Hello everyone,

Please, would anyone have an idea of going land prices (approximate) in the following locations:

1- Victoria Island
2- Lekki Area (Lekki Axis, but within 10km of VI)
3- Ikoyi Island

Also, what is (approximately) the going office rental rate for A/B Class new buildings around these areas?

Thank you immensely guys

Would highly appreciate a response on the above. God bless you.

Zex

Can a Foreign Company purchase land in Nigeria? Do I need a Nigerian partner, or need to form a partnership or joint venture with a local Nigerian? Anyone has a link to real estate laws in Nigeria, especially governing foreign companies?
The land in question would most probably be located in Lekki or Victoria Island, and would eventually be developed into a mixed use highrise property.

Any help/insight would be appreciated. I already have some Nigerian [i]candidate [/i]partners but I need to know I'm not being suckered into a 419!

Thank you.

wetin u want go do for jordan bros dat place na arab country wicked people dem, well it your choice, check there website and collect there requirement

Jordan is one of the most stable countries in the Middle East.  Nigeria has lots to learn from the Jordanian model of governance as well. Sure, Jordan is a monarchy, but at least a monarchy that gives back to the people, unlike Nigeria where a club of area boys run the show and milk the nation dead.

Wicked you say? 419? Corruption? Child Sacrifice? Power outage? Abdul Muttalab/Boko Haram?

The former US ambassador was right, Nigerians do have a false sense of grandeur.

http://arikmetics./2010/01/01/airlines-tourism-in-nigeria-slightly-out-of-tune/

The blog proposes some strategies/recommendations for Nigerian airlines to develop the tourism sector in Nigeria.

Fully illustrated

Interesting blog about the airline/product that is Arik Air

http://arikmetics.

Author is accepting passengers' and staff's reviews / opinions,

noble_gas1:

Aero-contractor is crazy, didnt i pay for the flight? if u fly emirates 4rm Dubai to Doha or Muscat wich is just abt 35minutes, u ll be given your confirmed meal, so why shuld aero-contractors be different?

Because Emirates is a publically owned airline (emirate of Dubai). Emirates, Etihad, and Qatar Airways are literally sitting on oil wells. Aero is a privately owned airline!!!

OMO IBO:

Bellview??

If you guys love yourselves, i urge you to avoid bellview like some plague.

Bellview, if they are still in business is an accident waiting to happen.

I second that - love yourselves. You will find peace.

You do not have my sympathy. The fact that you went against common sense, by 'booking' a so-called airline (Bellview) that has effectively failed as a company and stranded thousands of passengers since August points to your intelligence deficit.

I'm sorry, but if you can't afford to fly, don't fly.

You deserve your situation, and I hope you learn from it. Book a REAL airline (BA, Arik, Virgin, etc.).

Cool, my mouth is watering already! Is Egusi soup served there you think? Jollof, etc.? I'll definitely head to the train station for my Nigerian cuisine delight

Now that everyone mentioned the positive aspects of RAM (air fare, reliability, etc.) I'll list the disadvantages:

1- Their flight timing is absolutely horrible.  Arrival in Lagos 0230 AM so security-wise and convenience-wise it's a big ZERO.

2- Nigerians should expect many Moroccan officers at Casablanca Airport to be downright racists.
Many Nigerians will be denied the right to be lodged in the nearby hotel (if their connection time exceeds 8 hours) simply because they're Africans and Africans are believed to be high risk of illegal immigration,
When I travelled from Lagos to Madrid via Casablanca last January, a snow storm in Madrid shut that airport for 3 days.  The result was 3 days being stuck in Casablanca.  After long begging RAM agreed to bear responsbility for my lodging (since I'm Oyibo).   To my shock and horror, the other Nigerian passengers spent 3 days on the airport floor.

3- Inflight entertainment possibility is zero. The onboard food quality is so-so. But still I can't complain, I paid 550 euros for my return ticket!!!

Lusky thanks so much! this Canadian here is in love with Nigerian cuisine!
I think I'll try the restaurant @ the train station, Do you recall what dishes are served there?

Cheers.

Please, looking for Nigerian restaurant or supermarket selling Nigerian food items like Fufu etc.
Thanks!

Hello everyone,
Would someone be kind to tell me if there are any Nigerian restaurants / supermarkets selling Nigerian food items in Cape Town, SA??
I would appreciate your help thanks.

Excuse me but have you flown them before?

Here is my appraisal:

By Nigerian standards: The BEST
By African standards: Excellent
By world standards: VERY good. IN fact their economy product FAR exceeds most American airlines' product, KLM/AF (by legroom), definitely Arik is a global class airline.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Have a look at this lengthy review of a Virgin America flight (from Los Angeles to Boston) full with photographs, description of onboard product and ground service. It's all in there.

http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/trip_reports/read.main/150193/

You have to wonder why Virgin Group did not act as ambitious and fair (to its own brand) in its Virgin Nigeria endaveour which is now coming to a close (Virgin Atlantic selling its stake and removing the Virgin brand from the Nigerian carrier, effective July 7th).

Although it's true, Virgin Nigeria established a momentum in aviation reforms, brought in Virgin Atlantic TECHNICAL expertise, and turned a leaf in nigeria's reputation. However, the airline was under-capitalized from the onset, and with time could not compete effectively against new airlines (Arik Air among them).

Hopefully with the airline's Embraer aircraft order (planes gradually being delivered, latest one to join the fleet perhaps on 23 June), onboard Inflight Entertainment and renewed emphasis on punctuality and reliability, the rebranded airline can be in a better financial position to grow.

Well, the arguement goes like this:  The construction of this mega project, which in itself would involve hundreds if not thousands of smaller projects, would generate 100,000+ jobs and the ensuing economic multiplier effect can't be denied. Beyond construction, the facilities (hotels, malls, apartment buildings, institutions, and resorts) would also need managerial humanpower and workers which would be engaged indefinitely.

To me, this project if properly executed can achieve many objectives including poverty alleviation in the state and the halting of erosion and sinking of VI.

I'm a Canadian citizen, and spent 16 years in Montreal. It's a lovely city, beautiful blend of European and North American flavors. The upside is the French language, where you will have the opportunity (and your children if any) to learn it. Most people in Montreal speak English as well so don't let that deter you. More highlights is Mount Royal, a gorgeous mountain in the center of the island of Montreal, its lovely park, the st-laurence river, old Montreal with its cobbled streets and impecably maintained colonial buildings.

Not to mention the great standard of living!

Also it's closer to Nigeria than Vancouver (which is a 5 hour flight westward).

Having watched the entire match on Eurosport, i can conclude that the so-called super eagles are inherintly inferior players to the likes of Ghana.

i also agree with the Ghana coach when he said Nigeria has no standard international team. The total deficiency in systematic play, synergy, and ball possession proves the above.

The whole NFA and entire sports system (including Olympic contigent) need to be overhauled immediately and some sanity restored! A country of 140,000,000 people producing merely 3 medals at the Olympics just exemplifies the ugly state of affairs in Nigerian organized sports.

Kokscity:

Hey Ghana Airways adverts runs constantly in the states and there are direct flights unlike Naija.
long silence and it comes down to where it more favorable.

Ghana Airways ceased operations 3 years ago. Ghana's national carrier is now Ghana International, which only covers the London and Johannesburg routes. Perhaps u were referring to Ghana tourism campaigns funded by the Ghanaian govt.

250,000 Naira seems very little to me! Wasn't Tinapa's objective mainly to attract people who would otherwise shop in Dubai, etc.?
250,000 naira could hardly cover merchants' expenses, let alone be worthwhile a resell volume, This is not to mention that one of the emporiums was designated as a car dealership, if memory serves me well. The 250k ceiling would automatically exclude car purchases!

Forgive my ignorance but is the whole point of a carnival not fun and entertainment?

Why are most people on the street

What's the scoop here?
Their website is down (deactivated) since several months ago. The anchor stores haven't open. Christmas is approaching and the cinemas and casinos aren't open yet. In fact not a single store is open for business.
Was Tinapa a scam? What a pitty. 300 million dollars away, and not a single shop is open, not even for amala!

which airline did you use? is the entire facility up and running?

which airline did you use? is the entire facility up and running?

Was supposed to open on Monday (yesterday), but in typical Nigerian style nothing happened and nothing reported in the media.

Delta is starting daily Atlanta-Lagos flights in December.

Lufthansa has pulled out of Accra and is cosdolidating Lagos flights.

Virgin Nigeria, Arik, and Bellview will soon inaugurate direct flights to the US pending the certification of Nigeria's aviation infrastructure as "Cat. 3" by the US FAA.

No Nigerian factor here people, just some politics and safety issues which will soon be resolved. Do your research before engaging in emotional outbursts - THAT is a Nigerian factor.

British Airways is your best option (you will have to connect in London) onward another BA regional flight.

Rockson Engineering and Arumemi Johnson clan are the owners of Arik Air. Their company is involved in oil and gas. Although it's rumored that Peter Odili is also behind this airline (backstage).

Fair enough.

Anyone? Come on people this is the travel section oh!
