PropertiesRe: Lagos Advocates Rent Reduction, Declares Caution Fee, Inspection Fee Illegal by Badgers14: 9:00pm On Apr 24, 2025
DeOTR:
Thinking of doing something like this, but I don't know if this will help in Lagos. Landlords most times are working with the agents to rip off accommodation seekers.
Good idea. But, I don't think that would work well like it does in the west.

The state should create a website then where people can see apartments for rent and the tenants can communicate with the landlord or management company

PropertiesRe: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Badgers14: 8:54am On Apr 20, 2025
laptopsforsale:
Hello guys, please advise me.

Below picture is the survey plan of a land I have had for a while now, but want to start something on it now. I will be meeting with an architect and engineer next week, but I am now thinking of what I want to achieve so I have come up with this very rough sketch on the plan.

The land currently has a foundation on it which is the red coloured box in the picture. I bought the place with the foundation on it and I don't even have the plan of the foundation, so i will re-work it. My plan is to build a 1 storey building comprising of 2 units of 2 bedroom flats downstairs and 2 units of 2 bedroom flats upstairs. The blue coloured box is the area I envision the building to occupy.

The black coloured box is where the gate into the compound will be and the grey coloured box will be the parking space for about 3 cars. The green coloured box will contain at least 2 shops and the pink coloured box will be a garden where madam will plant crops with the kids - that has always been my dream. Finally, the yellow coloured box is where the soakaway will be.

Please, what do you guys think of this plan? Notice that the planned house and soakaway will cross into the area where the old foundation currently is. Will it be easy or even a good idea to re-construct the foundation to my plan and also turn the remaining part of it into soakaway?

Also, is it a good idea to have the entrance into the compound on the part where the house is, just as I depicted in my plan?

Again, I love the idea of having a sliding gate instead of the traditional 2-door gate. But the sliding gate will likely traverse or get too close to the area the shops could be. Any thoughts on how I can work around this?

Grateful for your responses
Wehdone ooo..

Well, I am neither an engineer nor an architect..

But one thing I would say is, to make sure your dreams/vision on the project, like you have explained here is captured in reality.

Do not let any old structure there stop you.. like you did mention the plot have a previous foundation, uproot/abandon the old foundation and make sure your vision is captured in reality.

Keep in mind, foundation is the most important aspect of a building project..

The existing foundation, you might not know how diligent the engineers and artisans were in delivering it and what type of building they had in mind..it could be different from the type of structure you want making the foundation not usable to you.

(For me, I wouldn't even recommend building on a existing foundation if I just purchased a plot, because I want to be sure, building is not cheap.. and I can't invest all the money on a foundation that is "unknown " . I don't want to always sleep with one eye open after the hustle , the expenses and the stress to build).

But most importantly, you want to build a house that captures your vision... a home.

A place you would walk inside and go.. yep, that's right.. this is home. From the compound to the interior settings of the house.

I have seen with my two naked eyes people that built their houses and abandoned it.. had to sell it because they were mesmerized by the 3D the architect sent them and not focusing more on the interiors.. the room placement.. hallways.. etc making sure the house would work for them.. that the house captured their vision.

I have always been an advocate of designing building from the inside... I am not overly wowed by the exterior of the building and their 3D.

The reason , you might wonder? Because I will live inside the house and not the outside.. I want to make sure the settings, rooms, hallway.. intended use of the interiors, matches my vision of the place.

Cheers!!

InEOS are to blame for Manutd's problems..
First, I understand ETH had to go, yes but they should have allowed Nistelroy ro finish the season and Amorim to take over next season.

My reason is, ETH plays a totally different style of football than Amorim.. and Nistelroy understands ETH and plays similar style.. moreover, the player ETH signed in the summer were the players that would fit his style..

Second reason why INeos is to blame.. all this cuts, cuts cuts, cut staffs lunch etc.. it's seems like the guy doesn't have money to run a football club, he should have allowed the Saudi's to buy the club..

See how mancity got turned around, Girona in spain.. when there's money and perks.. employees are happy, morales are high and that reflects on their performance..

InvestmentRe: Interpol Joins EFCC In N1.3tn CBEX Probe by Badgers14: 9:51am On Apr 16, 2025
Kudos to EFCC..

I hope they are truly dedicated to this investigation and bring the culprits to books.. and not "audio" investigation just to look good online.

Just to clear the air, I did not buy into the CBEX scheme.

However, the victims are our fellow Nigerians. Have they been gullible? Perhaps, but that still doesn't negate the fact that they are still Nigerians, we don't only be our brothers keeper when they become celebrities, when they are out of line, they are still one of us.

Remember Bernie Maddoff? The US government was on his case, seized his assets and many of his victims got their money back while Maddoff got 150 years prison sentence.

The government have an obligation to her citizens, I wonder why the government allowed the company or any other ponzi operate without proper vetting and oversight ... Chinmark, Ovaioza, MMM plus many others...

GistMedia0:
Popular Nigerian disc jockey and philanthropist, DJ Cuppy, has sparked reactions online after sharing a heartfelt reflection about materialism and her changing perspective on luxury. In a candid social media post, Cuppy expressed regret over owning an overwhelming number of designer shoes, admitting that her past obsession with material things now feels "insane." shocked

"This is just my London collection," she revealed, showing off a vast array of high-end footwear. "I still have more shoes in Lagos and Dubai… it’s crazy. But guess what? All this doesn’t matter in Heaven, and you can’t carry them to your grave." shocked

The billionaire heiress went on to say that she no longer values these possessions as she once did. "I’m not materialistic like I used to be. The amount of shoes or material things you have doesn’t make you a better person."

Nairaland GeneralRe: What Does Nairaland Need Right Now? by Badgers14: 7:55am On Apr 15, 2025
Seun:
Hello Guys,

I'm throwing this question to you because it's very important. Every time I ask, "how is Nairaland?" I'm told that it is fine. If I ask what are the challenges I'm told there are none.

So I need to talk to you guys directly about what you think is going on and what you want us to do. I have not had the confidence to make major changes on Nairaland. I have a little confidence now because of AI.

What are your complaints, your challenges, your issues. What are the things that can drive people away and need to be nipped?

Speak your mind, but don't be rude. Thanks.
I have always wondered why someone needs to agree to a statement inorder to comment to a Muslim post , but that statement doesn't show up on any Christian post??

You would think our Nigerian police would do this basic , common sense thingshuh

Sometimes i wonder, what's the need for all this BVN, NIMC stuffs??

A kidnapper will kidnapper someone and collect money via bank transfer and use a cell phone to contact their victims relatives yet.. they can't ve tracked down..

Someone said on a different post that the bandits have TikTok account and regularly post videos? I wonder why the military can't track them down with ease..

ONANA is a calamity, poor, lack awareness, poor reflex and impact the team negatively, every opposition team knows all that, then the reason every opposition players SHOOT towards United goal at every slightest opportunity bcs they knew Ọnana is error prone.
Today's score line?

Onana is not actually error prone.. let's be objective..

If Onana is error prone , what about Jens Lehman at Arsenal those era? Even Oliver Kahn at Munich, Buffon, Casillas have had there own shares of oopsies..


Even De Gea before he left united was playing like he was tired of life.. many errors, scared to use his feet, poor ball distribution...

Even Alison at Liverpool have more premier league oops than Onana..

Let's be objective with our criticism...

I am not trying to convince you to be Onana's fan if you are not.. but let's call a spade a spade

Why did the coach not only bench Onana, but took him out of the team roaster for today's match?

That's harsh in my opinion.

I watched the game against Lyon, while it might be heartbreaking to concede the equalizer at the last minute of the game, I can't really fault Onana for both goals.

In my Opinion, I think Onana have been highly criticized, last season there's no goal keeper that faced the amount of shots on goals like him..

While he does make some mistakes in games, every goal keeper great have there shares as well...

Watch YouTube videos of Oliver Kahn, Gigi Buffon, Iker Casillas.. Van Der Sar was even a basket at Juventus before they got rid of him and picked up Buffon from Parma

I totally disagree with you, what the woman did was child forced labour which is illegal, children are not allowed to work but should be in school, what your parents did is understandable because they were poor but still illegal.
I never said what the woman did was legaal or illegal..

My opinion is i understand her facial expression- that of pain.. I have lived through it myself..
EducationRe: Chess Master Tunde Onakoya Grants Full Scholarship To Girl Exposed To 4 AM Work by Badgers14: 11:02pm On Apr 01, 2025
The pain in that woman's eyes brought me to tears...

I don't see this as child endangerment.. many of us have done similar things to help our parents..

Back in the day.. I used to hawk items in the market after school.. even before I was 10 years old..

I used to hawk in the park before school and after school.. I still remember the look on my parents face, disappointment, sad.. feeling like they were failures and unable to provide for us.. but us kids were excited to go out there and hustle grin

My dad, sometimes would not look us in the eyes.. my mom's face sometimes with the facial expression I am seeing from the woman in this
video..

But that's in the past now.. I thank The Lord Jesus..

The lady that videod her wanted to shame her but she was shamed instead.. and the woman and her daughter have been receiving outpouring support worldwide..


Lord, may our enemies that want to shame us, be shamed and may our destiny helpers locate us in the process.. Amen 🙏

Anyways, Gaddaffi did keep Libya up until the west armed the rebels to kick him out and destroy their country.. now, Libya is in ruins and where are the western world that armed the rebel? In their own country enjoying, while Libyans destroyed their country by themselves..
