I know there is no limit to this but I would like to ask... what age do you think is the most appropriate to own a house/estate supposing we have the money? You see, a very very young boy in my hood is making me ask questions.... |

AZUH:I agree with your analysis. Every start up has is own teething problem, some people can weather thru despite the discomfort while some dont just want to give it a push. Secondly some want superprofit just starting and this may not be the case. Different folks with different taste buds. 1 Like |

Oga I am not clear here o. If engaging a lawyer from the start of the tenancy, what kind of due diligence will the lawyer do ? Agents are usually the ones that do checks on the tenants as I understand it. Are you saying that if the lawyer drafted the tenancy document from day 1, evictions court process will be free if needed ? That sounds like a good deal o. danowena: |

How to be a Landlord - an unending series Volume 993. I'll rather build-to-sell, flip lands/houses, go into conversion and remodel, repurpose old/abandoned buildings than learn how to lord over anyone. I want to retire well and only sing to my grandchildren, prune the trees, and play with my sweetheart under the cedar tree (hopefully it would have spread its wing by then), invite my friends over to do some jazz music (it's still in the body) by the water garden side with a bowl of fish pepper soup. I don't want to start reading the Nigerian constitutions during my retirement. My billionaire landlord did and he's dead now. He's the Donald Trump of my area. 2 Likes 1 Share |

itswell1: I don't know the story of shoprite but I do know it suffers loses from theft. The same pattern that nearly put jumia and konga to bankruptcy; Where listed big fridges and large screen TVs just disappear from inventory. And they had supplychain and inventory managers oohh. To me, the challenge is securing loyal staff with integrity to establish a biz structure first. |

n3xt: It all boils down to staff. Next time you go to Shoprite, shop with multiple carts, pay for them separately then combine them into one cart after payment and see if you can't pass security with just the purchase recept for one of them. They just glance at it without checking. Thats without an insider help oohhh. |

Qc1: Wooow....this is one of the most factual and inspiring posts I have read on this forum in recent times. Oga QC1, what you have said is a pure fact for many people in Nigeria. I may not have travelled out of the country in recent time but I have relations who travel abroad & return to Nigeria at will. They have investments in Nigeria, have built their own houses, they even lend/give to others who are in need. One has been doing her masters & Phd in the U.S., takes study leave from work every summer & travels to continue the program. I know of some clients who bring all their finishings (doors, tiles, sanitary fittings,etc) from Spain, Italy, Germany, South Africa which have the highest prices of these items. They don't do China things. Note- These people aren't in government or politicians where money could be stolen to achieve these things. They achieved these things by sheer hard work & the grace of God. They live and work in Nigeria. Like you said, if they can achieve these things without embezzling public funds or robbery or drug dealing, why can't I, with the mercy and favour of God?? I rest my case. 2 Likes |

I am surprised stealing materials, forgery of government document and trying to bribe security to lie is not one of them. Money that someone steals rarely gets spent well. Will you sing to grandchildren at this rate, those so called grandchildren may sabi google one day and see what thier grand father or whatever is really like. n3xt: 3 Likes |

mavverick: Its all about what you state in the tenancy agreement and highlight to the prospective tenant before collecting rent from him/her. My suggestions and what I plan to use for my tenants before collecting rent from them is- 1. Rent for the successive year must be paid on or b4 the expiry date of tenancy. 2. 6months quit notice automatically commences from the expiry date of the tenancy backed by a letter from my lawyer. 3. Landlord is obliged to take possession of the property the day after expiry of the 6 months quit notice and is not liable for any damage to any possession of the tenant found within the property at that time. All these conditions will be read to the prospective tenant for proper understanding and agreement b4 rent is collected & agreement is signed. Many landlords, especially the elderly & illiterate ones shoot themselves in the foot by not even giving their tenants a signed agreement. They only collect money for agreement from the tenant & chop the money. They begin to encounter problems when the tenant refuses to pay & the landlord can't enforce his/her right. |

44chux: Bros, I can't discuss the security measures in place in those malls here but what I want you to do next time is to look at the board behind the cashier, they have pictures of suspected shoplifters displayed. I know there are daredevil shoplifters (no be person go steal Aregbeshola's mobile phone) who will want to try their luck though by picking those items that are not tagged but trust me they know and they're monitoring everything. It's just matter of playing back the CCTV video files around the section. 100 of million nairas was invested into security gadgets and softwares for this purpose. I knew this because I was really into systems integration then and a lot of this malls were managed by my company. This is not just hearsay. Back then, we just make a laugh out of most people because we knew the real shoppers and the wannabes forming daughter of the president of United States of Aba 2 Likes |

n3xt: They should have invested part of that money on training and staff motivation. CCTV watches for suspicious behaviour. It has limits, just like it has blind spots. They had CCTV on konga & Jumia warehouses yet things moved. The best it can do is to try time-stamp the movement of certain goods and see if it was perfected within reasonable time from when it was moved. Hence it can't easily tell a particular one when say 4 similar items (SKU) are moved simultaneously from one part, taking diff alternating paths out but only 3 of them was later paid for within same time span. Above all else, nigerian staff can be innovative when it comes to stealing. How far with your metal slab project? Hope ur enemies never poison ur client |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by mavverick: 4:56pm On Aug 08, 2016 |
Point 3 is what i was telling gbadexy, the tenancy document that i have seen clearly states this. After the 6 months quit notice, landlord can enter to take possession. On point 2, can quit notice be given after 6 months into the tenancy. so quite notice expires the day after the fixed term tenancy or around that time. olumide4christ: |

For those into Home Automation like I am, BestBuy.Com has the Amazon Echo on sale today ONLY for $129.99 (that's $50 less than even Amazon themselves sell it). This is the second most important piece of your home automation after a hub (if applicable). This is what gives you VOICE control to your system - like Siri somewhat but better - (turn on/off lights, dim lights, open doors, set thermostat, play music, open/close blinds, etc). You don't need to know anyone in the US to buy and ship stuff anymore. There are trusted vendors on here that you can drop ship to and can forward onwards to you. |

mavverick: My take on this relocation issue is that who wan relocate go relocate, who no want no go relocate. Before you leave one location for another on a permanent or semi permanent basis, there must be a compelling thing chasing someone, otherwise that person must be chasing a compelling thing. Usually when this is the case, things like availability of electricity, water etc are not even deal breakers on the radar. 2 Likes |
