Interesting story, Crossroad1.

Let's read more comments from married men

Crossroad1, that was a really close shave with a desperado.

Imagine someone saying she was going to come back the next day and start on a clean slate threatening to scream rapè because you asked for a refund for unrendered services. She was clearly trying to be smarter by half.

In all, it's risky bringing unknown escorts to your place of abode. These people have no scruples and can easily arrange for you to be robbed or kidnapped.

If you must have intimate relations, please, apply a rigorous getting process. Remember, "na armed robber be ashawo husband".

Congrats on the escape though. God gave you another chance

Good morning. It's a good day to start your stress-free profitable side hustle

I admire your copywriting skill. Kudos!

I don't interfere in other people's fights. Such interferences have a way of harming the peacemaker.

The best I can do is beg them not to fight from afar, and if their activity is coming too close my location I move away to give them room to express their dissatisfaction with each other.

I'm not a UFC ref.

Finding a house to rent in Lagos is probably more treacherous than going on a mission to appease the gods and evil forest.
We have heard the most heartbreaking stories from would-be renters. Some have had their money's absconded with by unscrupulous housing agents through dubious schemes. Some have rented houses with no functional utilities, which they only found out about after renting. Yet, many more have been in the market for months searching with no success in finding a house.

If you have heard or read these horror stories from house hunters about their terrible experiences in house hunting in Lagos, and have always wondered how to uccessfully house hun in the Center of Excellence, read the following unbreakable steps, which will serve as a guide on your house hunting journey.


1. Know What You Want:
A duplex? A bungalow? How many rooms?
These and so many questions are vital in keeping your search focused. In my experience as an agent, a lot of house hunters have no specific type of house they want, and this eventually leads to wild goose chases and frustration on both the part of the renter and the agent. You can increase your chances of success, and save yourself some time, energy and resources, and those of your agent as well, by knowing exactly what you want and sticking to it.

2. Know Where You Want It:
In addition to point 1 above, having a particular location in mind is another unbreakable step. Having an area in mind streamlines your search and guides you on which agents to work with. You may go to any area of your choosing and ask residents in that location about a trusted housing agent, and many people will be willing and happy to help you out. Alternatively, you can simply google estate agents in that location and take a pick from the results Google presents.

3. Ascertain The Average Cost:
You may be wondering how to do this, but all you have to do is visit property listing websites like Jiji, or Nigeria Property Centre. On thee sites, a lot of the kind of house you are looking for will be listed. By looking around these websites, you should be able to confidently determine if you can afford the house in that locality if you have to look in another neighborhood.

4. Size Up Offerings:
Closely related to Point 3. As you're looking at prices you should also look at the quality of the houses listed, and how much they cost. Two houses side by side, on the same street could have a gulf in cost of rent based on nothing other than quality.
Such things to consider are:
i. UTILITIES: Is there any provision for running water, or will you have to see to that yourself? Are the bedrooms ensuite, or does the whole house share only one bathroom and toilet? Is there a general generator or are you supposed to come with yours? Are the rooms tiled? Are there already cabinets in the kitchen or do you have to have a have to contract a carpenter to make them? Does your compound have cleaners? Etc
ii. SECURITY: In addition to neighborhood security arrangements, does the house you look into rent have a security/gateman or not?

5. Make Contact:
If you have gone online to search for a house and found any to your liking, you should then contact the listing agent (their contact details are usually posted along with the houses).
You can then ask any further questions, and confirm that the house you are interested in is still available. If that particular one is longer on the market, you can ask if the agent has others, and be sure to request pictures of any unlisted but available houses. If you are satisfied with the pictures shown, fix an appointment for an inspection.

6. Go On Tour/Inspection:
This may be one of the most difficult aspects of house hunting because a lot of agents take advantage of house hunters by repeatedly charging them inspection fees (which are usually between ₦3, 000 and ₦10, 000).
If, however, if you have gone through steps 1-5, this should be a formality and more of a confirmation exercise that your desired house is indeed available in the condition the pictures depict.
With regard to the inspection fee, you can avoid paying it if you rent the house immediately after inspection. This way, your only expenses are the cost of the rent, and any transport costs you may have incurred going on the inspection. If you decide not to pay for the apartment, then you may have to pay the inspection fee.

7. Meet The Landlord/Caretaker
If you decide you like the house and wish to pay, then meeting the landlord or caretaker should be your next step.
I strongly advise against paying any money to the agent as it may end in tears. The caretaker, could be a Facility Manager or lawyer or an informal representative of the landlord, and is authorized by the landlord to receive payments and issue receipts bearing your name, the amount paid, and the duration of your rent.

8. Pay And Take Possession Immediately:
Well, no time to waste. If you like the house and wish to move in, it will be wise to make the payment as soon as possible. Chances are, you aren't the only house on town the market, our landlords only loyal to money. There are instances of landlords returning money to would be renters who refused to take possession immediately they paid because someone was willing to pay a higher rent and even higher legal and agency fees.
You should demand the keys for the house as soon as you have made payments. If possible, change the locks immediately or install a new padlock. If the landlord returns your money there's nothing you can do, but start the house-hunting process afresh.

9. Move In:
Well, after going through steps one to eight above the next logical thing is for you to move in and begin to enjoy your new house. You should even launch a bottle of wine to celebrate your success.



You might want to go through this list again to make sure you haven't missed anything or you can just bookmark this thread and refer to it when next you're looking for a house or share with a friends and family.

I guarantee that by following these steps religiously, you cannot go wrong when it comes to house hunting in Lagos.

Good luck.

Yes bro

Nearly to all marriage is this 21st century is short term.

How can you know a woman with good charactet withoit testing them? I will always go for the pretty's dolly -

There are metrics to measure and determine who a suitable mate is

Choosing beauty over character is the reason why many women have chosen to improve their aesthetics rather than their character. The market tends to be filled with what's in high demand.

Secondly, beauty fades and as times goes by, you become immune to her looks. At that point, you're likely left with a wife with a shítty personality. Before you know it divorce and separation have entered the conversation.

A good personality/character is more attractive in the long run. Beauty is ephemeral and as the years go by, you get more tightly bonded with the soul of your partner than with her pretty face. Believe me, no matter how pretty she is, you'll feel hatred for her when she disrespects you- maybe even call you a 42 seconds man

Choosing beauty = short term thinking
Choosing character = long term thinking

Good morning Lalasticlala, this is a very informative thread that will be of benefit to nairalanders. Would be nice if you pushed it to frontpage. Thanks

Every single individual in the world is directly involved in real estate, whether they know it or not, so if you keep hearing, real estate, but don't know what it really is, keep reading.

When we talk about real estate what we basically mean is land. Land is the most basic form of real estate, without which there can be no real estate. In totality, Real Estate refers to land and every improvement or modification made on the land, such as buildings, structures, fixtures, utility systems roads, rivers, lakes, even resources found under the ground, and also the air and the sky above the ground.

Humans have different real estate needs and we use them in different ways, below other types of real estate and how they are used.

1. Land: Refers to the surface of the earth, it goes downward into the ground and upwards into the sky. Land is the most basic form of real estate land includes trees, water bodies natural mineral resources.

2. Residential Real Estate: This is the most common form of real estate because everybody needs a place to live. This takes different forms such as duplexes, bungalows, face-me-I-face-you, even people that live under the bridge are involved in residential real estate.
In Nigeria, many people own their own homes but the vast majority of people live in rented apartments and houses. Most residential real estate is occupied on the basis of rent. However, more and more Nigerians are either buying or making plans to buy their own homes.

3. Commercial Real Estate: This category refers to land and buildings used for busines purposes and activities. Examples are office buildings, hospitals, local markets, shopping malls, hotels, etc. In Nigeria, commercial real estate tends to be more expensive than residential because they are in higher demand and the competition to get the best commercial real estate property is quite high.
Most businesses want to be located in central locations with access to massive human traffic which is considered beneficial to business growth.

4. Industrial Real Estate: Closely related to commercial properties, Industrial Real Estate refers to properties used for manufacturing, factories, warehousing, storage, research, as well as goods distribution. In Nigeria, industrial properties can be quite expensive, however, in recent years, various tiers of government have subsidized the cost of industrial properties with the purpose of encouraging industrial activity in the bid to boost the GDP of the Nigerian economy.

5. Mixed Use Real Estate: Refers to property useful activities that cut across more than one real estate category. Some properties have an office building, factory and staff residential quarters on it. As a result, they cannot be boxed into one narrow category from the information above it is quite apparent that real estate is relatable, yet broad. Every single day, real estate transactions and interactions are ongoing as they fulfill fundamental human needs to just show the business places, amongst others.




Real estate encompasses every human activity. It is the basis on which every other human endeavour is executed.

Bundaweber:
Bro you are very wise. My friends and I were discussing this. It could be a ploy to revitalise thief economy. War is usually one of the quickest ways to awaken an economy as the Germans showed

Boss, when you understand human nature a lot of things are easy to decode . After seeing this his new comments I immediately put 2 and 2 together.

The Deep State and MIC obviously don't have any plans of ending 'forever war' anytime soon.

Difrent:
Yall keep blaming Joe for an agreement Trump signed and began implementing.....if Trump had won US would still have pulled out by August 30th as per the deal

Lol. Bros, it is not a matter of policy but execution. How can you evacuate a base with weapons and ammunition in a place like Afghanistan? How can you the bulk of military personal out and leave vulnerable US civilians and service members in such a place like Afghanistan.

You may be a Biden fan but let's be honest, he bungled this evacuation process.

dvkot:
10000% true.. And i have witnessed it, my brother rented house DIRECTLY from the landlord and baba still collect agent and agreement fee. I weak for those criminal agent and i wonder why the governor is not looking into this rot in the housing sector.
What is the money for form used for?
Still you will be the one to pay for their transportation
And they will still collect 50,80 or N100k
For what nah? Which work did they do?

Searching for vacant apartments is serious work bro.

Hmm Military Industrial Complex done carry everybody handicap again. Joe Biden's manner of exit in Afghanistan could probably have been a trap to embolden attacks on US lives which would provide justification for even more war.

Let's watch and see how it unfolds though
