I Sold My House, But.... by Abizz(op): 9:32am On Jan 29
Good morning guys, I need clarification on something.
Some years ago, we were paid quite a sum at work, you know one of these unbelievable bonuses. One of my bosses who's always liked me called on me and advised I put the money to good use.
She specifically advised I should start working on building a house and she gifted me a parcel of land in a government reserved area to encourage me.

I have all necessary documents; The original Certificate of Occupancy and Deed of gifts with governor's consent.

The project took off and was completed the following year.
She was happy for me, congratulated me and that was the last time we talked about it. It's been over four years now.

I sold the house some weeks back and I'm wondering if I should have carried her along or engaged her dutifully from some legal standpoint.
Money is never her problem really, I'm just curious if normalcy demands I should have sought her permission before making the decision. One, as a boss who wants to see me do well in life. Two, as the gifter. Three, if there is any legal implications of not involving her or possible breach of intention.

Re: I Sold My House, But.... by Adexvivacity(m):
you actually should have informed her before selling the house and possibly she might have come to your aid if it was money you needed that made you sold it or you dont like the area but since you have sold the house without telling her, you have to keep living as if nothing happened, no need of telling her again. THE DEED HAS BEEN DONE.

That woman is a very nice woman. She's just after seeing you progress in ya life and such person should be treated with utmost respect.

For someone of her position to you, you should have told her you want to sell the property. (That's my definition of respect here). Who knows if she might let you see beyond your Nose?
Re: I Sold My House, But.... by SultanOfPuna:
My uncle gifted me a Toyota Camry back in 2011 and i sold it 2013 without telling him.

Funny enough when I later told him I sold the Car.
He first look me for like 20 seconds just dey chew kolanut with dry gin.
Then said if he had know he would have sold the car himself and pocket the money undecided

Na there Church scatter...

That taught me how disrespectful it is to sell something gifted to you without informing the person that gifted it to you. My 2 cents
Re: I Sold My House, But.... by press9jatv(m): 10:12am On Jan 29
No need to tell her since you have sold the house already.
Re: I Sold My House, But.... by Sensiblerealist(m): 10:12am On Jan 29
A gift is a gift anyways. But the moral code dictates that you should have carried her along when about to make that decision to sell.
I think you can still set up a meet, apologize and give genuine reasons for selling the house
Re: I Sold My House, But.... by Exceed15: 10:12am On Jan 29
U should have carried her along and state your strong reasons fort taking d action
Re: I Sold My House, But.... by YoungLionken(m): 10:12am On Jan 29
That's good to know, keep i
Re: I Sold My House, But.... by Fred2020: 10:12am On Jan 29
From a courtesy standpoint, you should have informed her. If she legally transferred the land to you without any precondition, I doubt you owe her anything but morally you owed her big in carrying her along.

Dude, you're nothing short of an INGRATE
Re: I Sold My House, But.... by Avedonn: 10:13am On Jan 29
You should have informed her of your decision to sale the house.

I hope this won't affect your relationship with her.

I always thought is beyond your nose 👃
I understand if it’s typo error
What I won’t I understand is if you are a Norse man and the word came up without your notice due to frequent use.

Shalom sir.
Re: I Sold My House, But.... by Ayanko(m): 10:14am On Jan 29
Please get in touch with her, tell her your reason of selling.
Just make her feel important.
It's not too late.
Thanks
Re: I Sold My House, But.... by Tareq1105: 10:14am On Jan 29
It's very stupid of you to have taken such decisions without her knowledge. You think she'll ever be of help to you again?
Re: I Sold My House, But.... by Kriely(m): 10:15am On Jan 29
I sold mine to use the money to play sporty. I’m still paying debt.
Re: I Sold My House, But.... by BarrElChapo(m): 10:15am On Jan 29
Strictly speaking, you don't necessarily have to inform her about the sale, because if she gave it to you freely she expects that you will make the best decisions about the gift, else she will it be borderline controlling.

if she gave you the proper documentation et al, then you should be fine.
Re: I Sold My House, But.... by Thewrath: 10:15am On Jan 29
You should have told her before selling the house.you are asking this question now after selling the house because you know you might need her help again in future.

Remember she gifted you the land and advised you build a place of your own.
Re: I Sold My House, But.... by ChrisIntegral(m): 10:16am On Jan 29
You are just so lucky to have this kind of Boss.
You should have told her .

Exactly.
point1:
Pathetic, this one should be in his mid 40s
cry This other video is just too painful to watch, I don't know why tears streamed down my face watching this. Anyone that can help me locate those in charge of this man's case should privately message me. I want to finance a good Lawyer for him. I wish I can save him and bless him with money so that he can take care of his family. This is a good man, obviously a family man that just need to put food on the table for his children. The fact that he doesn't have that strong mind to kill anyone makes me feel for him. If he is really a wicked Soul, it is not really hard to get real guns. I really Pray the Judge would have mercy on him. I want to meet the man on that thread badly.

Re: I Sold My House, But.... by casdoruche: 10:18am On Jan 29
She gifted you a land to build a house for your own comfort and not for business.

If she knew you were bent on doing business then she won’t have gifted you in the first place.

GRA wahala no be here. By the time they later inform you that GRA land is not for sale you will cough out the money.
Re: I Sold My House, But.... by erniok2: 10:19am On Jan 29
In as much as I don't believe this your story, I think you should have kept her in the loop. She gifted you a parcel of land in what would have been an expensive area.

It’s important he should have told her because she didn’t just gift him the land as a random gift,but as a boss who WANTS to see her employee or subject succeed in life,relished advised him to build a place of his own..

Secondly he might squander the money realized from selling the house or find himself in need again in future…..she might not be that willing anymore since he didn’t carry her along in the first place.
Re: I Sold My House, But.... by Rapture4real(m): 10:22am On Jan 29
Send me her phone number pls.
Re: I Sold My House, But.... by okoloto: 10:22am On Jan 29
You sold because of issues that may arise tomorrow being a gift grin wise man. Legal things can be in contention tomorrow. You know wetin you dey do and reason for not telling the woman grin
Re: I Sold My House, But.... by popp(m): 10:22am On Jan 29
You have sold it already before consulting us the elders.

One question, she gifted you the land. That's free of charge. In GRA?

Now you have sold the land, even without telling her before you sold it, you didn't do bad but you did very bad.

Let me reserve my comments.

You have carried her along, not because you owe it to her as a duty but for courtesy. Also She may have an opinion that may benefit you better if you do.
Re: I Sold My House, But.... by HydraFeeds(m): 10:24am On Jan 29
Why did you sell the house ?

Taking permission means a no from the person asked means you can't proceed , if you proceeded , you will incur more wrath than if you proceed without informing the said person .
Re: I Sold My House, But.... by zinaunreal(m): 10:25am On Jan 29
You just sell house like that ,come dey ask us. If na you them do am, you go like if them sell your gift? Your boss might not find it funny . Prepare to see the other side of a nice boss 😆😆😆

Don't bother telling her yet, try buying another land even if you wont build it
