This is the assumption that Lagos state use to bully people building in Lagos State. When I had to get planning approval last year in Lagos, I was billed 1.5m after presenting my 3 year tax clearance from FCT. I was told to write to the chairman of LIRS but I know it will be a long route. I contacted someone close to the governor who got in touch with chair of LIRS. Of course they changed the assessment and agreed that my FCT tax clearance was sufficient. This shouldn't have to be, what of if i don't know any one I would have been double taxed. Mind you my monthly tax before i voluntarily retired last year December is enough to pay a senior civil servant monthly. Now they still do 5% withholding tax on all my consultancy fees and I am expected to file to pay more by year end on other sources of income.

Those who pay tax in this country are often over taxed. You pay PAYE, land use charges, VAT on every purchase, all sorts of levies by LGA people, pay tax on even on interest from savings you have in your account. Efforts should be to expand the tax dragnet and not over taxed the few that pay tax
somehow:


A tax officer told me that the building tax in Lagos is dependent on the location and structure just as I said before.

Confirmed from 2 other officers from different tax offices in Lagos, afterall they had nothing to gain from me, so why would they say something not true?

I will stop here though and let others that went through similar situation share their experience.

Happy Sunday to us all.

Very annoying.

Only 500k was reduced from what I eventually paid plus the 3 years tax certificates I tendered.

Was also told to write the LIRS chairman.

This country gives you more reason to just pack up and leave for good.

Is this brand different from Senwei? Used Senwei without issues, even transferred it to one of my project sites. Very good brand.

Lagos State runs an agbero government. No where is this more apparent than in the build industry. They have multiple agencies in the building space. Each of these agencies milk you to the highest level. Planning approval, safety commission approval, labscal approval and stage certification, area boys money, omo onile money, LGA approval. Plus several officials in these agencies that you have to give money for them to do their work after you have paid official fees. I built in FCT without paying anybody kobo aside approved fees.

Polystyrene Parapet is made of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), It is a new invention in building construction that is very light in weight, cost effective, beautiful and highly durable (it remains intact with the building throughout the span of such building i.e if the building is not intentionally demolished and the building does not collapse itself, nothing would ever happen to Polystyrene Parapet). Polystyrene Parapet saves you from the stress of buying log of woods, Iron rods reinforcements and spending unnecessary money on heavy concrete.

Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) is Thermal, Electrical and Acoustic insulator, that is, it does not transmit or conduct heat, electricity and sound.

Polystyrene Parapet is weather resistant, be it rain(waterproof), sunshine, wind, etc.

Polystyrene Parapet saves your building from unnecessary load/weight/pressure of heavy concrete around the perimeter of the house unlike the Cast-in-situ (Concrete) Parapet and Cement Pre-cast Parapet.

Polystyrene Parapet Installation saves time because the installation of Polystyrene Parapet on a typical 3 bedroom/4 bedroom bungalow or duplex is done within 3-4 days.
That is fair enough, right?

Another importance of Polystyrene is its flexibility.
Polystyrene Parapet Designs available in the factory are called "Standard Designs" but If you have any other design of your choice other than the Standard Designs on standby, it is very easy for us to mould such design for you in the factory, just that you would have to provide us with the sketches (dimensional drawing of that particular parapet design) and wait for a week for the production since it's not on standby in the factory. This type of designs are called "Special Designs".

NB: Special Designs (designs other than Standard Designs that are available in the factory) may or may not require extra cost. It depends on the complexity of the design you bring.

Standard Designs are delivered within 3-4 days after payment and installation starts immediately after delivery.

Special Designs are produced in the factory within a week after payment and delivered within 3-4 days after production. Installation starts immediately after delivery.

Kindly note that Polystyrene Parapet does not stop you from doing any Roofing of your choice, be it Stone-coated (Gerrard) or Aluminium (Steptiles, Metcopo and Longspan) or any other type of Roofing of your choice.

After reading the details above, kindly chose a design with the size of your choice, then send me the Architectural Drawing of the building through WhatsApp, to: 09037397456
I need to pick the dimensions of the external walls of the building from it to prepare the quotation.
Also include the location of the project.

Kindly note that I base in Ibadan but I work nationwide and the one and only Quality Polystyrene materials production factory, where I order materials from is in Abuja.
Perhaps you or your delegate can not come to our factory in Abuja for physical confirmation and you want to make payment to me directly, you can place a WhatsApp video call with me, while you screen-record my face and our conversation for evidence before you make payment.

I have to state this because honestly, we are in a world full of scammers online these days and it has resulted to trust issues when it comes to online dealings with legit business owners. This is why I stated that a video call could be placed while you screen-record it before you make payment to me at all.

If I refuse to deliver your materials or get your job done after collecting payment, you should report me to the EFCC or any other appropriate authorities with my details, including the video.

Also, I supply and install Stone-coated and Aluminium Roofing Tiles nationwide.

Kind regards.
Thank you.

Blessing Ọláoyè.

I disagree with you with passion sir please explain to us which of those taxes are you not paying without cutting any Conner, which is impossible to cut illegal conners as a UK resident .
The question should be how did the government utilize the little taxis this citizens pay? The brother as a point in regards to double taxation.

Bros that generator is believed to 5.5 kva, our people make them write anything and brand on them. 7 years ago my friend call the manufacturer from US in China to make inquiries about that brand Sumac or sumic. They told us it was only one guy that import those generator to Nigeria then, the give him the guy Company name, phone, and offices address in Ikeja. He is surprise we get his information from China. I went to the guy office in Ikeja, he gives me little discount because we call the manufacture. I bought two of those generator, another friend bought 1 from him, it works well. it’s carry (1) 1.5 hp Ac (1hp Ac) refrigerator, water pump, and about 20 bulbs or so. Anything after that if field overload from the sound when running. It’s runs for 7 hours straight, stop let it rise for 3-5 hours then run it again. To have long lifespan from the generator it works for 4 years, before star have a problem. I just give it out. Note, not running like that for 4 years oo , some times. I may not need it for weeks. Another important thing people don’t pay attention to is Fuel consumed per hour, it is very very important when buying generator. I know many Nigerians don’t care about that because fuel is very cheap. It’s just like a car, if buy new car, you burn less gas per mileage than those good for nothing old Jeeps or truck as we call them. Do your research buy wisely.

They don't.

Most go into their private pockets.

Aside Govt officials, civil servants and private workers are some of the most corrupt beings in Nigeria.

Yes, another agency came and put a stop work mark on the fence and wall.. Didn't pay though because the official I already engaged said he was going to handle it.
