Wow. an eye opener. So here is my own situation, soooort of involved in 2, one established over 5 yrs ago and the other one hmmmmn, after my build finished i met the 2 key players, but before then i knew one of the key players a year or so before. The first one has bankers, oil workers and ur average high middle class professionals, they have an account in the name of the association, send updates on whatever is happening in the estate, have various committees, have a finance committee who regularly send out state of finance, they have millions in the bank in association money. It works out reasonably well, we get like 3/4 page reports about the last meeting which holds on sanitation days, in fact there is a whatapp group, 2 in fact. one for estate business and one for yanga, i came out of the yanga one coz it was all jokes i didn't find funny and advertisements etc from residents. It works reasonably well, and they have committees like security, power, legal, sanitation, welfare, social etc. In fact their end of year party is always good. The other one is not an estate proper, things hardly work the main players speak a particular language that i do not understand, and there seems to be come kind of collusion going on. Some of the other none owners that happen to be same tribe as me do not want to have anything to do with the so called association which is like a group of 4 men who want to run things how they like, there is little or no corporation and they all seem to have thier own agenda. One of the 2 things i was able to force them to do is open an account in the name of the association which they didnt do, they opened it in the name of 2 of the landlords , and secondly have a whatsapp group so that decisions can be joint rather then 2/3 people exercising control and then coming with money demands. Last year, there was no light for 6 months, Why ? Because transformer blew, it took me going on ground to speak to the parties involved, get NEPA on board, speak to the stake holders and forge some kind of peace. Anyway long story. So they asked me to contribute some money, which i have no problem with but i just need to be sure that my kobokobo contribution will be used judiciously and not for personal things, so i said to them that i would like us to start keeping records and have some form of transparency & accountability, they resisted and even told me that if i was worried someone will embezzle my money, i should not donate. Anytime I ask for accountability & transparency, there is always an argument. So i just resigned from the association. I cant be involved in something like that, and the funny thing is that these guys are lawyers/bank workers, I now told them that is that how they do in thier work place. I donated money for the transformer stuff, but after that I dunno man. back2sender: |

dejavus:This is very interesting, just like family friend civil servant make just N85k monthly. These persons visit us in US during the last regime 6- 7 times yearly for 4 years straight, every time these person came around take taxi for over $200 on daily bases to get around city for shopping spending average of $600 a day. Its way so disturbing I have to stop her, visiting us anymore. I can believe since these new regime came aboard it's always complain when she call, she was not one of those big short in her ministry oh. Since this new government came in she's as not came down. Its seems something as change. Imagine what her general manager, directors, permanent secretary could be spending when the travel out of the country. 3 Likes |

Empiree:l think health & safety must have been taken into cognizance in the overall construction or else they wouldn't just come up with construction like this that will endanger people, and secondly, top-notch construction giants are all involved in the execution of this project, just like the Burj Khalifa which is still standing today in the gulf and attracts Millions of dollars in tourism to the government of the UAE |

But I know you will love the product, I have these local doors fabricated on site during one project. I had to specify the thickness of the flat sheet we used at every step, I went to the market with the welder and bought them materials. He swore to me he could make bullet proof doors locally if we pay the right amount. These doors shown are not bullet proof, N38k for double and N22k for single (2016 prices) 1 Like

lastpage: I heard that there is now a 'law to punish somebody that include a person in a category he does not belong to'. It seems that law has to be tested on you first for including me in a category i do not belong to or would not even dream of belonging to. . Even if i dream say i enter that category, when i wake up, i will just rush to the hospital to quickly treat malaria and typhoid. |
