Skimanski, are you talking about the value now or what the value is going to be after this clusterdiddling?

Granted I do not know enough about the values but I just don't see the value of the asking price? They are really not cheap housing.

I'm talking about what the value will be in a near future. Not now.

Even now I know some guyz that have finished their houses and want to resell as well as some that haven't finished. But they claim the offers they receive do not work for them at all. According to a seller. He might just have to sell for any little added offer and count his losses.

It's called scheming. 21st Century Advanced Slavery coming in form of installmental payment.

Zombie o, zombie!

Most of the subscribers are people that I referred to as "wise fools" - a book smart person who is street st.upid.

They are aware of the possible implications of their actions yet still act contrary to their belief.

At least you people see it from where im coming from. I do not blame these subcribers for killing the over 30 people in the building. I just dont understand why the patronize firms with offers that are too good to be true. Naija People with Awoof!!

The Idea of Affordable housing is fantastic. Its something My team and I are working so hard to bring to the Populace. but not at he risk of the people that eventually subscribe for it. Because this is not a case of Lekki Garden working for the Middle Class people. Its a case of lekki Gardens Using the Middle Class Citizens to Archieve their Selfish Goals.

I am very sure that in the Future most of the Houses will be empty because the Value would have droped so badly, and owners will want to sell off but no buyer and renting will be like nothing to write home about.

Following the collapse of a five-storey building under construction on Kushenla Road, Ikate Elegushi, Lekki on Tuesday, the Police on Thursday said Richard Nyong, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Lekki Gardens, the construction company behind the collapsed building, has been detained at Panti Police Station.

Police Public Relations Officer in Lagos, Mrs. Dolapo Badmos, who confirmed Nyong’s arrest, said he will be charged to court as soon as investigations are completed.

On Wednesday, Governor Ambode had ordered all Directors of Lekki Worldwide Estate Limited to submit themselves to the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Fatai Owoseni, within the next twenty four hours or face immediate arrest.

Nyong complied with the directive and reported himself to the office of the Commissioner of Police in company of his lawyer, Mr. Wole Olanipekun (SAN) and was detained after interrogation.

It would be recalled that the Lagos State Government in the wake of the building collapse, revealed that preliminary reports and investigation, it was discovered that the collapsed building was served contravention notice for exceeding the approved floors and thereafter sealed by the Lagos State Building Control Agency.

The government also discovered that in a brazen act of defiance and impunity, the owners of the building, Messrs Lekki Worldwide Estate Limited, the promoters of Lekki Gardens, criminally unsealed the property and continued building beyond the approved floors until the unfortunate incident of Tuesday which has led to the death of over 30 persons.

Governor Ambode who is said to be irked at the spate of building collapse in the state had vowed to wield the big stick so as to put a stop to the disturbing trend.

Finally, the chicken has come home to roost

What Lagos State Govt do is Collect Money, do an Integrity test, if they find Defects, they come and Mark the Building and Thats it. They never come back to see the Progress. I have seen a lot of case where the Contractors Plaster the Red Marks and thats it. Why can't they keep records and follow Through on the Marked Buildings to ensure work doesn't continue until defects are corrected?

I didn't 'insult' you. It was a silly comment you made, and i stated that accordingly.



Nobody is buying a standalone house for N25m. Did the part i mentioned about 'land density' fly out through your ear? The land for these type of estates are acquired as a bulk purchase, and because of the terrace or apartment design, several housing units are fitted on one plot of land, drastically driving down the unit cost of land per house. When the economics are run, there's perfectly enough cash to build a safe, secure house. It all depends on the business model. If the developer's plan is to minimize profit on the house to maximize returns from estate management, service charge fees etc, where's your analysis to say this is not a viable business model?

Your problem is that you speak out of ignorance. There are MANY business areas where these models are used, and they work pretty well. Sony sells the Playstation 4 at cost (or even a small loss) at $299, but they make billions in profit from sales of games, licencing fees and yearly subscription for online play.

Using your 'China' example, take a look at Xiaomi. They sell a phone with pretty much the exact same specs as the $700 Galaxy S7 for $400. While Samsung makes profit from the hardware sales, Xiaomi's business model is to sell their phones at razor thin margins yet make hundreds of millions in profits from sales in the preloaded Xiaomi appstore. This has paid off since they are now one of the top 7 phone manufacturers in the world.

Your darling estate developers that sell houses at a premium are using the 'Samsung' approach. They sell FEWER units with a higher per unit profit. Lekki Gardens should nominally be on the 'Xiaomi' approach. Selling a crazy boatload of houses at small profit margins, but much higher returns from service charges.

Then you - with your limited understanding - pop up to claim that the MAJOR culprits in an apartment block collapse that killed 25 people are the folks who paid money for these flats. And you consider it an insult when you're rightfully challenged over the inanity of this claim.


And to clarify, the N25m for a terrace duplex is only in places like Ajah where land prices are MUCH cheaper than in the area where the building collapsed.

There is no need trying to score points from writing the way you write. Anyway I understand you don't know how to comment on things without using insultive phrases. Oh well, I'm not like you so do not indulge in such level of conversation. We I comment I comment, I don't insult people. Anyhow incase you missed it, I said the major blame goes to the buyers. Never said Lekki gardens nor government were not to blame. So go next time read through things before your look for opportunity to insult people. But if you feel u can't comment without insulting me, then don't bother commenting, I will understand it's the way you are and can't change. But if you comment and do not insult me, then kudos, it means you've grown and I've improved impacted on your life today. However if you feel you want to comment and continue insulting then my brother Na God go hand that one dey ooo.

Anyway my understanding of this what you are saying is that, If Hyundai tells you they can make Gwagon for Hyundai price and with Hyundai parts you will believe ? Who does that? If you tell me it's right to go with Lekki gardens despite all the poor ratings, then you are entitled to your own opinion.

texazzpete:
I see this extremely stupid point of view, and it baffles me all the time.

Sure, lekki gardens houses are relatively cheaper than most other developers, but they aren't really CHEAP. You'd be paying N25+ million for a carcass terrace duplex...and that's not dirt cheap. Even taking out costs for the land itself (which is drastically reduced due to the density of LG buildings + terrace/apartment development), there are many here that build their houses with money in the same ballpark.

Also, LG makes extra money from the service charges and running fees from homeowners.

Some of you talk like the houses cost N5million each, That's far from the truth.

the prices for these buildings were set by Lekki Gardens. Customers just pay. To try to shuffle the blame for poor construction standards and rampant disregard for building rules on the customer is just plain daft.

Ahhh!!!! comeon you dont insult people nah! is that how you talk? If you like Cheap things, you buy nah. If you disagree with my comments,you just disagree and dont Insult.

China makes Phones that do not last the 5th Charging Circle, or that might burn your other appliances, so are you telling me the biggest problem to that is the Government control or the Subcribers? You buy a house for 25m. Thats not even up to the price of land in that area. but you want to use that money to own a complete house, whose Daft now? You can see the Writing on the wall yet you still push the botton and open the door. So whose Daft?

Please Carefully comment next time and dont insult people. I beg you. Lets be matured.

Oga Brabus I can see you know a lot about Structural Calcs. Your professionalism na top. but lets come down to the level of laymen like us. forget those story of Following Structural Calculation to confirm the Live/Dead Load Analysis, Steel Analysis, Shear Force and Movement Information. Thats not what I feel is the problem, those na many grammar.

This is a Clear case of Lekki Garden Bring Small Money put am for contractor hand, and expect contractor to make the figure work no matter what, and Contractor collects what he feels is his gain inside and use the remainder to work, before you know the money becomes too micro for the project. The major blame should go to the buyers who like Cheap things, you want to buy a house with money you know wont build you Carcass. didnt you think of how is it possible for the Sellers to make gain like. Oh! the sellers are not there to make gain right? only you the buyer is expected to gain from the process right? Thats a case of when people deceive their selves. you want to buy things with money you know isn't realistic and expect to get what you want. O.Y.O is their case anyway. Lekki Gardens Build Cheap Houses because they know people like their Buyers are everywhere. They want to eat their cakes and still have it.

ewizard1:
First of all. I want to say a big kudos to Oga Skimanski of D&S.

My battery was warning me of 5%, i was just praying it dies after i'm done with this thread. Seems God answered my prayer.

What really got me was the fact that you do not just Design and Construction of Buildings, mehn those woodworks are cray!

CONSTRUCTION! Thats one thing i have always loved all my life. I tjink i'm very good at it. Though not in buildings but in woodworks or order kinds. Inshort, i prefer building mine to buying a ready made. So silly i followed that dumb belief of getting very rich working in a white collar office made me went for business management.

You are really a definition of DESIGN & STRUCTURE cause you perfected both! Kudos one more time.

I still promised myself going for some off management trainings i love e.g Home Decors and Design. I can even join your Woodwork design team to learn! more!

Attached are Bookshelf i did in school for EED Project, tho i saw the design online but built it myself from A-Z

First picture is the final look of the shelves
Second is how the shelves are used. Did have time to take a picture with the final pic with books in.

I love the First Design. Its really lovely. The fact that it can serve a lot of purpose does the Job for me. Thanks a lot boss for the Compliments. Its nice to see people that appreciate what we do. Will like to share Ideas with you someday, because u strike me like some1 thats very creative
