Billionaire businessman and Africa's richest man, Aliko Dangote in
company of the Lagos state Governor, Babatunde Fashola was at the
Ibeju-Lekki axis of Lagos yesterday Sunday Feb. 9th to woo the inhabitants of the
community to give up their lands which is expected to be
used to develop Dangote's proposed Refinery and Petrochemical Project,
which is one of the Lagos Free Trade Zone Projects.
According to Sahara Reporters, cars and cash gifts were used to lure
the people which they refused but was accepted by their village heads. Last week the state government had tried using the police and other security agencies to evict the people from the land which they resisted. See more photos after the cut...

ReplyDeleteFashola na sharp guy, well.it will obviously bring more developments to lagos, Job provisions and all
DeleteNollywood actress seduces fan.....
Dangote should leave Lagos alone and go and develop his northern states, is he scared of Boko Haram, lekki is an island does he intend to cause pollution in Lagos. See what they did to d Niger delta, Fashola should think about the environment first
DeleteDat chinko man sponsored d car giving. FSL is smiling gayish
DeleteNice one Dangote... People like you we need in this country.
ReplyDeleteCerystal B please go n read ur history books well. Nothing nice abt this move; how will cars n cash ensure dat dey cn eat 2mao? Or that d future of their generation is secure? Cn d money pay tuition all d way to Uni? N still feed d family? Cn it pay their rent? Let us nt even mention clothing; cn it foot medical bills? Very wrong move in my opinion n in d opinion of history. Bt we never learn. I knw Dangote is a good man. But he is 1st a businessman then a philanthropist. I advice d indigenes to draw up a map of wat that refinery will give bck to d community (schools, hospitals, scholarships etc) n so on b4 dey release any land. Dey shud get good lawyers o.
DeleteThe masses r strongwilled, bt the village heads AGAIN. Same morons dat sold us into slavery.
AJ u just said my mind. U r vry correct. Wish we ve more sensible youths around wit brilliant tot, but painfully der isn't.
Deleteand let me ask u, how will all these u mentioned be a garantee that their tution, house rent, feeding clothing, etc be assured? Do u even know if some of them owe more than the potion they acquire?. Dangote did well by paying them back and at same time, creating job for the jobless and who know he may even consider these ones he took their land first when employing.
Delete@AJ, Then ask urself if that land provides all these as it lies there. Don't u think that same project will provide jobs tomorrow? U need to reason less from ur anus and try using ur brain!
DeleteAJ,I got my eyes on you.your comments are quite intelligent.the village heads ruined Niger deltans alongside the very greedy militants.so if anyone knows anyone that can advise the ibeju lekki indigenes,tell them to take AJ's advise.
DeleteThe cars are liabilities.the cash will run out so fast they won't believe it.
Dangote should have an mou with all relevant parties.detailing xyz.signed and sealed.
A word is enough for you guys.
AJ,who are you?
Best comment.
DeleteThat's money speaking, but its actually not fair, there are a lot of virgin land in nigaria and Lagos where he can build his refinery

A more appropriate title would have been "Fashola falls for Dangote" Look at Fashola's eyes looking into Dangotes. This is what big money does.

ReplyDeleteAll dis village heads sef.......haba.....
Richard say so.
Money speaks.
ReplyDeleteI admire Dangote's dangling of carrot approach,unlike Fashola,who likes to wheel the big stick at the least provocation.
ReplyDeleteWhere are the owners of Lagos ( the Ibos) Why is no one wooing you with cars & cash. Are u that busy selling fake spare parts? Leave that unprofitable business alone & concentrate on your investment ( lagos). Awon Ole. They want to claim Lgos.
ReplyDeleteOde, collecting cash n cars worth what actually? Soon u n ur folks will be parading around 9ja lyk Niger ppl wit no destination.
DeleteStupid fool,selling your birthright for a mere pot of porridge.If this were to be in Igboland,Dangote will have no option than to make the natives stakeholders in the. Venture,instead of them jumping at car offers that will soon go out of model.
DeleteGood point! And that is why no one but the ibos are investing in iboland. You godforsaken biafrans.
DeleteLook at wat internet is making us see on daily basis, morons spewing rubbish from deir illiterate minds. Car and cash reach any of una papa? Is dangote ibo or yoruba? Is he not first a nigerian b4 his tribe? Do u know how many other states in nigeria gets investmenst on daily basis? Bcoz u see dis one for lib una cme dey wash una illiterate minds for public make we know say na una dey carry last for skool. Mtshewww
DeleteThe alarming rate of yoruba hatred for the Ibos is appalling! Did the ibos kill your ancestors yoruba people? Gush! You sons and daughters of oduduwa are filled with envy,jealousy and inferiority complex! Infact envy is a culture in your land! Why dont you lot demand your own free state and shut your door to the rest of the world! I thought y'all are enlightened then you shoulda known that any highly developed nation has immigrants as their bedrock! Go ask America. I wonder why the ibos are your worst nightmares that you lots cant just live,breath and eat without having to call them out.
DeleteYou bloody hypocritical yoruba thing! How much greedy can you lot get? I thought greed is the exclusive right of the ibos as you bitter souls always tend to paint it! How come your local chiefs are collecting bribe to sell out their people whom they are supposed to protect! I bet if this where to be ibo chiefs this blog woulda been buzzing with your bitter and biased comments. Always panting and all out intimidated with anything that has to do with ibos! Just like you moron calling them out now! Yes the sell spare parts atleast that's an honest living than selling your peoples birthright over a cheap car!
DeletePls lekki, ajah areas are residential areas, don't come and pollute it for us.
ReplyDeleteomg this man wan buy the whole nigeria hahahaa money is really talking look at their elders faces smiling as he woo dem with billions of naira smh

Let dem read isaiah 3:10 and read verse 11 also, dem go see wetin God talk concerning d wicked!
ReplyDeleteOppressors
ReplyDeletebusiness man, at least the indigenes would also get jobs
ReplyDeleteBeginning of trouble for dese pple! D govt wanted to evict pple from d land! Na wa oh, cnt believe Fashola is involved in dis too
ReplyDeleteCars and cash were given to the villagers and they refuse...humm.......I. Wonder what they want again, they better reconsider the offer becuase with or without there approveal the land must be use and also it will be for their own development...
ReplyDeleteIf you are rich you can get away with murder. Dangote and the Federal government should work a thorough compensation package for the villagers abeg! How many years will a car last? Car no be capital, na liability.
ReplyDeleteYes my man acquire their land and enslave them,born to rule but they still don't want to believe.god put us above them
ReplyDeleteHmmmm God be the voice to the voiceless. The poor ones are getting poor more everyday while the rich are getting richer everyday. Money and power u get whatever u want whether by crock of by hock. U don't care who suffers
ReplyDeleteI really am not sure and still very confused how people can look up to and admire Dangote's wealth... for f*** he monopolised the Nigerian goods market... how then should he be admired. He should allow competition and let us and the rest of the world see if he will be as successful. #PostThisCommentOhLinda
ReplyDeleteShut up ur dirty mouth, is he the reason u are a failure? I can tell already from this comment that you are a failure, why are you hating on someone dt doesn't know I exist? Hiss

ReplyDeleteNa so, Money control EVERYTHING. ⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥♡thanks ⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥
ReplyDeleteYes I like that they refused , and that is very insulting to the community members to think if he gives them money and cars they will leave . The community heads are olojukokoro for accepting them . I very much doubt that the Lagos state government are planning to rehouse these people , there are so many refineries that are not in use in Nigeria he should buy them and use them .
ReplyDeleteBaba dangote na u gt sense pass ooo I respect d strategy u use in getin d people of ibeju wt car and cash!As for d people of ibeju lekki una don sell una birthrite must confess!wit time we wil all knw d reason y he choose to gt d land @ibeju and nt Badagry or any oda area#Lipssealed#justsayin
Deletehis money grows like grass as he really want it. Dangote gidan kudi.
ReplyDeleteDangote is the highest employer of labour after the Nigerian govt..we need a refinary as much as we need electricity..more employment &less fuel price,let th people accept th offer cos its a win win situation.
ReplyDeleteWTF...I sawh statement saying people like you is what we need in our community......who will want to leave next to a refinery.....sho!!!! he should find a place far from residential area to build his refinery.......and also...provide those poor people a roof over their head unlike the gluttons they call leaders
ReplyDeleteSoon his lorries will start killing people in that axis . Bloody ritualist.
ReplyDeleteIt's nt fair at all. Some village head ll still sell their own burial ground bfore dey kpai. I pity for their young generation.
ReplyDelete*adefunke*
Why is Fashola looking at Dangote like that?
ReplyDeletethis is crude capitalism in action and the end result is injustice to the poor. Are there not lawful ways of acquiring land in lagos through negotiation and agreement. if the owners are not interested in selling why must they be forced or coerced?. this is victimisation and it forebodes a new and dangerous dimension to land acquisition in lagos state. even though the project could be beneficial to society, yet the poor landowners have equal rights with Dangote. Is the money enough for them to purchase land and resettle elsewhere?
ReplyDeleteLinda u won't kill me with laugh here, what Woo and Lure again? ROTFL
ReplyDeleteNice one. As long as indigens are happy with pay out....think of the greater good of the nation.
ReplyDeleteMoney Answereth Everything
ReplyDeleteSo where will they leave?if they give out the land it will blong 2 him forever.That's what happened in jos wen indegines sold their land to hausas nw they call themselves"jasawa'if wants the land let it be on lease or better still let him go bk to his state where there r lot of unfertile land.
ReplyDeleteWhat do nigerians want.? Dis guy is try to build a refinery that will create jobs and even open up the area to commerce and they are grumbling. Rubbish people. What are you using the land for anyway. Family members killing each other because of land. Better sell it to pace setters like dangote before he vex and decide to go and build it in kafancha. BRF carry go jo. The people against will not prosper. Amen

ReplyDeleteAH!! GAY! THIS PIC IS EPIC!
ReplyDeleteAho giving cars and money for what they are suppose to live for there children that motor and money go last forever??
ReplyDeleteDangote is evil. He is on a mission to take lagos out of the map.Building a refinery in lekki is totally unacceptable.Air quality is their target.What in the world is wrong with Nigerians. Dangote trucks are killing Nigerians on the the road everyday. Isn,t that enough. Now he wants to poison lagosians with his so called refinery.Cancer rate will dramatically increase. Watch out lagos.Fashola,s love for money will eventually over ride every good he has done for lagos.Rise up and Say no to this.
ReplyDeletePls they should nt allow dangote ooooooooh or else pple in dat Area will surfer illnes mostly cancer nd their generation will surfer pls linda help them if u can send msg 2 them It'll more better pls tank u.
ReplyDeleteThere is no time for the hassle. If you need instant Cash For Cars and a trusting online car dealer; Cash for my car now is certainly the best choice. This is a one of a kind solution for cars that needs to be replaced and converted to cash in an instant.
ReplyDeleteThat's how we know the world changers, not our turned down leaders... bless you Dangote ..
ReplyDeleteHmmm I see job employment! But they shouldn't be forced out of their land,i don't think anybody can do that to Dangote! Pls don't come to my land oo dangote cus I will not sell unless it's 10m when I dey save to buy am where were you,now u see value there u wan come over reap. 10m or nothing biko
ReplyDeleteIts proper wen a laying fallow land are used 4 something beneficial 2d state, firstly, A proper EIA must be conducted by a certified consultant either from LASEPA cos de are incharge of d environmental pollution in d state nd as well, d consultant must must be Nesrea,FMenv cerified for a perfect envir assessment cos these ar d set back in niger delta and de ar fully paying 4it tough,sustainable environment is what we all need. Cos is d only common killing instrument around town. Moreso CSR should also be considered for d ibeju lekki settlement, keep d good work uncle fash
ReplyDeleteWhat happened in Niger delta will repeat itself here in the near future.Militant things.i fear o
ReplyDeleteMoney speaking...
ReplyDeleteFashola's smile though. lol
ReplyDeleteD only tin I kn z dat dose pple wil regret giving out dia land in d future bcos dat place z gonna develop lik hell...... to some stupid guys dat lik going to club nd spending money on drinks nd woman nd some stupid girls dat lik spending money on peruvian hair, it z high time u invest in ur future...... u can still get a land within dat axis for 250, 350 etc.... stop wasting your money on tins dat wil neva add value to your life....# just saying# linda post my comment o

ReplyDeleteA successful business man .
ReplyDeleteGov. Fashola never tried to eject the villagers with police men. He has always spoken to the villagers like a father and appeal to them. The land in question is not habitable is swampy and a lot of dredging and land reclamation will take place before any construction can take place and this involves billions of dollars. In the Next 100 years, the villagers cannot develop that land.
ReplyDeleteThe major purpose of the Free Zone project is to boost the economy and create jobs for thousands of people. We cry everyday there are no jobs in Nigeria and yet we refuse such a huge development for myopic reasons. How then do we want the development ? the infrastructures we enjoy today are on people's land. Do you know how many hectares of land the airports are sitting on ? do you have any idea the original owners ?
There is a resettlement scheme in place should those close to the refinery become uncomfortable.
Dangote is the richest man in Africa. He can have that refinery anywhere he wants but would you prefer that refinery outside Nigeria ? do you know how many people will be employed through that project ?
