Landmark Beach Demolition - Paul Onwuanibe's Uphill Battle | Ownahomeng TV | Feel at Home

[@oluseyibabalolainhisstrength]

I don't think the government will destroy an infrastructure as big as this. I pray the President will look into it and avert this economic loss.

[@thegenzcompass2526]

This so called President came to steal, kill and destroy and that is what he is doing. How ignorant can you be? That Drug Lord you call a president? He's not the president, he's a thief and a scoundrel. Peter Obi won the 2023 presidential election. There are no ifs, buts or ands.

They want to demolish something that is already attractive to tuarism & beneficial to the local economy for a railway road. can't they divert or find a way for both to exist...As an expat, the land mark is amazing, a few more projects like this will make nigeria a one of the top destinations in africa.

As a non-Nigerian who lived in Lagos for almost 14 years, I can say Landmark Beach Resort is one of the few efficient and lovely tourist havens along the coast of Nigeria. It took vision and courage to develop this integrated beach and it would be a great pity to see it die off because of the construction of the Lagos-Calabar beach road. I think the authorities owe it to Lagos to make sure it survives and thrives.

[@diddywesttv7048]

But seriously, destroying that beach would be an act of wickedness to both the owner of the facility and the public. They could divert the road

[@akinstawo6488]

They should help him to find alternative route. Push the road a bit on the lagoon.

[@prolificlife1710]

It makes no economical sense to destroy that infrastructure. The lagos government should encourage more investments such as this.

[@adesina6695]

As a Lagosian and a yoruba indegene who has visited Landmark several times can attest to the fact tgat it is one of the most laudable tourist investment initiatives in Lagos. Lagos State govt must be one of the clueless and insane govts if this news on demolition is true and allowed to go ahead. So Lagos govt has decided to shun agberos, danfo's without road worthiness, the Rowdy CMS district and never ending traffic situation across the metropolis. I have never met the owners of Landnark nor do i have any affiliation to them. Buf God will punish the wicked power drunk officials responsible for this agenda.

Landmark should focus on negotiating and not resorting to blackmail through the media.

[@aframaco9491]

Why are these petty KZbinrs flogging this issue??? A coastal road doesn't mean the road has to go exactly along the sea front! Landmark Place would remain exactly where it is!

The government should compensate him. However I don’t agree investors would stop coming or the state and country won’t develop. Remember the military government took Banana island from the original developer, and the state has grown much more since the 70’s.

[@ownahometv]

Hmnn interesting perspective

[@Feroxx65]

As I look at the map of the proposed coastal road, its unnecessary to hit the road along landmark vicinity in fact it is the best when the road should be heading not too close to the beach and therefore its should be pursued at the back of landmark snd no need to demolish it. Land mark is only the decent place in Lagos.

[@chuks2881]

The man should not be blamed for going to CNN. Apparently, he has met brickwalls in his attempt to negotiate with government. This was how OBJ seized $20m belonging to Mike Adenuga, simply because he wired payment from a New York bank at 5pm New York vs 11pm Lagos time, on the last day allotted for payments. Mike Adenuga had his oil business to fall back om and bid his time. That is not the case for everyone. If Paul Onwuibe was an APC stalwart or Yoruba, you can be sure the matter would be resolved in his favor. If on doubt, ask Ganduje.😮

[@oscarlagoke8920]

IF HE BUILT IT IN ROAD RIGHT OF WAY ..THEY SHOULD DEMOLISH IT ..COASTAL HIGHWAY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN HOLIDAY AND TOURISM RESORT

[@move2227]

All totally absurd. There's no way a major highway will be built that close to the beachfront. Places like South Beach, FL have kept the main highways away from the beachfront. Firstly, this coastal highway thing is a vanity project that will never be fulfilled. The cost is prohibitive. The price they're advertising is rubbish. To build something like that will cost a minimum of $6 billion. The environmental damage that will be sustained based on the present plans will be protested by all major organizations. There's too much natural mangrove and other rich resources to be preserved. These idiots need to fix and widen the existing highway to Benin and make the necessary extensions. Lagos needs more facilities like Landmark to kickstart it's enormous hospitality potential.

[@jidebolarinwa697]

That landmark was never a beach, eko atlantic is already sand-filling the beach at the front of land mark. if you look closely, you will notice eko atlantic getting closer and closer.

[@samuelbrownsonmfon9204]

Only 1/7th of the beach front has been covered, the remaining part that is yet to be covered can still cater for over 12, 000 people that work there.

[@beatricerotibi8564]

Tough one! The government does have the right of eminent domain and so this is always a risk. However if the government plans to build a road that will impact millions might make more economic sense in the long run. As long as he is appropriately compensated and everything is done transparently then I’m fine with it

[@ted.n9609]

This is the worst business publicity for foreign investment to Nigera. Now the Lagos Authority for the First time wiil have to deal with a sophisticated business Entity with world -wide connections, that Could use International publicity to destroy the potential of attracting any investment to Nigeria. No professional well run businesses or Foreign investment wiil do business in a Country that has no rule of Law or reliable juduciary system.

Compensation may bring immediate joy to Landmark but will happen to; 1. The single mother working on the beach to cater for her children. 2. Will it create another job for the 12, 000 people? Or add them to the 10m unemployment youths 3. The undergraduates who survive from the beach and may not be able to get another employment due to their educational status. The young boy and girls whose families depend on them. Parents who get their source of livelihood from the beach. The contractors that work with landmark. Investors who are expecting dividends. Will it pay back the Loans that landmark has taken to beautify the space.
