Let me stress this point: it is in the simplicity of your ordinary work, in the monotonous details of each day, that you have to find the secret, which is hidden from so many, of something great and new: Love.

What, in the Land Law & Property Law, did I just read?

[Cross˚ @Elkrosmediahub]

Lol. Just seeing this, so I’ll just respond according. I see you are slow (I don’t want to imagine the rest of your father’s sperm), so I’ll break it down the best I can.
A long, but tuition-free educative post. Read slowly or twice for at least 70% assimilation.

Firstly, most houses sold in Lagos come with the lands still belonging to the state. It’s why you are issued a ‘right to occupancy’ formalized through a document called ‘deed of assignment’ , and an existing title named either Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) or Governor’s consent.
In that vein, if you are to buy outrightly with the land from the state, the price is usually multiplied by two or more. So instead of the N1.5bn, you’ll have to pay like N3bn. I know this because I own properties in Nigeria!

Secondly, no where did I say you are buying the land with the house (in the video I posted and captioned). I mean, it is only common sense (which you clearly lack) that like in Nigeria, there is also a land use act in other parts of the world.

Typically, land ranges from AUD150k to AUD800k depending on areas in Australia.

Attached is a video of outright land buy for $150k per plot in Sydney. Negotiable to 110k if you are buying more than a plot.

Video was made by my younger brother earlier today (Australia time).

Maybe you thought you were talking to one of the riffraffs around your family and corner, that feed off posting unverified things for Twitter payout. Lol.
I’m sure if you shake that head of yours fast, we might all need an umbrella.

advise you to refrain from representing yourself as being a lawyer until you actually become one.

This may be seen as impersonation and fraudulent misrepresentation - both of which may cause you to never actually become a lawyer.

A word, they say, is enough for the wise.

As a lawyer qualified and licenced to practice in Nigeria, ma'am I would like to offer my congratulations on your success at the last Bar examinations.

Retiring from the British Army can be complicated...

Lt. Colonel Robert Maclaren retired from the British Army in 2001 after a long fulfilling career. On the day that he retired he received a letter from the Personnel Department of the Ministry of Defence setting out details of his pension and, in particular, the tax-free ‘lump sum’ award, (based upon completed years of service), that he would receive in addition to his monthly pension.

The letter read:

“Dear Lt. Colonel Maclaren,

We write to confirm that you retired from the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards on 1st March 2001 at the rank of Lt Colonel, having been commissioned into the British Army at Edinburgh Castle as a 2nd Lieutenant on 1st February 1366.

Accordingly your lump sum payment, based on years served, has been calculated as £68,500. You will receive a cheque for this amount in due course.

Yours sincerely,

Army Paymaster”

Col Maclaren replied:

“Dear Paymaster,

Thank you for your recent letter confirming that I served as an officer in the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards between 1st February 1366 and 1st March 2001 – a total period of 635 years and 1 month.

I note however that you have calculated my lump sum to be £68, 500, which seems to be considerably less than it should be bearing in mind my length of service since I received my commission from King Edward III.

By my calculation, allowing for interest payments and currency fluctuations, my lump sum should actually be £6,427,586,619.47p.

I look forward to receiving a cheque for this amount in due course.

Yours sincerely,

Robert Maclaren (Lt Col Retd)”

A month passed by and then in early April, a stout manilla envelope from the Ministry of Defence in Edinburgh dropped through Col Maclaren’s letter box, it read:

“Dear Lt Colonel Maclaren,

We have reviewed the circumstances of your case as outlined in your recent letter to us dated 8th March inst.

We do indeed confirm that you were commissioned into the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards by King Edward III at Edinburgh Castle on 1st February 1366, and that you served continuously for the following 635 years and 1 month.

We have re-calculated your pension and have pleasure in confirming that the lump sum payment due to you is indeed £6,427,586,619.47p.

However,

We also note that according to our records you are the only surviving officer who had command responsibility during the following campaigns and battles:

*The Wars of the Roses 1455 -1485 (Including the battles of Bosworth Field, Barnet and Towton)

*The Civil War 1642 -1651 (Including the battles Edge Hill, Naseby and the conquest of Ireland)

*The Napoleonic War 1803 – 1815 (including the battle of Waterloo and the Peninsular War)

*The Crimean War (1853 – 1856) (including the battle of Sevastopol and the Charge of the Light Brigade)

*The Boer War (1899 -1902).

We would therefore wish to know what happened to the following, which do not appear to have been returned to Stores by you on completion of operations:

*9765 Cannon
*26,785 Swords
*12,889 Pikes
*127,345 Rifles (with bayonets)
*28,987 horses (fully kitted)

Plus three complete marching bands with instruments and banners.

We have calculated the total cost of these items and they amount to £6,427,518.119.47p.

WE have therefore subtracted this sum from your lump sum, leaving a residual amount of £68,500, for which you will receive a cheque in due course.

Yours sincerely . . . .”

Desmond is still campaigning with a shirt carrying Tinubu’s and Gbaja’s faces. Can’t link those videos here because I’m blocked.

Good to know that thunder wan actually fire Desmond Elliot finally.

[YabaLeftOnline @yabaleftonline]

I almost lost my job as Chief of Staff to President Tinubu last year. President Tinubu called me to his study in his Abuja house during the Obasa impeachment saga and asked me if Desmond Elliott was my boy. I replied to the president that he's my boy.

President Tinubu then told me that he heard that Desmond was part of the people causing problems in the Lagos State House of Assembly. Immediately, I told the President that Desmond wasn't part of them, but the president replied to me and said that from the intelligence he got, Desmond was part of them.

After that meeting, I called Desmond and told what the president said and asked him to leave the group if he was part of them. Three days later, the DSS DG called me and said there's a problem. He said your name is being mentioned that you're the one behind the impeachment saga and that you're supporting Desmond.

I told the DSS DG and told him I've spoken to Desmond and he denied being part of the group. I then called Desmond to make a public statement to deny his involvement in the impeachment saga, but till today, he hasn't done it.

— Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to President Tinubu, withdraws his support for Desmond Elliott, who is seeking a fourth term in the Lagos State House of Assembly.

Grateful to Counsel & litigant for choosing the path of civil procedure.

Because they could’ve chosen to commence criminal proceedings just for the purpose of unsettling her and her studies/admission at the Law School.

I disagree with criminalizing defamation, let it be known.

[Foundational Nupe Lawyer @egi_nupe]

For those of you who have refused to learn from free advice we give you here come and learn again:

1. The fact that you did not explicitly mention someone’s name is not a defence to defamation, if from the words used it can be concluded or inferred that you are talking to or referring to a plaintiff or claimant.

2. The fact that you only reposted, reported or republished a defamatory statement makes you liable to the extent to which the original maker or author will be liable to the Claimant even if the original maker or author is not made a party to the suit.

If you can’t prove it, don’t post it.

I will tell you exactly what happened.
But I need you to understand the context first because without context it sounds like a small thing. And it was not a small thing. It just looked like one from the outside.
It was a Tuesday morning. Normal road. Normal checkpoint. I pulled over calmly because I had nothing to hide. Every document in that car was valid and current. Insurance. Hackney permit. Driver's license. Everything.
He collected them. Looked at them. And put them in his pocket.
Not on the bonnet. Not on his clipboard. In his pocket.
Then he told me to park to one side.
I asked what the issue was. He said "you know what the issue is."
I did not know what the issue was. Because there was no issue. That was the issue.
He held my documents for three hours on that road. Three hours. While I watched him wave car after car through. Some he stopped briefly. Most he collected from and waved on. The ones who settled moved. The ones who didn't moved eventually anyway after he made his calculation about who would fight and who wouldn't.
He calculated wrong with me.
But here is what finally pushed me all the way to Federal High Court and not just a complaint letter or a social media post.
It was not the three hours.
It was not the money he was looking for.
It was the absolute certainty on his face.
He was not nervous. He was not cautious. He did not lower his voice or look around before he spoke in riddles. He did all of this in broad daylight on a public road with full confidence that nothing would happen to him.
That confidence was built on every person before me who paid and drove off without consequence.
And I decided that I was going to be the consequence.
Read the full thread from the beginning. Everything is there.

I enquired as to the facts of the case and, more so, as to why a Defendant would be unhappy about being a free man once again.
