Call a spade, a spade.

He was outrightly wrong with his perspective on residential and commercial property.

Your explanation falls inline with his thought, which he felt should be understandable to all, but that was not so because enlightened minds know that renting out a residential property doesn't convert it to a commercial property in the context of government classification.

He also has a myopic, anti-social, demeaning act of outrunning himself on issues he's ungrounded in, and would attempt to cyberbully folks at the slightest point dissonance of perspectives...What a man!

All una sef get time to dey follow such a man trade words!

Hello,

Just checking if had a closure on this issue.

Also, I'd like to know (from you or anyone else with experience) if Eurobond payout are made in Dollar or Naira.

Thanks.

Just to ensure I am on same page with you. I am a strong advocate of produce in Nigeria, but the fact remains, Nigerians will rather adjust and go for imported products. You asked if rice was 30k and local rice was 16k, I tell you that many people to claim high social class will go for the foreign rice as long as it is available. That will mean importers will bring and adjust their price to the new rate.
Just like the phone seller just said, people will grumble but they will still buy it. Ever wondered why products produced in Aba have to carry international labels just to be able to sell them?

I'm advising that he cuts his losses and moves on. If you decide to bring an action to recover unpaid rent and recover possession, how much would you spend on legal fees and for how long are you ready to drag it?
Now, calculate her unpaid rent for 2 months and decide which is easier to forgo.

Bad tenants can ruin an otherwise profitable investment. I have a client who is selling his 13 units of terraced duplexes at Magodo just because of tenants wahala. Prospective tenants are willing to pay 4M per year per duplex but he has refused, he's stuck to selling.

Good morning my big Oga Mr McJay.
I have to agree with you o, that it is more sensible and wise just to waive the two months rent for the sake of peace and to get rid of a bad tenant. Tenants just need to know that legally any additional time spent needs to be paid for in full.

I will be grateful if you or any of our big Ogas and Madams in the house has a Know your Customer "KYC" template for prospective tenant, that can be shared. Landlords among us should please regularly inspect the meters in their properties to ensure there is no illegal or "bypass" connection. My tenant in Magodo absconded and left me a bill of 945 thousand naira (yes just under 1M naira on a prepaid meter o!!!) to pay, when she was caught by the Ikeja Electric Vigilance team. She did not pay even one kobo for electricity over the preceeding 4 months. She had apparently engaged someone to tamper with the prepaid meter as electricity supplied was not being read by the meter. The property was charged 150K per month, for 6 months as loss of revenue plus 45K as VAT. My case is still unresolved and with the NERC regulator

Same thing I said to my aboki exchanger when he bought my dollars for N450. I simply thought of the impact on the whole country, me inclusive.

MrMcJay:


Agric C of Os are also very much genuine, it's just that the purposes differ from that of Residential or Commercial C of Os. Once they tell a any property is covered by a CofO, try to check 4 things.

1. The propose of the CofO. It is usually written on the front page. Residential, Agricultural, Industrial, Mixed-use, Commercial or Utility.

2. The time span of the CofO. This is written inside the C of O, page 2 or 3. No CofO is issued for infinity and the longest time span is usually 99 years for Residential CofOs. While Agric C of Os have a short lifespan of about 15 to 25 years, others are for much longer.

3. Commencement. The time the CofO commences is very important. It is written on the front page of the C of O and determines when it starts and the remaining lease left on the land. If you get a C of O commencing from 1991 and to last for 99 years, it means it is to expire in 2090 and you have 70 years left on the lease.

4. Covenants. This is very important because these are the hidden clauses where the main terms of the grant are hidden. The conditions upon which the CofO are granted are written here and it is advised that you read them properly.

Even if oil price reaches $50, its still not enough to to pull out the naira from 400 range

Theconglomerate:
I see CBN devaluing the naira again.
Dollar don pick race again this morning as Buhari said na June 21 them go open everywhere.
Also NNPC blundered last night to hint they make just $3 profit a barrel of oil at their $25 benchmark because they spend up to $22 just to produce a single barrel of oil.
This has boost speculator confidence and the slow and steady upward rate of the dollar has begun.
Whoever that don't want to buy local produce should get ready to plunder his reserves till kingdom come.
400 range is naira's new reality apparently.

ahiboilandgas:
if u sell u dollars u will still go and buy in the future ...u need it continusely

olujaidi:


Lol. I think the only thing that can improve this is sustained cash intervention. Thus far, that hasn't happened. I think they've chosen to protect the reserves as much as possible - maybe gathering the necessary firepower to intervene.

I don't think the NNPC "blundered". It's been that way for years. It's just a Google search away. Kachikwu attempted to reduce it but obviously his efforts were unsuccessful.

Theconglomerate:
He is not limited to exchanging his naira for dollars.
What if he also looks for a way to start earning dollars?Have you also thought about what will happen to his standard of living if he does this?
Devaluation will make Nigeria an export based nation with everyone scrambling to earn fx.
That is what we need right now.

ahiboilandgas:
really...we have been devaluing since 1980 ..

And GDP has been increasing since 1980....

Devaluation will not solve our problems. We don't have to devalue before we diversify our revenue base.

ahiboilandgas:
like wise the poverty and all negative index ....if strong countries like Turkey will be worried about devaluations ..i dont Nigeria should be happy...a 30 percents drop in the Lira caused alot of panic...they are very industralized and a mid income Nation

ahiboilandgas:
The growing Nigeria Gdp is useless and audio it is not reflected in the populace....china Gdp grew and boom 500m Chinese are off poverty....and everwhere it china made products...boom Nigeria Gpd grew poverty ,kidnappings,unemployements jumps to 1000 percents ....The Gdp is growing in the families of political appointees and is driven by crude oil explorations and not real work

Theconglomerate:
Poverty index is increasing because there are over 70m+ unproductive people up north dragging the nation backwards and destroying it's statistics.
Turkey is not a shithole country and devaluation is not for them.
You only devalue currencies of shitholes so that they can sell whatever crap they produce internationally and destroy importation caused by lack of production/industrialization,so making comparison with Nigeria and Turkey is not good.
You should make comparisons between Nigeria and olden day China.
This is fair comparison.
You cannot go to an already industrialised and self sufficient country with higher standards of living and start talking devaluation,it's outright wrong.

Is there really a benefit of removing people from the farm, educating to only know how to speak English and become entitled to some goverment jobs?
Shouldn't we find a way to educate them to still be farmers but educated farmers.
