How did this thread become a Lagos and igbo thread? lmao

coogar:

it's almost a lack of common sense......
why build such an expensive house in the village where the properties won't appreciate as much as the ones built in the cities. the funniest thing is these people spend an equivalent of 20 days in those houses in one calendar year - such a waste of money and illogical reasoning.

coogar:

can you imagine? living in the ghetto in the city and having a mansion in the village - misplacement of priorities. i think africans especially nigerians are guilty of this because of their showmanship! they want to show villagers they have "arrived".

arrant nonsense!



i do not see the relevance of these questions to the topic of discussion. what has the name of my village gotta do with management or lack of management? how did most of you lots even complete secondary school education?



that you have completed your house means nothing - look at the intelligence of a graduate. is it about completion or who would get returns from his house if he decides to sell at anytime? you should take one or two courses in management!!! you have completed a house in the village - congratulations, you have done something similar to putting a man on the moon.




people should mind their business?
i can bet those are the exact words of the proponents of gay marriage. if we all mind our business the world would be chaotic. let's allow pröstitutes to roam freely then after all they use their bodies not yours. fathers who räpe their daughters should also be spared after all na him own pikin him räpe. now you see how your idea of live and let live sounds?

Jah Man: I can imagine how untrained you are.
What do you know about management?
So you that finished grammar school could only see one question of all the questions I asked? So ridiculous!
And look who is talking of investments here. How many of the so-called houses in the city are for rent? Are they not owner-occupied? The same show-off of I am a landlord in Lagos?

Some even build in places that warrant them to die instalmentally while shutling between Ikorodu,Mowe,Sango Otta to VI everyday for work. Why should I pass through that kinda suffering when I can save the money,rent a flat in a nearby mainland and use the balance to build for my hometown?

And thou rookie if you know the latest in real estate you can't be talking of rent as a reasonable reason for building in the city because the pay back period is discouraging with all the risk of tenants that cannot pay or destroying your praoperty.
My dad has like 3 of such buildings - one in the east which returns peanuts after we engaged a lwayer who takes part of the peanut to make the tenants to pay.Another in the north whose rent is so poor he decided to give one of the flats to members of the church at a ridiculous price and part for church activities. The one in Lagos was almost taken over by fraudsters when he relocated until a relation had to step in to safeguard it.
Real estate just like any other investment is subject to risk and is not a sure return.

Finally learn to talk like someone that know what is home training even if you have to pretend. Stop insulting people in here.
Why is it difficult to answer any of those questions? I am sure they are hitting your conscience like boko bomb.
Sleep well!

bigfat06: [size=15pt]BECAUSE THE VILLAGE IS UNDERDEVELOPED AND NEEDS TO BE DEVELOPED...[/size]

POLICE CAP: I've observed that most persons prefer to build well furnished mansions in their villages which latter begins to look like an abandoned project because you only find people in them during festive periods. And the funny thing here is that most of these persons live in rented apartment in the city (where they spend most of their time)

In my own opinion, I would suggest they build just a simple house with simple furnishing in the village.... Then own even if its a hut to call their own in the city.

I stil wish for reasons why they do this.....

joinnow: its not a good investment.

Let me compress this real life story.
A biz man ( an Igbo) trading at owerri Town the capital of Imo State.
Did so well in his biz line.
Built a four story building at his home vilage.
He did not build any house at owerri.
He was converted to DEEPER Life.
He left his line of biz because his initial biz line involve relabelling motocycle part to (made in Japan) and selling same at original price despite that the part is made in Nigeria.
No money to feed his family at a point he gave out his 4 children as house maid.
He relocated to village and nobdy is willing to rent his house at the village, nobody is willing to buy his house at the village.
Advise build in town first even if you want to go home finally you will get a quick buyer.

coogar:

and if war breaks out in the village? i hope you are aware there were nice houses in odi village too when obsanjo's troops razed it down.......

home is where you make it - all these village things are nonsense. how many times do the present generation even visit their villages? do they even know their way there?

Ile-Ife:
How did this thread become a Lagos and igbo thread? lmao

Jah Man: Please can you gracefully answer these questions for me sir;
1. What is the name of your village?
2. When last did you visit your village?
3. Do your dad or yourself have a small house where you can pass the night there?
4. Do you travel often for festivities to your village?
5. We do not have decent hotels in my town for me to lodge whenever I have reason to travel there. Do you please know of any real estate coy that provides adhoc/make-shift houses for hire in a matter of days?
6. Please can you remind me the true meaning of mismanagement and also confirm if it can also be applicable for an asset in the city?
7. Do you/or your dad have a house in the city or are you working towards completing one?

Why are you so bitter about how another person wants to spend his money? The same money some spend every year visiting foreign countries is what another used to build a house in one part of Nigeria and you turn around and call him a fool?
A colleague once told me how foolish I was in erecting a nice house in my place. But he was yet to complete his own in Lagos. I might even come back and build alongside with him there if I tarry in Lagos.

Please people should mind their business. Money is money, if you cannot insult the one that uses his own on parties, women,'janding', changing cars; then stop blaming the 'Aku lue unos'.
Thank you.

euromilion:

Totally agreed,I've wanted to sell my house in d village,but no reasonable offer yet.wat a regret am I in,only if I can turn d hand of d time.

Demain_man: Most Igbo villages are under developed and they look like forest if you ever watch Nollywood movies. I really hate that look when i see them on those movies being an igbo myself.

My people, please build in the villages so as to bring these places up to the 21st century standard. Our generation unborn will thank us for it. while at it, proper maintenance culture on those properties are needed so that houses built can last a very long time. Regular painting, nice landscapping readily comes to mind.

For any Local Government Chairman/State Governor reading this, please embark on proper village/town planning so as to give our villages a modern organisation rather than allow the people to put up structures in an unorganised manner.

No,I don't think so because you have never been to Nnewi,Amichi,Ozubulu,Umuoji,Oraukwu,Awka-etiti,Osumenyi,Alor-London and every other Anambra town with heavy wealth.

ngozievergreen:
So, u are using nollywood to judge? Sorry for u. If u watch nollywood movies well, u will find out dat dey actually use a particular setting for over 25 other movies. Am serious.
Still, Igbo non -capital communities have d highest number of majestic buildings. Onitsha, nnewi, Aba,Ekwuluobia; awka, owerri and enugu (outside dier actual metropolis) are peoples' villages o.
Leave nollywood out of this or what is even ur basis for development?

Eze Promoe:
You can only do that to the minorities and get away with it. Doing that to any of the majority is just like call for war. Remember, the population of each of the Nigerian majority ethnic groups are two times bigger than some of the well-noted countries in the world.
SO THINK WELL BEFORE YOU POST!
