Above is a typical example of such rascality by Lagos State government just this week. His property is being demolished. He has tenants who were rendered homeless as well as himself. In this instance, are you going to drag a homeless man seriously fighting to stay alive?

There's a thing called "force majeure" in law, no contract is void of it. When unforeseeable events occur, no one is held liable. This scenario can also apply in car rental and hire purchase agreements on Uber. A driver cannot be held liable when there's a car wreck in situations that he doesn't have control over.

Let's paint a scenario you all can relate with and I believe most of you have experienced this one time.

Lanre was called for an interview for a life changing job offer at Ajah and he resides at the maindland. The cost of going to the company via public transport is 6k. He borrowed this money from friends and family with the hope of paying back when he starts work and receive his first salary. This scenario is a typical life of the "TENANT".

Then same day,a driver Mr Adeniyi wakes up in the morning ,a man who doesn't regard the laws of God and man. The bus he has is a sole means of livelihood for himself and his family. This scenario is a typical life of the LANDLORD who builds a house without proper authorisation and approval from government.

Fate brought these two together.Lanre boarded Mr Adeniyi bus from Abule Egba to Ajah and paid a transport fare of 3k naira to the driver. On getting to Oshodi,due to driver's lack of regards for the law,
he passed one way road to beat traffic. LASTMA or Lagos state task force caught up with him and impounded his bus with no hope of ever getting it back.

Poor Mr Adeniyi whose only means of livelihood was taken away from him because of his carelessness and disregard for the law. Lanre who has a job interview at Ajah is stranded at Oshodi without enough money on him.

@ TheModerator , Gentlelife50 , NewDea4 , izzou , Pearl1910

With an objective mind ,what do you think will happen in this situation. Will Lanre leave his money with the Driver because of sympathy?

izzou:


Apples and Oranges, sir.

But let me work with your example.

You said the Driver passed one way and broke the law; synonymous with a Landlord building illegally, right?

So why did you as a tenant not carry out due diligence before renting? The building was illegal, so why did you pay for it?

Your earnest prayer should be that you do not find yourself in such unfortunate situation. If you think you will collect 1 kobo from any Landlord in Nigeria, be it Dangote, na serious play you dey.

Or you think the millions of tenants that have walked away in such situations are ignorant?

Djdamian:


A tenant should go and verify land documents from Lagos State Lands Bureau? How many landlords will release their land documents to their tenants?

I can never be in such situation because I am not stupid.

You guys are funny

Force Majeure is only applicable when natural disaster occurs in a legal agreement and it's subjective. Its interesting you are using E-hailing business as an analogy but i don't think they are the same.

Nigerian drivers always have this funny mentality that they do owners a favor. If any driver wrecks my vehicle and claims Force Majeure, Lagos won't be big enough for both of us.

LAW AND PRACTICE, TWO STREAMS FLOWING IN DIFFERENT CHANNEL.

Theoretically n practically, it doesn't matter whether u verify the C of O before u contract the building; because, ownership of land in Nigeria is vested in the government (as stipulated in the Land Use Act). Therefore, any excuse stated before the said demolition is just for formality n to sympathize with the public. Govt go claim any land anywhere.

Wonderfully, the Land Use Act made stipulation for "adequate compensation". Whence, it's rightful for the govt to claim or reclaim any land and it's also rightful for the govt to compensate the owner. But what does the law mean by "adequate"?

Practically, govt will demolish a building worth hundredth of millions and compensate the owner in thousands.

During Obasanjo regime, the govt claimed some land and compensate the owners with #10,000 naira, they rejected it for heaven sake!!!. Late Gani( the oracle of the law) challenged the govt n sue her to court for inadequate compensation, after series of appeal, the Court, while interpreting the clause, opined that, the govt is not to be tied down with any specific amount (govt is at will to give any amount as compensation) to come finish common man, court say compensation is not a right but a privilege.... imagine that ...
Well, I forget the case law n I'm not sure if we have a new judicial interpretation now.(moreso, if Dem justice Niki Tobi (the golden voice n interpreter of the law couldn't muscle something better, I doubt the current system)
But, the Niger-deltans n govt (during the same Obasanjo regime) is also a case study of this abuse of our common right.

To our TENANCY LAW IN NIGERIA,
What clauses is actually contained in "agreement n commission" that we pay hugely for?
Did we take our time to input a clause in the agreement that will serve as authority for us before the court of law to hold the landlord to pay for damages we incur for premature termination of a binding contract?
Whatever the case maybe, the landlord have a suitable defence (the "doctrine of frustration "
If the court should acquaint this defense ehn.....hmmm
Moreso, "Nemo dat quod non habet" he can't give what he don't have oo.

Government dey insensitive to all this issues o.
Ideally, the govt ought to give "adequate compensation" to landlord, and from that "adequate compensation" ehn, landlord go settle tenants...

Conclusively, in a State, ruled by law, all this issues na small thing...but Nigeria isn't ruled by law. Few weeks back, the Court issued a restraining order say make NLC no go strike, NLC disregard the Court order with contempt and proceed with the strike, funny enough, judiciary joined the strike...what a ridicule.

In such situation, the first thing to do, na to pack ur property exit that building to avoid double wahala....if u have extra coin, u could take a lawyer, perhaps, the case could usher in a new era in our legal system. We all hope for that.
God bless Nigeria.

I just watched some videos of houses being demolished in Festac and my question is why did these people sink in billions and millions in an illegal venture?
It's painful and sad but to be objective, I think these people knew one day, this will happen. They were wrong to build in these places.
But Govt should also not be selective in this demolition exercise let them visit other places same infractions have been committed.

I tend to agree with people who call these whole stuff a racket.

There is no way you would build anything in Lagos, that you won't be bamboozled with permits.

From Local governments, to LASBCA, na so you go dey pay. So how come nobody told them it was illegal? Why will the government be giving permits for illegal structures?

Today, Epe is the new rave. I have not seen Lagos state warning people not to buy there. 10 years later, you will hear that the place was for a future nuclear station.

It's possible, but nobody will intentionally sink hundreds of millions to build on somewhere illegal.

The demolition process started from Ikate.

Real Estate in Lagos is overhyped and crazily overvalued..
Imagine a plot of land @ ibeju lekkki for 20m .. is that not crazy .
Traffic to and from Awoyaya is enough to shave 8 years of one's lifespan.

TheModerator:


So where is the legal structure that you want to rent? Most of the demolished houses can't be classed as illegal structures aside those that were clearly built on drainage channels. The link I sent earlier, the house was being demolished because the state government just realized that the area needs to be used for agricultural purposes. The Lagos state government went behind to repurchase the land where the house was built from Omoniles before coming to demolish it which is more like a criminal act

As far as Lagos is concerned, no structure is completely legal. Both tenants and landlords are taking the same measure of risk, anything can happen.

The problem is the banana republic that we found ourselves where law and order is missing. Lagos happens to be the most lawless state in Nigeria.

Check sensor wey dey at the top of engine...

Glithronix:


@Betamusic - This below is the sensor omoapena talked about.
If this sensor goes bad, you will think say na the devil collabote with your village people dey do your car.
Cos no matter the solution/repair you do, if you never replaced this sensor, you'll just dey waste money on other things.
As someone said, first scan the car, if the code points to multiple cylinders misfiring, let your mechanic replace your car's cylinder sensor, then come and give testimony.

Much respect, boss.
