I have not completed building approval in lagos myself.

But I wonder why someone residing abroad would tender his tax documents for building approval in Nigeria??

Is it cheaper that way??

The reason I asked is even if an individual paid $100k in taxes in US or £70k in taxes in the UK. There's no way building approval authorities will be hitting back flips and clapping for you...
Although it seems that what they are doing is trying to generate revenue for their respective states but they don't really care about taxation laws.. they all want to be paid in the end.

Matter of fact, even if you bring in income tax receipts from a different state, the state you are building on will still tell you ehn ehn.... You paid taxes in different state, the tax we need is the receipts of the ones you paid in the state you are seeking the building approval from
( this happened to me).

This is one of the many reasons why individuals resort to "any means" to overcome this burden and get their building plans approved because even if you try to do right , they still say you are wrong. Damn you if you do, damn you if you do[/b]n't.

Why would someone pay taxes in 2 different states from one income?? It defies common sense but that's the way it they think it should be

[b]But the bigger part of it is with the loose privacy laws in Nigeria, someone Turning in their foreign tax documents with their information 'might' be opening themselves up for things they didn't bargain for.


Also, jealous folks in that office will be saying ehn ehn... hin wan show us say hin dey live abroad etc... and they will see the abroadian as ATM or make life unnecessarily hard for them.

Hello everyone....please I need your opinion on this... On Friday last week, my pop guy called to tell me he wasn't working on Friday cos his wife was ill and he needed to take care of her, he told me he was going to resume on Monday, I told him it was fine and he should go ahead. On Monday, people that went to the site to drop off the tiles told me he wasn't at the site so, I called him.. He told me he was at the hospital with his wife and they said it will take 4 days for her to get discharged, that he won't be able to work that Monday, I told him not to worry, he should take care of his wife.. I didn't call him for 2days only for me to call today and he didn't pick my calls, I have paid him half of his money and he has only completed the dinning and done part of the parlour... Is it possible that he ran away and abandoned the job?

Yours is better sir..

I paid someone on this thread #820,000 to do a job based on previous work relationship and on trust...since August...

Till today he has not done 10% of the job, he is nowhere to be found and he keeps promising today, tomorrow etc.. Just cos I never knew his office..met him here on NL

You can try his number again to go check on him at the hospital if he picks..or try him with a different number..

If you know the bank that you transfered the money to and his details, pls go to his/her nearest bank and complain about it asap. This is where BVN will do the work.

I have seen a case where they freezed a guy account for this. He had to agree on payment before the bank unfreeze his account.

Goodluck

He won't spend up to 200k for 3 doors or for one door? Cos it seems like he is asking for the total amount....

Oops! Sorry about your experience, The guy probably got another job and perhaps decides to go do it, when his new job reaches 70% , then he comes back to continue your project, using his wife as an excuse to be away, Even if he's not on site, he should have boys onsite, who would continue working regardless. Have had to Manage 2 POP projects for two Nairalanders at the same time, If am not on the Second site, am at the First (vice versa), But I split my boys & put them in each site, So clients job, doesn't stop , Work continues. My boys keep working, & keep me updated. Clients were happy. I really don't wanna judge , (don't know how critical his case is) just perhaps he's taking you for granted. He should at least Pick up your call & communicate Properly.

PS: I lost someone during those periods.

I also have a feeling that he is handling other projects too... He isn't picking my calls cos he has no other excuse to give.. I don't mind if he has other projects my only concern is that he finishes my work and do it properly..


I'm so sorry for your loss..

I bought several TVs valued at almost 3 million Naira from a Nigerian I never met. I was attracted by his pricing and his professionalism. I chatted with him, he sent me a professional invoice, I conducted OSINT investigations into his name, phone number, email addresses and company names (previous and current) and then went ahead and he delivered.

I hope you have not just his name and number but also the entity or entities that he uses to do business.

It will help you recover your funds when you finally decide to take action.

I am sorry for your disappointment with doing business with Nigerians online, but I can guarantee you there are several good eggs you can do business with online.

You might just need to do a little more vetting before committing funds.

Busy people just don't have the time to personally visit offices of everyone they intend to do business with.
