Ambode's Land Use Charge: A Wake Up Call To Landlords Especially Igbos by Nobody: 3:26pm On Mar 19, 2018 |
5 years ago when I was barely 2 years in Lagos, I was moving about getting acquainted with the environment. There was this particular area of Lagos that I stumbled upon. As at then, it was scarely populated aND had dense vegetation all around. In fact at a point, some youths including me and my friends pass through the bush to play ball right in the middle of that area. 3 years later, that place metamorphosed into one of the most developing beautiful residential areas in Lagos. So I heard!! Just last week, I happened to go there to see if I can get an apartment for myself, the structures I saw there made me cry. Money was literally talking. If you go there and you are not challenged to do better for yourself, then know you're irredeemably poor. I met a Landlord there and we were gisting. He told me that during their estate monthly Landlord meeting, If they were hundred in number, 90 of them are Igbos, with 10 from different parts of the country. You know When some people say, Igbos developed Lagos, I wave it aside even though I'm a proud Igbo man but with what I saw yesterday and what I had seen in different parts of the Lagos especially developing areas, that statement has a whole lot of truth in it. And now to the real gist of the day. Ambode decided to reap lagos landlords of their money and increased the land use charge to an all time high rate. After a public outcry, he reduced it but it's still high. Well I have no issues, he can raise it to power 1000 for all I care. All I want Is for him to do something that will make our brothers here to join those already building mansions in the east to do the same. Suspend all your residential mansions here. Go home and build that mansion. You can live in a rent here or better still, build a zinc house here and do your mansion in east. I'm saying this without bias or prejudice, the spirit of the Igbo man is the best you can find. To him, everywhere is home. He's very accommodating. Ambode is showing signs that he's not an accommodating person. In saner climes, government gives you good reliefs just to come and invest in the place but Lagos government sees it as an opportunity to milk people On a final note, before you build a mansion in a Lagos, make sure you have 3 better ones in the east. Never build a house in Lagos if you don't have in the east. Owerri, Enugu, Port Harcourt, Aba and indeed every nook and cranny of the east is available for you to build a serene and comfortable home. Charity they say begins at home. East Is your home!!!! 33 Likes 7 Shares |

It's a painful thing that igbos are busy developing other people's land. I was shocked the day i went to tradefair. Before this time there's this vast area between festac and autoparts, covered with shrubs and palm trees but now the whole place has been transformed to a worldclass estate. Yet the 'hosts' will rob it in on your face asking you to leave their land. Amuwo odofin is another e.g not to mention ajah. 14 Likes |

But Op, one question that keeps invading my consciousnesswhen i read threads like yours is, "why is it that ibos will go to unimaginable ends (die) just to "develop" their enemies' land than their ancestral land"? Abi, na curse? 24 Likes 2 Shares |

FortifiedCity:You know the funny thing about this, people often talk about lagos but the truth is igbos are developing people's lands all across nigeria. Here in calabar many yorubas have spent years here but you hardly see anyone of them with landlord to his name they all go to ibadan to build but it's not so with the igbos here. 10 Likes 1 Share |
