I don't have any regards for gated private developments (Estate) as executed in Nigeria. But the choice to buy or not to buy in a gated development is a personal choice in its entirety. It depends on how you want to live, the variables you want to control living your life and the complete freedom and ownership over your estate (building). I may buy into a government gated development but not a private one for the following reasons:

Viability
Gated development needs serious capital and top-notch legal documentation and title documents. But in Nigeria, this is done haphazardly without proper title document, proper funding, estate layout and building of supportive infrastructure. It is all too common for estate vendors to take your money and don't allocate you immediately. The allocation may take years if at all. The allocation depends all too often on the uptake and subscription. If the subscription is poor, there is the real chance that you will never be allocated and because the project was poorly funded from inception (just hoping on subscription), the whole project may collapse with subscribers losing their deposits and payments. This is all too common.

Risk/Agitation of ethnic nationalities
Apart from governmental approval by way of excision and global Certificate of Occupancy which can be cumbersome and long winding, there is also the risk of the agitation of ethnic nationalities laying claims to the project and family squabbles. The problem is subscribers will not be aware of these underlining problems until they make payment and then these problems rear their ugly heads especially if the venture is successful. It should be noted that subscribers need government excision and approval of the Global Certificate of Occupancy to have complete legal ownership of the title document and the built property.

Lack of control
Even if the venture is successful, all too often the vendors will place so many restrictive covenants on the estate. For example, subscribers can only build a certain type of property. This to me is monotonous and boring. The vendors legislate what you can use your building for and how you can use it. So if your circumstances change, you will need to seek permission for a change of use of your property and possibly heavy payment therefrom. The freedom and advantage of converting your property in future for example to profitable shops is out. I don't like this loss of freedom and dominion over my property. Tomorrow is pregnant; nobody knows what it will bear. If that tomorrow comes, I want the freedom to decide not some estate management firm.

The burden of unadopted
Most estates in Nigeria are unadopted by the government. This means the roads and the supply of amenities like electricity are at the expense of the subscribers. Estate security, service charge and refuse discharge are managed by the vendors. There are even cases where electricity is supplied by vendors. Under normal circumstances, this can be a good thing. But in Nigeria, we have witnessed vendor charging extortionist rate for these services making a peaceful living in some estate impossible. And because such payments are communal, you have a situation where some estate subscribers will be paying diligently, others will not be paying as at when due thereby leeching on others. Because not all are paying, the money raised is never enough to carry out the needed maintenance of the estate, so that money goes into a black hole and the estate is left derelict which devalues the properties in the estate.

I may buy into a government scheme but will hesitate to subscribe to a private scheme. There is a huge advantage of a gated community like security but I don't like loss of personal control that may come with a gated scheme. I would rather buy a large expanse of land, but a personal residence and a couple of bungalows for rentals and gate it. So I have control and security.

ArcToyin:
Both are good.
Outside estate challenge is omo onile wahala, if you are able to scale through that, nothing else. The land cost of outside estate is very cheap compared to those of Estates even in the same region. In Estates, you are able to enjoy infrastructural facilities, security is guaranteed too. Outside Estate, you pay less on annual due( developmental dues, maintainace, security etc).

Dont mind the way i arranged it.

davodyguy:
You seem not to get me.

You go to land registry and request for search.

Right there you'll see either a Civil Servant or people who are charlatans opting to assist you.

Officially, which would be paid via LIRS is ₦5,700+ or thereabout. But that individual that would be running around for you to fast track, would definitely not do it for free. Hence, budget in Total for official and fast tracking ₦10,000.

Try visiting Lands tomorrow to have a first hand knowledge of what I am talking about

davodyguy:
Ideally, you should, but expect bottleneck.

Pay the 10k and get it from them in Alausa. You can go there tomorrow

davodyguy:
Ok

Does any one have some sort of example of the required letter which is suppose to explain your itinerary, when you arrive and leave Brazil and the purpose of your trip?
I know it sounds self explanatory, but I just want to make sure I get it right, so I was hoping someone had a template or some really good advise.

Hey guys, I have a house that’s currently under construction. It is past decking level, but we started to notice some holes on the German floor. What could be the cause of these concrete collapse? Is it an indication of foundation problem? How can it be corrected.

Please can someone refer me to a page where the cost of travelling was explained in full details, like amount one have to budget for the travel as against income and monthly expenditure, and also disposable income, I've tried to locate that particular page but i couldn't

Bluefin:
In my opinion, what a Visa Officer will really want to see is something that explains why you cannot have your baby in your home country.
-High Maternal Mortality
-The provider you found in CA is specialized in your type of preg risk or condition
-High Rate of Sudden Infant Death syndrome etc
-Past history of complication

I do not think including citizenship in this bracket is a good idea because a visa officer will be like [b]really? [/b]you want free health care and school when your child is 18 and you would never have contributed to the economy.

Hello all, i’ve been an observer for quite a while.
I have admission to study MBA at University of Illinois. I have been denied twice,I’m weighing my options and wondering if I should reapply.
On both occasions, no documents were checked.
Tuition is $35k no funding
Sponsor: fiancé
I’m beginning to feel the sponsor might be the issue, because that’s usually the last question. Now my Dad is willing to sponsor me (I didn’t involve my parents until the second denial), so I’m considering using my Dad now or both of them.
My concern: would this be a red flag?
Changing my sponsor

Good evening friends

I applied for uk visa along side my wife on March this year and we were both denied. I re applied, alone in September and oh yeah the visa came through (picked it up today). Thanks to you all for your help.

In the mean time I will like my wife to apply too so we can travel together in November. Anyone with an idea how I can pull this off ? Because in my own application I stated that I will be traveling alone.

Once again big thanks to this forum. God go bless Una well well

ojiforeal:
Yh sure, Its a transit visa. As at the time i booked my flight Turkish Air was on the high side, I traveled with Egypt Air. Turkish fare came down back to almost the same price with Egypt Air fare a week before i traveled. But i have already booked the flight with egypt so i had to ignore.

Onbami:
That's not true.
My brother was given Visa without any travel history.
He has never left Nigeria for anything.
He applied for Canadian Visa and was given.

Good Morning Nairalanders..Please I will like to ask the gurus in the house.I applied for Netherlands visa(HOLIDAY***13DAYS) through France embassy as I was told they are the ones handling it as their is no Netherland embassy in Nigeria.All required documents ticked...From flight reservation to hotel ,landed property,travel insurance among others.My bank statements with balance of 16M plus (Personal account) .I own a company that produces animal feeds and a poultry/Farm.Its a virgin passport.What are my chances as of getting visa as a first time traveler.Thanks all in advance.....

lami88:
Well, sorry about the denial. But, if you had shared your profile with us here before you applied, we would have advised you appropriately. Canada is very strict with ttavel travel history. That is one country that if you have never travelled out before, it would be very difficult to get their visa. I have not seen anyone without ttavel history get a canadian visa( i stand to be corrected though). You might have to chill for now and try other countries before reaaplying to canada again
