Today has been really annoying for me! Rushed all the way to the federal high court for a matter that should start at 9am. Imagine waking up around 4.30-5am to avoid the third mainland traffic and finally getting to court, you hear the judge is indisposed and the matter has been adjorned to next month!

Kai! The kin sleep wey de my eye now sha!

I cant even do anything normal again today except play of nairaland and facebook till i feel like going home. Its really depressing when you have your whole day planned out and you murder sleep only for you to come back to the office feeling sleepy! If i atempt to draft any contract or fill any CAC form now, walahai, the law suit that will follow me would not be compared to george bushes missiles!

Ha! Adam Brody! Your finally online, abeg help us solve this controversy going around on nairaland that i am you o!

Mukina just sent me a messgae that your online so i want to clear any controversy.

Ok now! Lets go there:

Adam brody, are you lawyer?

Have we met before to share girlfriends or dump anybody before

Amebo/ Pinkeyrose Mumu, i hope you are online now too o!

I think you need to change your topic headline or i will do it for you!

all those ppl against fashola's good works are general enemies of progress. Obviously its the oshodi evacutees and agberos that are complaining. They love the dirty, disorganized lawless lagos of tinubu and oyinlola's era now oyinbo black man don enter wey no get time for nonsense and petty politics!

damola1:
How does the post have to do with muslima or muslim or mother of all nations,

Dem say person dey bomb people, na so you begin turn am to beef

Classic Words on Marble!!!

Your post is very misleading! You state you have lands for sale starting at N300,000 but you post a N100 Million Naira House for sale!

Are you trying to decieve people or create unnecessary misleading attention?

It cost you nothing to state the true state of things and people who are interested will still buy it not the other way around!

Husband Material:


It may be different in Nigeria but one of the first things I look for is a man that is not still living in his mothers basement, unless he is saving up for a house.

A man with a job, good paying job, a job that pays more than or almost as much as mine.

I am comfortable with my job and i dont think i have to compete with my wife over money and who makes what or why or how, bottom lie, if i am broke she supports me and if my pay check or commission comes in on time, she can extend her shopping hours!

A man that pays his bills on time

Everyman one way or the other defaults in his bills whether health, light or parking ticket but we can both resolve it if it concerns both of us Even dangote is owing somebody!

A man with good credit.

I dont do credits or loan what soever. Never have , never will!

A man that is faithful

This statement is over rated. If you are looking for faithful, buy a dog!

A man that see the value in me

Vice versa. Its never a 2 way street! He or she who loves the most suffers the most! People only value the other partner when you have something to gain, either its money, sex, material stuff or something. Its never a 100% sure banker valuing system. Thats why partners quarrel everyday and most lead to divorces. Its a human nature thing.

A man that is romantic

Hmmm, dont confuse infatuation and puppy love with romantic. Men out grow those fairy tales after some time and its never like the movies

A man that loves, adores and treats his mom with the highest respect (the way he treats her says how he will treat me)

Once again a 2 way street reply. What if his mother was very abusive or a drunk or maltreated or abandoned him ? Must he love his mother despite all that? Being a biological parent is not a right to love your parents if you dont have any relationship with them.

A man that does the above to his sisters

Same answer for the above statement. Its a 2 way street!
A man that understands I am independent and also dependant

Well i vote 100% for this. Everybody loves their me time and independence without the constant chokes of being dependent on someone.

A man that understands I too have a voice and respects that voice.

Well it depends on if you know the difference between and Argument and a Disagreement. Most of the time, men interprete that voice to mean constant nagging and whinning and except you are intellectually sound up there and matured in responding to questions and issues surrounding you, he might respect that voice.

A man that stands behind his decisions and deals with whatever fall out there is behind them.

Yeah right! Once again we are human beings. The only constant thing in life is change. If a new outcome reveals its self, everyman is entitled to forgo that dogmatic believe and work towards something that suits his primary purpose. Man is a selfish being and he has to think of himself first before any other person or thing, and sticking to a decision could lead him to perdition and trust some women to castigate the man for being too sturborn when something disasterous occurs and he stands behind that decision no matter how unintelligent or daft the decision is.

A man that respects me ALWAYS

Respect begets Respect. Its not a command and its a priviledge. It is earned not a forceful right.

A man that would never dream of disrespecting me in my presence or behind my back.

No comment! If only women can say the same thing and not gossip ever about their husbands or men for 1 full month in respect of his apparent failures that given moment!

A man that can cook and clean

lol! I wish you can survey 100 men and ask this question to all of them. Your result would be astonishingly NOT SHOCKING!!!! I am thinking of how many men can pound yam for their wives and cook edi kin kong for their wives!

Well if you include indomie noodles as cooking then you are dead on correct!

Be back lata

Bottom line, this list is what you call a wish list! And we all wish pigs could fly!

Duplication of topic.

A thread has been created for this topic before:

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-224544.0.html

So this thread is now locked!

It takes approximately 3-6 months depending on if you have the money to complete it in time without hassles and you have your tax clearance and the tax clearance of the person who sold it to you.

Cheers!

Until Pope benedict dies, there wont be another pope to replace him and by then, Cardinal Arinze will be over 80 and unless you are 80 or below, you cannot be entitled to enter the conclave to select a new pope. So check your Facts right before you bring racial profiling into religion and world politics

Real Estate is a branch of biz i think you should explore especially with this stock exchange bust, real estate always appreciates but it is a Tricky bness and you have to be well advised and sharp in exploring that form of business. With N500,000 you can aquire properties and resell them at a later date but it has its own booby traps sha!

Register a company first and the rest will fall into place

Just came back from the corporate affairs commission to register some companies.

Damn that place is full of bureaucratic animals and the chicks working there should be shot! They take pleasure wasting your time and demanding for all sorts of nonsense things.

One even accused me of forging the signature of a prospective director so that she could verify it quickly. The tantrum i threw there should last them a week for such bloviates.

Its getting more stressful and streneous to do these things and i am seriously considering fashing the business. The money cannot be equated with the pressures and problems you get from these twits!

But how come no body wants to work for Unity Bank?

Criminal law is so retarded in this country! I really hate it and i rarely appear in court for those kind of cases!

I remember when i was serving during my NYSC in the oyo state ministry of justice, i had a case of prosecuting a travellingband of hausa guys that found their way to ibadan and used hyenas to rob people?

The facts of the case was that, these hausa men were circus folks who played drums and tunes and it made the monkeys and hyenas dance wheneverthey play the songs and a large crowd will gather to watch these animals dance but in between, mysteriously their wallets will disappear once they come to that plce o watch them play. They accused the Hausa men for robbery and pointed the hyenas as their major suspect for jazzing them to watch them dance and they willbe hypnotized while the hyenas steal their money during that brief trance.

It was such a silly, ridiculous and dense case and the oyo state government was so adamant in pursuing the case to serve as an example! I was wondering what i was going to ask the hyenas during cross examination.

That was it for me! I havent looked back then!

@lady

You must have missed the answer to this in the joke or did you not see that this was one of the questions by the professor. No where does God say he created evil, you'll have to show me seriously.

Well, your mistaken and i will show where it is written in the bible that God created Evil

Isaiah 45:7 , “I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.”

There you have it!

I am rushing to Mowe, Ofada and Sagamu now to go and battle those omoniles and agents who love to decieve unsuspecting property land purchasers to buy a land and pay 12 months instalmental payments, meanwhile, despite the whole adverts making the place look like heaven, the lands are filled with thick bushes, omonile and family wahala and not government approved and these agents just collect money and run.

I have their time today. I have traded my wig and gown for a rugged short knicker and construction boots.

Today today, na me and them go wear the same trouser and them must cough out all the illegal money dem don chop!

I hope say my matchet and oturu-kpo still de inside boot o!, lol

Cheers!

Ok this is a Minor TENANCY 101   For all tenants regarding the Issue of Repairs in a House and you should study it carefully to know Your RIGHTS and the Rights of the Landlord:

1. Never rent a House without a Tenancy Agreement unless its just a penny wise pound foolish behaviour on your own part.

2. In every Tenancy agreement, there are what they call COVENANTS. These Covenants are rules and regulations that have been agreed between the Tenant and Landlord on how the Tenancy should be run through out the Rent Period.

3. In most Tenancy Agreements, there are what they call COVENANT TO REPAIR. An agreement without this clause should be frowned upon by the tenant unless the law will deem that you have consented to repair everything in the house whether its your fault or not. Make sure you go through it thoroughly before you consent to it.

The purpose of this covenant is to ensure that the property is kept in good condition and to ensure that the value of the property does not depriciate. BOTH THE LANDLORD AND TENANT have their respective OBLIGATIONS to repair.

For the purpose of determining the obligation to repair, the parts of the building are classified under law to determine which parts a Landlord and a Tenant is obligated to repair.

A. STRUCTURAL PARTS: E.g Foundation, Roof, Drainages, Walls etc. In short anything that has to do with the structural parts of a building is under th obligation of the landlord to repair compulsorily.

B. COMMON PARTS: E.g Stair case, lifts etc (These are parts that deal with common places in the house that adjoins the property together for common Use)

C. INTERIOR: Door, Windows, Cupboards, Sinks etc (These deal with the interior of the house and its your duty to repair them because you use it for your own convience)   

So in short, the Landlord repairs the Common and Structural Parts while you the Tenant repairs the Interior parts.

Now if the Landlord has defaulted in repairing his own parts, the remedy open to you in law is to give notice of repair, demand for Specific performance to repair or when you move out seek for damages in respect of refund of the money spent. You must document all these for your claims to be valid.

Now to answer your question Dovent:

1. You didnt state how many years rent you paid whether it was one or 2 years rent. Even more so, if you have stayed 4 months and the landlord gives you a quit notice, a quit notice is only effective for a valid 6 months since i assumed the rent is paid for a year or 2, so therefore you are a yearly tenant. You are not expected to pack out of that house until the expiration of the 6 months quit notice no matter how he threatens you. If you have only spent 4months, the Landlord is entitled to refund your balance of the remaining year since he knowingly breached the agreement for you to spend the whole one year or 2 years to enjoy quiet enjoyment in that place.

So dont be afraid the law is adequately behind you there.

Also in respect of the repairs, as you must have read above, the landlord is to repair the plumbling since it is part of the structural parts of the house except you delibrately busted a pipe due to your own negligence while in use for your own enjoyment. If it was bad before you entered the House, it is the landlords duty to repair it.

In respect of the door handles, it is you that should repair it if it spoils because you might want to upgrade it to a better form of security for your own convience but as per the door itself, the landlord should repair it if it was bad before you moved in. Also in relation to the Kitchen sink, it is you that should repair it since you used it for your own convience.

Remember the exact state of the house before you moved in would be the balance of possiblities in law to determine what you should do and what the landlord should do. If you consented to move into a poorly built house to move in and saw all the defects and did not press for repairs, then the law wont really aid you, so check the facts again and see where you were wrong and where the landlord is wrong too.

Also anything that has to do with Nepa meter is usually a joint effort between the landlord and tenant to replace or repair unless the tenant has more to lose if you have a very stubborn and stingy Landlord.

Cheers!

Bottom line continue to read everyday and join a law firm to gain more expereince. Lawyers dont make money in their earlir stages of their career after law school because of the need to continue reading and gaining practical expereince because the law is so wide and very little time to cover it all, but after 5 years or so, you will be well armed to do certain legal jobs and make Money. Choose the path you want to follow either in litigation or commercial or corporate law.

There is no short cut!

This is why it is very important for you to have a tenancy agreement reviewed by your lawyer before you pay money to get an apartment.

Generally a tenancy agreement stipulates various duties that both the landlord and tenant should carry out during the tenancy period. These duties are called Covenants and it outlines which duties you should carry out and those of the landlord in respect of maintaining the structures in the apartment and its surrounding and effectively stipulates who is liable when there is a conflict.

From your question, it is evident that you have been given a quit notice and the quit notice still makes you a tenant till your tenancy expires. Your allusion to ertain damages that are natural and some man made, does follow. If you intentionally destroyed the door in your apartment during the tenacy period, it is your duty to repair it even though your given a quit notice unless the landlord can sue you for repairs even after the tenacy expires and if the roof is leaking, it is the duty of the landlord to repair it if it has been caused by natural causes.

You have to be specific to tell me what the real issue is in respect of repairs that you are talking about for me to know who actually carries the burden of responsibility to carry out that repair.

If you dont have a tenancy agreement, the law squarely puts it in the hands of the tenant to carry out that repair except it can be inferred that a landlord is the one in charge of it.

Cheers!
