iamtewwy:
.am an atheist but this man is d only pastor i respect in d whole world.. He is d only man that can tell me to sit down and open d bible for me and i would pretend to listen and wont try to arque.cause of the respect i have for him!! I can never and would never throw any shades at him!! Respect to him please

Apostle suleiman no fit try come near me! Talkless of to preach for me! Him dey crase?

Add Amb Dion Osagie to that list, he is not a pastor ooo, but his life style reminds of Jesus every day even though I don't believe in organised religion. U can google him.

It's impossible to believe, how can u get all that money and ur mum lives in an incompleted building

Girl grab a seat

Archaa:
.See their knuckles chaii...



..these ones done bleach tire
...I must look beautiful



Where is she working
.

There is nothing wrong with her knuckles.

Just say congratulations and tap into her blessings

gbosaa:
She should be in prison. They delivered series of slaps, neck lock, hair pull and kept dragging the poor girl all round the room even though she was screaming in pain and distress.

People like that deserve to be locked away. If she had a sharp object, she would've used it as well against someone who was vulnerable.

Where in Europe is dat sef, try dat in uk and dat video will be used in evidence, but that girl seem to have gotten away with it.

I don't hate anyone

But wat I feel for all the girls that stood and watched another girl beaten till she collapsed is indescribable.

And dat happy girl? Dats my definition of a witch

Daboomb:
Forgive ke? You did not even offend me ooo.......... its all about winding and unwinding!

I dont take "Nairaland abuse" seriously, ..... na me abuse person pass sef!
If everybody l have abused on Nairaland should take me up, then l don die be that.
Its all in good humour joor.
Maam, do have a very pleasant week ahead.

iguita:
It was small money oo. About 36k we room. It was a face me I gave you apartment. There were four tenants.

Hm

Na wa oo

lorhema:
. We didn't offer him anything. I thought the advice was rubbish because the landlord stopped collecting rent from him 6 months earlierwhen he informed him that he wanted to sell the house. We left him for 2 months and had to get serious when we realised he had no intention of moving out. My lawyer friend's advice showed me that not all lawyers are aware of how all laws work. She was even surprised when she called and I told her we had taken possession after paying just the lawyer's fee.

No be lawyer her head oo,

The recent one is when they just get the seller to to sign the deed of assignment, then wen u try. To change the name months later u realise the seller didn't sign a FORM 1c. Shouldn't all those be signed in one day. I fear naija lawyers oo

Daboomb:
Thank you posting my cheque!
Postman nicked it but no wahala.
I wish you the best in your new house ............. and to think we use to insult each other before in the Politics section!

'Church' is Life

RiversWatchDog:
Ok

Pls pple be careful oo,

Don't see this and think u want to go and play in your ex husband house oo,

Africa men don't play like dat

iguita:
I was in the same situation two years ago and what I did was to pay all the tenants one year rent each. My case was pretty funny, the owner of the house was not the Ibe collecting not the rent, it was his girl friend who was collecting the rent. And when the tenants knew that he was going to sell the house, they stopped paying. Thankfully, I had a building engineer to guide me. I simply gave them all one year rent and gave them two weeks to move out else I will remove the roof. They all moved out. So while you are on your right, to avoid trouble and to save you time, support the guy with whatever you can but do not allow him stay, that guy na future trouble

Pls tell me it's a joke, one year rent

Of how much? To how many tenants ?

Ok madam we here oooooo

Ur husband is innocent,

Can we go rest now

Jadonjack:
Why tell them you are owning someone when obviously, you are not?!

Are u allergic to jokes?

last35:
People can lie en

As in what's the difference between the two grandma's in blue??

U can tell she had that child wen she was maybe 13.

Those generation didn't have abortion as an option and they married early.

Bless them

And they have all stayed the same colour,

Is Cato light not available in that state?

Blessed morning to u all

jumpandpas:
Were they properly informed that the house will be sold or have been put for sale or you just bought the house and told them to leave?.

Yes ooo

The other 3 tenants left.
The property was on the market for over 6months

Daboomb:
Tenants have right, so do House owners.
If you are not a bonafide tenant, you cant enjoy the "rights" of a tenant, under the law.

So, the crux of the matter is for you to establish that he is NOT a Tenant in that premises but rather he is Trespassing on your property.

*get the original tenancy agreement of the tenant he is squatting with, from the Lawyer (I dont trust that your Lawyer one bit!).
*get the real tenant to "communicate with you" in writing that the has vacated the residence. You can send him a chat message asking if he is still interested in the house but you must phrase it in a way that will make him to say NO.
For example, tell him their are some charges that he needs to pay (Security charge, Maintenance charges, e.t.c that amounts to #100K), and you want to know if he should be billed, on the assumption that he is still holding unto the place!

I am sure he will quickly tell you that he is no longer responsible for the place!

Armed with that "exchange of communication", you can just reply him that since he has vacated the place, you will no longer demand such money from him nor establish further communication with him and just wish him well in his new abode.

Now, go back to the "Squatter" and let him know that he is TRESPASSING on your property.
Dont even say he is squatting at all.

Give him two days to disappear (ofc, he wont).
Report a case of "Trespassing on private property" to the Police and charge him to court.
In the meantime, you have the right to recover your property as the law does not protect anyone committing an offence.
Double Lock the place and let him go and bring Police (The same Police that you have reported him to, for Trespassing!)

As for the Mediation Center, simply tell them you dont know him and that you have reported him to the Police for trespassing on your property.
Since he is the one that would be claiming he is your Tenant, the onus is on him to provide evidence of a tenancy contract between YOu and HIM.

Now, (if you want to be nice...l am not) he can be advised to leave the place, with a "written undertaking" in place, in a week or two weeks time (Its not your business if he sleeps under the bridge, he is obviously a trouble maker and such people dont deserve any pity).
Dont agree to more than two weeks, be firm on this because after that length of time, you are going to "dash him" some "Squatter Rights" which you dont want to.

On the contrary, he might prove stubborn:
Charge his Trespass case to court .. while he will charge you to court for violating his "tenancy rights", as a Landlord!
Your Lawyer will insist, at the Mediation Centre, that there is an ongoing "Criminal case" on the matter and as such, it super-ceeds a "Civil case" of Tenancy.
A Criminal case must finish before the civil part/matter can be heard!

So, he gets docked for trespassing..... and You win that case because you did not rent the place to him nor did you have any rent Contract with him.

His defence will be that "he sublet the place" from the previous Tenant.
You will debunk that by saying the previous tenant has vacated the place and you dont know who he is andneither are you a party to subletting, which is unlawful and illegal.
(That "written communication" you established with the bonafide tenant, is your proof)

Apart from the fact that subletting is illegal, you actually dont know him. Finito.
He could be fined or jailed for Trespassing. I dont give a f*ck!

The Civil case will die a natural death, using the same arguments above (ofc, he wont even show face again.)

You see why l said l dont trust that your Lawyer?
he should have laid all these down on the table for you.

Now, can l have my "pay" for this brief, please? l wrote it at 3am!

I don't think the lawyer knows what he is doing have to fire him.

Oga tnks for ur time ,
ur cheque is in the post

lorhema:
I've been in a similar situation but even then the person involved was a tenant whom the former landlord stopped collecting rents from over 6 months before our purchase, not a squatter.I asked my lawyer friend what to do and she said that we should pay him to move blah blah blah. We gave him 2 months and got a lawyer who knows his onions.21 days later,the court bailiffs were there to watch him move out. It's important to get a lawyer who knows what he's doing so you don't waste your time and money.Please don't use rough tactics.

So how many months rent Did u offer him?

adatemi:
Don't ever remove the ceiling, door or use soldiers to threaten him. You'll be sued by him and he will own you, ur properties & etc
I think you should go back to the mediation Ctr and tell ur part of the story that he trespassed on your property. If you are giving him time to stay there, make sure you have it in writing by him that he will leave after it expires. Also try to hire a property manager to manage ur home to avoid things such as this in the future.

Definitely , don't know why the previous owner was so careless with the property.

marylandcakes:
Don't do this a landlord got arrested in Benin city for doing that.

How can he punish u for wat he gave u?

Dreamwaker:
Remove the windows and roof and act like you are renovating. That's the best trick landlords over here use.

This guide contains the necessary procedures for obtaining Governor's consent In Lagos State with required documents to submit.

The Land Use Act of 1978 puts all land in a State; town and rural area under the control of the Governor and Local Government Chairman, respectively, in trust for the people of the state. Consequent upon this, section 22 of the Act then states that “it shall not be lawful for the holder of a statutory Right of Occupancy granted by the Governor to alienate his Right of Occupancy or any part thereof by assignment, sublease etc without the prior consent of the Governor”. Simply put, even though a property has Certificate of Occupancy which makes the beneficiary the legal interest holder on the land for 99 years or the residue, if he decides to resell, mortgage or do anything with the property, since the land is held in trust by the state government, the Governor needs to approve the transaction. In other words, the first person on a land is the only person or group of persons entitled to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy. Every subsequent buyer of that land must get a Governor’s consent.

There can only be one Owner of the Certificate of Occupancy on that land and it will not be replicated for another person once the land has been sold or transferred to another person. Process The process that accompanies the issuance of Governor’s consent in Lagos State is usually carried out in the Ministry of Lands.

The following documents are required for the purpose of obtaining Governor’s consent:

* Dated letter of application with addresses and phone numbers;

*Duly completed form 1c. The form must be dated and signed by the parties to the transaction and sworn to before a Magistrate or Notary Public;

* Certified true copy of guarantors title document; Guarantors’ tax clearance certificate /developmental levy receipt and; Grantees’ tax clearance certificate/developmental levy receipt.

* Others are: Four copies of duly executed sublease, deed of assignment (with survey plans attached in each copy), mortgages or power of attorney;

Chartable survey plans; Evidence of payment of charting, endorsement, and form 1c;

Evidence of payment of ground rent/land use charge; Letter of confirmation of payment of capital contribution from NTDA in respect of Lekki peninsula schemes 1 and 2, Abijo GRA, Isheri North and other affected government schemes and; Building plan or photograph of the property.

Cost After submitting the first set of the deed of assignment and survey plan, internal scrutiny of the documents submitted is carried out. Thereafter, the documents are sent to the Surveyor General’s office for charting. If there are no defects in the survey plan, a clean report is sent to the Lands Bureau and a demand notice is issued to the applicant for the following fees:

Consent fee – 8 percent of assessed value of the property; Capital gains tax – 2 percent of assessed value of the property; Stamp Duty fee – 2 percent of assessed value of the property; Registration fee – 3 percent of assessed value of the property and; Current tax clearance certificates of the parties to the property transaction. If you have none, an assessment is raised immediately for you. Finally, your application (document) is sent to any of the commissioners that are specifically designated for that purpose to append their signature.

When this has been done, it is sent back to the applicant to do stamp duty and final registration. Your deed of assignment then becomes Governor’s Consent; it is now a registered title. It’s the registered title that is called deed.

I hope this procedure for obtaining governor's consent in Lagos state will help you follow the right process when finalising titles to your plots of land.

Ideally form 1c shud be completed at point of property purchase, but when it isn't and the previous owner is reluctant to sign later on, wat can one do.

Julivas:
Alright.
Maybe the economic is getting at him. I think you can negotiate with him that within so so period he should find a place for himself and family and that after that period of grace given to him, he stills remain there that you will get him arrested. Besides, where is the real occupier who sublet it to him?

The real occupier had moved to PH or so,

We are thinking of giving him till April ending,

Badgers14:
Don't even mention he is subletting in your court document. Tell the judge you don't know who he is. The original tenant have moved out..

Do you have the copy of the tenancy agreement of the original tenant?

I think it's with the lawyer.
