The Land Use Charge Of Lagos .what They Didn't Tell You by tiredoflife(m): 6:00am On Mar 15, 2018 |
Hmmmm eko oni bajè Most of us woke up a few days to hear about the Land use charge We have all being drunk from the start with the wonders of the so called Lagos state model of government while the likes of fashola laid the foundation of another milking factory to feed the elites or the financially awake minds Some time a few years back in 2004 when I started reading about how to get out of the rat race, I came about an American model of investment where by you can invest in the charges due on a home and hope the home owner defaults Now this is how it works The state government places charges on homes like our land use act They quickly create investment certificates on those charges and sell to the investing public since states need quick cash These certificates are bought for the amount the home owner is owing with some percentage of interest As time goes the value of the certificate goes up As the more time it takes the home owner to pay,there is a penalty for the days delayed. Now if the home owner doesn't pay and the charges climbs close to the value of the property The government forecloses on it Takes the home from the home owner And auction the said property with the investor given the right of first buyer or waiting to sell off to reclaim is investment in the certificate This is the motive of the land use charge For many its evil For the financially smart its a new way to make money. So while some think its a way to punish the igbos as I ve read in many online discussions with the phrase if you no like am go ya state. The real deal is to make investment vehicles for the super rich and smart ![]() 2 Likes |

ameri9ja: Then you are just an attention seeker. If you are too timid to run for office (maybe out of fear of stealing in office or being wrongly accused of such by the opposition) then leave that task to those with the guts to face the challenges that come with governance. Talk is cheap. 2 Likes |

ameri9ja: I'm sorry to say this but that is a very senseless and stuupid copout because whether crooked or straight, some people have to step out and vie to lead or govern. Nature hates a vacuum. And it is the same everywhere in the world. Unless maybe you have the means to call down the 'angels' or resurrect the 'saints' to come and rule men. Just because you feel all politicians are 'crooked' doesn't mean that those with the ambition and desire to lead and engage in politics will not do so. It was Aristotle that famously declared that 'man is a political animal'. It is in his nature to engage in politics. Get real. 2 Likes |

tiredoflife:Do we still this type of people who sleep with tribalism and wake up with religion supremacy? If it about tribal and religion country like Dubai would still be desert because 80percent of its residents are migrates.. In other words countries were things are done with good faith the government provide the necessary development first before increment but here they increase over increased and never do any work.. The reason Nigeria is backward are too many.. And till this moment no genuine efforts is seen from both the government and the people to guarantee a better Nigeria, SAD! 1 Like |

ameri9ja: I am not yet a politician but I have the ambition to run for office in the near future. And unlike you I refuse to be deterred by the fear of being called a 'thief' by nonentities, especially when I know I won't be going there to loot but to serve my community. I am not 'too honest' to engage in politics. To each his own, I guess. ![]() 2 Likes |

It seems like none really understood your post OP, they've digressed from the topic straight away. I guess none are house owners else they would have seen your point where people lose rights to their houses if they default on payment to investors. |

SKhanmi: These are what we have being cursed with as a nation I found this out 2004 when I barely left secondary school But see how I am giving kids knowledge I found out when I was their age Yet its all about tribe The foolish ones who claim to be lagosians don't even see it that this law is an attempt to render them homeless in the near future I hope to cash in on this when it begins |
