I called my ex who actually bought two shops there as at the time we were still dating..the issue they are facing is not about selling it..their problem is that Lagos state wants to be collecting money from the traders monthly which is something as paying for the shop rent monthly..shops they didn't build.. God save my brother's and sisters.

BafanaBafana:
I was reading a post on nairaland where someone claimed the trade fair complex was built by igbos. Why the unnecessary chest beating?

Who built the shops with their money and levies/ taxes?

BeautifulMind2:

Nothing will happen, since they didn't succeed when Buhari was seeking for Tinubu support, it's late

okay let wait and see inside life

I thought it's the trade Fair on Badagry expressway ni? ����

The Igbos who declared their hospitable host land a "no man's land" will eat all their words by the time we are done with you! This is just the beginning! All markets in Eko shall be remodeled, then you guys will now pay thru your nose to acquire them! No more attachments and squatting. Lagos needs decent markets like Abuja. No more dirty , shady dealings in our markets in Eko! You guys will hear it in the next four years! You heard it here first! Nosy squatters planning to take over! Anuofia!

Any Yorubaman who claim “hospitable host” is a Dumb lazy fool.. who can’t accept the reality of being beaten at “home”. your hate is insignificant and can only kill you. You can’t stop Igbo from being enterprising and resourceful. As Your murdeuos grand father Awolowo failed ... same shall be your faith.

In 1967, Igbo moved to leave Lagos and Nigeria for you, your murderous grand father thwarted the effort...
This is one Nigeria, so shove your hospitable host BS to ur anus

BabaRamota1980:


The previous concession was a monopoly by yanminri. They terminated it to break the monopoly. Now it will be reconcessioned under a competitive balanced arrangement.

This is Nigeria, we already know what that means.

Keep deceiving yourself, Buhari will surprise Tinubu soon, keep waiting for endless concession, your frustration will keep increasing here on nairaland

But Buhari has terminate the agreement in 2017, and want to re-concession it to who? the ibo are claimin fg don't have right terminate the earlyer agreement, they are askig the minister of trade and commerce to come and intervene. They have invested hugely on the complex.

You are just barking senselessly and going of tangent..You clearly have reading and co,prehension issues....Property belongs to FG and not ugly afonjas.

To make matters more laughable,many of you noisemakers are holed up in oshogbo bushes and caves with zero stake in Lagos anyway

Therefore Keep barking ,perhaps your Chihuahua rants might transform to an Ekuke one by 2099..

Hungry Comedians.

It was concessioned to Aulic Nigeria Limited, in 2008 during Yaradua tenure not Goodluck it was terminated over Alleged Contract Breach, the breaches of the contract was the non-remittance of lease fees to the federal government totaling over N6.5 billion from 2008 to 2017.

The shutdown of the market few days ago was done by the presidents of the various market groups within the Trade Fair to protest what an alleged hijack of the complex by a popular politician in Lagos.

The popular politician has been claiming that the complex has being sold to him that's is why BPE released the report

nwanyionitsha:
Not going to happen. The land belongs to the fg and will be concessioned to a northerner.

Why not a pigiyeasternr Abooki asssliicker cum slave!

Shehunoshewhat:


Why not a pigiyeasternr Abooki asssliicker cum slave!

piggywestnrs feel the pains. Go and take over the place na. Shebi oduduwa caliphate slaves said they are the owners.

enemybulldozer:
The same thing is also applicable to pigiwasternrs.

Sanusi has this to say about pigiwasternrs

Don't be aboooki assslicker cum slave. Tell me rather what a prominent pigiyeasternr has to say about Yorubas...

You are getting the issues mixed up though.

We all can wait for your filthy asses to leave! It will be the greatest day of celebration in Yoruba! Peace, sanity and tranquility will finally return! Then we can have genuine investors come in. Not some flat head criminals!

franchasng:
It is a gradual process. Igbos generally are beginning to learn from Yoruba and Hausa-Fulanis, they are gradually de investing from Lagos.

Igbo guys no longer buy land in Lagos like they used to some years back. Many Igbo guys I know now prefer to buy in Owerri, Enugu, Asaba, Onitsha, Awka, PHC, Aba than Lagos.

Its mostly the Igbos living in Lagos now that still buy land in Lagos, mostly to build a residential house to their taste and to stop paying rent, but the rest of their building projects goes to Southeast, PHC, Asaba.

All my friends who live abroad refused to buy a single land or house in Lagos. Some have three - four different buildings in various cities in Southeast, and if u check, Owerri and Enugu property values are coming up as a result of this recent shift of property investment by Igbo people who are being pushed away from Lagos by Yorubas.

So its a matter of time, and it will definitely affect Lagos property value, and I pray the Nigerian breakup Yorubas are indirectly pushing for now happens, by then, we will see how far with Lagos and how they will continue to threaten Igbos when majority will flee Lagos for them to enjoy as they have been clamoring for of recent.

It will happen, just time.

Its called TAX! Light headed Bimboo!
