Said the right thing. I wonder the kind house people sell at Lekki and Ajah 50million, 100 million. where do they buy their own material? I house they develop with between 5m to 10 , they now put between 50 t 100 million. I built a beautiful  4 bedroom in-suite with 2 living rooms with 2BQ of RM and parlor with toilet and kitchen in-suite on mainland and I never spent  the amount people come here to quote. Sometimes, I wonder if the call block house. How much is block? even at N130 naira a block, 7,000 blocks of 9'' will be about N910,000. You buy cement, 200 bags at  even N2,000 , that will be 600,000.Now tell me how these developers get their quotation from and put house at 50 million to 100 million?

I have attached 2 letters from lekki Gardens mgt on electricity reconnection to the national grid after court order and NERC ruling were served on them. Victory at last.

Re: "Lekki Gardens Estate" How Genuine Is It? by guardiola: 9:18am On Oct 22, 2015
Residents are to get inverters....
No individual generator, and no communal one too

Does anyone know the state of electricity supply in any of their other estates? Is the ruling by NERC a blanket rule covering all Lekki Gardens Estates or just LG phase 2 or 2 Estates as stated in the first letter?

I crave your indulgence . I don't see this as any form of victory at all. It will only lead to hardship and serious pollution in the estate. I am a home owner and I hope the residents know they have made a grave mistake with the disconnection of the electricity. It wasn't funny at all to have your neighbor run generator while you are trying to sleep or think.

When It all started in december, I had to move my family to a hotel for the rest of our stay when they cut off electricity. I am deeply hurt and sad. I need to put my home up for rent asap.

I was renting in 1004 and I can tell you we were paying more than that on electricity . Farapark pays #55/KW(enjoys 24hrs), Calton Gate pays 70/KW(they don't have 24hrs electricity)

These are the things I don't understand. A company is ripping you off, and instead of you to seek redress, you start blaming those who do so simply because you can afford to pay their exorbitant charges. Look at 1004 estates. People are moving out everyday, mostly due to the high service charges. The residents also took the managers of the estate to court at one point in time, over different issues. sad

How many people live in Farapark?? More than one-third of the estate is still unoccupied many years after it has been fully completed. I know so many folks who have sold their flats in there, plus the fact that it is so far from town and they have to go through horrible Ajah traffic to get there. shocked

Guy, please get off your high horse. People want value for money. C'est fini. If the charges for electricity were only like 10% - 15% higher than the rates from the Disco, no one would complain. undecided People who earn their money through honest, hard work do not like being ripped off.

Well you have your own opinion and I have mine . And it sure does not make one less of the other. I still have my reservations with the utility disconnection. What will happen if there is no power to pump water amongst other things. What you are looking at is connected to so many things . Security will be an issue. I experienced it in Dec when this whole thing started. No light , water and the security was no where. I sure didn't feel so safe under that condition. There was no water to flush or cook . it was depressing and I had to move my family out .

You may have your own point and I have mine. And you will agree there are thousand of us who work hard and honest who want to be able to enjoy their hard earned money as well. 1004 is soldier go Soldier come , The rent keeps going up every year and people are paying to secure the accommodation . If you bought LG 2 for investment purposes , you sure are in trouble with this new development. I am all about getting value for my money.

Just because others are doing it doesn't make it right. The truth will always prevail though it may take awhile. It doesn't make a business sense to run an estate on generator alone, can u tell how stable the so called generator has been in the past 1 month.
Well, the way we earn our money is different so we can't spend it thesame way, 55 naira/ kwh is too expensive for me and is a rip off when I ve an option of 17.50 naira/ kwh, if u r OK with it so be it. Enjoy it while it last. Good luck

All I want is peace of mind and nothing more. You are right LG business model is very bad and I sometime wonder about the caliber of people occupying their management position. I can not comment on situation of things for the past one month as I have been away since end of September. My problem with the whole idea is most of the residents have no plan B. I for one does not have Inverter or generator because i didn't see a need for it . What will happen if he (Richard/LG) refuses connect the resident to Nepa ? I doubt he will want to pay to run electricity cable into the estate. It will be nice to get it !7.50 but residents are not being proactive with their approach. What is the way forward? Something similar happened in december when the EXCO's and residents told Richard to connect us to Nepa that he should remove the generator. It became ugly and for more than three days there was no light and water, it was crazy!

Proper planning should be in place by the residents if such were to occur. As far as I know and I stand to be corrected, there was no plan in place to tackle the water and electricity problem in the after math of disconnection by LG. There was talk of bringing IPS into the estate to provide electricity in december , not sure that was still in place. Nobody is commenting or getting Richard to provide the basic amenities we have subscribed to. In the whole of the estate only Road 1 has street light which is very bad. Security should be a priority as well.

I wonder at the lack of comments from subscribers/occupants of LG Horizon series estates.

Some of the estates are already occupied and we are not hearing as much coming from them

The following pictures were taken today from a bird's view

The other time i mentioned the progress made on the beach-front New Horizon II, someone asked if I work for Lekki Gardens.

Well no, I just try to get to the root of the reason people still buy from Lekki Gardens if all there are, are all these bitter complaints.

The following are some pictures from there today...

The cost of homes in Richmond Gate are like twice or thrice the cost of homes, in Lekki Gardens.

That is not entirely true.

Semi-detached 5 bedroom duplex in LG New Horizon 2 is about 50 Million naira, a 4 bedroom maisonette on 3 floors at Richmond Gate is 55 Million Naira.

Fully detached at LG New Horizon 2 sold for about 70 million, while the only fully detached unit at Richmond Gate with about 7 rooms with a visitor's suite, fully finished with steam bath and all the trimmings sold for 95 million naira...

hmmmmm; all these intimidations and oppressions from Richard Nyong is NOT the way to do business at all. It seems Richard Nyong got his business model wrong somewhere and is trying BY ALL MEANS to make money/ profit and as such has resorted to intimidation, corruption, use of force, manipulation, deception, lies etc. Trust me, he's getting away with it because of our broken system.

Let me play some devil's advocate on this thread..........You talk like someone on a personal vendetta against Richard, is there anything more you are not telling us? I am not holding forth for lekki gardens imperfections but i expect more of their subscribers to complain. Secondly,you could also be an agent of his competitors in the real estate industry because you seem to be fixated on all he isn't getting right.

Mind you i knew Richard one on one when he was living around Egbeda before he even dreamt of venturing into real estate,so am curious to also know what went wrong. I personally want his success and wish him the best.

I see. I apologise for my last summation. I had earlier received info from an agent that Richmond Gate's prices were 75 million for a 4-bedroom. Can you post the link to Richmond Gate website? And do they have 2 & 3-bedroom flats?
