Many of the Estates on this AXIS (NOT ALL PLS)  are scams.

Step one:     They part pay for a large piece of land from the local community and get the barest minimum level of paper work to make the ownership and sale legitimate. They scrape the main roads once or twice to convince people, or in some case put a few physical structures for effect.
Step two:     They sell forms through reputable banks  and sell at rock bottom prices with Minimal initial deposit, they hood wink people into believing the location is right on the expressway!!! or as close to lagos as possible.
Step three:  They fail to disclose to you that there are other Hidden charges which may be as high as =N=250k
Step Four:    They use the monthly contribution from subscribers to buy cars and generally improve their "STATUS"  and also pay up for the entire land.
Step Five:    The subscribers complete the payment and get the shock of their lives that they cannot be allocated the land except they pay unending fees and charges
Step Six:      If eventually you pursue them and pay all the fees (remember at this point the total cost would exceed the cost of getting good land in Lagos - Penny wise pound foolish !!!!) they will ALLOCATE land inside some bush you cannot develop immediately.

If you do not believe, please take a trip to mowe or ofada town and see all the so called estates. A piece of land they claim to be 500k may end up with  a final price of =N=900k to =N=1 million.

Please see recent publication from Ogun State Govt on many of these schemes, you definitely have to go perfect your papers after the purchase.

I fell victim once (will not mention the name of the scheme) and I will love to see all Mowe - Ofada land sellers to provide FULL disclosure of costs and Pictures of their estates on Nairaland. Moderator can you help out on this?

Hi H$LBroker,

Does the =N=800k include the cost of the title documents?

Thanks

Hi,

Does the =N=680k include the cost of perfecting? If not, how much will it cost to perfect the documents?

Cheers

For Mowe / Ofada axis MOST (but not all) are just SCAMS!!!

Step one:     They part pay for a large piece of land from the local community and get the barest minimum level of paper work to make the ownership and sale legitimate. They scrape the main roads once or twice to convince people.

Can someone authoritatively list out his achievements or failures so that Nairaland can know if OBi is actually working or not?

Femab is not known to be a serious property company. They fleece their customers and abandon them!!!! I suggest you perfect your papers and wait for the value to appreciate.

I bought their Dreamland estate at Ikorodu and the same thing no word from them, !!!!!! No activity, the roads are overgrown by weed and they care less.

All,, beware when you buy into all these Phantom schemes.

It's not bad , its not a curse, its not a crime, it's not a taboo, but its not STANDARD!!!!

The natural and spiritual laws put the man in the position of the breadwinner, men are designed to provide for the family without looking back or complaining. Women are designed to be cared for to be spoilt and loved with the children.

Where , due to economic reasons the woman is the breadwinner, it means one will be using a front wheel drive for off road tracks and it calls for a lot of patience, understanding, self confidence on the part of the man, and spiritual help. Frustration may cause both parties to crack atimes but its important that they both learn to overcome the pain until the situation improves

A man should be able to take charge of his home if he is earning more or less, Shikena

I think the problems with the Civil service are deeply rooted. If they introduce the clock in system, clocking will then be by proxy. The civil servants are very intelligent ( I am forced to admit this) and its extremely difficult to hold them byu the wrist.

I think it would be better for the government units to be run by consultants, this would bring the private sector discipline to bear on the civil service. I am an advocate for commercialisation and privatisation (not the Atiku - Grab grab way)

My heart goes out to the dead in Germany, May the Almighty Grant them the fortitude to bear the loss.

To forestall this kind of thing in future we should go back to our old saying , spare the ROD and spoil the CHILD!!! I was shocked to hear that children are not beaten again in our schools!!!! This is the highway to maral bankrupcy.

We should beat our children when they fall out of line and also talk to them and stop chasing money 24/7 without paying any form of attention to these tender minds.

God help us

190,

Its quite unafrican to joke over another man's loss or misfortune. I think its quite shallow of you.

Poster, my prayer is that you get over the trauma quickly and that the vehicle be recovered

Street gates are a menance!!!!

Street gates will only prevent buglars and not ARMED ROBBERS!!!

For those of us that work long hours and have to leave early and get home late these street gates are a source of frustration. Its unsafe for medical emergencies and if one is being chased from the outside.

I have discovered that most of the people who enforce the street gates are those who spend more time at home than on the streets. They do not see any reason why one should be outside by 7pm. Gbagada is an area you would not want to go before 6am or after 7pm.its crazy!!! You could add about 30 mins to your journey time.

Gov Fashola has made a bold move, more grease to his palms.

Friendl,

How much is is the first bus? is it in lagos? is it available for inspection?

Thanks

Im all in, mail sent.

LONG LIVE NIGERIAN DEVELOPMENT MOVEMENT AND THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMO IBO:
this is uncalled for man. you can't go on posting someones' picture without permission.

plz take the picture off

I honestly think we should respect the privacy of the children and leave them out of our fight for Good leadership. Kids do not have a choice over whom their parents would be, neither do most of them have control over the stealing habits of their parents. Some are even victims of their parent's queer habits.

Please and please lets not fight dirty by bringing innocent children into this mudslinging, please.

God bless you all as we wrestle all the Vagabonds in power to stop looting and mismanaging our funds.

WOW!!!

May the Almighty continue to be with you and the children and the entire family.

May the Lord strengten you as you fight this cause to prevent others from feeling the same kind of pain you feel today!!!!

This should be treated as a case of Criminal neglet and Manslaughter, to teach healthcare providers how to do their jobs well. It amazes me when one goes to Govt hospitals and they have NO sympathy for patients!!!

Public heathcare institutions go on with this inhumane act because people always link the result of their carelessness to acts of God or God's will and refuse to prosecute. If we learn to sue and get redress for wrong doings, people willlearn how to do their jobs well.

Plc Group,

I try not to insult people for expressing opinions but , come on!!!!!!!, You are probably too NAIVE, Unintelligent and hate driven to see that WAR has NO GAIN !!!!!!

I hereby confer on you the Award of "MOST MORONIC TRIBALIST OF THE MILLENIUM"

But seriously, with the hate and sentiments you display I suspect you might just end up as an another shina rambo (THE ARMED ROBBER WHO REIGNED A COUPLE OF YEARS BACK)

Repent and don't kill yourself with unreasonable sentiments, Ojukwu who started the war has assets all over the place and has since moved on. Along Onitsha Enugu highway I saw some Biafra amputees begging for money, go and ask them and they will tell you how sweet war is!!!!

God save your soul

Tolu10, SPOT ON.!!!

ikeyman00:
bro boladez

how much does it cost to aquire a nigerian driving licence

emm is there any custom along lagos-ibadon express way going to abuja i will suppose?

k what happens if your car is from cotonou benin, like u said just dnt provide no document course its fake, so what would u say to the custom men then

It costs about =N=5,000. Yes the customs guys are usually at the Ogere end of the toll gate and Ibadan end, They look at out for newly registered vehicles.

Can't see your email on your profile please let me have your email account and Ill give you some tips on how to get away with the customs papers matter.

waoosa and dgb4 have said it ALL, better you get a plain cloth police officer to accompany you. It usually costs about 20k (excluding transport and feeding). If you go with a uniformed officer they will probably think the car is just coming into Nigeria.

Have your

Driver's licence, insurance and vehicle licence - Required. (keep them aside and produce upon request), as back up (some are die hards) keep your Licence plate allocation receipt, custom papers (if the car came in thru lagos) if cotonou, pls do not show them anything cos the papers would be fake!!!; Proof of ownership cert, purchase aggreement / receipt , change of ownership and CMR. Get a radio and development levy sticker from the LG office near you, it costs about 1k (benin boys are there 24/7). Be extremely fast along the Benin byepass it has become a den of armed robbers. They rush out from the bush in large numbers and stop vehicles. The faster you move the better along the byepass.

Finally if you want the best trip ever leave lagos 5am sharp and you beat most of the police, customs and traffic.

Wish you a safe trip and congratulations
