We no longer need roads and airports and we should not build or complete road and airport projects just because they should have been completed decades ago?

So, building infrastructures now means a waste of money?

Your post makes no sense, it has no sane and rational meaning, it's just one of the meaningless rubbish people post for likes.

There's nothing fundamentally wrong with an administration correcting the mess, rot, incompetence, decay and culture of abandonment by the previous administration.

.......but with your mentality, something is fundamentally wrong with you.

Not sure what hole your crawled out from in Lagos or wherever you are. You should follow your own advice below:

"It is not by force to comment, go and sit down somewhere with your pointless rant because all you managed to come up with is ignorance and rubbish"

Hmmm.

Dangote's refinery will fuel the entire country and still be enough for export.

An oil rich nation, such as Nigeria, could not build a workable refinery that this One man is building.

Instead they continue to waste resources on roads and airport construction that should have been completed in the 60's-70's. But then they were fighting Tribal and Political wars at the time.


Something is fundamentally wrong with this country.

How do you claim to serve God, but worship 'Mammon' at the same time.

Almighty God and Mammon in the same picture - Such effrontery!

God is indeed patient.

Very sad. The day you sign up to the armed forces, you officially sign your death warrant.

It's a matter of when, not If.

May God console the bereaved.

Any idea on a good fairly priced car scanner?

Brand and cost.

Appreciate any feedback.
Thanks.

This is what happens when a professional body that should defend the interest of her members is only concerned about going about to visit wealthy politicians,musicians and clerics all in the name of crumbs!
If their TAMPAN or whatever happens to be active ,this won't happen..unfortunately, anything goes.. I feel pained for the guy..I really hope help locates him!!

True, in an ideal world. But he might not be an active member, or has not been paying his dues to the Association.

Nevertheless, he just dd the best thing for himself - cry out!

I should have advised that he gets a lawyer - but Nigeria is a lawless country. Plus the people he will be chasing may not have compensation money to pay. They may also be at it, in the court, for years, wasting scarce resources.

Crying out to the Public was his best bet!

He gets a lot of things wrong.

If his motivation for law was on the payment of salary - he is quite short sighted.


It is quite myopic to leave a Professional course for a normal degree.

The day you become a lawyer - you have been equipped to work and make money for yourself!

The first few years is just to learn the ropes, after 3 years - any smart lawyer should be making his money for himself.

Anyways best of lucks to the Friend, no course is useless.

Is power of attorney used in litigation and dispute survey cases in the east??
If so, why’s it still illegal??
Pls educate me.
What about the deed of conveyance used in rivers state?? Is that also illegal?

Is power of attorney used in litigation and dispute survey cases in the east??
If so, why’s it still illegal??

I am not sure what you mean. But, Power of Attorney can be used to give someone a right to defend a legal interest in land in a court.

In other words, if A is the owner of White House. A can grant B a Power of Attorney to Represent him in court - in order to defend A's ownership right over White House. This doesn't however make B the owner of White House.

I hope that clarifies the use of PoA.

What about the deed of conveyance used in rivers state?? Is that also illegal?

The word Conveyance generally means the process of transfering a legal interest in property - and legal interest could be lease, title, mortgage, sublease, etc.


Accordingly, Deed of Conveyance is used usually to transfer any kind of legal interest - ideally, except, for title. A Deed of Assignment is the valid and legally acceptable means of transfering Title/ownership in land.

It will be improper to use a Deed of Conveyance to transfer legal title.

Gudiza:
What is DD sir?

Apologies, it means Due Diligence.

codemaster2much:
Please, I have a family in ogun that wants to sell land, all they have to give me is family receipt and Deed of assignment they typed, I am on the right path?

Please Get a good lawyer to help you investigate the title of whoever is selling to you and to assist with reviewing the documentation, including possibly perfecting the documents for you at the Lands Registry - to ensure the land is registered in your name.

This include payment of stamp duties, registration fees etc.

Please read this article for more info on the TYPICAL complete process for a valid land acquisition anywhere in Nigeria (NOTE: this may only vary slightly according to the relevant state law).

https://www.mondaq.com/nigeria/real-estate/974958/overview-of-land-registration-process-in-nigeria.

Please don't accept Land receipt and half-harzardly drafted Deed of Assignment without your lawyer investigating valid title and suitability of the documents for any future registration in your name (in case, you are not financially bouyant to register now).

You can get a lawyer to do these things for as a low as 50k barring administrative costs. Trust me, you are saving yourself future unnecessary depression!

Hope that helps.

momove4real25:
That government has carved the area out for them to own. But most important thing is for your to do proper search by yourself before buying. Take for instance in Ogun State there is committed acquisition, this status of land you will be unable to have c of o and approval. That means the land is needed by government for a certain thing which might not be quick one. If purchased by you government might come after 10years or below to demolish. Ensure you do proper search. Government policies affects land a lot

Apt.

My only reservations with the comments on this thread is that most land are unregistered - so your search at the Lands Registry should be considered insufficient.

Ideally, please advise your clients to carry out informal DD - particularly with respect to family ownerships.

Most of the cases in court linger because several members of the same family sell the same land to different people. No land registry has those information.

If you are reading this and you are planning on buying a land - you may want to conduct DD at the Court, Probate and Family history.

All the best.

Albright1:
Nice piece from the op
However, your survey plan is very important.
It clearly spells out your landed property.
Preparing a legal document before the survey plan is almost tantamount to rubbish.
Your document cant specify the actual position of your land.. the survey plan does.

Someone said something about “power of attorney” not being legal
Yet still being used in litigation and dispute survey cases....
It is commonly used in the east .. the south southerners also have their distinct title... that doesn’t make it less legal .

I base in Abia
You can as well contact me for your surveying jobs and engineering surveying services all over Nigeria.

It makes it ILLEGAL.

Please don't mislead people about what you are not an authority on.


If you are reading this message now or anytime in the future - A Power of Attorney is not a document to show Title over land.

Its just you granting someone an authority to deal (sell, lease or manage) a property on YOUR behalf.

If you are purchasing a land anywhere in Nigeria, please ensure you have at least a properly drafted and executed Deed of Assignment. You may also have a contract of sale of land (aka Sale of a Land Agreement) and Survey: but that's not overly necessary TO SHOW TITLE.

The DoA shows transfer of legal title/ownership.

Jesus is the way truth and life. John 14:6

Judybash93:
"If Christ did not arise, the faith of Billions of people would have been in vein. We experience his power through answered prayers because he ressurected and is alive. Again - I experience this everyday!"
In relation to this, the fact that a lot of people believe in something or have faith in something doesn't necessarily prove it's authenticity. It only proves that they believe. Also, people have literally bombed others because they believe they will meet 72 virgins somewhere. Their belief doesn't make it worthwhile or true.




Even all scientific statements about the past cannot be verified (including, the Bing Bang Theory). We have what we can observe to bring up hypothetical situations that can be further researched and that's why we have other scientists who bring up other models to explain the origin of the universe. Btw, science doesn't make claims of the truth.

"Nothing really explains why only Earth is habitable or why the planets hang in space without falling for the last centuries." The reason why the earth harbours life is because we lie in a habitable zone and in the future we might come across planets that share such characteristics with our planet. The size of universe is still in dispute as our current scientific knowledge and understanding of the way the universe works is still at it's youth. So, the earth is the only planet we know that harbours life isn't a proof that there's no other lifeform out there but it's proof that it's the one we know of. it'll be safe to say, i don't know if any lifeform exist elsewhere but there's a probability that some might exist somewhere in this gargantuan universe. The planets hang in space because of gravity. That's the force that literally keeps them in motion in relation to other bodies. This is a fact. You can read more on this.

"They are true because we continue to experience those words today, as they were reported in the holy bible." Which experiences sir?

"Essentially, I do not need to test Jesus' resurrection to believe it occured. It is a Christian fact - and it will be understandable if you can't comprehend this given your human limitations."
A fact is defined as an objective consensus on a fundamental reality that has been agreed upon by a substantial number of experts. Gravity is a fact. That the earth is not flat is a fact. How did the resurrection of Jesus become a fact? I think i have the answer to this already.. faith

Bro, I studied philosophy in my first degree, and I was the best grad student in my set and as such I am quite familiar with renegade thoughts like yours. I can easily mention 10 logical fallacies inherent in ur arguments.

I will start from the rare. Fact is not objective. Facts are situational. Something may be a fact today and tomorrow it isnt. By the very nature of the word fact, nothing can be a fact if it is subject to change. Nothing can be a fact today and not be tomorrow.

By way of example - it used to be a fact that the Earth was thought to be flat, now it is not. Gravity could seize t exist tomorrow, God forbid the world ends and the earth crashes. Religious facts operate in the same manner. Observable today and tomorrow not observable to the five senses.

I won't take you to kant's concept of Truths but you could read further on this.

The planets hang in space because of gravity. That's the force that literally keeps them in motion in relation to other bodies.

Gravity is a human nomenclature. What exactly is gravity? Can man recreate gravity? How does it hold the planets? Of what form? Character is it? How does it hold all the planets and objects in the galaxies? What formed gravity? Why are the planets just 12? Why are humans only on earth? Why do we have the moon? Science can't explain all of these. At best it can only raise conjectures.

We have what we can observe to bring up hypothetical situations that can be further researched and that's why we have other scientists who bring up other models to explain the origin of the universe. Btw, science doesn't make claims of the truth.

The whole of scientific enquiry is a pursue of truth. Read Karl Popper for more information.

n relation to this, the fact that a lot of people believe in something or have faith in something doesn't necessarily prove it's authenticity. It only proves that they believe. Also, people have literally bombed others because they believe they will meet 72 virgins somewhere. Their belief doesn't make it worthwhile or true.

True. Belief is subjective and it doesn't make itself worthwhile. But that's the whole point of belief.... And this applies as well to cultural norms. In fact authencity is never acheiveable in a world as complex and relative as ours. And that's why we have the Law. Any moral or religious practices that goes against the common good is criminalised.

Judybash93:
In relation to enough evidence, I'll set the standard on what one can test and rank in relation to reality. For example, a claim that a person came back to life and ascended into the skies defies any known explanation. This sought of claim might have a number of anecdotal or hearsay evidence but cannot be tested to prove its reliability in relation to reality.

AGAIN, human logic can't comprehend spiritual realities - it's spiritual and that's why It cannot be tested with physical apparatus. It is also illogical to say something did not occur because it cannot be tested. Your argument commits an Argumentum ad logicam. Even all scientific statements about the past cannot be verified (including, the Bing Bang Theory). Nothing really explains why only Earth is habitable or why the planets hang in space without falling for the last centuries.

Essentially, I do not need to test Jesus' resurrection to believe it occured. It is a Christian fact - and it will be understandable if you can't comprehend this given your human limitations.


In addition, can those who believe have those experiences without the faith they claim to have?

If Christ did not arise, the faith of Billions of people would have been in vein. We experience his power through answered prayers because he ressurected and is alive. Again - I experience this everyday!

In relation to the statement "Even if the stories have been altered, we know God is able to those things and many more, because we ourselves continue to bear witness to these things in our lives." How can one come to the conclusion that the god in the book is the one behind the experiences?

By Faith.

Moreover, if you say the book has been altered, how is it still the truth?

Truth is a subjective term. What was received is believed to be the truth by Christian standards whether or not altered. They are true because we continue to experience those words today, as they were reported in the holy bible.

Yeah, sure, benefit is subjective and i can also claim that i had perfect health throughout last year because i didn't smoke, drink and was on a diet throughout the better part of the year. I don't think that can be faulted either.

Sure.

"so that a Pastor may pray in Jesus name for a man to receive his sight and does so instantly without him touching the blind man. In this instance, causality cannot be used in explaining spiritual benefits" i will like to see this in action or let's make it even better, I'll like to see a confirmed amputated limb grow.

Yes, you should find some to visit TB Joshua's church.

Judybash93:
Thanks for the answer but i didn't say that faith is belief in something without evidence. I said faith is belief "without enough evidence". I know that people can believe in something based on personal experience or experience of others such as what you said and that can serve as evidence up to a point but is it enough?

Also, you stated that "The only reason people have faith is because they believe some people, either in the past or presently, have benefited from their faith in that deity- which essentially forms the corpus of evidence, either written down or passed orally, that religious people hold on to."
In terms of the written version, do we have access to the real copies of the original, if oral, is there a possibility that original message must have been altered considering time and space as we've observed in the game called 'telephone'? Moreover, they have benefited from the deity in what way? Can we rule out natural causality in terms of the so called benefits?

For clarity, I will oblige you this rejoinder.

1. "Enough" is a subjective word. At what point is evidence enough and by whose standard? I would rather stick with evidence or lack of evidence for completeness.

It's therefore irrelevant to argue if the experience on which people base their belief is negligible or significant. What is important is that people genuinely build their faith on these experience.

2. Whether we have access to original copies of the Bible cannot be verified. The same applies to oral accounts. The bible is passed down from ages - and yes, the present versions may not entirely be on all fours with the original versions.

But then again, what's important is that we continue to witness the experience narrated in the bible. These serves as evidence that the contents of the Bible are true today as they were ages ago. Even if the stories have been altered, we know God is able to those things and many more, because we ourselves continue to bear witness to these things in our lives.

3. Benefit is subjective. If I told you God blessed me with perfect health last year and I never took any medication throughout the year, this is a personal experience. You cannot fault it, because that is essentially my own personal reality.

In the same vein, the principle of causality CAN never explain spiritual benefits. Causality is based on empirical association - so that an event occurs because it is caused by another pre-existing, independent event. By its nature causality must be explainable in physical terms otherwhise it seizes to be causation.

Spiritual benefits are not explicable in terms of physical events. Something entirely incorporeal brings about physical effects - so that a Pastor may pray in Jesus name for a man to receive his sight and does so instantly without him touching the blind man. In this instance, causality cannot be used in explaining spiritual benefits.

You only talk of causation in terms of scientific corporeal explanations.

The5DME:
Please gtf off my mention.

You shouldn't mention me in the first place.

Judybash93:
Okay sir, faith.
My opinion on faith is that it is what we use to believe something when we don't have enough evidence. Does that mean there isn't enough evidence to believe in the Bible except by using faith?

Moreover, faith is what other religious groups use in determining their believes in their various deities. So, how can we use that tool called 'faith' to arrive at the truth if that's what everybody uses but arrives at different conclusions.
Thanks in anticipation.

.


You are largely correct bro. I absolutely agree with you that faith is the substance of each religion - and it would be wrong to measure the veracity of one religious belief over the other based solely on faith.

However, there is a logical flaw with the argument that faith means lack of evidence. In fact, if we go by way of semantics, it is really impossible to have faith without evidence.

The only reason people have faith is because they believe some people, either in the past or presently, have benefited from their faith in that deity- which essentially forms the corpus of evidence, either written down or passed orally, that religious people hold on to.

E g as Christians, It is essentially the evidence of the things we have heard, touched and felt of the Word of God that builds the Christian faith. God has established many of these things through answered prayers, by miracles and testimonies which some of us have been privileged to experience. Thus, faith does not mean a lack of evidence.

The flaw in your argument is to think that something incorporeal such as Faith cannot validly bring about physical evidence. That is wrong. And of course, this doesn't apply only to Christianity. I have seen native doctors heal someone of bad diseases without person visiting an hospital.

Essentially what I mean is that there is an alternate world. Not everything is explicable by science and technology. And the bible is one of those sources we can look to for explanations on how the world is the way it is. Whether we choose to believe in it's content as inspired by God is itself a matter of faith.

The5DME:
Do you know how stupid you sound right now?

I don't. Kindly enlighten me on how stupid I sound.

And are you normally this rude when you talk with strangers? The world is a very small place you know.

Judybash93:
Please sir, I'll like to know how you came to the conclusion that the Bible was actually written by men inspired by a god? I'm not saying they weren't, i just want to know how you came to this conclusion because who knows, a person could have written a story and claim that his words are inspired by a god without actually providing any evidence. So, please how did you arrive at this conclusion?

By Faith bro.

No one can believe those things, except by Faith.

It is Faith that gives strength to the Christian belief in God and the holy bible.
