By Law, you owe her and you should do the right thing by simply paying her. YOu admitted that you owe her past rent, so whats the problem in being responsible?

You run a shop right? assuming i bought a dress and was owing you for it. Then i came to you and said that because i no longer wear the dress means i do not owe you anymore. How will you feel

curioupoul:
Please, lawyers, security people and legislators in the house, does a landlord has the right to request rent owed from a tenant that h/she has given quit notice and the said tenant has relocated for over a year now, because my former landlady is still disturbing me bout the rent I owed her when I was in her shop, and it is obvious that I still don't have a shop till now, she served me quit notice and I packed out, she is still saying I should come and pay what I owed or else she will use the community youth to come and deal with me. Someone should please tell me what to do.

Honestly, i dont see a problem here. When you guy moved into the estate, the pump was working. Now its your responsibility to maintain the facilities you met in working condition. That's the way am running my projects. If you are made to maintain the facilities, you will keep an eye and prevent future damage which usually arise as the result of abuse MOST TIMES.

Collectively, 2o units can buy and maintain pump. How much will it cost to fend for water yourself? This is my one kobo reasoning!

It amazes me how far Nigerian will go to cheat each other rather than create something superior. I hope someone will research the strength of this new " Discovery". They might have stumble on something better by mistake.

You can imagine where Nigerians want to channel their creativity to. Cheating people

Baba please position "OUR" flag properly or was that picture taken backwards?. Dont let me report you to Orange president

I’ll never fly a US flag outdoors in Nigeria

I was born at night but not last night.

It’s my Nigerian flag that’s outside.

Those that are not Civil Engineers think we are crazy when we go against the visible common sense theories that they believe is structural. But thats the money maker for us CE. We understand the principles that governs structure and it gives us economical advantage when we design homes.

Example; in one of my project, my roof design was less than 400K( wood and Long span Alumin). The roofer keep saying that the material wasn't going to be enough and i just told him to get the damn quantity i calculated. Guess what, we even had left over after the roofing was done.

I cant wait to relocate to Nigeria and expand my housing stock. lastly, Building in Nigeria is so Basic. Try building in a climate that has seismic and snow condition, then you will know that we are not building anything yet in Nigeria.

abdulwastecx:


He is right. The depth of foundation doesn't actually depend on how tall the building is but the location of suitable soil strata with the right properties that can carry the anticipated load of the structures, and the loading intensity of the structure.

take a look at this simple Rankin's equation for calculating the minimum depth of a shallow foundation
Dmin = (q/g) * [(1 – sinØ) / (1 + sinØ)]2
here, we have q = floor loading intensity
g = unit weight of soil that the foundation is resting on and
Ø = repose angle of the soil
floor loading intensity is a load of a structure over the area that the structure is resting on, in simple terms, it is all the load coming through the columns or walls divided by the floor area of the ground floor

unit weight is the dry density of the soil multiply by the acceleration due to gravity

the angle of repose is also a soil property

In conclusion, the depth of foundation depends on how high the floor loading intensity or the safe bearing capacity of the soil, how closely packed the soil particle is and the position of the water level

Had you heard of Oshodi thugs turn Lasma?

FabioPeter:


How on earth do you think the govt will use thugs to collect tax.

Please read up on PUNCH Through. Foundation Engineering requires Matting to spread both Live Load and Dead load that will result from your German Floor, deck , roof etc.

asids55:


this is my first time building,the money ain't an issue,I would not even be aware of this if not for mr saydfact who I give daily pictorial updates of the progress of the work..he made the issue aware to me and when I confronted the engineer,he said they usually put mats for waterlogged lands etc.

I saw this coming from a million miles away... wahala sit down;.....

EgunMogaji:


I apologize if my post gave you an impression that I was seeking your advice. Guess what, I'm not. How many jobs have you given to the person you're recommending?

Please allow me to run my project my way as long as I'm not borrowing money from you or you're going to live in it.

Thanks.

Block setting in up to Lintel... L-Pad II is taking shap

All you Baba boys do not want to face the real issue here. The evaluation is the big elephant in the room. We all know that Omo Onile repacked as Tax Valuer, will be using this tax to extort money from people and remitting some percentage to Baba in IKOYI.

I remember laughing when they said that Omo onile is being abolished in Lagos. I know something has been arrange with them to continue using them to exploit the people. Now we know their new role in Lagos

FabioPeter:


You mean it’s a bad idea for a man whose house is valued at 50m to pay 23,000/annum for govt to use to develop his host community?

The problem is WITH the value of the House to start. That house is not worth more than 55M period!!! NOW START YOUR CALCULATOR AGAIN AND TELL US OUR TAX OGA.

FabioPeter:


589,300,000 - 0.4(589,300,000) = N353,580,000

.076% of 353,580,000 = N268,720.80 if its occupied by owner

.76% of 353,580,000 = N 2,687,208.00 if rented

This charge may be considered fair if the money is properly appropriated. in residential areas like this you pay around 10k monthly security, cost of running your gen about 40k/month, water/borehole and other sundry cost all amounting to over N600,000/Annum as against N268,720/Annum.

If the government guarantees good roads, security, electricity and water. this property tax is worth every penny. Communities should engage government via town hall meetings, make their demands and extract government commitment. We got to be pounds wise.


*What I find irrational is the % cost disparity between apartment rented out and that occupied by owner.

Yes it is 100% granite.

Tequilah:


Your countertop looks like granite! Or am I mistaken? Great work, by the way.

Please lets not forget that Ogun State is also run by Tinubu's Puppet!!! I have noticed that Amosun is copying Lagos as well. Go to Lands in Ogun State and try to process your C of O, then you will see! I just hope Amosun will not let Tinubu exploit Ogun as he is doing in Lagos now. Omo Ogun La Wa O...Ogun State should come first, not Tinubu's pocket and his sell-out political mentality. The same Tinubu gave the Yoruba mandate of 2015 Presidency to Hausa and now they have shut him the Bleep Off.

Obi1kenobi:
Ogun state is well poised to reap massive returns from the anti-people, anti-business policies of this administration's lunacy which it calls "revenue generation". For years, manufacturing and heavy industries have seen Ogun as the prime destination, but the capital flight will only escalate in years to come, with businesses and residents streaming over the state border to a more business-friendly environment.

LOL... How many properties in Lagos has any "Documents" you mention here

This law is APC way of rubbing poor citizen and directing the money into their crony's pocket. Tinubu and his boys at work as usual.

I AM VERY SURE YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE STEALING AND OPPRESSING THE PEOPLE TO BUY BENTLEY IN IKOYI AND LEKKI.

What infrastructures did you see in Ajegunle, okokomaiko; Badagry express is still where it was and many more. Now compare that to Lekki and IKoyi where these people has their personal investment?

Lekki -Ikoyi Bridge what the state needs is Ikorodu - Island Bridge and the Middle of lagos will be free from traffic. But these Dummies are more interested in enriching themselves by taxing the poor people.

If you people want to continue driving your Bentley, Invest in Factories, Manufacturing and young Nigerians; not So Called Tax or LUC

davodyguy:
In my next thread, I'll elaborate on the enumeration and Valuation that's commencing next week.

Ahead of the valuation, the attached flier shows what home owners you get ready and present to the valuers when they arrive.

As posited feel free to ask any question regarding the land Use charge and I'll oblige you with response.

It is better to get information from the right source rather than from rumors

Dude, I miss your craziness. Now please update us on you projects; I will like to see how they look now. Those were lovely projects, especially the Beach House. I was hoping you will resurface. Love your ideas

brabusINTL:
Oga Haji, what do you think?

I love this design so much. I will be contacting you to buy the plan very soon. And thanks for the explanation as well.

darenyx:


No offence taken... true the land is quite small (its less than a quater plot afterall).. considering the building and we did our best to ensure we made good use of the available space...

What we did for the ground floor was to have mini flats which would require less space.. and give us enough clerance between the fence and the building (giving us 3m and 2m respectively on both sides).
we only had columns in front to take care the expansion upstairs...
So it was a compromise on our side nd also on the part of the local cda.. else the plot would have been totally useless..

Br.

Yes Sir, l love that area. I'm currently building in OPic State Agbara. That place is so underrated. But those who knows; know, and are taking advantage of the local economy.

chukzyfcbb:
after observing how that place has grown in the last 11years.

I now make it a mandatory, that if you must buy an land, Please always check if that area will bring employment.

Any land within an area that will not bring employment to the area either via schools/Market/etc doesn't have potential.

That Igbesa alone taught me a lot I need for my future sojourns.

Great work you are doing here. I love small houses. But I have to ask this question and I hope you will not take offense. Will the Setback Meet the Building Code of that area? Just curious because that land is way too small for this building. I sure that is out of your job scope to worry about

https://www.nairaland.com/4371557/land-use-charge-law-2018#65421340


Is Anybody aware of this matter of Land Use Charge Law?....especialy when the Gov. has not provided any amenities in most area...Tenants go hear am!!!

The issue i see with your estate was the same problem most developers has. When you did the first project successful, you did not concentrate on making sure it is fully livable, rather, you went to start multiple other new ones without completing the first. Lekki garden got into problem too as a result of this same method.

If i were you, i would have gone in there and build my own personal house in the first estate and motivate few other that are capable to build something too. Even if the place is not ready to live in, i will build parks and take my kids there to play and host events to encourage development.

Just the way i would have done it. My opinion is not golden. I wish to meet you someday. You can use some little help to get things done

spyder880:


Thanks for bringing this up, I marketed my lands aggressively, and the first one was sold out in less than 6 months when I didn't do any radio/TV adverts or print fliers. I stopped a lot of people from paying and even returned money to some people who couldn't complete their payment at the agreed time. The second estate moved fast too, but I chose to reserve a lot of plots for future development. The lands were cheap, but not is an already well developed zone.

My main problem is with speedy development of the area. Attracting plot owners to build will need infrastructure and the cost is staggering. So I decided to change tactics, I even tried selling a good house of mine to speed up development in the estates so people can build immediately. Now the road to the area is being constructed by the state government. So I wait a little.

But my next estate must be in a well developed area where we can move and start building immediately, but can people buy in this tough economy? Not many people can afford plots for upwards of N5 million in Nigeria of today. I also have plans to start single building development for sale very soon.

With all this said, all I can add is thank you Sir and God bless many of your generation!

My brother please save your strength no need arguing trust me. People only know what they think they know.

They say Nigeria is bad and they can't live or invest in the country but yet they build a retirement home in Nigeria. Claiming to connecting to their root. Anybody can live overseas and then fly to Nigeria when ever they want to visit families which is the same as connecting to your root. The truth why they build retirement home is simply because it cheaper to build in Nigeria and 2000 dollars pension in Nigeria will give the wonderful life style country overseas will never give them. Why not retire in these wonderful countries and stay in their seniors homes where they have helps all the time and people to wipe them down? Yet they chose to come back to Nigeria where their 2000 dollars pension will enable them hire drivers, cleaners, cooks to prepare better afam soup. Yet they condemn this same country.

Nigeria is bad but you see more people like us working overseas on Nairaland property forum building, looking and asking questions about their buildings or friends buildings been erected in Nigeria. Yet herdsmen never come out come kill them o.

Nigeria like I said before have her challenges and the same applies to other countries. No Nigeria TV show how bad the crime rate is in America but they are quick to showcase the ones in Nigeria. Let me not beat this USA own too much but people should do us a favor watch Akon's video on how USA market herself.

Come see some Nigerians in my church that left well paying jobs in Nigeria only to come here to no Job. Guess what, the church every now and then will contribute money for them to hold themselves. Some are here working at Walmart and saying if only they knew. At thesame time some with nothing happening for them in Nigeria come here make money and then go back home to invest.

Some Nigerians overseas are the biggest hypocrites ever and the funny questions some always ask is if Nigeria is good why are you here and then I ask them if India / America is good why are Indians moving businesses to Nigeria, why are so many of them seeking employment in Nigeria , why will a Chinese man aquire lands from contract money he earned in Nigeria and then sell those lands back to Nigeria at higher margin and finally why are so many of these Nigerians that say evil about the country coming to retire in Nigeria?

My brother like I said save your strength, it not worth arguing with people that argue based on what they see on the Internet.

If you support the Buhari regime, then you are part of the problem of Nigeria. Nothing has changed since the 80s simply because some fufu heads believe in the same losers and keep electing them to role the nation. Meanwhile, three generations wasted away between 1980 and 2000.


Abeg lets continue with construction while we still have that right

I totally understand your view. My take on this matter is simple. The corruption is perpetuated by us NIGERIANS. All that you outlined are the result of YOU and I. All am saying is that we Nigerians needs to caution ourselves and do the right things at all times, then our country will change for better. Running away had never changes anything, but makes us a slave to other society. All our educations and intellects are used abroad rather than returning home to apply whatever we have learned worldwide on our travels. Example is the Chinese; they travel abroad to acquire knowledge, then send it back home to copy and mass produce. That's All!

GoodFaith:

You failed to address the great issue in Nigeria corruption and me and my family mentality of stealing Nigerian people money
Nigeria regression state not moving forward
Nigerians are hard workers but we have the DNA of greed, stealing Nigerian money
Last Christmas Nigerian was not able to visit family why No gas "petroleum"
Few people have the money
96% of us live in poverty
Why are people leaving Nigeria ?
We need to stop lying to ourselves that we are developing nation moving in the right direction

"Honestly, Nigeria is the reflection of our unpatriotic self. Finally, Most people complain of Nigeria not being good, but the money they spent to ship their family abroad was not made abroad but in Nigeria to start with!!!"----- Not really some family had to take loan to send their kids away
the kids come over here to work and repay the loan
My brother had to remind me that lot of families don't have any source of income that their Son and daughter have to send money home to pay rent and feed
Your experience is great that is not the experience of 96% of nigerians

Andrew who left then still dey there ooo. The place wey him left self, still remain the same!!! Nobody dey fix am for Andrew

diordaves:


I'm not sure but I think this music maybe good for you. Since 1988 though but we just dey perambulate and we still dey same same place. In fact we are not in the same place but actually gone back since 1988. Nigeria go survive, na prayer.

Thank you so much. People like you gives me hope for Nigeria. Most educated Nigerian do not know that its what a person does that he or she will have to live with.

Anywhere in the world, including developing countries; I have yet to see their wealthy citizen living abroad. Example: Mike, Dangote and even my own common neighbors in Magodo. Some has Visas and still never used till this very day. I have cousins that are too busy with their life in Nigeria, they refused to travel when they clearly has the means to do it a world over.

Honestly, Nigeria is the reflection of our unpatriotic self. Finally, Most people complain of Nigeria not being good, but the money they spent to ship their family abroad was not made abroad but in Nigeria to start with!!!

Nigeria is a Developing country and it needs her citizens to stop running from their responsibilities, rather, work on creating our country to be like the one we willing fully slave our youthfulness, recourses and energy for abroad

WHAT A BIRD EATS; ITS WHAT ITS WILL FLY WITH...Love Nigeria despite is imperfections and be willing to change what's within your avenue

Guy, here in Alberta in Canada, Nigerians are respected and not seen as worthless. We are in every sector you can think of in this place and we walk around with our chest up. Feel free to confirm from any Nigerian living here except the lazy ones.

The truth be told only Nigerians suffering oversea always tell people and give reasons why others should not visit Nigeria.

No struggling Nigerian oversea can live a good life in Nigeria because you will do everything to make sure you enjoy the same amenities you enjoy oversea.

"Conversations with Nigerians always end with money," guy without money, how do you expect to pay your bills oversea, give your kids the best education, build a retirement home in Nigeria, enjoy the best vacations or like me eat better Nigerian food and visit the best night outs joints in Nigeria (with my wife) . Look we all work very hard and will invest in whatever place that will yield a better return and it is your choice what ever you do with your money.

Yes, the country is full of challenges but how is our complaining going to help if we don't do our part to help the country.

A friend of mine, a graduate from Harvard owe a big mechanic shop in Lagos. Trust me he makes enough to sustain his family and himself. If you must know the shoprite if I am correct at lekki came to be by young Nigerians that schooled oversea but came back to make a difference in Nigeria. To survive and make it in Nigeria requires better brain and you must think wide and fast.

The same Africa Trump called a shit hole was the same place he said his friends are making a lot of money.

Like I said before, meet the right people in Nigeria and I bet you, the way you see the country will change.

We did the concrete section of the landscape detail of the project. There will be raw granite place in the front and some plant will go into the area demarcated at the sides. Enjoy more pictures.

L-Pad II has gotten to the DPC. I cant wait to see it raise to the Decking in no time! Grateful somebody!!! Latest development picture, enjoy

Why I understand your view, the issues that guides against such design are few. One that is major is the CROSS VENTILLATION. We don't have regular electricity, hence we can not install vents in areas that are not exposed to the perimeters. Hope that helps

More

Filling is fully done and water is being used for settlement. Sockaway set and plastered. We plan to use the sockaway for storing water.

I think the columns are over kill though!!! 9units for 12'x12'×12'. That actually half the same amount of column that we are using to support one story deck slab here too.

We filled foundation with sand from sockaway...and yes, we will be installing basket at the bottom of our columns since vehicles will be stationed on the top
