Ok let's look at it from the financial side; the extra 100k equals an extra N1.2 million annually. So if you remove the 500k housing that makes it 700k extra. Then the 2 weeks Dubai trip (I doubt if it would exceed 500k total), it means you'll have like 200k less.

Location wise; Lagos would be far cheaper in terms of accommodation than Abuja. However, there might be more stress from the commuting to and from work (this might not be a problem of you find a suitable accommodation near your workplace).

Finally, looking at the comment from that guy with 10 years experience, I think it's best to move and grab this new opportunity.

Bros na wa for you. Does he look 39? He looks 29 to me. Even if we know say he go dey like 32 e no dey show for him face

The argument should be, "Can a civil servant in a MINISTRY be a millionaire". The answer should be No.

But if you're asking if a civil servant in an agency or parastatal like NCC, NERC, NNPC and similar organisations can be a millionaire; the answer is absolutely yes. Graduates in these institutions don't start with anything less than N250,000 a month minuses various allowances (housing, eduaction, etc).

If I'm in a parastatal and I make N250k a month, I won't spend more than N100k monthly, then I have my N150k saved each month for a year which equals N1.8 million. This is without taking into account my housing, which could be as high as 1 million per annum (I know graduates,level 8 officers, in a lesser agency getting N1.6 million for housing).

It's very possible to be a millionaire as a civil servant. I don't know about being a billionaire though.

I really don't care how many people follow him for the trip. My own is, what is FCT minister going for? Most street lights in Abuja haven't been working for over two or three months now.

This issue of cars getting burnt by fire on their own should really be investigated. Just two days ago in my estate a car caught fire on its own at the bonnet. Luckily the security men saw it and alerted everyone.

Maybe a thread should be made on this issue. It would definitely be useful.

Idle cash? So what? Isn't it their hard earned money? The CBN should not turn this country into something else by questioning individuals who choose to save THEIR money.

If Innoson wants to get it right,
He should spend more on Adverts just like Dangote cement and supaghetti.

Also he should use his cars. I hope this won't give his company the usual "entitlement" mentality Nigerians have. If the owner of a company can not place enough confidence in his products to use them, then how would anyone trust the quality of their production.

Lol! Take it easy my dear, I know Merkel is their Chancellor but I don't think Bubu knows

krattoss:
lol..so buying snacks, pure water, and all these petty stuffs improves the economy?

tell me more..

Hotels were used, food was sold in restaurants, and most likely drink were bought in bars.

Economy is improved by these kind of activities even if it's just for a day or two.

basil2u:
This is pure scam. lt's not from glo.

Check the second line it says "Globacomm".
Now check the third line, it says "Globacom".

Another typo "wont" instead of "won't".

Amateur scammers.

Another error in grammar, the scam artist used "Am" instead of "I'm"

Super1759:
Why Abia state come deh different

Because it was APGA vs PDP not APC vs PDP

I've seen this face on Tinder (social media app). We chatted last in October.

It's unfortunate to say this but it seems like she's into runs. I asked for us to hangout and she started asking "Are you staying alone" and "Will I spend the night", at which I immediately ignored her.

Hopefully she will be found.

TeamSimple:
Sorry the election is not coming from the East. Its a fight between PDP and aPC.

This highlights the problem of Nigerian electorates. We don't know the candidates, just the parties. Thus the best candidate, though from a lesser known party, never ends up being the winner.

This looks really interesting, and yes, it is genuine. Check the website of African Union.

However, how does one get a letter of recommendation from ones workplace without being queried about the reason behind such request and even risk of being sacked.

Still searching for the cleavage...

Wow!! I know this guy from our university. I hope he's safe somewhere.

This life though.

its absolutely wrong.....am a christian though

Lol you're definitely not a Christian for making that statement. Women praying with men is normal in Christianity.

Can't you just wait until the fullness of time? A time is coming when you will be allowed to kiss through out the day with your spouse (although, not possible). A five minute kiss can lead to five years of shame and dejection, can you please wait for the right moment so you won't regret your action? If you can, then, you're on the right path. Happy Sunday!

I was previously against the use of federal character in making appointments but i think now it is evident that the people who put it into law knew what they were doing.

Shocking....waste of money.....government financing hotels Muumuu governor.....

If Fashola did this he would be called the greatest governor in the history of Nigeria.

Today is the last day according to the owner for me to make my decision. He agreed to reduce the rent to 750k per annum for two years (that's 1.5million). I will ask him to extend the deadline for a week so I can do a thorough research.

I'd like to thank everyone for the response. It really helped me to put things I never thought about into consideration. Cheers.

Bibol:
More like subletting a relaxation centre. Its a lucrative business in abuja if yo u have good sales rep and a honest manager. People use these places for events, holiday camps for kids etc. So they pay the owner to make use of the gardens for a number of hours or days, depending on the occasion.

@ OP, pls make your findings well. I've seen where a portion of a garden was used as a car wash and suya joint. It all depends on the location and maintenance of the venue. Don't rush any investment decision.

Good luck!

Thanks

hedonistic:
I am interested in this topic for all kinds of reasons. Which area in Abuja is the garden located? Besides you have to budget millions to put it together (apart from the annual rental).

And I think it will be a good idea to invite ashawos and runs girl's to sit around and add spice to the place.. They would attract money spenders (men). So far I think it's only Eden Garden in Utako that has this 'unique' attraction of all the numerous gardens in Abuja town..

I have about a million naira which I am willing to risk after payment of rent into the business. I don't have millions as you say.

AgreatMan:
I think this is a very bad idea. Firstly, ur tenancy agreement is a scam, it's too short n u cn b kicked out anytime. Secondly, u dn't sound lk u r ready 2 pump 15m over d course of a yr. bizness is going to be very slow even after spending millions cos it will take a lot of time 4 pple to knw there, cn u stomach d losses? I think u just want to invest cos y hear pple talk abt having a 2nd income every now n then n u hastily want to jump in.

my advice, kindly ring up Mr. Adeleke, Baba Olowo himself telling him u hv a freaking hot 2m per annum land to rent n keep d change.

ask urself this question, y is d owner not going in2 d biz himself?

According to the owner, he has acquired another place that he would like to focus his energy on.

4everGrand:
If its located in an area where commuters pass, u'll hit it. Ur focus is people, so...

Loads of commuters. It's not an isolated area.

chimah3:
Tbh! Its not worth your two millionv invest ur money elsewhere? All ds gardden businesses in abuja are not as rosey as u think! Assuming it 500k nau...ehen! Not 2 million abeg! Plus it might not be a geniune land....dts y dey are rushing u! Don't be too quick to invest...don't let any1 put fire on ur ass wen ur money is involved? Good things no dey finish! If u don't wanna squander the money go n look for geniune land and buy somewhere...n watch ur money grow

Thanks. I'll put this into my consideration

bigtt76:
Yea but during that same period you're making money too. You can also look into extending the lease by way of adding a clause offering you the right of first refusal on tenancy expiration.

Thanks. I'll try adding that to the contract if I end up taking the place.

timpaker:


@Op. I'd suggest you take it cuz the price is relatively cheap in my opinion I.e. If it is in the metropolis (AMAC) but I'd plead that you should get a good PR to help you manage the place. His job would be to source for local talents such as comedians and musicians to perform dia during weekends (Fridays especially).

Secondly, try and get adequately documented when you get the place if not all those FCDA boys will make money off you through frequent closing of your garden for one funny reason or the other.

Lastly, visit places like Eden garden(Utako), Cupa cubanna (Apo) City park (Wuse II) and Rivers Plate (Wuse II/Maitama) and see how they organise themselves.

My few cents

It is within the metropolis. I would as the owner for a week to thoroughly investigate the place.
