Anambra State law against collecting money from property developers by youth groups and others.

The Anambra State Government strictly prohibits all unauthorized individuals, youth organizations, and Community Development Committees (CDCs) from collecting levies, foundation digging fees, or "deve" (development fees) from property developers.

Key Details of the Legislation:

The Law: Enforcement falls under the Public and Private Property Protection Law 2018 and the Prohibition of Fraudulent Practices on Land and Property Law of 2012.

The Ban: The collection of any form of unapproved levies (often called "deve" or up to 10% from land sales) or foundation digging fees at construction sites is illegal in all 25 Local Government Areas.

Penalties: Violators face severe consequences, including up to 5 years imprisonment or a fine of up to ₦1,000,000.

Support: To protect developers from exploitation, forceful entry and assaults on construction workers by unauthorized groups are treated as offenses.

For more official guidance or to report illegal extortion in the state, you can refer to the official Anambra State Government portal.

Headline: Why your dream building might become a nightmare (and how to stop it!) 🏗️📉
​Building a home or office is more than just stacking bricks. It’s a complex dance between art, science, and finance. As an Architect, I’ve seen many clients stall their own progress without realizing it.
​Here are the 5 Biggest Mistakes clients make when hiring an Architect:
​1️⃣ The "Pinterest" Trap: Prioritizing looks over how the building actually works. A glass house in a tropical climate is a greenhouse, not a home!
2️⃣ The Budget Secret: Hiding your true budget leads to designs you can’t afford. Be honest early to get the best value.
3️⃣ The Need for Speed: Rushing the design phase. A month of planning saves a year of construction headaches.
4️⃣ Micromanagement: You hired a professional for their vision. Give your Architect the room to solve the puzzle for you.

5️⃣ Site Denial: Trying to force a "template" plan onto a unique piece of land. Let the land speak to the design.
​Don’t let these mistakes cost you millions. Let’s design with purpose!

Design errors in building design series.

Have you ever gone to a house and you find out that the toilet and bath are so tightly spaced that you find it hard especially to bath?

This is a design error.

You need a bath where you can freely bath and control the bath water.

This is especially so in bedroom with its own toilet and bath .

Choose well those who design your building so you won't end up having one of these building design errors.
