truly i can understand why shop owners would be angry. its not right but i can slightly understand why. its like you are blocking their wares they are trying to sell. passing customer has to see the wares or no sale. so i get that.

Except the shop is new in that environment, whoever wants to buy from you will surely locate you. They just lack common sense.

You have no right to park in front of someone's property if you ain't an occupant there, what are you even doing in someone's street when the street isn't for commercial, even if it's for commercial, you should be fined for obstruction of entrance to property owner.

freedom of movement.

GloriousGbola:
no. the op is talking about parking in front of houses in GATED estates.

it is why a lot of estates even try to impose clear restrictions - no strange cars allowed inside. you must call the person you are going to visit and the person confirms you to security.

Sukkot also does not realise that parking is a problem in lagos, so people will often just find literally anywhere to park their cars. a person can abandon his car in front of your house from 7am to 9pm. no one in lagos will be comfortable with that.

as well as parking in front of houses on public roads (( not blocking their entrance ))

I have had issues with 'mad' Nigerians over this madness. you will see people put tire on the road in front of their house so that you will not park in front of their house like did you pay for the road too? Is the road your property?

And when you park there they will leak your tire. Please, do these idiots know that their property does not extend beyond the fence you paid for? You don't own the road. I hate these people with this entitlement mindset. One idiot haas actually leaked my tire because I parked on government road that happens to be in front of his property. You will see these demonic sons of baal disfigure the whole place by putting tires on roads in front of their house so someone does not park there.

This has happened to me in estates too. When you buy a house in a gated estate do you buy the road in front of your house with it? I seriously need an answer to this particular question because I have had troubles with people in gated estates who think the road in front of their house is theirs and no one can park on it?

...

When people spend their hard earned money to.fix roads in their neighbourhood that government have abandoned and some people will want to come and park there and some will even leave their cars their for days and be claiming right ... We should respect other people's privacy too.. you can not come and park in front of my house and leave your cars for days and when police come looking for stolen cars the very house is the first target.... Nevertheless, there is no issue parking just to buy things and move.. but i won't buy the idea of turning every street a car park when it's not Jakande Estate.

Roads belong to the state and are looked after by the local council. Exceptions are private driveways and private roads ( for example in an estate).

Which local council look after roads in Nigeria?

I guess you've lived in one or some of these socialist countries where government controls everything, including the school your child must attend and the type of residence you can live We have too much freedom in Nigeria (due to failure of the three tiers of government) and people get to misuse and abuse their freedom.

Remember that these guys organized themselves, constructed the road, fixed their water system, and some go as far as buying transformers. There is no way you can convince them that the road within the gated estate belongs to "everybody" and "nobody." Even the government does not have that moral right.

Thank you.

Shame on her and her online criminals here.....[/quote]You're so on point! That is the problem we have which makes business growth so difficult. I remember a sister whose shop assistants made a habit of drinking packaged drinks for sale only to put back the empty packs in the carton/crate! Wicked souls.

When we go back to the culture of honesty and integrity, our business environment will surely thrive.

[quote author= post=116079520]Only in Naija.
Our Darling Country.......
This our country palava, no be for here.
Nigerians are the problems of Nigeria.

Nigerians are the problems of Nigeria.......for real!

Greed and Dishonesty, the two main problems of an average Nigerian.
Read along to understand our reasons for saying so......

(N.B : If you are a fraudster and criminal on Nairaland,
Skip to the next post or you may not survive reading this)

*HOME TRUTH*

I run a manufacturing business and a trading business.
The biggest challenge in my manufacturing business is not power, or infrastructure, the biggest challenge is getting honest staff. Everyone we hire appears to be on a mission to steal as much as possible. Inflated invoices, recording less than the actual number of units produced. The worst part of it all is that all the fraud we've uncovered is not done by a single person, it's usually many staff who collude with each other, from production, to sales, to finance, even top management. There was a year I overhauled management 3 times in a year.........
But me, I've found a solution sha, I now use Indian management. So competent, so honest and so straightforward. I thought they were expensive at first with all the visa fees, accommodation, house staff, but now that losses due to staff theft have been reduced to a minimum, and efficiency increased, the Indian management has turned out to be cheaper than the previous Nigerian management. Now, all sensitive positions involving money go to Indians. Nigerians are only allowed in non-sensitive positions. I used to criticize companies like Dangote Group that hire so many Indians when there are many unemployed Nigerians, but now, I understand their decision.

My biggest challenge in the trading business is the same, getting honest staff. The form of trading occurs in the open market, and involves staff having access to huge sums of money running into a few millions. I know how much I pay to security companies to provide escorts for the staff, not to prevent robbery, but to ensure that the staff go straight to the bank to deposit the money after the day's sales and not disappear with my money. This money spent on security companies is even enough to be declared as profit. We have to spend on CCTV, biometric scanners and other things that wouldn't be needed if staff weren't looking for the slightest opportunity to steal.

It got so bad at a point that my main criteria for employing staff was no longer competency but honesty. At least, competency and skills can be learnt, but once you're dishonest, you're dishonest.

We always complain of the economy and how there are no jobs. I know people abroad who would have loved to set up job creating businesses in Nigeria but they can't because they can't get any trustworthy person to run it.

I know people in Nigeria with so much money, they want to start factories and other job-creating businesses but they can't because they are occupied elsewhere and can't get any trustworthy person to run the business. So instead of investing in the real sector and creating jobs, they'll just buy treasury bills, while the thieves are shouting no jobs.

Many big businesses would have been born in Nigeria if we could engage in partnerships, but we cant because you can't trust anyone. This is one advantage the Indians and Lebanese have over us in Nigeria. They can pull resources together and do mega-business, unlike Nigerians that because only one person must do everything since we can't partner, end up with small, tiny businesses.

Start a poultry and they will be stealing your eggs. Some will even go ahead to be killing the chickens so that they'll be allowed to take them home.

Start an entertainment/viewing/game center and they'll be pocketing your money. On the days you're around at the business, the money realized will be x10 of the money realized when you're not around..... Because they're eating your money.

Lease out a vehicle to a driver to use and watch as he'll finish you.

Start a restaurant, the same thing will happen. More than half of the total food ingredients will end up in their personal kitchens.

Even ordinary provisions shop, they will find a way to steal.

You'll see them with that their evil, wicked saying "na where person dey work, na there e dey chop, na e make dem dey callam workchop/workshop"...... Just imagine, justifying theft at work.

And you'll see these people point their crooked fingers at politicians when they're not any different. I usually say the reason most Nigerians haven't stolen billions of government money, is simply lack of opportunity.

*On every level, Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria*.

If the truth wanna kill the online fraudsters and criminals we have on Nairaland,
you guys should better die now.
We will continue to hit your head as much as we can with the truth and be against your fraudulent lifestyle ALWAYS.
For all the scams you have scammed innocent people all over the world, and they end up committing suicide or becoming homeless, and y'all here thinking you are living large, kid you not, you will never enjoy that fraudulent money, it will lead you to your grave soonest. (You can keep hating honest, and hardworking members on this forum, but some of us will continue to kill you with the truth.)
Only if God doesn't exist.
Thieves, Barawos everywhere.

**********************************

GREED!!!

When we say we are our own problem they start grumbling.....

Okay listen to these examples:

1. You sell chicken and add over 40% profit ,you are happy forgetting that the person that bought the chicken sells tomatoes and pepper.

2. The tomatoes and pepper seller has to recover the excess she paid for the chicken, so she adds her own 42% profit margin.

3. Teacher will come and buy these 2 items with what? She has no other alternative than to increase lesson fees or school fees.

4. You will go and rent house from a landlord who has paid excess for cement, sand, chicken, tomatoes and pepper, lesson fees, how will he meet up if not by increasing his house rent by 60%.

And the circle continues, it is not about dollars, dollars is just an excuse, abi wetin concern garri, beans and yam with dollars.

The problem is you and I and our excessive greed.

Only a fraudster or criminal will be wailing about our above post.
We hope you ain't one of them kiddo?
If so, we understand your weeping about the honest truth.
No wonder you are your fellow children are always wailing and in serious pains reading our posts here.
The earlier, the better for you.
Advice from the elders kiss

Sure we do get the good ones among the youths.

Only sane, honest and hardworking Nairalanders like you will definitely like our answers and comments,

God bless your legit hustle man.

Yeah Sukkot, there's usually a set-back of some meters on roads that folks are not permitted to encroach upon, but a lot of people don't listen to or follow urban town planning rules.

Enforcement of rules is key especially in a place with a small landmass and a high population density like Lasgidy.

@Poster, the road directly in front of your house is an extension of your house. I’m sure you know it is not only you that have a car. Most people in those houses that you packed your car on the front of their compounds most likely also have cars and they’ll need to move their cars out. What if your car is obstructing them when they want to move out? You don’t just go packing your car in front of peoples houses simply because you think the road is govt road. I’m sure you live in a house, pack your car in your compound. There’s always a right place to park your car. I have a car and I know this. Always know the right thing to do and do it. Stop claiming right when you’re obviously wrong.
