Hahahah so funny 50m really? bros Lagos is not like any state in Nigeria, first of all do you know that Dangote refinery is 8X bigger in land size the Victoria Island, not even talking about the port that is open to sea. I hope you had from Dangote himself that he got a deal from Lagos state government. For those comparing Lagos to other state, the question is why many people choose Lagos, best know to them. like comparing Atlanta to NY or California. The amount of money that will buy you a mansion in those cities wont buy 1 bedroom apartment in NYC, same as in Lagos and many locations around the world. The answer is simple ROI

"Lagos is No Man's Land."

If them born ya papa well... go and tell LASG that.

Na una Eze still dey chop KiriKiri beans.

The same message UK & USA have for immigrants is what Lagos is saying.

" You cant leave your shiithole home to disturb us. Go back to your homes and fix it."

IbeOkehie:


Questions.

Do you support complete resource control for the Niger Delta or crude oil & natural gas producing areas in general?

Do you support the expulsion of non-Yorubas from Lagos and allowing those expelled to go home and form their own countries in their regions with their own tribes and secede from Nigeria?

Do you support stronger laws AGAINST immigration in the US & UK?

Please I'm NOT canvassing or supporting any view. Just asking out of curiosity.

Thanks.

Good Luck to Nigeria.

GeneralOjukwu:


Yes to all 3 questions.

1. Niger Delta should take the lion share of all the resources in their region. I would advocate 70% at least. My heart says 90% but that's not going to happen. 50-60% is far fetched but more realistic.

2. Why would some idiots leave their shiithole regions after they have messed it up, and come to insult the residents & indigenes of Lagos who worked hard to make the place a better place ? Go back to your region and enjoy the good governance there. As much as Tinubu is accused of being a dictator, check Governors of Class of 1999, how many are relevant today ? How many still have any legacies ?

3. US & UK should flush immigrants out. Blacks especially Africans messed up their continent and refused to fix it. They feel the solution to that isn't to roll their sleeves and work. They just want it " ready made". If we are all forced to stay back, then slowly, people might stop defecating in their own water sources or vandalising transformers or parts of a newly constructed bridge.

If Japan & Germany can rise from the ashes of World War II after being annihilated... do they have 2 heads & 2 brains ?

Lagos state and Nigeria as a whole are not ready to stop this incessant building collapse.
Approval alone does not validate quality, after all the approving team are not part of supervision team and by virtue of their role, they might not be present on site all the time.
Experience has shown that many people have "big plan with small budget".

If you ask me, I will say one of the best way to prevent the menace of building collapse is by asking the prospective house owner to come along with their budgets (BoQ) duly prepared by a Certified Quantity Surveyor or any other recognised cost consultant.

abbey621:


No need for that, we can look at countries like the USA or UK where building codes are easily accessible. An inspector is required to certify that the building satisfies all the codes all the way down to the smallest ones. These inspectors are bonded by insurance and with each signature they are putting not only their livelihood at risk but their freedom as well.

Some inspectors have been jailed for bribery schemes and outright negligence, now the entire process is much more credible and collapsing building is a very rare occurrence.

publicenemy:
Re-apply through the same people.... Instead of you to take responsibility for giving approval without inspection and due delligence, and fire those who gave approval without due delligence you are punishing the applicants... Idiot.

mctech:


Exactly. Barrage of court cases will follow.

You are right, however, this is obtainable in an ideal society where people are held accountable for their actions.
In Nigeria where common interest is usually set aside for personal gain such may be too difficult to implement.

abbey621:


Both solutions will be difficult to implement without a serious government, Nigeria is blessed with laws, proper enforcement has always been our albatross!

Eagleways:
that includes your Yoruba papa. He must go and re-apply. One thing I love about Lagos is that the breakfast is always shared equally, irrespive of where you come from. Even if your papa is from Festac, he must pay

You don't know who it includes. If Sanwo-Olu really wants to go rogue, Yoruba will be exempted from this, but the governor hasn't had enough. Let just wait and see where this ends. You will go to court and he will not follow the order if it's ruled in your favor. He will put on the real war footing, we are getting there. All he needs to say is that his people are endangered by aliens.

Eagleways:
fellow country men are referred to as aliens as against the law and no action taken against such utterance in a democracy ??
