Properties / Why I'm Stopping The Free Property Search For Nairalanders! Life Lessons Learned by lawyer(m): 12:57am On Mar 21, 2010
I think my orientation about helping Nairalanders should change because i think there is a limit to helping people and being used and dumped without even saying a simple thank you. Anyway, all that is gone and i have learnt that the more you are honest with people, the more they take you for granted. The more you look and act fraudulent, the more your respected and accepted.

I know i said i would help people to do things free and i have been doing it freely but i have realised nothing in life is free. Doing property search is one of the most difficult jobs in Lagos and i bet 3/4 of Nairalanders cannot do that job. Running from pillar to post trying to check out the validity of a property so that the Nairalander will not be scammed by omoniles and the same Nairalander would sit down comfortably in his or her office dishing orders via emails and phone calls and at the end of the day disappear without any form of appreciation or minor commendation. Some will so use you to bleed you dry trying to garner information that they have searched far and wide to get and when they get it so easy from me, i become a toe-rag to them.

There are the ones that will tell me to help them find good lands with good documents and after scouting the whole Lagos looking for a good land for them, burning Fuel in serious traffic, meeting countless agents and omoniles, investigating and tripple checking the property, the Nairalander will just disappear and leave me hanging at the mercy of the omonile's so that when somebody that really wants the property comes, they will pour out the frustration on that person by doubling the price and turning me to an outcast all because i wanted to help someone Abroad to get a Good land. Honesty really sucks!!!   undecided

There are those that prefer straight out lies for them to be convinced. You tell them that a property is under Government acquisition, they get angry that they can't get it and stop contact with you because the Agent or Omonile will tell them that i am too "academic" in my approach or too formal and that other lawyers don't go through all these checks and balances before they buy properties and that they should do away with me instantly.

Well the good news is that other lawyers dont need to be as academic as me because its from that land problem that other lawyers will see their daily bread through the forth coming land case in court about that same land and people like me  who try to prevent land cases are the enemy of progress.

In short, i understand the way things work now. Its is a Nigerian thing to accept mediocrity and fraud as the way of life for survival. I have tried to toe the path of honour and truth to show that not all Nigerians are bad, fraudulent and some can geninuely help people but i have been soundly defeated by my ideologies. It just won't work! Things need to be treated as a business before it is being appreciated. Information need to be hoarded before it is respected. Things have to be done in secrecy and lies before it is accepted and hypocrisy is the other of the day.


[b]I know of a man today that i have been helping him search for a land for free for almost 4 months. I have searched over 20 plots in Lekki that i have not recommended for him to buy that were either under government acquistion or is in serious dispute. Finally i saw one that i believed he should have, although it had some quirks, after consulting with Alausa, it was found that it could be sorted out for him. This man now wanted to push me to do something unproffessional to draft agreements when i havent done my other search to meet the families or draft an agreement that they will sign without knowing the contents of what they signed because he wants to pay for the land immediately. No amount of money will push me to do something that will be unproffessional and unethical and before you knew it, after all these things i have done for him freely, he decided to put me aside and hire another attorney to do his unethical wishes.

I really hope he has paid for that land because today i did further search on that land and i found out the reason why the original omonile families have been dodging me to meet with them and produce their documents. That whole area is under a serious court battle and community battle and 10s of people have sold and resold that same portion of land over and over again. Fences have been put and destroyed over and over again. Beacons have been put and removed over and over again. Millions have been lost over and over again.  Naturally i should tell him my search report freely so that he can cancel the transaction and save his millions but i won't. I have learnt the way it works  from today. Information freely got is not appreciated. When he loses his money and he spends another couple of thousands running from pillar to police stations without seeing any head or tail and he spends another extra thousands for court case which he wont likely win, then he will remember that all this would have been solved for just a very little token and  small words of appreciation and that professionalism cannot be quantified and compromised[/b].

There are still people on Nairaland that i can do anything for free anytime and anyday because they have earned it and all they need to do is disturb me anytime 24/7 and i will carry their problems on my head as if it was mine. They have been kind to me and its a must i must be kind to them and their children's children and for that i will forever be grateful to them and see them as my eternal friends. They are the ones that still make me believe that something Good can still come out of Nigerians but they have thought me to sleep with one eyes open from now on and i would unless i would be reduced to a doormat!

So please forgive me if i am not as forth coming as before to do things freely. I have learnt the hard way and pauperized myself trying to be saint in the midst of non-saints. I wont change my professional way of doing things to search both heaven and earth before i endorse a property as a good one but i wont be a used towel anymore. I dont think i have cheated any body on Nairaland and i i would not allow people to cheat me and confuse my kindness for them with Stupidity.

If you dont like it, leave your office, remove your shoes and change to slippers or trainers or forest boots, enter different locations searching for a land in Badagry, Ikorodu or Lekki/Ajah under the Hot scorching sun or freezing rain, go to the land registry of the high court to confirm whether the land is free from litigation, cross over to the surveyor general's office to confirm if the property is free from acquistion, Go to the land bureau in Alausa to confirm the papers, Go back to the Omonile to know who is actually lying and who the real seller is, confront dodgy Agents that will show you more dubious lands, rush back to your office and after you have done all that this week, you find out that there is a problem with the land and you fall very sick from all the Waka Waka, Next week, you do the whole process all over again and again and again for 8 weeks in a row until you give up and decide to call me to take it over from you! And before you call me, please value how much it will cost you personally to do the running around for 4 weeks in a row going through this nightmare, so that next time you will appreciate what i do that you take for granted.


Have a blessed week!  smiley

Properties / Re: In Defence Of Real Estate Agents by lawyer(m): 12:19am On Mar 15, 2010
I find it funny that someone is ready to shell out over N1Million to buy a land or property and finds it so so difficult to pay a small token to make sure your buying your money's worth through a valid search? It baffles the hell out of me. I also find it difficult to understand that you want to buy a land or property over N1Million but you find it difficult to induce the agent with small cash for his transportation and phone calls to help you find the best property for you?

For those that feel like criticizing, please do because we live in a free world but for once put your self in the shoes of the Agents and see if you would be happy if you were treated like so. A good property is only as good as the agent and lawyer that is happy to help you purchase it. Most properties that are fraught with problems is because the Client feels he or she is smart enough to scheme or out wit the buyer's agents. You might have won today but it will definately come and bite you back in future.

Finally Big Ups to You Mr Ekwe****(a Nairalander Full name withheld)! You also give me confidence to do good things for people. This Man has been searching for a good land to buy for almost 3 months. We have searched almost 20 Places in Lekki/Ajah that were either under government acquisition, had court issues or the omoniles wanted to cheat him and each time i advised him not to buy, he would patiently wait till the next week we had the chance to scout around for other lands until Yesterday when i finally gave him the pass mark! You are an Inspiration  because you listened and i promise you that even if the wahala comes from Heaven tomorrow and one General Abacha rises up to claim that land, i will stand gidi-gba for you! You deserve your joys now!  cheesy 

Arguments and queries welcome from both agents and Clients to share experiences. The aim of all this to to find a better working condition to help all parties. Because at this rate i am almost compelled to believe the Agents are the Victims except there are compelling arguments to show its not!

Cheers

2. I also followed another Agent called Ngozi here on Nairaland to watch proceedings from the sidelines and hers was also quite astonishing:

A client from Abroad called her that he needed a property for sale in Oregun and sent Ngozi to procure the property for him. He also called me to monitor it for him and i should go with Ngozi to make sure she gets the right one. As usual, The client is never satisfied and Ngozi for 3 weeks kept on scouting for houses for this man to buy, calling him, using her money to move to and fro hoping that if she finally gets it right, her efforts will be rewarded. Finally when she got what the man wanted, what happened next? The Client stopped communicating with her, went behind her back because Ngozi gave him the address and phone numbers of the owner, and sealed the deal directly with the landlord and left her hanging dry undecided.

The Chick was in tears when she related what happened and vowed not to be this open with Clients and do everything to Milk them dry because she had been used thoroughly especially when she decided to do it in a professional way to assist a client.

3. Well another thing i have noticed is that Clients delibrately want to to lied to. In fact for you to be successful with Clients you need to lie to them continously for them to believe you. Take for example a situation where a Client abroad sent me all the way to Ogun state to do a search for him. After doing the preliminary investigations i found the documents where forged and the land to be questionable and after relating all these to him, the seller was able to convince him that i was the one trying to make sure the deal won't go through and he sent another person to reconfirm and in collusion with the seller, the new person was able to recommend that land to the Client to buy so that the sale will go through and he will get his commission and zap from the scene. Since then, i stopped doing any search concerning Mowe/ ofada or anything Ogun State because it was so heart shattering, driving all the way down there for nothing with the aim of helping someone out and instead i got eggs thrown back on my face.
Properties / In Defence Of Real Estate Agents by lawyer(m): 12:12am On Mar 15, 2010
There is this Proverb which goes thus: Why buy the Cow when the Milk is Free! Well i am now Advocating that the Milk should no longer be Free!

I know i have been at the Fore Front of trying to make Real Estate Agents both on Nairaland and those Operating in the real World especially in Lagos and Ogun State to Curb sharp Practices and try to be responsive and attentive to their clients. In short Good name is better than Gold!

But in recent times, after listening to the complaints of Estate Agents and the likes against Clients, i personally ventured out to understand where those complains are emanating from and why Estate Agents have decided to become callous to Clients and one truely cannot blame them in most circumstances because the Client actually sets him or herself up to get hoodwinked and there are various instances i have noted and supplemented with true life stories which also includes me personally at the recieving end.

1. I followed a particluar Agent on Nairaland for the whole day to study his day with Clients and what i saw and heard made me feel so sorry for him and  it wasnt too hard to understand his frustration. For example, there was a Nairalander who he claims called him from abroad in respect of one land he advertised in Lekki. The Nairalander came with his friend to help him scout out the place with the Agent to see if it was alright and before you knew it, the Friend was complaining left right and centre about everything from the location to the price and what have you. The Agent offered to show him other places to compensate and i saw the agent spend his money calling other Agents and sorting out transportation to and fro to show this guy 4 different places all the way from Sango tedo down to Ibeju Lekki and you can imagine the distance. After wards the Friend said he will be in touch and till date, the Client neither had the decency to call the Agent that he or she was no longer interested. The Agent complained bitterly that this is what he goes through with about 75% of Clients and he spends his money to show them around and they neither compensate or want to assist them in the search and will be quick to condemn. He said it was even because i was around that he decided to show the person only properties with good title unless i would get angry and after doing his best to sort all these things for him, what was the result And how much he had lost financially no matter how little and next time, he wouldnt be so open to the next Client to show them properties with good title because it will still be the same way he will be treated, so instead of having the client's interest at heart, he will have to focus on his own survival because the Client doesnt care about him.

@hotep

I have sent you a private message explaining the intricacies why it is being delayed! Its just sheer bureaucracy from the CAC wasting time to produce the certificate and nothing more. Your job from me has been done in record time but nobody can do anything else until the CAC produces the certificate and how they waste people's time is left for only God to judge them!

Like i said, the moment it is out, you will be alerted. At this stage its to excercise patience because getting angry because of the delay won't solve anything and won't disturb any of those bureaucrats except i continue to pile pressure on them to deliever it up!

Properties / Am I Being Old Fashioned Or Being Too Judgemental? by lawyer(m): 8:51pm On Mar 07, 2010
A friend of Mine just told me that he rented an Apartment for N1.8Million per annum x 2 Years which is N3.6Million and he paid agency and legal fees of N360,000 Which brings about the rented apartment fees to N4.2Million and i advised him before that to at least remove a Million or 2Million to get a land anywhere to start building and get a cheaper place to rent since he is just a batchelor and he should at least have a Plan B, but he just shrugged if off and said the Future will take care of itself. I know he just came in contact with some money after his business yielded fruits and he invested most of it on the apartment.

I know the future will definately take care of itself but i also know that the landlord will increase the rent after the expiration of the term of the tenancy, and spending that kind of sum without a back up Plan is quite risky. I know there are some people too that will disagree with my stance and say i am in no position to advise him to have a plan B to buy a land. I have also been a victim of cruel landlords and the proposed future can have set backs that could lead to humbling experiences. Maybe its the property lawyer in me talking or maybe i am being disconnected with reality that some people dont have time for land matters as long as the rent is being paid and shelter is being provided no matter the circumstances! Should he have used the money differently or what?

I will like to hear your views!

Nimshi:

Er, Lawyer, how're you sure the sandfilling is fool-proof?

Has the sand-fill quality been evaluated by a professional?

Just checking; the piece is coming in at about N17K/sq.m. . . .

.

Yes Nimshi. The sand filling was done by a professional and quite a lot of money was spent to make sure it was done in a proper way for construction. Dynamite did it to build personally and dynamite will not sand fill a property that will end up being a hap hazrd job!

Properties / Re: Lawyer; Pls Can You Advice Me On A Land With Clause by lawyer(m): 12:35am On Mar 04, 2010
who drafted the deed of assignment and where is the property located? Naturally even a property with a c/o gives the purchaser 2 years to develop or it will be revoked. If it is a rural community that needs development there badly, they can frustrate your efforts there by selling the property at your back or making life impossible for you in that community if you dont develop quickly, but there is no law that grants the sellers the right to revoke a transaction that has occured except in cases of fraud or misrepresentation. Only the Governor can revoke lands and not the seller!

But if they want to refund your money, well that could be an option that is convienient for both parties but under the law they have no right to revoke your land transaction or abi you don sign the deed of assignment tie your self inside such a nonsense clause?

Better get your lawyer to look at the documents you sign before you mortgage your property to the community back!

Are you telling me that, I cannot educate my fellow Nigerians on topics which they need information on.

Mortgage is a new concept in Nigeria. It is my area of specialism.

I don't understand WHY you and lawyer are not allowing Nigerians to see my posts.

They are not offensive, abusive or of pornographic nature!

It is rather "double standards" that, lawyer came to Nairaland and EDUCATED us on property law and I cannot do the same.

Lawyer & Ajileko moderate and don't DOMINATE.

Since when do u have to apply to post on Nairaland.

I am not new to Nairaland. My second username is "Abujabooks". I know d rules.

Where is Seun?

In case, I got the wrong end of d stick, explain yourself in plain english.

I think this is a very unfair accusation as i am just seeing this post for the first time. Nobody deletes or prevents anyone from posting anything. There is anti spam software that randomly picks posts and posters to block whenever it feels like and when we moderators see the posts, we connect them to the admin to unban or release the post for public viewing.

I as the moderator has been affected so manytimes by this spam bot and nobody here knows that and i go about my duties quietly. If i knew about the blocked posts i would have taken action to sort it out.

One more thing, the land was very swampy and dynamite sand filled it thoroughly. 85% of the areas in thomas estate are swampy areas that have been sandfilled by all the owners there
Properties / Re: Thomas Est Cul-de-sac Land 4 Sale By Owner by lawyer(m): 8:58pm On Feb 28, 2010
There is a reason people dont specifically give out the exact area except on personal request confidentially due to our fraudulent manner of doing things in this country. I have seen it happen where people naively tell clients the exact address and before you know, all manner of people begin to advertise the same property at the back of the owner and that is why either dynamite or I wont tell you the specific area till you or your proxy want to see it personally and view the documents one on one. Sorry if i am being blunt but that is the way things are and operate in these parts.

I would advise dynamite to email you or call you personally which i think is much safer and more reputable in the long run for you to get all your requests attended to in a bespoke manner.

Wow So many Questions. Sorry i have been a bit busy. Handling most of the searches can be quite daunting and stressful but very soon, i will create time to answer all your questions.

Bottom line for most of these questions is to search, search and search until your satisfied. Dont let anyone bamboozle you into buying anything without you conducting your search.

Just this few weeks i posted this topic, i know how many people i have helped by stopping them from purchasing bad properties under acquistion and lands advertised as good lands but end up being problematic lands either physically on the site or through the survey plan.

Never Give up. There is no rest for the wicked especially the omoniles. They will continue to flaunt lands in your face as good lands until you bite the dust and regret your actions for good.

Be smart and wise when it comes to property issues!
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Censored Picture Of Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey's Leg Break Against Stoke City by lawyer(m): 1:03am On Feb 28, 2010


The tackle by Stoke City's Ryan Shawcross on Aaron Ramsey was so bad that it was reminiscent of Eduardo's Horrendous leg tackle 2 years ago.

It was really bad that Sky Sports refused to replay the incident and no Youtube Video is permitted to broadcast it. Just looking at it, you expect him to be out for a year plus.

Whether its an Arsenal Player or Manutd Player or Chelsea star, these acts should be condemned because it rubs the fans off the entertainment value of the sport and decreases the potential of any budding player. The fact that most of the players in the Arsenal and Stoke City camps were crying shows that this crosses boundaries of just supporting a particular club and wishing that player the worst.

I wish Ramsey soonest Recovery and hope we dont witness another premiership star go through this kind of thing before the end of the season.

Imagine if this was Rooney or Drogba! The powers that be in FIFA will go ballistic. Just look at his Bent Foot!!! undecided

Fantastic Topic that should benefit every land owner and future land owner. Please pay attention to all these gurus and people that have fenced recently because no matter how expensive you bought the land, it is always advisable to start fencing immediately or within a reasonable time frame to prevent thieves from grabbing your land.

Yes i can over vouch for this property 100%. Anything you need to know about this property should be channeled through me especially in relation to the documents.

These are the salient things i know about this property that makes it a super bargain;

1. Most of the lands in Thomas Estate are swampy but this land was recently sandfilled very very well at an enormous cost

2. It is very well fenced

3. The documents which normally give massive wahala in Thomas Estate in regards of the Olumegbon family signing that costs almost a Million Naira for ratification has been recently obtained.

When you do all the calculation for what has been done to perfect the document, the fencing and the sand filling and all in a very prestigious Estate in Lekki Ajah and you minus what the land should originally cost in Thomas Estate then you know it is more than a steal for what the price is being sold for smiley

Valuation for a land in Thomas Estate is over N10Million and that is without fencing, sand filling and ratifcation of the documents directly from the Olumegbon Himself which should set you aback alone almost N1million


So feel free to ask any question about it and chip in your bid.

I rarely endorse properties on Nairaland but since i know the genesis of this land and the millions sunk into it that is being offered for sale now for a give away price, I will definately give this land a major major endorsement especially for people looking for a land in a prestigious Estate in Lekki/Ajah

One more thing, No agency fee! grin

Miproperty i know your doing a good job by providing affordable accomodation for Nairalanders but one thing i dont like that you do is that you just write 3 bedroom apartment in Oshodi without naming the price of the apartment which is sometimes odd and frustrating for the viewer.

Please endeavour to always put the exact price the property is being rented for to aid viewers and to boost your own business too.

Cheers
Properties / Re: Buying Of Land Made Easy By Installment: A Blessing Or A Big Fraud? by lawyer(m): 11:06am On Feb 18, 2010
What a topic shocked.

I expect Fireworks to explode on this one before i give my final summation.

These are the kind of people that need to react to get a balanced View of it:

1. Those that intend to subscribe and pay instalmentally and are scared because they keep on hearing Horror stories


2. Those that have subscribed and are in fact totally upset with the whole system and regret doing it

3. Those that have expereinced it and can live to tell success stories about it and how it has benefitted them and won't hesitate to recommend it to others

4. Those that can assist to make the system work and those to weed that that are giving the system a bad name.

This topic is open for all because whether you are a subscriber or not, you know somebody that wants to subscribe or is subscribing presently or has subscribed and your input could assist so many people.

Cheers
Properties / Re: Alert Nairalanders! Kayode Gid Is A Fraudster! by lawyer(m): 11:54pm On Feb 17, 2010
I think its time to finally close this chapter on Mr Kayode Gid.

I have met him and spoken to him and this are his faults:

1. He is quite disorganized and he needs to be more organized

2. Being an agent means he has access to other properties that are not under his portfolio and when another agent tells him about the property i guess he fails to inspect it properly before taking a new client there and when questions are being bombarded left right and centre, he wont be able to defend the excesses of the other agent property and in his haste to make up for that gaff, he begins to call other agents to inquire if there are other properties he can get for the client on the spot and it gets quite frustrating and begins to impugn his character which i guess is also a major problem for 85% of all Lagos Agents, so he is not alone.

I have come out to scold Kayode publicly to show i know him too but what i wont tag him as is a scammer and fraudster which i think is pushing it to the extreme angry.

I purposely put this topic out in the open for people to give me a diverse view on him to see if i am wrong and from the reactions it only shows that clients are dissatisfied with his services and that is borderline DISORGANIZATION and not being a fraudster.

A Fraudster is one who takes your money and doesnt deliever or make amendments to earlier promises and those are the ones we have to weed off NL . I dont think Kayode Gid has gone that far for him to be tagged a fraudster. So what i will advice is for Mr Kayode to take all these criticisms as being constructive and to become a better agent and who knows he might end up being NLanders best Agent in 2010 grin

As to the complainants, i hope this adequately settles all the squabbles and keep on scolding Kayode thoroughly if he gets disorganized but please dont label someone a fraudster when he or she hasnt done such a thing to be compared in the league of Maddoff. It isnt very Polite and its a terrible way to assasinate a person's character unduly.

So Kayode Gid make it up to your clients and give them 110% next time they call you up for a Job!

Cheers smiley

@Mr Kayode:

Instead of you to diffuse these allegations springing up left right and centre, your busy posting this on another thread:

Talk about taking panadol on another person's headache. undecided

You have 24 hours more as one poster suggested for you to clear up these allegations and after that consider your self blacklisted. Nairalanders are complaining and you need to clear the air on this complaints.

To other agents, i hope this now shows that other Nlanders are watching and they have the power to either elevate you or destroy you. Good name is better than Gold and if you didnt understand the capacity of that idiom before , you should now do. Mr kayode is about to get his name rubbished and its only left to him to convince Nairalanders that it isnt so.

Caveat Emptor

Mr Kayode Gid, You have 24 hours to respond to this allegation unless it will be deemed True and Silence will constitute an acceptance of the charges and allegations brought forth and it will only lead to us weeding you out of NL.

@pystar can you elaborate further because i am not taking this lightly and if it is also found that you are engaging in a smear campaign, the punishment is also applicable to you.

I am getting to the bottom of this anyhow! angry Mr Kayode Gid, You have 24 hours to respond to this allegation unless it will be deemed True and Silence will constitute an acceptance of the charges and allegations brought forth and it will only lead to us weeding you out of NL.

Properties / Re: Check Out These Stuffs For Your Home by lawyer(m): 11:42pm On Feb 12, 2010
I will encourage this and bump it to the top. Even though it is a Property Forum filled with lands and Property, Accessories in a Home should also be given a look too. Whats the point of having the most expensive house built and its empty without anything pleasing to appreciate it apart from bricks and mortar!

Good work and more Nairalanders with home accessories should also step up too. You will also be encouraged ! smiley
