EgunMogaji recognizes all those things and more.

EgunMogaji is a jovial as well as an eccentric Nigerian, but above all a staunch religion man who doesn't wear his religion on his sleeves. Not a quran or bible thumper.

Like an onion, he needs to be peeled, layer by layer, to fully grasp and understand him. Those with patience and good fortune to take the time have earned a true friend.

That's my story, where's my prize? grin

@ mavverick, who big roundabout epp?

Surprised to hear that there are Roundabout Landlords. People collecting unbelievable rent at every big roundabouts causing obstruction in Lekki/Epe expressway.
The roundabout were strategically positioned to cause gridlocks and draw attention.

They're also into property investment. They only have a different target market.

Quick advice needed...my carpenter just stole leftovers of my decking woods. I do not know exactly how many he stole, because I didnt count. I had plans for those woods, and they may be needed for upper floor woodworks. Anyone had similar experience? Should I arrest him?
N:B I owe him no kobo even though he has had to redo some works. Please dont advice me to let go, except you're ready to refund some money. Dollar don cost.
If he's good workman, invite him over for newer job and get your money back from him.

But try and establish he's the one who stole your woods. It won't be fair to punish an innocent person.

That was very easy, the shape of the dormer roof gave it away sha.
The bridge for 4th mainland, is that picture you posted the actual design, what are those small roundabouts ? and where are they ?
I dont also see an intersection/yield or exit to link the smaller roundabouts onto the bridge ?

Who do you think will be the winners and loosers if the bridge is constructed, Ikorodu is not necessarily an employment hub like VI or Lagos CBD etc. Which do you think is better ROI wise Ibeju or Ikorodu ?

I guess people who live in the mainland would benefit more, but dam the traffic would be really bad. Its already bad as it is, one of my neighbors needs to leave the house @ 5AM just to get to Ikoyi. Just insane. I hope the Ajah bridge will mitigate that though, as long as danfos dont load by the bridge elevation/start.
I'll go for Ibeju over Ikorodu for upscale development. If it's low cost affordable housing and other public commercial buildings, I'll do Ikorodu.

Back to the matter, do you think that the Abraham Adesanya round about is going to be the link it looks rather small to me, anyway all the round abouts in the Lekki /Epe expressway are all flawed and rather dangerous, makes the road lanes really narrow wen you are on the roundabout, so if you are unlucky to be in the middle lane, they can jam you from either side. We have a very big roundabout, who big ROUNDABOUT EPP ?? when its not roundabout meat grin

By the way, when I try to download the master plan from the urban development ministry website, the link is broken. Do you have a copy of the latest master plan that you can upload here or perhaps send to me. I am intrigued to see where the bridge will land, and the massive pollution it will cause for those of us around that axis.

I would have seriously thought by the water side/ river / lagoon in Badore will not disturb anyone.

@Brabus, do you remember the picture below ? where was it ?

@ Maverrick, try and call up Google map to check the areas in pic. I'll try and get the perfect coordinates when I'm back in town.

You'll observe from the picture of the master plan that the bridge didnt start from Ajah roundabout. It is after Abraham Adesanya roundabout and it cut off cooperative villas estate BADORE to langbasa.

From cooperative villas you'll actually have a view of some part of Sangotedo (Splash, Lekki Garden 1 and Oko-Ado). The bridge seems to have happen before that area but not before LBS. So it's in between Happyland and LBS through Badore to Langbasa.

Interesting one Brabus
I though a bridge of such a magnitude would need a very huge connection to the Lekki/Epe Expressway, that area you mentioned unless one is going to have a massive roundabout or some other kind of flyover to link to the bridge, it would be hard wouldn't it.

There was always talk of Badore, as in taking off from there and the sensible thing to do might be a road linking Badore from Lekki/Epe onto the bridge approach. I dont really know Badore and how built up it is, so hard to say. But around LBS/Happyland is rather narrow and too small for a bridge approach IMO.
I'm out of town now. I'll show you the serous earthworks ongoing in the area I suspected the bridge will pass to LBS.

People in BADORE/Oke-Ira side of Ajah should be aware of this by now. Theres actually unmotorable road from BADORE/Remnek/Oke-Ira to link Abraham Adesanya on motorbike instead of coming through Addo/Ajah road.

This is the kind of thing I enjoy taking an helicopter ride to see.

I've seen the road but have not plied it. But I know I'm seeing buildings around LBS though I'm yet to confirm which one it is.

If you check the master plan if the road network you'll see the bridge is coming out after Abraham Adesanya roadabout. Exactly position yet unknown.

Properties › Re: 4th Mainland Bridge - Houses To Be Demolished! by n3xt(op): 6:42am On May 27, 2016
As the MOU for the proposed 4th Mainland Bridge, which completes the circle of the missing ring around Lagos, was signed by Governor this week, a lot of side talks and discussions have been ongoing on the execution of the project. Some are for, some are against, some are dismissing it as a white elephant project, some called it a great laxity in the part of the government, some called it sheer waste of public fund. While all this is going, some set of people like me are considering the fate of the owners of the properties that will be affected during the construction of the bridge and the road Furnitures.
Now, read on if you're like me and the last set of people of are positive that one day a government will definitely take the project up.

In the past, political expediency, corruption and court injunctions have slowed down such efforts. Though some "lapalapa" projects by unserious governments has always witness a rush to demolish buildings considered illegal or built on proposed roads immediately after he big announcement, only to stop once the media spotlight fades and the project goes into oblivion.

More than 800 buildings have been earmarked for demolition and some thousand titles of land in areas considered for this project are set to be cancelled.

This should put the homeowners and property developers within the said areas on their heels to minimize the loss by confirming from the local planning authority the exact areas that'll be affected, removing all valuables prior to government demolition, stop work where necessary, but what do we have - a set of people setting stage for legal battles/face off with the government for planning to develop her state. undecided

I've been hearing about proposals for 4th mainland bridge for over one and half decades now. Isn't that sufficient time for a wise property owner to do proper verification of their properties?

As can be imagined, owners of buildings earmarked for demolition will head to court to get injunctions to bar the government from demolishing their structures. And the number could go if more owners, motivated by the successful injunctions, decide to also seek legal redress.

Now, let me ask "are we not the architect of our own misfortune?"


Ill be right back with more information.

Properties › 4th Mainland Bridge - Houses To Be Demolished! by n3xt(op): 5:07am On May 27, 2016
Someone asked me yesternight "Where will the 4th Mainland bridge pass?" "Which part of Ajah/BADORE will be affected?"

Here's my thought:

For minimal damage and prevention of economic loss, I foresee the 4th mainland bridge coming from somewhere between PAN African University and Happyland Estate or nearby location about 1km to either sides, passing through the undeveloped lands and govt lands around the area, avoiding Cooperative Villas, cutting through BADORE road between Folarin bus stop - Greenville estate or nearby about 500m to either sides and landing at langbasa and then over the lagoon to Ikorodu.

Anyone with a property around this areas should go and confirm with the local planning authority early enough the area for the proposed realignment early enough in order to avoid the story that touch.


Just my thought though. My hunch is never wrong and ongoing activities with that area and especially BADORE to somewhere between PAN African university and Splash Bar further confirms the truth.

Things to check for:

- Government excisions around the areas mentioned above
- Areas where govt refuses to give approvals, consents and CofO
- A large parcel of undeveloped govt land around you which was clearly avoided by the land urchins (Omo Onile)
- Areas with slow growth and development despite being at prime areas
- Too good to be true land transactions.

Happy Building!

I'm looking for a plumber as we as an electrician for my build in Elebu, Ibadan.

My requirements are as follows (but not limited to):

@ Good quality work.
@ Willingness to try innovative work.
@ An actual artisan, not a supervisor or director.
@ Reasonably priced, I will compare prices locally. Nothing will please me more than to hire a fellow Nairalander but not at an unreasonable (my word) premium.
@ Prefer someone with camera phone and WhatsApp (I'll cover the data fees during my project for you).

Thanks in advance for your recommendations.
I have a st.upid boy from Ibadan. He did 95% of NextHome projects including the chateaus, H52, the reserve, Plot 10AB to mention few.

I dropped him when he chose to dine with one of my enemy like Judas.

He perfectly fit your requirement and the added advantage is that he lives in Mokola, Ibadan.
I can vouch for his competence and ability to do the job to your satisfaction with little or no supervision.


Pics: Few pics of jobs done.


If you want encyclopedia of his work, I can mail it to you.
