Hahahahaha, a lot of amala and you forgot to mention bokoto! :P

That's a frigging lot much! But what can I say, thinking about it gives me headache, considering the fact that a lot of peeps in the 'burbs are trying to salvage what is left of their beams and aluminium zinc, from El Rufai's rampage.

I have been into many of these houses, they are not Oyinbos. Many are Nigerians and other African nationals with multiple nationalities who happens to have Western experience or posted here. So if you want to come back dami and you can get DFID or USAID to post you to Nigeria you will get one of those.

$40 grand a year rent, and he has to share a pool? That's not right surely:)
Wonder how many beggars his monthly rent would feed?.....

Jay..Here's some food for thoght to make you feel better....
its been quietly(due to the minimal press attention) discussed that the UK gov are may be looking into basing the council tax bill of a property according to the views from the house...! Absurd!, i know!....BUT i jest you not!..it was a topic of 2hr debate on the BBC radio sometimes earlier this year!!!!????

If such a practise existed in Nigeria..I'm sure you'll go back to your humble abode giving thanks!

With my apartment overlooking 2 old and quiet harbours in Amsterdam, I cannot complain, a similar view in London might cost the total GNP of a Bantustan.

If envy fills you with the determination to attain, maybe that is not too bad.

sorry for the trouble Jeremy...thanks

Chevron, MTN, and a couple of other companies/Embassies pay that kind of money for their Big Boys.

It's a hard knock life Mr.Weate.

All those Apartments are owned by Nigerian Directors in those Companies Go figure!

The rent is about $ 3,500 per month- way above the average monthly mortgage payment in the United States. I’m curious to know where your friend works and what he does in Abuja. That rent tag is high and way above the average by any standard, well, may be not.
