Very welcomed development, Ambode is working.


He must demolish all the other markets, he must not stop until the last market is demolished.



If Ambode ever stop demolishing markets, then they will bury him in the market that day.



We have told them to set up business in the East and leave Lagos.


Ambode make all of them return home. U HAVE MY SUPPORT, DEMOLISH ALL THE MARKETS.

Again you have refused to address the issues raised in my comments. I am proudly Yoruba and most of my best friends in my adult life have been of Igbo race.
My point here is to advise Nigerians whichever tribe you are to obey lawful government directives, and where you think your rights are not being respected, seek court protections.
Stop playing the victim

boladez:


Pardon me Dude, I usually don't comment on tribalistic matters but i find this irresistible.

I will be surprised if you live in Lagos !. I marvel and wonder how people like you are able to remain so mono focused and myopic in thinking. In all this are you saying the Ibo Brothers are the only ones affected by this demolition? and have you been to Oshodi or better still robbed at Oshodi? Do you know how thieves , smokers and lowlifers hide in these shanties to perpetuate evil?

Are you aware the current governor was trying to be a people of the masses by reversing the urbanisation policies of the previous administration and he also lost grip of the state? Are you aware that as Africans the only language we understand is enforcement? No serious government will allow chaos and slums to thrive in urban areas?

I will like to know your comments on the demolition of

1. Ketu Fruit market
2. Mile 12 market
3. Oja Oba Ikorodu
4. Egbeda market

You see, tribalism is one of the monsters killing this country and I wonder how people are so wired to only see things from the tribal point of view. When thieves run out of these Oshodi market , rob and return , do they ask the victims if they are yoruba ibo or hausa or south south before they rob?

If you were the governor what would you do?...allow the slums to continue to deface the environment and also harbour miscreants?

For those of us with the Lagos spirit...we don't care your tribe but we respect constituted authority and we also know that some people are owners of the land.

Pleeease spare me!

... if the government did issue eviction notices, they should have gone a step further by publicizing this on the state radio, TV and any other means of communication via the State Ministry of Information.

For example, in Jan 2016, you decide that a market has to go. Go to the market and issue quit notice for say, the 6th June 2016. Carry along all traders and market leaders reminding them of the deadline. Publish this in the Newspapers and run regular reminders on the State TV and via radio jingles. On the June 6th, visit market again to remind them deadline has expired and demolition can start at any time. 7th to 9th June increase media campaign to remind anybody still trading there, that they do so at their own risk, as the deadline has expired. On the 10th June move in with bulldozers.

Of course, all of the above should be underpinned with a concrete plan beforehand for an alternative site where trading can be relocated to.

When was the last time the government obeyed court orders in this country?

Stop being a hypocritical bigot with your diversionary tactics because your tribe thrives in evil, injustice, inequity and lopsided arrangement in the polity!

My discussion here is about the demolition of Oshodi and how a citizen ought to have protected himself/herself from this sort of loss.
It's obvious you have not comprehended my perspective here as it seems you are already beclouded by your victim mentality. You need to take in fresh air and encourage igbo businessmen either personally or via their association to use legal means to protect themselves and their wealth.
On the political train, Igbo race have consistently scored own goals. I know GEJ spent 6 years as President, yet you guys couldn't negotiate development to your region, you had the SFG P ayim P and okonjo I the most powerful duo in the Government and yet you are crying marginalisation. Plssss spare me your river crying.

Yorubas have only flourished at the expense of others by virtue of the injustice, inequity and lopsided arrangement in the polity. 
And to add insult to injury the calibre of leaders Yorubas  have presented to Nigerians are simply bunch of international drug peddlers, squandermanias and treasury looters.


Obasanjo had 11 years to “do the needful” but failed Nigeria – Ameh Ebute October 21, 2014 at 10:30 am in News
By Henry Umoru
ABUJA- FORMER Senate President, Senator Ameh Ebute yesterday took a swipe at former President Olusegun Obasanjo, saying he failed to use his three years as a Military Head of State and eight years as an elected president to do the needful in solving the nation’s problems, just as he said if the former president had done his best in addressing some of these sectoral problems, Nigeria would have been better for it.

According to Senator Ebute, former President Obasanjo could not fix critical roads like the Benin-Ore road; Lagos-Ibadan Expressway; Kano-Maiduguri road; the East West Road, just as he said that even his Otta-Abeokuta dual carriage were recklessly abandoned and could not be fixed in all his eight years as President, despite having more oil money from the Petroleum Ministry over which he personally superintended as President and oil Minister. Why should a President double as the Petroleum Minister of a country?

Despite the pseudo-president Yorubas had in the person of Obj who more or less kowtowed to the whims and caprices of his slave masters, do the average Yoruba person have better welfare than the Igbo person? NO! The Igbo Nation prides itself as having the highest concentration of middle-class citizens while squalor and penury pervade the Yoruba enclave.

In terms of education and enlightenment, the SW has the highest record of illiteracy compared to other Southerners. Of what advantage is then the much taunted free education by Awolowo?

Performing governors and political appointees or not self-determination is an inalienable right of a people. Exclusively hyping on performance of selected politicians as the antidote to the quest of a people to self-determination at this critical moment is simply diversionary and mischievous to state the least.

This argument seems to be predicated on the premise that other governors and politicians are doing excellently better than their SE counterparts. And that is totally false and amounts to a campaign of calumny.

Which of other governors performed creditably better than Chime Sullivan, Peter Obi or Chris Ngige vis-a-vis the available funds at their disposal?

Remember that after the civil war the federal government promised to rehabilitate and reconstruct the Eastern region but subsequent evil governments diverted Gowon’s 3Rs to other regions for neglecting and under-developing the Eastern region for deliberate obvious reasons.

The infallible truth is that the Nigerian system has been so designed to foist notorious crooks on the people and also frustrate credible people from performing.

Acknowledge the simple fact that Igbos fare better than most tribes even with their numerous looting of the commonwealth and great federal government presence. The Igbos have the highest concentration of middle-class citizens while squalor and penury pervade other enclaves. You can see the reality in the shocking manner many of your States are in comatose with many of its civil servants surviving on the good gestures of concerned Nigerians.

With the dwindling crude oil earnings Igbo States are the least affected largely due to the fact that their economy is not crude oil dependent. Fayose of Ekiti government had to send some of its citizens to the SE to learn a skill/trade in a bid to grow the economy of Ekiti State.

Strange bedfellows, with irreconcilable value systems that are at best suitable for the individual selves, are not meant to be together! The 102 years of existence attest to that verdict!

Victor Hugo once said "no army can stop an idea whose time has come" and that "one can resist the invasion of armies but not the invasion of ideas".

Lifestone:


You obviously have lost your argument on the irrationality of not acting appropriately by your igbo clan in Oshodi.
What you need to better understand is that all through the period of Yoruba marginalisation, we vigorously fought the government including that of Obasanjo without calling for quiting the country. That some Igbos like you are calling for Biaf is a sign of your weakness and inability to compete not only economically but also politically. Good enough that no responsible igbo man or woman is in with this macabre dance of yours

boladez:


I see you are trying new words you saw on DSTV with your "Irrelevant talk of Mischievousness" ..Make no sense!

These people were notified and the market was even closed before the demolition. If they go on TV when they can tell them directly my people will shout waste of public funds which is true.


Who allocated the land to them in the first place? If somebody trespasses on your land will you pay for another plot for his to leave your land We all sit behind the computer and dream the Ideal world. If you are governor is this how you will squander and mismanage resources of the state

I can see that your delusion and hypocrisy has no cure yet.

Since you see no wrong in Lagos government demolishing the shops of traders at such poor communication and notification and not even allowing them to carry their goods, can we conclude that as LASG has done to the Igbo traders in Oshodi so shall be your portion this 2016?

You can see how weak your argument has become. The event you quoted above happened only last year and was roundly condemned by mainstream Yoruba. We can very much hold our ground against any tribe in Nigeria rather than cry for pity and playing the victim. I am done with you.

And as you have declared so shall you end up as a ritual victim by your wicked kinsmen in Soka Evil Forest, where your blood shall be freely traded.

LOl...I knew you had no capacity for intellectual discuss because you half wit is only to claim victim.

I can see that as a daft slowpoke you rarely understand written English, but since you have a dirty stomach in place of a workable brain you can only but spew putrifying thrash.

And as a scratched face ritual-escapee you have most likely never stepped out of your juju-infested zone but feed fat on the generational hatred and jealousy passed on to you by your ancestors. FYI, I can afford to feed your generation.

Watch it...as you fall a ritual victim of your wicked kinsmen in Soka Evil Forest, where your body parts shall be freely traded.
