people underate the power of money and power in Nigeria

Fubara has the money and the power, the battle is still long.. if he plays his card right , he will collect all those useless structures from wike..

Person get the structure before wike took it, person go still take an after wike..

Who would've thought wike himself will start struggling to remove his stooge this early..

If he was the El Dorado, he would've removed fubara in one swoop.. but here fubara stands, doing his things and calling the shots above his headmaster..

Make tinubu sack wike tomorrow, goner will be his name

As long as Lagos state gave approval for properties to be built on the path of the road, somebody would eventually be hurt when the project eventually commenced. The project has been conducted hastily, and the EIA which would have given everybody fair warning of what was to be done, and carried relevant stakeholders along to limit damage was never done, all because Tinubu wants his son and his French buddies to cashout.

Itsrm:


Fair enough. Would have been damning if they demolished Landmark for nothing. Just saying they could have made one more exception.

OasisX:




.....you also believe Landmark is demolished?! LOL!

Itsrm:


Not entirely obviously.

BlueRayDick:


Umahi na clown. Engineer wey dey commence project without carrying out EIA.

It is their craze to have something to point to as project that made them rush in quickly starting the project without doing necessary assessment. Make we sha thank God that all those telecos shouted in the newspaper few weeks ago, if not maybe we no go get access to internet now except people wey dey use starlink

OasisX:




......not entirely or just the shanties and the pool only?!

Itsrm:


Na people business you dey call shanties? The video of the demolition is all over YouTube. Have you watched any of them?

Itsrm:

Theflint1:
Maybe na the building dey make tourists and beach goers dey come landmark before...cornvicts are funny people.

Itsrm:


Makes it less bad but does not exonerate them. If they can make an exception for the submarine cable, why not do the same for landmark and other businesses.

Itsrm:


As I see "shanties", I just tire.

raumdeuter:


If they make exception for other business, why shouldnt they make exception for every property and just not do the road

So if you make exceptions for coastal road, tell me Which infrastructure will you build in Nigeria by making such exceptions everywhere you go

Itsrm:


So why male any at all? They should have gone ahead and shutdown the submarine cables.

Besides, like I said earlier, the owner of landmark in one of the interviews I watched said there's another path which was even the initial plan that they could have used that will less impact on people and businesses.

OasisX:




......Ẹ̀gbọ́n, where the video na?!

That egbon needs Jesus

They should have compensated the telcos like they did to the owners of the "shanties"

izzou:


I don't even see what you said that needs defending.

Other beaches, aside Landmark were demolished. Were they shanties too?

Since there was a possibility of shifting the road , why not at least save people's businesses too?

I am surprised they didn't decide to cut the cables.

raumdeuter:


Its like comparing NNPC refinery or a Power plant on the path to a hotel or primary school

raumdeuter:


Submarine cables affect more people and its impactful to the nation than any other business in that axis

So if they are destroying my property in Ilaje, I can also tell the minister you can save my mansion but make a detour and go for Mr Itsrm property since its of lesser value?

Itsrm:

izzou:


The road would have shifted anywhere as long as those cables were there.

The 2 billion spent on compensation would probably have been saved or channelled into another part of it.

If you would shift a road because of a refinery, why not let the hotel and Primary school be? Why demolish them, then shift the road at the refinery's gate?

Itsrm:
Even in engineering, you can't eliminate risk. You can only reduce it.

If there's no way of constructing the road without affecting people's properties, you take the path that least affects people and their businesses.

You have an alternative, use it.

afrodoc2:


Even though i was not in support of the demolition of the Landmark property and especially the hurried way it was carried out, all hands are not equal. You can't compare the impact of saving a man's personal leisure business to saving submarine communication cables that serve millions of people every day.

izzou:


I am not comparing both.

As long as those cables were there, they had to find an alternative path.

So why not use the alternative from the start? And that's where i agree with Itsrm

The deed has been done. But there's nothing wrong in admitting that those business could have been saved from the start.

OasisX:


......from KM 16 to 25, but Landmark is within KM 1 to 4. LOL!
