Well,he's my friend outside of NL. Big jokes on you.

Abeg ignore that one.

sonofthunder:
The only solid reason I see is funding your house project in Lagos. What do you mean by " not wanting to confuse your daughter 😅😅😅"

Truth is you don't owe your mentor/boss any explanation but at the same time you do. And given that you feeling pricked shows maybe you should have told her even if in passing.

If you can make the argument strong enough for your house in Lagos, then use that to drop the message for her when she asks why. I say strong enough because I suspect you could have chested the project without selling. Maybe it only takes a year or two more to pay everything off.

Highest she vex then you find time later to tell her "ema binou ma".

Stay safe and congratulations on your new home

That reason you discarded is the most important in the grand scheme of things.
Enjoy!

Thewrath:
It’s important he should have told her because she didn’t just gift him the land as a random gift,but as a boss who WANTS to see her employee or subject succeed in life,relished advised him to build a place of his own..

Secondly he might squander the money realized from selling the house or find himself in need again in future…..she might not be that willing anymore since he didn’t carry her along in the first place.

Lmao! Squander? Is that your fear? That I may squander?

sonofthunder:
Why did you sell it in the first place? That can form the basis for the conversation.

Was it because you don't like the area, you got another house or you want to Japa?

And for someone so interested in you, she could have counselled you to rent the place, sell it or assist you with funds/loans if there was a challenge.

I can advise better if you state your why.

While building my first home in the South-South was a significant achievement, it was a decision born more out of spontaneity than long-term planning. I had been transferred there for work and, with a piece of free land and available capital, I decided to build. However, looking back with the benefit of hindsight and considering the current socio-political climate, I realized my priority was to establish roots within my own region in the South-West.
My decision to sell and relocate was driven by four key factors:
* Cultural Connection & Security: In light of the current tribal politics in the country, I felt a strong need to be among my people. I wanted to ensure my primary investments were in a region where I felt a true sense of belonging and long-term security.
* Legal Peace of Mind: Though I am not a legal expert, I am wary of land disputes. Witnessing a case where original landowners successfully reclaimed property from an occupant—despite their years of residence—made me realize I didn't want to leave anything to chance.
* Strategic Financial Gain: The offer I received for the property was exceptional. It provided enough capital to purchase a standard house in Lagos, fund a complete renovation, and still leave me with a significant amount. BTW, once the renovations on the Lagos house are complete, I will be saving a substantial portion of my housing allowance, which was previously a heavy expense.
* A Consistent Sense of "Home" for My Daughter: Most importantly, I wanted to provide my daughter with a clear sense of identity. Instead of confusing her with multiple "homes" across the country, I wanted her to have one true home base where she could grow up surrounded by her extended family.


Ultimately, I believe I've traded a spontaneous project for a legacy that offers both peace of mind and financial freedom.

HelenaWills:
Sweetheart, first off, building is in a government reserved area that means anyone who bought would likely have a high-end lawyer that would vet and check every single comma in your documents. No one will make an offer if the documents aren't complete and legit. That alone strikes out any possiblity of legal erring since the house is sold already.

Thank you jare, my person.

Dzzzz:
Are you married?”

Any connection to the discourse?

richiemcgold:
No one is talking about the legal point if there might be any implications in the future. I think that's the info op needs most now.

Thank you.
Seems you're the only one who got my intents.

Legal standpoint is my ish considering it's a government reserved area.

casdoruche:
She gifted you a land to build a house for your own comfort and not for business.

If she knew you were bent on doing business then she won’t have gifted you in the first place.

GRA wahala no be here. By the time they later inform you that GRA land is not for sale you will cough out the money.

Who said anything about business being the reason I sold the house?

Good morning guys, I need clarification on something.
Some years ago, we were paid quite a sum at work, you know one of these unbelievable bonuses. One of my bosses who's always liked me called on me and advised I put the money to good use.
She specifically advised I should start working on building a house and she gifted me a parcel of land in a government reserved area to encourage me.

I have all necessary documents; The original Certificate of Occupancy and Deed of gifts with governor's consent.

The project took off and was completed the following year.
She was happy for me, congratulated me and that was the last time we talked about it. It's been over four years now.

I sold the house some weeks back and I'm wondering if I should have carried her along or engaged her dutifully from some legal standpoint.
Money is never her problem really, I'm just curious if normalcy demands I should have sought her permission before making the decision. One, as a boss who wants to see me do well in life. Two, as the gifter. Three, if there is any legal implications of not involving her or possible breach of intention.
