I'm base in lag and my Dad has Neva 4 once ask 4 2yrs house rent in any of his houses....u knw y I say it won't work? Cos many tenants here in lag have criminal minds imagine sm tenants oweing 6months house rent wreas dey dnt look 4pple nt broke...in ds part of d world many pple lacks sincerity dts y I said it won't work

Well after 6 months your dad can legally evict them. Tenants like that take advantage of the present eviction laws which says a landlord must give 6 months eviction notice if the tenant pays annual rent. However, if they were paying a monthly rent, your dad only needs to give them one month eviction notice.

Femich18:
This can't work in Nigeria... U expect me to collect my house rent monthly? Wt ll happen if d tenants com up with stupid stories dt dey r not being paid dre salary... That can't work here My able Minister

Who says it can't work? It will work if it becomes a law of some sort and tenants begin to insist on paying in accordance with such laws.

Do you know that in Lagos more landlords are now willing to collect one year rent from new tenants? Why did this happen? Because a lot of potential tenants now are telling agents they want an apartment where they can pay for just one year. Some landlords realized that their apartments would remain empty if they didn't shift ground. It was simply a case of demand and supply. I had such an experience in 2013. After much shakara insisting on two years, the agent came back and informed me that the landlord had agreed to collect rent for one year.

But initially people said it wouldn't work.

doncaster:
In western world salary are paid monthly as at when due. What will a tenant tell the landlord when he is owned 10 months salary. If you are a landlord/lady will you allow your tenant(Govt worker owned 10 months salary) to stay put on such ground? Be sincere.

One is ok for me thou.

Bro, I guess you didn't see this part: "He added that a more rigorous enforcement system for eviction would then be worked out for anyone in default.”

Truth is paying a year or two years rent upfront is a burden on so many families, especially young couples with young kids, when you earn monthly. The government worker who is being owed 10 months salary is more like to hustle and raise 25k easily every month (assuming his rent is 300k per annum) than having to run from pillar to post trying to raise the full sum at the end of the year.

For those in the private sector whose salaries are paid on time. You can even ask your banker or accountant officer to deduct and transfer from source without having to even touch the money.

I hope the government can succeed in pulling this through.

dabriggs:
Well,

We can only be sure of those we love, we can never be sure of those who love us.

Also, two people cannot go mad at the same time.

That they do not love you does not mean you must hate them.

When the country chooses not to help you, do not chose not to help yourself. Keep a positive outlook.

Fueling hate takes so much work. Plenty of emotional and mental strain and drain.

The hated man is the result of his hater’s pride rather than his hater’s conscience.

Hate will eventually destroy the hater.

Hate and a negative outlook is too great a burden to bear. It injures the hater more than it injures the hated.

People will love you, people will hate you. That is how life is. If Nigeria does not love me, I do not know. I chose not to hate it.

Wa gbayi!!! Best post I've seen on Nairaland all year.

Still can't wrap my brain around the 'standing up immediately the plane lands' bit. Even when the pilot is constantly repeating that people should please remain seated until the plane comes to a stop. For where, my naija people go stand begin open luggage compartment. I'm like wtf

Omotolu:
It's honorary,stupid. Honorary degrees have no value on recipients. Get a life,NANS!

First sensible post. NANS lost direction in 1999 with the advent of politicians. I will start taking them serious when I read headlines like:

NANS questions Buhari over percentage of budget allocated to education.

Stop harassing female students for sex for grades. - NANS

Still waiting for Mourinho to bring out the best in Falcao.

Mukina, abeg no ask of Edwife this night o. I hear she now supports QPR.

buchilino:
DATS NOT JUSTICE

Says who? So we should wait until all the rapist, armed robbers,kidnappers and other criminals are apprehended before we prosecute all of them at the same time? Where is that done around the world. Even if two people go to rob at the same time and one is caught, that one will face prosecution while his mate is still on the run.

That's how justice works.

This is like a man who couldn't satisfy his ex wife sexually or impregnate her, now telling her new husband how to do it. Laughable stuff I tell you.

Olisa Metuh. But of course. Next?

I love the giant rubber ducky. That cloud that formed indoors though? Gerrerahere mehn!

Congrats to the U23 team. Looking forward to the Olympics.

joseph1013:
Daniel is my player of the tournament. His saves won us this tournament.

I can't but agree with you. I hope they can include him in the CHAN list.

I can't really say who is telling the truth here, but I only have two things to say on this issue.

1. We need to learn as a people that blocking major highways or even minor side streets in the name of religion, rallies, conventions, protests etc, thereby causing hardship to other road users is wrong and unacceptable. Your right to free association and religious alliances should not infringe on other people's rights to free and peaceful movement.

If you must even have a road procession in large numbers, then get the police and traffic management authorities involved to help manage the situation and if possible create alternative routes. Christians, Muslims and other religions need to know this.

2. Some people on this thread need to understand that a gun is not the only weapon of attack. If a man comes at you with a cudgel, a cutlass, a dagger or even a sword with the intent to cause you grievous bodily harm and you have a gun in your own hands, you will 9 out of 10 times shoot first and ask questions later.

Rest in peace to the dead. Hopefully, the truth will eventually be revealed.

Technocrat1759:
Come 2019 we can support anything apart from PDP.

I would rather vote KOWA or APGA than vote PDP if the APC should fail eventually. Beg PDP my ars*

Afrok:
huh!

Just move on bro. Left to that dude we will see Agu grow up, get married and become President.

Afrok:
I love that movie; "breasts of no nation" very interesting .

Breast bawo? Purify thy mind brethren. Lol.

Agu!!! Very interesting movie. The opening was quite engaging with the kids and their "imagination TV"

chukkiephil:

So, in your village 18-23 year olds are boys? Some of their mates are in university, some married. If they are not men, what should they be?

[size=28pt]Breaking News: Martial the new Thierry Henry isn't on the field... Reports reaching me...He is in the toilet taking a dunk...


Last week; Chelsea lost to the same team last week...Man U fans be like Chelsea is a disgrace... Can't win against a newly promoted & relegation battling side...


Today; Man U fans be like: We lost because Fellaini was subbed out...Others say [s]Martial the new Thierry Henry didn't play[/s] sorry Rooney was injured... Some say Louis Van Gaal Out!!


Please note. Bournemouth is currently on 14th position...Above Defending Champions...Chelsea... [/size]

It's very juvenile of you to be making fun of a teenager every week. How good was Thierry Henry at his age? As I remember he was being benched by Victor Ikpeba and Jurgen Klinsmann. Martial will have his day in time.

Another philosophical defeat. Well done LVG.

Emmagenius:
INCREDIBLE?. My friend,that means UNBELIEVEABLE.stop using words you don't know the meaning

Calm down, English major. To the sane mind and in a sane society, everything we have read and heard about this "Armsgate" actually comes across as being unbelievable.

Semper247:
Just shut up and get sense. What'sthe change about if all these mammoth corruption cases are overlooked? Have u imagined what a billion Naira investment would have done in ur life? If u are tired of this admimistration, Ghana is not far, u can relocate.......nonsense!

HABA BROS! Ghana is far o! When Benin Republic and Cameroon are just next door.

DASUKI AGAIN!!! Chai!

Pavore9:
Sambo Dasuki was indeed the ATM!

ATM? The dude was the real Central Bank governor.

Chigold101:
I don't want to go into an argument that makes no sense.
Southerners especially Ndigbo did many things after the civil war just to find their footings. Nigerian government under general Gowon did not recruit any Igbo into the army for a long time. Ndigbo went into trading because they have to make a living after what the federal government did. If you remember, you will know that then Ndigbo do not go to school because there was no money to send one to school.
Today that has changed. If joinning the military is like joining any other thing ndi igbo would have taken over the military. But it is not.
Look at what happened to customs recently. Make you research and you will see how many feom the north that was promoted and none from the east...

Guy, even I am not ready for argument. Gowon was kicked out in 1975, just about 6 years after the civil war ended. Since then we have had several governments, both military and civilian. Have we not had Ndigbo officers in the top echelon of the military? Generals, Vice Admirals, Chief of Naval Staff, Chief of Air Staff, etc that could have influenced recruitments to favour their kinsmen? If majority of Ndigbo wanted to join the army they would have done so, but they chose a different option. This may be because the average Igbo man is largely independent and may not be interested in joining a force where he will be saying "yes sir, yes sir" to someone. Owning their own business and being their own boss appeals more to them. Even you cannot deny that fact. We practically left the military for the Northerners.

ubecharles:
Misleading writeup by fake mutum. Kano and Lagos state with their population of over 10million each don't have up to 5000 federal civil servants? When it comes to census they apportion bogus numbers to them.

Er, bro your logic is kinda skewed. To start with many people who are not from Lagos by origin still get counted as part of its population as long as they are in Lagos when the census was held and didn't travel back home to be counted in their state of origin. Secondly, the private sector employs more people in Lagos than the public sector (federal and state), unlike some states that are seen to be "civil service states". Lastly, most Lagos indigenes are more likely to be working with the Lagos State government than even the federal government.

Chigold101:
most times we tend to write without looking to the reasons.
It was aftermath of the civil war that made southerners especially Igbos to be less in the military. It was not written in any book, but because from Gowon to Abdulsalami the north control the military and they recruit more of their own also it is easier for a northner to gain admission into NDA than those from the south.
If you graduate at the same time with northern same day. Soon he will be rapidly promoted while you will still be where you were.
It is hard to survive in the force as a Southerner than a Northerner

Stop for a moment with the propaganda and be honest with yourself. Most southern parents are more interested in seeing their kids become Doctors, Engineers, Lawyers, Accountants and what not than having them join the military. We are more interested in seeing our kids get a University education than going into the Army. I have also worked in a military barracks before some 12 years ago and had dealings with officers and soldiers alike. You even tend to have more Southerners in the officers corp than you have among the soldiers. We simply gave control of the military to them by our actions and inactions.

obstead200:
please dont be so biased.
all over nigeria u will find hundreds of thousands of people[b] willing to join the military today today[/b] if u ask them to.
what the person u quoted said is very true. Go to the parastatals and paramilatary and u will find an ocean of northerners. some parastatals are fully occupied and controlled by them.

Yes "today today" because of increasing rates of unemployment. But was that the case say 10, 15, 20 years ago?
