Been long I came to mainland, Buh I was surprised to see the very place I do buy clothes and other wears is being demolished, does anybody knw the reason for this? Plus I saw pple being arrested for not using the pedestrian bridge!

Hope the traders were preinformed? To avoid wasting their goods?

It has been like this for long... Op do check mainland once in awhile.... Ambode is about to start working

keep watching

NIGERIA IS RAVAGED WITH INJUSTICE DAYS ARE NUMBERED

Ambo ooo

Lord have mercy on your children

Were the owners of demolished shops compensated?

Majority of the shops are owned by Igbos.

They must have been pre-informed before the demolitions.

I always wonder what goes on in the mind of people who decide to cross an express road while standing under the pedestrian bridge. That's madness.

This change may be long and painful, but I know ur will be worth it at d end

As long as the people's right is not infringed an its going to bring developments, SO BE IT

WAIT, jest heard it on d news now dt they were moved to another market (owonifaari or so).

Ambo oooo oooo

That is a lie! They are rented to Igbos, just like they are rented to Yorubas and other ethic groups in Nigeria.
You people should stop the persecution complex about issues you know little or nothing about.

That market should have been demolished 20 years ago but they bribed their way through, my mother and host of others were not so lucky that time as their shops were demolished by the then military administration.

They don't know what they are talking about, the shops in that market belongs to the LASG , the rent is 50 naira for the lock up shops, while the kick lamp is 20 naira and later reviewed upward, the government office is right there in the market so I just walk in with my mum's previous receipt to pay for our shop and we even pay on monthly basis.
Most owners had probably sold the few surviving shops to the current occupant after the first demolition exercise, out of fear that LASG will eventually demolish the market.

U r right. Those Hausa that sells n repair wrist watch.
But truth b told, igbo dominate the place

If they're planning to install a mega shopping mall, they'd better learn from tejuosho market

Serves them right for pricing the shops out of the reach of the traders!!!
