If things have not changed you would be given a time frame to produce it.

Please do yourself a favor if you can afford all the fees, its gives you rest of mind. As to the question @bold it's does on both. If you build any property without proper government documents and paid fees. God for bit if anything happen in future yes it's may be very difficult for you to proof ownership or clam compensation from government. We most always try to do thing the right way like this subject matter, NOT finished building before submitting plain for approval.

Alright

Hello guys, Happy Sunday..

Please I need advise.

I bought my family land and would want to construct a house immediately on it.

Someone suggest I do the C of O after building a house and is better because the C of O will reflect also the value of the house, in case of government destruction tomorrow and need to be compensated by the Government or as collateral for banks..

My surveyor disputes this and says it means nothing, that is better to do it now if I have the money. Building a house does not give more value to a C of O before bank and govt, that in most cases, is just land that is seen and not property situated on the land.


I need advise please, which is better and is there any difference?? Do governments and banks compensate or estimate Ur collateral based on the property valuation of Ur C of O or just the land value C of O??

I hope my question makes sense

Tomeee:
If I talk now they’ll start thinking someone is a scammer.
Just a suggestion; it’s cheaper to get a sponsor than do block account. But if you have the funds, you can go ahead.

klonboi:
Good evening all, please how can I get a reliable person in Germany to help me fund a block account?

Hmmmmmmmmmmm........ Please what's the Eur rate in Nigeria, here is hovering around 620. Be careful o, this is not a small money.

I think another thing is cost for transfer, it shouldn't be more than 50k now in Nigeria...

In Nigeria, everyone just want to eat U, everybody from Ur girlfriend to acquaintance to relatives and strangers. I feel d supposed good some do, is to get appreciated handsomely

Before coming back to the country, I already knew I would be spending atleast one year before thinking of leaving the country again. Since I will be spending quite sometime, I need to organize myself. So I got a place rented in the capital city of Abuja and also bought a 2012 Toyota Camry, the latter will become my worst nightmare.

While standing infront of the exit door of the Abuja International Airport waiting for my friend to pick me from the airport with the newly bought car, I received a bad news. The car just turned itself off on their way to the airport. Imagine the first time of seeing your car was on a towing van? It was not my first car, what happened? How did I enter into this mess. That's for a later time, for now, I will use Bolt to leave the airport and to meet the car on the road with my sister and my friend all standing like passengers on the road.

I like to organize myself, I hate to rush things. I try my best to plan everything I do before I do them. I avoid alot of mistakes while doing this, though not in the case of this vehicle.

I have always loved Camry 2012, before leaving the country, I knew it was my next car and I worked towards it. I watched the price move from N3m to 3.5m to 4m to 5m. So while I plan my return, I already knew this was the car of my choice. I told my friends to look out for one so I don't get to spend much money on Uber/Bolt or even struggle in public transport. One of my friend in Lagos saw Tokunbo Toyota Camry, 2012 model (The way I like it) and sent me the pictures. I quickly forwarded it to my guy in Abuja who went to inspect it. He sent me the VIN and I contacted the nairaland ComputerGlobal guy for vehicle history. I ran two checks on it including the one with auction pictures, everything turned green and ready to go.

I still called my former colleague for his engine check device (forgotten the name), told my guy to go pick it, which he did, inserted it in the car and sent some pictures, there was absolutely no issue found. Since everything seem to be looking good, I proceeded to exchange euros for naira in preparation for the purchase. It was N4m and it was bought in Royal Brims Autos Mabushi Abuja (Don't ever go there).

3 days after the purchase of the vehicle, the first issue started the car was packed and unused by anyone, yet it was leaking oil. I recall asking my guy to look out for oil leakage (I later learned he wasn't very thorough, he only depends on the sound of the engine and how smooth it changes gear to make decisions) and there was no issue found. So how did this start? We changed the first oil seal, it was still dripping oil, then the next was the one between the engine and gear box, meaning they have to drop the engine. This is a car that has never been used. The registration was ongoing. They removed the engine, changed the seal and the leakage stopped, but created many problems. It was Paul Shrivastava (1987) who said that "when a triggering event occurs, spontaneous reactions by different stakeholders solve some of the immediate problems, but they also create new problems – thus prolonging the crisis and making it worse."

The new problem that was 'created' by just changing the oil seal was that the new mechanic, call him engineer, didn't only couple everything back, he also forgot to add water to the radiator, so while my friend and my sister were on their way to the airport to pick me, as they never expected anything to happen, they didn't pay attention to the temperature gauge without knowing there is no water in the radiator, the engine over heat itself, burned gasket and and the car turned itself off.

So the first time of seeing the car was on the road, in a vegetative state, hopeless and I used police to arrest the Auto Repair guy and the owner of the place (this was the next biggest mistake of all time).

So in a single day, I was welcomed back to Nigeria, became like a real Nigerian, experiencing all the deceits, fraud, and corruption that exist across the entire country. I entered my house by 11PM the day I came back, after spending the entire day at the police station with the most useless Nigerian police force.

I will go on to experience one of the worst car issues, burning more than N1m within a month, including buying a new engine for the vehicle before deciding to sell it before it takes everything I came back with


Let's continue tomorrow guys.

Why didn't U buy it directly from contact in USA or Canada?

Sorry to say this, I fear doing auto business with my country people, , considering i know little about it and am not a mechanic and these mechanics can also scheme U out for their own economic interests. What I mean is that, I don't trust any assurance from my Nigeria people on anything autos. The prices from abroad might be the same at the end of the day with the prices at home, going with the skyrocketing custom clearance and other bills, or it could be cheaper with 100k thereabout.

That's d best option

It's a tough situation, although I am not holding brief for importers but it takes time for the goods paid for with the high dollar rate to arrive Nigeria, get cleared and be consumed in the market before the goods they will buy at these lower dollar rates will arrive much layer, maybe even next year.

The same question am asking, even cement just now decided to go up her own.

There's a saying price never gets down in Nigeria if it goes up

asadex004:
Hello please I am new her, I am not yet familiar with all there abbreviations I am seeing. What is the meaning of Visum, AD, AM etc. and again must I use IELTS? Can’t I use the English Language in my WAEC certificate? Thanx as you reply.

AD is appointment date at the Embassy for interview.
AM is approval mail or visa approved.
You must not use IELTS but a provisional certificate from your university admitting your Proficiency and learning in English is ok for most schools. I don't know about WAEC

CollinsAnozie21:
Please who knows about German National visa, Is one really permitted to work with it and how could it be changed to German work/residence permit?

Please don't be scammed bro, is good U are asking questions here

spyder880:
Door frame N3500
Door, keys, handles and installation N15,500
Total N19,000

That's fair

spyder880:
The cost variance between the two is about N20,000, multiply by 60 doors in the house and you have N1,200,000 as the difference between the two choices.

This is a rented apartment and we should always consider the return on investment.

These ones cost you how much?

Sorry, I get u

spyder880:
Doors, keys about to be fitted........

Are these doors cheaper than foreign doors? Foreign will be finer than these ones that looks too local

Na lie !!

spyder880:
I have to change strategies here. I know I cannot hope to complete all 12 flats and rent them at once, so I will move to complete at least 2 flats and rent them out, since the demand for these units are high around here. Then I can use the small rent realised to tackle another flat or two.

"When the hills learns how to cause waist pains, the old woman will learn how to rest in between climbs" - Igbo proverb.

How much will be the rent for this 1 bedroom there?

My problem with contractors is they will take many jobs at the same time and end up being at the site. Always shuttling one place to another at the detriment of a quality work

Money no dey, so we cut it down to 2 storey

Don't mind me, we considered the number of tenants that will be living in one compound (16) different people if we make it 3 storey, then we cancelled the idea and left it with 12 tenants instead.

I heard on Friday that they sold the only 2 remaining plots in my street 10m for the unfenced one and 12m for the one with fence and gate. I bought for around N6.5m or more than that ending of 2019. More plots will be available for sale in this area, but not this street.

This is one plot of 60 x 100.

Happy Sunday my people.

Ok bro.

This was originally 3 storey, but while 2 now? Please how much is land this area now and is it available? Urs is 1 plot
