Religion / Re: Pope John Paul Ii And Michael Jackson Found In Hell! by AmAlone: 9:18am On Oct 17, 2011
lepasharon:

!I'm stasting to suspect dis thing, firstly why dint Jesus say anything about d bible being tampered with.his name is not even jesus! There was no j in hebrew nd greek it was added.why dint Jesus say anything bout being called yhwh nd jehovah when dey r false gods?? God only has one name, I am!
Why dint god say anything bout d apocryphal being removed from the bible wen dere r Many truths in it! D bible would make More sense! Why did jesus ntt say anything about blacks being d true hebrews of d bible? why did jesus ntt say anything about him being painted white wen d bible says otherwise
HUH!? So Many revelations r happening man!

The story of this 18year old girl is definitely true!!!!

And I like to ask you. Even if what you are claiming to be true is true,
Why should Jesus talk about all this?
It is the best thing to talk about(considering the fact that demons are constantly taking people to hell)
Don't you think the most important thing to talk about has being talking about which is SALVATION?
OVER MY 23YEARS ON EARTH, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'M HEARING SOMETHING LIKE WHAT YOU JUST WROTE UP THERE!!!!

There is only one true religion. It is very easy to find. HOW? You just think of that religion that don't want you to cheat, like, kill,
do evil and promise you paradise, that religion that will always say the truth even its bitter. That religion that will somehow condemn itself(its prophets who are liars) And you see that it Christianity!!!!!

Beside, the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life!!!!

bisanjay:

@spyder888, Damain, Princeoxn, omobashua, etc,

i'm in dare need of suggestions, advice/confirmation on my project. i've started constructing the woodwork for my decking.  The iron bender/welder and the new bricklayer has just called to advised that my previous bricklayer have erred to have layed two set of blocks after lintel.The solutions according to the two technician are; for me to order the removal of a layer of block from the lintel or to deck without a beam- meaning that the deck will be on mere blocks. Both technicians advised against the second option (deck on mere block) based on safety reasons and the fact that the house will be far above the normal hieght of a story building. i need expert/experienced guys in the house Re: implication of decking on mere block-(avoiding beam). i'm inclined to the idea of removing a layer as it sounded logical or an accepted norm, but i'm unsure/unconvienced of why. my quesions here is: is it possible to deck (on mere block) withou compromising safety? i remember Princeoxn and others confirming at some point on this thread that they layed two block on the lintel before they deck their own house. would  the huse be two high to errect a beam after two blocks ?  God bless you all.  

 


LOL!!! That is really very funny!!!! Kindly ask the carpenter to make sure he put beam. That is probably one of the best way to build a house!!!!

The minimum amount of blocks you can add after lintel for bungalow is 2 coaches, while for upstairs or so it 1(if the decking is going to have a beam).

So there is nothing wrong at all with that. You can even add 4 coaches if you want. The advantage is that it give the house more room for fresh air.
As a result, you can stay indoor even when there is no light an still feel no sweat!!!!!!

Another advantage again is if you are having pop. POP drops like 6' from the deck. So if you put just 1 coaches and use POP and still install fan(like one of my friend did) You sure will regrec using only the 1 coaches after lintel.

What I'm saying in short is; What you have on ground now is much better that what you are being advised to do!! SO take my advice and ask the carpenter to continue with his work and make sure the decking has a beam!!!

@ Am alone, don't worry about going to court, everybody is not the same. Ahanohai is a gentleman an I am sure there will be a peaceful solution to all these, but you can call the cops, first for that your dishonest bricklayer, the one you said was dishonest while doing your fence, I wonder why you didn't imprison him?

cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy grin grin grin grin grin Na wa o! Bros you won attack me again? cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy grin grin grin grin
This one na indirect attacking oo!!!! See as you talking calmly to every other person. But e be like say
me get a special tone!!!! Abeg let go of anything wey you still dey carry for mind for me jorray!!! - [size=5pt]I dey make money here!!!![/size]

And as for the bricklayer, him don come back come settle him scores!!! And na him do the plastering of my house!!!!!
ppl no dey do me bad make them no regret!

Na my last direct statement be this!!!


The very simple lesson to learnt from this thread is: Never give 100% payment in-advance for anything you are not getting immediately!!!!
It is just like getting payed a 6months salary in advance!!!!(you know very well we won't take the job very seriously anymore).



Anyways, @ahonohai
There are somethings you just have to let go!!! the mistake you made was paying 100% in advance.
just collect your keys from brabus, finish up the remaining things left. And try to be at peace with brabus.
from the best of my knowledge, it will be near impossible to get back that 132k
so let it go!!!! With time you will forget every!!!!


@Brabus, I must have to say you didn't do well at all.
My advice is that next time try to buy all materials immediately
when you have the cash with you! Delay with cash can be pretty dangerous.
Not like you the bad guy, it just human!!!
But you need to be very much cautious when spending money
for a job you've not finished or others people money!!!!!!


Which ever way, becareful
Peace!!
Properties / Re: The Business And Profitability Of Rental Properties by AmAlone: 9:14am On Oct 11, 2011
Each shops measures 8 by 10ft each and I am collecting 6k per month. The smallest of the shops measures 6 by 11ft and I still collect 6k.
The biggest measures 9 and 1/2ft and I'm collecting 7k.

in other words, so much cash were not spent to build the shops, but the rent is okay!!!
Properties / Re: The Business And Profitability Of Rental Properties by AmAlone: 9:10am On Oct 11, 2011
Now from my experience:

I have an almost 3 plots of land. But the front measured 120ft.
I intend to build a large plaza with a minimum of 56 shop and 2 warehouse.
But because of cash wey dey yab man!!!! cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy

I just left the place like that. But just july this month, i came up with an idea to just
build some shops at the front using only the government set back(in a way that the shop can be
there while i am building my plaza when I'm ready, the shops wont reach or affect the plaza itself).

Now my point is, including borehole that I did for the 12shops, toilet, the front that i make look extremely good compared to others,
town planing that I have to pay over 100k, PHCN and everything I spent on the shop(despite the fact that i made it look 3times
more beautiful than normal, I still spend a total of 1.5million). But when i collected my 2years rent(which the tenants rushed to pay)

I got a total of 2million. Which means I gain back my cash immediately with an extra 500k.

Another point is that, i have not even really utilized
the land. So I am 100 and 1% into shops/plaza build
as it is more than a good investment for me!!!!
Properties / Re: The Business And Profitability Of Rental Properties by AmAlone: 8:54am On Oct 11, 2011
Though I don't mean buying shops!!!!
I mean buying a land on a Major road and building something like
a plaza with a minimum of 33 shops/office in it.

The minimum to budget is 15million(depending on what you want.

Land can cost 12million. 2million can build you 7shops on the front of the land
Then when you have money you can build the main plaza or so inside the land.
The higher the value of the land = the cost = more advantage and more strategy you will need.

But if you want to build a plaza direct, you may want to look for lands worth from 20million upward

another 20 to 30m can complete it for you!!!!
50m total and I assure you, you can get that cash in 8years.
But please don't be too greedy with the concept of the plaza(if you can give packing space, do. build the plaza in a way almost all the sellers
can enjoy equal advantage)

I have been following this thread since yesterday. Kudos to all posters especially spyder888. Rental prop Ty biz is very lucrative actually. I have build a couple of personnal houses and I just love building. It's a long term thing, so if you are a short term person, this is not for you. More gist later, got to prepare my kids for school.

Fhemmmy:

^^^ Chief, but by the time you look at cost of buying lands in those kinda places you have mentioned, i am sure the lands alone will be so expensive, and the recoup period for the investment might be longer than expected

spyder880:

^^^^ its long term my man. And it can secure your future by making sure you have residual income for the rest of your life. The reason I love rental properties is that it provides surprise money.

@Spyder, I kept wondering why you didn't talk about SHoPs all this while(was one of the reasons why I didn't get myself involve in this).
From the best of my knowledge shops are the most lucrative business in the building business in Nigeria.

From my previous calculations, it will take you a minimum of 14years to recoup your investment if you build a house(anywhere in Lagos, including cost of land) and that is if you don't have bad tenants and your tenants moves in immediately after the building is completed and if you don't spend any cash at all on maintainance.

But for shops, I calculated a maximum of 7 to 8years to recoup your investment(including cost of land). Again, value of shops(the once that are in strategic locations) appreciates even more rapidly and can easily be sold out if the need arise.

WOrD uP!

FLORIDACAR:

Letter to Brabus/Nexthome:
The smartness lies with the "mode" you choose and also how effectively you make the most of the path chosen. Philosophies aside, it is very uncommon in today's youth to be accredited for being a marathon runner. For there is no prize for starting small to make it big one day, but only to start big to be the biggest in no time smiley Sadly, we fail to realize, "Its not how good you are, its how good you want to be". The word "potential" is more common in people than the word "succesful" and one doesn't have to dig too deep to figure why? what happen to you is what we see in most of our Nigerian youth today, you collected those money from your client known fully well that its not enough, but you collected it anyway because u have your immediate needs that need to be attended to. with your MONEY MONGER mind set that you can always run back to him and get more as usual.
No doubt I was one of your fans and die hard follower I even subscribes to you on facebook. thinking you are real and good biz Minded person. OBVIOUSLY YOU ARE NOT" ruining back to this page now and giving low down on how u run your business do u know good but arm.

I support the removal of fuel subsidy with a big YES.
It will kick out corruption in the oil industry and the money will be used for other meaningful projects and development.
If you want good things to happen in Nigeria, removal of fuel subsidy is one of the basics to kick start any development in Nigeria.

blank:

Lawyer, it is not a laughing matter o grin See as i confuse when i see graph Wetin join graph and land? Anywayz sha, i still dey interested but if one person wan corner everything to himself, hmmm.

Your post is totally uncalled for. What do you mean if person wan corner everything for himself?
Madam or Sadam, It is just an Idea. I like the propose estate thing. Not everybody that voted for those places
are ready to buy or build. Again to have potential buyers is really going to take a lot of time(if you don't know anything
about properties, then you should know. Because I
know that for sure).

Some people are just seeing it today and they just vote because they like the idea. It may be up to 1 or more 2years
before they can be ready to buy the land and start their project. So my arguement is; If we want to keep this project alive,
certain things need to be worked out!!!!!

If you say you want to wait till all 50 people are ready before you can kick the project, THEN I DEFY YOU!!!!!


I did not advertise any property here neither did i say i want a percentage tongue tongue, I am not that hungry my dear. I'm not an engeener or anything that is related to real estate. I am just giving out an opinion!!!!. If the project is a success, i am 101% more that ready to buy(even more ready yourself  tongue tongue tongue).

And as for the Graph, if you can read graph, then you should understand that. It simply says if all the buyers are not ready to buy at once, there is a possibility that the propose nairaland estate will be kind of scattered!!!!(in other words, it won't have a definite site!!!! 15ppl here, 20 there another 25 there and so on)

Properties / Re: Nairalanders Vote For Your Own Chosen Nairaland Estate by AmAlone: 2:08pm On Sep 21, 2011
One more thing I will like to contribute(that is if Seun & Lawyer wil agree). After considering what we have on ground as adviced by lawyer(after considering what I just state above).

Another factor that can really make this work is or that can be an added advantage(if we can get a good investor) is if after the voting is completed(This person may buy all the 50 plots needed and later start selling to potential buyer from nairaland. that is if
Seun & lawyer can put head together, i think this will work out fine). Again, it will be easy to call it an estate if it was first bought by one person. The investor will resell with little profit(must sign an agreement).

Instead of people buying unit by unit(because I'm very certain not everybody that voted are ready to buy now). So this may come or stand as a set back for the project.

Reason: You all will agree with me that the owners of the propose lands will not want to wait till all NLDer's are  ready to buy his land before he can sell.
So lets say the propose NL estate is chosen today and 10 ready buyers buys 10 plots out of it now out of the propose 50 people's estate we are talking about now. Let me say before we could get the remaining 40 NiaraLander's to buy theirs out of this propose NL estate, the owner of the property may have sold it out to more ready buyers or may have sold the closest property to our fellow NLer's to other ready buyers not from NL.


Option 2: If we can not get an investor, then I think it will be wise for Lawyer to contact with the seller of the propose property chosen by NLer's. He should get an aggrement with them for the 50plots of land needed, that their money will be payed within certain period of time. So the buyers will keep that portion for us NLer's until we are ready to buy. So Lawyer will continue with the advertisement. First 50 buyers from NL to comes forth will get his or her own portion of the cake untill all the land is finally bought out from the buyer(s)!!!!!!! But to kick this, I think he should get atleast 10 ready buyers to begin with. When the owners of the property can see cash of 10 ready buyers, keeping an extra 40 for them won't be too much to ask!!!!!


From the below you can guest what NL estate will be like if this measure are not put into consideration!!!


My 2bags of Dangote cement!!!!

Properties / Re: Nairalanders Vote For Your Own Chosen Nairaland Estate by AmAlone: 12:51pm On Sep 21, 2011
@ Lawyer, there is nothing bad for NL to have more that one estate.

From the votes, I notice Badagry and SANGOTEDO/ LAKOWE (AJAH) are tops on the chart.

So my advice oga lawyer, maybe you use this two place for the propose NL estate.
Because I'm sure people voting for SANGOTEDO/ LAKOWE (AJAH) cannot go for Badagry if Badagry finally wins and vise-versa(because of their distance apart).

So Lawyer I think you should promote both. Besides, what we have up there for now are mere votes. Of all the votes we don't really know for sure where most of the serious people are!!!!
