It's like the face of Lagos. I know there's been multiple resistance against demolition and the slum has some NGO backing that has dragged the Lagos state government to court. I heard the slum occupies over 250,000 people. It's gonna be a difficult fight for the Lagos state government.
@@ikemmanuel7859 But the government has an advantage!! Up to 70% of Makoko is on water! Nobody can claim ownership of waters of any country!

@@TeeO8080don’t mind them, they always want to eat the cake and have it, complain of underdevelopment but cry when you demolish shanties, ask for subside and complain of bad infrastructure, they want government to do margic and give free money and salary to everyone
@@babssloans7945 Are you ready to be taxed by the government so that funds can be raised for subsidies. Many of you just talk without understanding what you are talking about.

@CollinsWuks-vn1cg Oponu read your question again and judge yourself. Mumu, throughout big cities of the world, it is very well known that old structures must make way for new and modern structures.

Didn't the people know that they are occupying those lands illegally in the first place. If you build illegally, it is a matter of time before the government comes after you.
"Peter Obi of Anambra State has explained the reason behind the recent exercise especially at Onitsha Bridgehead.

In Lagos state, it is done for growth and development.
Build Makoko for the existing trespassers?? really? by that, encourage more slums in other parts of Lagos? Besides, most of them are from other states and some illegal immigrants from other African countries.
@@macanthony1982 With which money. Or do you expect the government to tax the rest of us to provide accommodations for people who wilfully and knowingly encroach on government properties.

@@macanthony1982 You don't understand what you are talking about. In your mind, the government has all the money to start building houses for private individuals. You are completely ignorant about government finance in Lagos State.
This is long overdue; that Makoko is an eyesore, no serious govt will allow that kind of place to exist in a major city like Lagos that is often the first introduction to Nigeria Funny thing, most of the residents are not even Nigerians. They are from neighbouring countries esp Benin. Lagos has a lot of waterways, they can be relocated to one of them far from the city since they claim they are fishermen Another thing govt should check are the logs of wood in the lagoon at 3rd Mainland. It ruins the beauty of that place, makes it look rough. Govt should relocate them too. If Lagos wants to be a top city destination in the coming years, a lot of clean up is needed. Too many slums and shanties everywhere even in Lekki where you have expensive estates, a slum will be next door. What happened to town planning? We can't continue living like animals in the 21st century
But the development needs to include the low-income folks as well.. without middle to low income citizens, Lagos State would be broke... (see United States)
@@macanthony1982 Oga, Stick to what you are sure of; I live in the US! Any society that doesn't set good standard for living etc is definitely a failed one. Allowing people to live like animals (those are not even houses .....), is not the way to show love to any class of people. It is not a must that everybody should live in Lagos (if you cannot afford a decent accommodation in Lagos; stay in your state)! The same people who are abusive to the government, are also responsible for the delay in fixing obvious issues in the society.
The problem now is this Yoruba people with use stolen money and oil money from our South South Africa to build makoko, why Asari village will in abject poverty, shame

And tomorrow they will say government didn’t inform them
We will count down for them! not everyone is supposed to be in lagos
In as much as I'm in support of this where do dey expect over 250,000 persons to stay in a state like Lagos where there is a big housing deficit .
They should look for somewhere else that garbage called makoko isn't befit people's residents
@@olabodeolajuwon4318 where will dey get money to build, hope not from Oil revenue from Asari village?
It's an eyesore, criminals hide there.
Alhamdulilahi 🙏🏽
But where will they go? Will the government offer them alternative accommodation? I don’t think so.
Subsidies housing, not fuel
Free this, free that!
If you ask for evidence of tax payment now....they will go silent.

How much more tax are you willing to pay, to pay for the subsidized housing? or you think its free?
let me guess you are expecting free?

Let mw save thus video, after the 3 months elapsed hope no one will say they weren't given enough time.
So why cant Lagos State just rebuild Mokoko for the existing residents, build some sort of simple public housing for them
