This is so true especially for completed buildings designed to personal taste. However, a plot of land will liquidate faster and better than a completed building. A piece of land is seen as a blank canvas so buyers are free to decide what should be built or be done to the land. So a plot of land will shift faster than a luxury home. Commercial buildings or buildings with the potentials to be repurposed to a commercial outfit will also shift faster.

But you are right and I'm with you on this. "The situation in Nigeria now is a very big challenge even for Economists."

This is my current palaver. I am only getting showings from folks interested in using it as a school grin

This issue is a dicey one. Real estate may store value but how easily can it be liquidated? With the rate of inflation skyrocketing, a house valued at N100m may stay months or even years in the market without buyers. I watched a documentary about some folks who had their houses listed for sale about 5 years ago without buyers even after heavy discounts. If owners want to match rent to high cost of building materials, their units will remain vacant because income is not rising with inflation.

The situation in Nigeria now is a very big challenge even for Economists.

each time I visit this thread, I learn something new. The caliber of discussion happening here no be small.


Look at how you explained the sad situation

Repurpose as a school is a really bright idea if the catchment demographic is right. YOU can even latch on to the idea of a school, to be honest.

Before you get started, one expo. Small private school business in Nigeria is "entrepreneur focused." What this means is parents (customers) tend to follow the principle (entrepreneur) and not necessarily the physical school. A modest physical structure ( your house) will only facilitate to establish a brand (Your sister in law).
Whenever she decides to move on, the parents would follow her, especially if she is moving to another convenient location. Your physical structure might not retain enough customers (parents).
Are you ready to get involved in the day to day running of the business where you would become familiarized with parents and be sure to create the needed PR?
It sounds like starting another career after retirement.

Hello, goog morning professionals in the house, wants to make enquiries on my newly done solar inverter.


The solar was installed on Friday morning;

2 pcs of 200W PV
12/24 40a Mg-43l solar charge controller
850Va Nexus inverter.
2 pcs of 12v 100ah sunfit deep cycle dry cell battery.

What I realise so far are;

When the battery level is full (4 bar) its usually 13.5-14v
…on 3 bar, 13v
On 2 bar, 13v below.
On Saturday night, after much charge with the scorching sun and electricity in the night,
The electricity was later seized and under 5 mins of usage wt just one 5w bulb, the battery dropped from 3 bar to 2 bar, and the voltage from 13.1V to 12.5V.
After that, I’ve been noticing quick drop like that in few minutes but have never go beyond 12…v (which is always 2 bar level battery on solar charge controller) since usage even overnight.
Any advice sir. Thanks in anticipation.
There is nothing wrong with your set up,
Your battery is a 12v battery not 13volts battery,
The optimal operating voltage if a 12vbattery is around 12volts
It shows 14 and 13 volts when its connected to charging devices or just after being disconnected from charger
So forget about the voltages,
Most inverter battery bar doesnt report the true capacity it only reports based on volts while some does

Good evening Everyone. I need to share this with you guys. I posted a floor plan of 3 bedroom someone designed for me and I asked for contributions which you guys responded and the architect was taking the corrections until one stanley000 quoted that I should contact him for a better design. I actually did two nights ago and I’ll share our conversations with you. This @stanley asked me today is I am mad and that he’s my father’s mate all because of 20k design.

He told me to pay 25k for architectural design, structural and mechanical. I told him I could only run around for 20k and he agreed. He later said I should send part of the payment the next day which I agreed but that yesterday I was called the youth cane to my land and stopped people that were digging Fence foundation and I paid 45k. They said youth and Cdc. I didn’t have the money but had to take from my business capital. I explained what happened to him and he didn’t care. This money he called that what is going to happen and I told him I’ve been saying it from day 1 that I didn’t have this money somewhere so he had to be patient. I even said let’s see how today goes because he insist I pay in part of the 20k in advance so later today. I sent him a message that he should pause until I raise the money. He’s yet to deliver the job or anything from him. The guy started raining curses on himself and told me that he’s an edo man and nobody messes with them. Immediately I saw the threatening I had to send the 20k from my business. Hoping that he’d deliver the job. Now his asking me for more 30k to get the same job done. I told him I’d share everything here because I met him here.

I had to quickly use out of my business capital to settle him. Then went straight to pastor’s friend to collect loan because my business would have collapsed. I collect 45k from there yesterday and 20k today minus the money I collected before now but this man is still telling me to give him additional 30k.

Please advice me on what to do because sincerely I don’t know what to say or do at the moment. The same person that couldn’t pause for a while for me to raise the 20k he charged is now advising me to take my start before I start to build. He’s happy I gave him the money but didn’t care where the money came from. It is well.

I had to, Even though the money was part of my business capital but I noticed he really depended on the money because I don’t understand why please pause a little on the job would bring so much insults or curses. Right from day one I’ve been telling him I didn’t have money for such. It is well indeed.
