Do You Think This Was The Best Thing To Do??
Very silly decision on the part of government
I disagree with the decision no Matter what the situation and there were more ways to resolve this than to destroy it but the question is are they even ready for the roads they are talking of or just to destroy someone's business. I love the founder's positive energy and his believe that he will bounce back.How can Africans invest in their own country if their investments won't be safe.Whoever took this decision will never have good sleep 😭
No, and we remember when it was built. The decision is reckless & I’m tired of such actions from the government, smh.
Wode, you better know the facts before you start to post rubbish. He neer owned the beach. His building is still standing there. Don't fall for the victimhood crying and wailing lies. The road will be more beneficial to more Nigerians than the beach. Also, he's not the only one in the area that had their beach from taken away.
Yes, the govt did exactly what needed to be done. You fell for the lies and propaganda. Do your research before posting such rubbish trash in the future. Landmark is still standing, what the govt took away is the beach that he never owned. Is that too hard to understand? Also, what about the other businesses along that area doing the same businesses? Victimhood saleslave mentality has killed this man's business. he's crying wolf for nothing. Majority of Nigerians ar happy about the project except for a few from certain area.
We fight our own and lay the red carpet for Chinese, Europeans, Arabs, etc.What a tragedy!!
I Know Right! We As Melanated People Still Worship ''Whiteness''
Shit crazy asf
Stop being brainwashed by Wode Maya's deception. Nothing was destroyed.
A very stup1d comment, THEY FOLLOW THE LAWS you clown
Relax he owned the land so he will be compensated for it at ten times the value of the land. It’s just PR like when a ceo sells a company to a bigger corporation gets his 20% of the value of the deal leaves knowing that corporation will immediately fire half the work force, so he leaves with a speech for we are family
Jealousy ,stupidity and corruption of African Dictators.😡
Im telling you... The government could have started from Calabar or other places.. after they said it will take 15 years at least to accomplish
Because this man works hard to make his money and wouldn’t give these thieves that gov free money they rather destroy! SICK!
@@davidvalorculkins8218The thing is the project might not even kick off. The so called plan has been lying around for 50 years.
The spirit of an Igbo man is very underrated. He's undaunted and already looking to invest somewhere else instead of crying. May God console and reward him
I blv he made lots of money from this, he new it is a lucrative business, just in a wrong place at the moment. He is a great entrepreneur....
That is what this is ALL about to you. ''Tribe'' before national interest. People like you are a disgrace to the continent.
Stop tribalizing everything.
He is moving to the Gambia
He should better invest in Igboland
I love the LANDMARK OWNER'S spirit. He doesn't cry and rant hopelessly. He believed this will only take him higher in a short while; if faith was a person.
because he knows the truth
That Interview Was Before The Demolition. You Must Be Crazy If You Think Anyone Will Not Be Bothered When Someone Demolished A Multi Million Business. All His Life Saving And Debt That He Has To Pay Back. Taking Higher Nonsense. Many Of You People Living In Nigeria With No Sense.
@@midomaltwhat truth foool
Those who never built anything with hard earned money can't place a value on anything.
We have wicked and self-centred politicians in Africa
This is it!! Not even Nigerian, but this truly was disappointing on a continental level!! We are seeing same thing currently in Kenya at smaller scale but still disappointing.
Is not the leaders it’s the people. Self destruction, jealousy, self infliction and envy, is the Real Problem amongst the people. The masses are delusional how they treat whites above their own. Crabs in a bucket.
They are just idiots 😡
We must SEPARATE emotional blackmail from economic analysis. The coastal highway is a good project that will positively affect 75 million people in 8 states. No one should cry over that, instead people should be glad for that
@@user-fp5hq5kj2b rubbish
Look the people that always defend nepotism..
As a Zambian 🇿🇲 watching this, im having a lot of questions about how brains of our African politicians work.
Most of them can't understand tourism because they're old school. They only know about roads and bridges as far as development goes, they have no idea where they are going though
That's because many of them are sellout and weak men unlike a few like Traore of Burkina Faso and the Niger president, whom the west hates. Many of these African leaders do not want to be on the right side of history, they keep sowing these evil seeds which they'll all reap. Posterity will judge them
No they are just evil and filled with hatred towards hardworking and successful citizens who don’t want to affiliate with them. Most of our politicians can’t fathom how difficult it is to create wealth and be successful because they are corrupt and gain wealth through corruption. So they will destroy your investment or forcibly take it away from you whenever they see you as a threat to their regime.
What's difficult to understand about Greed? African politicians have no shame.
Not too well, obviously.
I love the attitude of this businessman, Paul Onwuanibe, the Founder of Landmark Africa. He is not bitter. He has vision! He doesn't look back but has a vision and he's moving forward. This is a great example of how we should face challenges in life and how we should work with the government when they have a right of eminent domain. He is looking forward to creating something bigger and better. The social activities, jobs, and more... He's not going back to London. He is going to continue to work with Nigeria. Love it!!
Why will he feel bad when you built shanties on government land and already made billions from it
LIES...he did not work with the government. He did everything he could to make the government look bad, and hid the fact that the minister of works sat with him twice, and made concessions to him...
With the numerous influencers and bloggers we have in Nigeria, it has to be a WODEMAYA.. Thanks brother..
As in eeh others are just catching cruise with it without making move to meet him.
@chieboezeromanus3609 only to carry irrelevant news that has no value
Whoever made the decision to destroy all this hardwork must be a heartless beast!
It's umahi nah who else
Who else will decide that without the backing and vetting of the President who is from Lagos, we heard.
Not all the properties were destroyed, unfortunately it’s the Cabana’s & small stalls & recreation on the beach that were Destroyed, the Highrises & Hotels and other major Structures were untouched
@@Mkym365 is that true it was partially destroyed leaving the high rise.
@@Mkym365 Thanx for the info, but nonetheless, what I see is heartbreaking 😭 😭
I love the owners mindset, he will come back stronger
He will
Yes He will.
But him keep talking about lagos is what i dont enyoy
If he's wise, he'll not do anything in Lagos again. I know they have equally made the east dangerous for Igbos to go home and develop their land. This APC government is encouraging the rise of Biafra because you can't continue to strip Igbos of their livelihood and expect them to keep silent
He should not invest in Nigeria period
This Gentleman has strengthened me mentally, The Courage & resilience to continue, may the Almighty Be with u.
Can't you stand on your own?
@dadakeshinro6749 No man should be an island, finding encouragement in and through others and being able to give it does not diminish who you are. Live a little, live a lot. Shikena!
what a rare soul. What a beautiful man. May he thrive. May his dear heart be healed after the malice. Encourage this man. May his heart be comforted. May nations of Africa be liberated from malicious "kings".
A resounding AMEN!!!!!
This man is full of positivity, God please provide and protect him.
I love his spirit, very inspiring.
Uncle Paul is so graceful. Despite the attack he still keeps his composure. He will overcome and triumph in the near future.
Wode is feeding you propaganda. The truth is out there. They know most would be lazy or too busy to find out
Wow! I tell you what? The owner has really inspired me, despite of the loss, yet he still holding on to faith. Instead of complaining or fighting, he decide to focus on the future..
Sending you love and prayers from Lusaka, Zambia🇿🇲
No, he did a lot of complaining and gave the world the impression that he was targeted, that he was a victim. Everything he said in Wode's video was just PR...Works Minister, Engineer Dave Umahi met with him twice. When they asked for legal papers for the beach land, he could not produce it. He acquired land though a royal family, not Lagos or federal government. He was not the most affected. There were 4 other beach businesses, all of them were affected. There were royal families that lost miles of beach land, there were communities cut in half or may have to relocate to a different area. In the rank of those who lost land or business, Landmark may not crack the top 10...but he was the one making the MOST NOISE....
People like u are the reasons why African is a cursed place. May ur comment follow every little thing u do@@user-fp5hq5kj2b
@@user-fp5hq5kj2bI think you're lying because I saw him grant interviews on channels and Arise Television, and, he did not complain even once. He was repeatedly asked many sensitive questions which he answered with tact and wisdom without complaining even once. Moreover, he said that he was given all the necessary permits by the Lagos state Government. So you are just a bloody liar and an enemy of progress for making these false statements. If I didn't see the Television interviews, I would have believed your lies. Shame on you.!!!
@@user-fp5hq5kj2b Stop talking rubbish which is why no one has reacted to your lies. Why are you heartless, even if he did all you said do you not have a GOVERNMENT?? Where was the Government when he was acquiring it? They targeted a viable business, destroyed the hard work and livelihood of thousands. And you still write and defend rubbish
Wode Maya, you visited Innoson Motors in Nnewi and your delight was highly appreciated. The same people who destroyed Paul Onwuanibe's properties also have been trying to destroy Innoson Motors. Innoson Motors escaped destruction because he built the company in his father's compound unlike Onwunibe who built it in an area hostile to Igbos.
Go to Lagos and see Igbo properties being destroyed left and right. Very shamefully, the Indians and Chinese are given the destroyed Igbo properties to build but they turn around baring Nigerians from shopping in their supermarkets and even enrolling in their schools.
I just fell in love with the owner's spirit,i just love his spirit...no confusion,no ranting,but holding on to faith, focusing on future...i learnt a lot from his composure...More ,greater investment will come,the next glory is greater...
Its really sad to see what happened to his business. However, He is calm and not that bothered because he definitely got paid all he invested in the business. I believe the Nigerian government fully compensated the property and business owners around the highway corridor that were affected.
@@alexordia2386the minister has said that there is no compensation for him...
Stoicism. That's a real man.
@@alexordia2386Yes. He Got Paid More Money 💰 I Will Not Be Surprised That He Sold It To Foreign Companies That Paid Him More Money In Foreign Currencies
@@alexordia2386they offered him 100m naira for a 200m dollars investment they will pay you that kind of back
An enemy can destroy well developed properties but not the vision behind the powerful glory.
Facts
He Got Paid Big Time With Interest. He Was Not Even Blaming Anyone. Lagos State Government Paid Him More Than He Invested
@@AfricanUSA-th9ovare you sure? I hope so o
@AfricanUSA-th9ovStop lying
No matter what negative thing you do by way of evil attack, you cannot kill the Igboman's enterprising, resilient and bullish spirit. You can only look back at how well we have bounced back from the ruins and devastations of the Civil War to understand the kind of never-say-die mentality the Igboman possesses.
Go develop onitsha. It is an advice .
Arabs did it with dubai.
You guys will just be victims for nothing like the cursed sisyphus
I'm not an Igbo person. A Nigerian should have the right to buy and develop properties anywhere in Nigeria. Foreign companies and government like the Chinese own a lot of our resources worth billions of dollars and they may not employ as many people as this business employs.
He Got Paid More Than He Invested. He Is Not Stupid. He Is Too Chill And Not Bothered. Nonsense. He Is A British Man.
As a Nigerian, it's so sad that our leaders fail to see the futuristic avenue in recreational facilities.
The funny thing here is this, as at today being the 24th of May, 2024. The Nigerian government has stopped the project of building the coastal highway that led to the destruction of people's investments. Leaving thousands of people jobless.
Government are quick to destroy what they did not build.
Now that the project has stopped, what is the faith of the investor?
they see the future but because it is not their own destruction it's everywhere in africa
willfully ignorant
I have never seen a strong man like him,
He will be bigger again
the bravery of Wode! wow. we must speak out to criticize wrongdoing all over the motherland and diaspora. now I see why Africans of ALL Countries love u brother. God bless u❤✊🏾❤
This is sad and it's really sad he lost all his investments.
However the thing is how do we know what really happened at the very beginning? Normally, government land and planned high ways are clearly documented years and even decades ahead? How did he miss this in his due dilligence ? Or did the civil servants at the lands commission lie to him? Or did the owner pay bribes to acquire the land and building permit, etc. knowing full well it is government land ?
In Nigeria and my native Ghana, there's too much indiscipline and many disregard the rules because they can. So until I know the full facts I won't apportion blame. .
If he built the resort without due dilligence or after paying bribe, then we can't blame the government for enforcing the law. However those civil servants who granted him building permits, etc under those circumstances need to be brought to account too.
Until we start enforcing the rule of law in Africa and people are held to account, nothing will change
@@africanmindsetseries Like you stated, you don't know much about the story.
A quick research would have shown you that Landmark was clearly targeted.
Zero in on Eko Atlantic development and the (unfortunately) ethnicity of Landmark ownership and the success of the company to begin to understand why he may have been a marked man/business.
So sad!!
@@ucukaoma4551 Stop lying...nobody was targeted. He built illegally on goverment land. And his main property was never destroyed but just beach part. The other beach properties that was completely destroyed are owned by Yoruba people but nobody is crying the way you people are crying. STOP VICTIM MENTALITY propaganda. if you dont feel safe in Lagos you can move to another city. Nobody cares again about you people crocodie tears.
I hope Wode! would be brave once they put a wall on the beaches in Ghana and no fisherman or poor locals have access to the water anymore without paying .
Wode Maya is doing what Ghanaians 🇬🇭 do Best jumping to Conclusions about Nigeria 🇳🇬 and Always trying to Demarket Nigeria to Elevate Ghana🇬🇭 Smh… Typical pull him Down syndrome
That’s one thing I love about Nigerians, their RESPECT for authority. His attitude is amazing 😊
This is a true businessman very brave and bold
We need this brother in Liberia. We have plenty of beachfront land for you. Invest in beautiful Liberia.
I’m coming to do exactly this!
@@Confidentlyawakenedwe could partner
the owners mindset...is unbelievable my lord will restore you in triple and quatriple..
May God grant you serenity and good health during this time
Thanks for giving this Land mark situation a coverage.. I visited Land mark while i was in Nigeria this February...it's such an amazing resort to relax, and it met International Standard.
Wow. It gives me second thoughts about Nigeria. So Sad.
Jealousy and envious. 😢 in my country we call it badmind, but he will build again bigger and better ❤
The minister of works' boss, the president, is the actual beast. A white substance dealer by the way. He forfeited over $400k in Chicago in the 90s to the authorities.
The construction company handling that project is owned by his Lebanese money launderer. The president's son was recently made a member of board of one of the sister companies to the construction company.
That road project that resort was demolished for is being funded illegally to the tune of a wild amount for just a short distance of it. The project didn't go through due process before the president's buddy's construction company mobilised to site.
That road project could have been started from the other end to give the business ample time to wind down, but the artificial island project the Lebanese money launderer owns needs to expand, therefore that resort needs to go.
It's Africa 🌍, share wickedness, jealousy 🎉. You fight your own
Africa is F-ed up
Oh yes of course! You just said it all. That guy who called himself an engineer and politician is fucking jealous, he has a mission and his purpose is to destroy. How can you encourage infrastructural development by destroying a world class infrastructure.
Jealousy of what? You mean drug money? 😂I feel sorry for the owners but the super highway is more important than the beaches because more than 2 beaches were affected. Well Keep quiet and ask before you judge. The government are building a super highway 🛣️ on the beach ,in fact the construction of the 5lane super highway 🛣️ on which side has started, you Mumu you should mind your business. We do not interfere in ghanas business,so mind your business. And research before you come online to speak nonsense. Ask yourself,how many beaches was affected? Only this man is crying. Other beaches owners are not crying. The super highway 🛣️ construction is already underway . If you’re doubting, search Lagos-Calabar costal road on RUclips and you should mind your business next time. You’re among the same people that will come online to insult Nigeria that is not developed, now they’re developing it, you still complaining, Are you okay? Well mind your business and drink some water as we fix our city. Don’t bother to reply me because I won’t read it. All the best Hypocrite
They’re jealous but you can’t build same business in your east lol. Go back to the east. Mumu people , drug dealers
It is what it is: Wickedness.
The owner is the definition of inspiration. A big lesson learned from his attitude.
This will be the eventual pathway to Landmark Africa. I believe you can replicate this in the whole of Africa. Dont feel down, we all are watching and will contribute in our own lil way.
Wode Maya you are right about investing in Africa. My son just last week said to me. I was going to Nigeria to invest in some property. But after he saw this in the news. He has reconsidered. He is half Nigerian and half American.
The Nigerian Government could have found a better solution.
Yeah, don’t make the mistake of investing in Nigeria.
I Dont think if your son want to invest in America he will own the beach if in the USA beach belong to the govt, we are developing country and that coast line is needed for a very important road that will serve us as people, and the govt use the beach for it, the beach by the way which belong to the govt not him, his property that he actually bought was not touched whatsoever or demolished.
@@mrkpadmrkpad5653 first of all ..All Beaches in America are not owned by the American government. Google it.
@@Rtt-tr5pq no worries. He is looking into other places now.
Especially in Lagos
His attitude is inspirational. Forge on despite adversity. He will build bigger and better, providing employment opportunities!
Same Truth Kwame Nkruma, JJ. Rawlings, Gen.C.Ojukwu, Prof.Lumumba preached, you are hammering today 👍✔💪Many will use the little "power" they assume they're having to drag Afrika back to stone age.

Impressive. Listening to Paul, smiling, unembittered, radianting the srrength if conviction, I get the reason why he's so successful. He will sure will rise again, and fly even higher. That, I have not a doubt.

Oh yes.
Place a highway right on the coast where there is undstable sand. What can possibly go wrong???
Making way for Chinese and Eurasian owned business and neocolonisation. The scramble for Africa returns.
Idiot
Lol Na road them say they wan build lol
Close but not entirely true. It is Arabs this time, namely the infamous Chagouri brothers who helped former Nigerian military tyrant General Sanni Abacha loot the Nigerian treasury back in the early '90s that are behind the white elephant coastal highway project that will never extend beyond the Lagos vicinity, and it is that phantom highway that is being used as a pretext to grab miles of beachfront property from Nigerian owners, so as to transfer ownership of that annexed land to the Chagouri brothers under the table.
@@riverbankfisher Can you imagine??????????
Exactly, our government is a sellout. This neocolonialism is not ending anytime soon. Yet they keep pretending like they want Nigerians to come home and invest. What a joke.
Landmark beach was one of my favourite relaxation spots in Lagos. And it really hurts me to know I won't be able to get that experience again. I want to commend the CEO of Landmark for remaining positive and showing strength in this difficult time. Thank you Wode Maya for covering this and also thanks to Stephen for saying what we all think. The government should have used the pre-established plan for that coastal road and that act would have saved landmark, the CEO, guests and vendors who have lost their livelihoods, this heartache.
Is was so progressive to see Black Bodies playing in white sand instead of some freaking Europeans enjoying the beauty of Africa
The new development coming onboard will significantly impact his business when completed.
@abimbolaoyeneye6661
Shift. New development indeed.
@@abimbolaoyeneye6661let's be watching how it goes.
Wode Maya, this man is brave, may the Lord protect him, this situation is something else, it needs a person with a strong heart.
Well that is another level Maya, the story won't always be rosy. But I am happy the owner said "we will be back in 12 months" 👌❤️💖. That for me should keep us going. Get up and get going. Don't stay on the ground when you fall.
This breaks my heart,may God restore him praying for his mental health 🙏
I hope my African American brothers and sisters are watching because they think these things only happens to them 🙈
Exactly
Oh we are watching. I have share this video.
The fact that so many Africans leave or try to leave Africa you’d have to be slow to think it doesn’t happen to them. The problem is scamming, backstabbing and myopic mindset have become ingrained into their culture which makes it hard for honest and hardworking Africans to exist peacefully and prosper.
Exactly
No one ever said that you weirdo. In america we care about us BECAUSE THATS OUR COUNTRY! Idiot
Some people end up killing themselves. i love his mind set no giving up
They know why they did it. Everyone knows.
I would not rebuild anything else in that State if I were him.
May God bless his heart.
You may need to advise him. He is still looking for land in other beaches in Lagos. What is wrong in investing in any of the 7 coastal states in Nigeria? What is wrong with investing in Aba, Imo, Enugu....
You are on of those people fooled by the emotional blackmail. The true story is different.
Educate yourself about issues. 285m of coastal land belongs to Federal government by law. Instead of taking 285m, which should have consumed his entire business, they took only 50m and had to reclaim land from the ocean at additional cost, not just that, by law, federal government pays compensation for physical buildings, (not just shanties, or fences with bamboos) but they paid all the same to accommodate all interests, not just that, when federal officials met him twice, to provide official documents how he got beach land, he didn't have it. He allegedly bought the beach land from a royal family, not the regular state or federal officials. They just left all that alone. It was all emotional blackmail and manipulation. The facts of the case are totally different from what is portrayed online
Then you will go and build in the dessert sad East and watch your businesses failed
This man is a very good businessman. He should be used as case studies in all business schools. Is painful but he should all be positive minded as he is now. His future is brighter than the pass.
God be with him ❤❤
Thanks for the interview wodeMaya
The whole onset from the beginning was total shortcuts. This is a symbol of Blacks 😮
No way! Even textbooks have no name for such risk. It should just be called African risk, what government kills enterprise with no guarantee of compensation! $17million investment destroyed in less than a fortnight? Is the road going to be built so soon or did he just pay for not greasing the wheel?
This is Heartless and pure wickedness from politicians.It's even a cursed to be an African now in your own country.😢😢😢😢😢
Thanks Wode for doing this video. I've been devastated since the conception of the demolition, which the government only gave 7days notice. That was really insane! Paul is such a strong and intentional man. I love the way he's handled it with the resolution to do it bigger n better. That was a huge motivation for me, not dwelling on the loss but rising to face the challenge ahead.
He will recreate another. I love his spirit.
I’m in tears. The self hate is unreal! They would never even consider to do anything like that to the other nations.
You spoke my mind 😭
You said exactly what my wife and I said. It's like a video I saw where they sacked two police men because they asked money from a woman of the Netherlands who was a tourist in Nigerian. Meanwhile, the Nigerian police has been asking money from their brothers and sisters for centuries, and nothing is done.
He built on land that didn't belong to him. If anyone wants to cry, we should endeavour to give them a plate to shed tears into.
All is just PR, The Landmark owner has made hundreds of millions of dollars selling on land that didn't belong to him... he knows that with all these free adverts, he will have more customers.
@@AkinsNazri speaking with no sense. Y’all are the reason these politicians have wings. How could one invest billions in such a property without paying for it? Zero sense! So obviously he paid for it but Nigeria happened to him. It's just like here in Port Harcourt, people buy landed properties without the C of O due to government regulations. This might have been the case here.
@@paulokeke8337 I don't disagree with what you're saying but then what should have happened? Should the real owner have just let it happen because someone probably decided to do 419 to the guy?
7 days notice is absolute wickedness!
Thank you for doing this video. And please send my kindest regards to Sir Paul ❤🙏🏾
This doesn't give people hope of ownership in the mother land. Very sadening😢

Thank you for the vblog.
I am so PROUD of you, Mr Paul Onwuanibe. The people that are for you are more than those against you. You are unstoppable!
You spent more time talking about your vision of doing it bigger, better, and within the lifetime of the opportunity. You've made a decision to recreate it in a bigger and better way. We believe in you, sir!
Thank you!
This man will rise again. The fact that he draws inspiration from the demolition speaks volumes to me.
This is so sad. I visited this Place when I came to Nigeria for a wedding. I remember the wedding party going there for drinks. We had such a wonderful time at Landmark.
I just can't believe this.😮
This video broke my heart. But when the owner spoke about moving forward; I felt slightly better. Thanks for focusing on the future.
Great interview … great disposition by the victim … wishing him better fortunes in his next endeavor
I respect this mans positive spirit. Sometimes to go higher you need to drop down. NA MAN YOU BE!
Where was the government when he bought this land, this people are all against the igbos.
Many Igbo properties are being demolished in Nigeria daily
Our houses is are being demolished in Lagos and no body seems to talk about it
Igbos and victim mentality. How do your parents really raise you guys? So, those other tribes that have far expensive properties destroyed are not human beings?
This is all a strategic collective punishment by Tinubu to the Igbos for daring to shake up the balance of power in Lagos state with their votes in the last election. He targets their properties, their businesses etc. Igbos, learn a lesson, take your investments to your states. Nigeria is like Yugoslavia of 1991 waiting for the ignition.
I agree with you 💯. I'm not an Igbo man but we all know it was because tinubu lost Lagos to Obi.
It’s sinful!! The waste … the labor the money, the materials. I can’t understand why(to build a road?) but demolishing is not the answer. It’s so hurtful it seems like sabotage.
For a raod they won't complete, instead embezzle the money
I think they're going to bring in someone else and I can bet on everything they ain't AFRICAN!!!
We are our own worse enemy. It frustrating to watch. I'm not even Nigerian
After this piece and Delibrate Misleading Narrative on Nigeria🇳🇬 by Wode Maya🇬🇭 I’ve LOST All respect for him..Smh
Nothing is sinful; urban regeneration happens by taking down any obstruction.
This is really heartbreaking. Thanks, WODE.
Wode Maya God will bless you abundantly. Well done bros keep it up!
This is shocking ...All the jobs this resort has sustained, were obliterated.
“Unemployment leads to crime” posted on a police website.
Businesses and job creation coming to that axis are a thousand times bigger than what is tenable at the landmark. There is nothing shocking about this; this is why Lagos is working.
@@abimbolaoyeneye6661 Sure, destroyed a water park, a piece of nature in the big city, that provided entertainment for thousands of people, youth and families, to build a road. When the majority of Nigerians living in Lagos, don't even own a car.
Wode Maya made it seem like all his investments were destroyed, which is far from the truth…the Highrises, Hotels, & Major infrastructure were left alone…it was the Cabanas, small stalls & Recreational section on the Shoreline unfortunately were the ones Destroyed.. The Shoreline like in most African Countries belong to the Government

The land belongs to the people. Where did the government get land from ?
If we vote you into office then it means you now own land. 😂😂😂
Our black leaders keep us where we are .... courage my brotjer ❤ from Haiti .
Is not the leaders it’s the people. Self destruction, jealousy, self hate, self infliction and envy, is the Real Problem amongst the people. The masses are delusional how they treat whites above their own. Crabs in a bucket.
This man is a legend! 👏
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, stay strong brother keep inspiring generations to come LANDMARK 💙 also thanks wode Maya for keeping us plugged in Africa 🌍
15:15 This Man will definitely grow bigger and better than before. Mark this comment made by me on this day.
He has a golden heart and very patriotic and passionate about his country ❤❤😢
All that hard work, money and energy to see it all dismantled is disheartening. He looks like a strong humble businessman, he shouldn’t have any problem bouncing back.🔥🔥🔥
I feel sorry for the owners but the super highway is more important than the beaches because more than 2 beaches were affected. Well Keep quiet and ask before you judge. The government are building a super highway 🛣️ on the beach ,in fact the construction of the 5lane super highway 🛣️ has started, you Mumu you should mind your business. We do not interfere in ghanas business,so mind your business. And research before you come online to speak nonsense. Ask yourself,how many beaches was affected? Only this man is crying. Other beaches owners are not crying. The super highway 🛣️ construction is already underway . If you’re doubting, search Lagos-Calabar costal road on RUclips and you should mind your business next time. You’re among the same people that will come online to insult Nigeria that is not developed, now they’re developing it, you still complaining, Are you okay? Well mind your business and drink some water as we fix our city. Hypocrite
Imagine the audacity of the minister Dave Umahi calling the beautiful set up a shanty, and that the businessman is a politician while he, Dave is an engineer. A former governor of Nigeria who did a lot of white elephants` projects with inflated prices saying he is not a politician, but a businessman who has never been into politics is. That's the criminal mindset of a common Nigerian politician.
My heart goes out to you Paul... hope you bounce back and bigger
I pray for your humility and understanding kind sir. You are a beautiful person! Such a role model!
If I can feel all this pain just watching from Uganda 😥💔, I can't imagine what the owner is feeling 💔🤔
Someone should not leave his site/side cos this young man is really hurting on the inside!!!
When you hear a blind man claiming he'll stone you, it's quite evident that he well knows what his hand is holding.
The man is so positive, the resilient mindset he has really inspired me.
That is a Nigerian.Discouragement is not in our DNA
indeed he really inspired me as well cos even wouldn't be this positive if you ask me
This is so unfair. No mindful person will destroy another mans sweat 😢😢
I feel so deeply for this investor .. please take care
This is really heartbreaking. So grateful that this man/owner is still intact in his spirit, and has great hopes. So much hard work, gone down. God please, hold him and the co investors up together.
This is the most positive business owner I have ever heard speak. I am a Ghanaian who stayed in Nigeria for almost 14 years. My job took me there and Landmark was one of the few places I could take my family to enjoy the outdoors outside our estate. It’s very unfortunate that the government couldn’t come to a better arrangement to preserve I saw as one of the few tourist attractions in Lagos. This is a huge loss in my opinion.
This video has broken my heart,all we can do is to pray for this gentleman for God to restore him and may this t loss not break him.i pray that whatever is borne out of this tribulation is something that will restore his smile and glorify God,may God see him through this
I would like to express gratitude for this powerful message on his behalf. God bless you and him.
This idea of praying to God when the government does something wrong should stop. As Africans, we need to hold the government accountable. The government needs to be sued in a court of law for this…not prayer
After this piece and Delibrate Misleading Narrative on Nigeria🇳🇬 by Wode Maya🇬🇭 I’ve LOST All respect for him..Smh
The Fulanis using their tribe and Islam religion, is the main problem in Nigeria. The British set up the Fulani minority to undermine development in Nigeria. You read in the news about Fulanis terrorizing and grabbing the Yorubas, Igbos lands. The Fulanis are also oppressing the Hausas who are the biggest tribe of Nigeria and also Moslems like the Fulanis!! If Africans were able to condemn the racist White minority in South Africa, then Africans who oppress and kill fellow Africans based on their religion or ethnic group should be vehemently opposed and defeated in their evil towards fellow Africans. The same should apply to the minority Rwandan/Burundian Tutsi Nilo/Cushitic Hamites who have militarily been set up by Britain and USA, to oppress the Bantu majority in Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and Congo,😮 and have committed genocide on close to 20 million fellow Africans which has been covereup by the West. Kagame and Museveni's extremist Rwandan/Burundian Tutsi Nilo/Cushitic Hamite refugee hegemonists first committed genocide of over 1.5 million on Indigenous Ugandans and tookover the Uganda government which😢 has been covered up by Western governments. Through the West having played up the Rwandan genocide and particularized the Rwanda genocide on only the Tutsis. In order for the West to coverup Museveni, Kagame and their kindred Tutsi refugee first genocide on Indigenous Ugandans and usurpation of the Uganda government in 1986!!
How can we in America help to restore this project? Archbishop Clarence Davis
I will connect you to Wode Maya Sir 🙏🏽 I wonder if there’s anything that can be done though.
Archbishop Clarence Davis.
I was a worker there managing my life with the little salary they were paying me but right now I'm now jobless because of this destructions.
I'm now back to my home.
I really need help please.
I needs some cash to start up a small restaurant business in my area where I can be cooking to sell.
Please any assist from you will be greatly appreciated sir.
@@mattsane7262Beggar he is talking of restoring a project and you are begging for money. What a disappointment. Absolute lack of vision.

Thank you Wadamaya for this video. I have been crying more than the bereaved on this landmark beach matter. But seeing uncle Paul’s composure, I have learnt a lesson that will last a lifetime about handling life’s challenges because they’ll always come, in big, small, medium or chaotic measures. How we handle them determines our character as entrepreneurs and as humans in general.
Grace🙌
As someone in the Real Estate and Construction industry who desired to see Africans doing big things in the industry, this broke my heart. All the time and money invested. What a waste. Why Africa why??
Be careful not to conflate Africa because of one unstable political chaotic country Nigeria. Many African countries are organized and have the rule of law.

It is known as TRIBALISM. That's all. They are making excuses that the owner of Landmark Beach did not purchase the Beach, and that the Nigerian constitution gave the right of way to the federal government.
@@zusibone hmmm. Name one example....
@@habarizenuTV Zimbabwe, Tanzania, South Africa, Angola, Benin, Senegal, Morocco,Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, The Gambia, Ivory Coast. African countries were you can invest in peace and don’t have too worry about having your property destroyed by the government out of spite and envy. Nigeria is just corrupt as hell and not the heart of Africa.
O Africa... When all this will end. It's so sad. If it was a western company, they would have never done this. If they Can use the same boldness to fight Elf Total and all those other compagnies that are destroying Africa
If it was a Chinese business the culprits would be dead by now
I will not pity him, let he continue building in Lagos and in yoruba land, instead of coming back home in igbo land and invest, where his business will be safe.
@@NnamdiJoseph-ie2jf Is there any waterfront in Southeast, or a beach?
Yes, there is water that can take ship, but not for beach. Lagos is former federal capital for 77 years,
Every infrastructure there is built by the wealth of all Nigerians.
It just because other tribe don't have investment like the Igbos that is the reason all of them keep quiet.
Any day, they started destroying Hausa, and other tribe properties in Lagos. The campaign to make Lagos a federal administration territory will start and Yoruba might eventually lose Lagos.
Or to be manage by a tribe, If vote is conducted in the National Assemblies.
Imagine, a tribe in Ghana claiming they own Accra that is being developed with the sweat of all Ghanaians, or a tribe in Kenya claiming they own Nairobi, and will decide who live there and who should not.
It will continue for upward development.

WOW!!! I like the Man's spirit, he said he's gonna do something bigger! Just WOW!!!
This man is truly a legend, he is not better,he not blaming anyone but more focus,wow
*Bitter
I believe this is not good.i don't think this man is as strong as he confest.just a piece of string holding this man up.This man is broken inside just like me.tears filled .my eyes.wode even you very broken inside and hollow😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Jealousy and greed.
You all really sound stupid. Seriously, you all sound stupid. The beach in the first place belongs to the federal government. He had no right to be there in thebfirst place. Secondly the federal government want to open up the whole of that corridor for lotsmof businesses and you people have come here to say way you don't know. The miami coastal road is there. Go and look at what the miami coastal road is like
The hatred, jealousy for IGBOS baffles me!!! The man will rise again. Igbos never give up, they patriotic, resilient, tenacious, ambitious, strong minded, brave warriors, and never give up. He will come back stronger. Arise and shine brother...
Ignorance, no emotions here, nothing like jealousy; Landmark is not the only business affected.
@@abimbolaoyeneye6661 first of all, why use ignorance? If landmark isn't the only business affected, I should be asking you the revenue of other businesses and the comparisons.
You should be worried about YOUR IGNORANCE hiding under the umbrella tree of coastal line development!
Bitches!!!
Watch Landmark, give him just two more years. Nonsensical and idiocracy human being like you!
Do you think, you and your sycophant can demolish a Great person? Or do you think, you and your cohorts, can dehumanize a person who's already BIGGER THAN YOU?
May God grant you more years to see wonders of landmark...
You can destroy what a man has built but you cannot destroy his resolve, determination, talents and his ability to recreate it over and over again. I hope this inspires someone. Those who have unique skills will always have a job, even your enemy would want to hire you.
good journal, kudos to you journalism
Heartbreaking 💔. Tribalism ,envy and corruption in government is what happened here.
Tribalism it is my dear
Oh...let's not leave out JEALOUSY!!!
The Nigerian gov is working with US and big tech to destroy Africa...
Are the shops demolished in Enugu also tribalism? Lagos must be active in development.
I am half NigerianMy Father is from Nigeria he always tell me how his Tribe Ibos are marginalized & it happened that the owner of the resort is Ibo
In Nigeria we say, "Pray that Nigeria doesn't happen to you " Nigeria just happened to our brother Landmark 😢
Educate yourself about issues.
1. 285m of coastal land belongs to Federal government by law. Instead of taking 285m, which should have consumed his entire business, they took only 50m and had to reclaim land from the ocean at additional cost.
2. By law, federal government pays compensation for physical buildings, (not just shanties, or fences with bamboos) but they paid all the same to accommodate all interests.
3. When federal officials met him twice, to provide official documents how he got beach land, he didn't have it. He allegedly bought the beach land from a royal family, not the regular state or federal officials. They just left all that alone because it would become a distraction.
4. There were 4 other beach businesses, royal families that lost miles of land, communities cut in half or may have to resettle in a new area. In the list of those that lost in that community, he may not crack top 10. It was all emotional blackmail and manipulation. The facts of the case are totally different from what is portrayed online
@user-fp5hq5kj2b Listen, may we be alive to witness that Costal Road project..don't forget what I just said. I no dey for long grammar
@@user-fp5hq5kj2bwhat now ? The same EIA that was demanded they failed to produce n after d demolition, the site is abandoned due to possible infringement on Telecom cables. Tell me it's not a deliberate act.🙁
This place was on my bucket list 😢
Much love, South Africa❤❤❤
I am so truly sorry this happened to this fine establishment and Mr Onwuanibe. I am Yoruba but live in England; this is the first time I've seen the scope of this development as I don't travel home much. I'm truly disheartened that our government still lacks full transparency and accountability for the betterment of the welfare of the people. I sincerely hope he is adequately compensated and this case is not dragged through the courts and brushed aside. To be honest Mr Paul, if you ever see this; do not let the light in your eyes grow dim from grief or regret. To keep your hope and spirit alive, go where you are celebrated and welcomed... you'll live longer without the hassle. Perhaps Akwa-Ibom as they appreciate tourism more and it is a beautiful place although not as vibrant as Lagos. I'll definitely keep you in my prayers. Live long and prosper and be in good health.
P.s: Seeing your grace in the face of adversity, truly inspiring.... you are the stuff of which kings are made! 🙏🏾
WodeMaya you didn’t do anything controversial rather your video on this issue show how great you are. I am a Nigerian and this type of altitude in Nigeria is why Nigeria can’t move forward because you have a bunch of scumbags, who are knee-deep in tribalism, envy and just plain wickedness, making demonic decisions that are pulling the country down. Thanks for bringing this issue to the world. God bless you Wodemaya.
Wode Maya took a Heartbreaking video and turned it to a PROPAGANDA, listen to his commentary in the end…to Demarket Nigeria🇳🇬 even the questions he was asking the CEO, was to drive Investors away from Nigeria…Who suffers in the end? Nigerians
@@Mkym365He did a great job. The people making dump decisions are the ones to blame for the woes of Nigerians. We need a lot of these videos to expose the injustices going on there so that other people will be aware of the salvages running the country so they don’t make the same mistakes. When you work for money and a bunch of pigs wake up and ruin the fruits of your labor, you will know how painful it is.
@Mkym365 You are not honest with the truth. So those foreign investment that left the country since Apc led administration took power was as a result of these independent investigations which could have been swept over the cardboard. People like Landmark should have been celebrated coming to invest in a country where security is not guaranteed, where law is compromised and system that does not promote private business
You mean ,the issue of building on government land demarcated for a highway over 20 years ago,charging peoples fee for access to the beachfront that was free b4 landmark
@@Mkym365 you know the mindset of your typical Ghanaians where nigetia is concerned, the earliest we accept most of these people dont wish Nigeria and Nigerians well the better for us xenophobia and covert Nigeria hatred is widespread
One thing i noticed in this video is wickedness. 😢😢😢😢
No pity na
He built on the shore line is that legal? Also he’s charges poor Nigerians $4500 annal fee to use nature. You people love propaganda
