Was the injunction you acquired in January indefinite one. So why can’t you tell Ghanaians for how long your so called injunction is. Instead of just being deliberately blank. You were give specific grace time. So if you don’t move, then you get what got. You Ghanaians don’t do the right think, then when you’re found wanting you begin to lie to fool the public. TELL US EXACTLY WHAT THE GRACE PERIOD IS THAT THE COURT GAVE YOU. Crazy.

Nonsense. The state leases land all the time. What stopped the trade fair company from stopping the construction? This govt was in power 5 years ago.
Before you can build there you must have a lease from govt. Which they did acquire.
This is same reason why macdan has a lease at the airport terminal in KIA.
PEOPLE develop on govt land all the time. This does not seem to be a security matter if you ask me.
Also recall that Raymond Archer had his big property destroyed by this same trade fair people under the guise of redeveloping it when his lease expired and govt side abruptly refused to renew.

Till date no redevelopment has happened on the land where factories were destroyed.
Govt was taking rent and tax from them. They had employees. Now no rent, no tax, no jobs and land is barren too

You got it wrong, dear! This is not politics. Why would you invest on a land that you knew you had no title? Did he conduct a search? Did tge search result say the land was free from all encumbrances and that he could have altitle to the land before paying tge asking price? Why are Ghanaians politicizing everything? Some of you hide under social media cover and write as if you have no understanding of the article or you are bankrupt of commonsense. This is not politics. if you fail to do due diligence be sure to lose your investment.

Firstly, I will say, 5 million dollars, 4 or 5 years ago is not 20 to 25 million dollars in today's money. If so, then cars costing 40,000 dollars back then would be 160 to 200 thousand dollars today. That is a big lie. Even ...

Firstly, I will say, 5 million dollars, 4 or 5 years ago is not 20 to 25 million dollars in today's money. If so, then cars costing 40,000 dollars back then would be 160 to 200 thousand dollars today. That is a big lie. Even the Cedi has not inflated to that level over that time.
That being said, when will this secret illegal demolition of property under the protection of Nationan Security, end in this country. This is lawlessness by the government.

We are talking about a landed property and you are talking about cars? What a fool! If you had bought a plot of land for 100k cedis and can now sell it for 400 - 500k, u would understand better.

My friend this is exagération. Even in Cedis a property bought 4yrs ago will not fetch you 4 or 5 times the price. In dollars you will be lucky to have more than double the price.

Don't display your ignorance.
Landed properties appreciate with time while machines, including vehicles, depreciate even when they are parked. In this case, we are talking about COMMERCIAL LANDED PROPERTY, with higher and faster appreciation rate. Besides, being a commercial property, there are constant upgrades and improvements being done not only on the superstructure but also equipments and facilities inside.

Actually, even landed property is depreciable. Almost all land in Ghana is leasehold land. It's only freehold land that is not depreciated. If you have a hotel building on a land with 50byears lease you must deoreciate it over 50 years but if the family belongs to your family and you can own it forever no depreciation. Even with this, the building component must be deoreciated.
The good news about property, esp when held as investment property is that it's often revaluated. It is the constant revaluation to fair value prices that makes it seem like there is no depreciation but there is.
In countries like USA where homes are sold and bought daily, you will see some periods when value of houses will drop for few months to years and then go up some period. So revaluation can lead to upward and download values though mostly it's up

Math is hard for you ghanaman. You must not own, build, or contribute to Ghana. Cost of labor has gone way up, Cost of materials in Ghana way up, Cost of moving money, taxes, levies fuel etc. Cedi depreciation, Cost of loans, taxes. Did I mention taxes?

While it is painful, we must also understand the spate of encroachment on lands at Dam Sites, GBC Adjangote, Ghana Army and University of Ghana. This Trade Fair demolition has been in the news for sometime now and I remember how a packaging company was knocked down as well. If all the necessary legal means were exhausted, nothing can stop the rightful owners from taking back their land. Especially when the encroaching party wants to use eye trong or tries to intimidate the owners, there’s no mercy for cripple.

Personally, I’m happy a Son of Ga-Adangbe has made it to the point of moving in the lane of Kwame Despite and Ibrahim Mahama. There’s nothing wrong with NDC making rLG. If McDan’s business proposal is favoured, let him have it. We can’t sit behind and say why was the Dome demolished when we have zero knowledge of the circumstances. In Accra, a piece of land can belong to 30 Families who are all impostors. If the rightful owners had given the land out in accordance with the statutes, no one could demolish the property. As the name suggests, it’s TRADE FAIR SITE.

It is good you mentioned McDan. I know part way of his life to riches now. I admire him for almost 30 years, he built his empire from a Very humble beginnings. With this experience he should know it would have been very and extremely hard for him to grow if others pulled him down like he is behind many other things just like this demolitions. At least, this is the second he has done in similar circumstances. He should be careful as a business person. Making someone unemployed and or poor is a dangerous action for anyone to consider against their fellow.

As to why people would willfully build on Lands they know doesn't belong to them and for that matter have no title beats my fucking imagination. You had this colossal amount of money to invest and you did it recklessly carelessly. Who sold the land to you? Did you conduct a search? And did the search result indicate that the land was free from all encumbrances thereby giving you title to the land? The fact that you claimed you went for injunction to give you time to relocate tells me you knew you had mo title to the land. You acted foolishly and here you are today. Go back to those you bribed at the Lands Commission and the chiefs for your monies. I hope you have learned the bitterest of lessons. For those who are reading this demolishing, learn from this and be wise. The biggest headache in land acquisition in Ghana is the Lands Commission. They connive and allow these mess to go on after taking their bribes. Then later , the investor loses his investment. Unfortunately past and present governments cared less about these deals and rot at the Lands Commission. All state Lands are vested in the state. And the records at Lands Commission is clear. As long as the government will not prosecute these crooks at the Lands Commission, the rot will go on unabated. Be wise with your investments. Don't be a victim!
