Beautiful, in sane society these places would invite tourism.. Guess what...it results to more revenue for the "government" but NO, na for my account them dey find stamp duties charges and the rest. Very painful. Send me 10k and the government has 50naira, I send you 1k, the government and the bank shares 10naira. It's unfair.... Please ehn, if you are building in or around Abuja. I'm very much available for your roofing/wooden solutions... Anything woods. 090..96...403..667 11 Likes 2 Shares |
