[@fotomatanda1505]

Very silly decision on the part of government

[@THETRAVELOGIST1]

I disagree with the decision no Matter what the situation and there were more ways to resolve this than to destroy it but the question is are they even ready for the roads they are talking of or just to destroy someone's business. I love the founder's positive energy and his believe that he will bounce back.How can Africans invest in their own country if their investments won't be safe.Whoever took this decision will never have good sleep 😭

Wode, you better know the facts before you start to post rubbish. He neer owned the beach. His building is still standing there. Don't fall for the victimhood crying and wailing lies. The road will be more beneficial to more Nigerians than the beach. Also, he's not the only one in the area that had their beach from taken away.

[@Shoki2037]

Yes, the govt did exactly what needed to be done. You fell for the lies and propaganda. Do your research before posting such rubbish trash in the future. Landmark is still standing, what the govt took away is the beach that he never owned. Is that too hard to understand? Also, what about the other businesses along that area doing the same businesses? Victimhood saleslave mentality has killed this man's business. he's crying wolf for nothing. Majority of Nigerians ar happy about the project except for a few from certain area.

This is sad and it's really sad he lost all his investments. However the thing is how do we know what really happened at the very beginning? Normally, government land and planned high ways are clearly documented years and even decades ahead? How did he miss this in his due dilligence ? Or did the civil servants at the lands commission lie to him? Or did the owner pay bribes to acquire the land and building permit, etc. knowing full well it is government land ? In Nigeria and my native Ghana, there's too much indiscipline and many disregard the rules because they can. So until I know the full facts I won't apportion blame. . If he built the resort without due dilligence or after paying bribe, then we can't blame the government for enforcing the law. However those civil servants who granted him building permits, etc under those circumstances need to be brought to account too. Until we start enforcing the rule of law in Africa and people are held to account, nothing will change

The minister of works' boss, the president, is the actual beast. A white substance dealer by the way. He forfeited over $400k in Chicago in the 90s to the authorities. The construction company handling that project is owned by his Lebanese money launderer. The president's son was recently made a member of board of one of the sister companies to the construction company. That road project that resort was demolished for is being funded illegally to the tune of a wild amount for just a short distance of it. The project didn't go through due process before the president's buddy's construction company mobilised to site. That road project could have been started from the other end to give the business ample time to wind down, but the artificial island project the Lebanese money launderer owns needs to expand, therefore that resort needs to go.

The minister of works' boss, the president, is the actual beast. A white substance dealer by the way. He forfeited over $400k in Chicago in the 90s to the authorities. The construction company handling that project is owned by his Lebanese money launderer. The president's son was recently made a member of board of one of the sister companies to the construction company. That road project that resort was demolished for is being funded illegally to the tune of a wild amount for just a short distance of it. The project didn't go through due process before the president's buddy's construction company mobilised to site. That road project could have been started from the other end to give the business ample time to wind down, but the artificial island project the Lebanese money launderer owns needs to expand, therefore that resort needs to go.

By law, federal government pays compensation for physical buildings, (not just shanties, or fences with bamboos) but they paid all the same to accommodate all interests. 3. When federal officials met him twice, to provide official documents how he got beach land, he didn't have it. He allegedly bought the beach land from a royal family, not the regular state or federal officials. They just left all that alone because it would become a distraction. 4. There were 4 other beach businesses, royal families that lost miles of land, communities cut in half or may have to resettle in a new area.

That's why we don't grow, we are our own enemies. Heartless puppets we have in Africa. Look at Congo people suffering while the African Puppets leaders are moping, not doing anything to save their brothers. Tribalism nonsense is holding us back.

[@ucukaoma4551]

This VISIONARY African and Nigerian has aged before our very eyes 😢. As a Nigerian who has been in 🇺🇸 since 1983 and understands what it takes to earn a dollar abroad, I feel for this our brother. I really do feel for Landmark and all the employees... This man left his family overseas to establish this resort in Nigeria. And this is how to repay him? This singular destruction is more than the destruction of a resort. It would reverberate for decades to come....longer than most of us are on this planet. And he still believes in Nigeria? I respect this man more today and would like to invest with him.

[@TuBez294]

Yes!! The vision is beyond the wickedness that caused this to happen.

[@guyowanlele4903]

Pure wickedness. Paul Onwuanibe should shut down all activities in Lagos till Landmark is fully compensated. Meanwhile, sign an agreement with Akwa Ibom for a big chunk of Ibeno beach and a sort of exclusivity on Cashew Beach. Then build bigger and better, they will come.

[@kofig5519]

Well that is another level Maya, the story won't always be rosy. But I am happy the owner said "we will be back in 12 months" 👌❤️💖. That for me should keep us going. Get up and get going. Don't stay on the ground when you fall.

​​@@bolajibentai9173Stop spreading falsehood. The original plan did not go through land mark It was this February that the govt decided to take it through the landmark Axis for reasons best known to them.which i strongly believe is a calculated plan to strangulate the Igbos and their investments. Such thing also happened in Abuja where wike disobeyed court injunctions to destroy properties worth millions of dollars belonging to an Igbo man.Why always Igbos? I strongly believe that if the owner was a Yoruba,the story would have been different.Too bad.

[@LuminousSolitude]

The president of the country is the actual beast. A white substance dealer by the way. He forfeited over $400k in Chicago in the 90s to the authorities. The construction company handling that project is owned by his Lebanese money launderer. The president's son was recently made a member of board of one of the sister companies to the construction company. That road project that resort was demolished for is being funded illegally to the tune of a wild amount for just a short distance of it. The project didn't go through due process before the president's buddy's construction company mobilised to site. That road project could have been started from the other end to give the business ample time to wind down, but the artificial island project the Lebanese money launderer owns needs to expand, therefore that resort needs to go.

[@IkeNdubuka-ic7ji]

Thank you Wode Maya for this coverage, the hatred against Igbos is too alarming, multimillion dollars Igbo properties are still being destroyed in Abuja. Most companies are finding Nigeria unsafe for investments and are leaving the country to more conducive place. The hatred and jealousy against a particular tribe in Nigerian is depriving growth of the country, Leadership that produces greedy and tribal bigots with no visionary senses. The same people that ordered for the destruction of Landmark Beach would travel overseas for holiday with their family to enjoy similar things they ordered for its destructions in their home country. Besides, same leaders would be yearning for foreign investors to come and invest in Nigeria, never value their own.

[@AmaAjo-om5lc]

The people of Nigeria should be protesting this job for their future generations,but instead they prefer to destroy what they have, and move to another country

[@kinguche9208]

The man is an Igbo. Igbos are not given good opportunities in nigeria and they doing great in nigeria economy. They’re good business people who are hated by nigeria government because of war they fought with nigeria in 1966-1970. Thry profit nigeria government, British government, America and Russia at same time. France supported but it’s all war for oil in the oil part. They fought 3 years and they before they later join back to Nigeria. So any success they try to achieve are destroyed by nigeria government

[@okiemute7744]

A huge part of the business is still standing there. You can say the structures close to the beach were destroyed to pave way for the Lagos Calabar road which started few months ago but by Nigerian law, anything 250 meter around the beach belongs to the Government and Government was eventually going to make use of what belongs to them. Many businesses along that line were affected as well but compensated. Landmark happened to be the loudest on social media.

[@mrdorobucci6292]

@@okiemute7744 it was loudest because it was biggest, other business was a pawn! Landmark was targeted. Why they sold land to him for almost 20M. To only destroy it later? Why not use the original construction plan that wouldn’t affect him. Did you saw the map and see this could be avoided ? They are actually wasting huge fund by using that areas for the construction. You are saying he is loud shows how wicked you are with the government. Can’t you see how this hurt everyone to think of the owner. Deep down in your heart you are happy because it’s done to Igbo man, wicked and envious soul.

I'm an African American currently living in Nigeria with my husband. I first went to Landmark in 2022 & then again 2023. It really was one of the best tourist destinations in W. Africa, and I absolutely loved the number of locals that were employed. Hearing & seeing this demolished really hurt. As an American I don't fully understand the tribalism or how the government works, but here on the ground in Nigeria I feel sick & confused. I came to Nigeria ready to invest USD and create job opportunities as well, but I just can't bring myself to do it at this time, especially after seeing this & then seeing the government decide not to move forward with the road project in this area anyway. So, these businesses, jobs & contracts were lost for nothing. This guy is in such great spirits. Africa needs to do better, Nigeria needs to do better.
