Agent Commission Structure In Nigeria, real estate agents typically earn 5-10% commission on property sales, not 20%. A professional agent's role includes guiding clients through these necessary (and often complex) verification processes to prevent catastrophic losses.
Note 10% a of property value 280m.
280,000,000÷100×10 =28,000,000 NGN. (That you cannot remove 500k. From )
This is so sad if I were the buy i no go buy again.


NOTE: it's important to have these conversations about transparency in real estate transactions.
Please all these agents. There is no fee like due diligence so if. You know that you are not going to follow due diligence with your 10% commission dont take the job no be by force.

Imagine how can an agent be sitting on a 28. Million naira commission and still be asking for 500k. For (so called due diligence)

Hlep me make sense of this

What punishment do you recommend to be given to corrupt politician that embezzled and stole the our future, and that of generations to come?

Corruption is the foundation of all coup in Africa

mascot87:
Those that staged the coup should be arrested and the maximum punishment of dead sentence should be there destiny. No mercy

Soldiers from where Nigeria left the group

seunmsg:
Details are still sketchy but if true, this must not be allowed to stand. Soldiers from 35 Artillery Brigade in Abeokuta should be deployed to flush out the coupist immediately.

War.... war tears the veil away it makes our nature plain and base and return the world to it oldest form,strength and death. Ash... blood Once War comes.... cannot be controlled it devours ALL

God user

AKONE:
Which of these two do you honestly think the modern Church has more of — God users or God chasers? And why?

You're on point

AKONE:
Let’s be brutally honest for a moment: some Christians don’t love God—they exploit Him. They treat the Almighty like He’s some divine vending machine: insert prayer, press a promise, wait for a blessing to drop. We’ve dressed it up with church language, but the motive is the same: “God, give me what I want.” And if He delays? They disappear.

John 6 is the perfect x-ray. Jesus had just fed the five thousand. The next day, the crowd hunted Him down. But Jesus wasn’t fooled. He exposed them on the spot: “You’re looking for Me because you ate the loaves and were filled.” In modern English: “You didn’t come for Me. You came for the freebies.”

They weren’t followers—they were consumers. They wanted lunch, not Lordship.
They wanted bread, not the Bread of Life.
The blessing, not the Blesser.
The miracle, not the Master.

Tell me this isn’t exactly what we see today.

We have churches packed with people who “praise” God as long as He performs. Christians who give only because preachers promise a tenfold return. Believers who treat prayer like a shopping list. People who “serve God” while secretly waiting for Him to serve them back.
They’re not worshippers—they’re negotiators.
Not seekers—customers.
Not disciples—clients.

Let’s call it what it is: God is being used.

But God was never supposed to be your emergency exit, your financial backup, your emotional crutch, or your painkiller. He is GOD. He is the treasure—not the transaction.

No wonder Jesus didn’t offer the crowd another miracle. He offered Himself. And the moment He did, they grumbled. They wanted the kingdom’s benefits but not the King’s presence. And like many Christians today, they walked away the moment following stopped being “convenient.”

Here is the uncomfortable truth:
If the only time you run to God is when you need something—
you’re not seeking God. You’re seeking solutions.

God can spot a user a mile away. Jeremiah 29:13 makes it plain: “You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart.” Not “all your needs.” Not “all your pressure.” Not “all your demands.” Your heart.

True discipleship starts when God Himself becomes the reward.
When you pray because you desire Him, not because you’re desperate.
When you give out of love, not calculation.
When you stay faithful even when heaven feels quiet.
When Jesus stops being your tool—and becomes your treasure.

At the end of John 6, the crowd abandoned Jesus. But the disciples remained. Why? Peter answers it perfectly: “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.”
Users ran away.
Lovers stayed.

So here’s the real question—one that cuts right to the soul:
Would you still follow God if He stopped giving you things?
If the blessings paused, would your devotion remain?

Because at the end of the day:
God users chase blessings.
God chasers chase God.
And heaven knows the difference.

Always remember never to buy a dream that's been sold to you

Do you see the pastors complaining?
pastors will not complain about this system because it is a major beneficiary of tge system. Runing a tax free organization. Always forcing it congregation to pay money for Thanksgiving to offering to welfare to Church development, and any other money they can think of but they will never ever use this money for the benefit of the congregation. rather they use it for the benefit of their own interest building a new church so they can have more members and collet mor money. church will never build a factory that will employ labor. Train it staff to work with the fear of thy Lord. They would rather ask worshippers to come and contribute in their building by Cash or labor that God will bless you but you won't be able to participate in the progress of the building after completion of the project. Churches in Nigeria have built a relationship based on compulsory taxation.

mrvitalis:
What about for churches? The state has Christians and the money belongs to everyone

Sokoto Christians should as a matter of urgency take the matter to court immediately

This is how the cheating starts

I look at what Nigeria has become, and my heart aches. This is not the Nigeria my forefathers spoke of with pride. It is not the land of promise my father’s father believed they were building. There was a time when the word education here meant something it was a light, a key, a solid foundation made of discipline, truth, and character. Today, that foundation is not just cracked; it feels utterly washed away. What has happened to our education?

It is not hard to see the sickness. The symptoms are everywhere, violent and loud. We see it in the rage of our youth, their frustration boiling over into streets filled with chaos instead of campuses filled with debate. We see it in the kidnapping of students from their dormitories, a tragedy so monstrous it tells the world that even our places of learning are not sacred or safe. We see it in the graduates who can recite theories but cannot solve the basic problems before them, in the celebrated scholar who cannot write a simple letter without error. The certificate has become a paper idol, worshipped while the knowledge it supposedly represents vanishes.

The world watches and pities us, labels us a third world country sliding down and down. They see the brain drain our best minds fleeing like refugees from a system that cannot nurture them. They see our universities, once citadels of excellence, now with roofs caved in, libraries empty, and laboratories dead. The global ranking lists tell the story we live every day: we are absent, or we are at the bottom.

So, what has happened? From different corners, the thoughts and truths pour in, and they mix into a bitter brew:

The Government says there is no money, that priorities lie elsewhere. They point to budgets that are passed but never find their way to the crumbling walls and rusted blackboards. Education became a political tool, a ministry to share among parties, not a national mission to be guarded with our lives.

The Teachers whisper of being abandoned unpaid, disrespected, and forced to survive on a passion that the system itself is determined to extinguish. How can a hungry teacher feed a child’s mind? How can a demoralized educator inspire greatness?

The Parents sigh, caught between a rock and a hard place. They sacrifice everything to pay exorbitant fees for private schools, seeing the public system as a condemned building. Yet, they also push for just the certificate, the paper, sometimes forgetting that real education is about building a human being, not just a graduate.

The Students cry out, trapped in a cycle of hopelessness. They ask, Why learn history in a dark classroom? Why study chemistry with no chemicals? Why strive for excellence when the system rewards connection over competence?
Their disillusion turns to anger, and their anger to apathy or violence.

The Society at large forgot that education is the soul of a nation. We began to celebrate wealth without work, success without substance, and fame without foundation. We abandoned the values that true education instills: honesty, diligence, civic duty, and the love for one’s neighbor. When a society mocks the learned and celebrates the rogue, the classroom has already lost.

Our education has been robbed. Robbed of funding, robbed of integrity, robbed of vision. It has been poisoned by corruption, suffocated by neglect, and hollowed out by a desperate, short-sighted pursuit of survival over scholarship.

We have traded the deep, reflective well of knowledge for a shallow, stagnant puddle. We are raising a generation that can operate a smartphone but cannot think critically about the messages it carries, that can navigate social media but cannot navigate the complexities of their own history or the path to a peaceful future.

What has happened to our education is what is happening to Nigeria. They are mirrors. A broken system creating a broken reality. To fix one, we must heal the other. It begins with remembering what my forefathers knew that the child in the classroom is the future on the throne. And right now, that future is sitting in the dark, waiting for a light we have all but extinguished.

We must rekindle it. Or be consumed by the darkness.

I hope they were properly compensated

in such immediate crises, the victim should indeed contact the nearest police station to formally report the invasion and ensure their response is documented, as the Federal Government's ban on open grazing provides a legal basis for action if the police refuse to act, recording and sharing that failure on social media can then serve to hold them accountable and escalate the matter for public and governmental redress.

While you/we in one voice demand full Compensation from the Nigeria government and police BECAUSE IT’S THERE RESPONSIBILITY to PROTECT THE LIVE AND PROPERTY OF the citizens. As they are all paid by Tax payer money.

If you know you can protect me don't collect my money/TAX

Please what is the benefit of all this social groups in Nigeria. They are only interested in political matters for selfish reasons never for the welfare of the community.

I disagree with your characterization of Nigeria as a disgraced country, as that is a broad generalization. While challenges exist, many Nigerians are thriving with integrity and making significant positive contributions globally. The issue of crime committed by some citizens abroad often stems from deeper systemic problems at home, like lack of opportunity. It’s akin to a child who steals because they are hungry and uncared for the solution isn’t just condemnation, but providing the food of development, care, and opportunity. What Nigeria needs is constructive support and a loving touch to build a society where everyone can prosper, reducing the pressures that lead to crime.

it's like a child a mother beating a child for stealing but I've refused to provide food for the child to eat tell me what's the solution

markidoo:
Nigeria now A DISGRACED COUNTRY OF PARTICULAR CONCERN

When funds meant to protect our children from terrorists are allegedly mismanaged while kidnappings continue, it feels like the deepest form of betrayal. The human cost, children killed, lifetimes traumatized is incalculable.

We must instinct for the maximum punishment rooted in this justified fury, we must channel this anger into demands for the death penalty for corruption or embezzlement,


Because their action directly or indirectly is killing us

it's a dangerous oversimplification to directly link criminal behavior exclusively to poverty or parental education levels.

Note that survival is often the primary focus for those facing severe economic hardship. The daily struggle for food and shelter can leave little room for the kind of premeditated, organized actions described in this story. Furthermore, crime exists across all socioeconomic strata. Wealth can sometimes enable more sophisticated or hidden crimes, from complex behaviors shielded by privilege

The roots of this specific case seem to lie more in a toxic combination of Group psychology and peer pressure, Possible trauma or prior victimization Sometimes, perpetrators are acting out cycles of abuse they themselves have experienced and Mainly failure of protective systems This includes not just families, but schools and communities that may have missed escalating warning signs.

This isn't about making excuses for them, but about understanding the problem correctly to prevent it from happening again. The comment that poor kids. carry the crown risks swapping one stereotype for another.

The reality is that crime and cruelty are human failures, not the exclusive domain of any one economic class.

We4all:
The children people are raising these days though. A JSS 3 girl should be around 13 or 14 years. She was gang raped not once or twice, but kept the secret from her parents. This is pathetic!

If you dig deeper, you will find out that both teenagers are the products of some broke illiterate parents who have no busy with birthing. I'm not saying rich kids don't commit crime, but honestly, poor kids with mostly illiterate parents carry the crown when it comes to committing crimes.

It was never a race.

LONDON — Former U.S. presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton will address British MPs next week — an honor twice denied to Donald Trump.

The ex-Democratic nominee will appear at an event in Speaker’s House — the grand official residence of the Speaker of the House of Commons — next Tuesday. The event sill be co-hosted by Labour MP Liam Conlon and Conservative MP Julian Smith.

It is not an official event, but an in-conversation to celebrate the 180th anniversary of Queen’s University Belfast, of which Clinton is chancellor. She will co-host a dinner with parliamentarians and others in Westminster afterwards.

This is the Welcome development if they are going to follow through it

it's crucial to note that this is still an emerging field. While promising, the research is ongoing, and more large scale human trials are needed to definitively confirm specific health benefits for various conditions. It is not a magic cure for diseases.

Is it a scam? Not necessarily. The core technology (electrolysis to enrich water with H₂) is real, and the science behind molecular hydrogen is promising.
Do the health benefits live up to the marketing hype? Probably not fully. Your description uses language that is stronger and more definitive than the current science supports. It's best to temper expectations.

Drinking hydrogenrich water is considered safe, and many people report subjective benefits like increased energy or better recovery. However, you should not replace medically prescribed treatments with it.


Final Advice If you are interested in trying molecular hydrogen for its potential wellness benefits and the device has good user reviews regarding build quality and durability, it could be worth exploring as a supplement to a healthy lifestyle. However, approach it with realistic expectations, not as a miracle cure.

Lolx.

Its my husband duty to pamper me,care for me,Asked how my day went,spoil me with gifts.....because I m his priority.

But if SHE EAT HIS MONEY UNDER FAKE LOVE. SHE IS A PRINCESS

The Government is Single handedly responsible

She is a suspect

64kent:
so i stared talking with this babe i liked and we seem to be doing well ......but i noticed that she gets different calls from different guys and the tone in which they speak often gets me worried and i had to ask this question ??
but no she is angry and not wanting to talk to me
help what do i do ?

Just because someone has a disability does not mean they have a limit to what they can achieve if you believe being fully able means manually lifting five bags of water, remember that with the right training and opportunity, they can learn to operate a forklift and lift twenty times that weight true empowerment is not defining people by their perceived constraints, but by investing in their capacity to excel beyond imagination.

I cannot support this initiative because distributing 200,000 naira a mere $150 is not empowerment but a token gesture that fails to address systemic economic challenges, this amount cannot even cover three bags of rice, let alone sustain families with extended dependents, and it offers only a temporary fix rather than the permanent solutions expected from such a high level meeting. Instead of short term handouts, I am disappointed that the First Lady did not leverage her influence to create lasting opportunities, such as introducing sustainable job programs or direct export linkages, which would have enabled genuine economic independence and meaningful progress for Persons with Disabilities.

While the U.S. visa policy targeting violators of religious freedom is a warranted step, its focus should be broadened to also systematically restrict visas for corrupt politicians and officials

Focus on the goal and the goal is to make Nigeria better

Jealous man

Na correct question you ask, but make we no mix matters. Yes, she dey face discipline because of International negative trend, and na true say she no be first time to dey do controversial things for public. e reach to make her resign, [/b]na because her own case don pile and e dey affect how people see her office. But you talk say make we compare her to Tinubu or Edo Governor correct!
That one no mean say because others dey do bad, make we ignore her own. All of dem suppose face judgment for their [b]actions. Na like say because armed robber dey, make police no pursue yahoo boy?
No! Bad behavior na bad behavior, whether e be one person or many. She no suppose comot because others dey misbehave too, but because she herself don fail to meet standard, more than once. If we allow am slide because "others dey do bad," na so corruption go dey win for this country.

Originalsly:
Let me ask ... what did she do? She is being disciplined because she is trending negatively. By the same standard ... is there any other representative that should be disciplined? Let's look at Tinubu ... is he trending negatively? Is the Edo Governor and all representatives trending positively? ...none negatively except her? Help me understand.

I personally welcome the summons issued by the Edo State House of Assembly to Hon. Natasha Irobosa as a necessary step towards upholding ethical standards, and we strongly call for her immediate resignation. Her alleged misconduct is a profound disgrace not only to the nation of Nigeria and to Edo State, but also to the people of Egor Constituency she was elected to serve. She should therefore step aside to allow competent and focused individuals, of whom there is no shortage, to assume the position and dedicate themselves to the urgent work of representing the people and developing the state.
