The Lagos State Government has said it will shut down two major markets of Ladipo and Oyingbo from Thursday, September 22, 2022 till further notice. The State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA), who gave the notice, said the decision to shut down the markets was based on reckless waste dumping and refusal to pay for waste services, and general poor waste management situation at the markets.

September 15, 2022The State Waste Management Authority , who gave the notice, said the decision to shut down the markets was based on reckless waste dumping and refusal to pay for waste services, and general poor waste management situation at the markets.

The State Waste Management Authority , who gave the notice, said the decision to shut down the markets was based on reckless waste dumping and refusal to pay for waste services, and general poor waste management situation at the markets. “Despite serving them abatement notices, they have continued the mindless environmental violation. We are left with no other choice than to evoke the necessary sanction of shutting down the markets. This is also meant to serve as a deterrent to other nonchalant markets.”

Odumboni noted further that “We have intensified our sanitation efforts by deploying trucks to clear black spots across the metropolis, especially business facilities.

Only Biafra will serve your interest as an Igbo person

Sad to say, each time 'we' as a people, community and/or government want to solve a problem, the 'feeble-minded' amongst us, throw in the ethnic card to divide us and pitch hate to destroy the good intentions for developmental progress in the land. Why are we like this?

When u victimized ppl, Is just a little time they will feel your pains. Soon they going to find a better redirection.

Hmmmm is obvious

Strategies to reduce Peter Obi’s vote in Lagos... Tinubu shame on you

Igbos like domination one Igbos man we are the same land lord ,he rented some part of the house to tenant but the funniest thing is that when he entered the house may be 10pm he will locked the gate no tenant can come in again untill next morning

Whether the shut or not all youth must be Yusuffully-Obidient we we show them jersey no longer win match but system does

Tinubu and his lagos state counterpart are doing everything to stop igbos from voting the right candidate but their evil plans will not work.

You dnt even know what next

Jankara was demolished in the 80s and traders relocated to Alaba. What's new or special? I didn't remember Ladipo as an eyesore in the 90s, so yes it's sentimental in some way to others too.

This is an act to frustrate the igbo for supporting their own. This is pure politics.

SCAM! Because of Politics

But why Ladipo and Oyingbo? Are you saying those 2 are the dirtiest in Lagos? Haba!

Wow.. Indefinitely? 😲. The timing of this exercise is very wrong and these APC guys keep making costly mistakes. Well everyone will suffer greatly except the sick politicians you guys keep supporting. Will this not affect the bloated Lagos state IGR? jidesanwoolu

I am igbo, but in this I will suggest you negotiate on putting the environment in order and call the government to inspect, to be frank the way things are done and roads are blocked in the mentioned markets are very bad, do the right thing and God will fight your battles

Let it be closed! Dirtiness is very unhygienic

Na whining be this abi?

What about Yoruba houses in Lagos island that doesn't have suck away. The shit enters the open goaters and it stinks all the time

It's Igbo market, it's a plan to dispossessed them their market.

Shut and clean up. Put disposal mech in place reopen the Mkt immediate. These humans find survival here.

Once Nigeria is dismantled the current criminal system will collapse no business as usual for the satanic Nigeria politicians. They will not be interested in the politics any more no more free money.The right candidate will serve their NATIONS with a genuine people's constitution

The past and present criminals claiming to be a politicians Nigeria is their power and business center. Together we can close their business center Nigeria. Support your NATION to EXIT Nigeria for a better life

Buhari ghost worker he's running lagos state like his own personal business. Amoda Sangodele he's running lagos state like own personal business. ELECTION is not the SOLUTION leadership is not the primary issue. Dismantle Nigeria is the SOLUTION

Shutting Ladipo market and Oyinbo market is not about ethnicity here. The truth of the matter still remains that our people are very very unruly, Lagos government needs a neat and hygienic environment and some people with rebellious mindset is still questioning the move.

Do they have to wait this long to?

Any market that leaves their environment to be polluted, littered with wastes should be purnished. Make them pay huge fine. Markets like that should have leaders who make sure rules and regulations are followed. Ketu fruit market on this table even Mile12 market. Close down all

Sanwoolu following his boss order because of obidati followers to save’s his Lagos winning

You people can go ahead and close it let's see if that would help my people to relocate home and join in fighting for Biafran restoration. 👍

Paul2586048833 The oil pipelines should also be shut down for a clean up, of the environment

When will the oil producing states shut all the oil pipelines pending pollution management? Compare and contrast

Let's take politics or tribalism out of this. Why on earth should your trading environment be this dirty? Cleanliness is next to godliness. Traders, endeavour to manage your waste and trade in a clean environment. I nor dey like durti!

Who is responsible to manage waste in Lagos State? Trump solution is what is needed here, let the government remove the waste and traders pay for the cost. Shutting down the market would definitely have boomerang effect on everyone.

everything APC is always on the reverse gear. useless government always seeking for avenue to blame or punish the citizens for it's failures.

Nice one , eko oni baje , yaba market next

Dear Igbos, can this be a reason to leave lagos? But do that after the elections because we need to teach the bigots a big lesson before we do

Clamp down on Igbos over PeterObi support begins in Yoruba land. I keep telling the so called obedients that what they need is REFERENDUM not ELECTION

it’s not about the tribe or state,it’s by the structure of the state governance,these people are paying tax,this market have setup union that collect tax from the marketers,what have the union done to control the waste?How many times does the Lawman go there

There's enough land in Biafra Land, go and build your market there or continue to be bullied in another man's land. Nomercy BiafraExit.

Shut everything down!!!! Let’s go back home biko !!! We can do it💪💪💪💪

Keep wailing. Lagos is no mans land

They must go back to their states , se won Lori awon o pe ni, by the time it’s implemented they will know Lagos belong to Yoruba not yamirin

Y

Honestly we have serious problem in this country, nobody raise voice when govt have been warning them on that issue. Now that it's time for action they sees it as a targeted one. Same people that will use the waste issues to tarnish LASG image during campaign.

Dirty desperation and blackmail

Meehn, it's time to go home

The government should be sincere that they want to make life difficult for those business guys. Playing ethnic sentiment is immaturity on the part of government.

Is closing the market automatically remove the waste. This marketers I believe pays tax regularly and what has the government done with the taxes in keeping the market clean or is it that the Lagos state government does not expect waste from a market?

Why not clear the market and build something good, government should not lack common sense at times like this.

Why at this point in time, must everything be political?

Fighting dirty. One Nigeria? Obi is a Presidential candidate from Obi extraction. It’s not mean the Igbo ad race is going for presidency of Nigeria. The Igbo voted overwhelmingly fir Obasenjo. You going against Igbo man’s business in all guise. Nobody will call you to order now.

Only in Africa Instead of the waste management scheme to do their job effectively in that market... The govt is shutting it down. And tomorrow Nigeria will be better. This is the country people wanna take back?

This is a very good development, since igbo land is not good for my igbo brethren. How many yorubas do you see in igbo land doing business more or less thinking of buying lands and building houses. This is lesson number one.

why not look for other alternatives to rehabilitate those markets rather than shutting it down.lots of peoples business will crash and it will affect the economy....naija self don tire me😓

I didn’t see similar cries when the Okada ban was effected. No cries of ethnic bias from Hausas and Yorubas who dominated the trade.This ethnic group always amaze me.

Hmmm !!! This is not funny at all, they are coming for Igbos 😳 !!!

Why not start from Alaba Rago if ur sincere. The waste in Alaba Rago alone is more toxic than the waste in all markets in Lagos. However, knw that u people r abt to expose ur wickedness on the innocent tribe of Gal. U will end up blessing Israel. It will end in praise.

The plan has started next will be alaba, aspamda, then man dealers

Sorry to say, the Igbo people are biased and very selfish, if you people think it targeted at your people you can relocate back home, that market is full of different tribes but only Igbo are making it look like a tribal thing, u ppl shld rethink & solve ur problems thank u

One Nation!!!

That's the best thing you people can do to shut down the market then the problem of lagos state or Nigeria is well solved

There's absolutely no waste in that environment as I have toured both markets of recent. This is politics... nonsense jare 🚶🏾‍♂️🚶🏾‍♂️🚶🏾‍♂️. I must vote wisely and remain OBIdientlyYUSful to Nigeria 🇳🇬 come 2023

Even abbatior wey Hausa and Fulani plenty pass Yoruba self dem dey close am down for days of becus of waste. So what’s the big deal about this ?

Na everything be politics for this Nigeria, na the fear of make them no say things na politics nahim make some officials no dey take strict warnings.. these listed markets are not the first 2 be closed down indefinitely in Lagos due 2 over wastes. Try dey do research guys abeg.

This is just a blunt reminder that if they fail to manage waste in the market properly, they will be punished. There's nothing wrong about it! All they need to do is to get professional waste managers and all will be alright. Who says it's our right to pollute the environment?

Ladipo aside from Thursdays sanitation, make another last Thursday of the month as a sanition from 7-12noon.. and even at that.. why are they shutting down indefinitely because of waste.. they have Sunday and can make agreement to give a day of the week. Why shut down straight..

Keep creating more negative opinions about your Principal for the good of all Nigerians. This will even make many more people in that market to vote for Peter Obi. Is it after punishing them, you want to tell them to vote for Tinubu? God will keep sett!ng you all up. Ev!l party.

How can someone close d market indefinitely just to deal with waste? Are u aware that people's livelihood depends on their daily sales? This is wrong, no Govt should starve its people cos they want to solve a problem. You can close the market for a day or two & not indefinite😞

What an eyesore.

willynillyme ifb immediately

What’s the difference between you Igbo parts sellers and Fulani cattle headers claiming they can rear their cows anywhere in Nigeria? Height of hypocrisy!

Useless country that's the marginalisation in the so called one nizooria because the market is almost biafrans that's y they want to shut it

Omo Igbos go hear am O

This will be a stupid act if it happens. Shutting down a market till indefinite?

Strategy to defranchaise the igbo by intimidation

Igbos who are supporting one Nigeria will learn it hard after 2023 zoo election.

How can government close a market indefinitely. There should always be a way out because people's investment are involved.

The fire 🔥 you all are playing with will consume you all. jidesanwoolu

Biafra or nothing

Must we relate all to politics. Visit those markets and see for yourself. Most neighborhood shops and markets duly observe Thursday's sanitation exercise in Lagos and why is an exception from these market traders. We as citizens should learn to take some responsibilities.

Indefinitely over waste? This is absurd.

Call me crazy, but I think this is targeted toward a particular ethnicity. Lol, who the hell shuts a market down because of waste? Can people go on their business while the waste management agency deals with the waste at the same time? Sad.

Wow. Congratulations to them 😂😂

Shutting a whole commercial center down just because a government cant manage waste

Politics…

Make these our brothers for Ladipo go online dey sell their market.

I knew this day will come

fear and panic in APC as Tinubu drags peter obi to court 😂👇

I don’t believe this is true …. How will you close a business of many people cos of waste … why can’t waste be removed while everyone does their businesses

This is really sad, when ojukwu wanted biafra, you all said no..now there is an Igbo who believes in Nigeria and wants to be President and you are still saying No...what do you guys want? Inshallah Peter Obi will be President.
