He stated, “Many Nigerians living abroad can be very funny with the way they talk and make posts on social media about happenings in the country.”

Moreover, Ajayi expressed amusement at how individuals who cannot make basic repairs without government approvals in their countries of residence justify such behavior in Nigeria.

“These people who won’t dare add any extra external facade to their buildings because of the consequences in their country of abode will just be yapping to feel good,” he added.

Ajayi further asserted that the Landmark Beach owners “won’t do what they did in Lagos in nearby Cotonou or Lome not to talk of ‘the abroad’.”

This statement highlights the perceived double standards and disregard for rules exhibited by some Nigerians at home compared to their actions abroad.

In addition to Ajayi’s remarks, the Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, weighed in on the issue.

He stated that the Group Chief Executive Officer and founder of The Landmark Group, Paul Onwuanibe, has no grounds to claim compensation from the Federal Government following the demolition activities related to the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway project.

Despite the proximity of the demolitions to Landmark’s properties, Umahi clarified that the structures owned by The Landmark Group were deliberately spared from demolition.

He emphasized that since the beach is situated within the designated right-of-way, 15 meters from the shoreline, it does not qualify for any claims.
