Tequilah:
I think some respondents have given you an idea on the safest, well-structured estates to look at. i have lived on the island for over 22 years and I think the following estates appear to be well laid-out and safe.

Carlton Gate Estate off Chevron Drive, Lekki (lots of greenery, secured entry, stable power, well-laid out plots etc);

Pinnock Estate, Lekki (well-structured and secure);

Parkview Estate, Ikoyi (secure, but you would have to make your own arrangements for power generation etc);

There are also various high-rise buildings in Ikoyi, Victoria Island and Lekki, whose owners are selling off the individual flats within the blocks. Security and power have been fully provided. You will see some of these in 1004 Estates in Victoria Island, as well as Safecourt Estate in Ikate, Lekki, very close to Spar Shopping Mall. Graces' Court in Parkview Estate, Ikoyi as well as Adejoke's Court in Ikoyi were built by Gibraltar Construction. These are fine examples of great structures that have all the conveniences you can think of.

You could also look at Lekki Horizon Estate, owned by Lekki Gardens at the 4th Roundabout in Lekki. Richmond Gate Estate has a better layout and great security. It is also in the same axis and is worth a look. Hope this info helps. Good luck.

What's the price range for Richmond gate estate, thanks

goodgate:
It's Poorly planned,it's just a cluster of houses.

I want a place around that axis, not over priced, 'cos I'm gonna use mortgage and I work, which do you suggest, do u have any idea?, that one beside it, Carlton gate or so, is so expensive. Thanks

Bookmarked.

Pls for those saying Chevy view is not good, what are your reasons. Me thinks it's ok considering it's not over priced. Your views please.

I worked there for a few months. The worst months of my life. My bosses were insultive, my colleagues had no joy, we worked weekends only for your boss to thrash all your efforts. Dem no born you well to leave office at 5/6. Sometimes, 10pm and I had no car, staff bus leaves at 8pm (was in Head Office).

To worsen it Aig and Herbert did not believe in work life balance. 2 guys I knew died because of the job. One died on his desk, the other died on his way home from work, when he was supposed to be on leave.

Abeg, it's not worth it. I wasnt a fresh graduate, infact I had worked in a different bank for 4 years before joining Access so all their paparazzi was uncalled for. After a few months, I packed my portmanteau to a place where joy lived.

U r a very funny somborri

And some Eidiots will applaud this 50k Change.
Suffering and smiling Nigerians.

Where is the product kwanu, most stations are locked in Lagos here,

Give us the product @ N87 we don't mind.

The available black mkt is N200 so price reduction doesn't make sense if the product is not available.

Dear banker, Has this changed? "The settlement for all POS transactions must be done to the merchant account on T + 1 basis, where T is the date the transaction is performed. "

http://www.cenbank.org/cashless/POS_GUIDELINES_August2011_FINAL_FINAL%20(2).pdf

If your answer is no, then ur premise does not hold water. POS transactions are not settlement immediately, even when your account is debited by the acquiring bank when a transaction is consummated. The merchant's account will only be credit a day after the transaction. So the robbers will not have access to the funds instantly. And I can still call my bank to decline the fraudulent transaction.

Mr, and how many days are in the holiday?

You can't call your bank to stop an "approved" transaction. You can only write for a refund which will take a process and not during the holiday. I have handled POS refunds hands on not copied from cbn site. Lolzz

Admit it when u goof. Your first statement which I replied read
"2. So your friend could not contact his bank to have his card blocked and account frozen immediately the robbers left?"

Blocking his card and freezing his account which money left from is irrelevant in recovering the lost money. It can only protect money left in the account.

So my point is the OP's incidence can happen, the only thing it's not sustainable esp when there are no long hols like we just had.

Rexphobia:
Hope they also asked if it was savings or current account?

I find this hard to believe though. Robbers like physical cash as much as possible.

So imagine they wipe all our accounts over the weekend;

1. How will they withdraw all the fund over the weekend, since there is a limit to how much you can collect via the ATM, even if they transfer to another account or bank

2. So your friend could not contact his bank to have his card blocked and account frozen immediately the robbers left?

Guy I'm a banker and I can tell u this is 2,000% possible.

Let's say they came with just one Pos linked to one of their accounts. And they transferred N200k each from 10 flats, that's N2M.

The other members of the gang also has random accounts loosely opened with porous kyc (rem Naija doesn't have a proper ID system and database, you take whatever the customer presents especially when it's seen as a casual savings account).

Now op said this happened during this long hols, let's assume on Wed 23rd nite.
Now they have, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, and 28 and even 29th early morning (5, 6 or 7 solid days to conclude their criminal acts)

The 2M gets shared into 3, that's 2 more accs of their gang members, 700k, 700k and 600k.

Next action, withdraw 100k daily from the different accs, some banks allow more. They can do POS purchases as well of goods they can easily sell off.

On the bolded, they have already robbed them of their funds, monies have left their accs to the robbers accounts, is she gonna call her bank to block an empty account? Unless to protect the monies left if any. They don't have the robbers' acc details remember?

So this can happen live.
I have seen where ATM cards are cloned and used to make airline Bleep purchases, esp those days of magnetic strip cards. Nobody can hold the recipient of such Pos transfers liable especially if they actually sell what funds were transferred for. Nobody comes to buy from you and you go asking them for source of funds or if they are criminals.

So he knows he has a frog voice.

Na im talk am, no be me

Yea but unique and lovely that I wondered why he wasn't singing all this while.

Most of them good singers have cracked voices, Davido etc

NgeneUkwenu:
For The 3 Weeks, In fact since the beginning of December, we have been having almost constant power supply in my area and I wonder what could be responsible for this, though one of my neighbors attributed it to "Harmattan Season"!

Can I hear from you guys?

~Miss Ngene

lalasticlala Can we get the general views of the people...We need to hold government accountable to the people.

My office is in Amuwo, yes light has improved tremendously to close to 22hrs daily on the average. But it's a lie to say this started 1st week in Dec; this started this Christmas week.
It's also worthy to note that that's what always happens during this season when people travel and load goes down drastically.
Let's wait till February when the loads will be fully back, then we can judge.

Henovy:
I just told you about Delta and no denials! Now tell us about Lagos and Ogun if you know. Mention names and figures. Nonsense!

Lolzz, e pain am,,,

EternalTruths:
Where is Prof Tam David West who during Jonathan's era said that petrol should not sell above #40 per litre.

Why is he quiet.?

I hope he has not eaten Cocoa yam abi na Yam.?


Come out and explain to us oooooo

He was lobbying to be Petroleum Minister, but as he was dumped totally, if na u nko?

Please leave Ben Bruce out of this, he has been speaking out against this government when they err.

No govt is totally bad or totally good.

He will begin to sound like a broken if all he does is criticize whatever the govt does.

PDP guys are more mature in their approach to opposition, not like Mr Lie.

Henovy:
E don tay when e start! Why do you think that some judges hustle for tribunal appointments? Ask the Delta tribunal members! I hear say na 3b and they have not denied it otherwise we would have seen court papers flying around suing for libel of course!

E don tay ba, u heard of Delta only? How muuch did Lagos and Ogun pay? Taraba nko?

SavageGarden:
;DOya go away..you too like trouble

.

Henovy:
Hmnn, I didn't know that you know the man that much. A first timer clinching the post of minority senate leader! Do you know the guy sailed smoothly through the appeal tribunal case. Dollars in action!

Amusu abi Amousun scales thru tribunal, oh victory for democracy, Akpabio scales thru, dollars in action right? Anyway that shows how judiciary under buhari has turned to the highest bidder.

subterfuge:
BETTER DON'T CELEBRATE NOW. BECAUSE AKPABIO HAS ENOUGH CASH TO BRIBE EVEN ALL THE APC MEMBERS IN BOTH AKWA IBOM STATE AND THE AKWA IBOM STATE APC MEMBERS ALL ARROUND THE WORLD..
REMEMBER THAT AKPABIO LIVES PERMANENTLY IN THE PRESIDENTIAL WING OF THE SAME AKWA IBOM GOVERNMENT HOUSE, WHILE GOVERNOR UDOM EMMANUEL LIVES IN THE GOVERNORS WING. REMEMBER THAT AKPABIO HAS SOME ROOMS FILLED WITH RAW BILLIONS OF DOLLARS.. SO TRUST AKPABIO, DOLLARS WILL FLOW CEASELESSLY LIKE WATER DURING THE RE-RUN OF THE GOVERNORSHIP ELECTIONS.

How do u know all these, e pain u say nothing for Apheecee?
So u resort to propaganda

I bet you don't know how Akpabio developed Akwa Ibom

SavageGarden:
Your village What has his place of origin got to do with his crime...huh tell me

Are u feeling any kind of guilt by my question? Lolzz

There is no Kazeem in my village, how about urs

How can u enter the room of someone that have been sending u love messages? The man is an animal, but @ 33 the lady should have been wise. The mumu cannot even meet bail condition of 200k, his four kids out of school 'cos of 100k na anoda man something dey hungry am

Which village is he from sef

And how are we sure the man didn't rape her and she is covering up, from the public and her husband.

Gbenga003:
Dear Fellow Nigerians, I got a call from MTN customer care this afternoon that I should come and do data capturing again after doing data capturing twice. Please, NCC should do something about MTN disrupting people's lives and work schedules. Thanks

Are they the only network? Why are u still there?

Excuzeme:
No one should bite more than they can chew, at a single time!

When you want to "sort things out", you start from the easiest .....or those on-top!

Just keep a Diary of those people, their time will come very soon.
We cant over-stretch the EFCC since they have a limited number of staff and resources.

Let me also add: Logically, have you seen a warrior take on ALL HIS ENEMIES, at the same time?

You keep your "thieving friends" while fighting your "enemies" .... less you are forced to fight EVERYBODY and LOSE!

Time to fight your "friends" will come later, when you have defeated your enemies.
Its just common sense and strategy

Chillax and have a cup of tea while watching in 3D

Ok o, I'm watching

Please when will they invite Bankole, and his partners in crime?, this Dasuki's is a child's play to Bankole's loot. How about Farouk and Otedola's case, the pension fund etc. We are watching, I hope some people are not sacred cows or have bought Efcc perpetually?

prettysolid:
That is why I will always remain catholic.

No time for these end time churches

And in catholic they don't contribute?

@ op, where did you see tithe written in the letter. It's not even a Nigerian Church or even African.

I benefited long queues at d gas station.

Cute baby, but o serious gan

xandy84:
You are wrong. Every countries in the world has a street trading with little or no regulation from the government. What the CBN should do is make Dollars accessible to genuine buyers and discourage people from patronizing the black market. Fixing a limit on how much i dollars i can spend daily is an encouragement for people to patronize black market.

Of course there is enough fx for genuine buyers, LCs, travellers, etc, but for that one you want to spend by the corner, no way. Have you heard of round tripping?

Neeson:
Please could you forward this to Nigerian police e-channels, it's that serious.

Pls how do I do that, I don't know that's why I sent it here, thanks

A friend sent in this:

ATTENTION :ATTENTION :ATTENTION ------------ THIRD MAINLAND BRIDE DEATH TRAP . True life story by IFEYINWA Okafor-Mbah

NO MATTER HOW HECTIC THE TRAFFIC MAYBE ................ PLEASE DON'T ALLOW THE DRIVERS TAKE ANY "SHORTCUT"


I have always noticed a portion of land at the right hand side of the road with two big gates immediately you descend the THIRD MAINLAND BRIDGE going towards Adekunle but I have never really thought it could be a hide out for the MEN of the UNDERWORLD but last week Friday I came in direct contact with them.

On my way home from work I took a bus from Obalende to Yaba which is my normal route to and fro work every day. Immediately the bus descended the third mainland bridge the conductor jumped down and two men opened the big gates while beckoning on the driver to drive in. This was at 7:00pm. As soon as I noticed it, I started shouting and telling him that it's not possible because there is no road there connecting Yaba (at least not any that I know of) the men and the conductor insisted and I continued shouting and holding the driver maintaining that he continued on the proper route or I get down from the bus ( while this was going on between I and the driver nobody in the bus talked . I also noticed a man in white regalia in front of me who I think was working with them because he kept stirring at me and never said anything rather he will look and face down as if he was pressing something ).

While struggling with the driver, one man at the back of the seat stood up and said he wanted to get down and if they have a bad plan it has failed starting with him(I was at the middle seat). So we became two that were continuous of the environment aside from the people I guess were in conjunction with the driver and others who didn't know what was going on.
Seeing that I was drawing attention because some other vehicles were slowing down, the driver made a U-turn back to third mainland bridge while making signs to those that opened the gate for him to join him and I kept shouting that he was a killer and that they want to either rob or kill us so he turned back to Adekunle.( I want to say here that the driver never defended himself or countered what I was saying)

After we entered Adekunle road, some of the passengers were startled because I continued talking about it as we drove along Herbert Macaulay road. According to them, they didn't even know what I was talking about (I concluded they were under a spell) .

I took it as one of those things after telling some members of my family the story that night.

But the story took a new turn this morning when a friend I boarded a bus with on my way to work told me that a guy left Ikorodu for UNILAG yesterday to defend his project and up til now his friends and family have not seen him and he has been declared missing.

While thinking of the danger so many people might be in right now, I decided to tell her my story and hoped she would also spread it to others but while narrating my story to my friend, the driver of the bus heard us and he confirmed that some mysterious things are happening there truly. He said that some people were rubbed under the same bridge two day ago after a bus drove into the same place and a man from his neighborhood was among the victims ( I believe it was a planned job between the robbers and the driver of the vehicle).

PLEASE pass this story to all your friends and family until it gets to the RIGHT SECURITY PERSONNEL. That PLACE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED FAST because there might be some victims under the bridge right now.
