Our AK-47 wielding errand boys are up for grabs for anyone who can "drop something"

Yansh lickers INC. How is business?

The bitter truth is that those kind of girls are from very wretched background. They try to cover up their insecurities with such a facade. They feel they need to prove themselves to one and all. They got nothing to offer.
Even if you were a rich guy, don't waste your time with those kinda girls. When they gradually get used to the level of comfort your money can afford, they start looking for a bigger catch. Did you for a moment think she bought that Brazilian mop on her head, the shoes and bags from doing a decent job?

Any discerning person ought to have realized this. There is simply no way natural, untampered with fruit juice could taste as sweet as the bottled ones. Just get a bottle of any juice, be it apple, orange, pineapple...any fruit. Then get fresh fruits to compare the tastes. Unless your taste buds are defective, you should notice the higher sugar content of the bottled juice.

Also, I think some amount of CO2 is added to the mix, to make it slightly fizzy (though not anywhere near as those in sodas) as well as preservatives for a longer shelf life. Natural juice with nothing added CANNOT have such long shelf life of several months as bottled juice, except it was kept frozen.

I usually don't click on any link referring me to one of these mushroom blogs being set up by any halfwit wit epileptic internet connection. I decided to check out this story because it interested me. Unfortunately, it was d same 4 paragraphs of print and that single picture the blog still had to offer. NOTHING ELSE.

Why bother making a reference to the blog when it had nothing else to show? This just reinforced my decision never to click in any more link to a blog. At least, not on Naira land. You all are the same bunch of.....

Late this evening I took another look at this land we are planning to buy and am still convinced just like before that its a worthwhile investment. I walked around the area alone, without agents following me and I was still very interested in turning this jungle into a new estate which will grow with time.
I also had another series of meetings with some more community elders, we were agreeing terms for payment and getting to know each other. Apart from the N400,000 they agreed to collect as the price for the land, they are also making another demand of some money to be paid for elders signatures and other things. They are demanding for a cow and many drinks for the community as this is going to be a community event. I will be allowed to make a video recording of the feast and signing ceremony as evidence of sales. More expenses, but we shall go ahead.

As part of my marketing strategy for selling all of this land, I visited my former company where I had worked for about 20 years to sell the idea to them. It was an emotional event because I had never visited them since I resigned my appointment last year to pursue building development businesses.

I enjoyed a lot of goodwill while working with this company so all doors were thrown open for me to walk in, I spoke to my former managers, supervisors and former colleagues. (I am building a house now for my former H.O.D from the company) I talked to all of the ones I had time to meet to buy Into this estate. They wanted me to repeat this visit and explain the whole details to them. I think I also need to print flyers and some posters to place at strategic places in Enugu city to better bring the attention of people to this estate.

Amen, bro!

I have an idea of the kind of fire burning in you over this, fueled by the vision you have of what this expanse of land could be transformed into in a few short years. Right now, I wish I was there to take that stroll with you and see it all.

Just remember that your Nairaland family were privy to this piece of real estate when you first floated the idea. When it comes time to payment and allocation, abeg, we were here first o! Don't say later that former colleagues and denizens of Enugu city beat us to the ball
I commend your moves and your passion. It's going to definitely pay off.

UcGadaz:
14plots of land available in Imo State.
Location: Ohaji LGA.
Suitable soil for largescale agriculture.

What is the asking price per plot? You didnt say how you could be contacted.

@Poster: Seem like you have the time to frequently update your status to reflect whatever you are doing, where ever you are, whatever the time. Keep it up. You obviously have plenty of "updating" time.

So he and Denrele Edun swap shoes too...?

Oga,
I'm Sure your statement about separating men from boys was in good humor. But just in case someone takes it seriously, let me clarify. Some interested folks don't live in Enugu. Some don't even live in the east and they visit once in a long while, but are interested in this property investment. Now that Spyder has opted to do everything for them, they would rather take the option and get the land fenced, and with Spyder keeping an eye on their property. They don't want a situation where in future they will be looking for someone to go there and secure the property physically, only to find Spyder is too busy to do that, and there's no one else they can entrust with that responsibility. So now that spyders blood is boiling to work, they rather engage him.
Gracias!

Of course, bro. It was in good humor. I totally understand your point. I believe we are all aiming at same goal. Paying N1m is the coolest option if u can afford to. Was only advocating for those of us whose pockets are presently not deep enuf.

spyder880:
May I use this opportunity to thank you all for all the enthusiasm you are showing here, it makes me much more confident than ever.I also thank all those who have posted their thoughts about the best way to make this venture a successful one. Your contributions are very good, more so for those that have sent me private mails to my yahoo mail in box.

I got a wonderful idea suggested to me by one of our members here yesterday night. The gentleman is of the opinion that both those who want the N1m package and those who want the N600,000 package can join in this same estate. He suggested we shift those with N600,000 to one side of the estate and then fence and put good gates on the other half where we allocate to those who will pay N1m.

I think this is a bright suggestion, how do you like it?

In other words, separate the men from the boys. Im not sure if it's a nice idea at this stage, or not. But then, you have to check how many people are gunning for this. Are their numbers substantial enough to partition a sizeable number of plots for this, or just a few individuals who need more or less fenced plots to themselves?

I think at this stage, have an open mind. Take everyone along. Include everyone for N600, N800 and N1m. After all the plots have been sold out, you can now get a clearer picture of the best way to go about it, while considering the number of people in each category. If it doesn't look balanced, we have to look for a middle ground. Of course, cash is king, and so, give "Ndi ji ego" their preference. I hail you.

spyder880:
We pay N600,000 for each plot of land at once, then use the money as follows;

1. Pay for the land
2. Pay the lawyer
3. Pay the surveyor
4. Pay the agents
5. Free trip of sand
6. Hire a bulldozer to create the roads so we can enter
7. Hand over the original documents to each buyer to develop his land at his own pace and time

I actually made my last comment before I saw this. This sounds great. I support this plan. However, it left out the community development levy, to ensure they have no business in the land. Can you include it? That is one other obstacle that needed taking care of, cos it would still affect the development of the estate if left for individual owners to handle.

MODIFIED: I just realized that you are posting the different options. Let me wait till you are done with it, then I can vote for the one that suits me. I was hasty because my blood dey hot!

Im all for good imputs that will seal up this deal nicely, and timely. Lets weigh all the options and put it to a vote. I'm getting good vibes from this venture. Let's make it happen, please.

mercylicious:
We are going for the 600k plot. Total cost of the land is 800k. We are accepting 2 installment of not less than 400k each and the 2nd instalment must be concluded before end of february. We are not building anything for you like fence etc. its just land , legal and survey and road to ur plot. If you are interested pm me. First deposit made b4 first week of dec.

Abeg,i will create a thread when i come back from work.

I don't understand your post. Is this concerning the same land Spyder880 is talking about, or another one?

I'm also of the opinion that this amount (N1m) be reviewed. We were looking to get cheap, affordable lands that would take a few years to witness development in its immediate vicinities. The perimeter fencing can be forgone for now. Concentrate on the survey and legal procedures.
After full payment is made, then plots can be allocated. Also, let each buyer pay for his or her plot survey when its financially convenient to do so, on the premise that the same surveyor you contracted will be used by everyone, for uniformity.
It will be most agreeable if you can give us a breakdown of the cost of each component that makes up the final cost of N1m. I was happy enough with the initial estimate of N600k, though. You are doing a great job.

Abso-effing-lutely horrible! Ikeja, the capital of the city of excellence!

BTW, its Awolowo way, not road. Awolowo road is in Ikoyi, if I'm not mistaken.

Onuokwu:
If the house in completed why not show us the live pictures?

Thank you for this observation.
People can be really funny

spyder880:
Now, this is getting really interesting. I think I have got what we need!

Start getting your funds ready because this is gonna be a real opportunity.

More gist later.

Count me in, bro. Hope your next gist won't take long before it arrives!

spyder880:
Dear all,

I made efforts to visit the site of this land to see things for myself but could not reach the location, some very bad roads as the rains are still falling, I will repeat the journey through a different route later this week.

Meanwhile another information came to me that there are some cheap lands selling around Emene area for as low as N200-300 thousand naira. I got interested and have made arrangements to visit the area later this morning. I will like us to see what the area looks like, and analyze the prospects. They are promising me as many as 50-100 plots of land. We can buy the land and allocate, survey and develop if possible. Opportunities abound.

More information about the Emene lands later today.

Dede! Let's make it happen!

spyder880:
I believe I have replied now, please inform me if you still cannot see a reply, thanks.

Thanks. I got your mail. Pls keep me updated.

spyder880:
Please send me a mail to ckenneths@yahoo.co.uk
Thanks.

Hi, spyder880.

I sent you a mail two days ago. Yet to get a response. Still waiting.

Onuokwu:
Oga Spyder, I am interested but I don't know Enugu too well. This Amorji Nike, is it a community where one can build immediately or there will be a waiting period before development gets to the area. What would be rent for 2/3 bedroom flats in a couple of years. How are you positioning this proposed 18 plots estate....owner occupier or basically low cost houses for rent?

Same questions im eager to ask. Bros spyder880, ngwanu, over to you. Im interested and I await your feedback. I just sent u a mail.

Seriously?!

28-As at April 1998, a group called MAP (Maryam Abacha for President) was set to emerge to support her for presidency in case her husband did not go on with his succession plans.

Nigerians will support anything that throws a few naira notes their way.

If Shekau decides today to use the funds available to him to campaign to be elected as president, don't be surprised to see even people you thought were responsible and respectable lining up behind him and singing his praise to high heavens.

Was it not one Ndubuisi Kanu who formed a group YEAA (Youths Earnestly Ask for Abacha) at the thick of the dictator's self succession plot?
Was it because Abacha suddenly transformed into a saint overnight?

Nigerians devoid of shame or integrity or any form of moral compass. A few naira notes and even Satan will preside over a church sermon, as long as it's in Nigeria.

In Bin Laden's voice:

"Akhmed! Khassim! Sulaiman! Come quickly. Prepare the flying camel. Those infidels have raised yet another building for our target practice!"

Great to see this mighty phoenix rise from the ashes of ground zero. You may achieve temporary victory in a mismatched warfare, but you can never conquer the strong and resilient will of a united people.

TOMORROW 27TH OCT IS THE D DAY.RESULT WOULD SHOW WHO IS BEHIND THE BLOOD STAINS. THE CAMERAS CAUGHT NOTHING.I WOULD GIVE YOU GUYS UPDATE. THE WORLD IS WICKED.THANKS FOR YOUR ADVICE.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN TOMORROW IS OF CRITICAL IMPORTANCE OF HOW THE SPIRIT WORLD WORKS,AND IT WILL HELP YOU TO LEARN FROM MY EXPERIENCE.

I can't wait to hear your findings

I may be wrong, but I thought there's an ocean separating North Africa from Europe? What's shown here is a land border and I don't see water anywhere.

maclatunji:
OP, I just finished reading your story and I am really shocked. I am not exactly sure what is shocking me but I am sincerely shocked.

Yet another depressing tale of marriage.

My advice to you is to look for someone your husband respects and beg them to talk to him on the way he treats you. Please do not mention the financial part because this your husband would just turn into ICBM after that. Give yourself peace, do things because they are the right things to do, not because you want your husband to compliment you. This will help reduce your unhappiness

You are going to need loads of forbearance with him from what I read.

You're right, bro.
Then, again, the issue of money is bound to come up when any sort of intervention is being sought. It will just take a lot of tact and wisdom not to emphasize it. I think it is better to let the husband bring up the issue of finance (which he will inevitably do) and then take it up from there. I have known men who are so arrogant and headstrong, it is beyond belief. The OP will do well to start firming her spirit of independence and start making efforts at consolidating her own assets, while in the process of trying to get the right kind of people to talk with her husband.

Men like him find it real difficult to change, and any kind of repentance he shows for now would be most likely temporary.

ademideolu:
even his grannies, as old as they are, he tongue lash them not to talk of his sisters and aunts, his uncles are even way too low to advise him. he feel rich and said anyone who will talk to him must be richer than him, ooooooopppps, why will someone say such? surely they cant talk to him because they were left alone to feed for themselves when they lost their parent. even the elder sisters too dont take to corrections from their grannies. just last month he fought with his grand pa. the old man was begging him and cant really correct him cos of the financial gains they get from him.
no father and no father figure. but what can i really do? his grand mother when she was dying said i must look after him and never divorce him, but am not happy. cant talk to my parents cos i am afraid they will think my marriage is not working and every one in the family will hear and feel the same way.

So, my assessment about him was right. Proud and boastful guys are just fighting their insecurity. All those braggadocio are defensive mechanisms he'd put in place to compensate for his short-comings. You really have a lot of work to do. He feels he owes no sympathy to anyone with a lower financial status than him, cos in his mind, he made it from scratch. Bottom line is, he is immature and the lack of good parental discipline largely contributed to it.

This won't be easy for you. Not by a long stretch. What would help you come out smelling roses in the end is your determination to succeed, and your fighting spirit. How many kids are there?

Did you specifically create an account on NL today because of this issue?

Unfortunately, you are married to a very proud and arrogant man. I feel that part of his attitude stems from the fact that his parents were not there to bring him up, and his granny didn't do enough to instill humility in him.
He probably grew up with a deep sense of independence and felt that he is self made, so he should answer to no one, you inclusive.

Sure, dialogue should be your next step. Involve his friends/relations whom you are sure he has some amount of respect for. He thinks that you don't complement or "complete" him by virtue of your low income (compared with his) I'm not sure what the outcome would be, or if the result of this sort of intervention would last.

Divorce, for now, shouldn't be your immediate priority. You may go ahead with it though, after you have explored every other channel or option.
I see a part of myself in your hubby's attitude. It revolted me and I made conscious efforts to change when I realised I wasn't appreciating my wife's humble contributions.

What's more, it's very possible he had been comparing you with a mental image of what he now feel should be his ideal woman, and finds you wanting (I experienced this) He feels you are not "measuring up" It would be far worse if this comparison is not just in his mind, but he has met another woman who he is actually comparing with you!

I don't know how deep his love for you is. So, if you take a bold step at letting him know you are fed up with the treatment you are getting from him, this might jolt him enough to make him see reason. Many folks don't realize the value of what they have, until they are about to lose it. Men sometimes loose focus of the more important things in their quest for the pursuit of financial stability. Their wife and kids are relegated to the back burner, and they inflict emotional trauma on their loved ones. I want you to also realize that those verbal abuse are a sign of insecurity. In his subconscious, he is scared of failure. Your not earning as much as he would have liked is fueling this fear, and instead of trying to help you make better earnings, he is rather trying to alienate you. This way, he's trying to prevent you from intruding into his capital and financial base.

I feel for you. But do not wallow in self pity. You seem to be strong-willed. Do you have the guts to rattle him, to take your destiny in your hands, to initiate the change you desire?

Let him know that what you guys got is a partnership, the type that isn't solely determined by how much money each partner is contributing into the union. As it is now, you are making the more contribution in this marriage. While you are earning and spending for the family, he is concerned about himself only.
