Churches should be placed in a special taxable category. The tax is not based on their income but on the property they occupy. You can't have a 12-storey church in Victoria Island and refuse to pay tax cos it's a church.

All these agbaya churches that have hundreds of parishes but don't have a single orphanage or hospital. Even their mediocre schools are designed to cater to the children of the rich.

Guys, you know the funny thing, these Muslims and Christian leaders would soon issue a joint press release. When money is involved, no religion o. Greed unites them.

Freeze freed the sheeples. Now, Ambode wan hammer the sheeples.

Hello house, I need advise on this issue. My landlord gave me quite notice after my rent due at 31th of October and the letter was delivered to my house on 15th of November.
Now the man is calling me to pay my rent after I told the man have accepted the letter and I will move out by end of May.
I don’t have interest to renew the rent again and lawyer is calling me to pay before Friday.

OP, once your rent expires, you're entitled to just 7-days notice. You think you are entitled to 6-months' notice? Lmao

Let me tell you. they'll drag you to court and you'll pay for the extra time spent on the property.

Go and sit down. Even when churches have disputes, they hire lawyers to argue their matters in court.

Bloggers are out of nonsense to post.

People are asking fundamental questions and I see so-called Christians insulting and cursing those asking questions. It is when one loses an argument that he begins to shout and curse.

It is very valid to ask what the churches do as charity. Under the laws of Nigeria, churches are registered as charities and are therefore NGOs. They are tax exempt because it is assumed their funds are for charitable purposes.

Therefore, and Christian that finds such questions offensive is simply using feigned anger to cover his embarrassment at the shortcomings of the church organisation registered as a charity but not performing charitable acts.

thanks for speaking for Nigerians. But am sure nigerians can speak for themselves.
Thanks you.

This is the difference between someone paid to post online and someone who has actually run a business.
From your post, I seriously doubt if you've ever run a profitable business.

While you were away, other brands took your market share. Sit down in your showroom in VI and expect customers to waltz in. It's like you people haven't learnt your lessons yet.

When crude oil prices were high, landing costs were low.
Now that crude oil prices are low, landing costs are high.

This government defies all rules of integrity, logic, commonsense and sanity in its dealings with Nigerians.

Sad

This morning, I left my house some mins to 5am to join the queue for fuel at NNPC in Oregun, Ikeja. After waiting for 3 hours without getting a single drop of petrol, I took a casual stroll around the filling station.

Just beside the NNPC station is a gigantic building with 4 cranes working on it simultaneously. I checked the board and discovered that it belongs to the Latter Day Assembly of Pastor Tunde Bakare.

The irony of everything is that Tunde Bakare supported PMB and also convened the Save Nigeria Group which tackled GEJ during the fuel price increase.

5 years after the Occupy Nigeria protests which I participated in and spearheaded by the Save Nigeria Group, Tunde Bakare is building a mammoth church structure and I'm in a filling station next door, wasting my hours over a few litres of fuel. Since Buhari came on board, Tunde Bakare and his fellow activists have become quiet. Imagine someone like Tam David-West keeping mum in a period of fuel scarcity. It's either they are complicit or they're ashamed of Buhari.

Guys, I won't lie to you, Nigeria can never get better again. This country is beyond redemption. Don't let our religious leaders fool you, our Pastors' kids are all abroad. Even Sani Yerima who introduced Sharia law im Nigeria ran off to the UK for his children to be born there. GEJ, Buhari, Yar Adua, Tinubu, Akpabio, Ekwueme etc all go abroad for medical trips, is that in our budget?

The only thing that can get better is your individual condition. As for Nigeria, it is finished, we're just fighting over the carcass.

Cheers.

I don't know what is more funny to me: The fact that they beat Man Utd like a drum or the funny reactions of United fans.

Isn't it ironic that the court determines who should stand for an election, who got the majority of lawful votes cast, who the certificate of return should be handed to, who should be sworn in and who should be disqualified from an election.

We are in a Judicratic system of government. Do your best and let your lawyers handle the rest.

lilytender:
The report says that she had two Bureau de Change offices while she was a staff of Zenith Bank. That is how rogue bankers sink the country's economy and devalue our currency. She would get dollars at 180 naira during pilgrimage period illegally using her position and buy thousands of dollars. Later, she will take the dollars to her illegal Bureau de Change to sell at 400 naira. The thief will still queue behind her fellow pigs and idiots to accuse Buhari for the fallen naira.

I know because I worked in Zenith Bank for about three years. If you are coming here to quote and abuse me. I AM READY FOR YOU.

As for the idiot that killed her, the thunder that will fire him is the same one that fired the Lagos tout Oba Akiolu when he misbehaved to Ooni of Ife.

Bar man, give this guy a crate of whatever he drinks.
Put the bill in the 2018 budget.

That's Abubakar Sani Bello of Niger State.

Aloma Mariam Mukhtar was an Alhaja who was a Chief Justice of Nigeria. She used a head covering which showed her hair as commanded by Islam and her ears were visible as commanded by law.

There are tons of Muslim judges, SANs, lawyers and magistrates who are Alhajas but didn't follow this madness.

What I see about this whole matter is just plain mischief. There are 3 compulsory dinners every aspirant to the Nigerian bar must attend while in the Law School. This lady didn't use her hijab to any of them but decided to wear it for her call to bar. If she wore hijabs to her dinners, she won't have been allowed to participate.

The idea behind wearing hijabs is to cover your unclothedness. When you do so, you're obeying the religious commandment. It doesn't matter if you're doing so with hijab, a nylon bag or you're wearing a canopy.

The Sultan is talking of hijabs here when his daughter who graduated from a University in the UK didn't wear a hijab. Since he's an Islamic leader, why didn't he allow her study law in Saudi?
Even Sani Yerima had his wife run to the US to give birth to his children after confusing paupers in Nigeria with his Sharia law.

These leaders would be pretending to be defenders of Islanm but they run to the US and UK when they want to give birth because they want to birth citizens. Why can't they go to Saudi?

NoToPile:
Lool most tenants and even landlords don't know this, you will see a tenant owing some months rent and still expect to be given a six month notice.


I have seen tenants that will deliberately not pay simply because they want to force the landlord to give them a quit notice thinking they will be entitled to a six month notice again.

There are a lot of evil people our there who's aim is to cheat.

I have someone who had a troublesome tenant who vandalised the house and threatened other occupants. Before the tenancy expired, the landlord was apprehensive, I told him to cool down. The tenant was saying he was going to stay there indefinitely if he doesn't get 6 months notice.

I told the landlord to calm down and wait for the rent to expire. Before the rent expired, I wrote the tenant that his rent had increased from 2M to 24M per annum. The tenant thought it was a joke, but once his rent expired, he was served with a letter of intention to recover premises.

Immediately the 7 days expired, the landlord took the tenant to court. One of the reliefs claimed by the landlord was that the court should order the tenant to pay rent for rent for the extra time spent in the house at the new rate. The implication was that the tenant would pay per extra month what he was paying per annum before.

Sometimes, bad people try to oppress good people through using the Law. It's left for good people to use the Law to protect themselves also.

alstacs:
I guess that time frame/limit of 7 days was set because the tenure of tenancy is monthly rather than annual as recommended by the Lagos tenancy law

Wrong.
The Tenancy Law does not recommend one form of tenancy over another. Annual tenancies are the most common particularly for residential properties.

alstacs:
By implication, the landlord is wrong for collecting annual rent as against monthly on the one hand

You're wrong here also

alstacs:
On the second hand, 7 days per month will give you roughly 3 months if you pay per annum. So I guess intent to recover and the vacation of the property by the tenant should enjoy the 3 months grace.

So, going by your analogy, if someone enters a lease for 3 years, he's entitled to 18 months quit notice?
You want a tenant to pay for 12 months and enjoy 3 months free?

For annual tenancies, once your rent hasn't expired, you're entitled to 6 months quit notice. If it's expired, the tenant gets 7 days.

Origin:
The law school should rise above its rules and recognize people have diverse human rights which they need to uphold.

A lawyers' wig is not affected by the wearing of an hijab. Especially when its not worn for the sole intention of flouting rules. Her hijab is her way of life and is worn 247.

How many Magistrates and Judges wear hijab?
Aloma Mukhtar was a Muslim lady, an Hajia and CJN, was she wearing hijab?
Does it reduce the piety of those not wearing hijab?

This is the legal profession and not pepper seller's union. Your opinion or otherwise wouldn't change the way things are done here.

mangadm123:
Can i get a plot of land at 3million Naira at Ikeja area?
That's my budget and it must only be at Ikeja becos of my bizness. Genuine agents in the house, i need your input or if anyone has for sale within that rate should kindly quote me

Take a long look at your money cos it's about to leave you. The cheapest price you can get genuine land in Ikeja with complete documents is circa 40,45M.

You want to buy land for 3M in Ikeja when they're renting 4 bedroom flat for 2.5M?

AuroraB:
So, I'm trying to figure out how easy it is not to issue a quit notice before 'throwing one's things out' It's no longer a law or what?

If in parts of Lagos covered by the Lagos State Tenancy Law, once the tenancy has expired by reason of time, the tenant is entitled to only seven days Notice of intention to recover premises. It's in the Tenancy Law 2011, but most tenants don't know and that's what puts them in trouble.

tpapi:
why is dat it. takes more than one year to evict a tenant when d case finally gets to d court, is it case of d decay in d judicial system or what do u think

Various factors.
Overburdened justice system, legal bottlenecks, delay tactics by parties. However, from experience,where both parties clear things from the onset, there's less likelihood of friction and room for misunderstanding.

Feranchek:
Bros na you I dey find since!! I'm not trying to play a fast one on him like many people have been saying. Like I said in my OT, I have the money to renew but I don't want to and the money with me at the moment won't be enough to rent the kinda house I want to cos I maybe staying pretty long in my new post and location. AuroraB seem to understand perfectly what I'm saying. Like she told a dude earlier, which actually the problem here, the frequency of the message couple with his antecedents, has made dialogue seem like a very big deal. My question is actually HOW DO I HANDLE HIM BY JAN 1ST TILL END cos this one wey my rent norva end and he dey send me messages like this, what will happen when my rent eventually ends and I'm at his mercy??

Really need you to reply this.
Thanks.

When does your rent expire?

Find a way to communicate with your landlord tell him you got his several messages. Tell him you'll be leaving in February ending (even if you want to leave by Jan ending).

Also, tell him you don't want to owe him before you leave. He won't ask you to pay for the full year, you'll pay for only the time you'll be spending there. If you do that, you shouldn't have problems.

If he refuses, then you'll treat him as an unreasonable person. There's something you would do that you won't pay anything before you leave in Jan ending.

TonyCoaL01:
Thanks jare. Let them know�

Look around you, the wealthiest people around, what did they study in school?

You're talking about Dangote's children, what did Dangote do that he was able to secure his children's future? This attitude of blaming others for your present state won't help you grow.

Go and think about what you can do that brings value to people, something they're willing to pay for. That's how wealth is generated. You provide goods and services to those willing to pay for it.

The most successful people aren't defined by what they studied in school but what they do after studying in school.

Chin up bro, you're one day closer to your breakthrough!

linearity:
You no say for 9ja context, suing the landlord for harassment will be a waste of time.

He should just ignore the guy, block his number and make sure he pays his rent on time, month to month until he moves.

Lol.
He moved in as a yearly tenant, now wants to change it into a monthly tenancy?

He better pray he doesn't jam someone like me.

frenzyduchess:
well the bolded indicates you are not in the category of people I was referring to, you cook cos you don't want to eat out, the example I used has passion for cooking and is even a chef, you can't compare both

You have a point.

frenzyduchess:
exactly, imagine having to cook for bae and he enters kitchen to cook his own, e get as e be na, I personally don't want a man that can cook more than me,atleast if he can cook concoction rice that's enough for me

Don't let your insecurity deprive you of a wonderful relationship.

I cook pretty well and even find it difficult to eat out cos of the nonsense most people cook here in Lagos. I'm single and cook my meals. However, when bae comes over, she takes over the kitchen. Whatever she cooks is final.

Na condition make man dey enter kitchen.

linearity:
But, sending him a txt everyday on the subject when the OP’s rent is not even due is harassment.

The OP does not owe him a renewal notice if the agreement did not state that. Most agreements defaults to month-to-month contract after the initial tenure.

Then, he should sue the landlord for harassment but pay the rent.

Funny responses everywhere.

As a lawyer, I come in contact with various kinds of people who show 50 shades of madness both landlords and tenants.

What I do is that once an property is being let out, I prepare the 'Tenancy agreement, Quit notice and Intention to Recover Premises' at the same time.

Immediately the tenant signs his tenancy agreement, he gets his quit notice also. The Quit notice is dated a year ahead and terminates exactly the day the tenancy expires. Also, I hand the Intention to recover premises to the landlord to use it as a joker once the tenancy expires.

Those advising the OP to sit tight and prove stubborn won't be there to help him carry his luggage when thrown out. Also, the court would make him pay for every extra day spent on the property.

One comedian even said the OP should hire an SAN, Nairalanders sha! The OP's annual rent is not enough to pay an SAN to sign a single letter.
