Oga, this area you described is on the outskirts of Lagos. AIT road is at Alagbado on the border with Ogun State.

If you live there and work in V/I or any part of Lagos Island, you will suffer from high traffic jams and lots of stress. You will have to leave your are at 4:30a.m, to be able to get to work for 7-8a.m.

So your advice can only work for a person who works in Ikeja, or Sango Otta, and lives in your area.

Those living in Kola and Alagbado where that guy is living is not regarded as living in Lagos.

5 years ago, 50k could give him a good house in Abeokuta. Banks are in Sapon and One Ilewo and houses in Sapon are dirt cheap. Sapon to Oke ilewo is N70 bike. He's talking about renting a house of 60k in Abeokuta and making it sound as if he's being frugal.

Let him work in Victoria Island and be living in that same Kola or Alagbado. He would be spending his salary on fuel and stress reliving drugs.

laudate:
Please in which part of Lagos do you stay exactly?

Most likely Epe deep inside, Ikorodu close to Sagamu, Ayobo after Deeper Life, Badagry on way to Seme border. You know those locations that it is faster to get to Ikoyi from Osun state than it is for them to get to Ikoyi.

Sorry bro, Aja in lagos is it slums. If you want me to refer you to where you will get qauter a plot of land with 400k in aja I will do that.

Oga, I'm into real estate in Lagos. I'm not an agent o, I represent buyers in all parts of Lagos. Show me where in Ajah they sell a plot for 1.6M.

Is it Ado Road, Langbasa or Badore?
Even after Ajah to Eleko, you won't see legit plot for 1.6M that you're claiming to have a plot for 400K.

Besides sef, anybody building quarter plot has no business building a house. Do you know that even if your land has a C of O, anything less than 300sqm, the person can't get Governor's Consent in Lagos? That's why their applications spend donkey years in Alausa.

Nopanties:
Where is your brain nah. He said it's an avoidable luxury .

You're more dumb than that clown.
I said he shouldn't generalise and you're jumping in to type nonsense.

For you and that poster, a car may be an avoidable luxury but for many others, what you deem a luxury can improve your earnings and make you live better and earn more.

I no know whether them use sufferhead swear for una.

tee4naija:
He is right. My current rent is just about one third of my monthly pay. I live and work in a place about an hour drive from my home town. I have built 2 decent houses in my home town.
If you don't want to live in perpetual misery, ensure your rent do not exceed your 2 month salary for whatever reason. Rents and other expenses increase faster than salaries. Always think of when you have responsibilities even when you are still single.

However, the fact that you have your own house does not mean you should stop paying rent. I want to live in my own house is the reason why some people live in abject poverty.
Consider the cost and ease of transport to your place of work. Consider availability of basic amenities around your house. Some people live in their own houses and yet spend more on transport to work than they spend on rent . This is an unwise decision.

You are one of the very few sensible posters on this thread.

In Lagos, those living in Mowe Ibafo, Iyana Ipaja, Sango are the most frustrated, combative fellows you see at bus stops. The environment has affected them psychologically and has worn them out.

Most of them own the houses they live in but take a look at them and you'll shake head for them.

fireback:
100k rent swamp??. Pls is alen avenue at ikeja lagos a swamp? Cos I have a friend who lives there and he's paying 80k/yr for a room selfcon.

Ask your friend to tell you the truth.

A room self con in Allen - Opebi stretch usually goes for 250k.

fireback:
Yes its easy for me because I made it easy for myself by cutting my coat according to my size.
.
For your second question- any civil servant who earn 80k per month and save up to 400k per year can buy a land in the city. Don't forget I couldn't get up to a plot as at that time, so I went a qauter plot. In situation where you cannot get land at dat price, all you need do is look for cheaper land in other area close to your office where you will not spend so much on transport. After all with your 200k per year rent, you will still pay transport.

Which city? Benin city or Kaduna city?

When you come to Lagos, drop all these theories at Berger before you enter Lagos.

Those who followed advice like this built in slums surrounding the city. For them to get to work is a problem. To go back home is war.

TheFacelessMan:
Long time chief. Too many 2020 bans for my twin brothers.

My Chairman, happy weekend.

Heavy bans for me too. They just released this one. For the better part of last week, I was banned.

GBOKASINCHA:
does that change the fact that you Afonjas both male and female always bleach to look like igbos?whats wrong in being dark skin?? you want to be fresh like igbos? in the end you end up looking like a dead body just look at that your kabiyesi and his wives in ibadan....you can never look like us... mun fi ka walahi

To look like who?
Yamiri lasan lasan?

Lmaooooo

Please, any hope for those under bondage in Abia State?

SkinnyNigga:
look at his bleached face.. papa dey bleach. son dey bleach.. Yoruba people, must you guys bleach?

Your father with his face like the buttocks of a baboon, what have you done to make him proud?

All he's waiting for is your hairy yam legged sisters to get ripe before selling them off in the name of marriage.

Bluehill1051:
LOL. I swear it's either u no sabi read or u no sabi maths

You are actually very ignorant.

My post was in response to your statement that a car is a liability. For you, car may be a liability cos of mentality but don't force it on others.

Instead of you to use your brain to think of how to increase and expand your income so as to be able to afford a car, you're sitting in one corner shouting that a car is a liability.

Bluehill1051:
No. Car is a VEEEEEEEERRRRRRYYYYY BIG avoidable LIABILITY. U don't know that maintaining a car can cost up to 20k monthly. Fuel nko, officers wahala nko. Except he'll use it for Uber. Except that, car is a big liability. U won't save anything, it's purely luxury.
That 200K is fair. Don't go n follow advice from people that their best food is beans and corn

Poverty mentality.

I bought my first car earning 70k and made the money back in 3 months. With a car, I move more, achieve more and bill clients more.

Not everyone is cut out for suffer head.

OgogoroFreak:
People actually tithe for real?

Don't mind the idiot.

He wrote tithe and booze in the same sentence. Most of them are clowns.

emptor:
[b][/b]you guys should stop this thing.we are all Nigerians and should always have that in mind

Tell that to the Togolese who specifically dragged Igbos out of their shops and beat them.

Tell those from Cameroun and Equatorial Guinea who routinely deal with Igbos.

[s]

tactius:
As usual on this thread, a story about countrfeting is used to bash a whole tribe.

Keep it in mind that Hausas, Yorubas, Ijaws, etc ALL have people who DO the same crime. Counterfeting is not a one tribe crime.

Keep tribalism off Nairaland.

[/s]
Would Igbos tolerate an Hausa man in Onitsha paying a spare parts dealer with fake notes and calling his fellow Hausas to beat the Igbo trader?

would Igbos tolerate a Yoruba man in Aba paying an Igbo electronics dealer with fake notes and calling his fellow Yorubas to beat the Igbo trader?

The interior of this car is the worst interior of a corolla I've ever seen. Can't you just use your hand and dust the carpet on the floor let the sand go out?

Is that urine or vomit on the seat?

If you use 5k to wash that car thoroughly, you'll sell it better than you'll sell it in this state.

MrGerald:
Dhut up, they're Nigerians and not Ijudt gbos, tribal bigot, of all the barbaric crimes you pple are coming as regards to skull mining Igbos are your problem, many other tribes too commits crimes in the East just because they don't follow them harshly.

Keep deceiving yourself.

Go and look at the video of the Togolese beating traders in the market. All those beaten were Nigerians and the report stated that they specifically targeted Igbos.

In India today, their policemen tell Igbos apart from other Nigerians and once they profile you as Igbo, you automatically become a suspect.

In Asia, those being executed in Asian countries are all Igbos.

In China, the former Eze Ndigbo China died in shady circumstances but it was reported to be as a result of narcotics. Presently, hundreds of Igbos are in Chinese prisons.

In South Africa, go and check the Nigerians being killed. Most of them are Igbos and it is as a result of narcotics trade by igbos in SA.

In Cameroun and Equatorial Guinea just recently, Igbo traders were targeted.

You can keep hiding behind one finger but the truth is that Igbos outside Nigeria are being marked as societal negatives and it is causing a wave of Igbophobia which would limit the travel benefits of Igbos in the next decade..

Honestly, Igbos need to be very very careful. The wickedness and crimes condoned in Igboland should not be done outside and people are waking up to respond with violence.

Before, it was execution in Asian prisons, then killings in South Africa, then Ghana. Just 2 days ago, Igbos in a market in Togo were dragging Igbo traders out and beating them up. Reprisals and punishments are shifting from Asia to Southern Africa and is now in West Africa.

People generally are getting fed up of these things and you can deny it but it is because of Igbos that Iyalojas and Babalojas were put in Lagos markets.

If Igbos keep behaving this way to their hosts wherever they find themselves, the liberties enjoyed by igbos outside Igboland today, they won't enjoy it in the next 10 years.

For those who would quote me and talk nonsense, would Igbos tolerate an Hausa man in Onitsha paying a spare parts dealer with fake notes and calling his fellow Hausas to beat the Igbo trader?

What you guys can't take, don't dish it o!

Megatrix:
He should channel his energy to improving his English

Lost cause.

His grammar has no hope.

goaldynboy:
So if he doesn't apply, what will you do?!

Paid miscreants! See the kind of group Amaechi is wasting money on?!

Apologise, not apply.

You are vexing and foaming at the mouth on a topic you don't even understand.

odomanis:
How does it concern you ?

Go and ask the group of drunkards called Ohaneze, kneeling down and begging Asari.

Odingo1:
Funny thing is that people like this one are poor, they celebrate mediocrity.

Not everyone suffers from what is plaguing you.
Poverty and deprivation has so affected you that you think everyone is plagued with what is worrying you.

ZombiePUNISHER:
That physic ain't healthy...

But don't be like Buhari...

Buhari is a failure

Physic ko, phensic ni.

Instead of you to go to school and get yourself educated, you're constituting a nuisance online.

happybee:
How do we verify this?

Go to the morgue for sightseeing

Igbodicool:
Ikwerre clan l don't blame you guys, l blame our Igbo forefathers that gave you people land after migrating from Bini kingdom.
Bunch of confused clones who could not remember that language after migration.
Agbụrụ ụsụ.

If Igbos gave ikwerres land, why did Ikwerres seize Igbo properties during the war?

Doesn't common sense tell you that if indeed anyone gave another land, it should be the Ikwerres that gave Igbos land?

Destroyerofyeeb:
Lmao, the slaves being summoned to apologize to their master.

They weren't summoned, they were dragged by the scrotum like deceased goats to come and apologise.

Ikewere youths are even kind. Asari slapped their fathers continuously before ran to start begging.

GBOKASINCHA:
Afonjas come and masurbate

What happened?
Your Mom's nudes got leaked?

Juliusmalema:
Apology on what ground?

On the ground that Obi was foolish and shouldn't be talking to his masters how he did.

The other day when Asari threatened to teach you guys a bitter lesson, did the Ohaneze ask before they started rolling on the floor begging Asari?

mightyhaze:
Amaechi is not even regarded in ikwerre land

Asari that slapped your daddy and the entire Ohaneze apologised to Asari is also not recognised in Ijaw land abi?
