Naijabin:
Thank you sir, I really appreciate your advice, I am so grateful

You are very welcome My Oga.

Please please do use my last advice about not strangling your business to buy land.

Again, I don't know about real estate up North because I am from the East. Here is how re al estate usually works.

They tell you land is say, N1m, you negotiate 750 and the seller accepts 850k.that's not the only expenses.

You still have to pay agent fee which could be between 5-10 percent of 850k. Then you find a lawyer to write the agreement, might charge you 5-10 % the cost of the land or 10-15k.
Then survey the land, surveyors usually charge 50-70k.

Remember this figure might be more or less. They are the figures I have paid myself so it might be the same or high or low depending on the area.

So, You might decide to secure the land with fence, fencing costs approximately N1m. As soon as you start fencing, the villagers will come for development levy, money for youth, fencing levy, transformer levy, fencing permit and all.

You have seen all these charges that was never brought up to your attention (agent fee, lawyer, surveyor etc).

Say if you use all your money say, N1m to buy a land of 850k, you will end up emptying your pocket, this will stress you out and it have a potential of affecting your business.

Before buying, always do the maths very well to make sure you have enough money for those expenses and also you still have money left to run your business because you don't want to strangle the source of your income.

Cheers!!

On thing i like about this man is he is always the king or a rich father with stubborn son/daughter in his movies, he never acts as a poor man

Naijabin:
Thanks for your response.
1. Plot of Land here will cost 600,000-1,000,000

This is based on what people told me and I myself didn't go in search of the land yet.

2. If I will want a studio I will need it by a roadside or place people will likely see easily.

3. I earn about 50-80k monthly.

4. Sure it will.

And I must rent shop for the studio.

So should I just open the studio?

Well, I don't know how much a shop by the roadside will cost you and how much you need to invest in studio equipment. Check on that say shop and equipment will cost 500k( just guessing) then you still have 500k in your war chest for the land.

50-80k per month is a healthy income in this era, keep up your efforts.

And I imagine if you invest in your business, your income might tilt to the right a bit say 100k? ( I am just guessing, I don't know the photography industry).

Then few months later you could buy a plot of land at your desired location and gradually build it up.

One advise though, do not clean out your closet (use all your cash) to buy the land. While it is a good investment, you don't want to strangle your business, you need to have operating cash say 50k -100k just in case your business needs it.

Cheers!!

Naijabin:
Hello guys, please I need suggestion. I am a photographer but I don't have a studio, I made a million naira from my savings and some online stuffs I do, now I am in a confuse state whether to buy a plot of Land with the money or I should use it to open a small studio for my photography business.
I stay in the north so the one mill is enough to get a good plot of land for me.

Your ideas will help

Mods please help me push it to the promise land

I don't know the North very well but here are criterias i will consider before making a decision.

1. How much is a plot of land in the area you prefer to buy land.
2. Will you be comfortable having a studio in your home?
3. How much is your monthly income?

4. Will having a studio significantly boost your business?

Then 5 Depending on your answers on above you could;
a) buy a plot of land, if change will remain, build a small house for your studio on the land and when money come, build the main house.

Or you could go all in in your business and when more money come in you can buy a plot of land.

Cheers!!

My Oga, have a question for you, how big is your plot of land in sq. Meters?

Also, do you mind sharing the 3d picture of the proposed buildings.

Thank you sir.

Evablizin:



Oga Inno go in peace,demanding to know why they arrested you is a waste of time because they will tell you lies.

This is called grand standing.. He is just enjoying the moment of being the news.

He is right to demand answers tho

naija911:
According to the anti-graft body, his arrest followed his refusal to honour invitation by the Commission having earlier jumped an administrative bail granted him in a case being investigated by the Capital Market and Insurance Fraud Unit of the Commission's Lagos office.

"Chukwuma, rather than honoring invitation by the EFCC, mobilized six truck loads of thugs pretending to be staff of his company to his residence, where they manhandled EFCC operatives. "It took reinforcement from the Enugu office of the EFCC to effect the arrest of the industrialist who is currently being grilled by a team of investigators,"

Video or i don believe it ( no joke).

How come EFFC have not released official statement?

BeeBeeOoh:


My problem is what brought EFCC into this matter that warranted them to bundle Innoson away like firewood??

You have forgotten this is 9ja. Some one can have army or police bundle another person up and throw them in jail because they had misunderstandings.

spyder880:
Can you all help me with critique this painting combinations, I just arrived to see this combination they chose for this house and I don't like it very much.

On the first picture, the cream on the dining needed another shade in that family to bring it down as these two colours (bright blue and cream) seems to be fighting each other

On the second picture, although I appreciate the idea of this my painter to match a particular paint tile colour with this bright orange on the porch, but the effect I see there is a "shouty" porch that reminded me of GTB instead of a home

Although some of my family loves this but I am about to coat this with something cooler. Gbadexy, what do you think, as this is your field.

Let me start from the second picture: Yes, You are right.. The orange color is screaming, it doesn't look good, frankly in my view it reduces the beauty of the house. The house was more beautiful without that orange color. Also remember orange is too bright even when used inside of the house, using it outside of the house where it is exposed to sunlight is a no no.

It is different though if you own a business like GTB and you want to draw people's attention, but this is personal house i reckon.

Back to the first. Again, I agree with you.. The blue color is no good, it throws everything off.

On a personal level, I have always favored painting inside of a personal house with milk color. My personal house is milk color for the whole house ( rooms, living room kitchen etc)

I think it makes the house looks neat and can blend with any tile or furniture your heart desires.

My opinion!!

This is exactly what is wrong in this country. People take care of themselves and care less of the country.

One Nigeria my àss.

zuchyblink:
In Imo state, hospitality is our business. I humbly appeal to mischief makers and detractors to please stop distracting our governor. Even when you want to criticise let it be constructive. What works for Benue state may not work for Imo state. Our governor is making our state attractive for fun seeking people in Nigeria and abroad as well as tourists because hospitality is our business.
Thank you all

why should any sane lady be sleeping wit a married man....
tomorrow when she gets married and someone else sleep wit her husband she will raise eyebrow...
the truth is...it is what a man sow he reaps...reason why I pray to God everyday never to give me a woman who has see nothing wrong in sleeping wit other people's husband in time past...

I don't wanna carry out the manifestations of that curse....

I am not applauding the side chicks for sleeping with Married men.

But, the thing is lots of times, women take their frustrations out on the wrong person. Women should be going after their husband that promised them all the earth. The sidechick did not promise the lady anything.. But the husband did, so if there's any breach of promise , the lady should hold her husband accountable.

Felixabel:
So u prefer him stabbing her husband abi, that is what u girls deserve because some of you ladies can't close ur leg

And some men should control themselves.

The lady was on point, going after sidechick is nonsense in my view. The woman should have gone after her husband. The husband promised to love her, to be faithful to her and so on.. Remember the side chick did not make that promise.. The husband did!!

olumide4christ:
I simply can't understand why some Nairalanders & indeed some Nigerians just decide to view other people's decisions or actions in the eye of Igbo vs Yoruba vs Hausa
To them, every person is tribalistic & never does anything with the mind of love but rather favors his own people over others.

To these ethnocentric people, pls note that not every Nairalander & Nigerian is like or thinks like you...we who are on the other side see ourselves as Nigerians first before Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, minority, majority, etc & these guides our actions.

Thus, please keep your tribalistic antecedents to yourself & let those who want to do good to others be free to do it without fear of false accusation/judgment from the tribalists.

Gazzuzz...please reopen the thread.

This is what is wrong with Nigerian society.

First is Tribal war and if someone escapes that then comes in religious war. Oh he/she is a Christian or Muslim or an unbeliever bla bla.

We really have a long way to go in this country.

Hmmm...

I would have preferred Diego Simeone.. I like his charisma. But i think he signed 100 years contract with Athletico.
