New discount prices at Novare mall plus more pictures.

The New store which opened yesterday,  August 25th,  2016, is situated at the corner of Lekki-Epe Express Way and Cardinal Anthony, Olubunmi-Okogie Road, Lekki, Lagos.
Games,  a merchandise of household items,  stocked it's mall with various items sold at cheaper rates when compared to the market prices.  The marketing and costumer director Mark Tuner had this to say

“We are delighted that Nigerian consumers have shown us such great support by supporting our Game stores in Lagos, Enugu, Kano and Jabi Lake. Game’s value for money concept of discount retailing which has earned the group a loyal customer base across Nigeria will dramatically expand the shopping options that have been available in Lekki before now” said Turner.

 The mall has over 100 shops located within which offer variety of services.  See more pictures after the cut.

August 25th, a remarkable day for the ibeju-lekki community.

This project has been on for 22 months.  And today,  the once rural community (ibeju-lekki)  has been brought to limelight by the management of the biggest shopping mall in Lagos. We have in attendance the top members of the society for the commissioning.  The likes of the VC of the PAN African University, the MD,  zenith bank and representatives

 from the Lagos State house etc.    If you are waiting for Dangote to commission his refinery before you will buy  a property,  then you have a lot to think too.  No amount is too small.  Come and buy now to worry no more.  Check our products/estates for more information.

 Pictures of the commissioning of the N31.5b novare lekki mall.  This is happening now as I am writing.

More pictures later.

The much anticipated N31.5b Novare Lekki Mall will be commissioned today.

The 22,000sqm Novare Lekki Mall will open this week on the 25th August with over 1,000 parking bays and anchors such as Shoprite, Game and Genesis Deluxe Cinemas. Other tenants include Adidas, HealthPlus, Pep, MTN, Tantalizers, Swatch, Levi’s, Spur, Nike and Stanbic IBTC Bank.

The mall is very well located with an excellent catchment area, and will serve multiple residential estates and underserved communities nearby. On Springville Road alone, there are up to 10 residential estates including a Grenadines Homes project that is still in the pipeline. Along the Lekki Epe Expressway others include Crown Estate, Abijo GRA, Fara Park, the Ajah, Awoyaya and Ibeju Communities and many others. As noted earlier, the mall will have a huge impact on the Lekki submarket because of the absence of any other mall of its kind within a 26km radius.

During a press briefing reported by Vanguard, the Chairman of Novare Group, Professor Fabian Ajogwu SAN, said the Novare Lekki Mall was driven by foreign direct investment FDI, valued at  N31.5 billion, and funded by a mixture of equity and debt financing.

Last month, the sponsors of Lekki Mall, Novare Equity Partners announced the final close of the Novare Africa Property Fund II after raising $350 million (R5.25 billion) for investment in a portfolio of new developments in Nigeria, Zambia and Mozambique in among others.

LAGOS LAND USE FACTS.

The combination of all property and land based rates and charges payable under Lands Rates, Neighborhood Improvement Charge and Tenement Rates Laws make up the Lagos State Land Use Charge (LUC) which derives its legitimacy from the Land Use Charge Law No. 11, of 2001. The LUC was designed in order to help government generate more needed revenue to develop the state in the light of increasing demand for the provision of urban and rural infrastructure and other expenditures.

Facts #1
The LUC law does not apply to all properties in the State.
Properties exempted from the operation of this law are government-owned properties, and other properties used for public, religious and charitable activities.
NB:- However, this exemption will only be granted where an application for exemption is made to the State Commissioner for Finance.

Facts #2
Liability:- The charge is imposed on the owner of a property.
#2.1:- Where the owner is not in possession of the property, the LUC law authorises the collecting authority to appoint the occupier(tenant) to be assessed with and pay for the tax; the tenant is in turn also authorised by the law to offset such a payment from monies that may be due from the tenant to the owner of the property.
#2.2:- There is thus an indemnity in favour of the occupant (tenant) against the owner. Where a property owner did not receive the First Demand Notice, the Lagos state government advises that complaints be registered through any of their customer service channels.
#2.3:- All claims of non receipt of First Demand Notice will be checked against their proof of delivery of all bills. The cost of assessment is free to property owners; they are not expected to pay for assessment of property. The amount charged is not negotiable. However, if payment is made within 15days of the delivery of the demand notice, a discount of 15 percent is applicable.
#2.4:- In cases where property owners receive Land Use Charge Bill for the first time, yet they are being asked to pay arrear, demand notices issued with arrears are reviewed against proof of delivery of the Land Use Charge demand notices on such properties for the previous year(s) for necessary correction.
#2.5:- In a situation whereby the property owner received the Tenement rate demand notice and has made payment before receiving the Land Use charge demand notice for the first time, the amount paid should be deducted from the Land Use Charge (if the Land Use Charge is higher than the Tenement rate,) then pay the outstanding balance. All evidence of payment including payment of Tenement rate should be forwarded to their office. It is noteworthy however, where Land Use Charge demand notice is received before any of the consolidated charges i.e. tenement rate, ground rent and neighborhood improvement charges, Land use charge should be paid as it covers all these rates and charges.

Facts #3
Assessment:- Properties in the same area and occupying the same size of land can be charged at different rates. For the purpose of Land Use Charge, properties are assessed individually. For example, in valuing any property(ies) having similar features, physical appearance, aesthetic features and age will determine the property class rate (i.e. high, medium, and low).
Another criteria also for charging different rates on any similar properties is the usage and status of occupation..

Note:- Property assessment is classified under 3 broad categories i.e. Commercial, Industrial and Residential usages.
*Commercial properties generally attract a rate of 0.394 percent of the assessed value.
*Industrial properties attract also a rate of 0.132 percent of the assessed value; however note that this will only be applicable where the property owner is the occupier of the property.
*Residential properties are categorized under three scenarios, all attracting different rates.
**A property solely occupied by the owner for residential purpose will be charged at a rate of 0.0394 percent.
** A similar property occupied by the property owner and tenant(s) or third parties will be charged at a rate of 0.132 percent.
**A similar property fully occupied by tenants or third party/parties for revenue generation, charged at a rate of 0.394 percent.
The LUC does not provide for installment payments particularly because 15% discount is granted for early payment. However, any amounts left unpaid are carried over to the next year with its full interest compliment.

MANY BUY LAND WITHOUT TELLING THEIR RELATIVES, OTHERS BUY WITHOUT GENUINE DOCUMENTS... OYEGBOLA

The Lagos State Government has advised those intending to invest in landed property in the state, to follow due process or risk losing such investments.

At a one-day workshop organized by Tayo Tiwo & Co in partnership with Sofunix Investcom, the Director of Land Services in Lagos State, Mr. Babatunde Oyegbola regretted that many people acquire properties before carrying out proper investigations to ascertain the genuineness of such properties and in doing so gave series of advice on how one can follow due process.

In advising the general public, he said “Application to the office of Surveyor General seeking information in respect to the land in question can save you from losing your hard earn resources.”

He also advised that if one is engaging in that kind of investment, one must be ready to open up and seek legal counsel.

The director lamented at how many buy land without telling their relatives, while some buy without genuine documents.

In stating their achievement, Director Oyegbola said; “Our recent achievement in the processing of Certificate of Occupancy, C of O, indicated that the future is bright. Last year, we started with digital processing of Cof O which was first of its kind in Nigeria.” When we did the first test run, the whole process was completed in 17 minutes. The dynamism aspect of it is that the governor can sign a thousand copies with a press of button and he can do that from any part of the world. Even when on holiday, he can read through them and right from his bed, he can sign it. The focus of the state government is to ensure that the whole process of perfection of titles is carried out digitally as against manual which will help us to eliminate delay in processing. The past administration has invested so much in pursuit of digitalization and we are sure that the administration of his Governor Akinwunmi Ambode will see to its completion”.

COMMISSIONER - YOUTHS HAVE A LOT TO CONTRIBUTE TO LAGOS GDP

The Commissioner for Youth and Social Development; Mrs. Uzamat Akinbile-Yussuf

The Lagos State Ministry of Youth and Social Development has pledged to make sure that youths play an active role in the economic growth and success of Lagos State in line with the promise of the Governor Akinwunmi Ambode led administration to run an all-inclusive government.

In continuation with the activities of the United Nations (UN) International Youth Day celebration, themed: The Road to 2030: Eradicating Poverty and Achieving Sustainable Consumption and Production, the Commissioner in the person of Pharm. (Mrs.) Uzamat Akinbile-Yussuf, made this pledge.

The Commissioner explained that the future of economic growth and success of the State would be better tackled with young, innovative and energizing workforce, stressing that the National Youth Council and other youth platforms must be inspired to immensely add to the process of improving Lagos GDP and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

In the words of the wife of the State Governor, Mrs. Bolanle Ambode represented by Mrs. Bolanle Whenu, “Being gainfully employed should not be narrowed down to government employment alone as there are other ways of making income by being entrepreneurs in which the Lagos State Government has continued to create the enabling environment”.

She stressed also that, “the Employment Trust Fund of the State Government is on course to launch enterprising young persons to real entrepreneurship”.

However, she gave her word  that the State government would continue to create opportunity for self-employment for young people, also adding that it has established several agricultural schemes across the State including the ‘Agricultural Yes’ program at Badagry and many more.

DANGOTE REFINERY CONFIRMS LAGOS AS PRIME INVESTMENT DESTINATION – AMBODE …Says Project’ll Resolve Fuel Supply Challenge in W’Africa, Create Jobs

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode on Tuesday said the largest single line refinery in the world being developed at the Lekki Free Trade Zone (LFTZ) by Africa’s richest man and business mogul, Alhaji Aliko Dangote is another confirmation that Lagos is a prime investment destination, saying that the project will positively change the face of oil and gas business in the West African region.

Governor Ambode, who spoke at the LFTZ during an extensive inspection tour of the Dangote Refinery by the Togolese President, Mr Faure Gnassingbe, said the refinery eloquently attests to the fact that there is a positive investment climate in Lagos which has resulted in massive investor confidence.

The Governor said: “This investment (Dangote Refinery) is one of the biggest in Africa today and will have a huge impact on the economy of not only Nigeria but the whole of West African region.

“This refinery, when completed, will be the largest single line refinery anywhere in the world refining 650,000 barrels of crude oil daily.

“Apart from creating jobs, this refinery will contribute immensely to solving the fuel supply challenge in the West African region,” Governor Ambode said.

The Governor expressed satisfaction with the level of work done on the project so far, saying that he was happy that a lot of progress had been made.

He commended Dangote for his vision, doggedness and unwavering desire to contribute positively to the growth of the Nigerian economy, as well as his confidence in the Lagos economy.

Governor Ambode said aside the fact that the project confirmed the positive investment climate in Lagos which has resulted in massive investor confidence, he also strongly believes that the future prosperity of West Africa is in collaboration between government and investors, which was why his administration has been working hard to encourage investment in the State.

He reiterated that Lagos is home to all nations, races and creeds, including substantial Togolese population, adding: “I’m positive that we are providing them with the opportunities to get ahead in their endeavors.”

Governor Ambode said as a prominent Head of State in the West African region, he was not oblivious of the interest of President Gnassingbe in the Dangote Refinery, adding that the project was one of the emerging opportunities in Lagos State.

While inviting Togolese investors to take advantage of the positive investment climate in Lagos, Governor Ambode said the State is open for businesses, and that his administration, in a bid to encourage investment, had massively invested in infrastructure and security of lives and property.

“Lagos is open for business. We are open to collaboration with the Togolese Government and investors to move our two countries forward.

“Our government is investing massively in creating infrastructure which will support businesses and individuals. We have made huge investment in security and we will continue to ensure that the lives and property of all citizens are secured.

“We will remain partner in progress with all our investors. Our desire is for investors to invest in Lagos, grow their businesses, create wealth and jobs for our people and ultimately grow our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) positively,” Governor Ambode said.

Earlier, Nigeria’s Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Mr. Okechukwu Enelamah said the Dangote Refinery project could best be described as a partnership between private sector and government at its best.

Enelamah commended Dangote for being not only Nigerian champion but champion of Africa with his massive investments and re-investments, which according to him, are creating jobs and growing the economy.

“We need champions and Dangote is a Nigerian champion; he is an African champion; he is also a role model.

“We need many examples and with the repositioning that the Federal Government is doing, we are going to see many more examples,” Enelamah said.

On his part, Dangote commended President Gnassingbe for finding out time to inspect the refinery, adding that he was happy with the interest and encouragement being received over the project.

Apart from the refinery, there is also petrochemical, fertilizer and gas plant with daily production capacity of three billion cubic feet of gas which are being developed by the Dangote Group, all in one location.

Some eminent dignitaries that participated at the tour include former governors of Ogun, Ekiti and Cross River States, Segun Osoba, Niyi Adebayo and Donald Duke respectively; billionaire businessman and Chairman, Zenon Petroleum and Gas Limited, Femi Otedola, members of the Lagos State Executive Council, among others.

Earn over N950,000.

I was chatting with one of my course mate back in the university last night and it was quite impressing things i heard from her. To think that her career was on point (when every one else looked down on her) was amazing.....

But what strucked me in our conversation was that she was already SATISFIED with what she was earning and hence wasn't interested in any other source of income.... OK cool.

So i am asking you my readers? Are you satisfied with your present income that you don't want another source of income without little or no stress?
 
I present to you "WORK WITH US (NOT FOR US) IN NIGERIA " A professional real estate avenue to make over N950,000.

Don't just give up...

I wonder why people give up so soon. Someone signed up to do a business, and in just 2 Months or 3 Months in it, they go cold, they give up! They don't go for seminars anymore, they don't read books.

And when you ask them, you hear, "it doesn't work for me".

I realize that our (youths especially) problem is we want to get rich over night!. Some other people are greedy!!. They want to acquire & see all the wealth & millions in 1, 2  Months... of starting, while most people are looking for a short cut to riches. Then when they couldn't achieve all this in a short time, they quit! If you have this attributes you can Never be successful in Business!

"Except a grain falls to the ground and dies, it will not spring up. When u plant a seed, it will first die, rotten before it starts to grow and that is process".

That is to tell us that you must pass through a natural process of working, grooming, transformation in all areas before you succeed. All these are natural laws to Prosperity.

You need to see the work those persons at the top are doing to achieve Success. Great sacrifices, extraordinary things. They do not give room for excuses! 100% focus on their goal! They are never distracted. They are not moved by Rejection......

It takes TIME to build a SYSTEM that will pay u over TIME.
Every billionaire u see today has worked for years, I mean many years before they became great in their Business.

Before u say this Business is not working for me, STOP! and ask yourself the following questions..

• How long have i built my business?
• What are the extraordinary things i have done to come out great?
• How old am i in this business?
• How many people have I introduce into my business 
• What effort have I made to bring the best out of them.

Until you change your APPROACH, your MIND, your THINKING....you cannot see the change you desire in your business.

Happy new month to all my readers.

Hello Readers, it is a new month and a new day, a fresh beginning (I smell the air of freshness..... smiles). While you decide on how you want your month to be, you can as well take time out to thank your maker for life. Have a fulfilled month.
