I was taught my mother tongue before I learnt to speak English. I do not think either language has suffered as a result.

herquleez: There is recourse for your Mr one chance. For the mere fact that he contacted professionals (lawyers and surveyors) who went ahead to draft the agreement and the survey plans respectively without doing proper search as required by law, those professionals are culpable.

As professionals we have a duty of care and due diligence and once we fail our clients who have put their trust and faith in us, those clients can sue us o.

@op, you have done well by not involving yourself. Ive been in a situation like that. It's sad though.

This will not stop his house from being demolished.

Marpol: 5Million down the drain! Is there anyway he can recover at least something?

I have an uncle who also does land verification and he is actually friends with the Surveyor-General of Lagos state, who is a very straightforward man and is very categorical about purchasing committed land:

NO AMOUNT OF BRIBERY OR FRIENDSHIP WILL SAVE ANY COMMITTED LAND AND ANY STRUCTURES ON THEM.

This is one case of look well before you leap. If you leap, it will be too late to do anything. So N5million is gone and gone forever.

The issues that Lawyer is raising on the perils of buying COMMITTED LAND are indeed very timely.

In fact it is better to spend all that money in a night club than to take your hard earned money to buy committed land, build on it and then have it demolished.

Many people do not know the implications of the Land Use Act which rests authority of ALL land in Nigeria and its contents with the President and his assistants in the various states (the Governors). People never believed that Lagos Badagry road will be expanded and all structures beside it demolished until it began to play out before their very eyes.

Finally, I was taught in Economics that division of labour necessitates exchange. No human being is created with the power to do it all. Therefore, those elements of existence that are outside one's area of specialization should be left to the experts. Why spend N10 million a plot, more millions on construction and then lose it all when N50,000 could have saved the day?

PENNY WISE, POUND VERY FOOLISH!

1st.deolaw:
I will make more earnings in Abuja compared lagos but the fear of spending worries me. I will earn double of my ends as at now.
Please what about business opportunities in Abuja?

Guy, stay back in Lagos. The rent alone will finish you before you even know it. Even the outskirts are getting pretty expensive.

Let me ask you: what can you do to earn money in Abuja? There are no industries. Only government establishments and concerns owned by professional services (lawyers, doctors, builders) and those whose occupation center around the construction and real estate sector.

What is your source of livelihood now? How do you intend to make money in Abuja? Abuja is all about packaging. You need to have a car to move around and to make an impression (if you want to source for contracts, big or small).

Frankly, I do not know that you are prepared for such a move.

No decent lady will fight in public to the point of wardrobe malfunction. Terrible!

Look at the yeye man. Rather than remain humble and thankful to God for coming out of the ordeal, he is still boasting about his comparative wealth.

Op, you may be surprised at this, but u have just made a contact. You may get a business in future with someone known to this US guy who will then vouch for your honesty. Opens many doors.

Mr President is launching YouWIN 3 on Nov 25th at the State House. I already have an invitation.

The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof.

A father and son connived with village elders to take away my father's land. Today that man, his son and most of the elders who concocted the arrangement are all dead. Father and son died the same month. Today, that land is uninhabited while my dad's house stands tall.

Just reach me and I will tell you the kind of prayer to hammer for 7 days only. Then go home and watch what happens to that uncle of yours and his business.

THERE IS NO DISTANCE IN THE REALM OF THE SPIRIT.

A man who fires a cruise missile from an underwater submarine to a target thousands of miles away only needs to key in the coordinates and press the enter button on his weapons system. Then he sips some tea and goes to sleep and waits for CNN, Sky News, Al-Jazeera and BBC to report the outcome of his work. SHIKENA!

Mavor: A society that tolerates the military's oppression of civilians. All because they wear uniforms and carry guns. No wonder most Nigerians are in mental slavery.

When that society is filled with people who think with their rear ends rather than their heads, refusing to cross with the pedestrian bridge and preferring to cross the busy express (ever seen the way sheep cross the roads led by their alpha male and everyone following), then that society needs to be treated like animals.

You need to see what obtains at the overhead bridge at Mararaba junction. I almost killed someone there last year coming from Keffi. Can you imagine a woman carrying a real heavy sack on her head, suddenly dashing across the road right under the pedestrian bridge?

Hmm, he probably got something slipped in his drink or food. Too bad.

Please move on. Some of these girls think guys are ATMs. Let her go and work for her money.

The eclipse in Abuja is due today by a few minutes past 1pm. Let's look out for it.

metti:
I smoke weed, baby there is a difference between eclipse and Harley Comet. The later occur every 74years, if you see it once you might not see it again, I saw it in 1985 or there about. There is the possibilty of you seeing the former more than once.

Haley's Comet comes once in 75 years. The last sighting was in 1986 which I witnessed. My grandad witnessed it in 1910. Will I see the next one? Only God knows.

Why this keeper no fit catch ball one time? I cannot recall Lucky Agbonsevbafe or Lemmy Issa spilling shots like this in Beijing '85 or Canada '87.

You are stupid. I was in the university when Abacha tried this in 1995 and it did not fucking work. Who will do the teaching? The lizards in your house?

What is going on here? Unbelievable! :

My brother, stick to the business thing.

Trying to study in the university when you have been diagnosed with dementia is going to be very challenging for you, since you say you forget things. In today's world, education is not a ticket to anything. You see how our students have been at home for 4 months. What kind of education do you get with such fragmented learning? NOTHING!

Stick to what you are good at. When you have made the money, you can then seek help. You know you are alone in this world. Your mum is late, and from what I know of polygamous homes, you are not going to get help from your dad (I mean the kind of help and support your condition needs) as long as he is married to another woman. Women are a jealous breed; you cannot even begin to imagine!

Mr Man,

Stop wasting your time on Nairaland and get Festus Keyamo involved.

It is not new. Your safety boots are big enough to house an explosive device. Many banks have had this measure in place. Not new.

He can get a marketer or a rival record label to buy out his contract from Chocolate City. That would mean further enlavement. Or he has to stick to the contract and be there till 2016.

Does Brymo not watch football to see how players' contracts are done? A club signs a player for a guaranteed salary (or a pay as you play salary if the player is too injury prone) for a number of years. If another club wants to sign the player, they have to compensate the player's club by buying out the contract, with the extra money going to the player as sign-on bonus and some going to lawyers and agents. If the player ends up staying to the end of the contract without renewing it at his present club, he becomes a free agent and any club that wants to buy him will pay the player all the money.

See?

Bliss4Lyfe: Safe Journey Aunty. We Love U.

Hater will hate wateva u do?

Evidently, u are the best Aviation Minister and dey cannot take that away.


Great Job.

I am sure you are one of those asawo babes patrolling all over Abuja. If you can see nothing wrong with the whole affair, then you must be one of them. A sitting governor channeled his security vote to give people free education in his state, another is using the resources of a regulatory agency she oversees to procure vehicles with ballistic protection. A common Minister that is here today and gone tomorrow.

HAAA! What is this? Is there no end to the level of wickedness that people can perpetrate? Probably this is not his first time molesting people and probably that is how he got infected. Barbaric bastard!

Hmm.

Never dated an ugly girl. And got married to a beautiful one too. Of course she gets a lot of attention but I no dey shake because na me dey chop all the soup plus bottom pot added.

That is not true. Fela may not have worn pants on stage, but what of his dancers? How hypocritical!

papa pee: acres lease for a year is 50,000 and hectares lease for a year is 650,000 no hide and seek you will see the place yourself and the villagers in charge your email is not going
