I don't even know whether what Wike did is legal or not, I just find it funny that government can just grab an individual or corporate entity's land, reallocate it to itself and still boast about it.

It just sounds weird to me Sha.

In Nigeria, all land belongs to the government, bought or not, what landowners have is CofO, which can always be revoked.

The part wey burst head na when e talk say e invite the CEO of Julius Berger to dinner, said nothing about the land and next day served him papers of revocation

If this is true,then why did the original magodo land owners defeat Lagos state government in court?

GloriousGbola:


That post is already ignorant

OVH is nnpc retail, not NNPCL. Nnpc retail/ovh sells refined petroleum products. They have nothing to do with crude.

That posters inability to get the most basic details right means whatever else he writes cannot be taken seriously.

Also I think we have all read that dangote now has oil blocks and is likely to supply his refinery directly.

GloriousGbola:


It is actually the law in Nigeria. It is why a lot of multinationals lease. The government can take over any land. Your c of o is like a software license. You do not actually own the land and the government can revoke your license anytime for any reason

The catch here is it is state governors that can do this and Abuja is not a state and wike is not a governor.

Then again El rufai already established precedent when he ran Abuja

iamoyindamola:

Who are the original owners of magodo?
By law all land belongs to the government but logically the government can't take all of them because they can't even develop 5% of the total land mass
Winning doesn't mean the government can't take it back if they want

BlueRayDick:


The Shangisha Landlords Association are the original owners of the landlord and they won the case after 38 years of dispute.

You are wrong that the government can take it back of they want. A Supreme Court judgement is final; if government decides to cat against it then their act is illegal.

Normally the individual is supposed to sue. But we all know it would be fruitless until this government passes. A court will reverse it in the next government. This is the kind of rascality we face in this country.

BlueRayDick:


Gbam!

They will just count their losses under this current government and fight for it much later. Let's just hope it will not be another case where they will seize government assets 10 years after this government leaves

First off, what wike has done is likely within the law

The man is a thug, but he is a lawyer and his wife is a lawyer.


Keep in mind that it does not matter if it is unkind, cruel, unfair, devious - the question is - is it legal?

Secondly there is an unresolvable conflict of interest in any case. The judges hearing the case will likely be living in the quarters.

So how do you expect them to rule? Yeah this was illegal and we will all exit our quarters right now.

A Benin High Court presided over by Honourable Justice Peter Akhihiero, has nullified the revocation of the Certificate of Occupancy of parcels of land at Amagba Village in Oredo Local Government Area of Edo State belonging to Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, by the state government.

According to the court documents made available to PUNCH Online on Friday, the nullification order was issued on Monday, 23 September, while the judge delivered the judgement in Suit No: B/637/2021, instituted by Ize-Iyamu and I.O. Farms Limited, challenging the revocation of the 1st Claimant’s right of occupancy to the parcels of land at Ward 36/A, Amagba Village, Benin City.

The court also awarded N5 million in general damages to the Claimant, after holding that the Governor of Edo State, the Attorney General of Edo State, and the Edo State Geographic Information Service, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Defendants respectively, committed trespass on Ize-Iyamu’s parcels of land at Amagba Village on 7 July 2021.

The court further issued “an order of perpetual injunction restraining the Defendants, their servants, agents, and/or privies from encroaching on or doing anything on the Claimant’s land inconsistent with the Claimant’s rights thereto.”

Ize-Iyamu’s Certificate of Occupancy for his land at Ward 36/A, Amagba Village, Benin City, was revoked by the Edo State Government on Wednesday, 7 July 2021, and the revocation was published on page 47 of the Vanguard newspaper on the same date.

Dissatisfied with the manner of the revocation, the Claimant filed Suit No: B/637/2021, listing the Governor of Edo State, the Attorney General of Edo State, and the Edo State Geographic Information Service as Defendants.

The Claimant argued that the revocation did not comply with the provisions of the Land Use Act, stating that it breached section 28 of the Land Use Act, Cap. L5, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004, and therefore violated the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, making it unconstitutional, null, and void.

In his judgement, the court resolved both issues in favour of the Claimants, ruling that the revocation of the Claimant’s right of occupancy was in breach of the Land Use Act.

The judge also held that “since the revocation of the Claimant’s right of occupancy was invalid, the Defendants’ entry onto the Claimant’s parcels of land without permission or consent amounts to trespass.”

Continuing, the court held, “Having resolved both issues in favour of the Claimants, I hold that the claims succeed and are granted as follows:

“A declaration that the 1st Defendant’s purported revocation of the 1st Claimant’s right of occupancy to the parcels of land at Ward 36/A, Amagba Village, Benin City, as published in the Vanguard on 7 July 2021, is in breach of section 28 of the Land Use Act, Cap. L5, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004, and is consequently unconstitutional, illegal, null, and void.”

I never see this kind thing before.

You carry Ur money do business wey u feel say go pay u and bring maximum returns in the long run.

You know there are existing players in ghat market before u invested in the business.

Now u came on board and u are asking government to ban all other market players and allow u to operate because the other players are not allowing ur market to sell.🤷‍♂️

Worse still, Ur business is not ready to pay any damn tax either at the federal, state or local government level.

Wike being a trained lawyer and his wife being a judge doesn't guarantee he will act within the ambit of the law.

The only point I agree with u is the fact that the judges will definitely be biased in their ruling if Julius Berger ever think of pursuing the case in court

GloriousGbola:


But from the article it is clear that edo state government did not follow the process for revocation as stipulated in the land use act.

What happened to all those sponsored news reports saying foreign refineries are scared of competition?

Looks like Dangote is the one scared

There's security in being paid regularly 12 times in a year.

You know when you'll be paid and how much it'd be so you'll plan accordingly.

Apart from sickness, another advice that I feel is not trumpeted enough in this period is not to impregnate your woman.

I had made the necessary adjustments, cut off unnecessary expenses and was doing fairly okay but wifey unexpectedly got pregnant last year, put to bed in January and since then its been a struggle to keep head above water cos of the extra baby expenses.

Anyways. thank God baby was XY. I take solace in the fact we have completed childbearing and the kids are in our preferred 1:2 XX-XY ratio.
