I have like 5 acres of land at Ibeju Lekki (Lekki Free Trade Zone), it is situated behind ARM Beechwood estate.
The price per plot goes for 2 million naira. if you are interested you can call this number :08034949792 or email me at ardourjewels@ymail.com.
You have the opportunity to inspect the place.

If it is behind Beechwood estate, it CANNOT be in the Free Trade Zone area. If in the description of the location of your property, you're already telling blatant lies, I would advise ALL to proceed with EXTREME CAUTION. This man may be a fraudster.

The Lekki Free Trade Zone is at least another 20 minutes drive (at 100kph) from Beechwood Estate.

Every society get what it derserves. If you want more from these media you need to contribute to their report. All the international news media you favoured get information and reports from ordinary people who are not in any way connected with journalism as a profession. How many Nigerians locally and in the diaspora contribute to their pool. It is true many of these newspapers do write junks and lies and assumptions as truths, and you may feel that you dont get what you are expecting, the reality is nobody is speaking or releasing infomation in Nigeria. Those who manages to do so either seeks for gratification, speaks half-truths or non thruths. Those in government have even signed to oaths of secrecy. So my people for the little you get, you should be grateful to get at all. Most thruths only comes out when there is crises in the polity or amongst the ruling elites.[b] This is the only country where government is always planning, formulating, intending, proposing, thinking, strategising, preparing, seeking, trying, managing, talking, losing, hoping, parleying, discussing, wanting, wishing, articulating, gathering; but never act, do or achieve.[/b] So what we get is garbage in garbage out and we must eat the garbage. The truth is you need to read the papers to know about all these "ings".

OM Gosh!!! The above is soooo very true. Especially of Tinubu's government and the way The Punch was always reporting these "ings" as news. The Fourth Mainland Bridge and the Coastal Road come to mind. ThisDay even got in on the act by giving Tinubu's government an award for those projects. And today, they haven't even started, still!!!

babapupa:

Actually, zik's action wasn't rational and thought trough. Personally, Awo didn't  wrong zik in any way, other folks within the region did by Cross carpeting to Awo's AG Party.

Awo and Zik were the main brains in the south and by extension the most sophisticated political minds in Nigeria. Awo did the right thing by going to Zik because he saw what Zik didn't see or failed to see, same thing a lot of our current leaders in the south are still not seeing and incapable of seeing.

You can not do business with Hausa folks and progress, Awo saw this and reached out to Zik and zik should have ignored the '54 mess and pay attention to the bigger picture. Unfortunately, he did not, he knowingly went with the hausa folks for personal reasons because it was obvious he wasn't getting nothing but a junior partnership roll for his effort by messing with the North. He basically advanced the Northern agenda because the Hausa folks were playing for keeps, that same agenda is still killing us as a Nation.

The North is a major and solid block against divided south and they've been using the most effective ruling tool (Divide and rule) in the world against us. Unfortunately, we still haven't learnt our lesson.


What if Zik had set aside his pride and formed an alliance with Awo?

What if I told you that Zik did not make that choice to go with the North willingly? What if I told you that documents have recently come to light that show that Zik was being blackrmailed by the British since at least 1956 with the threat of jail for stealing money from ACB (African Continental Bank) for his party?

What if I told you that NCNC won the elections of 1959 into the Federal Parliament What if I told you that this same Zik should have been Prime Minister instead of the ceremonial President he became, but he had to let the British rig the election, the population figures and accept the office for fear of going to jail?

The ongoing "sanitisation" of the banking sector is just another front in the Jihad being waged by the Fuanis against the rest of us, including, believe it or not, the Hausas, who they view with the utmost disdain.

We need to get our act together, first in the West, then in the South in general. We must stop banking, for now, with any of the banks that have been taken over.

Never mind what the Americans said about Nigeria breaking up by 2015. The Fulanis appear bent on bringing that event horizon forward.

It is interesting that Sanusi Lamido Sanusi earned his degree in Sharia studies in Sudan - Northern Sudan to be precise. This is the country where they have been trying for years to wipe out their Christian and non-Arab South for years, through supporter of APC militia more recently, and various military campaigns in the past.

It is possible that Sanusi Lamido Sanusi has seen his desired utopia in the Northern Sudanese system and wants to copy and paste that same system into Nigeria, starting with his "banking reform".

It is also interesting that Lugard, who created this contraption called Nigeria, with all its booby traps and time bombs, also ran Sudan for a while. Even more shocking is the fact that Macpherson, who was our last colonial governor, also ruled Sudan before coming to Nigeria.

Let he who has ears hear.

What make is the generator?

Is this land in an estate? If it is, it's most likely free of Omo-onile palaver. By estate, I mean a proper estate with a perimeter fence, proper layout and possibly some infrastructure, not just cleared bush.

If you can answer the following questions, I'll post my email address here for more details:

1. What type of title does the land have? Is it a C of O or an excision?

2. If it is an excision, can you post the exact name of the village and the date of the gazette?

3. If it is a C of O, can you make a scanned copy available for verification, or even the C of O number?

4. Does it have a perimeter fence, and is it a planned estate?

5. If so, does it have an Approved Layout, which approval was given by LASPHYDDA?

6. Again, if 4 is a yes, what infrastructure, if any, do you plan to deliver with the estate?


If the answer to question 1 is no, there is no need to answer any further questions. I will not be interested, because I know it will definitely be "omo-onile" land, and I can't deal with that baggage.

By the way, if those are your interiors, they are quite nice. Although things like the staircase balustrades would probably not stand up to the kind of punishment Nigerian children are capable of dishing out!

larez:

My Brother: I laughed when I saw the picture. It is obviously an interpretation of a ROMAN classical column. I am glad that you showed me the picture, because my personal oral history claims that my fore fathers (Yorubas) migrated from the lower Euphrates. If I am correct about archeological discoveries from Yorubaland, then it indicates that the movement started during the time of the great Roman kingdom. And it took a few hundreds of years to come settle in Western Nigeria. Sango, Ogun, and Oya, are distinctly similar to the greek gods Odin, Thor and the female one that I forget. Thor also had a hammer as a weapon like Sango, I think. If you were to look at how ancient Yorubas dressed for battle, you will see some resemblance as well. The question of history is and will always be 'how far back', and 'who was the keeper of the records'. Thanks for the picture though.

Once again, I must let you know that I actually like your buildings from what I could see. I was only trying to add to, and not take away. On the issue of creating some Nigerian whatever you called it,  You know sey dat one na storeeeey. Berger builds like Oyinbo, and every Nigerian wants a Berger house. Very soon, they will all want a LAREZ house. lol

If archaeologists are to be believed, human migratory patterns suggest a movement from Africa to Europe, and not vice-versa. If this is true, would it not them be logical to conclude that the Norse gods whom you mention (Odin and Thor are from Norse mythology), are actually European corruption of an old Yoruba tale, handed down from Nordic generation to generation, and distorted in the process? Thor reportedly wielded a hammer and controlled the weather, and there the similarities end. In Sango's case, we know for certain that he in fact existed, albeit in a more mortal form as a King of the Oyo Empire. The stories about his mother being Nupe and how he was a great warrior king ring true, although the stories of his transfiguration into a god may be a little far-fetched attempt to cover the shame of a King committing suicide.

I think you are referring to Zeus and another Greek god I do not now recall. However, my point is, we do not know for certain who is copying who here, so I prefer to claim that for my own culture, until I see incontrovertible evidence that proves me wrong. Remember that the Greeks virtually all the gods in their entire pantheon from the Egyptians, a culture they borrowed heavily from. Our history points to a migration of the Yorubas from somewhere up in the North East, and linguists have shown a striking similarity between Yoruba and ancient Egyptian language and customs. An instance is the burial of the King with a lot of his worldly possessions and some slaves, known in Yoruba as Abobaku (awon tii ba oba ku).

I have had cause to listen to a some recitations of small parts of the Ifa corpus, and if you do, you'll be amazed at the amount of knowledge ancient Yorubas possessed. In amongst a lot of the religious dogma, is a lot of more conventional everyday wisdom, and technological references that hint faintly at a much, much more advanced culture than we're given to know by the recieved Western influenced history. The knowledge for instance of medicine, is nothing short of AMAZING.

In Nigeria, we always try to reinvent the wheel, and keep ending up with triangles.

Re-invent the wheel? Hardly. Here is an image that you really should study properly. It is a photograph of a Sango shrine taken in 1910 and now stored at the Frobenius Institute.

http://www.clarku.edu/~jborgatt/bg_shangoshrine1.jpg

please observe the columns. I think it's safe to say that the colonialists did not build this shrine, and that it had been built long before they arrived in Lagos in 1861. This makes it abundantly clear that columns were an integral part of Yoruba architecture before the arrival of the white man, and that if I'm guilty of copying or interpreting anyone, it does involve a copious amount of local content.

Keep arguing. You just might learn something.

larez:

This is why we don't grow in naija and keep going backwards. I think you are being very hypocritical. How can it be self-loathing? You may like being a joke to Oyinbo who sees you mimicking them without knowing how to do things right, and they laugh at you. I assumed that you may appreciate what I was adding, but you have obviously missed the point.

I specialize in high-end homes in the USA, and my clients describe me as the best. I have also won many awards which proves their assertions. When I do a design or build them a home, it looks like "old money" and not "La Riche Neuveau". This is because my work tends to be authentic to their history, while giving them today's lifestyle as well. I am not sure if you understand what I mean. However, I was only trying to help out, and I apologize if you feel offended. Sorry ohhh.

I really do not understand this your argument and insistence that I'm copying someone that I don't even acknowledge, when you yourself are admitting here that you do your work in the USA. All of your arguments would be valid if I were in the USA too. However, I'm in Nigeria, proudly so too, adding my own bit to the culture of our country, while you are in the USA, contributing your own very valid quota to their growth. It works for you in the USA, and your clients hail you as the best there. I may not be the best in Nigeria, or even Lekki, but the buildings, judging from your inability to UNDERSTAND them, are unique in their own right, and are valid contributions to the architectural culture of NIGERIA, not the USA. You are exhibiting a very well understood Oyinbo trait: if you don't understand it, tear it down!! By your standards, the talking drum of the Yoruba would be a musical abomination then, since it might actually be a culturally inaccurate copy of the jazz drum set, abi?

Just a little extra,  Adaptation means adjusting to suit various factors such as climatic conditions. It does not mean lack of thorough analysis and problem resolutions.  People should be more precise in how things like edges meet, scale relationships, and others. Afterall, when things are well done, it pleases everyone's eyes. Columns, eaves and other stuff like that are based on Historical proportions such as the height of the rooms and the styles in classical Architecture,  The Doric, Ionic, Corinthian and Tuscan Columns are the Architectural historic basis for columns,  Then  there were various interpretations of these. This explains where looking at the building gives me some conflict Architecturally. It imitates the New Orleans Battery style, but the huge oversized cornice work, and the Ultra-modern large columns conflict with the style. Do not get me wrong though, I still think they are very nice houses. One little piece of advice though, I think you should raise the chair rail on the interior a little bit, the proportion to the height of the rooms is off. I am guessing that you have 10' ceilings. Try 42-48" from the floor.

I have never been to corinth, Ion or Tuscany, talk less of seeing how they interpret columns, which by the way, have been used by virtually every known civilisation since the Egyptians and the Sumerians, as well as the Yorubas (yes, the Yorubas). I have simply borrowed the English interpretation of columns, married it with the Yoruba concept of the same thing (we always used tapering columns in our palaces, albeit decorated with carved animal motifs), and DESIGNED the house with the Comfort of the Nigerian family in mind. Large windows, to bring in loads of light and air, bricks to conserve a convenient ambient temperature, and high ceilings to give whatever heat there might be, room to rise into. The rest is just decoration. This your obsession with New Orleans pass me o. That's yet another place I've never been to. The architect, working under my direct instruction, has never been to any of these places either. Don't know what their houses look like, and don't really want to fall into that trap of trying to COPY someone else. I'm encouraging you to look deeper into your own architectural history. You might be surprised at what you'll find.

For your further education:

http://csweb.bournemouth.ac.uk/africanlegacy/old_oyo.htm

Check this out, and where you see mud course, read brick. Oyinbos are notorious for refusing to acknowledge that any smidgen of greatness could have emerged from our part of the world. Greatness is not bequeathed. It is seized. Acknowledge yourself to be great, and eventually, you will begin to internalise it, and soon enough, people will begin to acknowledge it. If you continue to denigrate your own people, and exhibit the self-loathing you displayed in this brief conversation of ours, you will continue to feel inferior, and ergo, BE inferior.

larez:

I'm sorry Bro, but I disagree with you. Even America copied from the Brits, French and Dutch. After mastering, they then developed better styles based on their lifestyles and technological growth. It is a crock to make statements like you made. Red bricks are not Nigerian. They are used all over the world. Neither is Terra Cota, nor concrete Blocks. We tend to make excuses for our inability to study things appropriately. There are still some colonial homes standing today, and they look much better, and were built much better than the junk being built in Nigeria nowadays.Sorry, but this is my well educated opinion.

From the bolded above, it's plain to see that you in fact agree with me. I really would slow my roll, if I were you, with this argument about redbricks not being Nigerian. I was fortunate enough to see some authentic village life, as it pretty much was before being touched by "modernisation". It would interest you to know that in some parts of Ondo, FIRED BRICKS were being used for construction BEFORE contact was made with the "white" man. This I know for a fact. There is a picture somewhere on the internet, which shows the palace of the Alaafin of Oyo in pre-colonial times. It was built of brick. Man, know thyself. If you refuse to open your eyes and your mind to learn your own history, you will be taught nonsense by your teachers (apologies to Abami Eda - that's Fela Anikulapo-Kuti to you).

larez:

My brother, i wasn't trying to diss your building. Eclectic means no defined Architectural style. This is very common in Nigeria though and it should give me an edge with my designs. In a way, it looks like a New Orleans, French quarters style, Which is actually a victorian. But the details are not supportive of this style. In a way, let me put it like this, My designs are true to their styles, and after being built, you will not know if it was built yeaterday or 100 years ago during it's period.

We actually study styles and try to make authentic interpretations.

While I appreciate your faithfulness to specific architectural styles, regardless of their origins or suitability for our own local conditions, our approach is markedly different from yours.

We tend to look at our situation here in Nigeria, take every possible variable into consideration, and then design our houses to take account of those considerations. This is one reason at least why we build with Red Brick. You might say that we are developing a distinctly Nigerian architectural style, having decided not to just copy from some other country wholesale and just regurgitate it here.

larez:

Crete tile must be a Brand name. What material is it made out of? Do you deck your roofs or attack it to purlins?

This is indeed the brand name given to it by Nigerite, who have made this roofing material popular in Nigeria. It is however a generic material, and can be produced by anyone that can afford the equipment. There are various interpretations of this material, from the French to the South African to the Chinese. It is actually commonly used in the UK as well.

chamotex:

Tope you don't have to lie u know

Say wetin happen?   Na Aso Rock abi na Gold dem take build am??

You may be able to afford it one day. After all, human beings like you are buying much worse homes in VGC, Park View, Ikoyi and VI for considerably more than the prices quoted, in some cases, up to 10 times more!

larez:

@ Felele,  Do you use metal trusses for your roofs? What kind of roofing do you put on them? Asphalt Shingles?

No, we do not use metal trusses. Wood. And we use "crete-tile" Roman style roof tiles.

larez:

You can't judge the price unless you know how much the Land factor is. I dunno if it's me, but the details bother me so much. The building is just eclectic without no Architectural origin or style. Where are the efficianados?

Tope it looks like you're seeking a house huh? Or do you just love looking at houses?

Ok, I admit I don't understand this question. Please break it down for a brother, in simple English, if you please. It's all the more befuddling because in the first part of the sentence you say the building is "eclectic", then you go on to say it has not style or origin. Please assist me out of my confusion.

I saw this development last time i was in Lagos, nice development but i felt it was quite far from VI and lekki itself.
All the best with your sale.

Before the next 2 years are over, you will be saying VI and "Lekki" are far away from Amen Estate.

Check out the Lagos and Lekki Free Trade Zones and the largest Deep Sea Port in West Africa, all under construction within 10 minutes of Amen Estate. Not to mention the new 3 terminal Airport planned for the area. Note that ALL these projects are privately owned. The state government is trying to get private developers to take up the Airport project as well on a BOT basis. Notices already went out inviting tenders from interested private sector organisations for the construction and operation of the Terminal 1 runway and terminal.

Don't miss this rather profitable boat.

You can get yourself a home like this at Amen Estate. This is an picture of an actual Afin, a 6 bedroom mansion at Amen Estate. Contact 0805 756 4091 for more information.
