Hi guys,

Since i criticized the OPIC and Ogun State Gov. for not been transparent on their New Makun City allocation, its only fair that i update you on progress thus far.

I finally got an allocation letter two day ago after three months of calling and emailing and sending my agent after them in abeokuta. Thank God i paid in full; those that were paying installment are told that there is no more land and should come for refund if they are not ready to pay in full now. That wasn't the original deal!!! its so not fair to them. I told my cousin then, that its better to pay upfront. by doing so, you will have a leverage to make demands if they are not forthcoming. Now he might not get any land after tying is money down for months. I hope OPIC sticks to their promise because they are the one that proposed the installment and promised they will reserve lands for them.

Whats next? we have 18months to work on the lot, but haven't given us our survey yet. Hope that comes in on time and the building permit are process within reasonable amount of time for allotted to meet the time set out. Good luck to me and others out there that bought into the project.

Lastly, if you bought into New Makun City, please make yourself known, it will be nice to form a group for the estate and pursue common interest via the group. Peace!!!

Thanks for the compliment; you will also be able to build your own house by God’s grace (if you have not done so already), AMEN. For now it’s just the last leg that one is trying to wrap up.

You see the Journey in the last 18 months has been very challenging, interesting, good learning curve and I can only thank God. You know people like us don’t like noise on top kobo-kobo project, and when you look at what Otedola et all are doing, you know we are tiny when compared.

I am thinking of writing something called “Building from the diaspora”. It’s a summary of my experience so far. I have advised other friends especially from diaspora about building in Nigeria. It’s definitely not for the faint hearted. The pleasure is when it is all done, may God give us the strength, good health to enjoy what we have worked hard for and keep us away from those whose sole aim is to do evil/ cheat others using their deceptive techniques. AMEN

So far

Wow!!! This is inspiring. I give you Beyonce hand grin grin. You have tried a lot at this stage. The finishing is superb. I am at the other side of the road to your side and 90% of the work were done by Nairalanders too. I plan to document mine too when the time comes but that will be early next year. I will connect with you for some vendors you can recommend for some tasks.
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by mavverick: 10:37am On Nov 09, 2016
Wow

Glad to know you are close by, really good to know that.
Let me know if you need anything, learnt so much that If I was ever to build another house, I expect 70% less stress and at least deliver 95% of what I actually want . I have learnt that in Nigeria, if you want them to build you a car, you need to tell them it needs 4 tyres, an engine, a wiper, a steering, bumper, ignition. Just never assume there are standards grin grin

@Haji/3strikes/Egun

(In an American voice) What happened mehn ? Not really liked the 2 candidates, but i felt Hilary was the better of the 2 bad apples.

How could Trump get into office ?

Was it that Email Fiasco ?
Was it the lack of black votes ?
The Rust belt (Pennsylvania, Ohio, Detroit) white working class (Blue Collar workers) getting angry ?
What happened to the Latinos ? and how could Trump have won Florida. I mean this state is not Kansas or Alabama !
Or like Brexit, people secretly liked Trump but would keep quiet or pretend to be Hilary so as to be politically correct ?


I dont think he will do half of what he promised anyway, its not how it works.

Its a tricky one, remember how Obama had the 2 houses for the first 2 years and done nothing with it. Paul Ryan didn't like Trump, hows that going to play out now that he has to work with him.

2 years is not a long time in politics, only felt like yesterday when young Obama came into office, that's 8 years ago now. In Yoruba, "Aiye n'lo, a den to "
Let small scandal happen now, which trust me there will be plenty of, before you know it, there will be mid term elections and he might not hold the 2 houses again. Obama I felt was a missed opportunity. Any legacy the guy put for ground, Trump will destroy it guaranteed !
