I went off grid 8yrs ago. I told my landlord then to disconnect me from the postpaid meter,

Leezah: Good evening Sir, how are you and family?
Landlord: Good evening, my pickin, we thank God.
Leezah: Baba, e joor mo Fe ino NEPA no ( I don't want NEPA light)
Landlord: How will you use light
Leezah: Baba! E ma worry, mi Oni owo NEPA bill more and I don't want it to be am the reason for NEPA disconnecting our light
Landlord: O Fe ino (you don't want light) how will you cope
Leezah: Yes baba, unless I will be the one making them cut our light because I don't want NEPA light anymore.
Landlord: Ko buru omo mi
Today Landlord uses solar panels system

n3xt:
SOS!!!

I want to go completely off grid and show more people it could be done.
We’ve learnt to survive without Ministry of Water Resources. We can achieve the same with the Ministry of Mines & Power.

I’ll share a video of a project that’s completely off grid shortly. I hope I’m able to find it.

PristineSteve:
Where is the location?

cc: Dabogu should know better than I do. I only helped her to upload it

skup008:
It not interlock ma. It is the new innovation that has more advantages over interlocking.

And yes the price is per square meter.

Thanks.

How much is it per square meter

EgunMogaji2:
Question for rental flat owners.

Where did you locate the prepaid meters, centrally or by the units?

For those with solar power, where did you place the equipment, inside the unit or outside?

I thank you in advance.

Solar panel equipment inside the house close to the junction box

Oya make una value this property

My dear , we know his tricks ,he thinks people on nairaland lack experience so he was ready to exploit. I called him more than 8times to supply me the granite , he ignored me until i gave a man his contact to chat him , he answered and quoted 225k for 30tons

He was to rip people off. That's smart of you.

OlaogunMichael:
Avoiding Land Scam.
How to verify if land in Lagos Or Ogun state, Nigeria is free from government acquisition before buying.
To avoid buying a land on government acquisition, follow the following steps
1.Contact a surveyor for his services
2.Surveyor will visit site to confirm documents available is the exact location, because land scammers are fond of giving clients documents to other area that is free from government acquisition or modify the plan at hand for their scam.
3.After confirming the location and acquiring land information by surveyor, then
4.Surveyor helps you chart if the area is free from government acquisition or not
5.A written or oral report is then delivered inclusive of surveyors’ recommendation.

My Recommendation :
Contact Land Surveyor Olaogun Michael Ekundayo On 09025234582
For Land Documentation and to check a land if fake or original before buying land or property.
To help you check land Survey if original or fake.
To check land title before you buy land and to chart land before you buy.
To check if land is free or not.
To help with land surveying in lagos, ogun or anywhere in Nigeria.

Hmmmm

Enyinne:

So why didnt u supply the 175k u mentioned since its bargain price and i suddenly left it to buy granite for 180k .i thought any homeowner will jump into the best offer .What happened to yours ??Ur only using that to lure customers then tell them the home truth about ur price .its u that will diy young as what ever u wish for others is definitely ur portion.

Leezah 08134028062 just text

why?

Fastt:
Sell the two property and leave the shit hole. The country is doomed anyway. Go get an American soldier,(they are everywhere online) and get a better life for you and your family.

You a loose cannon.

crackhaus:
Right, so las las it doesn't matter which property the mother wants...

it does to an extend because it was the mom that was with the dad when the where planning the future.

crackhaus:
What is the best solution in your opinion?

This is a financial security and survival issues.
She should check the cost of completing the property 1& 2 then do a cost benefits analysis.

dingbang:
Get married so that your husband will complete it for you. You cannot come and go and come back again to kill yourself.

Op don't listen to this advise. It is a gateway to depression.

TheEnlightenedO:
Two things,
You could either find a real estate developer who would invest and help complete both for a shared ratio of the generated revenue in terms of rent for a few years and then the property would be handed over fully back to you, note you would retain ownership and have a fully developed property while it is also appreciating in value for a few years. But you need to make sure you have a competent lawyer draft your agreement with the said developer. Please people do it even abroad.

Or
You could sell one and use the funds to start completing the other but I would tell you from experience what you estimate you would need is never what you would truly need to finish that building and you also have to think of running costs so it is also best you try to rent a part of it out to generate money

Options 1 will be very difficult in present Nigeria. It will take time to materialize + seeing a trustworthy developer that wouldn't take advantage of her.

crackhaus:
Property 2 (with a roof) seems more like a building that will cost less to complete when compared to property 1.

The locations should also determine which of the two you can sell for the most profit.

She sighted reasons why the mom wants Property 1.

A real man must be able to control his mouth. Don't ever expose what you had with a lady in secret, sleeping with you doesn't mean she is cheap. Every woman is expensive and has a secret admirer that wants to settle with her at all cost.

Treat a lady right.

“well, who defines normal?”-cliche quote day :-P

you should know that having sex with your best friend is NOT the norm because well it just is but we now have this thing called friends-with-benefits which is an arrangement existed un-named for maybe a lot of years, in which people who are friends( my observation is they are usually mutual acquaintance more like it, not friends) have agreed to have sex for their own reasons which exclude romance and dating. so if both of you have mutually agreed to have sex and keep your friendship intact without going into dating then it is feasible . you have to keep in mind some facts about this kind of arrangement is than..

usually as i have seen people don’t do this FWB with best friends because well, they are so close to you, as close as a spouse/partner is supposed to be except for maybe the sexual component is missing for the most part and don’t date you to know how you would be as a life-long partner.

it much safer than one night stands i guess. you know the person in a way but now you are going to see the other side of them as a lover.

you don’t have any right to his exclusive time as sexual partner and they does not have either, if any of you feel dating someone else during this arrangement feel like betrayal than you know you are much more than just happy arrangement now. litmus test.

be aware of his clean status before you get into it and make them aware too. some things your average best friends don’t exchange is maybe regular talk of clean bill of health, huh?

as long as you both are sure you can handle the intricacies and are happy and safe with this arrangement. everything should be fine.

diordaves:
# Ask for seller's FUL name

# Ask his/her residential address for the past three years.

# Ask the origin of the land if bought or inherited from a family.

# If bought from a family, ask for FULL details of the family.

# If bought from a third party, ask for the details of original seller, receipt and deed of original sale.

# If the seller lives in the vicinity of the land, ask if they belong to the landlord association.

# Ask for the details of the youth/community leader of the area.

Then independently possibly with your lawyer, confirm the above information. This will help you authenticate the seller's genuity and ownership of the land.

#Ask for a copy of the C of O

# Ask for a copy of the seller's survey plan. On the survey plan should be the details of the surveyor. Independently confirm this.

Give C of O and survey plan to your lawyer for verification. If the C of O is authenticated, then the work is almost done.

Only when you confirm the above and the survey plan and the surveyor, before you make payment. Any inconsistency with the documentation and name on any document must be fully addressed. Don't allow yourself to be hurried. If you are told someone else is waiting to pay, tell them to accept the payment. Don't be rushed.

Don't show fear or ignorance during negotiation. Be confident.

Very correct

Good day fam.
I'm considering getting a land
My budget is 700-800k
Can I get a good land

Illah and Isele Asagba is your best bet. Ugbolu is a no go area.

mrsteel:
In other words it is safe for an illiterate trader building houses to lead an engineer because he has field experience?
When u want to build a good structure, go give it to baba yabasi because he got field experience!
What happens to the professionals with field experience? You should know I was referring to standard approach of doing things. I know we have uneducated old men in villages building houses, should that now be the norm & they made to lead engineers?
I don't expect anything different from a computer scientist turn builder though & those that built their houses without the presence of an engineer on their build throughout the construction phase.
They are sure to support this!
Abeg I no fit argue!

You didn't get his point. Experience is better even with professionals involved.

n3xt:
I think he’s talking about field experience which still remain a highly desirable experience by clients and employers alike. This can come from anyone (Builder, QS, Architect, or even property investor). Some homeowners even know much more than most of their supervisors nowadays.

Your work experience can show a potential client whether you can handle tough working environments, meet deadlines, manage complex projects and work well within a team, your certifications on the other hand display an individuals’ depth of understanding of the subjects taught in school. Remember some subjects are bought too

I’d rather give my job to an illiterate plumber who have successfully installed over 3,000 houses in Lagos than the one who have an advanced certificate in plumbing and mechanics but without experience.

Let’s come home.

When you go to most mixed-use developments around in town, you’ll still see that it’s those Baba Jide/Baba Yisa the experienced plumbers (called agbalagba plumber) that get the big jobs done.

So I see nothing wrong in an architect learning or working under a QS, especially if the QS is the “agbalagba” in the industry.

Experience they say can't be bought in the market and it is only gotten by doing the job. This "agbalagbas" have been doing the job for years with no formal education (with the exception of few) The bolded is so true. I have a neighbor who toilet has been give him an issue they have called different plumbers to come fix it, yet it didn't get the job done yet money has been spent.

They called the "agbalagba" it took less than 5 mins to detect the fault and lessser amount to fix this same issue. He later got the plumbing job for 3 building in that close. From that day, I go with experience.

jieta:
please share the story with me

It'll be exusting reading from page one to get the story.

Lol! Don't be lazy take the pain and read from page 1 till the last, you will that k me later.

MrMcJay:
The reason is obvious. You would get the true picture of the kind of tenant such a person is.
The prospective tenant could be owing 3 years rent and wants to use it to pay 1 year rent to you. 2 years from now, you'll open a thread on how to handle a problematic tenant.

Don't inherit unnecessary problems. Speak to his previous landlord.

Thank you very much boss.

MrMcJay:
Speak to his previous landlord. Very important.

Why?

MrMcJay:
Provide the tenant with a tenant's form which requests all information you need from that tenant. Once you have it, verify the info. Speak to his or her employers and previous landlord.
Try to gauge the income level of the tenant to see if the tenant can maintain payment of rent for the property.

Follow your gut feeling and don't shine teeth with the tenant. It's a business transaction and keep it that way.

Thank you boss! I used your form your dropped on the NT-Bills thread. His a business (generators repairs-Lister and Perkins) man with 6 children.

Thanks

If you tenants have refused to pay the following options should help

LAWYER
Get a lawyer.. Please don't take laws into your hands, because the law tilts more in favour of tenants. get a lawyer to Give him quit notice if his a yearly tenant If the tenant is on yearly payment, it is 6 months notice that u'll give him and it will start counting frm d day you served him d notice irrespective of how many months he has not paid.

Once the quit notice has been filed validly for 6 months, any day over that 6 months notice means the tenant is holding over that property illegally and he no longer becomes a tenant but a tenant at sufferance and from there onward you dont need to issue him a quit notice again but an OWNERS INTENTION TO RECOVER PREMISES in 7 DAYS And from there onwards the tenant practically has no defence legally when the matter will be filed at the rent tribunal nearest to you.

Tops with all the adjournment within 3 to 5 months the court balliffs will personally come to serve them to eject them of the premises compulsorily.

or

DO IT YOURSELF (DIY)
If you don't want to contact a lawyer.
Let me give you a summary of what you should do .Serve him the statutory notices ie 7 days and one month,then file a suit for recovery of premises at the nearest magistrate court.

Once the case comes up tell the court you are handling the case yourself,enter witness box and tell the court what the man did and the order you are seeking from them.The bailiff will then enter the box and tell the court that he served the man but he didn't come .The court will then grant you the order you are seeking.You will take the judgement copy and go to the bailiff and pay them for policemen.

The policemen and the bailiffs will go to the man's house one early morning, break his house and pack all his properties to the court premises. I hope you learnt something today from this. Goodluck

or

GOVERNMENT
If you based in Lagos If its Lagos, go through the human right activist section or Mediation center of the State Government. They have many outlets in each local government in the state. They'll charge a fee of #8,000 and would handled the cases

or

STREETS
I don't encourage this any longer but its inevitable where a tenant things you must suffer after the initial suffer to build a house. Go to court, pay the clerk and officials and get a notice, paste on his door in his absent and snap then take notice off. Make some other person appear in court in his stead as a proxy tenant he transferred tenant ship to without your consent and get a verdict and evict him immediately as the unpreparedness will rock his life for ever. He can continue the fight from outside your house. The person that appeared is the person you have been seeing around the house and you don't know him. Simply put, he alone can provide that person.

NB: I cannot respond to DM so do well to mention me with your email. Thank you
