zionstaar75:so because there are criminals and ashawos in Mende, government should demolish buildings in that area? How many buildings will be demolished in Lagos because of criminals and flood? |

CommonSense1967: My goodness you guys are so tribalistic - its stinks. I am really beginning to dislike Yoruba people, I had no idea you people are like this. I thought racism was something until I discovered tribalism, Yoruba people - are you people this bad?? Henceforth I must avoid all of you until at least one proves themselves to be good. Tinubu can be president for a maximum of 8 years only but this damage you are bringing on yourself with still follow your generations. |

Rebelutionary: Lagos state will NEVER give a demolition order at short notice. There is always a series of notices. They must have drummed this into the heads of everyone in the system. Anyone who claims they have not received previous notices is lying. This is why now when officials drop a notice they take a picture as well. So no one can start denying afterwards 3 Likes |

In 2004 my company renovated multiple facilities across lagos. The then hod was pally with people in town planning and did upgrades/renovations without approval. Fast forward to 2012,we wanted to do a fresh set of upgrades. Where are your old approvals. No where to be found. We paid for the approvals and paid penalties. On one project one of my supervisors wanted to extend beyond our boundary. It was literally taxi drivers who strated threatening him. They said they knew where the boundary was and they would go to local govt On this same project we extended into the right of way. A year later lasbca came after us and made us take down the structures within right of way. Contraventions and cutting of corners and trying to be smart all come with a caveat - you are always at risk with no source of legal redress. You may get away with it if your contravention is not constituting a nuisance. But when you are literally causing floods, deaths, property and environmental damage to others? These people should be happy lasg is not suing then for gross negligence, environmental pollution, involuntary manslaughter and aggravated property damage. Maybe that needs to be done so people can understand 9 Likes 4 Shares |

MsOnyi24: Pls get lost and don't come back. We could care less about how you feel. Your feelings are inconsequential and irrelevant. If you dish out hate to others, you better expect hate to hit you back in the face. We are just getting started. If you think that we will allow you to demonize us as you did to the Fulanis during the Buhari admin, then you must be smoking Mk puru mirri. All tribes are hitting back at you not just Yorubas because of your ways. You always start something, then when others give it back, you start to play the victimhood slave card. In the same way, you started a war then when you lost, you start to blame others. No tribe is even close to the Igbos when it comes to tribal and religious discrimination. It's in your DNA. Get lost and don't come back. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Take it for free, ALL the owners know exactly what they are doing. We all pretend like we are not Nigerians. A very learned friend is currently in blatant violation of building code to build his AirBnB in Lagos and he won't talk to me again for telling him the truth. He recently paid over a million to some unscrupulous elements, who may or may not be official employees of the state government. He knows exactly what he is doing but kept saying 'this is Nigeria'. When government eventually acts, some clowns who don't care about general good of the system will start whining. Your parents warned you to always stand on the right side of justice but you keep saying "this is Nigeria", I can twist things my way. Due diligence is on the engineers and architects, and most important, due diligence is ON YOU! jamesversion: 4 Likes |

Re: The Flood That Led To The Demolition In Mende by Shikena(m): 4:29pm On May 06 |
God bless you real good!!! Most of the good people in our government secretariats are struggling because they don't delve into illegalities to make tons of money. I insist that almost all the owners, if not all of them, know exactly what they are doing! Even in small towns outside of Lagos, you will always see government's X mark on illegal fences, plots, shops and houses. There is no way government won't give you more than enough notice. Ignoring those notices and pretending to see it just two weeks to demolition is your personal headache. You can only fool those who don't care but pretend to care about the system when it suits them.

Rainy season in Lagos is your sure bet before you erect any building. However, people in charge of approval or condition approval whatever should be severely monitored. Money and resources gone. Why on earth will you erect a building beside canal. |

There is a reason why our people in Nigeria have the phrase "money miss road". Those are not empty words, that phrase is loaded with wisdom. There is a reason why those canal axis were unused for decades, while adjoining areas were fully developed, until impunity became order of the day. Treasure17: |

All the critics of LAGOT on this environmental and urban regeneration are merely wishing LAGOS rot while they create online contents, one after another, to badmouth her. But they've failed. We'll not stop rebuilding. Whosoever wants to go can go but LAGOS mega regeneration plan must be reenacted and upheld. If we do it right, RIGHT people who are regulation compliant, who cherish well-structured society would come in to replace them. It's no more space to accomodate anybody but attractive place for the right people. 1 Like |

naptu2: Well spoken commissioner, those of us that grew up around the Ojota/Maryland axis fully understand the inherent dangers of building anywhere near that canal. There was a wooden bridge we use to walk through from Mende to the Ojota garage in the 80’s but I would not divulge the stories and secrets around it on this forum. However, I strongly advise people new to Lagos to make serious inquiries before investing in landed properties anywhere in Lagos - start your enquiries with the locals You will not accept those lands for free if you know the history of that OIL. Vehicles used to avoid driving across that canal for fear of the river. The name alone is enough giveaway that it’s a no go area 6 Likes 4 Shares |
