I think the writer of this story is a lawyer, he should just help we common man and take the case to court just the way one lawyer did when FRSC made it mandatory for every car owner to get the new number plate and the case was in favour of all Nigerian, so please help us do the needful by taken the case to court God will help you, and thanks for bringing this story out. |

sobmos: You can't sue omo-oniles in court, they are touts with no fixed address, even if you do how long do you think the case will last ? Another angle of abuse is that no price is fixed , what stop the seller from demanding for double the selling fee as foundation fee, after all it is legal ? What people don't understand is that those that can be held responsible, the real sellers, don't go about asking for foundation fee, it is the touts and thugs who may have no share in the land money that does that. |

This implementation is just, waaaat? Why not A) pay for the land B) say for instance, 1% of whatever amount paid = foundation fee. C) Taxable one time payment. End result 1) You get your land + your peace of mind 2) the "foundation fathers" a.k.a Omoonile are happy 3) The Government get its own share via taxes. And all parties go home smiling. |

hUmaneOne:This levy is collected in most parts of southern Nigeria. After purchasing the land, they will not allow you start foundation works except you pay a levy, which costs between 100k-250k in Benin. Each floor you want to deck is paid for. At roofing stage you make payment. You pay for fencing & pay another amount to drill a borehole in your house & they harass you as if you are in Libya where anything goes because there is no government. This is authorised stealing approved by government. Most governments are afraid to check this act because of possible backlash during election. The individuals terrorise land owners & force them to stop work until their demands are met. In this civilised world? |

This Lagos state is becoming something else. That was how this stupid Kosofe Local Govt people few days back circulated demand notice on the gates and walls of every house asking the residents to pay for ''TELEVISION and RADIO License'' Where has it ever been heard that you pay money to the govt to listen to the radio u bought or to watch television in your house? I buy my Tv, Subscribe my DSTV or GOTV, buy my fuel to power my gen, then still pay govt to watch it? Make God punish devil. 1 Like |

Hedonistically: As bad as it may sound, I actually share your sentiments. The black man is just ........... I don't get it. Wherever they are it's the same. Whether in the USA, South Africa, Nigeria. The black man seems to be hardwired to be perpetually uncivilised. Perpetually a non-learner, a non-thinker, a person who cannot connect point A and point B. It baffles me cos I am a Nigerian. But our level of stupidity is mind-boggling. How come the people drafting this so-called 'foundation fee' law couldn't ask the simple questions this great lawyer raised now. Sometimes I'm tempted to think Nnamdi Kanu might be right after all by calling this entity a ZOO. Cos the kind of things that happen here will never cross the mind of the inhabitants of the wild.

sobmos: Nonesense, prior to this; what laws in the books gives the omoniles the rights to collect a land that had been legally sold back? Prior to this law, you still have the right to take them to court, this law did not give a land buyer more protection, it just legalized the omoniles' trade. If the omoniles do not have regards to laws and courts, this will not suddenly make them to change their heart and stop collecting roofing fees after collecting foundation fees. |

why Lagos accept this law; 1. most people are ignorant of d law 2.those who should complain are going to benefit from the #foundation fee payment 3. Kings and Baale should be held responsible for d extortion 4. LASG govt include it for fear of loosing political tug during next election |
Re: Lawyer condemns new Lagos law legalising ‘foundation fee’ by olumide4christ: 12:27pm On Aug 26, 2016 |
This clause in the new law should be repealed and expunged. Why legalizing crime & extortion? LASG claims to maintain law & order through LASTMA, KAI, RRS, etc yet they refuse to maintain law and order in land issues! We are in God's hands. What's the solution to this issue if the government does nothing about it? 1. Before paying for any land in Lagos, potential buyers should request to know what the foundation fee would be when they want to commence work on the land. If the fee is realistic after bargaining, the buyer should go out of the way to commit the sellers of the land to a legal agreement enforceable in court that they have accepted the agreed foundation fee & will not backtrack when when the buyer commences work. 2. Go outside of Lagos to some other states to buy land and invest. Landlords and properties owners in other states are making serious money where Omonile issues are less rampant or non-existent. It just requires one to think outside the box. I for one bought my plot of land in Abuja at a cheap & competitive price & rental prices in a lot of areas there are better than Lagos when compared with costs of land & construction. I took this decision simply to avoid Omonile issues. Take my advice; thank me later! |
Re: Lawyer condemns new Lagos law legalising ‘foundation fee’ by sonnie10: 1:19pm On Aug 26, 2016 |
The solution is to collect two receipts when buying land from Lagos families. One should be for the land and the other should clearly state that it is the foundation fee. The total amount should not exceed how much you are willing to pay for the land. Trust those people, they will collect what ever you are willing to pay if you do this first. However, when you pay for land first, they certainly will have an upper hand in the bargain. 1 Like |

phoneport: Ambode has actually been messing-up nig time, for some time now. From bad roads (he just sprays black color on some road and erects the biggest signboards ever, claiming he did a road), poor or absent water supply, insecurity and now this agbaaro-law? You know what, APC has been pushing its luck too far with this UPN/AD evolution, riding on the legacy of mercurial leaders like Awolowo. But we know that the likes of Tinubu and Ambode has nothing in common with Awolowo or the likes of Bisi Onabanjo. These ones never looted the treasury. APC will have a shock in the next election. They would be held responsible for a fringe party like Labour or some other lesser party, springing a surprise win. We would REJECT APC at the next Polls in Lagos (just forget Agbaje and PDP, same rogues) if they think it is a birthright. Just let them keeping it up with this type of rubbish law, we would use the Social Media to remind them of their fuckups. |
