I love Mr Tokunbo Wahab's analysis, he's very good at what he's doing, is about the first person that came to defend APC govrt that really made sense without abusing anybody and even shows some empathy on govrt behalf. Now, on GRV, thumb up 👍 for u, Lagos will be delivered from all these inhumanity. Thank you Mr GRV, There is always a way to do it without making people to cry these much. Thank you.
Lol. You must be a clown😂 GRV was thoroughly schooled by the Commissioner
@ayoadebayo4948 Thank you, we have been intellectually endowed by fate and creation. No Story!
Keep it simple. Publish all these things online. Flood zone, land information should be accessible online..
they wont publish such zones online cos they have hidden bullying agendas
GRV using sentiments to treat the issues. The flood is coming, he wont even be in Lagos when the rain starts in earnest. Mr. Tokunbo really knows what he is doing 💪🙌🙏
Are u listening or hearing at all. The money budgeted for the so call project was used for what. U are being sentimental
Àgbàdo boys . We know una
He will probably be in UK or US
This is not about tribes.
What most people failed to understand is that people get approval for 10 units but ended up building 20 units. An example of this was the collapsed Ikoyi building tower. It’s a Nigerian thing. Local government officials also have to be blamed.
well observed. In this case, the government official who allowed that under his or her watch should be punished for violating the "master plan" which should be gazetted.
This is a very healthy exchange. This is the way governance should be.
This commissioner has fully tutored them. Kudos to you
Hon.commission thumbs up, he really is well informed and very articulate…these proves Lagos has the best person for the job❤
He is sound, that is why he is appointed as commissioner 🎉🎉🎉
We can’t take the fact away that they are both good and making sense. Wahab & gbadebo.🙏🏿
With all due respect, Dr Abati's first question to Mr Rhodes-Vivour is PLAIN STUPID!! Rhodes Vivour is advocating on behalf of the citizens of Mende. His motive is irrelevant. We need more politicians to do the same.
Exactly
From the commissioner's view and explanation he is making sense. Thank God is not Onokwasa we will not learn anything from him...He is a big mumu . Thank you Commissioner for your conduct and reasonable response 👏
Serious Lecture session! All of dem dey quiet, learning😂😂
Gragra presenter received sense today.
Government giving documents to restricted area meant fr water flow still condemning d people fr trespassing nonsense kudus to arise news Crew
@@dayowesswesss2150who is government? Are you referring to a compromised official?
Both
We have to be sincere with ourselves as human beings, the government is doing a great job,if these decisions were not taking now,whenever floods take over Lagos,you will see our people condemning the government.
Which good job, where was the government when those structures was raised........they were busy collecting peoples money and approve illegality.
As Much as is good to build at appropriate channels,but already built construction must be looked at before any demolition.don't be happy because you are not involved.
2 things can be true at the same time, my brother.
1. Kudos to Lagos for prioritising efficient city planning. It's about time it did. Lagos is a MESS!!
2. BUT the approvals for these 'illegal' structures did not fall from heaven.
It might not have been the current government, but at a certain point (military or civilian), approvals were granted.
It is interesting (read: insensitive) that in a bid to avoid liability or damages, the state government has avoided admitting its complicity in approving these 'illegal' structures. Good luck to those seeking redress in a court system still budgeted/funded by the state's executive arm.
Who approved the building in the first place. This is the first question to ask. I am sure these properties were not erected in one day. The government should be held accountable. Please put yourself in the owners shoe. So pathetic...
@@user-rb9hi1pm2b I believe ur idea of "holding this govt accountable" is to allow natural disaster like flooding and blame the govt for allowing it to happen. Do u pple even think at all before talking/typing poo. Wow, common sense is really scarce in Nigeria.
This commissioner is so sound and knows his stuff. Emotions apart tough decisions must be made.
Let the house owners who bought from developers (who built beyond the approved areas) sue the developers.
I thought GRV (an architect of MIT) would give more sound options or suggestions on better ways as he says on constructions of the water ways, but he never gave any suggestion despite having this opportunity.
It eventually seems GRV was more political while Tokunbo was more concerned about providing solutions to state issues.
rubbish... he is talking from London.. why is he not on ground... humans today mk the nxt generation of tomorrow.. yes, there may be blockage.. but why mk humans homeless, destroying a people's life work.. Qs did a former governor give consent? Yes; so why so quick to destroy.. with zero compensation or relocation.. so sad, that they can only destroy.. 😢
Gov Sanwoiku knows that he has nothing to loose so he can act anyhow
I think I doubt his MIT credentials, this is an institution on par with my Alumi in World class
@@femibanji You need serious help or go to nearest Church ⛪️ 🙄
He is a brilliant commissioner... I look forward to seeing you in a higher level of governance & working with you also....!!!
Nothing brilliant there..
Esthervanda… If you can’t see brilliance in Tokunbo’s perspective in this interview, that shows your low level of reasoning.. and how shallow minded you are…

@@esthervanda7401 Bonehead, bring Abacha back!
@@adekunletaiwo3758 which brilliance? Y'all get deceived easily ..clowns
This Hon Commissioner is sound, give it to him.
I love Rhodes-vivour, but this APC man is very articulate.
Why this apc man can’t u hear his name?
Good job to the commissioner, very knowledgeable
Kudos to LASG for enforcing building and environmental laws. Without active control of development, Lagos will become unlivable.
As in all things in Nigeria we need to get to the root of the matter . And see if due process was done from the start . Regulation and inspection is one the issues in this industry . How many buildings have collapsed in the past ?
GRV forgets to highlights other alternatives government could have deployed.
Thr commissioner is so articulate and vast
Vivour can not see the danger in this acts bcos he never think in Yoruba
Yes of course, a typical thinking of those people !
😂 he never think in yoruba
@@henrya60Not these people, we are Ibos and I will not make an apology for it because I did not choose where or what ethnic group I was born into. However, I challenge you to come and stand toe to toe anywhere in the world and debate any issue so you can defend your superiority for being a Yoruba in Nigeria state and I will wash you down to prove that you are a narrow minded local man who has no view of human world.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@bettyangel7009who be this idiaaat? Always coming with your "idiaatootic" victim mentality. Obviously the person refering to Gbarebo Shinedu's comment of "not thinking in Yoruba". But fuuool with inferiority complex must insert him/herself.
The developed countries will not allow illegal structures to be built in the first place, then collect property taxes, and later turn around to demolish those buildings. Neighborhoods that were developed by landlords without any government presence or infrastructure have faced problems with the state governments showing up decades later to enforce building rules. Did the government have any plans for those places? Does the government deliberately hide relevant building information from citizens? Why is it hard for information on all building and land issues to be easily accessible to citizens through a single office in Lagos State? Why does Lagos State not have an online site for any potential land owner to verify the legality of lands before purchase. How come the two civil servants quoted by Commissioner bought land on the right of way, if the laws were so clear? Are there modern ways to run channels that Lagos State government needs to adopt so demolition is not the only option. The government should help people empty affected buildings and provide temporary accommodation before unavoidable demolition. Government should not be found reselling any affected lands/ areas to the wealthy after reclaiming from citizens. God bless Nigeria.
Did he just say 'shit' in our Lagoon. What! I thought they said Gbadebo is educated?
I was shocked too. I thought maybe na me no hear well.
What should he said? Isn't shit or feaces an actual thing?
I caught that too 😅
You can’t complain about the problems and still complain about the solutions. We need to make up our mind whether we want to execute policies sentimentally or professionally.
It’s actually a very dull statement
I wonder!
The king and short of it is that the developer is the one that played a fast one on the people. Also the owners of those houses did not do their due diligence. When you want to buy a house you make sure the you do your search at the lands registry. The issue is most of the owners relied on the word of the developers.
Are the local authorities not the one stop illegal structures from springing up and that was how it use to be
I will say this again. Dr abatti is the only reason I watch this program, not these unintelligent, childish, and pointless journalists
God bless you. Same for me
I love u bro!
This issues aside. The commissioner has earned my respect. The fact that he came out to have a discussion and not to say do you know who i am? I respect him.
What's going on breaks my heart and i hope we find a solution for those that have suffered and have been affected.
Both guests are smart and intelligent with their responses to questions. The govt wants to curb illegality and rascality, and GRV wants a human face to govt actions.
I am in support of both views. There must be a middle ground that moderates the impact govt actions will have on the people.
I, however, want the govt to also look at its system and address its defective structure. How did these people get approval to build. People somewhere exploited the system to grant those approvals. Fish them out and punish them according to the law to act as deterrence.
They dont have approvals. You dont need approval in Lagos to build. Most houses dont have approval. I saw one for 180 Million yesterday in Ajah for sale and the approval status is still in process but house is for sale already
They don't have approval. When they're served notices to stop work, they resort to building in the night.
If anyone has approval, let them sue LASG
Stop deceiving yourself. The conversation ended that way because GRV and the Arise team could not make a compelling argument, or rather that the Commissioner defended his position well. GRV, Rufai, and Ayo came to attack. At a point, Rufai even appeared to be upset at GRV because he wanted him to make a baseless point about government buildings just to create an argument., but GRV was not willing to go there.
You are fair
GRV, I respect you enormously, please refrain from addressing Mr Wahab as "he". Use his name. Let's learn to be civil to each other.
IM PROUD OF GRV. . YOU WILL GO FAR IN THIS LIFE. BY THE GRACE OF GOD, AMEN
NA YOU GO CARRY AM GO FAR INSIDE YOUR RETROGRESSIVE REGION.
@@bankolegbolahan2521 ode! Bastard. I leave in Germany, I earn over 3500 euros a month, we will buy Lagos and South West soon,
Proud to try to be clever by half as a typical igbo he is ? That's incredible !
And will later become Anambra gov.
🤣🤣🤣 ur comment reveals how smart u are too. GRV in his area of expertise could not make one single professional point to support his assertions few days ago that property is not sitting on the canal, but now pushing human face of the process...
Wahab has spoken 👏 well..
My main question is how did government allow illegality to thrive over these long period of time?
They received approval but went beyond what was approved
This is a healthy debate, the Commissioner did well in explaining what he has done even though I dont agree with all he said but he has given a true account of himself and the govt he serves, this is indeed the beauty of democracy in action. GRV makes very valid points which the commissioner side steps, but with this conversation I am sure the commissioner and the Guber candidate gained some insights. In a GRV govt we can be sure that our Governor will argue hard for us with his appointees and not just accept their plans and reach decisions that will be in the interest of the overall benefit of the majority of law abiding lagosians
Why was Vivour allowed to repeat the same thing? This is Labour Party TV
Arise tv does not hide that...They are all Labour party supporters
Mr. Wahab is the best Commissioner in Naija
Tokunbo Wahab is very civilized and brilliant. He is doing the right things. Someone wants to build mansion in his village but thinks he has to mess up a city. NOPE
People aren’t always truthful when they cry out that they weren’t given notices before demolition only to appeal to people’s sympathy and paint the government as wicked people. It is wrong for the interviewers to neglect the efforts claimed to have been made by the commissioner.
Both Guests came prepared .
Nice one GRV. Sound presentation.
😂😂😂
😁
Tokunbo Wahab is very sound and capable...
The same reasons why politicians there in Nigeria continue to override the short sighted mindset of Nigerians; first have we brain storm to see that the government of Nigeria lack wisdom, the fact that buildings are always demolished in Nigeria shows that the government did not oversee the state well, where were the ministry of environment when people were building, this is total failure on the government, a good father will not allow the children run into fire when he can and have all authority to stop the child, no matter the aftermath approach the father is not wise period.
Thank u o
This is one of the best pieces of information I will not forget
It's quite unfortunate that in Nigeria people think Architects and Town Planners are the same. We must resist the mistake of politicizing professional issues.
In all this, I blame it on one Nigeria. I remember what Obasa, the speaker of house of assembly said after election, that they will revoke anything revocable to teach some certain tribe not to interfere in their election next time.
Majority of these properties are owned by yoruba people. Not everything is about tribal politics.
@1000kulguy what are you trying to say. Do you have property there?
Any little thing about igbo, those that they paid to be parading social media cantering any meaningful discussion will jump out.
He said what he said, and that's stamped.
Majority of the properties destroy belong to igbos not Yoruba.
@johnoguaghamba8928 Deep down, you see the problems with this your assertion that I'm paid?
It's irrational. Why would you believe that the only reason someone has another view on a matter being discussed is because he is paid.
Anyways,I'm from this axis and have more of a stake by virtue of Inheritance and properties owned there.
About the landmark beach, 75% of the properties belonging to the group legally wasn't touched. It's just those that extend beyond the land they legally acquired that was rightfully taken down for the greater good of the citizens - in this case, the Coastal highway.
Another conversation that's important is that they are several other entities that have been affected by this coastal highway and have had their properties demolished. Why is there no attention on them? Why only Landmark?
If you make your findings, you would discover that majority of they are not throwing tribal tantrums because they are all aware that they built beyond what was legally acquired and most importantly, they all knew about the coastal highway long long ago.
WHEN U SEE THE GOVT OFFICIAL WHO KNOWS HIS JOB AND BENT ON ENFORCING THE LAW FOR THE GOOD OF ALL = WAHAB.
VIVOUR, I THINK U CAN NOW SEE YOUR LEVEL? WE DO NOT WANT A GOVERNOR THAT WON'T BE ABLE TO TAKE A DECISION THAT WOULD SAFE LIVES OF MILLIONS @ DIFFICULT TIME.
How can you tell Nigerians whose houses are demolished to apply for compensation? They MUST be voluntarily compensated by the Lagos State Government no matter your references to Kenya, Brazil, Global warming and Climate Change.
How can you compensate illegality? They dont have approval to build so they can only beg for compensation on humanitarian ground
Are you saying that someone who breaks the law should be compensated?
😂😂😂, don't worry even the abokis selling beside the odo iya Alaro canal at mende will all be compensated "voluntarily" 😂😂🤣, truly not even one who can read & write is educated 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Please read your comment again.
Why collect taxes on iligality
Everybody do your job nothing concern LIRS with Environmental infractions
Thank you GRV, shame onto those on this comment section calling you IPOB, many years to come commissioner Wahab would watch this video again and regret being used. The commissioner also refused to speak on all the monies allocated time and time again for these projects. Where did the funds go to?
Watch the video again sir, he touched every question he was asked.
We need more of this position party facing each other 👍
I love the way GRV went straight to his views instead of addressing Dr. Abatti's question if his visit to Mende was political or otherwise. Truly, MIT get levels.

What are these creative ways, GRV ?
Excellent closing argument. Thank you, GRV
This is a sound man that knows what he is doing
I want to ask, can we use the building plans that our grandfathers designed in 1920? Can't you guys redesign to accommodate the present reality while still maintaining a workable drainage channels
Total lack of accountability. It's like, We are government and we can do anything we want, anytime we want.
Who has been fired for granting permits, for signing off on buildings? NONE.
"Stop dumping shits in our lagoons."
Who approved these plans for these houses to be built?
No one did, the developer built more than the specified place and number of units, you can check their plan and check what was built on Google map
Sanwo olu did the C of O, and the civil servants approved and recommended it to the Governor !
Stop running wrong narrative !
Lagos State operatives and civil servants, in charge of, are very corrupt !’
Mr Gbadebo you should go to Court and represent the the people that you pressing for whys you guys questioning the commissioner for so much questioning why the people that their property is destroyed are not there to be able to give them sides of the difference between them and the state government 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 😅
I'm proud of this commissioner, its painful but what needs to be done must be done
My house was demolished in ajah but to be sincere this man is great we can't built country on illegality
What's the address of your house that was demolished?
@bdtechnija3930 iro po, iro po
This is APC liers, you should know naa.they full the social media.
Just to mislead people with lies.
why did you build an illegal structure? can you share so we can learn because I really don't get why
The Commissioner has forgotten that those houses at Mende were sold. Not all of the units belong to Deacon Duro.
MIT in the building giving intellectual contributions. IYKYK.
This gbarebo is only after emotions not reality. Olodo
My take is a lot of these structures have made city planning very difficult for the state government. They aren't nessecarily sitting on canals or waterways per se but they could be contributing to other problems like traffic congestion, crime, and others. Lagos is largely unplanned, especially the mainland. It's a legacy problem not a recent issue. Even worse, a lot of these structures were sanctioned and approved by the government of the day at the time of construction and development. However, to evade responsibility (because Government is continuous), the Lagos government would rather deflect than admit they approved these structures. Ultimately, admitting complicity would incur some liability and damages which they don't want. Good luck finding redress in court lol. So, here we are.
That's a nice submission. Houses are not built over night, no matter fast you build government agents would have visit your site at least 3 times before completion. Without their approval the wouldn't be completed or else it would be brought down immediately, not waiting for many years or decades before making these kind of drastic decisions
Govt do visits them to stop building but they never stop. And in Governance you just don't demolish like that, a lot of reasons are factored in b4 such actions can be taken, but be rest assured that the wheel of justice may be slow, but one day it will surely grand to a HALT. This is what we are experiencing now. Dubai, Brazil & even Kenya are more prepared & equiped than us, but look at what is happening now, withing 24 hours of flooding, Kenya lost of 250 human beings, women & little children all gone, 250 lives and are still counting. Contracts have been awarded for contractors to continue with the construction of water channels but they can't move to sight bcos people have built on the water ways. We need to be guided to avoid a colossal loss of lives in Lagos, a city with about a 100 million population!.
Rufai is so childish and inexperienced. His kind of journalism can set fire to a nation!
This land man is competent Mr wahab good job
Lagos state governor is carrying out so called VC Shitta Boko Haram leader plan long ago to deal with Igbos in Lagos.

Pls is there a relocating land or house giving to them or any sort of compassion giving ?
When Pen-Cinema Bridge was built during Ambode's regime, our houses at LSDPC at Pen- Cinema were pulled down and we were given just one week to move out. It was not an easy thing at that point and we were so hurting at that time. Why is Rhodes- Vivour shouting now? I learnt around that period that he was with APC and he didn't deem it fit to make noise or fight for us then . Our LSDPC houses that were pulled down for the development of the bridge was built by the Lagos State Govt. which means there was nothing wrong with the land nor the houses, neither were those houses in the right of way of anything but those buildings were pulled down anyway and nobody fought for us, we were not even given money to go and rent another space. You guys should stop bringing Ethnicity into this. Majority of us living in the buildings pulled down at Pen -cinema were Yorubas and no TV station made noise for us then. Please stop it!
Thank u. This boy GRV is only killing his political chances more and more
I stay in Lsdoc phase 4 and was well aware of this. I don’t know why they’re using this to play ethnic card. Are they trying to say they own more lands and property’s than the Yorubas
Dont mind Arise News of Uduka Obaigbena, an ethnic champion.
Yorubas are second citizen on Arise TV
The commissioner was extremely articulate, the only place I will fault him is he did not expand on how he planned on sanitising his office of bad actors who circumvent the process in order to line their pockets. As for GRV, he did not proffer a proper/alternative solution. His answers were mainly based on sentiments. I’m glad the commissioner was able to shut down the notion that the demolition was targeted at a particular tribe.
Wahab who gave this people approval in the first place, you are not answering the question.
He is not answering the question
U that's listening and not opening your mouth.... U don't reason because it's this same government that has been collecting the money from the building that is beyond approval confused set of people@@itumo2645
He answered, they built beyond the approval.
He answered now
This is the reason why they necessitated ielts for us . He simply responded that most developers build more than the approved units
The commissioner is a talker. Some are very talented so dont get deceived by his articulated and calculated speeches. Fashola is one of such when he was to be appointed as minister of works and power. Today na darkness we dey. El rufai is one. We shall come back here in 5yrs with same project abandoned and lagos been flooded. This is Nigeria
Hon Commissioner 👏 👏
Arise is not asking who gave the approval of the construction in the first place
27:51
@@denentaIt wasn't asked there... Rewatch it. It needs to be asked explicitly who gave the approval? That was never asked
My brother, many houses are built in Lagos and Nigeria without planning, approval, and inspection. Most of these houses built ignorantly because the land seller knew the story of the land and refused to let the buyers know.
It's beyond just getting approval. If it says on your approval that you should give a setback of 9m to the road but instead the developer leaves only 3m, the govt will be right to demolish the part that overshoots the approved limit.
The approval becomes void if you contravene any part of it. Get educated please.
@@Tellthetruth-qo6uu we know that ,but still that doesn't prevent the question from being asked. Let the question be asked and let the commissioner give his answer instead of us assuming.

Nobody cares about your poultry change 😒
You have never spent a night in Lagos but you have so much to say . Nah for TV and internet you dey see Lagos

You have all spoken well but please let my quarter plot be safe😅
Go and sin no more 😁
Fashola and Ambode government needs to come and say their own, and what their government has done to protect the environment and all this canal-water channeling. And who's in charge of approvals of government land?
Who are the main owners of the home in the affected areas? Who approved the land for the owners l don't see any consequences of the developers and who sold the land.
The buyer should go to court to sue the developers, not the government.
Is it better to rehouse the residents first before demolishing the homes of people.
Removing illegal structures on water channels, drainages, NNPC pipeline routes, NEPA high tension wire routes, airport safety routes is NOT an ethnic issue. It is for the safety and security of all.
How GRV went straight into talking about the issues and ignoring Abati question was all i needed to see. GRV is a great guy.
That shows you he's a mumu. That was opportunity to clear the air that he was doing it for humanity. Thank God Abati asked him again. Na reason why you and people that applauded your message dey fail WAEC - talking about what you were not asked.

How many commissioners in Oyo State are articulate like Wahab.

Demolition alone doesn't stop flooding. Flooding is majorly reduced when drainage channels are frequently MAINTAINED. Since 1999, the best govt that maintained drainage channels most was that of BRF. The offshot of what I am saying is also very much related to the quality of WASTE & REFUSE MANAGEMENT in the state. Drainages should experience desilting and removal of debris and refuse that would normally block it. The job of proper and efficient Monitoring, maintenance of drainage channels is best achieved when each LG (is adequately mobilized with funds & equipment) can carry it out. It's a day to day routine activity not a one-off. The huge effect of flooding in Lagos is mainly man-made because of how poor the quality of our WASTE & REFUSE MANAGEMENT system is. On the issue of demolition of so-called ILLEGAL structures, Lagos state is forming that they are awake now and not sleeping anymore. Please they should please stay awake. A working govt through its monitoring & surveillance systems will stop any illegal development or encroachment at the initial stage not when its full blown.
You know when you haven't got properties you can stay in the comfort of your room and say whatever you want. Just assume yourself on the receiving end of this mende destruction and imagine what your response would have been here. Truth is sacred, GRV thank you for standing up for the truth no matter the gbas gbos....see more
GRV did not stand for the truth but for maybe adding human face to the process. you cant reward illegality. So check properly before buying property in Lagos
Fool when is uk now you guys will be following there law but Nigeria now you guys are complaining because they are doing the right thing hypocrites
Many of the people commenting rubbish or seen to be praising wahah.Many of them have never lay a foundation or mud block in their entire life.
What I noticed is poor people are always happy when someone is passing through pain or distress
@@josephurueyo.4432 the law is a respecter of nobody the abroad you people used to say is better they follow the law both rich and poor no to hypocrites
@@josephurueyo.4432oooh no you are wrong, rather those supporting Wahab are those who are knowledgeable in stuffs like this, they are not only Brilliant but are well informed to know the inherent dangers of environmental infractions of this nature. They are well informed, educated and well grounded individuals/ environmentalists who understands that you can not mitigate against impending dangers of building on water ways/ drainage channels by operating on sentiments. It's better for some few houses to go than for a whole city to be submerged by water. Lagos is a coastal city, already over populated, so concerted efforts must be made to prevent flooding that would claim millions of lives, houses & other properties and this can not be achieved when you operates on sentiments. This is why you see those with intellect supporting Wahab, it has nothing to do with being poor or rich. You need to get out of that Fixed mindset, it doesn't apply here, not on issues like this.
More powers to your elbow 💪 Honorable Commissioner. Nothing good and lasting comes easy....i just hope Lagosians get used to doing things the proper way to avoid repercussions
The commissioner didn't address the part about why these building contraventions were allowed to go on in the first place...
He said so, approval was given for a particular size of land beacon, the developer extended it and that's how it used to be as the case of chief osibona that was given approval for 8 storey building and he went on constructing 21 storey...
I think you need to go back and listen to the video line by line and if you don't understand English ask someone to interpret to you. Even the Blind could see that the Honourable Commissioner really tutored Rufai, Abati, the lady & even GRV himself who claimed to be an Architect but can't give any constructive alternative to what he believe can be done.
I wish a question had been put to the commissioner about Lagos government's culpability
I think those who have contravened the system should be made to bear the cost of the corrective measures being embarked upon by LASG...
it is always beautiful to utter such statement when the situation is not in your court. You never know, life could be interesting and maybe pretty interesting to you very fast. You must learn to be emphathetic especially in a public plat
form such as this
One would have expected that GRV would mention just one of the alternative options opened to the government in the absence of demolition. But unfortunately not.
In contra-distinction, the Hon Commissioner stated the facts, highlighting with figures, statistics and history.
Well, what is the government gonna do with Eko Atlantic which block and constrict the mouth of the lagoon? Aren’t it causing most of floods in Lagos? 😂
Gbadebo is just responding as if he's not listening to the commissioner's comment 😀😀😀
What legacy?
Wahab is sound. Always ready to give a comprehensive account of things.
What I don’t understand is why investment in Nigeria should be based on who is in the government. What and where is the original master plan for these areas? This is very scary from an investment point of view if one builds and another tears down. This Tokunbo man is very intelligent but to say he doesn’t care for party, religion or tribe is total fallacy. He is so passionate about saving Lagos, where has he been all these time, why didn’t he engage in grassroots efforts to raise awareness about all the potential problems. Tinubu is empowering their audacity just like Buhari empowered the audacity of the fulanis and so it goes in Nigeria.
Well done Hon Commissioner
Is the people-centred approach one that will jettison the plan that has been on ground from the 80s? Must the plan to keep the generality of Lagos be sacrificed for a few because of emotions? .Did any occupiers of those land have CO from Lagos State? I doubt it?
If they have they can sue for compensations. But I doubt if Lagos State any CO for that axis.
My take is, those developers that has permission to to build 28 units and ended up building 38 units should be arrested and fined to serve as example for others to learn
Also the government should make the developers pay back the money of the common man that those extended unit were sold to. The common innocent citizens should not be make to suffer.
I have a lady in my house who was not giving compensation after her house was demolished or, is d compensation for only those that erected buildings?
I meant she was displaced at Jakande.
Not all compensation applications will be approved. Let her apply and try to do the right thing.
