I went to buy sand for a building project in Buguma, rivers state recently on a saturday.
I looked at the exercise book where they wrote daily payments. Only that saturday I counted 2.8 million. Selling simple sand.
Assume profit is only 1million out of that and multiply it by 300 days. And that was a saturday.
Then repeat what you just said.

leofab: ... How many people work there? And can you figure out the tax they do pay? Stopping supporting whats not right...

Manchidede: Their are lots of estates in the FCT but these are the most expensive ones. But are they the best?


PEGGY’S POINTE
Peggy’s Pointe located along Aguiyi Ironsi Street, adjacent Maitama General Hospital, has been identified as the most expensive estate in Abuja.
The occupants pay rent in dollars, as the owners of the estate do not accept payments in our local currency. The rent per annum for a three-bedroom flat in the estate is between $70, 000 and $100, 000.

THE ANCESTORS COURT
The Ancestors Court is another estate worth mention. Located in the highbrow Maitama area of the FCT, the street from the gate into the
estate is lined on both sides by golden palm trees and flowers. The environment is serene and very homely. Rent and property sales transactions are also done in foreign currency here. For instance, rent for a three-bedroom flat is US$55, 000 per annum. Residents also pay a service fee of N2million for the facilities and services that give this estate an edge over others in terms of grandeur and luxury.

BANK OF INDUSTRY ESTATE
Bank of Industry Estate is located in Asokoro, another plush area in the FCT. There, accommodation is as high as what is obtainable in Maitama and Wuse 2. A house with closed circuit television (CCTV), generator and other attractive amenities goes for as much as $50, 000 to $65, 000 per annum. The area is mostly occupied by expatriates and high net worth Nigerian professionals.

Eastern Nigeria that everyone ran away from. Niger state, maiduguri, so many parts of the North. Villages in the SW. You people don't seem to know that these places still exist until you spend $1000000 on rents at Abuja.

Decryptor: #TeamSunnyVilleEstates

I relocated close to SunnyVille estate at Galadimawa for about a week now and the experience is awesome. Almost 24 hour power supply and water supply. Still checking out the chicks though

Dangote and adenuga are billionaires in dollars, 1 billion dollars = 160 billion naira, you're going too far.
Go to alaba market,
Sit near any popular shop.
Hop the whole day and try and calculate what they are making.
Not every lady needs a mans money, that's prostitution, ladies can make their own clean money.

cool318:
So from your own Business point of view , you are encouraging young ladies to engage in full time prostitution to enable then buy or rent a 65k USD house in Abuja, if not prostitution, how then can you make that money??

cool318:

Point of correction, the money accrued from selling of sand in those communities, is a community money shared among clans, villages, not an invidualistic money, Go to Ogbakiri in Emohua LGA and ask questions, pls don't say what you are not sure of. There is no biz in Nigeria u can do to get that amount of money to rent those houses unless u are a CABAL, or "u are doing the needful".
Thank you

Specialist900: don't generalise. There are businesses that'll give you that and more. What we should be discussing is if such business people will be willing to pay such amounts on rent.



We should also note that there are people who live year in, year out in transcorp Hilton (resident guest) and they spend more than those amounts paying for a room yearly.

I tire o, I'm scared-of the way we think in this country.

bigx:

80% of the "Rich People" and "Rich Friends" I know started with nothing, ZERO.

If you want to make it in Nigeria you would, when you stop complaining about the "conditions" you would realise every single Bad thing in this country is a problem waiting for someone to solve it and get paid for it (money in the Bank). Pick a problem and figure out how to solve it today, your assignment, your Business Idea.
