6.5m

Yeepa! 6.5m for "gbangbo"

@bebe2

Cremation. Tufiakwa!

FEMAB is a good estate owned by a friend (Big Bro) and managed by colleagues in the field but it's a little higher than your budget. Priced between 8 - 12m. Go to the office directly, you can get a discount or lead to distress sales.
The Oga is easily accessible. You can speak with him directly.

Another good ground to sow if you're in quick return. It's upland.

Highly recommended areas that fall within your budget on the island/Lekki includes:

Badore, Ado, Owode/Langbasa, Thomas Estate, LBS, Sangotedo, Majek, Abijo GRA (next rated), Lakowe, LFTZ, Ogombo, Beachfront plots in Ibeju Lekki and more.

The koko of the matter is investing in fertile ground. Quick turnaround and not just tying down money.

i don tire oo

was planning to come home on the 7th of next month, but there is no need.

will wait till june. too complicated

Remember the steps. Even while you wait, keep working:

- Have a good plan.
- Pick some locations that align with your plan. Narrow it down to the best two.
- Research the two locations.
- Pay for the land. Fence and Perfect the documents.
- Test the waters. Check listings of lands within the area you're buying. The value and the growth rate (in 3 years, 7 years and 10 years). Create a marketing plan.
- Trust no agent. (I don't do 3rd parties nor recommend one)


Note: Don't get too excited or too emotional. If it's right, it's right! (Check for access roads, layout plan and everything you can think of).

For those who loved to invest across the borders. Here's something cool from our partner in Ghana.

@OP, I'm so sorry I brought this to your thread. I really wish there's something I can do to stop this but you know this is beyond me. I've opened official complaint thread for anyone who had issues with me but not so many can express what’s going on in their mind without outbursts or withdrawal.

As we all know that immaturity is contagious. So don't be surprised there's followership. Responding to all the barking will lead us nowhere.

@bebe2, the man in me doesn’t care what the boy in them thinks about me as long as I believe in what I'm doing.

Men take care of shits and not talk about it.

Let the thread come alive again.

abdulwastecx:
Send me one unit of those building and the soil text so I can do a prototype design and possibly a detail cost break down

Add me on whatsapp +2348023429122. There's a suspended slab that I will be doing in few weeks. I'm planning to use anything but concrete for the slab. It'll be concealed in the attic cos the estate does not approve 3 floors.

Let's talk about this also.

abdulwastecx:
Their is this foundation solution I want to discuss with you.. ..
Waffle foundation type use on a loose soil, similar to raft foundation.
It is more cost effective and can stay well on loose soil.
Volume of concrete is reduced, foundation is monotically cast, no need for sand filling and reduced Formwork since only the exterior perimeter will be board

Tell me more. I'm building 30 units of that building where I took that pics for a Nairalander this year. The terrain is loose soil.

I'll be roofing the first prototype in few days. So, tell me something I'd love to hear.

abdulwastecx:
Fresh man...
Solid and beautiful structure

There are complex application of woods. I'll post more pics later.

Wood Structures. More pics shortly

NL1960:
This shows that the guy is not a serious person. Here is somebody who is out of work and complaining of inability to feed his family getting a response from one of the top builders here who has showcased his projects with addresses and he is telling the person to call him. If iam Segcymoor, he has already failed a simple test and will not employ such a person because he will bring such a lazy attitude into the work.

Oga segcymoor, pls do a make-up test for our guy. At times, we get too anxious and forget ourselves in the line.

Baba NL1960, abeg on my guy's behalf o.

@Tevanso, NL no be Federal Civil Service Commission o. For here, na everybody be the HR.

tevanso:
I stay in lagos / ibadan; I don't mind relocating to any part of the country .u can reach me with 08060506857

Tevanso, if I'm to mark your first test. I'll score you 2/10.

What an epic response to the opportunity before you! You can as well say I reside in Nigeria.

Change your tack. Hold yourself in high esteem, Seize the Opportunity and Share your CV. It costs you nothing.

You can never tell!

OnetimeOnly:
Good nite .it has been a pleasure sparring with you. Really.
I actually admire you and your motivation and drive to defraud your clients and plough ahead with your scams..it's really something!!

I'm done with you.

Very touching.

OnetimeOnly:
There is no contest here again. You have been caught in the web of your lies... so your client bought the same property twice abi? Stop lying this thing won't help you.... you continue to lie in the face of overwhelming evidence. That your imaginary client was a tenant does not mean he bought into it before 2009

It's not my duty to expose the fake. In due time, they expose themselves. The wise already know what's happening.

Good night bro! I got better things to do right now. The Jesus you seek is no longer here, he's risen

OnetimeOnly:
People should be wiser really. You're a fraud and LIAR and people should be aware of that before taking your advice or engaging your ' services'

To the other thread readers I do not mean to derail this thread. just make people aware of the reputation of this fraudster and not fall into his well packaged fake builder / investment adviser trap.

Thanks. Let's move on!

Getting angry on faceless forum is been childish! I won't give it to you bro. I deal with facts and not tales by the moonlight.

OnetimeOnly:
BRABUS STOP LYING

Nice attempt to muddle the issue.

Did your client buy into 1004 estate 20 years ago? That is fact. It is not in dispute.
Until I brought up UACN you never mentioned it. Any former resident of 1004 was a government employee who was kicked out. The complex was renovated and sold to private people in 2009. If a former resident bought a flat he bought it in 2009...

You think you can come here and spin your tales by moonlight. There are people in the real world who know facts on ground. Don't come here and think you will lie and get away with it .

Yes, he bought into it 20 years ago as a Senior Officer in the Federal Civil Service. Then, he actually bought it when it was taken over by 1004 Estates Ltd and sold to "private people" which includes former occupants with vested interest. And sold it in 2015.

Hope I've answered your question.

Read the 3rd paragraph of the link you just posted.

EgunMogaji:
How many wooden structures have you constructed from this eloquent sources that you mentioned?

On your Hacienda, as a vocal builder on here, is there a single wooden structure on the premises?

I haven't done much with woods but I have a lot of experience about this and im taking my time to get it right.

My Chateau is still a work in progress. I intend to have pergola structure in some areas. But time and chance no dey. It's long overdue.

OnetimeOnly:
Who were the real investors? Answer... was it not UACN?
Or your imaginary client was an owner of UACN Abi?

FYI : uacn is a public company listed on the nigerian stock exchange with tens of not hundreds of thousands of Nigerian shareholders

I'm done with these beer parlour gist. Get more facts and come back here to apologize for publishing unfounded stories.

- "Buy into" is not the same thing as "Buy"
- Research the role of 1004 Estates Ltd and why it was incorporated and come back to feed us new thing bro.
- What about the roles of the former occupants who held UPDC to ransom after the takeover?
- What about the old occupants who have vested interest in the properties?

I believe people are wiser now. Name calling won't make you popular but true facts. I give you facts from UACN website and not from the usual joint where we dey meet

http://www.uacnplc.com/news/updc/19052005.htm

OnetimeOnly:
So he bought it 20 years ago?

LIAI LIAR pants on fire!!!

Please read with understanding bro. "Buy into" and "buy" means different thing. Check your dictionary to find the meanings.

Have a good night!

OnetimeOnly:
This is a LIE
Whoever this person is (if he really exists) cannot have owned a 1004 flat for up to 10 years talkless of 20!!!

1004 was government owned until 2007 when it was sold to UACN property development Plc

1004 was not sold to private people until 2009. Another example of brabus and his fairy tales and lies that he spins to hoodwink unsuspecting aspiring property owners.

Except that the imaginary client of mine was a decorated officer of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. They use to occupy the 1004 building until it was sold to a group of investors in 2007. Find out who the real investors were. 1004 dates back to almost 3 decades now.

Bros, take am softly. You don't have to believe all you read online. Do yourself a little more favour, dig further and prove all things.

You can become more popular feeding people with facts and not publishing unfounded stories.
