Flesh10:
Good morning guys and happy new year.

Recall that some weeks ago I made a post about my experience searching for a house

https://www.nairaland.com/7484487/which-these-two-houses-should

But after 5months of rigorous search, paying agents and burning an average of 5 to 10k daily on transport and agent all in the name of inspection I finally got a place.

I didn't take the one in ikeja/ogba anymore after listening to suggestions of people here, I abandoned both that of Ogba and Aboru and continued my search.

Someone told me that taking a house of 650k per annum means I will spend the year working for landlord, as a single it may look easy for me to pay but by the time wife enters things may no longer look funny, that was the reason I abandoned the ikeja/ogba house. For me Aboru was never an option because the transportation cost alone is much plus it is flood prone.

My search took me to places like ayobo, iyana ipaja, agege, iyana Isolo, egbeda Berger, Ogba, alagbole, obawole, idinmu, Olodi apapa

One thing I noticed is that there is a sharp increase in house right now and this started since June 2022. Also people will give opinion based on how much they rented their place and how much they are paying not realizing that presently things have changed badly.

So, I go a decent place in an Estate in awodi Ora axis (close to mile 2). It seemed very far from my place of work but one thing that informed my decision is that

1. It is in a gated estate with security
2. The compound is gated with its own security and enough parking space to accommodate more than 8 cars
3. Extremely neat and serene, been there several times without hearing noise or kids jumping up and down, they are at home but always indoor and quiet
4. The rooms are very spacious (unlike the small spaces they showed me and called huge amount)
5. There is running water and a personal prepaid meter for every tenant.
6. Neighbors and passerby testified about the compound that its a good place and there is progress
7. Yearly rent is 300k per annum.
8. Trekkable distance to mile 2

The downside of this place is just that I will spend more on transportation going to ikeja daily about (1600 daily). But I can overlook the transport, I am not a salary earner so there are days I get some kind money like that. But for me to Carry that 650k OR 700k yearly for landlord, it will cause me big headache.

Reason I didn't go-to nearby axis like egbeda, iyana ipaja, agege, ayobo they didn't resonate with my spirit. Ayobo felt like I was going to ogun state, agege and iyana ipaja hmmmmm the environment and faces alone I saw scared me. Egbeda standard housed begins from 500k, didn't want anything close to that.

One thing I learnt is that the houses you see on Jiji, tolet.ng, private property, propertypro etc don't exists.

Those agents upload fine houses with cheap prices to lure you so you can pay their inspection fee then they start showing you rubbish.

I paid over 20 agents in almost every area of Lagos mainland and suburbs yet only Mr Martins in Ogba really worked, it pains me that I didn't get the house from him because he was like a father, patient and wasn't desperate for commission (I will settle him once I settle in the new house)

Please if you need a house around Ogba, Berger, ikeja, Obawole contact mr Martin or Emmanex property 08038221196

We saw several houses some agents were trying to convince me to take, but Mr Martins would tell me the pros and cons of the house and why I shouldn't take it. We saw one like that I liked it but he told me the house belongs to a Baale and he wouldn't want his client to be in a place where rituals take place, I ran away. We saw another place nice house but troublesome landlord, he told me the history of the place and why I should leave it.

1600 daily multiplied by all the working days in a year minus weekends will give you approx 384,000.

Add it to your rent..


Pennywise pound foolish.

GOTVee:
Even though I'm a born again Christian , I will encourage we Christians to emulate our Muslim brothers and sisters by abstaining from that filthy animal called pig. The bible warns we Christian to abstain from consumption of pig in Deuteronomy 14:8. Any Christian that consumes pork meat will end up in Hell

lmao. You are not yet a born again christian with this foolish mindset.

Oga IGP even has time to beg citizens to join the Police..


If the Police is understaffed, it's the same citizens who will suffer..

As much as the Police has its own shortcomings and challenges, it is still very key in stemming the breakdown of law and order..

All these Nigerians forbidding their kids from joining the Police, whose kids do you then want to join the police and do the dirty but very important job of law enforcement? ..

they will end up recruiting bala blu goats into the police. E no hard them.

Even enny2013 is thanking God you are not her brother.

Because i dont get it. How in the world would you feed cloth and provide for an idïot who says you should cook and clean and take out the trash for her?

She ment? Place her where she belongs.. Let her work for her money for five years and see if she wont be grateful if you decide to foot her bills.

This useless feminist still wants support from a man.. Mchew.
