Where?
If in a government estate in Lagos, you need not worry.
If it is in Lagos, I am used to most of them cos of my vast construction network in Lagos.
If its on the Island, then you are talking about my pals. I relate with them even well especially the ones in Lekki and Ajah.
But whatever the case, you must be ready to part with something. Give to Caesar, What's Caesar's.
My usual advice to my clients is that; When you buy a plot of Land, set aside a given amount for Omo oniles and pretend its a part of the Land's cost.
You do that for estate agents, why can't you do it for omo oniles.
I can only promise you a good bargain.

you definitely sound like one of them.

You make me laugh
Maybe you are still a Baby in the Industry. Your Boss does all the negotiations.
When you grow in the industry, you will understand what I mean.
Mind you, I'm a PM. I do lots of negotiations.
I don't have to sweet talk the poster. This is real. This is Lagos. I sincerely wish I can do business without their interference. But my dear, I'm living it up.
Take my advice. You will end up doing so!

You will pay less if you familiarize urself with any of their leaders at the foundation stage rather than wait for them to embarrass you, your contractors, workmen and then ask for more.

I had a client once who was a military man. The site was a no go area for omo oniles. At first we thought it was sweet, but later, no body was willing to do business with us or work for us there. No suppliers, tippers etc.

We later found out that they were molesting any body (such as sand suppliers) who brings anything to that site, Not in that env. but in the suppliers respective place of business.

Guy, we had to succumb without the knowledge of the Client, so as to achieve our target.

So my guy, before I gave that type of advice, My eyes don cccccccccccccc

Thx a million!

The land is in Ofada, a village after Mowe.

any more info?
