Tradition is our root. Nobody uproots his root. The road can find another way. One of the reasons Africa is behind is because we lost our way(tradition)

KahlDrogo:
Transplant a tree that size?

Eevn bigger trees get transplanted

Build the road to have both lanes go round it. Win win.

Ok

seen

TPAND:
We idolize a lot of barbaric and archaic beliefs in Africa. Shameful how people reject infrastructural development all in the name of believing one tree brings Goodluck and it's sacred.
Africa which way forward

Would you say the same thing if it were a church or mosque

Wetin the sacred tree, don offer the village?

madridguy:
Fayose must respect the traditionalists and leave their tree for them. That is their place of worship and you must leave it for them.
For those people screaming Africa this Africa that, had been it is a Mosque/Church that is blocking the dualization of same road am sure you won't say so.

Respect for all religion.

Madridguy, no religion should obstruct development .... The gods must be so daft for wanting to obstruct development

Let d tree fight for himself na or design d road in such a way that the tree will beautify the road

Evablizin:
Sacred tree in this 2017 ikere people una the very funny

I am sure you are a Christian and that makes you a hypocrite.Would you say this if the story involves a church Would Fayose do this if a church was involved?

Uproot that tree and transplant it elsewhere.....

Who tree epp

One of the weirdest things I've ever heard. How could a mere tree be sacred? What sort of mentality do some people have? Is Africa really cursed? A tree is in the way of a developmental project and some people are against it because of a tree. Why can't they go in the forest to find another tree? What's special about this one? Something just ain't right. I'll cut down the damn tree in a heartbeat. Complete nonsense.

They Even Built Foundation 4 The Tree

Just what came to my mind first. Let the engineers design the road around that tree. It's simply innovative.

I don't understand why everywhere on this thread keep screaming. It'll be an edifice if such project is executed

nduchucks:
Roads are constructed around major natural and unnatural obstructive structures all the time.

This is probably not a fight worth fighting.

that tree wud be conserved if it were in western nation

are you listening to yourself a tree is preventing the development of an area and you are saying should leave it..even if it a chruch or mosque that was built on a wrong site it would be destroyed no big deal

Tomorrow if Fayose pockets that money, those idiots will accuse him of corruption

OZAOEKPE:

You didn't get madridguy.

His argument and mine is that people are hypocrites. I am certain Fayose would have exercised caution if a church was involved. I sense total disregard in Fayose's act. Yes, I am no religious person, but I like that everything should be fair. If it were a church, a lot of Christians would be condemning the act.

SuperSuave:
AFRICA! oh Africa!

Yes, it is their believe, indians worship snakes, cows etc.

Later you will come here accusing govt of incompetence.

Fayose has bought market . Nigerians can be funny sha, traditional tree koo, local tree.

felifeli:


Nonsense. Go try and pull down a tree in London and see if you will not end up in prison.

dont mind those idiots who havent passed international airports...italy,spain,indonesia,china,india,cambodia etc have all preserved their sacred places

Blatant Lie.

An African only thinks for himself and his family.
Just take a look at the background of the pics,what reflects the essence of the tree

martineverest:

oooo ahead of infrastructural development. How many tress did UK government pull down to build the Olympic stadium and village. Stop being backward and resistant to development

TPAND:
Keep quiet bristih government pull down many trees to build the Olympic stadium and village. You are too dumb to think read and understand that the state government wanted to dualize the road and the indigenes rejected the pulling down of the tree. Read well next time and process with your brains

yeh shay dat guy offend u bfor ni
