I saw that he was sued a few weeks ago on X I don't know if he's settled with them or na cruise

[color=royalblue]His lawyers replied oh

Settled ke?

Infact, they will retract whatever they served him

His lawyers maintained that their post was dubious, because they offered a discount that wasn't there in the first place

They also said they have reported them to EFCC for transacting in dollars, and they listed the Section blah blah blah that they violated.

Concerning this. I.was going to the Mobil station I usually buy fuel in my area (opposite Christland Idimu), and I saw that the Mobil has turned to MRS. Lol. I asked the girl that sold fuel to me when this happened, and she said on Sunday.

Dangote and his cousin really mean business.

[color=royalblue]They are now franchising

Meaning, the pump can still be cheating people, but people will run into it because it's MRS.

Since the MRS wave started, some useless stations have changed to MRS.[/color]

Well maybe it's a bubble, even cost of renting apartments isn't smiling.

[color=royalblue]I understand that there are definitely going to be properties that are pricey

But the truth is everyone is joining the trend.

He showed a 2 bedroom going for 2 million per annum in Iyana Ipaja. An old house with no single renovation. That's how this greed is spreading like Covid[/color]

sod09:
Transformer is around 7-9m

[color=royalblue]If there are 50 properties in the Estate, it's 180k per house

If there are 100 properties, it's 90k per house

So what exactly is so huge in providing a transformer that will warrant a house having extra millions on it as the cost?[/color]

Theflint1:
Yea, nobody if forcing them to buy...house cheap for Shaga and Ipaja but dem wan stay Lekki so dem gats pay Lekki price

There was some realtor who did a video analyzing the expenses that developers in Nigeria have to deal with that developers in other countries have no business with...things like getting transformers, constructing roads and drainage, electric poles, and others...all of this gets added to the cost of land and eventually price of properties.

There was even a post by Jarus where he said the cost of constructing a property in Lagos, Abuja and Kwara, is pretty much same, but it's the cost of land that's the big difference.

[color=royalblue]A very flimsy defence, in my opinion.

How much is transformer and Pole? Something wey my mama street for Badagry dey contribute buy?

All these ones na Lamba.

And if you say the main Koko is the cost of the land, Scott is asking what gave it that value?[/color]

sod09:
Sujimoto? The one they claimed is broke and can't pay his staff since last year

[color=royalblue] That's what he dragged him for.

I don't know his business model, but for someone who is into developing properties, why have a bloated list of staff?

E get Lebanese cook
E get drivers
E get chefs [/color]

raumdeuter:
I like his content too and I think he onto something
I hope the real estate clique don't "shut him up" him

[color=royalblue]The guy don even poke Sujimoto.

Make him just stay safe sha.[/color]

sod09:
Yes I have seen his videos
I don't think it concern the government, I agree on the overpricing but we need to know no one is forcing them to buy.
I only think government should find ways to tax them certain percentage on every property they sell maybe that will make them regulate it

[color=royalblue]It has to concern the government, especially when people are listing in dollars.

In his defence, these outrageous prices is putting pressure on the economy, which is true.

Two years ago, we were looking for an Office space in Lekki. The Agent gave us 400sqm at 120,000 naira per Sqm

That's 48,000,000 on rent, yearly

If I am paying 48,000,000 only for rent, what do you think the cost of my goods will look like?

Yes, you can say it's Lekki, but the madness is now on the mainland. [/color]

[color=royalblue] There's this guy on IG...Scott Iguma

The guy dey expose the overpricing in the Real Estate sector. His comparisons are fun to watch and I hope that the government truly looks into that industry.

The Greed and Overpricing there is too much[/color]

Theflint1:
These are the issues...I hope Tinubu doesn't go through with it, or maybe the local energy sector is starting to feel the heat of people going off-grid.

[color=royalblue]Just as how Buhari went to ban the importation of rice.

Yet, the local production cannot feed any state, price was almost the same, and you had to battle with the fact that they haven't been polished very well.[/color]

Theflint1:
It's market capture, some idiot somewhere has seen that the solar industry is booming, and instead of looking for how to compete with others, he's trying to use his pull with the FG to corner to entire market to himself...and probably won't be doing any local production sef.

[color=royalblue]The thing shock me.

One industry that others should emulate is the wire and cable industry.

The Nigerian local producers didn't have to force anyone to stop importation. They simply improved on the quality of the cables and the pricing.

Today, Nigerian cables are preferred to anything China in the market.

The market is not familiar with any local panel yet, you wan stop importation. Ohh [/color]

[color=royalblue] Gloriousgbola

Have you come across any Nigerian made solar panel? What's the review like?

I understand we have a lot of fakes, but stopping the importation of panels for something we have never tried before in terms of cost and quality, sounds funny to me.[/color]

BlueRayDick:
Which one be entrenched stooge and more entrenched stooge ?

Asue would've been a stooge just as Okpheobolo and Sanwoolu are stooges jare. In fact, if we go by the kind levels wey Obaseki pull as a sitting governor where he dealt with House of Assembly members(which Fubara failed at), Obaseki would've been a very high handed godfather that can only be rivalled by Tinubu of Lagos.

airmark:
You saw differently. They didn't scold Oby because the Senator had already done the needful and not because he interjected and called Oby and his team, unserious as you claimed.

The Senator should have asked the chairman to ask for apology for the foul language used on him. Trust me, the chairman would have asked Oby to apologize despite the senator interjecting.

[color=royalblue]I didn't claim oh. I said "Maybe"

That was an organised session, and I would like to believe that if the Senator had interjected, and Oby didn't say anything, they would have cautioned him. True or False?

I am not defending her insults. I don't even see why I should insult an adult.

The only reason I engaged you was you tried to paint some form of innocence on the Senator. He insulted her. Even when Oby kept quiet, he refused to stop.

If people say woman too talk, that Senator was the "Woman" in the room.

Abeg, I am not defending her at all.[/color]

BlueRayDick:


Make I just talk this thing once and for all, Na once man dey die!

All these back and forth ehn, it could've been saved if u had just said this during the Edo governorship election " ....that you were wrong in 2023 when u said anything PDAPC was bad and that only a Labour Party candidate in different state and House of Assembly elections can save the country "

If u had said the above, most people would've allowed u support Asue in peace; at most they will call u hypocrite for changing ur stand within one year, but then that's where it ends.

Have u ever wondered that the same way u feel about Asue being the man for the job in Edo despite supporting Obi for president is the same way people who supported Obi for president and Sanwoolu's re-election also felt ?

[color=royalblue]Amigoss said it is LPAPC

This thread na comic relief [/color]

airmark:
I don't think so. The Senator had already given it back to Oby in multiple proportions. All square.

[color=royalblue]So, at least, you now see what I saw, right?

I thank the Lord for that.[/color]

sod09:
That's what I am saying
Stupid antics, they were already frustrating them by stopping them from talking.
By your explanation he was brought in to cause chaos which he did perfectly well, no one remember what the argument was about but the talk in town is she told him to shut up not once but twice.

[color=royalblue]The way the whole thing was online, you'll think she told him to "Shut up" unprovoked.[/color]

[color=royalblue]Where is Chimaraoke Nnamani?[/color]

Theflint1:
Less about the assessment and more about the hypocrisy on display.

[color=royalblue] Everybody na hypocrite nau

[quote author=Theflint1 post=134714918]Soyinka by himself said he'd access the government after one year, same him now says it's not compulsory he accesses the government after one year, or at all for that matter, that we all have a responsibility to do so individually.

Humans are wonderful creatures.

‘Stop Working On My Timetable’, Soyinka Speaks On Promise To Assess Tinubu After One Year pic.twitter.com/ZcvwkCtZKF

— Channels Television (@channelstv) March 25, 2025

we wan use Soyinka assessment do?

What if he says Tinubu has performed excellently well? Would that assessment be very okay for us?

We place so much emphasis on this man, and disturb him a lot.[/color]

sod09:
Exactly these politicians are assholes that play stupid antics just to disgust you and once you let your emotions betray you they will ride on it

[color=royalblue]So, maybe I'm wrong, but this was what led to the whole thing

Oby and her team were being interviewed by the committee (The Senator was not part of them. He was for Akpabio's defense)

The Committee said Oby and her team cannot speak yet (They were trying to explain why)

Oby and her team too were trying to give the Committee reasons why they need to. All these was without arguments

Senator interjected and said "Since these people are not serious....."

That's when Oby told him to shut up.

Maybe I am wrong, but that was what I have understood from the whole thing.

And maybe that is why the Committee didn't reprimand Oby, because no one asked him to speak, talk more of calling them "Unserious"[/color]

airmark:
If truly as narrated on Channels by the Senator that Oby first asked him to shut up twice, and called him hooligan before he started ranting then Oby should take the bigger blame. I only blame him for not asking the Chairman to ask Oby to apologize for starting the encounter with the foul language used.

Oby is reckless with words.

[color=royalblue]I am not really interested in their issues.

They can stab themselves in that Senate for all I care.

But also, a man should be a man... Everyone should know when to stop.

At some point, they had to switch off his mic, yet he kept on insulting.[/color]

Theflint1:
Whoever was closest to popping an artery.

[color=royalblue]At some point, I was expecting him to stand up and hit her with the way he was puffing.[/color]

airmark:
You saw what you wanted to see.

So, who should take the bigger blame?

[color=royalblue]I sincerely don't know who to blame, because I didn't see the video from the start.

And it's very possible Oby insulted him. I can't say

But what is funny is you saying he was shouting. No, that's not true. He insulted her

He said "You're a fool" up to 5 times
He said "You're an insult to womanhood" twice.

Even the Senate that you're asking him to complain to, was begging him to stop. He refused.

I don't have any dog in Natasha vs Akpabio issues, but that Senator did insult her well.[/color]

airmark:
But why would Ezekwesili ask a sitting senator to shut up and even called him, hooligan, in the senate chamber?

The Senator should have asked the committee chairman to ask Oby to apologize, rather than shouting on her.

[color=royalblue] Don't sugarcoat it sir.

He insulted her well well. Infact, everyone was begging him to stop, and he kept going on.

He wasn't shouting at her. He was insulting her.[/color]

https://www.nairaland.com/8380257/breaking-cant-abandon-tinubu-asari

[color=royalblue]I was watching a reel where Farotimi was talking about this issue.

He advised every Nigerian to stay away from the whole thing. These people do not have your interest at heart. The fight is not about the common man, but about their control for resources and wealth.

Those who thought the militants will spring up, can clearly see one doing a swift U-turn like a Dangote trailer at Effurun roundabout.

Who is gassing this bro....This na like when ijaws dey promise Gej presidency telling him no to mind northerners

[color=royalblue]I have this feeling that the Supreme Court will remove this guy, and that's why he's doing everything and anything to lick Tinubu's nyash everywhere

What is his business with the road? That's an FG road, from Benin Bye pass to Asaba. It is not as if they are building something new or different. An existing road that is bad oh, e don begin promise heaven and earth
