I have had my house demolished by the Lagos State Government in 2021 on the Island.

How to avoid property loss or demolition in Lagos State

During this time, I made several attempts using major state actors to wave it but failed. The reasons given for the demolition was justified.

I do not completely blame the government for these demolitions even if a continued awareness on the procedure for acquiring land in Lagos would go a long way in reducing encroachment on government acquisition or committed lands.

I also disagree that these demolitions are targeted at any tribe. Government does not profile those tribes occupying properties built on committed lands(See how the state Goverment demolished a property belonging to Sir Olu Okeowo in Parkview Estate, Ikoyi despite his fame as a prominent yoruba man and accompanying wealth)

How to avoid loosing one's property in Lagos from my experience.

A lot of us are quick to pay for land because of the presence of buildings around the place and assurances from Omo Onile at the expense of due diligence with the State's land Bureau.

The first fact that can be established is that the state will never demolish any land that has not been acquired, committed by law or by State planning parameters(this includes areas not committed but naturally reserved as right of way, set back or intended for specific government infrastructure. ( Those accusing the government of using the demolitions to target a particular tribe should research how Afolabi Ege modern market around Ojo- Abule Ado axis was leveled for the construction of road and hospitals in Iyanaba, circa 2021/2022.

Most lands usually affected by demolitions must have violated any of the above conditions.

The first steps before buying any land in Lagos are as follows:

1. Verify and validate that the selling family, community or person has authority to sell and has enjoyed ownership of the said land without any encumbrance.

You can do this by simply asking from the community members or King/ Baale if the seller is known to have rights over the portion he is selling.

2. Request for all documents pertaining to the said land. These among others may include, excision, C of O, Governor's consent, registered or provisional survey, receipts ,deeds of assignments or agreements court judgment or gazzete that shows the general area status and proofs that the seller has right to sell the land.

3. Please note that step two would avail you with information to establish the status of the area. It is important to add that all the lands in Lagos have been triangulated into one single plan showing different areas and their titles or status. You can check this map at New Towns Development Authority( NTDA ) office in Ikeja or the lands Bureau.

4. Take any of the documents or titles obtained through the seller to the lands Bureau or NTDA for verification. Don't outsource this task to someone you can't trust or an agent who has material interest if the land purchase deal goes through.
The land bureau or NTDA will use the coordinates obtained from the survey particularly to provide information on the area and all information about the land you are buying and the area incase it has government interest or free for residential or mixed uses.

Depending upon the outcome of the findings, a free or good land would bear excision, C of O, Governor's consent ,gazzete free hold etcetera; in other words, free from government acquisition.

Those not free or good would bear government acquisition or government acquisition and committed. Other reasons may be stated but these are the two popular quotes for a land not free or with some government interests.
It is important to add that lands under government acquisition but not committed are sometimes ratified by government and given back to the community who bears claims to them.
This can be confirmed using the Lekki Revocation Gazzete no 26 of 13/05/1993 which revoked most lands at Lekki but were ...

Governor Alex Otti's decision to purchase Toyota Hilux for Security Personnel in Abia instead of supporting indigenous automobile company, Innoson Motors is bad and must be condemned by all and sundry.

By choosing to purchase vehicles from a foreign company, Governor Otti missed an opportunity to promote and support the growth of the domestic automobile industry.

Innoson Motors, as an indigenous company, has been striving to compete on a global scale and contribute to Nigeria's economic development. The governor's decision undermines these efforts.

Supporting local businesses is crucial for economic growth and job creation and by favoring foreign vehicles over locally manufactured ones, Governor Otti indirectly contributes to capital flight, as money is spent outside the country instead of circulating within the local economy. This can have adverse effects on employment and overall economic development.

@alexottiofr must apologize to @innosonvehicles and Nigerians.

The donkey told the tiger, "The grass is blue."

The tiger replied, "No, the grass is green​."

The discussion became heated, and the two decided to submit the issue to arbitration, so they approached the lion.

As they approached the lion on his throne, the donkey started screaming: ′′Your Highness, isn't it true that the grass is blue?"​

The lion replied: "If you believe it is true, the grass is blue."​

The donkey rushed forward and continued: ′′The tiger disagrees with me, contradicts me, and annoys me. Please punish him."

The king then declared: ′′The tiger will be punished with 3 days of silence."​

The donkey jumped with joy and went on his way, content and repeating ′′The grass is blue, the grass is blue..."​

The tiger asked the lion, "Your Majesty, why have you punished me, after all, the grass is green?"​

The lion replied, ′′You've known and seen the grass is green."

The tiger asked, ′′So why do you punish me?"​

The lion replied, "That has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green. The punishment is because it is degrading for a brave, intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with an ass, and on top of that, you came and bothered me with that question just to validate something you already knew was true!"

The biggest waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who doesn't care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions.

Never waste time on discussions that make no sense. There are people who, for all the evidence presented to them, do not have the ability to understand.

Others are blinded by ego, hatred, and resentment, and the only thing that they want is to be right even if they aren’t.

When IGNORANCE SCREAMS, intelligence moves on.

Dear Chibuzor,

Thank you for your feedback. Actually, this story is false, and I appeal to you and others like you to stop telling these lies to your children, which is what perpetuates the hatred for Nigeria that a lot of people have.

As minister of finance, Chief Awolowo's ministry paid £20 only to those former Biafrans whose account records were lost, and to those who held their bank balances in Biafran Pounds.
Since they could not prove how much they had in their accounts, they got a blanket £20. That money was a gift from Nigeria. Those former Biafrans who could prove their account balances received all their monies.

The late Senator Arthur Nzeribe is an example of an Igbo who could prove his account balances. All former Biafrans who had accounts in banks outside the Eastern Region got access to all their funds after the war. The late Chief Alex Ekwueme is an example of this.

In every part of NIgeria, Igbos got their abandoned property back, except in Rivers, where their own fellow Igbo speaking peoples, who somehow say they are not Igbos, seized their property.

Also, there were cases of seized abandoned property in modern day Benue. But it did not happen elsewhere.

Chief Alex Ekwueme is again an example of this. Although he was not really friends, per se, with the recently departed Otunba Subomi Balogun, they lived close to each other. Just before the outbreak of the civil war, Alex Ekwueme left Lagos for the Eastern Region, like most prudent Igbos.

After the war, he returned to Lagos and, surprisingly, met his house in a renovated condition. While he was wondering what happened, his neighbour, Mr. Subomi Balogun, approached him and gave him his back rent in cash.

Chief Ekwueme's children are still alive and can attest to this.

Put yourself in Awolowo’s shoes. Many of the banks in the then Eastern Region had been destroyed. The accounts were in Biafran pounds. Records were lost. And even the banks deliberately destroyed records for fear of being punished for holding Biafran currencies, which had been declared a crime of economic sabotage against Nigeria by General Gowon's government.

Furthermore, after the war, Awolowo paid the Eastern states all their monies from the Federation Account from 1967-1970. He invested it and returned it to them, for which he was acknowledged by SG Ikoku, the Commissioner for Economic Development in East Central State, in the Daily Times of May 22, 1971.

Every family in former Biafra owes a debt of gratitude to the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo. But sadly, many parents who should have taught their children this documented history have instead filled them with hatred by regaling them with wartime propaganda.

These records are still available. Why do you still fail to read your history and feed yourself on bile from bitter people who do not rely on facts?

This is 2023. Please let us rely on facts, not gossip.

At Ladipo auto parts market in Mushin, the traders’ union leadership is rotated among Igbo people only from 3 of the five S’East states: Anambra, Imo and Abia.
If you are from Enugu or Ebonyi, the traders’ union constitution prohibits you from becoming the president.
