As a non-Nigerian who lived in Lagos for almost 14 years, I can say Landmark Beach Resort is one of the few efficient and lovely tourist havens along the coast of Nigeria. It took vision and courage to develop this integrated beach and it would be a great pity to see it die off because of the construction of the Lagos-Calabar beach road. I think the authorities owe it to Lagos to make sure it survives and thrives.
As a Lagosian and a yoruba indegene who has visited Landmark several times can attest to the fact tgat it is one of the most laudable tourist investment initiatives in Lagos. Lagos State govt must be one of the clueless and insane govts if this news on demolition is true and allowed to go ahead. So Lagos govt has decided to shun agberos, danfo's without road worthiness, the Rowdy CMS district and never ending traffic situation across the metropolis. I have never met the owners of Landnark nor do i have any affiliation to them. Buf God will punish the wicked power drunk officials responsible for this agenda.
I dont think landmark beach will be demolished, if anything,the government want people to invest on infrastructures like landmark beach on the coastal route,why would they demolish an already existing one?
Government that have created nothing want to destroy the effort of an investor, make Una continue nobody will beg anyone.but things like this will give future investors something to worry about.
Why are these petty UA-camrs flogging this issue??? A coastal road doesn't mean the road has to go exactly along the sea front! Landmark Place would remain exactly where it is! The coastal road can run along the untarred road that goes past the Landmark!! Please stop scaremongering! Views are not everything!! 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!
Thanks for explaining this to fear mongers... Coaster road simply means it will be built through mostly coastal states and areas...not that it will be built by the beachside.
@@Damination-yj6ti Show me who els have multimillion $ investment on the shore line?? Its not first time and will not be the last. Yoruba have this culture of eating their cake and want to have it back. Yorubas sell your lands and turn around and use govrment to snash it back.

We are not hearing any noise about Oniru beach but you will will always be noisemakers so nothing new. At the end of the day, the government will do what it wants to do. Landmark should focus on negotiating and not resorting to blackmail through the media.
The man should not be blamed for going to CNN. Apparently, he has met brickwalls in his attempt to negotiate with government. This was how OBJ seized $20m belonging to Mike Adenuga, simply because he wired payment from a New York bank at 5pm New York vs 11pm Lagos time, on the last day allotted for payments. Mike Adenuga had his oil business to fall back om and bid his time. That is not the case for everyone. If Paul Onwuibe was an APC stalwart or Yoruba, you can be sure the matter would be resolved in his favor. If on doubt, ask Ganduje.😮
@ownahometv, even if they paid him all of the money, it's worth . It doesn't replace the job loss. The government will work something out to not destroy it.
The government should compensate him. However I don’t agree investors would stop coming or the state and country won’t develop. Remember the military government took Banana island from the original developer, and the state has grown much more since the 70’s.
As I look at the map of the proposed coastal road, its unnecessary to hit the road along landmark vicinity in fact it is the best when the road should be heading not too close to the beach and therefore its should be pursued at the back of landmark snd no need to demolish it. Land mark is only the decent place in Lagos.
All totally absurd. There's no way a major highway will be built that close to the beachfront. Places like South Beach, FL have kept the main highways away from the beachfront. Firstly, this coastal highway thing is a vanity project that will never be fulfilled. The cost is prohibitive. The price they're advertising is rubbish. To build something like that will cost a minimum of $6 billion. The environmental damage that will be sustained based on the present plans will be protested by all major organizations. There's too much natural mangrove and other rich resources to be preserved. These idiots need to fix and widen the existing highway to Benin and make the necessary extensions. Lagos needs more facilities like Landmark to kickstart it's enormous hospitality potential.
Aren't we all citizens of Nigeria? He has every right to build property if he has the correct permits and he does. This is simple anti Igbo bigotry that the government is accustomed to doinv ever since the Biafran war. Never forget: Peter Obi won the 2023 presidential election. Tinubu is a thief, a drug Lord and probably not even from Nigeria.
He said he has gotten assurance from the government that none of the initial construction will affect his Business And they are still in talks of finding a win/win solution
That landmark was never a beach, eko atlantic is already sand-filling the beach at the front of land mark. if you look closely, you will notice eko atlantic getting closer and closer.
This is the worst business publicity for foreign investment to Nigera. Now the Lagos Authority for the First time wiil have to deal with a sophisticated business Entity with world -wide connections, that Could use International publicity to destroy the potential of attracting any investment to Nigeria. No professional well run businesses or Foreign investment wiil do business in a Country that has no rule of Law or reliable juduciary system. The international Business world is watching Lagos and Nigeria.
Tough one! The government does have the right of eminent domain and so this is always a risk. However if the government plans to build a road that will impact millions might make more economic sense in the long run. As long as he is appropriately compensated and everything is done transparently then I’m fine with it
I have just one problem. Who builds a road on prime beach property? The disingenuousness of this problem cannot be ignored. this smacks of ethnocentric jealousy and Lagos state must not be allowed to get away with it!
This information is false and misleading to the public. The supposed Coastal Road Alignment has been jettisoned into the Regional Plan more than 30 years ago even before the preparation of the Lekki Comprehensive Master Plan. These investors know and usually take unreasonable risk which have severe consequences but yet they go along .
@@ownahometvi wonder....... people just go on and make some claim like we all are stupid......ain't we in the same state......rubbish......he should prove it
So a once in a lifetime opportunity to build a road that will link 9 states and decongest Lagos plus open up lots of land and railway connections should be distorted because one man will make a loss in his business? Won't he be compensated. Or compensation is not enough for him?
Compensation may bring immediate joy to Landmark but will happen to; 1. The single mother working on the beach to cater for her children. 2. Will it create another job for the 12, 000 people? Or add them to the 10m unemployment youths 3. The undergraduates who survive from the beach and may not be able to get another employment due to their educational status.

Landmark Also employs alot of Nigerians landmark is an infrastructure in a big city you cannot demolish a very beautiful infrastructure because of a road
@AnthonyDivine-mn1ty you must be joking😂😂😂. Without Nigerians patronising landmark. landmark will be zero in value. The coastal road will benefit Nigerians more than a resort that only operates 8 months in a year..
Sad what Nigerian bloggers have become, anything for views!! Why the clickbait title and you have nothing factual to say, but mere speculation. Going to block your feed.
Theirs nothing good historical about those that Enslaved us but as for landmark we need to fight for it, it's our heritage..
I don't think the government will destroy an infrastructure as big as this. I pray the President will look into it and avert this economic loss.

Dey play!
Where does the Minister of Tourism have to do or say about this?
