We are to face reality, that place can't be left in that state forever... This scenario happens everywhere in the world, it's the price of development.

[@Joseph-s3o3o]

No reasonable government would allow that kind of environment to stay.

[@adeoguntolasolanke-oguntol5108]

To be poor is a very serious crime in Nigeria.

[@fatfarmers7360]

Yes, poverty is evil. Infact poverty is attributed to witchcraft.

[@taharka3897]

People are poor everywhere in the world. Nigeria is not special.

[@ademigbujiadewale]

We need to hear the government side of the story too. None of those that spoke claimed to be indigenous to the place.

[@kilimanjaromedia7091]

They are Yoruba, so they are indigenous to Lagos, a Yoruba state. The government should have relocated them before demolishing their structures. Yes, they may be there illegally, but government also has a responsibility to the people.

[@adeoguntolasolanke-oguntol5108]

Indigenous? Hmmmm! You need to look in the mirror.

[@idiaidia6082]

The government must always show empathy, this is just amplifying misery

[@manmandlo7543]

In all Africa we have evil politicien increasing misery why ? Why dont build social compound to protect peaople and not considère them as animals to chased ? What is it in sich à rich country ?

[@shinaajiboye2929]

Many indigenous people are residing in the environment, go to Ibeju Lekki, infact many local communities existing b4 nigeria independence hv bn driven out of their ancestry homes. APC GOVERNMENT NDS TO BE REPLACED IN LAGOS

[@babssloans7945]

Better housing g for the vulnerable, housing before demolition. Totally unacceptable, mothers with babies, Unbelievable Unbelievable

[@michaelukoha6336]

Apc members and Una want donation, y'all must be joking 😂

[@gcsdnhumanrights-charityor5375]

Rendering Yorubas homeless in Yoruba nation? Where is their Sunday Igboho? Sell out

[@joyceadenekan5672]

Is it Yoruba Nation ruling?

[@FeliciaOkoro-wm9tf]

When Lagos govt demolishes Igbo properties, it is always duplexes and apartment buildings. When they demolish Yoruba property, it is always slums and shanties. Why?!

[@aayohfaran8116]

What is wrong with you? This is not the time and place for idiotic comments

[@IsiakaWasiualabi-go3mh]

Obingos complain about everything

[@opeyemiburaimoh4725]

Lagos is not for the poor it is a mega city. They should relocate to other states.There is land for agriculture all over Nigeria instead of touting in Lagos.

[@FERESE]

The houses that was demolished in Maryland and Ikota VGC were not igbos but all tribes but only Igbos chanted witch hunts. Lagos state did the same to Alaba Rago but only Alaba international Igbo were wailing as if Mike 12 and other markets were not affected. Note, they were all given notice for over a year. You build duplexes without the brain to get the right approval from Lagos state government. All the guys from abule ado couldn't even deny the fact that their papers were not complete. Many with millions without brains to know it's a canal and water ways. Some of the residents said they used their money to buy greedy officials. Perhaps they should have investigated the source of the millions. Hmmmmmm

[@taharka3897]

​@@opeyemiburaimoh4725very good points

[@FrancisFakeye-rc5gr]

So pathetic.
