Here is Agege train station in Lagos under PDP when oil sold at $120 with trillions earned in 16 years. Compare it with APC's version with oil selling at $40. The APC Agege train station is 95% completed and can be accessed from the east of Shiaba street or by Pedro bus stop.

These are the set of people that will feel the brunt of lockdown:

1. NURTW - Like most Nigerians, NURTW drivers and conductors, live by the day, with the additional 14 days, it means no work, no delivery.

2. Agberos - Closely related to the above are agberos that collect money at every bus stop and junctions

3. Betting Agencies - These group loss of revenue is due to sporting lockdown world wide. Also because of no work, most people can't patronise them

4. Canteen Food Sellers - Most offices are closed, no customers; Ghana High is a good example

5. Eatries - Just like number 4 above, patronage is low.

6. Mechanics - Many people only warm their cars/vehicles without driving out

7. People selling in the traffic - Gala and drink sellers are feeling it.

8. Police /LASTMA/ Traffic Warden - No bus to catch

9. Cinema Houses - People can not gather to watch films

10. Add your own.

Hello dear nairalanders.

Please I'm going through a state of mental confusion.

Currently i have approximately 20 million and 300 thousand naira in my bank account.

I have two thoughts.

1) I am 25 years old but I'm not a university graduate, i only have ND (National deploma) from a polytechnic In Edo state, Auchi precisely.

I would have become a graduate years ago but after my "ND" years ago, i refused to go back to school and i decided to hustle for money.

Most of my classmates in school back then are all graduates but all the same, looking at my bank account now, i have no regrets.

So this is what i plan on doing.

1) Can i further my Education In any university in the United States with the money and plan on staying back after my degree, for the fact that I'm 25.
Will that be advisable?

2) should i stay back in Nigeria and use part of the money to build a house In my hometown in Benin and use the rest for business?

3) Is there a chance of going to USA and start all over again, look for job.
Will the money be enough to rent a house, foot some bills untill i see a job in the USA.

Note i choose USA only because it's my dream country, I'm not scared of the traveling ban because I'm 100% confident that it will be taken away few months from now.

Please i won't be replying any mention or questions.

All i want is to take note of good advice.

I already know a reliable traveling agent.

Please other suggestions are welcomed apart from mine.

Please help

I no get time to advice you shaa, so make i do copy and paste from my reading bits.



A tenancy may be terminated by either the landlord or the tenant.
Where a tenancy that was entered into for a specific period (i.e. six months) comes to the end of the six month period, a notice of termination does not have to be issued.
If that period was 6 months or more and the tenant intends to continue in occupation, he/she must inform the landlord of that intention between one and three months before the six month period ends.
It is important to note that it is an offence to purport to serve an invalid notice of termination and then act in reliance on it in a way that adversely affects the interests of the person on whom it was served.
It is vitally important for the party who intends to terminate the lease to serve a valid notice on the other party.

2. The landlord must serve a valid notice of termination on the tenant
A valid notice of termination must be:
(a) in writing
(b) signed by the landlord or by his/her authorised agent
(c) specify the date of service
(d) where the tenancy has been more than 6 months state the reason for termination.
(e) specify the termination date, the tenant has 24 hours from this date to leave.
(f) state that any issue as to the validity of the notice or the right of the landlord to serve it must be referred to the Private Residential Tenancies Board within 28 days from the receipt of the notice.
(g) The notice may be served on the tenant in person, may be left at the rented property, or may be posted to the property. If it appears that the tenant is not in occupation, the notice may be served on the outside of the property.

3. Notice periods
Subject to the terms of the lease (tenancy) the notice period to terminate a tenant’s tenancy is determined by the duration of the tenancy as follows:
(a) Less than 6 months 28 days notice
(b) 6 or more months but less than 1 year 35 days notice
(c) 1 year or more but less than 2 years 42 days notice
(d) 2 years or more but less than 3 years 56 days notice
(e) 3 years or more but less than 4 years 84 days notice
(f) 4 or more years 112 days notice
4. Valid reasons for terminating a tenancy that has lasted more than 6 months and less than 4 years
Where a tenancy has lasted more than 6 months and less than 4 years, the landlord must state in the termination notice the reason the tenancy is being terminated and the termination will not be valid unless that reason relates to one of the following:
(a) the tenant has failed to comply with the obligations of the tenancy.
(Unless the termination is for serious anti-social behaviour the tenant must have been given an opportunity to rectify the matter and have failed to have done so for the termination to be valid.)
(b) the landlord intends to sell the property within the next 3 months.
(c ) the property is no longer suited to the needs of the occupying household.
(d) the landlord requires the dwelling for own or family member occupation.
(e) vacant possession is required for substantial refurbishment of the property.
(f) the landlord intends to change the use of the property.
In the cases of (d), (e) and (f) of the listed termination grounds, the termination notice must contain certain additional details as specified in the Act relating to the former tenant being given first refusal to resume the tenancy should the property become available for re-letting.

5. The tenant must serve a valid notice of termination on the landlord
A valid notice of termination must be:
(a) in writing
(b) signed by the tenant
(c) specify the date of service
(d) specify the termination date (the tenant has 24 hours from this date to leave
(e) state that any issue as to the validity of the notice or the right of the tenant to serve it must be referred to the Private Residential Tenancies Board within 28 days from the receipt of the notice.
(f) The notice may be served on the landlord or his/her agent in person, or may be left at or posted to the landlord/agent contact address.

6. Notice periods
Subject to the terms of the lease (tenancy) the notice period to terminate a landlord’s tenancy is determined by the duration of the tenancy as follows:
(a) Less than 6 months: 28 days notice.
(b) 6 or more months but less than 1 year: 35 days notice.
(c) 1 year or more but less than 2 years: 42 days notice.
(d) 2 years or more but less than 3 years: 56 days notice.
(e) 3 years or more but less than 4 years: 84 days notice.
(f) 4 or more years: 112 days notice.
(g)The tenant need not supply a reason for terminating the tenancy except where terminating for a breach of the landlord’s obligations or where the required notice period is only 7 days.
(h) Notice of termination of tenancy with multiple tenants
Where the tenancy is let to a number of tenants jointly, the notice of termination will be valid if it is signed by any one of the multiple tenants on behalf of all the tenants. The other tenants must be named in the notice. A purported notice is not valid if the other named tenants have not agreed to its service.
(i) Deemed termination of tenancy by tenant
A tenancy is deemed to have been terminated by the tenant where the tenant has vacated the dwelling without giving the required amount of notice and is in arrears of rent or vacates without any notice and is at least 28 days in arrears of rent.

7. Lesser Notice Periods by Landlords and Tenants
(a) Only 7 days notice need be given by a landlord to a tenant where the termination notice results from serious anti-social behaviour by the tenant or behaviour that is threatening to the fabric of the property or the property containing it.
(b) Only 7 days notice need be given by the tenant to the landlord where the reason for the termination is that the behaviour of the landlord poses an imminent danger of serious injury or death or danger to the fabric of the property or the property containing the property.
(c) Otherwise the normal notice period for terminating a tenancy by reason of non-compliance with tenancy obligations is 28 days for both landlords and tenants where the failure has been notified in writing and not remedied within a specified period.
(d) Where the breach of the tenant’s obligations is a failure to pay the amount of rent due, a termination notice may only be served following the written notification by the landlord to the tenant of the amount owing and the rent still being owed 14 days after that notification is received.
(e) Landlords and tenants are free to agree a lesser notice period than those specified in the Act. However, such an agreement may only be entered into at or after the time that one of the parties indicates to the other the intention to terminate the tenancy. It is not, for example, legal to agree to a shorter notice period at the time the tenancy is being first entered into.

8. Greater Notice Periods by Landlords and Tenants
Tenants and landlords are free to agree longer notice periods than those specified in the Act. However the maximum notice period that can be given by either party to terminate a tenancy where the notice is being issued during its first 6 months is 70 days.

9. Sub-tenants
(a) When a landlord is terminating a tenancy that is sub-let, the landlord must notify the head-tenant of any requirement to terminate the subtenancy. If so, the landlord must also serve the sub-tenant with a copy of the notice of termination.
(b) Where the landlord wishes the head-tenant to terminate the sub tenancy, the head-tenant must serve a notice of termination on the subtenant within 28 days of the head-tenant’s receipt of the notice of termination from the landlord.
(c) If the head-tenant intends to refer a dispute to the Board about the validity of the termination, the notice served on the sub-tenant must require the sub-tenant to inform the head-tenant within 10 days whether or not the sub-tenant also wishes to dispute the validity of the termination and the head-tenant may not refer the dispute until 15 days after the service of that notice on the sub-tenant.

10. Where the landlord does not require the head-tenant to terminate the sub-tenancy
(a) the head-tenant must notify the sub-tenant within 28 days of the contents of the termination notice received.
(b) the head-tenant must also notify the sub-tenant if he/she intends to refer a dispute about the validity of the notice to the Board and of the outcome of the dispute within 14 days of receipt of the Board’s determination order.
(c) If the termination of the head-tenancy is found to be valid, the sub-tenant would then become the tenant of the landlord.

Good morning Nairalanders.
Please help a fellow with an advice this morning.

So, two weeks ago my landlord came to the compound, and said the caretaker who was handling the building for him was no longer in charge that they have parted ways.

Then we all complained of the state of affairs between tenants and how only some of us have been shouldering the responsibilities of repairs, and others are never contributing.

For the records, there are only four flats, two up and two down.

In his response, he said he was disappointed that we were not cooperating as neighbors.

Without proffering any solution, he left only for him to come this morning with quit notice for all for tenants.

That we should pack out two months after expiration of our various rent.

Now it should be noted that I have never owned him rent, and we pay yearly.

My current rent will expire April 30th 2019.

Now my question is this.

Is that how quit notices are served?

Is it right to give a tenant that pays yearly rent just two months to pack out?

I have never been involved with this landlord/tenant wahala, so don't know the best action to take.

Please legal people in the house, I need your advice.

Your advice will be very helpful in my next line of action.

God bless you all.


Help a brother by pushing it for me.

Very lucrative if you know your way just that many lawyers settle for less. For the new wig, it might be rough and discouraging but in all sincerity, it's just a matter of time. Many lawyers are making it big. In my own chambers, We have very good briefs as we handle election petitions and property deals.
To wet your appetite, do you know a single case can fetch you millions and nothing technical, just smartness. Law is a kind of profession that you can leave home penniless and return home that very day with millions. That's a fact.

Many chambers pay very poor some as low as 10k and this is due to the seniors in the profession, They are not helping matters. Don't eye the money for now, focus on acquiring skills then establish your own chamber and/or try to create partnership with your fellow colleagues. I'm still learning as well and that doesn't discourage me.

See the likes of Yusuf Alli, Wole Olanipekun, Ahmed Raji and Co. Some of them may be poorly paid then or not even paid at all, but now they command billions as professional fees... Just try and learn the act of soliciting and how to draft legal documents well.

Some lucrative aspect of law are;
Real property
Election petitions
Tax law
Arbitration
Banking & Corporate finance
Telecommunications

I Will advise you try and also seek specialization in the area that is not saturated such as Cyber crime law, Intellectual property law etc. Try and distinguish yourself...

PS: Don't mind this guy's below saying discouraging things, they are not learned and just speculating on mere say.
Thank You

Hello Nairalanders!

I am just another young Nigerian who resides in Lagos still struggling, hustling and chasing my dreams.

Unfortunately, I have a selfish Landlord. He asks for money all the time, I cooperated last year and each time he does ask, I find something for him.
This year I want to be much more prudent with my expenses and I only want to pay for my rent when it is due because if I continue the same way, I might end up paying 5 years upfront and that means I am working just to satisfy my rather selfish Landlord.

Here comes the hurdle, my rent will be due by December. My Landlord just served me a quit notice to vacate my apartment by January next year, only a month after my rent must have expired.

I pay my rent annually and will like to know what my rights are in a situation like this.
I know and accept that I will definitely vacate his property but how long more does the law permit me to stay and make arrangement for the next place to move in.

Once again the quit notice was served to me today to vacate by January, 2019. My rent is still active and expires December 30, 2018.

I am counting on lawyers in the house and experienced Nairalanders to put me through on my next move. I think I should be entitled to 6 months stay after the expiration of my rent by law to make arrangement to move i.e June 2019.
Am I right? can someone just throw me out of his property by January when my rent expires by December?

I am not sure the rightful section to put this thread, the mod please do the needful so this gets enough exposure so people can contribute, I just want to get the right information so no one can mess with my rights.
Thank You!

This section has been very helpful.

I am a young lawyer and on the verge of rounding off my NYSC.

I have been thinking of how to secure a good future hence have been considering migrating to Canada or the USA.


Law is not a STEM course and switching career may not be easy at all.

I am wondering if there are opportunities for Lawyers in Canada or the USA (or even New Zealand, Australia.)

I am looking at migrating via Masters degree --- that''s if I can gain a full or partial scholarship with 3.9 CGPA on a 5 point scale or migrating through Canadian FSW.


Or do I just stay back in Nigeria?

I can raise 2 million naira.

Suggestions needed please. I am tired. Seriously tired because the future looks bleak.
