spyder880:
We are waiting to resolve some issues about community development levies before we complete this fencing and gate mounting. Some community youths has been coming to stop us from working. They are charging us N350,000 as community development fees or else, we shouldn't work again. This amount should cover for the whole construction of this fence and even for the building of the main house.
This is how people hold their own people hostage.

I know a guy that paid N1.2m in Anambra state.

Personally, I think we’re getting into dangerous territory with all this offline identifications. First it was our resident pompous pillock going on about information on alleged international convicts and now this morning releases.

You may not always know the temperament fully of someone online, what they do professionally or as a hobby. Or maybe they’re just a camel straw away.

Finding information on others is brain dead easy these days that it’s nothing to gloat about.

I don’t come in peace at all at all.

It wont happen. That is how Linda defrauded over 300 people of 50k each unto southwest airline jobs around 2009.

They arrested her before she fled the country. Victims did not get a dime after coming to the police station severally.

The OIC will rather collect percentage of whatever remains and eventually free the scammer.
That is indeed a shame.

Someone said in a different post online that some oga at the top might be getting some cut from this ponzi schemes, but I don't want to believe this is true.

The government should please act sensible in this matter.. the U.S government did that with Bernie Maddof.

If the government are doing their jobs like the should, the case should have been over and victims paid.

What concern Government and authorities with the stupidity of Nigerians after they have done their job by warning you severally?
Government is supposed to protect their citizens at all times.

Let's assume for the sake of argument that the perpetrators of the ponzi schemes changed their mind and want to pay their victims, how can they pay their victims when the government siezed their account??

Check Bernie Maddof , the U S government did the same. Siezed his account, liquidate his assets and set up a committee to pay his victims.

Why can't Nigerian government do the same??

Her step from that video tho.....Is this the Ovaioza that scammed people billions? small nyash dey shake sha!!

Back to the topic .

If government agency truly siezed the bank accounts of these ponzi companies, why are the government not setting up committee to compile the names of the victims and start paying them from the accounts??

Abi they are waiting for the victims to die finish and someone will corner the money??

Yes, the victims might have been silly to invest in a scheme like this, yes they arrested Ovaioza and Chinmark? But the victims need their money.

Liquidate the assets of the company plus the money in their accounts and start paying the victims please!

Modified:
People quoting me and saying this and that.. yes, the "investors" were silly and they were scammed. These are still Nigerian citizens, if Nigerian government have a way to mitigate this, they should. People are not only Nigerian when they study hard and win international scholarships or when they train hard and play for Arsenal or Inter Milan.. they are Nigerians too when they make silly mistakes.

Also, assuming that the ponzi companies repented and changed their mind on the scheme and want to pay their victims, how can they pay their victims when government seized their account??

That's why government should use the money from their account they seized and pay their victims.

I sought for people's opinions about staying back to work in the southwest with an average pay or work in Gombe that pays up to twice than the southwest.
This is the link of the thread. And I'm grateful it was on the front page for some days.

https://www.nairaland.com/6806388/59k-job-south-west-140k

I'm currently working in Gombe and the place is kinda dope for the Northeast setting. Transportation and food prices is cheap. I was even surprised to see the state has a good road network.

But the heat is sometimes unbearable.

Overall I'll give the state a 6/10.

I love my work

GOD Hates Divorce. And as people of GOD, we don't do what our Father hates. That does not mean you should remain in silence if your life is threatened.

If your life is threatened in your home, dont keep quiet. get Godly counsel, get out of the place.
Isn't Pastor Chris Oyahkilohome of Christ Embassy divorced?

(Not critiquing Pastor Chris, and I do support his decision. )
Christianity Etc › Re: A Killer Marriage Is A Nonsense Marriage - Paul Enenche (Throwback Video) by Badgers14: 5:54pm On Apr 11, 2022
Christianity!

One G.O says no divorce..

But another G.O is divorced ( Pastor Chris Oyakilohome).

My suggestion: If your marriage is going sideways.. irreconcilable.. before they say pesin kee pesin.. quit the marriage and move on with your life and be happy.. at the last day, explain your decision to God Almighty.

( this is one of the many reasons I advise women to have a handwork, skill, sth doing, lots of women are trapped in marriage because when they leave, they will be broke)


Only God can judge us!

[quote author=Jeff68 post=111827338][/quote]Well, this is the scenario that always concerns abroadians..or folks that build a house but don't reside their full time.

I guess it comes down to planning, that's why I think planning is one of the most important if not the most important of an build.

Depending on the layout of the building, one could still achieve their privacy while still renting out to tenants..

The popular style of house to achieve this would be duplex in the front and 2 bedrooms of 2 flats at the back. I know of someone that was lucky, his lot was on the corner with one street in front and another street at the back.. so he built duplex plus 2 bedroom flats at the back, the tenants access their building from the other street and oga landlord access his duplex from the other street.

Another guy I know, he couldn't have separate entrance because of the location of the build and he doesn't leave their full time.. what my suggestion was for him to have his lawyer put a for let sign in front of the duplex, then pretend it was for rent but when people come to enquire, have them fill out a form ( no fee collected.. ) and the lawyer tells the prospective tenant, there's someone in the pipeline already, so when landlord moved in , folks thought he was a tenant that have a job that takes him around, that's why he is not always home ( landlord doesn't live in Nigeria).

Finding good tenants this days seems like Finding a needle in a haystack. With the high cost of build these days. For you to find a tenant that could be able to pay a market rate sometimes (depending on location) , they are yahoo boys. Average Joe with decent jobs with family do struggle sometimes to afford the rent in a new build.. so when you rent, work with your agent/lawyer.. you might need to work with the "good tenants " with legitimate source of income when you come across them.

EgunMogaji2:
I have a question on something that I've been pondered.

Now that I've shifted into my main house, my 2 bedroom bungalow is just sitting there. I have three options, I think.

1) Rent it out to a hand selected tenant on a yearly basis.

2) Turn it into a AirBnB. This sounds most logical to me since occupancy will be limited. Though it sound fanciful but I haven't done enough research to see the viability due to my location being Elebu.

3) Just leave it alone if it'll be too much hassle. I don't necessarily need the income.

I know that I won't be the first to have this quagmire so I want to tap into experiences and opinions.

Thanks.
For me, if I live in a compound full time and if I am blessed money isn't an issue, I will not rent to an outsider.. security, trust issues for me.. and personally, I still be a local man.. I don't like been restrained in my own space..

I like to sit outside alot, eat outside, chit chat outside, dressed in my singlet and shorts and walk around.. I just like to be free in my compound.

Option 1: could be an easy yes for me if I live in the premises part time. If I live there full time, I won't rent it out, if I do ( to raise a bit of income) it has to be someone close to me like a family member or a very close acquaintance, so I can still be free in my space.

Option 2: Air bnb in 9ja shocked I hear people are doing that here in 9ja but I am terrified of that, I could maybe think of airbnb if I don't live in the same compound.. the idea of seeing different people who might possibly use fake ID to book, so you are sharing a compound with someone you dont know and most likely will not know even in your best effort to vet them.. please, man cannot can oo...

Option 3: this will be my choice so I can be free in my own space. If push come to shove, and I want to raise a bit of money, I could grudgingly rent it out if there's a way to section off the bungalow from the main building (fencing).

Ify Obinabo, the new Commissioner for women affairs have really come a long way. A veteran television presenter in igbo language right from the days of Minaj System television, Obosi. I love seeing those that has paid their dues in Anambra being recognised this way.

I believe she knows the terrain well enough to help Soludo actualised his dreams of a society that is fair to women and all the vulnerable groups in the state.

Congratulations Ifeyinwa Obinabo. My generation learnt a lot of Igbo words from you, Leonard Onah and Nneka Nebolisa.

He has a way on convincing people.

Sir, it is not about changing craft, it is about one adjusting, reviewing and making amendments in their ways..

All this clients complaints up and down.. are all these clients wrong? Maybe they are, maybe they are not.

The best is one to work to better themselves in whatever they are doing, if mistakes are made, make adjustments, settle with contractors or clients and move on.. tomorrow is another day.

Real estate is not that as it have been projected here.. you lie to a client and misappropriate their funds.. recall, real estate is big business with lots of money involved.. those clients won't likely be going back and forth with the person online.. the end result might not end well for the said individual.
Properties › Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Badgers14: 1:16pm On Apr 08, 2022
All this numerous back and forth between oga contractor and oga client. I am not here to offer judgment on who is right or wrong and frankly I did not attempt to read the numerous pages of the back and forth. But..

As a business owner, we ought got to learn business diplomacy.. sometimes win some lose some.. sometimes win win, or lose lose.
The best way is to revamp, reevaluate, make adjustments were applicable and build your brand.

Like i suggested to one of the contractors here when he was posting clients voice-mail and what's app etc.. those things don't bode well for the business owner, it doesn't help one build their positive business reputation (in my opinion).

My suggestion is, here's the thing, in customer-client relations, sometimes the other party is trying to take advantage of the other guy and sometimes they don't intend to but it appear that way.. things happen, mistakes could be made, people misunderstands, sometimes in our effort to perfect something might come out the way we didn't hope and it might appear to others that was a malicious intention even if it wasn't.

An example here, let me take us back to the year 1992, in one of landmark product liability cases in the U.S , a woman sued McDonald's because she accidentally spilled her hot coffee on her self and suffered burns. The lawsuit accused McDonald's of gross negligence And yes she won a jury verdict of $3m.


But let's ask ourselves these questions, this case is long closed offcourse but do we really think their was a malicious intent on the part of McDonald's? Gross negligence? When something is hot, it has potential to cause some kind of harm. Even if the coffee was at 100 degrees Fahrenheit, if it is chugged too fast or accidentally spills on you, it could cause a snow ball of accidents.

But what did McDonald's and other businesses do? They started including notes on the coffee that's says it is hot and came up with those coffee holder and watched the temp of the coffee. Lesson here, learn from incidents, Make corrections and move on.

There are other product liability lawsuits , the one of pressing iron but we won't go there now.. but there's a reason why appliances have lots of warning notes in the manual and on the box. That is businesses learning and making adjustments. The same reasons why there are software updates, product updates and redesigns etc..

One more here before I go, just last year GM sent LG electronics an invoice of $1.9bn because they had issues with their EV battery for their Chevy bolt that was manufacturedby LG, LG agreed to take care of the invoice.

Fast forward 2022, GM and LG Energy solutions (same parent company as LG electronics) signed a deal to build a battery plant in Michigan that is worth $2.6bn.

That's business for you!!

Apologist02:
Good morningng everyone. I need your professional ideas please.
There is a 5 unit semidetached house of 3
and 2 bedroom flats. The Engineer constructed a single chamber septic tank to collect the solid waste from the toilet only and directed all the wastewater (bathroom and kitchen) and flood water to a pipe meant to be linked to a drainage channel outside the compound.
Now, none of the houses along the street has a draniage channel (most/all are low-cost buildings) and there is a concern that the next house might not continue a drainage channel if constructed in front of the building alone (90% probability because of several reasons).
Pls sirs, what can be done to collect and/or dispose this wastewater properly. The soil is made up of tiny pore lateritic sand.

cc: everyone with an opinion

Why would anyone Engineer or not channel an untreated water waste outside of a property??

We all complain about ineffective and reckless politicians but are willing to fvck up our own environment, neighborhoods, with our own hands at a grassroot level..

What kind of rubbish reasoning is the so called Engineer employing here?

The building approving agency just cares about the money being paid to them nothing else.

( unless I missed the part op said the waste waters were already treated)

Even if the water was indeed treated, there still have to be a mechanism in place for the treated water to be disposed.
As innocent as rain water is, if there's no channel for proper disposal, it does constitute a nuisance, breeds mosquitoes and diseases.

The Engineer here just channeled the waste water outside his building and declared, my building is good, the waste water left my property, it is no longer my problem.

3 weeks ago, My two sisters in Uni (One is already planning on getting married) came to visit due to the strike.

Armed men 4 in total broke into our house around 1 am, I woke up after hearing a heavy bang, they are already in the parlour, at gunpoint they asked me to bring all my laptops, money and valuables, the robbers forced me and my sisters (unfortunately in night clothes) to the master room, they tore their dresses, in turns they forcefully raped them, I begged and cried for them to stop but one of them smashed my head with the gun and told me if i move he would shoot me in the head.

I haven't been able to sleep and my sisters are so traumatized, I couldn't do anything to help but watch them cry while these monsters raped them. i am so depressed and unhappy, how can i move on from this sad event?
Sad your family had to experience this ungodly event.
