Lolz the best to be done to people of this nature is just to IGNORE. Those who can comprehend will get the information perfectly, even in the United State such scheme is in practise but when such idea is encouraged here some people will want to talk it down.

I see a Lagos that will extend just gesture to other basic needs to be paid back on long term loan.

Eko onibaje ooooo!!!

I don't know what the problem is with some people. You see 1.5m to 25m yet you capitalized on 25m and start saying rubbish. What kind of person is this? Do you ever want your country to compete globally?

If you see good thing abeg laud am, don't politicize everything.

If it's a good scheme people will give testimonies sooner or later. Stop killing development. Think about the future.
When the highest house they are mortgaging is a 3 bedroom flat, then it's on the high side. The fact that you can afford it doesn't mean every Lagosian can.

People are just hard to please! They are just born to criticize and find faults to the extent that they blind themselves intellectually. Now they ignored the 1.5 and jumped to the 25m.

As if they are ignorant of what it costs to build a house. Getting house from 1.5 in this present economy is very very cheap.

What we need to look at is how the Govt intends to give those houses so it won't go to the already rich people.

How much can you get a 3 bed room flat in Banana island? How much is a 3 bedroom flat in Agege? How much is a 3 bedroom flat in Ikorodu?

The fact that you can afford it doesn't mean every Lagosian can.

Can every American afford 3 square meals a day? Can every European afford 3 square meals a day? Can every Nigerian afford 3 square meals a day?

25 million? I thought the scheme was for low income earners. Where exactly do they expect them to get that kind of money.

I have always been against buying flats at exorbitant amounts because you don't own the land that the flat is on. if something happens to the flat then what do you do?



Please read well......its not an outright sale. There ones for N1.5million ,N2million etc..where u make a down payment of 5% and be paying 15,000 monthly for 10years......

Nowhere in the article did they mention Banana island. Most of the houses will be built in places where medium and low income Lagosians live. Even private owned estates in those places don't sell as much as 25 million on the average. There's an estate called County estate somewhere around Pen Cinema Agege and it's a pretty nice estate and they started selling flats as low as 7 million even though now it's about 20 million. This is a private estate we're talking about. Anything built by government is supposed to be considerably cheaper than those built by private setups if they're interested in helping the citizenry like they claim.

Why do you revel in distorting information.

1.5m to 25m.

You intentionally ignored the 1.5m and caused people to erroneously follow you down the dark path of 25m-scam-not-affordable...

Actually, the typical price that will be in high demand will be closer to N25 mil than N1.5 mil.

You want a home which involves entering gbese spread over 10 years. No right thinking person wants a 1 room apartment to raise a family in some shitty location that you'll be tied to for 10 years.

The right thinking person will go for a 3 bedroom apartment in a nice location since (s)he might raise a family there for up to or more than 10 years.

However, it's a good deal that will involve monthly payments up to 21k N210k over 10 years (interests not included).

The only problem is that we live in a society with no jobs or poor job security.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

In the first place, where e get 1.5m as initial deposit or didnt i read that right? 25m to be paid in 10yrs thats around 113k per month, how many "low income earners" can afford that in these recesion age?

Would you rather its given to you for free? I own a 2 bedroom flat which I bought from Lagos State Government 2 years ago, and the value has practically doubled. Was it a good investment, hell yeah. I live in a well managed estate in the middle of town, and didnt have to cough out the entire value of my apartment to get it.

60% of Nigerians live in face me I face you, (room or room and parlour) not 3bedroom flats.

Most of these face me I face you are in shitty locations as you wrote.

Do you plan to be stagnant for 10 years? Get one first, and figure out the rest later. I know lots of young couples that bought 1 bedroom flats and with a bit of ingenuity were able to carve out a second room. One of them that I know his income has nearly tripled in the last 18 months.

I don't know why you keep harping on N25m like it's the CHANGE slogan. So, what you're saying is there aren't 3-bedroom flats worth N25m around any of those areas listed?

Moreover, did you consider that a one-bedroom flat for N1.5m is on the table? Thing is if it's not comfortable then people most likely won't buy it.

Stop looking for negatives in things you see.

@Post,

With the prevailing market rates of building materials, I applaud Lagos State if they are really able to deliver finished accommodation (at the right quality) for as low as N1.5m, and no higher than N25m, albeit flats.

Before we harangue further, it will be pertinent to wait for the breakdown of the selling price vis a vis the respective locations. Thereafter, we can compare the LASG proposed selling price with that of the private developers in each area.

Low income earners will obviously be able to benefit from the low range houses. The upper range will be very beneficial to mid income earners who pay exorbitant rents in Surulere, Lekki and related environs where these houses will be located.

Kudos again to LASG.

Lol. So of what advantage is the housing scheme if we have a society with most families crammed into 1 bedroom houses?

I never said it was a bad deal. My analysis only infers that such a housing scheme needs to be coupled with creation of good job opportunity for the masses.

The honest truth is that, no matter the good intentions of such schemes, we will never have a comfortable society until we create true value by job creation across all sectors of industry.

The citizens will always be too poor to afford the simple things of life.

Did you realise that some of the apartments cost 1.5 million Naira, and they are going to pay for so long. so if they pay 15,000 NGN in a month, they would have finished paying before ten years

Correct me if I'm wrong.

1. No right thinking person should start to raise a family fit for a 3-bedroom (size or quality), when what he can afford is a single bedroom
2. The scheme is for those who can afford it, considering both current income and future potential
3. Even in societies with the famed "job-security" (a term that I doubt truly exists), many cannot afford to buy a house. That is why America for instance keeps coming up with ways to bridge the gap, for example with the "Projects" concept

Bros,

This is the "blind side" people do not consider and probably make them not to take the bold step. A friend once valued my house few years ago and told me, do you know your property is close to a million dollars? I never gave a thought to it like that until he brought it to my consciousness.
