[size=14pt]Nigerian Government House In San Francisco worth $2.8 Million, Left Vacant For Years[/size]
By staff

When Serena Ventura purchased her home 22 years ago in affluent Presidio Heights, she never expected she’d have to deal with blight and hazardous living — let alone squatters in an abandoned building next door owned by a foreign government.

A security guard watches the Jackson Street property that is owned by the Nigerian government-


The neighboring property, located at 3247 Jackson St., is owned by the Republic of Nigeria and was once the home of the consulate general. The problem for Ventura and her neighbors has been getting in touch with the Nigerian government to maintain and secure its vacant 4,200-square-foot home.

After years of complaining, Ventura only received a response this month. Now a private security guard stands over the property to keep out the squatters Ventura says have occasionally taken up residence at the posh home, which is valued at $2.8 million.

Why open another embassy in San Fransisco when Nigeria already has embassies in Washington, Atlanta, New York & all these embassies & its staffs are as incompetent as Nigeria & its presidents & his crew. These all shows how wasteful, incompetent & dysfunctional Nigeria is. What a joke of a country angry

What do you mean?. Didn't Buhari propose a Nigerian embassy in his state when he was the head of state in Nigeria?

Who told you that? Nigeria has 2 embassies, at least the ones I know of in D.C and New York.
Last April my fiancee wanted to come down and we called those embassies for visa app & God knows how many times. And the day we got lucky, only to be told that the key people have gone to Nigeria to support GEJ.
Google em and try calling them if dem go pick am at the first ring. You go even shame when you see our website (and dem go tell you how many million dollars dem take build the crap).

Oh come on, even in Nigeria alone the French have two embassies, one on Queens Drive and the other in Asokoro in Abuja. Same goes for Brazil who have at least three in France.
