Bontee:

The law is very clear, one is for closing the streets and roads and while the other is for private entertainment in public places. Your compound is a public facility as it is not restricted to you solely but shared with other tenants.

An Apartment complex(especially one not owned by Government) is not a PUBLIC place. Having other tenants in the same compound does not then transform any private property into a public zone.

klem: Merritment fee by any LGA is only legal when you use the street/road. I had a nasty experience last year. After having my sisiter's wedding in my compound, a notice to pay 5k was served to us d following week. I was given a 7-day notice and failure to pay, I should appear before a court,can't remember d name. I was very angry and din't respond. I spoke with an ex-Chancellor and he advised me to give him 1k to see somebody in d Local govt. Got angry d more & was prepared to go to d court. My sister settled d ex- chancellor & nothing happened afterwards. lessoned learned is they do this believing that one will get panicked & pay the money. But If you did not hold any party on the street,after serving you the notice,they will never force you to pay any money.

I think that is what this is about, to bully people into paying a fee that they ought not to. Someone ought to sue these local governments for serving up these notices. It is illegal to hound residents in such a manner. These Government officials know that these notices are not warranted.

Kakatazz:
LOL!Honestly I am just trying to be happy.It was addressed "to the CELEBRANT".I am a very private person ,pple hardly know me.I go to work very early and get back late at night.Besides I was not the celebrant.

Fine, then give the notice to your one year old son/daughter, being the 'celebrant' lmao

If I were you I'd call their bluff. Let them bring the evidence that a 'merriment/celebration' was held either on the road or wherever. Don't fall mugu for them pls. And by the way, have they checked back since the notice was served? Was there a deadline given?

I will advice you to join the party that is ruling
your LG if you live in Lagos attend there meeting
once in a while and things like that wont happen
to you.Joining the group is free. During festive
period they might give you a cup of rice.

Yes they gave 24hrs brought another notice recently.I am waiting to see what is next.Meanwhile how can we all fight against this demonic law?We must do something.

@Poster, how far nah? I'm seriosuly intrested in this matter. Have your 'friends' come back to seal your house? or have you 'settled' them?

yemiofGod: @Poster, how far nah? I'm seriosuly intrested in this matter. Have your 'friends' come back to seal your house? or have you 'settled' them?

Yes Sir.They actually came back a couple of times but I am yet to get arrested and charged to court as "the celebrant" according to their last notice.

Please DO NOT give in to these miscreants. It would be nice if you have evidence to show that this party was held inside your compound. And do have a lawyer on hand. It is time NIgerians start fighting for their rights.

i don laff tire...@OP just pay them before they will come in the night to collect it o

blank: Sorry to burst your bubble but it is a legal fee by the LGA.

so now you have to pay to celebrate your own child's birthday in your house?

Because it was levied doesn't make it legal.

A Judge once ruled on the illegality of LASTMA fines.


OP, BONE THEM.
Nah them go tire

Just follow the Law, do what the La says. Yoruba adage says Iran abani da kii bani debe (those who advise against the Law will never stay with you when the Law is taking its cause).
