Nice house, decent price.

You need a degree in engineering for you to reason properly?

If you don't, then shut up and keep your so-called "feeling" to yourself.

Stop telling experts how to do something your have never done and know nothing about.

Chatting nonsense like "they should be able to finish it under 2 - 3 months" without having an iota of a clue about civil engineering is not what is called 'reasoning properly'.

It is what is called 'reasoning from your ass with supreme confidence'.

Experts are using their knowledge, education, assessment, work plans and modelling to plan and do, you are busy correcting them with knowledge you pulled from your ass. And when they say Nigerian youths are unemployable because they lack the training and brains, you will be beating your chest that you are a proper graduate.

thesicilian:
I already feel closing a bridge of such importance for 6 whole months for repairs is a big mistake. If they work night and day in shifts with high tech equipment, they should be able to finish it under 2 - 3 months.

Do you have a Structural/Civil Engineering degree?

ProfAmaben:
Kid spotted.

Just admit you demonstrated no sense with your foolish conclusion if a "kid" can highlight your folly.

Next time "research, think (i.e. use the oblongata), before you talk", so you don't come up with such grand foolish vomit again in public, while you label yourself "Prof".

ProfAmaben:
Homosexual spotted.

Did you pull it out of your ass?

You ass hole must be gigantic to be able to pull such magnitude of foolishness out of it. So you are a homosexual?

ProfAmaben:
Kindly remove the smart and leave only the game in your moniker.

Did you pull that "analysis" out of your ass?

ProfAmaben:
Penalties are the sole reason why Messi hasn't won any tangible trophy for Argentina.

To be the best, you have to master all tenets of soccer such as Heading, Penalties, Freekicks, outside shot, one on one situations and dribbling.

Ronaldo has it all.

What a profoundly foolish analysis!

Alwaysachick:
There is too much hunger in the land to deprive people of their only source of livelihood.

Arrest them, fine them not impound in this hard times.

These law enforcers seize foreign rice in Lagos but go to IMO to sell them. Impond bikes in Oshodi go to Apapa to sell them, confisticate supposed stolen moneys but share it amongst themselves.

If you don't want your property impounded/seized/confiscated, because you need it for hard times, then don't use it to break the law.

It is that simple. It is not rocket science, or is it?

In a shithole country, this is luxury.

In a normal country, this is low-class.

Ronaldo is also:

The first player to score over 10 penalties in four European Leagues.









All these useless statistics when we know who is the real GOAT!

This is fantastic video work.

Beautiful shots and a very beautiful university.

you can send a message on whatsapp so i can show you more pictures and videos of the house sir, if you dont mind.

It would have been more convenient to see it in the advert.

That is the norm.

GregJames:
??

Where are the trees, gardens and parks around the houses?

It is just another concrete jungle where you see bricks everywhere?

Lhoraproperties:
house sir

Why are there no pictures of the interior and exterior of the house then?

Another Nigerian concrete jungle.

Is it graphics that is for sale or a house?

335 million dollars.

Okay, you win that point.

That fee was 3.2% of what he won.

I guess it was not capped because the CEO was his friend.

Check out this link. Check how much number 2 earned for one oil company case.

Okay, it says his contigency fee was $335.

And your point is?

Take your L in peace, there's no shame in being schooled by a well informed young man.

You are naive, not well informed.

You know nothing about fees and legal work

No one with a brain pays lawyers 10% for a non-complex case of short-changing of money due to be calculated and refunded.

Lawyers doing more complex disagreements cannot command such percentages.

Get schooled and stop chest-beating!

https://thenationonlineng.net/paris-club-refund-row-350m-fees-consultants/

Above is the link . Ned Nwoko and his collegues were actually owed $350 million for the case against Paris club. The amount to be returned was $3.5billion. What they did is arbitration. At that point a corporation or country has no choice than to pay the 10% required by an arbitration lawyer and keep their 90% or lose all.

That is not evidence of legal fees.

That is evidence of legal corruption.

Nigeria does not need to pay lawyers to "facilitate" return of money Paris Funds that was willing refunded. Even if with was not willing, no sane and clean government will pay such amount or percentage for such services.

Typical legal percentages are below 2% and the larger the figure the more responsible authorities cap the fees, whereby when a figure is reached (e.g. $10m), that is the max to be paid and percentages become irrelevant.

This is just an arrangement by some governors to loot.

You showed evidence of corruption, not evidence of legal fees.

ethicallyright:
Let's take Manchester City case at CAS for instance. If Man City can pay Sterling , De Brunye et Al, and even buy players for 250 million pounds, what makes you think the arbitration lawyer that defended Man City against UEFA lawyers won't get 10 million pounds for the case when all the money they used to purchase the players would have been wasted without an appearance at UEFA champions league in two years or relegation to League 1?

Lawyers get paid as much as 500million dollars for multibillion dollars arbitration cases. In fact the price is 10% like agency.

Law practice at that level is like sports agency. Your clients determine your pay. While the agents of Ronaldo and co are paid in 8 figures, the agents of Sunshine United players are paid in 4 figures.

It's not charge and bail. If house/real estate agents at Lekki do not joke with their 10% what makes you think that high level arbitration lawyers will joke with their 10% after years of education and proficiency?

Speculative nonsense!

ethicallyright:
You've simply taken the simple way out by employing argumentum ad hominem. Attack my points.

I said there's no good law , but a moral or immoral law . If you have an idea of legal jurisprudence, you should understand my "gibberish".

You are just trying to show me what our law professor taught you in one of your law lectures to show he is philosophical.

Secondly I said "good philosophy", if you have that then you will not need to be changing your laws.

ethicallyright:
Does Adam v Lindsell postal rule still apply today in email transactions? For two centuries the postal rule was regarded as a good law.

Law and morality are distinct. According to John Austin , Law is the what the sovereign authority says it is. There is nothing like a good law. Serial killers and mass shooters in American States where capital punishment is prohibited have been given life sentences when the families of the victims demanded death by hanging or electrocution. The families of the victims do not think it is good law while families of the convicted are satisfied. What about divorce laws that have given the fortune of wealthy men as alimony to their spouses who contributed no business advice other than being their marriage partner? See, it's good law to the feminist community and bad law to men who have worked hard to make a mark.

You see, the law is an ass. One can always twist it to suit him. To be "good" and to be "moral" are two distinctive conditions. While the former is objective, the latter is subjective. We have moral laws or non moral laws. There's never been a time in history that humans of any country or race have unanimously acknowledged that law is good.


By the way, there are more poor lawyers than rich ones.

Why all this gibberish?

You did not get the point of good philosophy?

lekki1444:
are you serious ? before johnie cochran died he was making 50 million dollars a year, thats over 100 million naira daily.. you guys dont know nothing

Total moronic nonsense!

No US lawyer makes or has ever made $50m dollars a year from legal work.

Stop pulling rubbish from your yansh!

lekki1444:
not a decent living, its the only profession where you can make 100 million naira in one deal if you know the right people. ask my guy here. top lawyer. oil and gas. earns gazzillion dollars a day.office in victoria island

Nonsense.

You can make the same or more in one deal if you know the right people.

It is called corruption and looting!

Otherwise it is not possible.

You can't make such money legally as fees. You have to make something and have a business that sells it to make such figures.

ethicallyright:
Ned Nwoko's fortune is tied to Law though. He was paid $200 million for a federal government case.

That is not legal fees.

That is a criminal arrangement of which he would be giving money back to the crooks that helped structure such public looting.

No sane country will pay any lawyer those figures. Not even more than $5m in a year will be paid to a lawyer in the US for public legal fees.

ethicallyright:
Law is law but it is also dynamic.

Liberal nations have changed their marriage and matrimonial causes act to reflect gay marriage, contract marriage and even bestiality.

Forensic science evidence have been included in the Evidence Act of technologically advanced nations.

Copyright laws have been extended to the internet and social media in advanced nations. Do you know how many bloggers copy other bloggers and paste verbatim on their blogs in Nigeria? Imagine if they Copyright Law of Nigeria went beyond textbooks and CDs prohibition.

True.

I never said some laws cannot change or new laws cannot emerge. The latter is the whole point of quality of philosophy of a law.

What I objected to was someone stupidly saying because a law is old, it is wrong/obsolete.

A law with good philosophy is everlasting.

opalu:
Legal profession is very lucrative. But I think the criminal justice system as a whole needs a total overhaul to come to terms with today's realities. How can u use laws used for 1980s crimes to tackle 2020 crimes? How can that work?

Laws used for 1854 crimes are still used for 2020 crimes in the US, UK, Germany or any other developed country, so this is a silly point.

Time does not affect quality of laws, it is the quality of the philosophy behind them that affect the quality of a law.

A good law is everlasting.

This is why it is good to elect sensible and intelligent legislatures. Not the likes of Yerima, Dino Melaye, Akpabio, Kashamu, Okorocha, Elisha Abbo, Nwaoboshi and all the other fools we vote for in Nigeria.

gunners160:
Truth be told, a lot of those gibberish courses we studied in school back then are no longer needed again and not just law profession.
I think it is high time Nigeria change her curriculum and focus more on science related courses

Sociology, psychology, business admin, criminology, political science etc no get use

Look at an illiterate talking.

You think civilised societies and countries that want to progress have no relevance for those courses?

Fiscabally:
Ride On

Mr, just next time, don't be making lying claims like Trump.

It is not principled, it is not professional.

We need those two attributes in the work people do in Nigeria, so we have a better country that can compete with others in the world.

Doing anything for money and dropping all values has made the country a shithole already.

Fiscabally:
Keep jibbering jabbing on my thread
Onto the next One!

You can't answer because you know you lied?

Next question is "Why do you think lying is a good marketing approach"?

Why are you like a typical Nigerian, where principles are lacking in your approach in making a living?

Fiscabally:
Mr lecturer,

There ain't no lies in my post!
The property pics speaks for itself.

And stop derailing my thread!

If you are not lying, can you tell us how many country homes you have seen/visited in Ifo?

Is it all or majority of the?

And what assessment criteria did you use to conclude the one you are trying to sell is the best in the whole of Ifo?
