When the Lagos State Government demolished over 19 buildings at Trade Fair Plaza, many people expressed outrage, calling for proper land verification and stronger accountability from the authorities. Sadly, some comments were outright insensitive, such as: “Demolish more… they no dey hear words.” This kind of statement is harmful because it mocks the pain and financial loss of hardworking Nigerians who invested their life savings into those properties. Instead of pushing for justice and preventive measures, it encourages more destruction. We must remember that property owners are victims of a failed system, not criminals deserving punishment.
