Nigeria to me is very good, sure it’s not perfect but she hasn’t thrown anything alarming at me that’ll make me want to abandon her. It’s a state of mind.

I’m still some years away from qualifying for SS.

Budget varies and is based on lifestyle of course. I think N100K / month is prudent for a single retiree. Somethings that affects that is if you must have a driver N25K, a MaiGuard N20K, a housemaid N15K.

Good luck on your planning, all in all I regret not making the move sooner than I did but Gods time is the best.
i believe this is a make believe statement chairman, but it is good you find Nigeria very Good for you, i will say the inverse, or maybe you have adapted so well.

somehow:
You need to know the title the land comes with, then contract a reputable surveyor or lawyer to help verify the documents.
The land survey is very important, especially if buying from individuals.

To save yourself a lot of stress, go for lands with at least excision sir.

A reputable/qualified Surveyor or lawyer should be able to handle the verification with relevant government agencies.



Thanks for ur guidance

SurveyorGeo:

You will need to chart the land to ascertain the status, if it is free from govt acquisition or not, don't be fast to make financial commitment, make sure you are satisfied with the land before making any payment, land with title document is safer, also make sure you are dealing with the right owner. I wish you good luck

Thank you

The cost of things actually fighting against my quest to wait before venturing into the finishing stages. I fear if I wait to gather enough, the cost of things may likely deal with me as it has dealt with me partially for the delay suffered in the hands of the previous contractor. angry

A big mention goes to sypder880, and Segcymoor for the advice so far.

Segcymoore is just too mature and responsible, still gives advice, helps source for contacts when I call on him even though his quotation for the same project was not picked. when any of his contacts want to misbehave, he still goes out of his way to bring them to order.

Still waiting for @N3xt (Brabus) to do the needful before I share my overall opinion of him for the past 11 months of contacting him.

Smiles. I think you should ask those who’ve used your product to share their project with you. Even big companies like Nigerite do ask for same.

Though I didn’t buy from you. I used Value paint on my fence and it look great. We really loved it.

No its not. I promise to invite you next time Sir. Let me look for pictures from my own house opening in my village, December2017. It's a weekend so I can unwind with some old memories.

I remember the day like it was yesterday, my inner family cooking and entertaining, my community gathered inside my compound, men of God praying and declaring blessings, friends and family members wishing us a peaceful enjoyment of the new house.
