Hello my good people of nairaland,
I want to get approval for my building permit approval in Lagos and I was told I need tax clearance but I don’t have it. Please any alternative in getting the approval without tax clearance.

Are you a salary earner?

EgunMogaji2:
Good to know.

Old boy let’s do some business.

No probs

EgunMogaji2:
Yeah, I've never shipped small goods into Nigeria before so I don't know. I just assumed that it will be expensive and riddled with red tapes.

nah bross, as we speak,it cost £50 to ship a ghana must go bag to 9ja, 6 weeks on the sea, delivered free to any address in Lagos.

davodyguy:
These your prices are way way too high.

One of the reasons I don't buy most things in Nigeria and go for shopping in China, Turkey, UK is because the exorbitant prices retailers call in products.

I have these tapes, as a chartered Estate Surveyor and not (not 'agent' but RICS and ASA certified) and importing from AliExpress plus shipping to my Lagos address were 50% cheaper than what you quoted.

If cost of acquisition is ₦7500 and shipping ₦2,500=₦10,000. Selling the 40m tape at between ₦12,500 and ₦15,000 would not be bad in my opinion.

No one is saying people should not make profit, but please consider the economic challenges in Nigeria and have mercy. Biko

That's my 80m range Laser Tape.
This is UK and not China version.

If I tell you how much I bought, you think I stole it

That's the story of Nigerians with greed ohh, instead of researching of how to make a product cheaper, they tend to think of making it more costly.

Abolarin91:
Seriously! I lost a contract due to insufficient fund to execute the deal, and the client insint I bring the materials to IMO state before he could pay me! Imagine taking materials from Lagos to IMO state without giving me any advance. This is the harm bad eggs has caused the good one

I feel your pain, you see, when people(bad Eggs) do the deeds, they do not think of 2morrow.

alstacs:
This was thing that I just could not understand; people asking to be paid to give your quotation for them to bid in a work you wish to give out. I got a welder to come assess and give me quotation for burglary proof. The eeeeeeediota told me how much he will charge per window for the quotation. I simply told him not to bother.
A painter did same to me.
One roof company did that to me in Abuja

Well I would class those as people who are not the real workmen and are middlemen, this is their own chop, so if this money do not drop they are more than happy to lose the contract as they will not earn anything.I believe the genuine guys on here will not derve so low. We see the pros on here dishing out advice and explanation day in day out here for free not even having any sight of a contract in view but they do it anyway, so tell me why I should question them when a job is going to be done and they give me their quote ehh , These group of guys on here have built houses for people they have never met and still ain't met till date with no issues. Bro let the money for estimate crew continue

Jesus is Lord!

I am in fact convinced that these men are indeed the anti-Christs that Jesus Christ spoke of, as it seems their major agenda is to make blacken the image of God every chance they get.

they follow the Money

GamalNasser:
The moment your mum decided to start visiting spiritualist and planning to draw mark on his kids shows the kids are better off without her in their lives

I'm telling you, the kids are in danger. Good one from the man!

Swissheart:
Firstly, if you kill a man, you'll go to jail and render the kids fatherless so take it easy.

Secondly, your mom wanted to give the twins mark on their faces, their father wasn't pleased with it and he came to pick his kids from your mom. That is also not a problem because he is their father, he has the right to. You mentioned it yourself that he has the finance to take care of them too.

The only issue here is that the man wants to cut all ties with your family, that is what you all have to address. Fighting him, insulting him wont work. You guys should remember he has lost his wife too and he hasn't even gotten over it. Why prepare for battle with a grieving man?

Your mom should talk to him with all sincerity and love. The love you guys have for your late sister should be the basis for whatever you are doing for her kids and to her husband otherwise that man will take those children away from you people for life.

If it was you and someone wants to use blades on ur kids won't you run far away with the kids?2020 people still believe is such backwardness!

bestmutiu2019:
please don't mind my bad English,please I need you to help me or advice me on what to do before I kill someone.
My name is ade second to last born in a family of 5,my mum first and second born were male follow by a girl then me and my jnr bro that is ma mum last born
The only girl of my family that is my sister married a guy this guy is so rude and mannerless I don't know maybe it was because of the little money he has,fast forward they had their first born a boy,then two years later my sister gave birth to twins she deliver the first one by herself then CS for the second one,as Almighty Allah pleases my sister died the 3rd day she gave birth to her twins that is November 2017.
Although my late sister husband lost both his parents so those little girls are with my mum she has been taking care of them since then,so one issue arise when one prophet told my mum that they should do this 1,1. tribal marks for those little girls to prevent their late mother from disturbing them in which my late sister husband decline,he came back the 3rd day September 29 2019 that he has come to claim these little girls that he has already paid for their boarding school that they are going to boarding school,twins that is not up to 2 years, meanwhile their first born is not staying with him a boy of 4 years old he says that he should go and be staying with one of his street uncle.
We accept these little twins started their boarding school in the neighboring state, like two months after then when mum go and visit the twins at the boarding school,they says my mum did not have any right to visit these twins because of the instructions their father gave them,my mum cried like say tomorrow no dey.

Meanwhile the first born that is staying with his street uncle he also order that man not to let any of us to see him.
PLEASE I NEED YOUR ADVICE ON WHAT TO DO,I TOLD MY SENIOR BROTHER TO TAKE ACTION THEY COME UP WITH NOTHING,PLEASE I NEED YOUR ADVICE,COS I CAN KILL THIS MAN

Please for legal reasons, he is the parent here, extended family has no right to the kids unless they are at risk, he has the right to restrict access to the kids,I 4 sure see what you just wrote as marking the KIDS will take such actions and in fact arrest anyone who comes close to them, kids. Putting any kind of marks on kids in this modern era in the pretence it is going to scare away some spirits is in same line as genital mutilation.since the kids are not old enough to make decisions for themselves as to if they want marks or not, that duty falls on the responsible adult closest to them as family and in this case is the |Father.

Kaybaba5:
Wat abt connecting fan directly to d battery.

Never ever so that.tou ain't wiser than the folks who done it that way.

Kaybaba5:
I bot a naija used 2001 camry, over 3 months have been driving it. I notice that if I accelerate pas 40mph it will be vibrating secondly the fuel consumption is high. I took to mechanic they told me I will need wheel alignment.
I now asked the mechanic about my thermostat whether they have removed it he said yes. That the fan is connected directly to the battery. And the radiator is double cell. Am thinking to install thermostat so that to control the fan. Any implications?

it's called the death wobble.yoyr car has a dead bearing or stabilizer linkage in a short form you need to overhaul ur suspension.

IdowuRufai:
Yeah, that’s when the real economic benefit will begin to materialize. All the same, it’s a step in the right direction. Opportunities abound.

what Economic activity? it would have ben way better it was connected to Onitsha or lagos, then we are talking

seanfer:
You will still drive 20 minutes without marching on breaks coming from Bayelsa into Delta.

b4 u get to warri rd is bad, B4 the fly over rd is terrible
after the fly over unto sapele rd rd is apology,by choba east west rd is cut into two, u want me to go on n on, the whole of Bayelsa is off the page!

seanfer:
From Kaiama in Bayelsa till you get to a town before Ughelli.

nah u must machhh break

seanfer:
That’s the most silent section of the East west road. But don’t speed pass 120km because of those herdsmen and their cows oooo.

Now I see where you got it mixed up, That's not the east-west road, That's the Benin Lagos express road. The East-West Road begins in Sapele and Ends just B4 Aba.

seanfer:
Yes you can.

which part cos i drove on that road 6 times few months ago

seanfer:
Sir there are some sections of East-west road that’s smooth and you can drive 40-50 Klms smoothly. Except the men in uniforms.

The East west rd? , well you can drive for 20mins without depressing ur brake pedals?

seanfer:
At the bolded you're right..... But I can't drive on the highway without using Cruise control and Over drive.

you do realise al roads in Nigeria by definition are off roads

TechLector:

One of your favorite thread back then.

rotecch77:
The issue is that here in Nigeria we do mixed things up and average Nigerian believed we are smart.
This is it if you contacted a Qus to prepared BOQ for you he or she have every write to demand for payment bcs that is profession in build industry.

But if a contract ask for payment for quotation it’s not proper,
but those that ask for such have reasons bcs some clients knows that they will go for DIY System which is allow but they just want to get those quotes to use as yard stick for bargain power with labour / mkt price of materials.
So when you know this is Reason why you needed the quotation why can’t you pay.
Consider the person needs to spent time, money before he can get the quotation ready.why can’t we just give token the person.
it’s because we believed that we are smart here in Nigeria which is a very bad attitude, we all needs to amends the way we do things so that things we goes well with us.

I agree, and this is a fact, this happens in everyday life, this is the reason you go into up to 10 shops to buy red jeans in forestry rd benin back in the days lol.No for the first bit a Qus preparing a BQQ is way different cos he is not only going to use his time, but he is also going to prepare a full document which might even involve more people. But if I am giving you an E-copy of my roof plan and you are telling me to pay you B4 you will give me a quotation then we got a problem!.even labour is done this way, I'm sure at the site you bargain too.In my line of trade, if I give a person heads up on what they need to do DIY and it comes to pass, I'm quite happy cos it bears no cost to me. If we check I am a beneficiary of this concept, I have asked for cost around PH to use as a bargaining margin to my build but as you must know, this did not reduce the volume of jobs the advice-givers had within the involved periods as we speak, In all, if the quotation is going to cost you money then fine by all means charge, if not just give it with the hope your good and honest work wins you the contract.

Abbyrose:
ericko2k2
Just re-read what, you just wrote and re-evaluate the context. If I have a project that I want to contract out and ask for a quotation from 10 people. am I going to pay a token to all 10 of them?ALl established contractors have throughout the years developped a standard mechanism to evaluate cost at almost no cost.

@Muyiwaolu
I tire for our people oh. Can you imagine someone asking me to pay him first before I even consider giving him business. It is only in Nigeria that contractor's think they are doing you a favour by giving you BoQ or quotation. I remember the last time I went to USA, we went to a store called Costco, they were giving us free samples of different foods to taste just to entice customers to buy their products.And truly, we bought two products after eating the "tasty sample".
Now tell me, you are claiming that I need to pay you to promote your work. Do customers pay for advertisements? It is a different thing if you now add the cost of giving quotations to your labour after you must have gotten the contract. Please, our people need to change their approach to doing business. If you provide excellent service to your customer, they will pay your labour and even some extra as gratuity.

This is how you know the fraud from the real ones. we have them everywhere even on here if you hear some of the names we have been reminiscing since last night, about sinking houses and fallen fences, the guys involve where people who are not Engineers but pretend to be then when the job became way too technical they could not deliver and the rest was history.
