Brethren, verily I say unto you, it is impossible for Amadioha to cross River Niger and strike someone in Ibadan, that is the duty of Sango. How much more going as far as the UK.

90% of the wailers on NL are barely literate & would still refuse to stay in their lanes..

Dullard government that have achieved nothing since 5 months of his administration.

Bro, you need urgent educational and mental 'renovation'.

thotsofnaij:
Blame Obasanjo for signing the useless decree that gave the hausa fulani all the land in Nigeria indirectly cause he who controls the government controls the land.

I'm not looking at apportioning blames, I'm thinking of solutions.

The Managing Director of the Lekki Free Zone Ltd, Mr. Tajudeen Disu is among persons killed as Ibeju-Lekki villagers and mobile police officers clashed in Okunraiye community near Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos, this morning. Tajuden Disu

The villagers said they were on a peaceful protest against "forceful takeove[/b]r" of their land by the Lagos state government on behalf of Africa’s richest industrialist, Aliko Dangote and the Lekki Free Zone Ltd when policemen attacked them reportedly killing two of the protesters instantly.

The villagers said the killing resulted in a crisis.

A local chief in the area told Saharareporters that the Lekki Free Zone Ltd called in anti-riot policemen of "Mopol 49" to kill the protesters because they had insisted too long ago against [b]forceful acquisition of the community land by the Lekki Free Zone Ltd for the construction of a large petrochemical refinery owned by Mr. Dangote. The chief said the Mopol were led and supervised to the protest scene by Managing Director of the Lekki Free Zone Ltd, Mr. Disu.

But Mr. Disu was also among those downed as the police officers guarding him and protesters clashed, according to the local chief. One of the police officers was also feared dead. The community has been taken over by soldiers reinforced to the community as the crisis escalated.

When Government acquires land for public use, the owners are entitled to adequate compensation (emphasis on adequate). Over time, what the Lagos State Government does is that it acquires large parcels of land (e.g 500 Hectares) for public uses. Now, when the villagers apply for excision of their land, they get a little portion of it back (e.g 80 Hectares). Apart from this released portion, there is no financial compensation to these families for the 420 Hectares of land taken from the family. The Government relies on the Land Use Act to perpetrate this fraud.

A little portion of the 420 Hectares (e.g 100 Hectares) is then used for government purposes while the remaining 320 Hectares is then shared by the powers that be in the form of GRAs, Estates and other land holdings. This has been done since the time of Raji Rasaki up to Fashola.

I think the Government needs to carry the indigenous land owners in projects like this. There should be adequate compensation paid and effective dispute resolution techniques applied.

Please what is the difference between kerosene and fuel?

The spellings.

1. OP, write an email containing a strongly-worded petition of Fraud by the chap in the US and attach the pieces of evidence you have (softcopies).

2. Address your petition to the American Embassy in Nigeria. Also, copy INTERPOL Nigeria. Don't sent the mail yet.

3. Send a copy of the Fraud Petition to the guy in US and tell him you'll be expecting to hear from his lawyers soonest. Send it to his sister also.

4. Go to bed and let the magic of your mail take effect. You'll be surprised at the outcome. Everything is not for the court. This one is more deadly.

**Whatever you do, pls don't send that petition to the US embassy or Interpol. If you do, he'll be deported ASAP and he won't ever forgive you.**

The only way he can be helped is to get him a job. If he has a proper job, he won't be trekking at 9am on Monday morning like a vagabond.

Why trekking to Ghana? Maybe he is involved in importation business or he wants to buy Ghana bread for the IDPs. If he is really trekking for the IDPs, why doesn't he trek from Lagos to Sambisa?

bmxshop:
So Hilarious.

The man is sick, but his manhood lives on. She didn't want to leave the goat with the yam.

All those countering the story created their accounts today. Unilag employed dumb clowns to launder its image.

While many useful topics are rotting away, this is the nonsense that the mods deemed fit to be on the front page.

obum88:
We have not tried such in Nigeria. I heard it is cheaper and durable. Let's give it a shot. I pray it works

Why use Abians as Guines pigs? Go and google concrete road construction and see the nonsense those guys are doing with shovels. Do you think Abians deserve this rubbish?

obum88:
Please where is you construction company?

And don't call the governor names he is not part of the company. By the way what project has your president carried out

My bro, if you see the truth, say it as it is. It is reasoning like this that made Aba the mess it is today. If the contract was for asphalt roads, why use cement?

The mess going to be created by the cement roads would be worse than the one he is trying to patch up.

slimzypink:
i want to cook jollof rice...do i need rice?

No, all you need is jollof.

tuniski:
Dankwambo of Gombe will do the trick. PDP only needs to get 20% of the votes in the north not, that they have to win it. The rest will be like film trick. Buhari is no longer having that mojo of pre election he is on the throne now and day by day he loses goodwill. It is a normal thing to be highly rated before u get to office and decline afterwards but, buhari's Decline is swift!

GEJ had 20% of Northern votes and he still lost.

BlackBaron:
Great read. Unfortunately, most of the stuff listed there was tried out. Seems all to be done is strict enforcement against these jobless thugs.

I agree. These thugs have the patronage of the top guns at LASG.

Too many useless topics on the FrontPage lately. Either topics that promote tribal mudslinging or outrightly insane topics like this.

Uche, face your work!

vpaymoney:
One lawyer says he can't do it less than 100k. Dunno what's dia problem?

Why don't you go to the CAC office closest to you and appeal to those guys making photocopies outsode. They may direct you to someone who would do it for a lesser amount.

BlackBaron:
Let me just add something about omo onile. I know someone building a property who's paid up a few times and now confronted with another payment for the roofing stage. What can be done if possible...

I'll look into the locations listed and so.

Paying Omonile boys is unavoidable but can be minimized if handled with wisdom and tact as it takes a lot of experience to handle them.

Also, there are various factors which influence the payment made to the Omonile boys such as: the location of the land, the families there, the sort of relationship the owner of the land has cultivated with the Omonile boys.

However, you can work on their greed by offering them contracts for supply of building materials in exchange for reduced Omonile fees and security of your land.

Read the topic below, it's very important. The author is an authority in matters like this.

OP, which University did you graduate from?

Mileencoast:
Badagry is great if that's where you want

The residential area is

Agbara
At an
Okun afan

These are residential areas

Atan and Oko Afo can't be described as Upscale by modern standards. Besides, Atan and Agbara fall under Ado-Odo/Ota LGA in Ogun State while the poster specified Lagos.

Except he intends to live and work in those areas, I'll honestly advise that he looks for somewhere in Lagos mainland or close areas as even Badagry is very far from Lagos.

BlackBaron:
Thanks very much. Best response so far.
It's more residential.

Also what do you think about Badagry if I may ask?

If you intend to work in and intend to commute from Lagos while living in Badagry? No!

If you want to build a house in a quiet environment with natural sea breeze? Yes!

If you want to acquire a lagoon-front land and build on minimum budget? Yes!

State your budget and the kind of environment you desire and I may be able to assist.

BlackBaron:
Hi
Quick question.
Looking for the best possible place to buy land in Lagos. Upscale, (but not keen on the Lekki/VI movement) Or if anywhere else possible to buy from. Sorry if wrong thread.

It depends on if you are buying for residential ot commercial purposes. You may try any of the following areas:

1. Ikoyi
2. Ikeja GRA
3. Magodo GRA
4. Apapa GRA
5. Ogudu GRA

EgunMogaji:
The only credible thing that you wrote is bolded. Everything else was just emotional lashing out.

Good luck to OP on his project.

Egun Mogaji out.

Have a great day sir.

EgunMogaji:
Hopefully the OP will disregard your archaic suggestion to engage in gender discrimination.

Where we are its a crime and its anti progressive.

All students regardless of gender deserves a good and safe living arrangement.

Say what you will, but you can't dispute the issues I raised. The building belongs to the OP, and it is his perogative to decide who stays where on his property.

I'm not discriminating based on gender, I'm quite knowledgeable on issues like this and I'm speaking from experience.

If you doubt me, go and compare the male and female hostels of any university in Nigeria to see the difference in maintenance culture of the occupants.

FYI, it's not a crime for me to decide that my students hostel is a Ladies hostel. Don't talk about what you don't know.

This is a criminal case, and only the police can prosecute it. There is very little a lawyer can do.

Instead, get cops from Federal SARS at Adeniji-Adele or Lagos State SARS to pick the landlord, the developer, the agent, and everyone connected to the building. When they spend a month there, they would understand what 'change' means.

Onuokwu:
You neva meet runs girls be dat!

Lol.

Even every runs girls still like to have her own personal space. Unlike guys that would turn their rooms into barracks.

OP, when letting out your property to students, you should give preference to females. They pay higher for student apartments and care more or their for their surroundings.

Besides, they don't crowd their rooms with live-in friends.

The British knows if they make the mistake of touching Alison, that will be the end of UK's oil companies in Niger Delta.


Quote me anywhere

As if Ibori isn't in a British jail. You these these guys have time for your empty threats?

OP, this is an exception and not the norm.

The basic instinct of man is self preservation and the second to this is sexual instinct. To say that your need for company overshadows your sexual instinct is a lie (according to Mother Nature).

If you think you can control yourself, good for you. I just hope your friends can control themselves too.
