PAPAFEELERS:
What are the remedies available to a person when an usurper takes or tries to take over the person land.
What are the means of getting justice against the usurper?

The family sold the land to us as far back as 2017 with family receipts and deed of agreement signed and we did our corner piece and no issue.
Fast forward to 2021 ,all of a sudden an individual wants to fence our land as his and the family said that the land they sold to the individual excludes our land and that the land in question belongs to us.

The individual wanted to use thugs/area boys , we were able to checkmate this. he went and bring Mobile police to the land and we wrote a petition to the police and the police went to the site and told the mobile police men they are on illegal duty and if they know what is good for them,they should leave that site immediately .

The most annoying part is that the individual has been dodging / avoiding the police station rather he sents is lawyer, we too also have a lawyer that goes along with us to the station. the family /omonile have been to the station based on police invitation to state thier own side

The police has scheduled another meeting and told the lawyer to present his principal (individual) for the next meeting

Please i need options/ideas to get justice and compensation for the trespass done as to teach the individual a lesson because he is known for such behaviors of subtle land grabbing

CC: LAST PAGE, NEXT, TWINSKENNY, ROTECH, HAJJI, EGUNMOGAJI ETC


It’s an unfortunate but common issue and I’ll have hoped that our legislators would have come up with a bill/law by now.

You have the backing of the selling family and you’re good. If it were me I’ll rather spend the effort and money on fencing the property and just let the lawyers do their thing in terms of responding to him and also seek compensation for court fees.

Good luck.

Thank you for your responses. The building is a duplex and I'd to post the plan here so I can be advised accordingly.
The foundation and flooring has been done but now I want to modify it to:

* Include a gym with big windows ,
* Move the Maid's room "inside".
* Eliminate the guest room downstairs.
* Maintain 3 bedrooms upstairs.
* Reposition the study and laundry room, if need be.
* Master bedroom to access the balcony.
* Modern staircase.
With looooots of natural light. (I hope I'm not asking for too much).
Please, see attached photos. Many thanks.

Howo is more expensive than Mack truck.

Mack truck is 30-40k daily, while Howo is 60-80k depending on the grade of truck.

Call me for more info to avoid blocking me by antisparm

Wow. Thanks.

It’s ok. All I know is Ibeto Cement is not owned by Dangote, BUA or Lafarge and it has been in existence for more 3 decades or more.
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by n3xt(m): 12:17pm On May 11, 2021
Though it has gone bankrupt, I’m pretty sure Dangote, not Lafarge or any of the big players owned Ava Cement in Edo State.

The same applies to Purechem.

They’re all small players but they’re not subsidiaries.

Haha...you are right.I omitted IBETO for a reason..as of today my brother ibeto still does not manufacture cement in Nigeria as I was told ...he failed to convert nigercem or yet to do so....held import license when they were all importing....his deal to build his plant in Ebonyi fell through.didnt work out...I cannot say for sure if he built elsewhere....he raised good money to build plants ...cannot find it listed anywhere ....have a good day....cheers

The above won't be a big deal for your architect to modify.
Just ensure the structural part is well taken care of.

All these are just cosmetic changes without structural changes and very easy to change. The all-round chaining and the decking should hold the structural integrity of the building. Just reverse the direction/position of this door and change that wall. That's all. Don't fret, na easy adjustment. Go back to your architect for the changes; if s/he is asking for the moon, just look for the nearest draughtsman. Eyes dey red now but draughtsman suppose fit do am for like 10k.

It goes beyond moving doors and creating larger windows. She wanted looooots of natural lights and even more.

I could as well tell a lab attendant to perform surgery.

Draughtsman work based on given specifications and calculations. They work with sketches and specifications of architects to produce working plans.

Draughtsman know how to draw (move door, move windows, change this, change that...) but an architect know what to draw. My simple explanation of the big difference between an architect and a draughtsman.

Not quite.

A Lab attendant is not trained to perform surgery.

A draughtsman is trained to provide looooots of natural light.

Why is Dangote doing this in China? Why is FG not pegging price?

Dear Sangobuild Clients:
Hope you and your family are doing well. 

Due to the unexpected soaring price increase of steel raw materials recently, we hereby have to officially inform you that all the prices of Stone Coated Metal Roof Tiles before 11th of May are invalid till now 

Prices for the new orders need to be confirmed according to the new cost.

Based on the current market situation, the price coming is still going up. It is suggested to stock some materials to avoid the impact of the second wave price increase and maintain the materials supply for your clients. 

Sincerely,

Leon

Noble profession but you want to pay home 10,000 naira to effect changes that involves alot of brain work / tinkering.

An original Autocad software costs thousands of dollars. I know we use fake. If I were the one, I won't even open my laptop if someone offered me 10,000 for design changes in this 2021.

I'm sure Oga Diordaves is abroad. But 10,000 naira is you looking down in that noble profession.
