Please can I pm you, I want to share something with you

Alright

I'm a real estate lawyer and by virtue of my job, I've come across different countless kinds of Omoniles. I mean, I have been faced by Omoniles with charms, I once had a disagreement with Omoniles on site only to narrowly escape a terrible accident on my way back to the office, I have had several crazy experiences with Omoniles. Let me give 3.

First one was in Agboyi in Ogudu, Lagos. Client bought a plot of land and wanted to start work. Omonile boys came and said he had to pay them before he starts. They chased off his workers and seized the tools. Then, the Property Protection Law of Lagos wasn't in existence. Client called me and was panicking. I told him to calm down. I met with the Omoniles and bought 2 Schnapps for them. I noticed that their leader was the most quiet one and got his phone number. Over the weekend, I called him and asked him to supply us 4 tipper loads of sand. After that, he personally helped us negotiate with the family from 400k to 50k and we paid it in 2 installments. After that day, we didn't have a problem.

Second one happened late last year. A vast portion of land running into acres was bought by someone for investment and when he wanted to start work, Omoniles brought court summons that they had a lawsuit against the family which sold to him. According to them, my client bought from the wrong family, but they refused to raise this until the elderly man who sold to my client died.

The first meeting I had with them ended up on a rancorous note. On my way back, the driver of my vehicle lost control at high speed. We narrowly escaped somersaulting. After that day, I told the Omoniles to go get a lawyer for me to talk to as I wasn't interested in discussing with them anymore. When they got a lawyer, the first question I asked him was "do you want to make case or make money?". From that point, we found a way to resolve it.

The third one, the Omoniles resold a land they initially sold to my client. I got the Baale arrested and promised to write a petition to the State Commissioner for Chieftaincy Affairs that he should be removed from office. I don't know how he did it but my client got his land back and 3 plots extra as compensation.

Omoniles require diplomacy, strong hand, generosity and street smartness in dealing with them. Once they see that you're not afraid and if they mess up, you'll deprive them of getting money. They would avoid getting into your bad books.

why in the first place did they took 13acres which they didn't pay fir

Did you read the report and the judgement?

Winners should get a valuation report stating that the land is worth 10 Million in total. Expert evidence is best countered by contrary expert evidence. If they keep using word of mouth to counter expert evidence, they would regret it.

Theory!

My classmate in the University got compensated by Zenith Bank cos they didn't allow him leave their branch for just 30 mins. They said he was rough and looked suspicious. New Era Foundation wrote them and he got paid 3M with plenty 'we are sorry sir' around 2007.

I have personally called a First Bank branch manager on phone and explained the implications of his actions as regards banker-customer confidentiality and he came from his branch outside Lagos to Ikeja to beg.

2 years ago, I got a Police ASP locked up in Lagos for slapping my client at Ikeja Shoprite.

So, don't put mouth in what you don't know.

Maxymilliano:
I believe there are terms and conditions attached to the loan which obviously she skipped while appending her signature to the loan application.

Default in loan repayment comes with penalties, while in equal vein, detaining the debtor without any legal pronouncement is against the law, as the company could be held liable for kidnapping/abduction.

Most microfinance banks are barely surviving the harsh business clime

So, kidnapping is a consequence of loan default?

If the family of this woman can manage this issue very well, they would make a fortune from the stupidity of this Microfinance kidnapping institution.

Selling

Let me go look for a few plots opposite this place and tie money there. The landowners there have been telling me, but I've been avoiding scams. Will finally buy it before their prices skyrocket.

My condolences to the bereaved.

Pls, either blur out sensitive parts of that death certificate or take it down. It is a very private document and shouldn't be pasted in public like this.

Why can't the Surveyor get in touch with a lawyer "he is cool working with"? It is because you believe the lawyer is more important than the Surveyor! All professionals in a land transaction are equally important.

Surveyors ideally are the first point of call in transactions. They obtain coordinates and chart if it's free from government acquisition and if there is no "fly-over" in the survey plan, etc. They give the necessary go ahead before lawyers move in to verify documents.

However, due to the nature of our society, most real estate buyers are afraid of being scammed and falling into wrong deals. They believe that a lawyer is the best protection they have against losing their money. For them, it goes beyond just buying the land. They expect that at any part of the transaction chain from negotiation to purchase and perfection, the lawyer is relevant and walks them through the process (whether the lawyer is competent enough to do that boils down to individual capacity). When they eventually build, it is the lawyer who manages the property (which is the job of Estate Surveyors and Valuers under NIESV).

As a smart professional, it is better you have many trusted friends with integrity across the various professions in the real estate value chain. That way, you all grow together.

MrMcJay Good morning, pls i also had a very similar experience, infant the house is completed, just to paint and fix the doors. I paid him 60% of the money in a bid to secure the place according to him since 7th December 2019. He was claiming the landlord will be back from the states to complete the house that i should wait. Till today he keeps telling me stories. I have asked for a refund he claimed he has done the transfer to my account but i know its a lie coat i didn't see any money. What do I do pls

Tell him you give him 24 hours to refund your money in full, failing which you would involve the Police.

Report him to the police. Tell them he defrauded you and threatened your your life if you report to the Police.

I don't think they are entitled to 10% of the entire sum to

Are they processing the deceased person's ENTITLEMENTS or they are claiming to help process the LETTER OF ADMINISTRATION? They are 2 different things o.

Tell them to put what they want to collect in writing. If it's illegal, they won't agree to put it in writing.

If you're ready to involve the US Government, FBI and Paxful Executives themselves in getting your coins out, let me know. However, your hands must be clean.

Send me a PM

Smartchoiice:
That guy is NOT interested in clearing the container anytime soon

That's very sad to hear.

Call twice, send a message the third time.

Anything more than that, you should be regarded as a stalker and a nuisance.
