@@Chiefvera Vera, please stop engaging in a tit for tat or back and forth with your viewers who leave comments in your page. They are your viewers. Leave your viewers to do the argument within themselves. It seems that comment "form" got under your skin. You don't need to. They are YOUR viewers. Remember that. Just like your customers.
These useless levies are meaningless. There is no electricity, no security, no running water etc. I can't wait for Biafran government to take over. We would abolish all these useless levies and meaningless charges. You guy disgust me! Too greedy!
Vera please can you do a video about the use of alternative building materials besides cement, like clay bricks and materials that can be locally sourced. Such materials could reduce building costs and maybe even cooling costs. Also a video about architects who design houses with African ambience and not this western style bungalows and duplexes that have become the norm. Maybe a listing of affordable construction companies will also help. btw, great informative channel on Enugu. keep up the good work
Nice one... Though I think one can get land as cheap as 3m-5m in a good place for immediate development within Enugu. However some area can even cost more than 35mil. Its a matter of cutting one's cloth according to his/her Materials.
From my village to enugu is about 15 to 20 minutes so I don't to build private house in the city except I want to build a renting house....35m no be change oooo
Vera I have not watched your videos in a long while. It’s good to see you’re back and doing a good job as usual. I find this vlog particularly interesting, because being a US based contractor, I was interested in comparing and contrasting. I find the different preliminary fees charged so numerous, making cost of doing business in Enugu high, time consuming and tedious. Most often I do my own designs, and I have designed few houses for my clients, who built in Nigeria. My question is what is the ball park figure for the type of duplex you guys discussed from start to finish, turnkey?
Is this how it sucks to buy land and build a house in Nigeria as a whole or it's only Enugu? I mean those inogwe fees, madudayi fees, chief nwakutu land fees, community nwekete fees etc are for what???
@@omacathy1254, I am not even from Nigeria, but I have deep routes in Nigeria because my parents once lived in Nigeria precisely in Bayelsa. I love Nigeria, but never been there. All the land levies listed in the video are ridiculous and discouraging. We have no such numerous levies in my locality back in my own native country.
Those places you're mentioning like independence layout will discourage your audience. Why not say Abakpa, Ibagwa, Umuchigbo etc? A plot of land can be as minimal as 3 - 3.5m and not 35m as he is mentioning. Only few go to those high profile areas now.
Land 35m + building 35m = 70m ? Or I'm I missing something here? 😕 Na waa oo! Odikwa egwu oo! Abeg wetin dey happen for Enugu? No vex sey I dey ask! No wonder "ndi yahoo and ogwu ego" full everywhere!
My dear, Owerri is even worst. Some places go for 70m a plot. It is insane. An enclave with 30 thousand Naira less than 62usd as minimum wage a month is mind boggling. That country Nigeria need to be dismantled.
@@ulomaokoye6973, even if these estates are in heaven, I’II still tell God that he’s greedy. 35m naira for a piece of dirt (especially, in Enugu) is greed and unconscionable. Nigerians steal Nigeria blind and retire in Enugu. Enugu is just a paper-pushing city/state dominated by government officials.
The levies are too much in Enugu city yet we don't know what the governor does with that whole money. He is not building new roads, water or infrastructure within the city. It's not same in Awka, Abakiliki, owerri or even nsukka the govs’s hometown. Ugwuanyi is just running a corrupt land racket and if he doesn't sit up, most people will start moving towards Awka. The new 🛫 in Anambra is an attraction. Your vlog was very informative.
The price is in line with the current prices of building materials. You do know how much a bag of cement costs?, and other materials needed. Do the math
Vera gave you old price for foundation work, if you want your foundation higher you will spend more than that amount. Presently I allow clients to buy their materials due to how costly things are in the market.
Oh how much cost to rent duplex in Nigeria 🇳🇬? When someone will pay 35m naira for a plot of land 🙄🤔😳you people aren't serious, that 35m will go far in building that house tho and not everybody are governor or president to be able to buy just a plot for 35m naira, please next time bring your interview down to the level of middle mind-set of the citizens 😉😀
Is Enugu the most expensive place to build a house or what? Looks like the preliminary things may take more than 70K before you talk of the actual building process. Unbelievable!
I guess you read the title of the video before watching it. That would have saved you a lot of time. Now, coming to your point, do middle class citizens shop basic building materials from a different market? The cost cut across all Socioeconomic status. Next time, before you downplay someone's effort, consider whether the content was targeted to you.
@@Chiefvera Not downplaying your effort but just giving you a sound and professional advice. We building professionals can understand you but an average starter may not if you start them from a high end cost. Thanks for the effort though.
@@Chiefvera Why that show of anger? Your response was rude. Please learn to absorb criticism even if it's absurd so as to encourage people to follow your channel. Again I agree with him. There is a way to balance issues in other to encourage investment, e.g 35m for a plot of land in independence layout but can be as low as 3.5m in Ibagwa which is a suburb. If you don't do this only few who started watching will watch to the end and TH-cam won't tell you that.
I understand the criticism for the Vera, but she's taking it personal. Saying that a plot of land in enugu is 35m isn't encouraging at all, when there are still places you can get a land for 2m. Those wealthy people you think you are doing this video for are actually not your subscribers.
Why many fees,? would that not discourage a lot of people in Enugu state from building houses?. In the western countries people only pay money for the land , building permits and hire a builder to build your house that is it. This is the 21th century the IMO people are still acting like they are in 60th with their greed. Stop stop that foolishness, one pay elders, young man, state building planners ,and many other fees. These are some unreasonable demands that is making African backward. Why people pay all those fees.
It's appalling to be honest. These unnecessary fees are the reasons why rent is as expensive as they are. Landlords consider them and the cost of materials and go crazy with the amount they rent their building. The greed runs from top to down
He's making sense, I am from Enugu state, I built bungalow in my village. Everything cost me over 15million, this in the village not even in the Enugu city. 4 bedroom.
U cant scare people away by saying 35m.for Land. It depends.many developing Land in Enugu is from 2m to 10m.
Thank for your effort.we appreciate.
I wasnt trying to scare anyone away. High brow and developed areas in Enugu metropolis cost that high. You can ask around.
You're very correct.
Mentioning N35m straight away was a complete turn off. Very pretentious. She could have said N2m or thereabout. No need to "form"

I bought 2 plots at amokpo Nike and paid more than the amount I bought the land i paid 320,000 to surveyor 2 plots alone. Plus many more payments
