onotukabiru:MRBrownJ: : The thing I find absolutely wrong with MRBrownJ's comment is that he's pushing his orientation as a proven precedent. People have the right to aspire to own a home, regardless of where they choose and where they can afford. My concern is that going by the way MRBrownJ is thinking, time may pass one by and what will be the use of living in Lekki for the first time when you're now in your 50s and all your children are either married or about to be married. Secondly, I believe the right to own a home is inferred from one of the fundamental human right (Shelter). Govts are also charged to make sure citizens own homes in their life time. But I think more importantly, people don't set their priorities right. They opt for what is fun and easy (Jewelries, Luxury Cars, Expensive travels, School fees they struggle to keep up with, Rents they struggle to keep up with and dressings whose cost is equivalent to the cost of a bungalow) 4 Likes 1 Share |

Acidosis: My friend, Nigerian values are killing Nigerians. I used to work in a place which could not be accessed by public transport and owning a car was quite important due to the shift nature of the job also. Yet, one colleague who was earning much more than us due to having being in the job for longer was still trekking the 20+ minutes to the factory from last bus stop because HE WAS BUILDING A HOUSE and expected we small boys who used cars to stop by and pick him up. In his eyes and those on his level, he is wise. At your maternity ward when you are born, the Nigerian society has already drawn up a long list of all the items you must acquire and all the things you must do or else they brand you a failure and sanction you. There is no place for individual evolution of the meaning of life; it is all about materialism and you're encouraged to do whatever it takes to tick each of the boxes as you carry on in life here. Are you still wondering why this country is so badly governed and people are so cruel and self-centered, trying to amass all for self? I have said repeatedly that the problem with Nigeria is the Nigerian people themselves and how they define their society. It is not about poilticians as those politicians are also one of us trying to do what the others are doing in their own space too. It's a tragedy, this country 7 Likes 1 Share |

MrMcJay: I disagree slightly with this your position. Why? If you're talking to people who are matured enough, have good income or have well paying jobs with option of mortgage loan facilities etc then it suffices. But if you're talking withing the context of this topic, especially a generalised premise it came with, then it may not necessarily be true. Pray tell, what is the stats on the number of people that will end up being able to afford accomodation in Lekki and Ikoyi? Who tells you successful people don't live in those places that you denigrate? I think the perception of the premium places is personal. If you want you and your kids to live/grow up in a certain environment, go to certain schools, mix with certain kinds of people and much more you think of placing a premium on your property (value and rental income), then you can do that (FYI, that is what I did) but that doesn't make it a standard for all people......... PS: This position of yours could also be misguided at times, as I see many of today's youth struggle to keep up because they rented a house in exotic locations. 4 Likes |

To build or not to build, that is the question. I am at this junction now where I am trying to decide if I should develop my 'Bush' land or buy another land close to my present accommodation, I just don't know which road to take and I have started spending carelessly. |

For me,is a two way thing,first there are some guys who did not attend a higher education institutions,instead went into apprenticeship before setting up there business,while we all know what it takes to pass through school and then search for a job and start saving money,so the business guys may start saving money too and start building between the ages of 25 to 30,but the other guy may start building between 30 to 35 or more . That my take. |

Acidosis:You raised valid points..first off all, i see it as an investment..My mother bought d land on which our house was built for 70k..today we get 120k rent annually for the bq.I just want a landed property somewhere that i can put up for rent,i mustn't live there na..With the high rate houses are let out for,trust me,i would recover my money in 5-7 Years. As for work and marital considerations, i cant let any of them hold me back,even if my husband lives elsewhere does it mean he has to move in with me?I am yet to be married so have to make plans for me and me alone,it doesn't stop me from getting married or taking up a job offer abroad.I want to build a house so i can be getting rent from it,rather than invest in a business that i can't supervise personally. 5 Likes |
