Why should they offer solutions to squatters, Lagos cannot be the home for 200 million Nigerian.

The city is already an eyesore with slums in every corner, it about time the state government start destroying those slumps, maybe Nigerian will stay in their home state.

Well u have a point...but do you know that govt have been collecting taxes and tolls from this person's for years... and there are statutes in law that protect illegal settlers with years....


But it's all purely academic..

But lemme address ur unfortunate sentiments....lagos and and other state is home to all Nigerians...and people should not be held accountable for govt being stupid and unable to implement policies

I share your pain my brother, but the land in question is owned by the government. They all knew that. That particular land belongs the state government.

You are very correct. They make decisions as is they are God. May God help us fight for our right.

as much as our Developer blodas selling bails of okirika have right to have a decent business, Lagos is a metropolitan state that can gain more and more from IT revolution, New Computer Village would be the Nigerians silicone Valley boasting of billions in IT revenue

NurseJP:
My Guy is affected, I just pray he bounce back, bro assisted me with funds when I needed cash to travel go England, such a good fellow

Help him bounce back. One good deed deserves another.

Many years ago, I bought 2nd hand clothes at this market. I still remember how some of those shirts and trousers look like. This life . I am talking about the late 90's to about the year 2000. I went to the market with my brother and we joined people in scrambling for clothes. Most guys in my neighborhood patronized clothes sellers at Katangowa Market. I thank God for his mercies. However, I believe we don't know how to preserve historical markets in Nigeria. This Market should have been modernized and left at this same location. All the taxes collected from this people, what was the money used to do? I am sure the traders and cloth sellers at this market paid all kinds of taxes to the local council, state government and touts. Can the Lagos State Government account for all these monies they collected from these traders? Hmn.

Don't think I've heard of this place b4. I'm surprised.

Hero10001:
Katangowa was the bigger boutique in the world.

If you know, you know.

I tell u..

This market made me wear grade 1 clothings that passed off as new during my school years..


Had to be in the market before 6 am by 6:45 am done with my picks ..

2special:
Alade market that was diminished about 3years ago is still there with no building

When last did you visit there ?

Why should the first 12 months be filled with agony?

EKO ONI BAJE!

Glad the LASG no longer tolerates impunity and lawlessness...
Nigerians will moan about chaos and disorder while actively promoting same.

All Nigerians cannot live in Lagos (less than half-percent of Nigerian land mass)...
Especially since the NASS has always rejected making a special allocation to Lagos.

These people were not buoyant in Lagos, what difference will it make if they go to Kaduna, Jos or Port Harcourt.

Lagos is overcrowded, too many people with nothing and nowhere proper to live. It's a recipe for disaster.

Katangowa Market In Lagos Demolished By State Government

Onlineclothing:
Order pants trousers 1500
Chinos 3k
Jeans 3.5
Turkey shirts 3.5
Tm Lewin Grade 1 4k
Payment on delivery within Lagos and nationwide delivery check contact on profile just click
All are Europe too brands and all sizes available

All these, are they grade or cha cha?

To be sincere, Lagos is congested and people should divert their attention to other states, but destroying people source of livelihood is not it, why not place an alternative...for those forming posh, these are also known as drift shops (you can also find them in advance countries )where they sell second hand goods, not everyone can afford brand new clothes

InvincibleNIGGA:
This is so typical of many Nigerians (hypocritical nature)....
Though the govt also has it share of blame due...
...
...
The LASG informed them of the plan to demolish and relocate the market since 2011....
The people never saw diz coming 10-15yrs time (fact, cos they know govt don't act on time)
Same way d nearby ile-epo market went d way of TVISL (name of d new company managing ile-epo market)...
Pls don't blame the govt too much but rather give d bulk of blame to the iya-loja and baba-loja 9f d market who have been settled Buh refused to communicate duely with shop owners

The claim from the government is that the residents and traders were notified officially, in reality apart from hear say and the demolition notice painted on buildings on the 17th January 2020, there has been no official notice till date.

If and when Lagos collapse into complete anarchy and it seems to be going in that direction, what will be your sentiment on the statutes in law that protect illegal settlers. I guess it will be let's move onto the next city until it is consumed by millions of illegal slums and squatter camps.....political correctness gone mad.

Even if the Lagos State government was as efficient as the government of Norway, it cannot manage the unsustainable migration of illegal settlers from other parts of the country, we thought when Abuja was made the capital, Nigerian will flock to Abuja, instead, the migration has increased, turning Lagos into a shithole when it is supposed to be the financial and commercial hub of Nigeria.

I support the notion of restructuring the country into 6 regions and reduced the centralisation of government, let each regions be provided with the funds to build their own Abuja

The Bini's conquers Lagos and used Lagos as a trading fort, the first people in Lagos were the Awori's.

I have no problem with other ethnic Nigerian living in Lagos as long as they are not constituting a nuisance as illegal settlers and squatters. If you are born in Lagos, you are a Lagosian in my opinion.

Lagos and Abuja are what they are because the leaders of both regions used their influence to ensure the development of both cities, what were the leaders of the Niger-Delta doing when their crude oil resources was being used to develop other regions.

I will suggest you direct your anger to the lazy Niger-Delta leaders, that despite having the leverage to be kingmakers of Nigeria, will rather behave like slaves. Can you imagine that fool called GEJ built a railway line between Abuja and Kaduna while his home state of Bayelsa didn't even have an airport or major express road?

I ignore personal insults....
They merely betray a lack of substance and a crude personal upbringing.

Sticking to the SUBSTANCE of the matter under discourse, even without bothering to read your dissertation, it's obvious that you miss the point. If the citizens of England acted with the same impunity and lawlessness as those who set up this 'Okrika' market, the dude (and Nigerians running off to England) would have nowhere sane, civilized and organized to run off to. CITIZENS BUILD NATIONS - not vice versa!

Most Nigerians love to blame "leaders" as if they are from Mars rather than integral citizens of Nigeria who merely happen to hold public office at a point in time. But leaders emerge from within the society and often reflect the prevalent values of said society, and that's why people who are on TV pontificating one day become rapacious looters once afforded the opportunity of actually holding public office.

Finally, leaders are NOT limited to the political class or to public office holders or political leaders. Pastors, Imams, teachers, lecturers, parents, traditional rulers, coaches, job bosses, scout masters, etc., are all leaders in their own sphere who contribute towards shaping societal values and mores. Ultimately, however, Nigeria's condition is the culmination of the actions (by commission or omission) of ALL Nigerians!
