OP, those of us that can afford it are not complaining.

If the rent is too expensive, park your things and go to your village.

lynpetra: It's really pathetic to listen to the tales of homeless people in Abuja.Some complain bitterly of how scarce it is to get affordable homes here in the heart of the North.Such Irony!As my aunt drove me around this evening,I can't help to notice so many empty duplexes,bungalows,self contains,Block of flats around."Auntie all this houses na who them dey build am for?"I asked.Beautiful empty houses,several still under construction.Greed na bastard!An employed average Nigerian can never afford the price of only a Dog post in these houses!!Infact,who are those building this houses?Why build a house to leave it empty for years because no customer can pay the prize?Isn't it selfish,foolish and inhumanly wicked?Why not make it affordable as it is available?The only reason business isn't booming in Abuja is partly because plenty houses are empty,as a lot of youths live in places like Iyanya,Maraba,Kubwa,and the outskirts of Abuja.

I know our Govt system is made for the rich,we don't mean anything to them.Living in well built houses doesn't fit the average Nigerian.As they loot our money,every seconds of everyday,every minute of every hour,every day of every year,stealing big,dumping it here and there,hiding them by building so many Estates,Shopping Malls,Markets,Blocks of Flats,ALL FOR NOTHING!!!EMPTY AS THE YEARS GOES....They continue to hide this stolen money on properties and lands,some of which are taken by force from indigenes.....



Mmmh...God is watching.Still waiting for that revolution,surely it will come.It can only take time.

eya sorry, i no hw u feel.

Then they are achieving their. They don't want Abuja to be like Lagos

Aggrippa: my sista this is a serious matter o....i have some friends in the building proffession who update me on a weekly basis about polithiefcians such as senators, govt , ministers, other civil servants and the contracts to build private homes and estates, mansions running into billions of naira, they handle for them. if you hear the amount these kleptomaniacs spend on their private properties your ears will tingle. if a bizman such as Dangote spend so much to develop such property its not an issue cos its his money. this no joking matter seriously, i also noticed the population of Abuja environs has significantly dwindled cos peep cant afford the expensive accomodation. the less population isn`t good for business. this is why Lagos is ahead in almost all ramifications.

How do you plan to determine the true lower and middle class? We have seen cases like yours where one man purchases up to 1000 units of these low cost houses and resell to the real lower and middle class at a higher price range.

kayswag100:

God bless u!!!

I was bitter initially when I stayed in abj and my house got demolished. If you can't afford the expensive houses, move on! !!

I then realised that it's all about the benjamins baby. ..

My office building (close to force had quaters) was leased at 1.2bill for 4yrs and ppl still paid.

d op needs to know that all cities have deserted houses/overpriced estates. abj is just an example

1.2bill? Haba! May God punish you for this outrageous lie...

Madam a friend of mine acquired a two room self con for 500,000 houses re not that cheap in lagos

lynpetra:

Madam,I am not generalizing here.Ofcourse there are places like Lugbe,Kubwa,Gwarimpa, where a lot of people live,even at that its still expensive.A good self con in Gwarimpa goes from 400k,an amount you can pay for a good flat in some places in Lagos.

lynpetra: ...because plenty houses are empty,as a lot of youths live in places like Iyanya,Maraba,Kubwa,and the outskirts of Abuja.

Iyanya is now an estate developer

kayswag100:

Another fallacy! !!

oga, it's evident your aunt either took you to a wrong part of town or you know NARRING about abj.

All cities in the world have over priced estates with empty houses. GST 102 thot us that it's wrong to generalize based on insufficient sample.

Yet another fallacy! !!

Ever heard of equality for all? Stop the discrimination Mr and never refer to fellow humans as animals.

emmy-richie:


1.2bill? Haba! May God punish you for this outrageous lie...

I won't stoop so low exchanging insults with u.

What would I gain by giving wrong information?

There's an office building (now vacant) beside Protea Hotel at Asokoro. Find out who the former occupants were and how much they leased the building from 2009 to 2013.

Again, I wouldn't trade insults with u!!!!

Op look at your oily face wetin you rub?

lynpetra:



My brother It's really pathetic!!I mean from Apo,to along Airport,Lokogoma,etc you see lot of empty Estates,NOBODY!!NOT EVEN A DEAD LIZARD!!!

Very painful,dose rich pple livin dere re all selfish idiot.

emmadan: una no dey hear?abuja isn't built for the average.if its too hard for you,pack your bag and go.we dnt want abuja to be like lagos.

This one dey nassarawa satellite town dey form .....

Dreyl: Op look at your oily face wetin you rub?

You no dey chop oil

Abuja wasn't designed for the poor. It is what they say repeatedly. Whichever way u look @ it, that was the plan from the onset when Abuja was designed. Keep the poor (security men, cooks, cleaners) in the outskirts. And let them come into town to work and go back to where they came from. The primary purpose of the Light rail system of abuja is to do that effectively.

Even the current FCT minister's policies don't favour the poor. No bike, no buses within the City centre etc. It reflects the plan of the govt to keep abj for the wealthy.

@ Topic: the construction of those buildings provide daily livelihoods for a lot of nigerians. Yes, the money is usually stolen. But would u rather the money is taken to a swiss bank to waste away? At least when they put it in construction, it trickles down to the people.

As for the buildings unoccupied, the owners will soon lose out when the national housing scheme kicks off. (provided they don't hijack it)

[quote author=kamez]Blame it on the cost of getting a land in those areas.. Would u buy land for 50millio, build a house and rent it out for 500k per annum? How many centuries would it take u to recoup ur capital? Remember real estate is a business and like every oda buisness, the aim is to start making profit ad quickly as possible[/quote

you're right, OP and others should look at it this way.
you spend N75m to develop a property(land purchase and development cost) if they rent it for N2m/yr, the capital would be recovered in 3+yrs and thats excluding maintanance and other petty cost. In this case(lets say the developer put down all the money without assistance from financial institutions, which is a rare case) its not too bad then imagine if he borrowed money from the banks with their unfavourable high interest rates. Do the math, if you were a developer, how much would you place your properties considering this few issues i mentioned.
havent even talked about many other difficulties in property development in Nigeria.

Osas001:


I agree wit u!

u dont have to quote the whole story of any op.before u comment...use common sense....liquid content only!!!

Abuja is a capiatl city...which capital city or in fact which city allows houses and developments to be built and left unoccupied? Cities that I know of would make moves to take over ownership of such buildings and either sell them or have thwm occupied as affordable housing. Some cities do have many unoccupied houses but these are cities that are on the decline mainly due to their main sources of occupation e.g car manufacturing plant leaving the city or because of violence and lawlessness....unoccupied because of people moving out.

It's not only Abuja. Go to Rayfield in Jos. The owners are living in every other place yet these houses are empty. Some have just the guardman and/or his family. Very pathetic! GREED!

1 mansion= 20 blocks lowcost house
