An official of the Federal Capital Development Authority(FCDA) escaped death by Whiskers on Thursday after a group of traders physically assaulted him.

The official simply known as 'Mr Dennis' was seriously injured on his head during the attack. The traders from Utako market attacked Dennis over an allegation of conniving with court officials to adjourn their case indefinitely.

They chased Dennis into the Legal unit of the court and would have killed him if not for the timely intervention of a police officer in the court premises.

PoliticsNGR learnt that the case between the Abuja Municipal Council Area, AMAC and Utako Market Traders Association was scheduled for a hearing today but things went downhill when an announcement came that the case could no longer be brought up because the Presiding Judge was absent.

The traders became incensed and started chanting songs and insulting the court officials. On sighting one of the FCDA officials(Dennis) heading to the Legal Unit of the court, they attacked him.

Utako market traders and the FCDA have been at each other's necks over plans by AMAC to demolish and revoke shopping licenses.

Even in hard times, evil people still take advantage of people.

ofcos, this was how loads of people get rich, in war there is always that one person who stands to gain

good but bad timing, this should have been done by end of jan nxt year or Nov this year

joinnow:
Tell him you are moving out by Jan ending as a result of your job relocation and you don't mind paying the one month rent b4 packing out.

Hope you did deposit caution fee.(caution fee refund+ small change will take care of the one month rent).
If not jejely keep his one month rent and pay the day you want to move out.
Unless u want to pack late at night when nobody will see you.

Its good to inform him so they can start looking for new replacement.

Thank you, this was waht I told him in the past,its better to respond to the text and use the oportunity to inform Landlord when he is moving and his willingness to pay any extra theroff!That way everybody is happy.

Our scope of discussn .'landlord and tenant..NIGERIA LAW QUA?

That law is i n the Books and thats where it lays at the moment.

Seankay323:
yes o I would say its a close though but it was part of an estate but demarcated his houses for reason I don't know and got a transformer that then blew and to get anotha one now Na wahala.Naija sha so u pay rent and landlord can decide to not provide a means of having electricity and nothing can be done, free money be dat na, no compensation?

Well when you build house you wire teh house,you then provide metre or poitn,,you buy pole and call PHCN to connect the house to teh grid,of which the transformer is part of.so if transformer blow nah to call PHCN or all teh people using teh said transformer to put money together to buy new one.

Seankay323:
The landlord has 3 houses on the same street and had a transformer that blew , so has put everyone in perpetual darkness. Is it the tenant that will go and procure transformer for the landlord ? Or look to get one from the government ,is my name written on the c of o as a co landlord of the property? If there's no electricity will people move into the house. I know my mistake was to pay rent early. Does it take a whole year to get transformer? Stupid landlord if he did the maths 5 peoples rent is enuf to buy transformer. I know dis becos a company I work with had same issue and a new one was bought o not given to for free after 1 month. So we HV to wait a whole year for government to get 1 transformer now chai...

I keep repeating it again, your Landlord is not the owner of teh Transformer rather PHCN is, even though He bought it, as the system now dictates, he is not the owner, and you cannot refuse to pay rent cos you have no transformer, you would not win that case in court, the only thing to do is move out.however is it just these three houses athat are on your street

AuroraB:
He isn't renewing his rent for obvious reasons. Landlord is making/has made dialogue tough by his theatrics.

Nah the reason he isnt renewing is rent was highlighted in his first post read it, it cos he was transfered or work related, has nothing to do with landlord personal issues and from the write up, the landlord do not live at same address.

mfm04622:
That landlord just leave you. As you too be landlord now, I pray your tenants do same to you

You k now talk is free, make dem wait till dem see landlord wey be trouble maker

Jabioro:
No laws permitted your landlord to throw goods out or lock you out.,he would pay through his/her nose..

I know that no Law permits you to,but there is no law that says he cant as well,Nigerians tend to act b4 going to court if this was not the case tell me why Mr A can go to a police station and get Mr B arrested even though teh police do not have any evidence??you talking about LAW in NIgeria realy

AuroraB:
Why do you feel he needs the 'reminder' duuuuuurh
He didn't go brain dead within the year in focus, or did he? Only a psycho sends messages that much in a day albeit addressing same issue. Funny, he won't be having the pleasure of throwing your things out though
Did you not read op? Renewing the rent wouldn't be a problem if he wishes to

You also failed to see that OP is not wishing to renew his rent though.Why donteh OP negotiate with landlord about the ten xtra days he wishes to stay!

Amya:
I volunteer legal services for the have-nots

That can be said on a faceless forum,any evidence of this online?

TEYA:
I wait for the day any landlord will be stupid enough to throw my things outside, if he does not but a house for me we shall see. Foolish touts calling themselves landlords everywhere.

pray it dont come to that

Jabioro:
Read Lagos state landlord and tenancy act..where it stipulated rentage and validatn..the law does nt favour any landlord when it comes to duration.Mind you l'm once a tenant,that once had and issues of payment with a lawyer landlord who took me to court..we spent a whole year on adjourment b4 hearing and 5 month on trial,l was ask to choosed when to leave..l gave them 4 month..and packed to my present home ..l treat my tenant like my self..l hv gone through it.do nt implore unnecessary fear.

This is true but moreso, some Landlords are thugs, they will just simply throw your stuff out on street and wait for you to go to court!you will then be teh one waiting for the court dates.

Seankay323:
Pls o help me o, my stupid landlord has not provided us with a transformer for 1 year after paying rent o. More than 600k rent o. I HV paid rent for 2 years now and a week after I paid for my last rent our transformer blew and since a year now the landlord has been lackadaisical towards resolving the issue, no light for 1 year now after paying rent o. And someone will say the Nxt year i shld pay rent. Help me o shld I go and sleep at the landlords house for Xmas and new yr?

Your Landlord is not responsible for your supply Of electricity outside his yard, the Government is.Transformer is the responsibility of teh government.I believe this is not only affecting your compound!

AuroraB:
YES
Ask around if you dunno

what are you going to do if your things are on the street? especialy when the landlord has been issuing you reminders.The Landlord is a lawyer so he knows what he is doing, sending same text each week is a calculative plan on his part to satisfy the notice period issued to OP thats why he kept on texting.That alone is proof of reminder,Remember Im talking about Op's case.If the due date reaches and OP stuff gets on the street, the worse he can do is go to court which will then turn a civil matter, the landlord had proof of reminders and OP refused to respond to them at the time.So if OP is going to extend his stay by 10 days it would be right for him to notify Landlord ASAP so they can work out 10 days rent and OP should pay that ASAP to avoid stories that touch.

Feranchek:
Bros, how many I wan reply na?? This dude dey send these messages like sey dem dey programmed! I've lived in 2 other places before this cos my job moved me around a lot,and I've never had any issues with my landlord or landlady.

And talking bout throwing my things out, lol. Bros you sef know sey that one no possible so no just mention am to form bad ass

Notice of renewal or moving out For real??!! Never heard of it, so please enlighten me on that with Lagos tenancy law.

Thanks a mil



Yes he's a businessman, but about not being nice to each other. . . . That really doesn't make sense to me.



Lala biko epp your boy move am to promise land na.... Make I see watin dem oga lawyers go talk. No leh dem pursue me comot for house oooo!! E dakun

Ask well, just as your lanlord requires a certain time to give you a quit notice so does a tenant requires a certain time to give quit notice,check the notice time on your contract if you have one and if you do not have one you have no ligal ground to stand as the onus is then on you to prove otherwise!

Amya:
Good for you. You have that power of choice. However, those of us who still believe and want to contribute our quota should be left alone. There are people that become millionaires overnight in Nigeria through hard work same as I suppose everywhere in the world.

What have you contributed to your LGA in 20 years ? ??

kroger:
I once had your submission about Nigeria, not until reality dawned on me. Let me tell u something a country dont just get better by chance, it takes Proper planning, Having a set goal, vision and discipline. For example china did not just from no where become what they are today, it was a step by step project. Right now Nigeria dont even have a vision for the next 50 years, we just live as it comes, no future projection, corruption is the order of the day, when i came back some few months ago It was pathetic. Look at our students abroad bagging first class doing excellently well, living their dream.. U want us to to fix nigeria problem collectively, you will just die before your time.

The system doesn't allow no one to fix anything, life is too short to start fixing a country that lacks vision. No one is saying people living abroad are better, but dont lie to us that we have millionaires on every street.. I wish those who wants to fix the country good luck.

Ask them these questions
Who do you eleviate in Nigeria ? What positive change have you brought in your street ? ?

FreeWorld23:
u still have the right to live for at least 3 Months if your are leaving his house. Forget his threat and bullshitts

for Lagos?

Feranchek:
Nne you don't get it, how do u handle him by Jan cos na till end of Jan I go fit move out.



Chai. Bros you don ves ooo! Lol. Seriously I dig you. I also have a land somewhere in Lagos and I'm planning to build a commercial building there and will want to reap the fruits of my labour.

Like I said earlier, the dude is a BULLY. Almost all the agents in my local government knows him cos he's got properties abound. He may trample on me if I tow the 'ejor sir' lane. I've never been rude to him and I don't intend to be. I plan telling him to give me till end of Jan to pay him buh na waka I wan waka.

with the way you have treatred the issue by ignoring his text guy take my advice, just move out of the house when your rent is due, do not live one day past it.If I was your landlord nah outside you things dey go, sorry but thats the truth.Move out at the end of your rent or Renew, as things stands, you are meant to give him notice of renewal or notice of moving out to make the Landlord arrange a new tenant.

Feranchek:
Hmmm.... my landlord na lawyer and just dey bully other tenants. Now na my turn and when he called me, na vex he take drop phone cos our discussion HOT. I paid towards the end of November last year. Light renovation was to take place in my apartment meaning I'll park in in about 2 weeks. Agent kon kukuma move my rent to Jan 1st. Landlord has been sending me messages to renew my rent and the messages usually come as threats. I just discarded them till he called me last month demanding renewal of my rent. I told him my rent was due by Jan 1st. He argued, threatened to throw me out buh I no send am. Na so he use vex cut. Called his agent and that one told him what was written in my receipt. Now Dec don reash and the idiot dey send me bout 5 threat messages everyday (check the attached pictures) reminding me of my rent. I don't plan to renew cos I wanna relocate due to work. Buh na by J9an ending my money go reash due to the kind of apartment I intend getting


Question: How do I tackle this landlord come Jan

Nairalanders, make una epp me biko.

just reply the text and say you do not wish to renew and give him your date of moving out simple, the landlord is a Biz man not your friend, he does not need to be nice to you niether do you need to be nice to him.

I have been hearing the word Mansion on properties session and I may be able to get an answer.
Please, what is a mansion?

A massive House with large grounds that has a single occupancy of one family.

Giving God little out of the abundance u have gotten is a personal decision... Don't tell a man how to spend his fortune if u didn't contributed a dime

But helping the needy is helping our Lord jesus christ, that goes without saying, cos jesus was doing this all his time on earth.

Organs:
Now we are getting somewhere. Your statement here clearly shows the difference between I and Pidgin2 Vs You and Shebebaby and that follow-follow Erico2K2. The govt of Nigeria is not doing anything right, and people are dying over things that are avaoidable, now I and Pidgin2 are busy trying to make things work and volunteering to do what is right no matter how little to like Michael Jackson will say "Make that Change" and be that Change. You, and Shabebaby will rather abuse, criticize and boast about obodo oyibo and add absolutely no value at all instead you are even criticizing and pointing fingers. That Norway you live, i guarantee you there will be a Nigerian Senator, Minister, etc that most probably have their kids schooling there and they are making laws for us in Nigeria. Hopefully we will stand behind those that will say NO to those Politicians and we will march with them, discourage folks from collecting stipends to vote these fools etc and all these you have no part to play abi, Now the very least you and Shaybebaby can do is to salute the courage that you don'y have and show some respect. BTW you dont have to send me pix, i've not been to Oslo but i know how it is in Germany, London, and Amsterdam. Save your pix, those abroad think naijas dont know whats going on.

The Only way you can make change is to movve out of your Papa house for starters,
stop eating free food and start paying your own Bills, get a Job that pays, Try and get quality education,wait 10 years after you ban get lifted, then come back to nairaland and thank me!

9jakohai:
Time for....

DEREGULATION FOR THE AVERAGE MIND.

1.To answer your question Erico....the landing costs came from IPMAN...the marketers union.(NNPC is denying it...but no smoke sans fire).

2.Here is how deregulation should work....

..Govt stops setting prices, and allows marketers to set their price.

....In theory...Mobil sets price at 150 , Total sets price at N155, Oando sets price at N160, and Papaengo Ventures sets his own at 200.

....Nigerians buy from Mobil in their crowds....whileothers get zero customers.

...Oando, Total,Papaengo cut prices...and people go there.

...Mobil then cuts prices to N130

...Oando, Papaengo and Total followsuit.

...Meanwhile, more investors come in, freed from the price constraints

...And WE use subsidy savings to fix refineries...then privatize them.

Hence my previous posts.

God bless. I love both of you .

As you can see you have NO ANSWER .
The only way we get fuels at 145 is due to heavy subsidy . If there was no subsidy you will buy fuels at $0.50 as import and when U ad VAT and other xpenses it won't be less than N400
Are U aware we import petrol from China now ?

9jakohai:
There is no scam.

Just Nigerians refusal to face reality.

The truth is, most Nigerians don't want to pay high for fuel. They want govt to subsidize fuel...

Which is what PMB is doing. All this 145 naira is partial removal of subsidy. It is the same thing GEJ, and OBJ and Co have done.

Meanwhile, cost of importing fuel is 142 per liter. We import 50million liters of PMS daily, and produce less than 18 million PMS daily at home.

Oil price has fallen, from 120 in 2013 to 64 today, and somehow Nigerians expect govt to find money to knock down fuel to 97naira per liter.

Even when oil was high, we wasted billions subsidize fuel, that we could have used to do things like increase refining capacity at home. (See why GEJ could not build refineries).

Nigerians should stop deceiving themselves and embrace deregulation. Yes, fuel will cost 200 per liter initially. Yes, poor people will suffer. But investors will come, and eventually, due to competition, prices will fall.

Time we stopped deceiving ourselves. Oil subsidy must go. So that we can have money forbetter things.

I like to say you are talking lubish . But thats my opinion . Now tell me from what country can one import and land petrol at N145 . ??
I'm waring for the name of the country that supplies us petrol @145

cloud9usher:
Seriously? I'm amazed considering the OP's submission about the word "presently."

The word "presently" can be used to refer to "happening soon" and "happening now" as well. Do these bloggers have any lexical training of any sort before posting gibberish on grammar?

It's copy and paste era lol

Samstyle:
Hello everyone, today we will discuss some wrong English sentence/phrases that is prevalent among students. Most especially, in Nigeria.

I advise you read painstakingly and study the sentences, as they will help you improve your grammatical structure.

Now, let's get going.


1. BIRDS OF THE SAME FEATHERS.

Note that the proverb " birds of a feather" is never "birds of the same feathers". The correct form of this is;

"Birds of a feather" Not "Birds of the same feathers"


2. POSSIBLE BEST or BEST POSSIBLE

Avoid the use of "BEST POSSIBLE" or "POSSIBLE BEST". Simply say "BEST".

For example, " I will try my best"


3. SO AND THEREFORE

Note that, it is wrong to use "SO" and "THEREFORE" together or "STILL" and "YET" together. You must only use one.

For example:

- I know him, So therefore... (wrong)
- I know him, so... Or I know him, therefore.... (Correct)



4. PRESENTLY AND AT PRESENT

Note that the word " PRESENTLY" means "very soon". It does not mean "AT THE MOMENT". So, if you mean to say 'Now', say "AT PRESENT" or " AT THE MOMENT".

"I will see you presently", means I will "see you very soon"


5. " I was introduced to the Chairman and the Vice Chairman of company"

" I was introduced to the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the company"

I know many many will not be able to tell, which is right or wrong. Nevertheless, since the Chairman is not the same as the Vice Chairman, it is necessary you repeat the definite article (the).

6. "If I were wrong, I'd be the first to admit it."

" If I was wrong, I'd be the first to admit it."

Well, in this case, the first sentence is correct. This is because subjunctive mood requires "WERE", when the conjunction "IF" introduced a supposition.

7. "Nothing shall ever come between you and i,' he told her."

"Nothing shall ever come between you and me,' he told her."

The correct sentence here is, "Nothing shall ever come between you and me,' he told her." Because, the preposition "between", is always followed by the objective form of the pronoun.

8. "Can you imagine him forgetting a date like that?

"Can you imagine his forgetting a date like that?

The correct form here is the second sentence. Be the possessive case ( his) should be used for a pronoun followed by a gerund

9. It is worthy to Note that the response "HOW DO YOU DO" is not a question requiring a further answer by the one introducing himself or herself. However, in greetings, if. Mr A ask, "how do you do" Mr B will respond with "how do you do, too"


10. TO BATH / BATHE

To BATH, means "to wash the whole body" whereas "BATHE" means "to wash a path of the body, especially one which is in pain.

E.g " The doctor ordered that he BATHE his sprained fingers in tepid water"
