagos House of Assembly went to see the Lagos State Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources. The Special Adviser to the Governor on the Environment was also at the meeting.

At that meeting the residents admitted that they had been served contravention notices since 2021.

However, a singer, Yemi Alade, recently said that the residents were only given 2 hours notice before their properties were demolished. This thread documents all the events, beginning from the floods.

DMerciful:
Lagos is almost entering the Atlantic Ocean geographically so there'll always be flood occasionally. Don't use this normal flooding consistent with coastal areas as excuse for demolitions.

Even if you demolition 100% of houses in Lagos, there'll still be occasional flooding. Coastal cities like Venice, Sicily gets flooded constantly. Countries like the Netherlands and Italy gets flooded.

We know the game plan but our electoral choices remains our electoral choices and will always be based on equity and justice!

Mende wey I know like the back of my hand.

Many built houses that later sank into the ground.

Pako bridge linking Mende at Ajose street to Ojota, used to have a house that only the top window of the 1st floor was still above the ground. It eventually got demolished and the mechanics around there expanded their workshop over it.

All the canal pathway within Mende has been turned into one estate or the other. In those days, you will stand on the ground near the swamp area of Mende, and the ground will be bouncing.

Same thing applied to Arowojobe Estate in Mende, but people kept on sandfilling the swamps and building houses like no man's business.

Gone are the days Alligators used to be found in the canal areas of Mende

Stop defending evil. Sanwolu has done nothing other than destroying Igbo owned houses and properties in Lagos since after the 2023 Elections for the simple racist reason that the Igbo didn't vote for him. In this harsh Tinubu economy all you could think of is destroying people's livelihood. Your reward awaits you.

They want to turn Lagos state to another Anambra slum. That, we will not take. No amount of your maligning will make you stay in Lagos state illegally.

I noticed building sinking also in Port Harcourt. Someone bought a swamp and built an estate on its. There were at the plastering stage when the building started sinking inside.

But why are engineers and architects wicked. Why not inform the owner not to build on such land.

Still 2022.

Anything to justify the dastardly act by Lagos state govt...




Days of recompense is coming!

Keep quiet and stop this deception. There was a destructive flooding in Dubai not long ago. Did you hear they went about destroying houses and blaming the same victims whom they( govt) gave approval to build the houses in the first place. This subterfuge won't sway sane, reasonable, and objective persons.

Yemi Alase has an Igbo mother and I understand her Chinedu spirit showing.

Fortunately, the good people of Lagos are now wary of bastards like this and know how to handle them appropriately.

I think it is the greed of the landowners who are determined to put the land to use. Due to the same greed, they go for structures that the land cannot carry.
