I have had issues with 'mad' Nigerians over this madness. you will see people put tire on the road in front of their house so that you will not park in front of their house like did you pay for the road too? Is the road your property?

And when you park there they will leak your tire. Please, do these idiots know that their property does not extend beyond the fence you paid for? You don't own the road. I hate these people with this entitlement mindset. One idiot haas actually leaked my tire because I parked on government road that happens to be in front of his property. You will see these demonic sons of baal disfigure the whole place by putting tires on roads in front of their house so someone does not park there.

This has happened to me in estates too. When you buy a house in a gated estate do you buy the road in front of your house with it? I seriously need an answer to this particular question because I have had troubles with people in gated estates who think the road in front of their house is theirs and no one can park on it?
My friend, when it comes to estate, remember that the residents paid infrastructure fee and they maintain it, not government; remember that they had a set back to accommodate drainage for the health of the road; remember that they basically see to their security and they pay their first responders.
Without additional things to ask you to remember, allow them to manage their environment. Take this up with all government agencies first, that did not pay infrastructure fee but use a road built with tax payers money to remove their own barricades and do not park here signs

ok i see lots of you have been saying this thing about blocking the entrance of someones house. well that is what mad people do. i am not mad. when i say park on the street in front of your house, say for example your house is long enough that the street equivalent is that it can park 3 cars , then i will take one of those spots without blocking your gates. but some idiots find issue with you parking on the street even if you are not blocking their gate. thats what i m saying

Oga
You have no right to park in front of someone's property if you ain't an occupant there, what are you even doing in someone's street when the street isn't for commercial, even if it's for commercial, you should be fined for obstruction of entrance to property owner.

Only in Naija.
Our Darling Country.......
This our country palava, no be for here.
Nigerians are the problems of Nigeria.




Nigerians are the problems of Nigeria.......for real!


Greed and Dishonesty, the two main problems of an average Nigerian.
Read along to understand our reasons for saying so......

(N.B : If you are a fraudster and criminal on Nairaland,
Skip to the next post or you may not survive reading this)


*HOME TRUTH*

I run a manufacturing business and a trading business.
The biggest challenge in my manufacturing business is not power, or infrastructure, the biggest challenge is getting honest staff. Everyone we hire appears to be on a mission to steal as much as possible. Inflated invoices, recording less than the actual number of units produced. The worst part of it all is that all the fraud we've uncovered is not done by a single person, it's usually many staff who collude with each other, from production, to sales, to finance, even top management. There was a year I overhauled management 3 times in a year.........
But me, I've found a solution sha, I now use Indian management. So competent, so honest and so straightforward. I thought they were expensive at first with all the visa fees, accommodation, house staff, but now that losses due to staff theft have been reduced to a minimum, and efficiency increased, the Indian management has turned out to be cheaper than the previous Nigerian management. Now, all sensitive positions involving money go to Indians. Nigerians are only allowed in non-sensitive positions. I used to criticize companies like Dangote Group that hire so many Indians when there are many unemployed Nigerians, but now, I understand their decision.

My biggest challenge in the trading business is the same, getting honest staff. The form of trading occurs in the open market, and involves staff having access to huge sums of money running into a few millions. I know how much I pay to security companies to provide escorts for the staff, not to prevent robbery, but to ensure that the staff go straight to the bank to deposit the money after the day's sales and not disappear with my money. This money spent on security companies is even enough to be declared as profit. We have to spend on CCTV, biometric scanners and other things that wouldn't be needed if staff weren't looking for the slightest opportunity to steal.

It got so bad at a point that my main criteria for employing staff was no longer competency but honesty. At least, competency and skills can be learnt, but once you're dishonest, you're dishonest.

We always complain of the economy and how there are no jobs. I know people abroad who would have loved to set up job creating businesses in Nigeria but they can't because they can't get any trustworthy person to run it.

I know people in Nigeria with so much money, they want to start factories and other job-creating businesses but they can't because they are occupied elsewhere and can't get any trustworthy person to run the business. So instead of investing in the real sector and creating jobs, they'll just buy treasury bills, while the thieves are shouting no jobs.

Many big businesses would have been born in Nigeria if we could engage in partnerships, but we cant because you can't trust anyone. This is one advantage the Indians and Lebanese have over us in Nigeria. They can pull resources together and do mega-business, unlike Nigerians that because only one person must do everything since we can't partner, end up with small, tiny businesses.

Start a poultry and they will be stealing your eggs. Some will even go ahead to be killing the chickens so that they'll be allowed to take them home.

Start an entertainment/viewing/game center and they'll be pocketing your money. On the days you're around at the business, the money realized will be x10 of the money realized when you're not around..... Because they're eating your money.

Lease out a vehicle to a driver to use and watch as he'll finish you.

Start a restaurant, the same thing will happen. More than half of the total food ingredients will end up in their personal kitchens.

Even ordinary provisions shop, they will find a way to steal.

You'll see them with that their evil, wicked saying "na where person dey work, na there e dey chop, na e make dem dey callam workchop/workshop"...... Just imagine, justifying theft at work.

And you'll see these people point their crooked fingers at politicians when they're not any different. I usually say the reason most Nigerians haven't stolen billions of government money, is simply lack of opportunity.

*On every level, Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria*.


If the truth wanna kill the online fraudsters and criminals we have on Nairaland,
you guys should better die now.
We will continue to hit your head as much as we can with the truth and be against your fraudulent lifestyle ALWAYS.
For all the scams you have scammed innocent people all over the world, and they end up committing suicide or becoming homeless, and y'all here thinking you are living large, kid you not, you will never enjoy that fraudulent money, it will lead you to your grave soonest. (You can keep hating honest, and hardworking members on this forum, but some of us will continue to kill you with the truth.)
Only if God doesn't exist.
Thieves, Barawos everywhere
.



**********************************


GREED!!!

When we say we are our own problem they start grumbling.....

Okay listen to these examples:

1. You sell chicken and add over 40% profit ,you are happy forgetting that the person that bought the chicken sells tomatoes and pepper.

2. The tomatoes and pepper seller has to recover the excess she paid for the chicken, so she adds her own 42% profit margin.

3. Teacher will come and buy these 2 items with what? She has no other alternative than to increase lesson fees or school fees.

4. You will go and rent house from a landlord who has paid excess for cement, sand, chicken, tomatoes and pepper, lesson fees, how will he meet up if not by increasing his house rent by 60%.

And the circle continues, it is not about dollars, dollars is just an excuse, abi wetin concern garri, beans and yam with dollars.

The problem is you and I and our excessive greed.



Only a fraudster or criminal will be wailing about our above post.
We hope you ain't one of them kiddo?
If so, we understand your weeping about the honest truth.
No wonder you are your fellow children are always wailing and in serious pains reading our posts here.
The earlier, the better for you.
Advice from the elders kiss



Sure we do get the good ones among the youths.


Only sane, honest and hardworking Nairalanders like you will definitely like our answers and comments,
Not the miserable fraudsters aka, children of hate, frustrations and perdition that abound here.
God bless your legit hustle man.
It will end in praise for you.


Addendum:
The below are screenshots from a very recent party we went to grill Barbecue for one of our clients we met on Nairaland,
And the below are the amount of meats the food caterer hired for the event stole, ready to take home with her.
After telling people at the party that beef has finished!
(After being paid close to 2 Million Naira for her catering job!!)
A picture speaks more than a thousand words.
Shame on her and her online criminals here.....

That's why we need to embrace technology in every facet of our businesses

Sometimes you save some money for this kind of wahala, park somewhere, leave your vehicle to a distance not too far, if anyone try to deflect your tyre don't disturb him just make a video of him/her, thereafter you drive out like that so that the tyre will completely damage then go to police and register a case of attempted kidnapped because whoever deflect your tyre can pass for many possible case. Then tell the police that you are too scared to go there on that day.that you need to see your doctor. Then the following, by which time the criminal must have forgotten the case, return to the station for your case let them picked him and charge him for attempting to kidnap you for ransom. By the time the person finished with that case and buy you a new tyre, next time he won't try it.

Who is responsible for the cleaning of the drainage Infront of those fences....is it not suppose to be government responsibilities Where is the government

The same road the communities gather money sandfilled the potholes The same road the communities gather money put streetlight, security post

Okay na, carry your car come park where you are not welcomed and argue that na government road na ...when no be highway...Street roads wey communities they service

grin cheesy grin cheesy
But it is the peculiarities of our country that make people to park in front of people's houses. In saner climes, there are park and rides and communal parking spaces and if you don't have such in the neighbourhood, what will the guest do. He no for carry car for pocket na. grin

People are just doing this cos the LGAs are not active. Some even rented the space in front of their compound for biz without permission from LGAs

I guess since they're responsible for keeping the place tidy they feel they ought to have some sort of right over that area. I feel they should thou for security purpose. If you're parking in front of my House I'll like to know whom you're looking for

U wen u go to other pples community or village or even town where do u urinate wen u are very pressed on the road ? Or do u think no one owns were u av been urinating wen u are pressed? So stop seeing them as a farm animal because u are one of them
GloriousGbola:


well . . .i also get mildly irritated when strangers park in front of my house. the next thing one badly raised ediat steps from the car and leisurely urinates into the gutter beside your house like a farm animal

or parks in a way that hinders your maneuvering on an already tight road.

and of course as a naija matter, there is also some paranoia - who is this person - a visitor or a kidnapper/robber surveiling the area?

no, the question is can nigerians be relied on not to abuse what should be simple rules.

i live on 3rd avenue festac - and some jokers have literally abandoned their trucks on the road fro the past 6 months. of course since no one owns the road, no problem right? oh - the truck has become a place where people can shit without being seen - no problem - np one owns the road.
the truck has become a place where people are robbed in the morning as it obscures view - no problem as no one owns the road

that is where that mentality goes

and that is why today so much of festac is a fing hazardous eyesore, because all sorts of louts have converted roads owned by no one to areas where they dump vehicles they bought but have no plans for,

Oga are you the owner of the road in front of your house yes or no

Imagine coming home after a long day of work to see one stupid stranger's car parked in front of your house, or imagine trying to leave for work and one useless fool parked his bolekaja in front of your car. Say the truth. You go happy?
What the op said is not blocking the entrance to a property but parking on the street or beside the house. Outside Naija like you mentioned, you can park on the street as long as you are not obstructing someone from driving into their property. Also, if their is a no parking sign you cannot park.

It is called appurtenances!

Same reason why the Natives of Lagos own Lagos and why everyone complies with Sharia Law in Saudi Arabia.

It is Natural Law called Lex loci and The Law of Priority!

They ought not to touch your vehicle but because your vehicle is trespassing, then they have a right to touch your vehicle in such a way as to get your attention to your trespass.

Therefore, they are right to put tires in front of their property to give everyone reasonable notice that they have interest in the road in front of their house. Because the house and it's attachments aka appurtenances belongs to the owner of the house.

So no vex, it is their right and they have more rights than you in their land. That is how Natural Law operates!
