Properties › Re: Increment Of Rent All Of A Sudden by alamscolo(m): 2:32pm On Apr 29
This debate has been on for a while.
Some landlords are greedy but also the cost of renovation is really on the high side now.

The best prayer is that one should pray to have his own space no matter how small

There is no justification to increasing rent twice a year. Left to me increasing rent every year sef Na wickedness.

If you're interested in an ½plot around Gbaga in ogijo axis. I have one to sell at an affordable price

Politics › Re: Petrol Price To Hit ₦1,050 by alamscolo(m): 6:54am On Mar 07
*Data by MEMAN indicated that Dangote’s petrol gantry price was N874 per litre as of Monday, while the landing cost of imported petrol was N809.37 per litre, showing a difference of about N64 between the two sources.

MEMAN also reported that Dangote’s diesel price was N1,169.42, while imported diesel was N1,125.70 per litre.*


I believe most people did not read the article even with the war imported fuel is around ₦809 while Dangote's is ₦994.

Can you try to digest that.
FX is down
Imported fuel is cheaper
Year Dangote increased with over ₦200+ within 2 weeks

Kunduz to you bro. You said it all.
Because we in this shithole are not seeing any sign of positive changes I swear. I still dey gnash my teeth say cement Na 10,400 per bag for this country



malali:
Weaponized illiteracy

Percent growth without context is misleading; base effects can turn “good” numbers into bad outcomes.

The IMF table shows percent changes, not the quality of the starting point. Example: on a positive base, 1% of $10 billion = $100 million, that’s real expansion. But if you’re starting from a hole, percentages can hide pain. Two ways people misuse “growth” from a negative $10 billion:

• If “growth” means a 4% increase applied to a negative base, you get -10B × 1.04 = -$10.4B (the deficit is worse).

• If “growth” means improving by 4% toward zero, it’s -10B × 0.96 = -$9.6B (still deeply negative).

So don’t be carried away by window‑dressed percentages. Without knowing the base, the balance sheet health, and real purchasing power, a headline like “4% growth” can still mean households are worse off, deficits persist, and the economy isn’t truly improving.

Career › Re: Why Dangote Sacked Refinery Staff - FIJ by alamscolo(m): 1:29am On Oct 03, 2025
Dee60:
The report contains lies. No sound petroleum engineer will earn 400k per month. Too low. And you could not have been working for many years in a company that is just coming up.
But I actually have a friend who started working with the company (Dangote Refinery) since 2020 when the refinery was still under construction. Then he told me his salary was about 150k. He was even among the team that went to India for training then. But I lost his contact, would've inquired more about their working condition and pay

Properties › Re: How Much Do You Pay For Rent? by alamscolo(m): 6:55am On Aug 09, 2025
Superpack589:
This is the comment I have been looking for. Some people here are saying building materials is cost like most of the houses in question were built last year. Some of these houses were built when things were cheaper many years ago. Many landlords are just greedy and wicked to tenants.
Bro/sis. The real fact is that house renting is not profitable to landlords again but most people will not believe this, at least with the analysis I have done so far. I have like 2 ppties that I use as rent.

All these things still matter except that landlord does not renovate after completing the structure.

Imagine using over 5m to renovate an existing structure+ money for acquiring the property over 23m.

And I get 2.1m per annum for rent.

NB: I will still have to be renovating o.

How many years will it take me to recover?

Over 10 years right.

If I add cost of renovation maybe every 2 years. Do you see the trick.

Na Una wan live at high brow areas.

Despite all these analysis, I still let out room and parlour self contained for 350k, 500k total(damages inclusive) and 2bed @450k (600k total + damages) and they have good road

Anyone that knows lucky fiber can testify maybe coz the structure is just behind the company.

Everyone will be alright. Cost of materials is affecting both newly built and those that are renovating.

The government esp Lagos State government has an hand in this esp the current government, imagine a friend acquired a ppty for his mum, just to renovate, they stopped them from working it's been over 2 months now and they settled laspa, Las orisirisi with over 3m and still paying, the guy just dey regret, area boys and baale own still dey o. Assuming it's for rent, will it be cheap? Don't forget to add the skyrocketing cost of materials

How would the court charge 1m when ordinary bail condition from the police is 1bn. Snake don get hand inside. The judiciary is just something else, if it were a Nigerian that stole chicken or Maggi now, you will hear death by hanging or 21years in prison with hard labour. But as dem no be black now. Treat them with caution or else China will not borrow Nigeria money again. Tueh

Properties › Re: Why Building Houses For Tenants In Nigeria No Longer Makes Sense by alamscolo(m): 5:22pm On Jun 20, 2025
The reality is not far fetched from the writer's point of view, but going for a residential building is just to tie your money and after some years when you're tired, you sell off the property. It's actually one business that the risk is calculated, I have 3 already though I'm not doing anything residential again after these but it's a fund tied down for pension, sell some and use some to eat when you don't have the power again

Stop lying with Taqiyya, he approved them, he should resign if he's not aware of the people he employed.

Okay let's have repentant ESN just like we have repentant Boko Haram or Fulani B&its if it can happen without his knowledge.

Tinubu promised to create 3 million jobs every year without telling us how, now, we now have millions of kidnappers as kidnapping has become a lucrative business in Nigeria.
Seriously, you have a valid point with this job stuff. He really said so and he empowered kidnappers. That's true o
