Properties / Re: 25 Signs Of A Fraudulent Real Estate Company And How To Avoid Them by opalu: 12:34pm On Dec 11, 2023
When I was a young boy, I use to ask God "Why do you allow the Bad people to be so many and good people so few"?
But when I went to school to study Civil Engineering I understood the answer to that childhood question. I spent years to study Civil Engineering from a Federal polytechnic. Then with Direct Entry entered a Federal University to study Civil Engineering. And after NYSC went to study MSc Structural Engineering and became COREN-Certified.

When I started building houses and roads, I noticed one strange occurrence. When client come to a real professional, they price tiny amount. But when they go to Fake business people with sweet mouths, they spend huge amounts. And when they get duped they blame "Nigerian Engineers" or "real estate companies" generally. Thus they lump the good with the bad.

The bad people are there to attend to clients who don't value truth spoken by the good.

I have built houses for more than 100 Nairaland users out of more than 1800 houses I have built in my 4 and half decades on earth so far. I have run adverts here also. But one incident that happened was when a client I got here was owing me an amount and he reported me to one Mufutau55 who appeared as a Mod then. That Mufutau guy without hearing me out started shouting on phone "You Nigerian Engineers like duping Foreign-based clients". I was so pissed with that statement. It was the my UK-based client that was owing me more than N2m for a particular milestone in his building. Yet he kept reporting me here and there. So I went to my bank and printed out my statement. When I extracted the facts and sent to him, that evening he sent me N1.5m out of my money he was owing with apologies.
Yet that Nairaland Mod called Ahajj Muftau had insulted me and even deleted my major post on Nairaland for what I did nothing about.

Please God-fearing builders here, keep doing the good and while at it, dont allow fraudulent clients to dupe you because you re based in Nigeria. There are good-hearted highly experienced experts here in Nigeria who will never run away or japa from here for anything. I am one of such.

Wike give u and face the tedious work of making the lives of FCT residents to be better. Abuja is one glorified town. Development is just concentrated at the centre and more than 70% of those who live in Abuja don't actually live in Abuja. They live in Nassarwa and Niger States

When your time to shine comes and you cannot PREPARE AND PRACTICE ADEQUATELY, your star will fall. That is why so many expire.

Those who even have confidence in the judiciary are really trying. It is better to trust an untrustworthy Obirin than to trust a Nigerian Judge.

How do you think Nigerians will have faith in Supreme Court Judgement? We already know what they will rule. So let us be.

If SANWOOLU doesn't sack the MD of Lagos State Environmental, they will ruin his government las las. Nigerians are already at the verge of giving up, and this one who has an evil vow to push more businesses into collapse and throw more workers into joblessness is working day and night to cause another gbege. You better leave businesses alone let them manage themselves. Running on Diesel alone unimaginable yet u keep shutting them down
