Thanks Seun for the timely intervention. Do what leaders do.

Good morning people. Please how much is fair to give these omoonile for foundation. I am about starting foundation work somewhere around mainland Lagos built and the community leaders are asking for 1millon naira. I could bring in military guys to stay with the workers until they finish the foundation but what happens afterwards. How do people here handle the omo onile syndrome.

emmyN:


You were never a mediator.

one million is a way too much, I think u should call the community head and tell him after fulfilling all the require documentation with them and government, you are not liable to give them any money, but you only want to dash them something and you specific what you have to give them, also inform their family head that there is a law in Lagos state that ban any exhortation from land owner or developer, expect you don't have your family receipt, you don't sign deed of assignments with them (the family) and you don't process your documents with government like having your registered survey, c of o, and your building approval, if you have all of this documents, if they try you too much just surprise them with the men in kaki, they will negotiate with u with like N200k or N300k they won't want to loose outrightly.

Nothing will happen afterwards they will only be saying either your friends or brothers are in the military, after all you are still going to be friends.

I'm saying this base on experience, if you are shaking for them they shake you to the ground, stand your ground, and those Lagos state government touts too will come with one of two document from local government, just give them something, sign and collect the document from them, your engineer could handle that for you, because if they know you are the owner of the construction they will be asking you owo odun.

Once again, omo onile issue is location dependent in Lagos state. There are areas where we pay as much as over N2m just to settle omo onile to start work.

Just to give you ideas, think “Magodo vs LASG“ What do you think could give the land grabbers the audacity to stand head-to-head with a sitting Governor. If not timely intervention, they’ll demolish the estate and nothing will happen.

I still have videos and pics from an estate that was demolished in Lagos. Even the house of a sitting commissioner from another state wasnt spared.

Both omo onile and government touts are necessary evil in Lagos, don’t be too harsh on them. They can cause regrettable loss on your project.

The most important thing in Lagos is perfection of your title documents. Everything else (omo onile settlement, local govt wahala, supplier tussle, labour disputes etc) are non-issues that can be easily overlooked.

n3xt:


I’m just seeing this.

Omo onile settlement is location dependent and how grounded/popular you’re in your locality.
It shocking I’m doing a massive project In the heart of Oshodi, Lagos and there has never been any issue so far on the project.

When I tried to investigate how possible this can be in Oshodi, I found out the owner of the project is well known, respected and feared in the community. This explains the reason we were not disturbed by the boys.

The best approach that has worked for me so far is that I try to make friend with them and involve them wherever I can on the project - supplies, on-site work, logistics etc. When they chose to be difficult, I engage uniformed men to get them to listen and work with me.

I remembered engaging one of the omo oniles to handle all the sand supplies in the XL6 Trillion project while I gave granite to Chekitaut.

Omo oniles are necessary evil in South West, Nigeria. You need them and I know you’ll eventually find them useful one day.

__________

Some years back, I paid some monies to omo oniles in Ologolo and also went ahead to give all the block and granite/sand supplies to 2 of the most feared member of the gang.
The guys that I gave supplies proved much more useful in the long run than the family head. I eventually end up giving him my dump truck to use for my supplies and his own business while he pay me my weekly return.

I know how many people I referred on this platform to the same guy on any omo onile matter/issue from Jakande to Sangotedo.

Don’t be too soft or harsh on them. Wishing you all the best in your project.

Greenarrow01:

Sezgy14 (Sam) has blocked me on the wats app and not picking my calls.

Dennis3D:


Hmmm, pls what was he?

sonnie10:


Thanks for letting me. Bids still open.

DUNKA:
Too bad. This is another contractor that a searchlight needs to be beamed upon if the allegations are proved true. Sezgy14 over to you before this degenerates into another brabus/nexthome fiasco. Do the needful
