Lynpetra, hope say you no con see my house call am empty house because say when you pass nah only me dey inside... I will agree with your assertion partially but most of the houses i visited in Abuja in areas like Gwarimpa, (you know say nah big man area), you will not see anybody outside as you drive by. But call person wey you wan see for phone, the person go comot even with hin children. Those houses are occupied my sista.... |

i refuse to agree with the o.p. first, not only Abuja but anypart of Nigeria, are these same empty houses because the are highly priced. These is because the environment where these houses are built did no come easy. if i may ask how easy will it be to buy a land of over 50 million and then build structures just to rent it out for peanuts. from wuse to Asokoro, maitama to Garki down to Airport road the estates there cost money and that is y if anyone cant afford them, alieta, giri, mpape, zuba , karmo to dei dei awaits u. |

blaise26.abj:abi o .....thank you and God bless you! instead of mugufooly dumping the looted monies idly in swiss banks the reformists kleptomaniacs are beginning to invest the monies on properties which will surely trickle down to the people. great observation though. thats why the building proffessioners are still very much in business and waxing strong! |

This is to a largest extent due to inefficient tax system or taxation in this country. Luxury properties generate huge some of tax revenue for Government in advanced countries, which are used to enhance the wealth of the masses. But in case of 9ja, these luxuries evade taxes at will, the burden of tax is mostly felt by low or middle income earners. The sincerity of any govt towards its people can be easily judged through the use of weapon of tax to bridge the gap between the rich and poor. Empty mammoth estate buildings worth billions or trillions are also in advanced countries, but do you know how much they constitute to the pulse of governments in those countries through taxation? This is to those trying to justify the situation in Abuja and other cities in naija |

Your post shows you agree with the OP, she is just using Abuja as an example. But whats the marketability of those properties. Most big men would rather buy land and build their houses in Abuja, Than to pay millions renting overpriced properties. Most Abuja properly owners/developers are not smiling. Na ABOKI dey enjoy the house, thats were BK boyz were caught during the last raid. |

lynpetra: I believe you. Meanwhile the likes of ROSSIKE engage in false conspiracy theories as regards a similar issue, like this (Vivly ) in Angola. Oil money powering large estates people can't afford. I laugh when I see the price or the mortgage condition in some of them. These folks surely are silly to think some Behind looking upper-middle class folk can afford to pay #95 million over a space of a year on lavish condo. |
Re: Abuja - A City Of Empty Houses by begwong: 12:53pm On Jan 05, 2014 |
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 Expantiate on the source of the #50 million first! |

emmatok: I know someone who know someone who is a politician who saud that 'raid on Boko boys' was a cover-up story for murder. It is a general who owns the house. I was told he hated the abokis using his uncomoleted building and had told them to leave but they didn't for obvious reasons. He got them killed and arranged a fancy (and neatly done IMO) story they were Boko boys. I myself chopped the lie before being told otherwise. Think about it, they didn't even have no weapons, it was in a safe part of Abuja not known for terrorism of the sort. BTW Boko boys usually operate from villages on the outskirts of cities and from there sneak in a city to bomb,nkill or steal. That issue needs to be followed up, but who will bell the cat ? |

Many Nigerians (my late mum included) have died thinking that way.

Abuja a city were 80% of it population works for d Gov directly while 10% get indirect jobs from Gov contracts while d remaining 10% do regular business which dey rely on dis 90% to survive. Now gov official loot money n build house in kubwa, Asokoro n Apo. D Asokoro n Apo is meant for d rich, famous n oda Gov officials so dey put a ridiculous price, so now if all d Gov who steals money build houses and with the stupidi*ty of most thieves they all put ridiculous prices since dey all now rely on dat 20% to come n rent, the kubwa own gets full n Apo n Asokoro remains empty cos "hey I be thief u be thief y leave in ur house wen I can build my own Too". Eventually the price drops cos wen retirement come dey start selling it like a bi*tch on heat. Let face it abuja is not a business state majority rely n wait on budget n contracts. Which after dey get it they take it out side abuja n give it to another state. Wait and see the story of d Rise and Fall of d Abuja housing market. 1 Like |

emmatok: True. The general selfish die. An uncomoleted property under my care is uncompleted we simply made the Hausas there pay cheap rent and look after the place. The man probably thought of the Hausa guys there as vermins. |

Like I said earlier, by the time we will be bying those mansions, they will be begging us to bring any amount cos they will be so desperate of money. Say like 500k and at most 1m.... |
Re: Abuja - A City Of Empty Houses by KiksAsso: 2:08pm On Jan 05, 2014 |
I forsee a situation where homeless people will begin to stay in those houses and once they occupy them, they will rather die than allow any body push them out. A form of revolution---- you know. |
