Properties / Re: DIY Construction Of My House In PH. by erico2k2(m): 10:38am
Inception:


Bros, was inflation factored in in this costing?

Both in exchange rate and rising cost of materials & Labour
No, it was pay as you go, so the cost reflects prices of stuff and labour paid and bought at the times inclusive of recent variations.

What's Ghana doing here? undecided

About 5 pack of 80gram indomie noodles in Ghana is 55 Ghana Cedis, that's above $4.

While $4 in Nigeria can get you over 10 pack of same 80gram indomie noodles.
People seem to 4get Ghana rounded up their figures in thier currency, three zeros where removed, so 13 CD is actually 13000 CDs

Properties / Re: Would You Buy This Bicycle For N10 Million ? (photo Attached) by erico2k2(m): 1:16pm On May 11
elasticlala:
So, I decided to take a walk today to see if I could find a bicycle to help me exercise, as it seems I've started gaining some weight. I came across this bicycle with a price tag of $6,999, which is over ₦10m with the current exchange rate. Just wondering, would anyone buy such a bicycle for over ₦10m if it were in Nigeria (photo attached) ... would you?
Those who know it's true worth will buy, its one of them carbon fibre bike.

Palestine is predominantly Muslim. Israel is predomantly Jewish.
Did you read what I wrote, I said there are more xtians in Palestine than in Israel

Funny you. Would you mind a bet . By the end of this year, there would be no Palestine nation.
I think you mean no Gaza. The occupied part of Palestine is a small fraction to the sea, not all of Palestine are occupied, you guys do not seem to know this.

Palestinians are generally Muslim. A Muslim supporting Palestine because of religion may be wrong, but he is not deluded about them being Muslim. Most Nigerian Christians are deluded that Israel is Christian.
Both sides have Muslim and xtians, besides Palestine has more xtians than Israel do!

You are not seeing the other side of it. If you are, you will not be too comfortable with a Palestinian state.
Tell me something I don't know then, what's wrong in having that state?
Foreign Affairs / Re: UN General Assembly Backs Palestinian Bid For Full Membership by erico2k2(m): 11:37am On May 11
tctrills:

How does that affect Israel. Still, Palestinians are all over the world. There are already millions of Palestinians living outside the region.
I never said it will affect them I just said it will give the Palestinians an Identity, which they do not have right now

Israel is not in the mud. Declaring a Palestinian state does not solve the problem. It does not end the war in Gaza or the land dispute in the west bank.
The only thing that can come out of this is more terrorism and the lives of the Palestinians becoming worse and Israel having more reasons to go to war.
It will to some xtent, it now means they can have a passport and apply for visa to go anywhere they want

What you have as charges to your water bill, some of us have a fixed water meter which got read monthly or quarterly, you on the other hand have estimated billing.!

That is totally wrong. I pay water tax which has been calculated from April to December. It's doesn't have to do with whether I use water or not. It has been sent to me just like council tax so I know what am saying my dear
I repeat nothing like water tax in the whole of the UK.

Same UK. U pay water bill. Either U use water or not just like council tax either U have a bin or not.
there is nothing like water tax in the Uk, just water bills and you have a metre for that. If you do not use water, you do not pay because you have a meter and its outside on a walkway a small manhole! This is why its a bill and not TAX
Now council tax in the Uk is a whole different ball game,In Northern Ireland which is part of the Uk they DO NOT PAY COUNCIL TAX
Also, if you do not rent a whole apartment, you do not pay council tax, People in full time Education DO NOT pay council tax,peopla under 18 do not pay council tax, Members of the armed forces who are i n the armed forces do not pay tax. You guys assume too much

No vex bros what country do you pay Water tax?

Great, there goes our Answer.I have already pasted links to the whole law governing tenants and Landlord in Nigeria up there, its quite a long read but it clears all the misconceptions we all have as Nigerians!

Tecnophone:
yes, that's what the federal tenancy law said. They have their own capable sans, lawyers working for government.
You are assuming cos there is nowhere in law that was stated, we all have internet, I challenge you to quote the part of the law that stipulate that a tenant can stay 6months rent free after expiration of his rent deposits! Show us.

litaninja:
You are incorrect sir.
You can be served a 6-month notice the day after you move in and the rest of your rent prorated and refunded.

very correct.

yes, they won't ask for a dime. I've been using them to deal with the unscrupulous landlords.
Im not saying the institution will charge you, I am saying so this guy will live in the house for 6months free right?

Go to public complaint commission office in your state, they will surely secure additional 6 months for you without paying a dime. Your best bet.
for free right?

kingphilip:

Whether there is an agreement in place or not, as long as his rent has expired and he has overstayed for three months, he can only give 7 days notice to recover property and after that begin a court case to both retrieve his rent and recover all the accrued rent the tenant is owing.
I repeat, if the rentis paid yearly.The Landlord must give notice for up to 6 months for tenant to leave.,once this xpires the tenant now has 7 days. However most persons don't live, the negotiate with landlords for xtra 3 months, there is nothing in the law that states that you should have xtra three months, its up to you and landlord to have a gentleman's agreement and you must pay this three months up front!
Politics / Re: Donald Duke And Ben Murray Bruce Visit The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road (Pictures) by erico2k2(m): 5:00pm On May 07
DeLaRue:
Interesting.

One thing about this President is that he is BOLD

He goes where no previous leader dared to go.

1. Fuel Subsidy - removed. GEJ folded at the first sign of protest at Ojota.

2. FCT minister - gave it a Southerner

3. Student loan scheme - in the works

4. Coastal road - ongoing

And so on..

But this horrible 0.5 or 0.005% tax on bank transfer his government wants to introduce is too much. We are hearing too of Telecom tax. There's the dreaded Band A electricity palaver on ground.

Excessive taxes are suffocating the people and the economy.


everyone doing roads since 1980 gbongolo, I would have loved him t channel this energy and funds to building more power station since we have gas to power them.Therby making us power stable for industrialization to kick in.make others continue with roads. True true, E 4 burst our head!

Small time they will say landlords should take monthly rents like they do in UK, US and other oyinbo countries. Unfortunately, they don't know that in most cases you start with a security deposit (usually one month's rent), which means you are paying 2 months rent in your first month of stay. Then, your subsequent rent is due on the 1st of the month with a grace period of 3 days. Once you don't pay after 4th, you start incurring penalties. If you don't pay by the 15th, you are already looking at eviction. Meanwhile, by the time the landlord sends you out at the end of the month, they are not really out of pocket because they technically have the month's rent.
We are very close there cos as it is, man on the street cannot pay N2million for a 2bed flat easy.so the average city rent in Nigeria is N120k per month so you need to earn at least n300k plus.

Hi I have a friend of mine who stays in Lagos, he has a problem and has been unable to pay his rent for almost a year, the rent has expired since July and now his landlord is telling him to pay by next week or pack out of the house. He's arguing that the landlord is mandated by law to serve him a 6 months quit notice before he can leave but I'm telling him to find his way out of there as soon as he can since his rent has expired.
Is he right with what he's saying or should he instead take my advice ?
yes he is right, the landlord should have served him a 6 months notice whether he is owing or not. But there is a different side to this, if the tenant has no legal written contract then the tenant has no ground to stand, The tenant can only demand for 6 months notice if he has a written agreement that's states so!

AlphaNugget:

You will need to reply to him via another lawyer, stating that you want an extra 3 months after the expiration of your rent.

If you stay in Owerri I can assist you, if not, then kindly contact any lawyer near you
ou are absolutely right, however you will still need to pay for the three months, Im sure you are thinking it would be free but by the end of the tenancy since OP now has 6 months notice, he only needs 7 days to vacate the property!this is due t how long it take to pass judgement, ask that your Owerri lawyer!

If your rent is not valid, then you are not a tenant. There is no law that is designed to prevent someone payment for the goods and services they rendered (or are rendering). I[b]t is not suya that you will ask for jara or taste small before you bu[/b]y.

My honest advice to you is to you is to vacate his property in peace for him. No need to drag anything with him or try to prove your papa or mama na SAN. Try and get a place on or before the expiration date.

Talking from experience, my tenants wanted to play smart on me, they will never finish saying what they face afterwards. Some landlords are not smiling when it comes to someone wanting to drag their property.

Be a good tenant and God will also make you a landlord too, choose the path of Peace instead.
I like the bolded!
