@presido, u and this ur 2767 pounds when u no want allow me see road. How much be 2767 pounds biko? Kiinii big deal?
Thanks PB.

The heart is not so smart, but I think I understand what you are going through. Love and relationships are never straight forward things and no one can judge another's decision whatever that may be. I wish you would give yourself a little time and think and pray through the process. I know that time sometimes helps us to see better. Best of luck.

@ presido, I'll tell you something. Even I was appalled at the beginning when I started doing this business, but the thing is Lekki 1 is not in demand because of poshness or anything like that but because of proximity to Victoria Island and Ikoyi or the Island axis in general. That might be implausible to you, but that's the way it is. When people consider the daily grind of the traffic on 3rd Mainland, they would rather cough up the money and take a place in Lekki 1 to avoid it. Even people who live in Ajah want to come and live in Lekki. I won't pay for a room just so I can stay in Lekki when I can pay for 3 bedroom flat say in Badore or Sangotedo for the same amount and I even advise some clients to that effect, but there just seems to be some magic about Lekki and believe me even I don't know what it is. It just is.

rockhaven:
pls forgive me. would you in all honesty pay 1.2m for a 1 room boys quarter.i think we should delcine some property briefs that is quite oppressive.please forgive me,

@ rockhaven, you claim to live in VGC. I'm sure you know that a two room BQ in VGC costs N500k per annum right now. I do not have to decline the briefs I have because I have clientele for such properties. I didn't build the houses and everyone knows that Lekki 1 is a prime area, reason being proximity to Victoria Island and Ikoyi. For as many people that prefer to live in Lekki1 or on the Island in order to avoid daily traffic, there are 10 times that number that stilll come from the Mainland. So it's not by force to live in Lekki 1. But there are people who want to. It may be oppressive to you but not to the  people who demand it. So forgive me also and mind your own business let me mind mine. Thank you.

Dynamite98:
Do you have land in any estate already being occupied and Security at the gate along Ibadan/ Lagos expressway?

No, I don't. But the timeline for The Nest is two years and considerable work has been done there. The clearing has been completed and I would have uploaded more pictures but the size of the files are quite big, beyond the 200KB maximum file size allowed.

@presido, maybe you misunderstood cos I specifically stated it would be suitable for an Asian knowing the type of arrangement. You'd be surprised at how many enquiries I've received, so don't be so skeptical. Beside, there's nothing wrong with house sharing. If people can do it in London with absolute strangers of different nationalities, I don't see what the big deal is if someone thinks of letting out their property that way in Nigeria. And N600k in Lekki, and you think that's a lot of money, I'm sure!

@ Dynamite98, I have something both in Thomas Estate and Victory Park Estate which adjoins Thomas Estate. I'll also look at some other estates on the axis for you but these are the ones on hand right now that I have within an estate.

There are two rooms available in a 4 bedroom duplex to let in an estate in Lekki Phase 1. The occupant of the property is Oriental, hence I believe it will be suitable for someone from the same area. But if you are two male friends who can share a bathroom/toilet, then give me a call.

The rooms are upstairs, have ACs and beds. Toilet/bathroom to be shared. There's a living room downstairs and kitchen which will be available for use by the occupants of the rooms. The estate provides light between 7pm and 7am daily. Security and water also available.

Rooms are N600k per room per annum, asking. 2 years rent, 10% legal/agreement, 10% agency.

Further enquiries, please call, text or email: 07026779630 or 07028366541, wealthy1one@yahoo.com.

There is a sizeable one room BQ in an estate in Lekki Phase 1. The size of the room should be about 12 by 12. There is a kitchen, toilet and bathroom, suitable for a single person. The room has been lived in but it's in good shape.

The estate provides light between 7pm and 7am daily, it's well secured and clean.

The price is N500k per annum, 2 years rent, 10% legal/agreement and 10% agency. Total package is N1.2m.

For enquiries, please call, text or email: 07026779630 or 07028366541, wealthy1one@yahoo.com.

Direct clients preferred.

@ Lawyer, Brownbonno and Papabrowne, let me update you guys on my recent adventure in the picture taking new year resolutionist agency agenda.

After all the 'accusations' of laziness, off I went with my digicam just before the end of last year. I proceeded to take pictures of some properties I had on my hands. Having satisfied myself that I had sufficient to silence the nairaland naysayers, I proceeded to try to upload the pictures. And that's where the whole drama started. Try as I may, the pictures wouldn't upload before the internet would be disconnected. Day after day since the first day of this year, I tried and tried and tried. Sometimes even waking up in the early ungodly hours just to work. No show. Then three days ago, while doing the same, I decided to take the laptop to the bedroom and lay my head down while waiting for the effing thing to upload. Eureka! I made a great discovery. The internet connection was better. I had been using one of the corridors as my office and the network was no good there and I hadn't noticed. So I thought surely, I would be able to upload my pictures now.

Then to my utter dismay after the picture ought to have completely uploaded, NAIRALAND gave me an error message: YOUR FILE IS TOO BIG. What the fffff? I could not upload more than 200KB at a time. What? In this day and age? My average file was 600KB.

So, I've only been able to post the pictures of stuff that are under 200KB so far on one of my ads.

There!

The thing about short lets in Lagos is that they are just as expensive as if you're renting a house; the only good part being that you pay installmentally. The only one I know of is called PICADILLY SUITES, at Argungi on the Lekki Epe axis. I know you can negotiate a good discount, up to 50%, at my last inquiry, depending on your length of stay and how much you're willing to pay up front. I don't know if they have a website yet, I discussed with the manager the last time I visited. You can contact them on these numbers: 08062798505, 017610461.

The Executive 2 bedroom suites have kitchens, so you can cater for yourself. I think there's a general kitchen for the other smaller rooms. I think prices start somewhere around N6k per night, if it has not gone up for the single rooms.

coldwater:
where in Ibadan is the nest located?

The Nest is in Mowe, 2 minutes drive from Redemption Camp. It is the Pines that's in Ibadan, in the Abanla area as I described above.

The Nest Organic City is located along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Beside Paradise City, 2 minutes drive from Redemption Cam.

The Pines is located along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, in the Abanla area, 8 minutes drive from Ibadan Toll Gate, 45 minutes from Lagos, 30 minutes from Ijebu Ode, 25 minutes from Shagamu and 35 minutes from Abeokuta. It's a few minutes drive from Aramed hospital for those who know the area. It's on both sides of the expressway; the one beside Dominion University is predominantly commercial while the one opposite is majorly residential.

I think I liked what viperman said. I would not go so far as throwing away a relationship so quickly. U need to take things easy. You may just b wrong.

thats where we get it wrong, we always think they are to small, so u dnt wanna hear it, the truth is this is the best time to correct alot of wrongs that may happen in the future. you need to sit her down and tell her the ABC of relationships/heartbreaks and why its so wrong for her to get involved too early. tell her the right time,and things she needs to watch out for.

what u say to her today will go along way to help her in life, if only our mothers and fathers did the talking thing, most of us would have still been virgin till marriage, and most of the abortions, std's, heartbreaks, wld have been avoided.

lets be sincere, who can say they werent in some form of ''thing''  at age 12. even if it was playing mum and dad with the 10 year old girl next door. we need to educate the young ones early so they dnt make our mistakes. God knows i still regret sex, and i am sure most of us so. somethng a little lesson from mum/dad/big sis wld have avoided. poster pls play your role in your sisters life.

I have to agree with this poster on this one. These kids are watching things far above their age, what with digital satellite tv and they are getting ideas. The other time, my nephews, 8 and 10 were watching Casino Royale, I wanted to change it to a more age appropriate channel and they brazenly told me they had watched it with their dad. What was I to do? This generation are far more exposed than we were at that age.

The best thing you can do for your sister now is to be her best friend and her brother at the same time. Listen to her. But give her constructive advice. You are in a very good position to direct her correctly.

I don't think they are cheating on you, maybe not yet. But it's obvious she's very fond of him. Is her fondness healthy or not? That's another matter entirely and she's the only one who can answer if she's developing a romantic affection towards him. Is he someone she can't do without? Does she find him attractive in a man/woman kind of way? That's where the real issue lies. Also, your friend may be in a very awkward situation as well. He may well know that your fiancee fancies him and this may be a bit uncomfortable for him, depending on where he stands in this whole thing, that is whether he also fancies her or otherwise.
All in all, it's very tricky. I don't think you should use hard tactics to get any information out of your fiancee. Whatever is going on will show up eventually. Take your time and just be observant. Being confrontational will not help matters in my opinion.

more like a little boy's erotic lust of the week.

Joyce Meyer. I first read her book, ''Knowing God Intimately'' and it had a tremendous impact on my life and spiritual growth. I just love the way she's so practical and gives examples from her own real life situations. I listen to the others as well and get Joel Osteen's daily devotional.

Yes, there are many such relationships and they thrive, like someone said. Dating, though, is one thing. It's when it comes to the serious issue of settling down with an older woman that all hell can break loose.

@Moves, making a statement like house prices cannot crash may be stretching the truth a bit but in the overall, at the moment, one cannot go wrong investing in properties, especially in a place like Lagos where demand far outstrips supply. When we are talking investments, one cannot be overly careful. The people who first went into stocks made loads of money and those of us who got in late are grinding our teeth now.

Two years ago, on the Lekki axis, you could not find one bank between Mobil and Ajah. You had to go to VI if you needed to go to your bank. At the moment, I can count no less than 10 banks on this 15-kilometre road stretch. The rate of development is astronomical. More banks are scrambling to have a presence because there's a huge untapped market.

What I am saying in essence is that one cannot go wrong in property investment in Nigeria and those articles correctly depict the picture of the scenario in Nigeria, in particular, Lagos.

That stigma is based on ignorance and women are more at the receiving end than men. But there's more acceptance 'back at home', as you put it, than before as divorce cases are rising sadly.

Stigma or not, there's life after divorce and I would say she should get on with her life. And I reiterate, it's not a criminal offence.

Being divorced, as I tell people, is not a criminal offence.Unfortunately, there's a lot of ignorance out there about divorce.

I would advice you to focus on rebuilding your life without your ex. I would not carry on with the mindset of reconciliation cos it may never happen. Better to dust yourself up and move on with your life. Moreover, you don't want this to happen a second time, so prayerfully consider your next life partner.( And yes, you will remarry; why shouldn't you)
What I know is that partners in a relationship must be equally committed to avoid a scenario when one wants to take the easy road out in the face of conflict by seeking a divorce. There should not be a walk out clause in a marital relationship. God did not intend it to be so. But sadly, it still happens even among Christians.

Do not rush into a new relationship on the rebound. Take it easy. Be kind to yourself. Someone said good things happen to the worst of us. I would add that bad things also happen to the best of us. It's a fallen world. Just always give it your best shot at all times. Stay strong in the faith.

Update: This property has been let out. Thanks for all ur enquiries.
