Bakare Attacks Lagos Over N72m Land Charge by jidsoon(m): 4:08pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
Founder, Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare has attacked Nigeria’s Lagos State Government for collecting N72 million from him for change of ownership of a parcel of land he bought from the Power Holding Company of Nigeria, PHCN. Bakare, who spoke in Lagos, Southwest Nigeria, said he bought the parcel of land from PHCN to build a residential estate to make more people own their houses, saying he was shocked when the state government asked him to pay N72 million. He said after paying the money, the government was yet to release documents of the transaction to him. The preacher stated that such money was unnecessary as he had already paid for the land and that this was one of the evils brought about by the Land Use Act, LUA, which he said should be repealed. “The Land Use Act is the enemy of progress in our country. Due to greed for land, they imposed it in our constitution and they are smiling to the bank every day. Citizens are not having access to land or they will pay through their nose. “Even the Certificate of Ownership, whatever Lagos State Government calls it, it happened to me as a person. I bought a land from PHCN to develop real estate because Lagos State cried out that more houses and needed for people. “After getting the C of O from PHCN, Lagos State says I have to obtain their documents and charged me N72 million extra on that parcel of land. Then you now enact a useless law asking that in a democracy, a tenant must pay one year rent maximum,” he said. According to Bakare, “so, if I go to the bank to borrow for 23 percent and I had to pay back the money either through sale or rent, how do I realise it? You can see that nothing here seems to have value. We make laws without considering the needs of the people.” Bakare said laws were being formulated in the country without having the interest of the masses in mind. “Not all government laws are bad, Nigerians must rise to take their destiny in their own hand, reject an oppressive government, reject the 1999 constitution, if not this constitution will kill the nation,” he added. Bakare also said it’s unfortunate that the nation has inept leadership, adding that “we have people who are promoted beyond their mental capacity operating in corridors of power. So, the worst of us are presiding over the best of us. It is shame on our nation.” http://news.naij.com/20230.html 3 Likes |

The charges is for the Consent which is 6% of the cost of the Land/Property, it depends on each State. In some states 5% of the value of improvement goes to Land and 1% goes to Board of Internal Revenue. In order to legalize the transaction (Assignmnet - Change of Ownership) there is need to get the Consent of the governmnent. Lagos state has not done anything wrong. 3 Likes |

The problem is some people are always too hasty to make a conclusion. It is normal to pay a charge befor ecollecting C of O. It happens everywhere no peculiar to Lagos. It only shows the portion of land bought is much. 1 Like |

The land use act is detrimental to housing developmental,in a state like Lagos that is overpopulated,measures shuold be taken to encourage people,and not burden them with multiple fee. Another negative to the Lagos state Govt. 2 Likes |

Re: Bakare Attacks Lagos Over N72m Land Charge by Remii(m): 8:29pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
lol, that happens in Lagos everyday. Perfection fee is 12% of value so property of N25m attracts cost of N3m apart from other small small charges, yet some banks will not finance unperfected property. |

This is not ONLY funny but double funny. I'm glad he has risen to acknowledge that LAGOS GOVT is nothing BUT FRAUD. Who pays such enormous amount in fees for change of ownership? How do you encourage development? I wish other governors where up to their toes in development, Lagos isn't healthy anymore, this is what I call financial desperado...AT ALL COST POSSIBLE. 3 Likes |

Re: Bakare Attacks Lagos Over N72m Land Charge by lawyer(m): 8:52pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
These are half truths! For it to be 72 million, the land must be in a very high profile area and the square meters must be in so many hectares for that land before it came to that price and am sure the price he would sell 1 plot or property after he is done will surpass N72 million per plot. So he should state the area exactly and rhe square meters before we criticize Lagos state or not! 3 Likes

For this singular act of criticizing Lagos State Government, you will be inducted into National Hall of Shame this year. Prof. Achebe will be given a better treatment than Pastor Bakare for daring to speak against deity that is worshiped and adored by his people. In short, this Pastor should be deported to where he comes from. Must Bakare build in Lagos State? TechRev: |

So he should state the area exactly and rhe square meters before we criticize Lagos state or not! You have my thumbs up for that. By the way, the pastor should have told us how much exactly he bought the land for the Govt charge of 5% to have amounted to 72million naira. If my maths does not fail me, I think the land should worth 14,400,000,000. i.e. 1.4billion. Aba, pastor? So, you don't wanna pay tax on that huge sum, how will the wealth trickle down? See how you come open your yansh! Here is the Maths, Change of Subject: 5/100 *(K) = 72,000,000 (multiply 5 by k) 5K/100 = 72,000,000 5K = 72,000,000*100 (multiply both sides by 100) 5K = 7,200,000,000 K = (7,200,000,000)/5 (divide both sides by 5) K = 1,440,000,000 3 Likes |
