#realestate #lagos
This is also happening in Kenya and i personally i a victim here in Kenya , i cried and cried to date however our people are gready therefore when you are buying Land, do due diligence, do not do short cut., corruption is real and we have become inhumane.
I remember my father telling me about these rules. He told me stubborn Nigerians will not adhere to the rules of not building close to the road. There is a law about building like that. He told me this many years, ago when he built his house. He said it will be unfortunate if the law comes out one day and destroy these homes and this doesn't surprise me one bit and yet people are making dramatic noise. If they were building house abroad won't they abide the white man's rules now they are in black man's territory you must break and bend the rules.
I commend LASG for enforcing building and environmental codes
If the authority is aware of residents violating building codes or constructing without necessary permissions, why wait until the builders have invested significantly or are near completion before taking action? It seems counterproductive to allow the construction to progress to an advanced stage, only to demolish it afterward, causing financial loss, waste of resources, and upheaval for the builders and residents involved. A more proactive and preventative approach, such as early interventions or strict monitoring, could prevent such situations and uphold building regulations without incurring such drastic consequences.
Well said this is inhuman at all level
don't say what you don't know...Even when the commissioner came to express his displeasure,they tried to bribe him... let's stop this victim mentality
So there bribed de commissioner really and he allowed them to proceed right so where is de commissioner now,let him come and defend de bribe he collected.my brother these are de reason why Nigerian is not moving forward at all,the government were all awear wen de land where been sold to individual and there couldn't mount actions to stop de development earlier than this time causing pain in de hearts of his citizens it's really bad.
@@richardokoi889 yes they did and the video is available....
Igbos, please sand fill more rivers and think it won't be demolished again. It's high time you go and develop your own 😢
Continue posting this so that people will stop investing in Lagos this’s very sad
Huh? If people don't invest in Lagos, then what state in Nigeria do you recommend people invest in if not Lagos? Or are you saying not to invest in Nigeria as a whole?
With all the mansions in the areas the streets are not tarred nor paved. We have a long way to go in the country.
you get, houses worth millions.... No road.
Tribalistic Tayo, you keep making excuses. Stay on the issue, besides is government job to tar the road.
I don't know what to say about it even that when Lft Ojukwu had told the lgbos to go develop ala Igbo , yet watch in the next. 5 years they may still .
Am igbo but it's good for them, they should come back home
Don't be in a haste to buy or build a house, make the necessary inquiries with the authorities concerned. Get your building permission/clearance sorted afterwards and stay within the building and developement plan (code) of the state as enshrined in their laws.
Be mindful of middlemen who engage in backdoor brokering/procurement of relevant clearances. Avoid power lines, drainages and give all the allowances required from your house to the roads, drainages, power lines ets. Don't be quick to sink your years sweat in landed property you can't guarantee it's reliability or worthiness for hosting your house.
A BQ in a legit land with all the right documents is better than a duplex/mansion on a land that you can't vouch for it's authenticity when it comes to the rightful owner/s or it's suitability for the kind of developement you intend to errect, with regards to urban planning layout of the state.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ The best comment on the subject matter.
Baba you really don't know what you are talking about, some of this houses has legit and proper documentation,yet they still go after them. If the government feels the document is fake,why not go after them top to bottom. Why choose to victimise the buyer? Many of this estates are been built by developers??who gave the approval??why not go after the developer and make them pay for there sins,but no just because the developer is part of them.
@odogwuod3364 You need to borrow sense from Princewillejiog. It's people like you giving bad names to Igbo.
You like to live in your own bubbles of victimisation and self-pity instead of facing the truth. Do right, act right, and you will be at peace with yourself. If only igbos are affected, it is strongly because they are the ones breaking the rules. SIMPLE AS ABC. CHANGE YOUR MINDSETS!
Good advice
Who are the authorities and the right channel 😂?
People have been lawless for a long time and I can assure you that there are many more that will be discovered and demolished. Many would have bribed their way through the building process and I saw a similar case in Ikeja where the house was built under the powerline despite warnings from the state. Somehow the man kept bribing and eventually, the house was not demolished. This is what violators hope will happen as the more they build, the more political will may be necessary to demolish them.
Lagos state and Abuja government cannot continue to demolish houses forever without putting measures in place to prevent illegal structures in the first place...
Why are we acting like we're a nation of mad and primitive people? Can't ordinary people see the madness and wickedness in all of these demolitions?
In Lagos, government has been demolishing houses for over 30 years before my own very eyes beginning with Maroko! When are Nigerians going to realize that this is just wrong and retrogressive?
Which other civilized country acts like this? Are we animals?
In other civilised countries people don't just build anywhere they want
My brother William Oliver Stone said and I qoute,(Never underestimate the power of jealousy and the power of envy to destroy,Never underestimate that Unqoute)
The problem with Nigeria especially the so called elites and political class is envy and jealousy,the igbo tribe have become a victim if circumstance in everything that happens to dt contraption called Nigeria
We're giving just twenty pounds(£20) after the genocide against her supported by the external forces led by the British government,and all of a sudden they rose up within few years to be the most propertied tribe in Nigeria
@@O-ri-ire I know one animal will reply. It's evident you did not understand his comment
@@O-ri-irein civilized countries, measures are put in place to disallow people from building in the first place… that was the point of this article. The government is not building up , why should it destroy then ?
@onezeroxxx, with due respect,how many civilised countries have you traveled to??since you are trying to justify this evil
It is sad, there are no trees or grasses. Then people wonder why there are floods.
I blame the people purchasing the lands to build those houses without confirming if the lands are government approved. This is why people in diaspora needs to be very careful using their hard earned money on illegal lands or illegal apartments built on unconfirmed government property.
No! Blame the people who sold them the land. Also, blame the govt or authorities for not having laws in place to protect its citizens. Blame too, your own brothers and sisters, for being so corrupt.
If the authority is aware of residents violating building codes or constructing without necessary permissions, why wait until the builders have invested significantly or are near completion before taking action? This approach not only leads to the loss of aesthetically pleasing structures but also raises questions about the effectiveness and timeliness of enforcement. It seems counterproductive to allow the construction to progress to an advanced stage, only to demolish it afterward, causing financial loss, waste of resources, and upheaval for the builders and residents involved. A more proactive and preventative approach, such as early interventions or strict monitoring, could prevent such situations and uphold building regulations without incurring such drastic consequences.
Why after the elections are the demolitions becoming a priority? Was Sanwo Olu not there in the last 4 years? It’s revenge!
Well said.
@@thepsychologyofeverything2857 who says the authorities were aware???
Good job. Prophet Nnamdi Kanu warned efulefu, but they refused to listen.
Thanks for watching.
U don't need a prophet to tell u Nigeria feature.. 7more year under the new government. Go for more prophecy if u still need someone to tell you
Yes, I'm 100% Igbo. Umunnem, the time is now. Let's go home. Akuruonuno is the motto. Let's go and develop our place now.
You be mumu. So if you build where you're not supposed to the government should not demolish it because you're igbo? The omole estate in ikeja that the government wants to demolish is it owned by the igbo? Are houses not being demolished in Anambra by the state government? Stop this nonsense!
Madness is speaking… if your home can make them rich, why didn’t day get rich in home… tribalism will cripple you… you want Lagos to be as useless as the east that is under developed ?
The only issue I have with this, is that the government allowed these construction to happen before acting!!! Those who approved these constructions should be punished. Government agencies MUST inspect the environment all the time to spot unlawful construction and stop building, at least before it is completed. That is what other countries do!!! Those who sold and approved these constructions must be punished.And, if any government agency approved them, the government should compensate the owners.
The will not hear
You think lawlessness will help you develop your place? Just erecting structures without any planning is a recipe for disaster anywhere you choose to do it. Stop playing the victim and do your due dilligence.
This is sad, can't imagine the pain the owners of this buildings would be experiencing
How do you think the indigenes of Lagos felt watching Lagos become a cesspool?
Totally in agreement with u.
They weren't supposed to build there, it's a canal for waterways
This have nothing to do with tribes we all can clearly see that this houses are build on the road is very clear ! Let’s start doing the right thing for once
God bless you its time we start telling ourselves the truth
Build on which road, why did this Yoruba government allow them to waste money building before coming to demolish
God bless you for saying the truth
They are doing well. Go back to your home if you have one
Our people living mostly in Lagos had been advised to stop building houses in Lagos yet it felt on daft ears and now these is the consequences it.
So you wait till they build only to demolish it? That is daft and wicked …the government should bout preventable measures in place
Exactly
I can't help but ask if the officials of the Federal Housing authority were not aware when these buildings started as they did not just appear from the sky overnight; it took a process and time to be built or did money pass under the table at the time to turn a blind eye to these buildings?
Do these people have any government issued docunnent pertaining to the land and buildings.
@@nduodiaka-ph9slThe government has a duty to act on time to prevent these buildings being built illegally in the first place and to prevent any waste of resources by the builders eg, governments everywhere maintain a fire service to prevent fire from damaging private property. But in Nigeria it's the government demolishing houses after failing to perform its duty of monitoring and preventing illegal buildings.
Since the government slacked on its duties, the owners deserve compensation and the government officials who failed to act on time deserve jail time.
The property owners are wrong but 80%of the blame goes to the government
@@obiflex You think it`s the govt`s responsibility to make sure you do your due diligence and to save you money? Nigerians are truly an entitled and delusional bunch. This should be a lesson to those that think they can cut corners and not get the correct paperwork before erecting structures. Lawlessness will no longer be tolerated. Everyone thinks they are too smart but this is the consequence.
@@obiflex, All these long story won’t change anything. You should never erect any structure without proper documentation and approval.
@@moham.279that's what you people love to say, you can't hold government accountable for thier ineptitude but within your hearts it sweets you as people home are pulled down..keep rejoicing
There's no ignorance in law. They were warned but thought bribery will take care of things.
That’s the problem of our people
@tayetiamiyu6627 Exactly! Instead, to face the fact and learn from their mistakes, they'll be on emotional blackmail playing the victim card.
They build senselessly everywhere without regard to the state government. Look at Alaba, a temporary place given to them that they mismanaged, violence everywhere, they threatened, and fought with tax collectors in charge. To avoid further problems, their approval will be extinguished/extinct and permit to trade there revoked.
So all the institutions where blind till all the buildings wherebuild and stayed for year's. Una get big problem for that country I swear
And it's a shame to your country that bribery was able to buy land, register the land, and get approval from the same government, for years the government has been def and dumped. Wtf type of institutions do you have in Nigeria?
@DavidOkpara-rv6ek Shame on you for being an idiot and not doing the research of the land you built on at the land registry. Keep deceiving yourselves playing the victims when you already know that the document you are holding clearly stated it's a crown land.
Bribery is part of the human factor and has nothing to do with the government institutions' policies. Why offer bribe for a genuine process. Greed and long throat kill una.
Please l don’t want anyone to think that the government of Lagos State are against the Udigbo. I remember in 1973 my mother was crying that the Lagos government are going to to destroy her house at Orile -iganmu. At that time the Lagos did demolished a lot of beautiful houses close to the bus stop to make a way for the canal. Which they did . Today the canal is none more people have built houses on the canal again after 50 years. Please do get right information before you build your house.
Whatever the case, whether you develop someone else land or not, whether your buildings are demolished or not, every right thinking person should focus on building his own home, there's no place like home.
They will not listen to you...
Those who approved Power in this community and those who named the streets and the Government that allowed the set up of this community is to be blamed mostly. Yes it was wrong to build these structures as most people say. The question is who has the mapping of Lagos.
The government has never been involved in anything in Lagos apart from selfish revenue collection.
There is no pipe borne water, no basic road network, no power solution, no standard community hospital, No housing structure.If not because of the private schools in Lagos' Lagos state would have provided no quality education.( go to the public schools and you would cry) The right channel for approval are not even functioning properly. They don't even go to work! They should have fined these people and increase the land use charge and reroute these drainages with the huge taxes they would get from these communities . Lagos need smart people that can think and act . Not people who act before they think. 🚶♂️
This people are scamming Igbo people
Roads are terrible 😢😢
They would have made more money if they had just fined them.
Everything is not about money, do you people not understand that? The obsession with money and acquiring everything is a sickness. Lagos is under threat because those structures are built over floodplains. Lagos has been a trading hub in west Africa for centuries, before anyone ever knew what an Igbo was, you cannot just engage in guerilla building projects and think there is a price that will cover it, this is how we have got here. Igbos refuse to listen and think they can fall on the good grace of the Nigerian people while being bad mannered, arrogant, reckless and entitled.
Sad indeed. I can imagine the emotionql trauma.
Thanks for watching
This is really heartbreaking 💔
Heartbreaking indeed. I hope they recover from this.
The debris from the demolished buildings will still constitute an obstruction to the water channel. To demolish and restore that land to its natural state will cost almost as much as building on the land. It's a total waste of scarce resources that is 100% avoidable if the government had done it's job on time.
They can ship it to Anambra.

so much pains what a wicked government
If there were no floods, the illegal house owners would have gotten away with breaking the law. It's mother nature that's forcing the governments in various states and countries to take the necessary actions. I remember wen I lived in Louisville, Kentucky a lady asked me about buying a house in a certain high class area. So, i asked my boss whose family had lived in the area for over 200 years. The old man told me, "I'll never buy a house in that area because every couple of decades the Ohio river floods that area". Correctly, about a year later the whole area was flooded by the mighty Ohio river!
wow. i grew up around these parts. These places are now this developed? wow...
This country is just a comic seen.. Who aproved this build. What a country
Was it approved. If it was approved the owners have good case. With approval and c of o.
@@musaajani442 lol u won't know your country at all

GO BACK TO YOUR YIBO LAND
The way the people reason is the way the government reason. Let nobody complain because what the government do to Mr A that you don't see anything wrong with it, they will do to Mr B, C until you collect your own too in one form or the other. Continue to justify lawlessness.
Why don't you also show the demolished properties in Abia State? This is a sad situation, but be consistent.
My brother, it does not matter where it happened. Building in illegal locations is wrong.Taking bribe and approving these constructions is wrong.The government not inspecting and/ or doing nothing until the houses are completed is also wrong!!!
At this point, there is no winner...not the builders, not the government nor the environment!!!!
May be the illegal entities, who approved, who got away with their bribes are the winners.
Sad. Our government institutions are not working, not just in Lagos but everywhere.
@@angelicakweku5293God bless u. They make it sound like d govt is only after igbos's properties.
Shut up, you guys are hiding under Nigeria and perpetrating all sort evil against Igbo people in Lagos, why did you allow this people to build at the first place only to come back and demolish, is that not atrocity i ask you Yoruba bastard, the day wen igbo people will arise against Yoruba will be like film in your eyes, keep attacking igbo people living in Lagos, the day wen e go happen una no go fit move, we dey tell una now una no dey ear,
You can only see things like this in Africa, this is why we poor. There’s no empathy and rule of law. Just sad.
Ignorance is the first bane of Africa 🌍 Why do you fail to make enquiries 😮😮😮😮
Not only in Africa bros. A guy in the UK bought a house in the Westmidlands, demolished the house and built a bigger house on the same land. The neighbours were not happy, they complained to the council and the council has asked the guy to demolish the house. The house cost him £350,000. The council have said that if he does not demolish the house, they will demolish it for him and send him a bill for demolishing the house. Guess what? The guy who built the house was Indian and the house was the biggest in that street. That brought jealousy and animosity from his neighbours.
@Afam Orji, you're wrong sir!
1. Where was the FHA when the lands were being sold and built upon? Why didn't they step in, put up signs on the land and demolish structures from the foundation stage?
2. The Federal government aka FHA in 2023 is under the control of the same people that have been running the Lagos state government with wickedness and incompetence since 1999. So, it's correct to say Lagos state government is doing the demolitions in Festac right now because the federal government and Lagos state are one and the same corrupt people.
Lagos government is incompetent yet all of you cannot stop running to the same Lagos on night buses.... If our governor and our people had made the place ungovernable like your south east , will your people be running there? Or who in his right mind will run to Boko haram Sambisa or unknown gunmen Igbo land?
Isn't it time you put questions to the governers within 'Biafra'? How is it that the East has remained the least developed yet you're in other states seeking refuge, roles in governement and accountability from the indigenes and governers?
@@wordsbymaribeja1470 You know what you win. I see you jumping on every comment telling Igbos how stupid they are for not going back to the east after Biafra, how they have been disrespecting their almighty Yoruba host and others in their ancestral land, when they don't need to be there. How Igbos have been celebrating the deterioration and flooding within Lagos, how they play victim when they are being punished, and how they should go back to the south-east rather than destroying the states of others.
I see you ridiculing people in their plight in a country where they are citizens even when the comments are pointing to the corruption in the government. No you don’t want to hear it because in your own opinion, Igbos are guilty as charged. You are the judge, the jury and the executioner. I do not blame you at all because I can see how uncivilized your mindset is. Someone like you have probably not travel outside Lagos before so how can you tell what goes on elsewhere? Or maybe you have, but you are so fixed in your ideology and your tribalistic mentality. It's just like when white people tell blacks, go back to Africa because a lot of them have never stepped foot outside of their country and they believe Africa is raking of poverty because their leaders or the media tell them so, until recently that some of them are starting to see otherwise
Someone like you have probably not contributed to this Lagos you're so passionate about in anyway whatsoever. You may not even own a common bungalow, so it's quite understandable why you would be angry when you see people of other tribe owning mansions
Yes you win, Igbos are stupid not to know there can never be anything like Nigeria, not to know how they are hated. But I can assure you one thing, evil in whatever form it is presented - whether by words, or by action or by thought, has an expiry date and you may not even be here when this evil seed you are sowing begins to bear fruit. The way God teaches people like you a lesson is to put you in a situation where nobody that looks like you will be there to save you but the same people you have hated on for years. We have seen that happen so many times in real life, so yes, continue basking in your conquest, for tomorrow may not be yours
@@mcdaniayo3711 If you and some people are tired of being Nigerians, you can demand for a separate country where you can stop progressive people from coming in to develop the land. So long as you remain part of Nigeria, you have no right to question where any Nigerian chooses to live and invest.
@@wordsbymaribeja1470 You can do that yourself since you are a Biafran. Go to Biafra and demand accountability but pay your taxes there first. The people who live in Lagos are entitled to demand accountability from the government of Lagos because they pay taxes and they are citizens unlike you who is not a citizen of Nigeria
Urban planning ought to be respected. Building codes have to be followed to the latter.
This is someone's years of sweat gone just like that. It's unfortunate.
We are learning the hard way.
Some of our people don't have sense of history. When migrant groups are more successful than the natives it attracts envy. It is more now because of the emotion that was demonstrated during the presidential and gubernatorial elections in Lagos state. So the Igbos now are at receiving end. It is going continue for a very long time. What you should now is to be strategic and plan very well.
More successful? Igbos destroyed the first federation where the Western and Northern regions were thriving and the Eastern region was doing nothing but watching it's indigenes flock to the other regions. Igbos feel very successful in Nigeria after catalysing years of military rule and destruction, not to mention that you barely have a history and Nigeria is the best thing to have happened to the Igbo, so from such a low base, the Igbo is mighty successful.
Eastern region was thriving before the military seized power. You have poor sense of history. I live and operate from Nnewi my home town, I don't desire to visit or live in Lagos. My brothers and sisters who live outside the South-East should be very careful with their investments. As a tribalist I am not surprised with your position because you hardly travel outside Lagos.
@@nwanyaaugustine608 The only time the Eastern region was trhiving was when the white man was in power there. Azikwe didn't try to be prime minister of the Western region to help us out, because the Eastern region was so successful. Igbos were not escaping a 'successful' Eastern region for null opportunities in the West and North. The Igbos didn't end the federal system because the East was thriving. You think propaganda and fiction is history, and Nigerians have mistakenly alllowed Igbos to spread their fiction. Igbos relish the pitiful state of NIgeria because when Nigeria was doing well the Igbo couldn't hack it, hence the Igbo coup and Igbo war. Igbo success is predicated on being accommodated by others and a failing Nigeria.
Watching from Jamaica. Why were these houses demolished, just a query
THIS IS SAD, BUT HONESTLY OUR IGBO BROTHERS ARE SOMETHING ELSE. DO YOU BELIEVE THAT AS WE SPEAK NOW, SOME IGBOS ARE PRICING LAND IN THAT SAME LAGOS AND OTHER NON-SOUT EAST STATES?
So na only Igbo get houses in abule ado, but Soludo demolished many houses and one big cathedral in Anambra, there was no noise on social media, you people are hypocrite, is it today Lagos state government has been demolished houses.
Is not sad. Igbo's were told about yoruba.yoruba is the creator that you can never trust. Especially when it connected with Igbo's. Ojukwu said 15 yrs ago
Why is Igbo taking it personal ? Are you the only tribe in Nigeria ?
Are saying, it's okay to build anywhere in the south east?
The same way, Igbo traders sell in the middle of the street?
We can't live like animals!!!
The only problem I have here, is waiting till the houses are completed before demolishing them!!!
My Igbo bothers and sisters, we need decorum and organization in our lives.
@@parisaguilera5448useless people,so they should have sat down and allow you to invade southwest after invading benin,awon oloriburuku

Are the house owners being compensated by the Lagos state government?
No, they're not.
With all the wealth this continent have the Africa should be paved with gold
It is ver painful but such happens where is no democratic government. Demolishing people's houses without compensation is not how it supposed to be.
It different lol the houses that are going to be demolished for fourth mainland bridge will be compensated
This can never be correct.Even if there was a misunderstanding with the land .Why not let the owners pay extra money.This is evil at the highest level.
@@ricquelchambers9709 So the 'owners' should get to pay away the bribes that led to those illegal structures in the first place and swathes of Lagos should collapse under water so that biafrans can keep building outside of biafra. Perfect sense.
But state housing authority gave them go ahead and still collected money from them. Compensation should have been given to them at lest before demolition. This is inhuman, barbaric and Wickedness from the pit of hell.
No, they didn't. They offered bribes, and got rotten goods in return. Lagos is the smallest state in Nigeria, yet it is under the most burden with people trying to throw up properties where they do not belong, literally changing the structure of Lagos.
Which Bribe, Lagos state government was involve in this scam, no problem.
This is a life time depression 😢😢😢 God save the life the owner 😢😢😢😢 God , home is home ooo , let develop our own land , I believe this is intentional 😢😢😢 life investment is gone overnight ,so sad , saaaad 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢.
To those affected, my sympathy goes to you and your family. However,Stop pretending as if Soludo and other Eastern governments did not demolish houses that were either built in the Right of Way or on a flood plain. Why is it okay for the Eastern states to demolish buildings but not for the Western States? Stop playing the victim’s card. Kano governor demolished houses for political reasons not Lagos.
OMG this is so sad 😢
Why are some houses left alone in the same street?What’s going to happen to all the rubble?
The ruble have since been cleared. The houses that were left did not block the carnal.
@@AfamOrji
Okay. What a waste of resources on the part of the house owners and unnecessary expense on the part of the government! Eish 🙁
Are the homeowners getting reimbursed or compensated somehow?
How can this be the road in an estate? What is making the place an estate?
#omg ...this is sad
If you don’t learn from your past mistake, you are condemned to repeat it. To avoid the level of anguish on the face of this man, direct your investments to your home state. Nigeria is yet to be a nation.
Or better still, igbos stay in their southeast region
At least they will get sense...
Too many heartbreaks. It is well.
Its really sad. Thanks for watching.
So they're not using equipment to demolish
My question is that who approved the plan of these buildings. THE PERSON NEEDS TO BE ARRESTED
Probably one of the government officials 😅😅😅
Nnamdi Kanu.
They build nice houses, but can not even considered making the roads. What a greedy house holders. Absolute corruption and wickedness. Destroying the Nigeria roads and infrastructure.
The roads in the almighty Lagos we no dey here word for- disgusting.
Shemu shemu heyi.my God
The roads are pathetic
Nawa ooo. Lagos state really get road infrastructure deficit oooo. Those affected should take heart please.
This is about Tinubu no get igbo vote revenge policy. Who is fooling who
Make una dey run una mouth, Shetima is coming, watch your back
@@user-wc4ls9gt6s Shettima, interesting.
if the owners of the buildings and therefore the land hold on to the legal papers obtained for the purchase,perhaps the government could return their lawfully purchased lands without them paying any extras,after the government has fixed /cleaned and restored the land properly..
The foundational law trumps all else, you can't make something legal because the law was broken to evade the intial law. People are also missing the larget point, Lagos is flooding because of these rouge buildings, there is nothing to be done with these illegally 'purchased' lands anyway.
I have no pity for them, they got what they want.. Ndi Igbo for how long will you people be beaten before you will have sense? Nigeria don't like us not for anything, but jealousy and haterad.. please live like the Hausas.once beaten twice shy..
The people involved have to sue the government and demand full compensation if they built via the right route
Sue, who? The owners should go back to classroom to acquire knowledge
If you try to build without proper permits and regulations than complain when buildings collapse that the state is not doing their job, what do you expect?
Igbos are nigerians they have a right to leave anywhere
They don't have the right to build anywhere, they are not above the law, ask them what rights people have in the south-east. It is literally the murder capital of Nigeria.
I thought they are Biafrans.. make up your mind
As a Nigerian, you can live anywhere in Nigeria and build anywhere in Nigeria. If they have a problem with Igbos building a house, business or even living in Nigeria then they should divide the country and let them go. You cant hold a people and not want to succeed. I am for one Nigeria but if you keep saying a particular tribe should go back to their state then free them and let them go. No compensation for demolished properties at all. These same people live in orher people's countries, own properties and are even citizens there.
Please stop spreading hate and lies here. This has nothing to do with Igbo people. This is about building illegally an blocking waterways. The vast majority of people who have had their homes demolished in Lagos have been Yoruba people but for some of you everything is about tribalism.
Who is holding Igbos? Who told them to leave 'Biafra' in the millions to go to other states where they hate the people and treat them and the laws with contempt? Also, who can go and build 'anywhere' in the south-east? You are delusional. The majority of people in Nigeria live in their home states, except the Igbo who maintains that they are oppressed and subjugated but no one is running to live and 'build' anywhere is the south-east.
Government approved the buildings , named the street and are collecting yearly tenamennt rent
Lagos is no mans land, AWON OLORIBURUKU
This 'No Man's Land' attitude is shown manifest in the rouge building and squalor Lagos has been made into, a place where people can be lawless and disrespectful. 'No Man's Land' = ANYTHING GOES. Well, they were told that Lagos is very much ancestral lands, and the law is stepping in to do restoration.
Ndi Igbo! Invest wisely.....Lagos State, mustn't be d only option... There are others, that seem considerate.
This is the government's fault. The government could easily have avoided this unauthorized buildings in the first place by;
1. stopping the buildings at the foundation stage
2. Making the entire process of land acquisition and building approvals digitized and available online on a one stop website
3. Making sure that the approvals needed for purchasing and building houses be clearly listed and the offices, agencies and personnel authorized to issue same should be published on the one stop website
4. There should be a a hotline and interactive online platform where people can report suspected illegal structures
5. There should be a ministry that is dedicated to monitoring buildings to ensure that they have building permits before commencing construction.
6. Every building permit must contain the names and pictures of the government officials who approved them and where the approval is illegal, the officials who approved it should be jailed
Why did the authorities allow these people to build in tge first place. They need to be held accountable.
After the election then boom…who approved it👀👀👀👀
What should the government done? You dame if you do and dame if you done. The people have to take some responsibility.
While I agree with you but do you think that government should also take some responsibility as well?
So who gave approval to build. What a country.
@@AfamOrji definitely that is what I said. The people take some.
MNK told them Igbo ppl put bounty.on MNK.IGBOS SOLD MNK TO ENEMIES FOR TELLING THEM D TRUTH..TODAY HOW FAR? IGBOS in Lagos how far..EVEN OJUKWU WARNED THEM
I hope development commences as quick as the demolision happened
Development of what and where? Lagos is one of the most overpopulated cities in Africa, it is the smallest state in Nigeria, for international perspective, it is less than half the size of London but has more than double the population, and London feels crowded. Everyone can't build mansions and live in Lagos.
There can let the owners take of the root the windows and other materials 😢
Good for them because they don’t list to advise stop buying lands in Lagos they will not list to anyone if you had built all this house in south east or asaba no governor in this zone will get heart to demolish up to this numbers of houses
That’s why the southeast is the way it is with illegal structures all over the place.
I wish the eastern state governers had the heart to stop the killings, kidnapping, beheadings, setting people on fire...
If you see a free, unused land especially in places like Ikeja, Aguda, Surulere, Ajah, Lekki , DONT buy. It is probably NEPA, NNPC, Airport, water channel, etc. Be wise
The road you are using to go to the houses looks so deplorable. No proper drainage system and open ditch which can break legs or even kill. Nigerian government houses alone without proper physical infrastructure like roads is like tea without sugar.
This is wickedness, my uncle's house was demolished in lag years ago till na my uncle no feet buy a land in d village not to talk of building a house, it really sound ridiculous
Its everyones fault. If all do things the right way...then there should be less problems. Natural no one should be building on water banks and under electric wires...but it is the government and media responsibility to spread awareness.
Lagos na no man's land abi😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
If Igbo governor's are building roads 🛣️ in Igbo land all this massive house's will not be building in Lagos we the Igbos much Kwon that governors are the most senseless in this country
Some are being demolished for the Train line and will be compensated. Those who claim to have done due dilligence...let them produce document na.
People will just wake up and destroys someone's years of sweat with out any provision just because they have the power to do so and that's very annoying
Points noted. A question: if my years of sweat is wrongly deployed and it is negatively affecting your years of sweat, that is in a legal position, should I be celebrated?
People will just wade into people's ancestral land, that has been a commercial hub in West Africa for hundreds of years, declaring it 'No Man's Land' and a free for all with no regard for the other citizens and indigenes. How do you think the indigenes felt watching Lagos degrade into a cesspool, coupled with these 'hardworkers' bragging on social media that Lagos is a dirty dump that they are 'developing'?
It's time to go home. Lagos is no longer Federal Capital and we need to respect the rules of law of our host. I hate destructions and government must compensate. They could have been stopped from the beginning not after the buildings are up. The system is messed up.
Compensation in this context is rewarding for deviance. Who is going to compensate the wasted state resource and labour in having to correct these guerilla structures? Who is going to compensate the Lagos residents who have watched their surrounds deteriorate and become flooded because of these illegal structures? How about for the sickness caused by disease bourne illness thriving off of the water? You ALWAYS respect people's land, federal capital or not.
Even as this is happening.
You will Still find some Igbo's digging foundations in Yoruba land
Your brain is separate from you head.
Chibu Ututu. Go to Biafran land to invest.
Biafraland is not fertile unfortunately.....most igbos make their money outside Biafra land....that should tell you something
@okangba1 illiteracy
Main market onitsha is the largest market by volume of good sold in West Africa. Hope onitsha is ur village
@ezeabikwaeric3628 how come your people are migrating everyday to the soutjwest? Idiot, how come your southeast region is the poorest in the south? Not surprised your region is landlocked and very poor no wonder yibo are parasites everywhere in Nigeria
Ohaneze should be ashamed for supporting those who built illegally on airport security routes, NNPC pipelines, NEPA high tension wire, drainage canal, etc.
Everybody knows there is no free, legal land in Lagos metropolis, even in the 70s, and 80s. What is left are designated places like Airport security routes, NNPC pipelines, train track extension, new airport, extension, seaport extension, etc. To see free, legal land, you will reach Epe, Ikorodu, Badagry, even there, you still have to do due diligence
Ask any engineer, architect, surveyor, they will tell you the owners of demolished houses broke the law. But we don't like to tell each other the truth.
A so called estate without proper drainage and paving road. 😮
The roads are so atrocious. People should check if the land is legal.
Go and read your history before and after the civil war or the concept of Abounded property - go home - stop been a slave -whoever wants to buy from you should come wherever you’re. February 25th should serve as an eye opener.
“Once beaten, twice shy”
Othe countries are building new/modern houses. Nigeria is destroying the ones private individuals manage to build
Which community guide line?.UMUNNAA, A fool at fourty is a fool forever, period.
I never knew the Bororo that left office before this new one was only learning when it came to tribalism!
