Op. Your thread is fantastic, eye opener and educative.
For me, I have tried my hands on, among others:
a. Insurance policy marketing
b. Building contract supervision
c. Govt. supply
d. AGO sales in surface tanks.
Now I am trying to raise a loan to kick start a viable and strong based business that has the assurance of paying back the principal and 150% interest in 4months. Though, in the course of sourcing for this loan. I have been approached by fraudsters, dream and idea poachers. Yet I am not relenting in the establishment of the tested vision.

What did the make-up of the self-contain. Is it a room, parlour, kitchen, toilet etc. Is water flowing in the apartment? Is there car park available within the compound? Is it located in quiet environment? Is there reasonable power supply? Please submit the answers to enable me decide.

Apart from the stated N200k, what other charges are you going to be demanding for? Reply awaited.

Kunle, I think I will take your advice and conclude transsaction on the N1.3m offer. Thanks.

NB Kunle. The pictures I am refering to are labelled C and H.

Kunle thanks for your offer.
I noticed that the pictures you sent are for two cars (check out pictures C and G, why these). Is the car a manual or auto driven?
Though I have an offer for a gold coloured one at N1.3million to my doorstep (custom duty inclusive). Is this amount also accepted to you? If positive, let me know and also let me have the VIN of the car.
Waiting.

Yes, I know it is manual. And that is what I want. Let me know what your Pre-Order will cost, and I hope your price will be competitive.

Do you have an Infinity G35 2004 model car for sale? Contact me now on bowiehertzgroup@yaoo.com or 0703-9822-651. No time wasters please.

The OP really makes my day. All my observations are clearly stated by the OP.
What these so-called agents dont know is that, any business that overpriced itself will gather dusts on the shelf. Upon visiting the agent they will tell you to buy them a recharge card in order to source you an apartment. A guy I met on NL, after calls, I went to him in order to inspect an apartment he told me he has on Ikorodu Road for my office use. On getting to him, he took me on a wild goose chase to three different locations which did not belong to him but to other agents. And I can see him practically begging them to come (as they are not on ground) and open the apartments for inspection. When I asked him why is he taking me on the merry-go-round, he stated that their business is based on networking. It then dawned on me that the guy has no vacant apartment on his own to let and he only want to ride on the back of other agents.
Equally, most of them are law breakers - they are demanding for 2 years advance rent instead of Lagos State stipulated 1 year advance rent law. And I have observed that they want 2 years advance rent because of their greed!!

I am interested in your car. Can you let me have your last price and where the vehicle is located.

I am interested in your car. What is your last price? Send me detailed pictures (interior, engine, luggage compartment etc) at the earliest possible time to my email: hiteck_consult@yahoo.com

@Bowie11, Let me tell you, if i advertise a property and say 2years, all that have come to negotiate said One year then whats your business,Am I the Landlord who owns the house? then go ahead and do what ever you want to do. I dont give a damn uhmm. All i can do is to leave you to go and get one year rent elsewhere and then do what ever you want to do, yours wouldnt be the first and its not new and then lets seee, because if we didnt see then you are nothing but a foool, You will see.

No matter who you are i tell you Go TO HELL. No wonder someone can take you all around lagos looking for houses ,if you are been paid 30k a month why not go and live on the sea, without seeing what you want and all you can do is to come to nairaland and start complaning, I just wonder who you are and what kind of human being you are. 

I am not a fool uhmmm and I have my status too thats how you guys land yorself into trouble over what doesnt concern you, You dont know who you are talking to and you just open your mouth and say rubbish on here.

If you own nairaland i bet it you will kill people, thats why i am telling you that you are noting but  a chicken, and  'your fly is following dead body into the grave'. so you say, I dont know what i did that you just keep abusing me , If i say two years, am i the owner of the house? and if you cant afford 2 years why not just keep quite and look somewhere else. I just wonder some people behavior at times is what leads them to trouble. So man I dont want to bleeping know who you are I said it. So if you think you are planning something bad against me just watch it and them let it fly, if you bear the consequence too pleading will not solve it.

Tell me where I break the law? and tell me what evidence you have, or tell me where i stand to be a criminal on here, or did someone tell you i collect money from him on a house? you are nothing but a fool. You're just bragging thats all I can say. and you will show me what I did, if i did someone bad. I am just too sorry for you.

Just bleep off uhmm, I dont bloody care.

You don't bloody care
Well my reply to all your tirades is "THANK YOU VERY MUCH".
It seems you have forgotten that your acts with the your so-called landlords is Aiding and Abetting in commiting a crime against the State.
I have said enough!!

@resortprop
I have said it earlier 'your fly is following dead body into the grave'.
You may insult or abuse me to high heaven, I am not moved or affected. One thing is obvious either of us will laugh last. Your ignorance of the power of internet and NairaLand is lost on you. Be careful, not everybody on NairaLand or NairaLanders are whom you should toy with. You should know that social sites are one avenue or source of intelligence gathering and easy source of apprehension of law breakers and/or criminals. I will stop here. Dont cry or beg when the day come, as you wont be given audience.

@resortprop
Your greed and longer-throat that is making you to DEMAND FOR 2 YEARS ADVANCE RENT from prospective tenants as against the Law of the land will send to jail. Keep on demanding, your fly is following dead body into the grave.

@abptcess
I need your detailed info about your apartment at Aguda:
.ie. 1. Photographs, 2. Rental, agreement and commission cost, 3. How many toilet and bath, 4. Any car park, 5. Is it located in a quiet neighbourhood, 6. Is it having a lived-in landlord/lady, 7. Is it pay and park in, 8. Will it go for any renovation, 9. Where is it located in Aguda?
Your response to the above 9 requests will enable me to meet with you for its inspection and occupation. Awaiting.

Op: I read the brickbats between you and @bestkara and I presume you did'nt put decency into your initial response to his offer. Though I saw that you have make up with the shortcoming.

@bestkara: Is it by-force that the Op MUST sell the car to you after his initial rejection of your 700k offer? Please move on and stop bothering him.

I would like to have the detailed photographs, documents, price etc through this forum or 08156798266 or bowiehertzgroup@yahoo.com asap.

How about N250k?
Did it has any problem to be fixed?
Is the AC working perfectly?
Is it pay and drive off?

My budget is N250k - N300k.

@op
What is the total package of the 2 bed room flat off kilo surulere for 350k pa?
Did the flat contains running pipe borne water INSIDE the flat and in the compound?
Did the flat has car park, power aupply, located in quiet environment and no lived-in landlord/lady?
Is it pay and pack-in?
Please give the answers to the above questions, and who knows I may come and pay for it.

[b]I am a proud Nigerian from Edo State that believes in the country and that each one of us has a role to play in setting the country on the right track to go other than complaining.
It is in the light of the above patriotic reason I want to state this observation. Most times I get irritated by the rush of those in governments' position to twist or distort history due to their selfish interest, myopic views or politics.
Alausa as its known by everybody and from times past literally means "Owners of Hausa or Hausa settlement or King of Hausa", which inevitably means the establishment of the place/location had something to do with the Hausas or Northerners. But it is now common for Radio Lagos, Eko FM and Lagos Television preference to twist Alausa to means "The owner of walnut or Farmland of walnut".

For crying out loud, are they now using the government machinery to distance the area, being the seat of Lagos State Government of having anything to do with the Hausas (Northerner), or when did it now become an abomination for the Hausas' to have any foundation in Ikeja? Its just fortunate that as much as the Lagos State Governments' machinery are trying their best to change history which had already being established even before they were born. History will still stand against their bashing.

ALAUSA
The mix of ironies

The name naturally conjures the image of a spectacle akin to the “sabos” in all major towns in the country – pious of Mallams praying on goat skin under the shade of trees; an over made-up milk maiden serving “fura” to an embroiderer who, needle in hand, sits with a “babanriga” he is in a hurry to finish; or a “tuwo” seller splashing some stew on the white stuff with her wooden ladle.
One would expect to find “suya” kilns, kolanut warehouses, ram markets, lorries, trucks and trailers and probably, hear at least five times before the end of the day, sonorous voices filtering from the public address systems of nearby mosques, calling the faithful’s of Islam to worship.
Paradoxically, the town called Alausa which, translated, literally means “Hausa Settlement” presents a totally different picture from the pre-conceived image.
There is not a single Hausa man living in it as a bonafide resident – not even the ubiquitous provisions sellers often found roosting as “megadis’” at the frontage of the homes of the rich and private firms’ premises.
It took five days of diligent search, of trudging on its dirt roads and sometimes sleazy streets, snout-poking into the people’s homes and combing all the nooks and corners to confirm this curious fact.
Each second, each tread turned out to be nothing but an excursion into a world of ironies – a world in which startling discoveries were to be made everywhere the beam of flashlight was directed.
The town called Alausa is in the real sense, no town as such. It is one of the settlements which, until quite recently, existed as separate entities in the geographical areas that have come to be known as Lagos metropolis.
The exigencies of modernisation and imperatives of expansion, occasioned by population growth of the city had fused all into one whole.
Located at the north-eastern fringe of Ikeja Local Government, the community, according to one of its leaders, occupies an area of above seventy acres. It is bound in the east by Oregun and in the west, from the Agindingbi, by Ogba.
Its precincts also extend to the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway toll-gate and all the areas now occupied by Eleganza Industries, 7Up Bottling Company and the Lagos State Secretariat Complex.
As a matter of fact, Alausa – the appellation alternatively used for Lagos State Secretariat derives from the name of the community founded over 200 years ago.
Oral traditions diverge on the origin of the name of the town.
Pa Dauda Odewale, an octogenarian and descendant of one of the three patriarchs who founded the town got its name from two war refugees, a Nupe man and an Hausa, who sought shelter from the early settlers – Jogunosinmi, Odewale and Bashorun.
The northerners were said to have fled the war-front (Ogunsope Ayinbokoru war) and ran to Akiola, a local chieftain at Oke-Isheri Olofin (present Isheri). Akiola refused to harbour them but prevailed on his friends and neighbours (the trios) who were trying to establish a settlement of their own to give them refuge.
Over the years, the population of the “foreigners” tripled that of the inhabitants as they were later joined by their friends and relations. It was not long before the settlement, formerly variously called “Abule Jogunosinmi”, “Abule Odewale” or “Abule Bashorun” after their founders came to be known as “Abule Tapa” (Nupe post) and much later “Alausa” or “that of Hausas”.
Pa Odewale recalled meeting some of Hausas’ festivals and cultural activities in his youth days. They used to beat their drums and blow animal horns. Some wore charms and stabbed themselves with knives without drawing any blood or causing any injury.
He remembered some of their leaders’ names to be “Me Turari and Suya Ogunda Meta”.
Another octogenarian called Pa Buraimoh said it was through one of the three progenitors and the first Baale of the community that the Hausa came.
Buraimoh was a horse trader who supplied Europeans and wealthy African coastal chiefs with horses for their wheel carts (a means of transportation in fashion then). To case his trade, Bashorun had stable hands, expectedly, Hausas, who were also responsible for bringing the horses from the North.
Their population soon grew enormously and a space had to be provided for them at the outskirts of the town precisely, the spot where the Lagos State Broadcasting Corporation (LSBC complex) now stands. The place was known then as “Oke Dadi”.
The Baale and his court appointed a “Seriki” (Leader) to adjudicate civil cases among them while serious cases had to be brought to the Bale's attention.
In the simplest of senses, the Hausas’ continued living in the community was at the pleasure of the Baale, who began, perhaps not too – wrongly, to be called “Olu Alausa” (owner of the head of the Hausas).
Alausa was popularised by traders’ of the period who used to drop by to hire the Hausas as porters to help to carry their goods to and fro the coast to Lagos.
But what came of the Hausas who give the town its name?
The last surviving generation, said an 80 year-old indigene and traditional pharmacist Alhaja Asaratu Bashorun (a.k.a Majekobaje), became extinct some 50 years ago. Others simply emigrated to other parts of the country.
Today there is nothing in the town to indicate that its landscape used to swarm with Hausas, save for one or two ancient and ramshackle bungalows said to have been built by two Hausa men.
The houses stand grotesquely on Odewale Street, as relics of their owners past.
The departure of the Hausas from their midst caused the natives of Alausa no grief. But one thing that caused them great sorrow and wracked their entire psyche was the loss of the sacred python, the symbol of the life and soul of the community.
“Olu Odo” or “Olodo” as it was called was said to be the source and controller of the Eleregun Stream on which the community depended for water. It was revered because it was said to be the snake that assisted the founding fathers to settle where they did.
The patriarchs who, married into the royal families of Onilegbale, Suenu and Aromire were ordered by the Ifa Oracle to sojourn and settle near a stream in order to have children.
During their journey, they came upon the snake and the stream in which it lived. It became the emergent clan’s god-head, regularly worshiped and offered sacrifices.
The stream course, Lagos Horizon discovered on the fact-finding mission, extended as far as Onigbongbo area of Maryland. People were forbidden to kill or ear its fish.
Violation of that taboo of then had disastrous consequences such as drought or mosquito invasion of the community. This normally called for propitiatory sacrifices to an angered Olodo.
Ironically, the snake which tried to protect the lives in and out of its water seemed unable to save itself from the tragic fate that befell it! Some 24 years ago, it was killed by fatal chemical wastes discharged from various industries in the area.


I hope with the above expose, the management of Radio Lagos, Eko FM, LTV will see it wise to change their stance on the distortion of history.

@omolajaone
I am still expecting the pixs and other details I requested for.

@resortprop
Is the 2 Bedroom Flat price of N500k and N550k for per annum or for the two years?
And, I hope the one at Moore Road is not a glorified BQ rooms?
Your reply will be appreciated.

@lanpets
Your doing the right is hereby appreciated. Thanks.

@omolajaone
I am still awaiting your reply.

@paparave
If you like abuse me from now 'til kingdom come, I won't decend to your low level reasoning.

THE QUESTIONS STILL REMAINS (which you have also tactically avoided), AND EVERYONE WILL NEED YOUR ANSWERS:
1. Give us the the car's engine, interior, dashboard, exterior photographs.
2. The reason, why in all places, the photographs of the car submitted has to be taken in a car wash.
3. Its VIN.
4. Reason why you are selling the car?
5. As you wrote "I have sold about more than 5cars here" Are you a dealer?
6. If you are a dealer, where is the physical address of your showroom?
7. As a dealer, what is your dealership certificate number?

Selling "more than 5cars here(sic)" is not a yardstick to measure you as genuine person. Car snatchers, stolen car receivers, dubious car dealers, car jackers, armed robbers, thieves has access to various types of vehicles and they use the unanonimous forum created by social websites to dispose them off. So, your alibi, reasoning or justification holds no water.

Before you fly off in rage or continuing the barrage of abuse on me. PROVE ME WRONG AND ANSWERS THE QUESTIONS I PUT TO YOU. THE WHOLE WORLD IS WAITING. But if you sweep the questions under the carpet or ignore me. I will label all your offers as CAVEOT (BUYERS BEWARE).
