I hear you loud and clear. Lots of reaching around goes on in Nigeria over real estate sales. Hyper overhyping

In the USA we have MLS where all the active real estate listings and sales are listed on. With this a good Realtor will be able to calculate going prices for property in an area in any corner of the USA. Things like closeness to fire station, school district rating, public transport, shopping, etc go in to factor the going $ per square foot. In Nigeria I haven't found this. No one knows. I'm selling a property in Ijebu Ode as an example and all I have to go by i just intuition.

So me I don't participate in that tomfoolery I just go out to the suburbs and buy land in wholesale. I've never bought any land over N500K in Nigeria and I use that as a baseline. Some plots I bought in Elebu, Ibadan for N500K are now selling for N6.5M. These are facts that I know first hand.

As always. What I post is not a bible, just my opinion and doesn't mean its the only way.

A Somali within Nigeria is pretty clear, no room for ambiguity there. We all know what Somalia is synonymous with and it ain't peaceful coexistence. So you stand by calling Northern Nigeria a war zone yet claiming a lack of comprehension on whatever point you were trying to make, good for you. Wonder why you tried to retract your statement in the first place. Stand by your prejudices

Footstradamus:


The bolded, i rest my case

The stereotyping of the north as some blood soaked, war ravaged part of the country is wrong. People live peaceful lives and go about their normal lives there, i would have expected better from someone born there but guess i was wrong

ceelog:


I can confirm that the process is cheaper than a strip foundation with chained DPC.
My foundation is similar and its a duplex built by a NL Engineer

AngelicBeing:
Point to anywhere in my original post were l retractrd my statement?

I repeat for emphasis sake, Northern Nigeria is like Somalia and Abuja is the only place in the North l can live at the moment , l have no apologies, for my post

Surely a two bedroom with one family bathroom, and one visitors toilet comes highly recommended, provides needed privacy, completely ideal, and provides for better use of space and resources. That wasn't the contention, it is having two bedrooms ensuite without provision for the visitors is what is at issue.

If you agree that a visitors toilet is an essential provision in a two bedroom apartment and not an overkill design, I yield with respect.

coldcandy:
You are WRONG.
The north is now a killing field. We shouldn't deny that. I am from the north and I currently live in abuja.

Zagee:
Good day house, please I would love to know the estimated cost for a one storey high with a two bedroom apartment on each level. Foundation - casting - roofing. Thanks

Footstradamus:


What exactly do you have against en suite bedrooms? Getting a bit tedious coming on here to see you arguing against the same daily. I thought that chapter was closed when it was pointed out to you it all comes down to choice.

Next thing you know you will be advocating communal baths in each street to minimize cost, doing away with the one bath per house entirely

Pascal2016:

That's exactly what my Engr said, that it's cheaper to do structural foundation with pad/plinth instead of doing strip foundation with chained DPC.
He told me that he will use 12mm rod to chain it all round including the areas that will carry partition wall and DPC will be done on top of the reinforced beams. He further told me that loads will be transferred via the foundation beams to the pad and the house will be strong.
I am only worried because it's a 2 storey building and I have not seen that before.
I will appreciate more lights on this from the gurus on this platform.
Thank you all for your contributions so far.

Footstradamus:


No apologies was demanded, your lily livered response to try to retract your initial statement was what was pointed out. We are all entitled to our opinions.

Footstradamus:

The bolded doesn't mean your opinions are valid.

Boko Haram insurgency is limited to certain areas of the north. Banditry and kidnapping is a national menace.

There is no state in Nigeria called the North. We are discussing 19 states, are you arguing all 19 states are now "killing fields", if so you Sir/Ma are a liar and that is my opinion

coldcandy:
Just ignore him or her. I don't think he is in this country. The painful thing is that when south south was boiling, the elders came out to quell it. When kidnapping was a bizness in d east, the state govts came out to crush it. Here in the north, we are denying that we have issues. Oh my God! Abeg, this is a building thread not political thread so i fem.

coldcandy:
Now you are narrowing it to Boko Haram. Oga, ALL 19 states including abuja are now a killing field.
North is north. People use it as it suits their narrative. What is your own narrative?
Why do u find it difficult to accept?
A problem well diagnosed is a problem half solved.

omanzo02:


I think you are missing the point lol.

Footstradamus:


All 19 states? That is news to me but then again lies are always disguised as facts

Your narrative i guess is you are an embittered southern Kaduna indigene who gets off smearing all Northerners as killers i guess

I generally find lies difficult to digest

Now that's enough of that. Apologies to the building enthusiasts for derailing this thread, I find it hard to keep quiet when people peddle their false narratives. Back to building. Apologies once again

EgunMogaji2:


I'm still going to do it. Even if I have to ask the invitation from Shekau himself.

ollykay619:

Thank you sir. I have been in ibadan since March of this year, I am very much on ground. But I don't know places like that and don't really know someone that can take me around.

As for omo onile, that is not the issue, it is a one time thing. My concern is the kind of people that constitute the neighbourhood.

Badgers14:


You are a brave soul

A colleague have been moving mountains for me to move to Nassarawa I am like, well ehm..... you know ....... I might still meander and visit though.. fingers crossed.

omanzo02:

It's Dutch spoken in The Netherlands and Flanders in Belgium. The German language is called Deutch.

Footstradamus:


I don't think i am. You argue against properties up for rental having ensuite bedrooms with a visitors toilet, but then willfully ignore the fact that renters are also entitled to taste and generally you can always charge more for a house with all ensuite bathrooms. So far you have not acknowledged any merits of a house having all ensuite bathrooms and your only demerits are cost and overkill.

You actually showed your hand when you agreed with the poster who said "if the tenant has high tastes he should go and build his house" which is an unfortunate mindset to have. Renting doesn't strip an individual of taste.

The city of Ibadan is naturally drained by four rivers with many tributaries: Ona River in the North and West; Ogbere River towards the East; Ogunpa River flowing through the city and Kudeti River in the Central part of the metropolis. Ogunpa River, a third-order stream with a channel length of 12.76 km and a catchment area of 54.92 km2.
