I was discussing with someone today and he said and I quote,

"beating is the only language some women understands, they can bring out the beast out of the most gentle and most cool-headed men. Sometimes even as much as possible, some men try to avoid confronting their wives to avoid conflicts, they tend to take them for granted and they constantly destroy their ego, disrespect them in from of third parties and make the home a no go area for them. He said he has seen cases where a wife who is beaten once by his husband after taking all the insults and is at the break point tend to start recognising and respecting the authority of the man in the house".

So, what do you people say to this, I know it is not right for a man to beat his wife but what if that is the only language the wife understands to restore peace in the home. The floor is open for discussion,

Every man has a the highest limit of endurance of insult and can snap at this point. my honest advice is that the man should just .walk away and leave the place till he is able to cool down. Beating the wife at a snap point can sometimes be fatal as the man is in a state of "temporary insanity" so to say. This is my little contribution

Is there anybody using the SWIFT 4G im Magodo Shangisha area. How is the speed / quality of service. Please I need to know, this is urgent.

What is the last price

Phone rings in the house a little girl picks it up
"Hello" she says
"Hi honey, this is daddy. Is mommy near the phone?" a voice on the other end answer
"No daddy she is upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Paul." The little girl quipped.
"After a brief pause daddy says "but honey you haven't got an uncle Paul!"
"Oh yes I do, and he is upstairs in the room with mommy right now."
Brief pause "uh okay then, this is what I want you to do:
“Put the phone down on the table, run upstairs, knock on the bedroom door, and shout to mommy that daddy's car has just arrived at the gate."
"Ok daddy just a minute…"
A while later the little girl comes back to the phone, "done it daddy."
"What happened honey?"
"Well, mommy got scared and jumped out of the bed naked, ran round the room screaming, tripped over, and knocked her head on the staircase, now she is not moving at all."
"What about Uncle Paul?" asked Dad.
"He jumped out the window into the swimming pool, but I guess he didn't know you emptied the water last week. He hit the bottom and I think he's dead."
Really long pause this time…
Daddy says, "swimming pool, but we don’t have a swimming pool?
Is this 486-5731?"
"No, this is 486-5713. "
Sorry, wrong number…!!!

LASG draws battle line with building approval violators - threatens to seal up properties in Gbagada, Magodo, New Isheri and other Schemes for illegal change of use

Violators of building approvals in Lagos State are in for a rough time. The State Government through the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development recently issued a public notice instructing property owners in Gbagada Scheme 1 and 2 and other schemes who may have converted the use of their properties from the one originally approved by the State Government to revert or risk having their properties sealed or have the Right of Occupancy on such properties revoked by the Governor.

image of a red crossThe notice stated that the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development in fulfilling its statutory responsibilities of ensuring an orderly and sustainable development with a view to promoting aesthetically pleasing and amendable development and also to ensure that development within the state are in accordance with the adopted plan is mindful of an increase in contravening conduct of property owners, building developers and occupants in Gbagada Residential Scheme 1 and 2.

Such contraventions according to the notice relates to converting residential properties to commercial properties and place of worship and construction of buildings in violation of building approvals as well as general violation of existing Urban and Regional Planning Laws of the State.

Explaining that all titles in property are founded on a Right of Occupancy evidenced in a Certificate of Occupancy, the State Government by the notice reminded property owners that special terms and conditions stated in the document with obligations on the title holder requires that property owner conform to all rules laid down from time to time in regard to the location of buildings and town planning regulations. And also that clause 12 of the document requires its holder not to erect or build or permit to be erected or built on the said land any buildings other that those covenanted to be erected by virtue of this Certificate of Occupancy and not to make or permit to be made any addition or alteration to the said building to be erected in accordance with plan and specifications approved by the Governor or other officer appointed in that behalf.

The State Government by the notice however informed that it shall forthwith exercise the power of revocation pursuant to the Land Use Act for the aforesaid contraventions or breaches of special terms and conditions attached to a Right of Occupancy without further recourse to any title holder.

To avoid such a penalty, affected property owners, developers or occupants of over 30 properties in Gbagada Scheme 1 and 2 which includes Banks, Schools, Churches and other business outfits are directed by the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development to submit their development permits for verification or in the alternative revert to their original with effect from fourteen days from the day of service of the notice which was on the 20th of March 2009, after which their properties will be sealed in the event that they fail to meet up with the deadline.
Lagos State Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development
TPL Francisco Bolaji
Abosede
Hon.Commissioner
Ministry of Physical
Planning and Urban
Development

Conspicuously listed in the notice as having contravened the development permit law are several banks which have branches along the Gbagada Expressway which has in recent times become a location of choice for business outfits.

The Lagos State Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Town Planner Francisco Abosede in a telephone chat with Castles explained that property owners who can present relevant documents that sufficiently shows that they were issued development permits for the current use of their properties will be spared. He gave the example of Grace School in Ajidigan Street which was of the properties listed in the notice but have been able to establish that they were issued a development permit for a school and so they are no longer affected.

TPL. Abosede also explained that affected property owners cannot apply again for a Change of Use permit as the Governor since June 2007 has outlawed such approvals through an executive order. “It is only property owners that have been able to get approval for Change of Use before the ban that would have the opportunity to present such documents for verification”, he added.

The Commissioner said there are areas in the Gbagada scheme that have been earmarked for commercial purposes like petrol stations, schools and banks. “We also have areas reserved as open space to add to the beauty and aesthetics of the area. As a government, we have a responsibility to ensure sanity and compliance to these provisions.

He added that residential associations of other schemes have continued to write the State Government on acts contravening planning laws of the state being perpetrated by some property owners. As such, the Commissioner said other schemes like New Magodo, New Isheri and others would soon be visited to ensure compliance to planning laws. “Every month, publications will be made in the dailies, informing people to revert to originally approved use as this is the beginning of the process”, he concluded.

Apart from the immediate threat of revocation of Certificate of Occupancy or demolishing of the buildings affected, some commentators have opined that the actions of the State Government has far reaching consequences for real estate prices in the short and long term. Some estate practitioners have in recent times accused the banks, which were rolling out branches in all locations of the state, as being responsible for pushing up rents. With their superior bargaining power, banks were able not only to offer higher rents but also were able to pay upfront for longer terms. It was not unusual for the banks to pay up to 15 years rent in advance. Apart from high end areas like Ikoyi and Victoria Island, these practices were extended to areas in the Mainland, including Gbagada.

If the Government seeks to curb this by insisting on a ban on 'change of use' then bank expansion will be restricted for want of approval. This in turn should reduce the escalation of rents in areas targeted by the banks. Others have argued that due to the present credit crunch, growth in bank branches may not only have slowed, it might have stopped altogether and the banks focus more on funds mobilisation. This is shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted, they argue.
