That's because pride of workmanship is mostly lacking now in Nigeria.

In need of quick cash to meet pressing needs? Maybe to pay school fees, house rent or to start a business etc. Call 0 9 0 8 7 0 9 0 7 3 2 for fast access to cash without collateral. Get cash within 48hrs! It's reliable and flexible

I wish Lagos state can plan communal water system too to prevent all this indiscriminate drilling of boreholes. Also most house owners in lagos cant afford to go for deep boreholes as the price could be outrageous....deep boreholes in Lagos ranges from as low as 450k to as high as 5m whereas you can get a shallow borehole for very low prices around 80k to 120k.

A lot of houses I know with amoured security doors that have been robbed, ended up being burgled with the rubbers breaking the walls beside the doors with a cheap sledge hammer, or simply driving in behind the home owner.

All this security is just to discourage those ones looking for soft target.

Just thinking out loud shaa...

You are absolutely correct!
Except you are armed with some Pump-Action and unlimited armo ANYONE can be robbed in their home by a determined and seasoned group of Armed Robbers.

You actually can categorise Robbers into three groups:
1.) The seasoned ones, usually hired Killers/Assassins: These ones are not here to steal your personal effects (and since your home is not a bank vault), they have just come to kill you, at home (for effects, as they could do it elsewhere!). Walls and Gates and all that shyte is ineffective against them. they would shoot your Dogs if they make as much as a whimper. Bullets is not scarce with these types and they come prepared (generator, iron cutter and all the tools).
Your only chance is if you are well-armed too but these types of robbers are not common because they go for specific jobs and the pay-out is not small change.

2.) The organised Armed robbers looking to make big money: These ones are looking for pay-dirt, jewelries, cash kept at home, even luxury vehicles. They usually act on information that you have "something valuable at home", most likely from some lose-tongue associate (Cooks, Cleaners, Gate-man, business colleagues,friends and family members).
They watch and survey your movements for sometime before trying to gain entry. Most would tail you and follow you as you drive-in or drive-out. Some would follow your guests/children to gain "easy access" or just put a gun to your head and ask you to lead them in.
They dont have unlimited armo so they dont/cant waste bullets. When they muster enough fire power, they would rather rob a bank/bullion van, than rob an individual home but we also know that some homes are 'richer' than a bank's vault!

Whether you have a high fence or short one makes no difference for them to gain entrance BUT a see-through one could assist you to raise alarm as people can observe what is going-on inside and may notice "unusual activity" thus leading to raising an alarm.
because they are 'short' on armo, they dont want a prolonged shoot-out (if police or armed-help eventually comes .....I said "armed help" because you cannot always rely on the Police to arrive on-time but in some areas, almost everyone owns at least one gun and Home owners have a coded distress-call which makes everyone to "shoot at anything that is unknown but moving"! Its a sort of community alert).
So, see-through fence has it advantages over high -fence (with the disadvantage of "lack of complete privacy). but very determined thieves of the first category are not bothered with your high fence.

3.) The 'local Robbers': These are usually 'cult groups" within that area. Boys who band together to do 'jobs' because they need money. They are opportunistic in nature. they just look for the 'weakest house' (security-wise), that can provide the highest 'reward' for their effort.
usually, they dont have more than a few/five bullets and two guns at most. These are the types that scale your fence to rob you!
These types are afraid of a fierce Dog or group of Dogs.
if your fence is too high or is electrified, these types will just avoid you and go to the next house
These types dont ever try rob certain neighbourhoods because they know they will likely not come out alive.
But they are the most prevalent because they dont need much effort to get away with it.

All-in-all, your "security" has to be viewed from the point of 'the sort of threat' you face or are likely to face.
In some areas/situation, Dogs would help raise the alarm when yo are not aware (maybe sleeping), if the robbers have not shot them or poisoned them first.
In some areas/situation, High, electrified fence and Dogs would deter most of the threats you could face but not all.
See-through fence is good in high-density areas and it contributes to "collective security" though the lack of privacy is a draw-back but in such places, that is the least of your worry.

One thing l think everyone should have, irrespective of the kind of threat you may face, is a CCTV system, a robust one...... not the package ones that are common in our environment.
Good & Sturdy Cameras, Remote monitoring, Remote alarm, Remote storage, PIRS, Motion detectors, e.t.c

The thing is when the Robbery is done and concluded, you should be sure that the perpetrators would be caught and dealt with, by the law courts or through personal vengeance.... when you have the video evidence.
I hate it when they get away, scott-free! That really annoys me a lot
It can also deter those opportunistic, "local ones" because they know they will be caught and you can even monitor your surroundings from a distance so that the "follow-enter" types are neutralised because you would have seen them "hanging around".
I hope we all remember how Funsho Williams was killed at his Osborne Road Residence, by people waiting for him in his Bedroom?

Finally, the greatest security (IMO) is from God alone.
If "your hands are clean", there is a very high chance that you would not fall prey to the opportunistic rogues and when/if you do, with certain precautions taken initially, "heavens will help those who have helped themselves".

But all this is just by the way. One would die, when one would die and there is no need to fret.

Wow !!! Brilliant and well articulated with several useful tips

EgunMogaji:


That or a leak.

Or maybe we need to investigate the diet your dad has you kids on

AngelicBeing:


Wow !!! Brilliant and well articulated with several useful tips

kopell:
That because everybody want to be rich overnight, Na him be the biggest problem of our country today. At least everyone don see waiting seed of corruption way they plant reap now.

EgunMogaji:


That's because pride of workmanship is mostly lacking now in Nigeria.

EgunMogaji:


Yeah, the ultimate solution is waste treatment facility. Any individual scheme that still leaves any "flow" into the soil is ultimately still half a solution.

Treating water at home in Nigeria is critical. I'm not at a stage yet to investigate that but I'm sure that there companies providing these setups in Nigeria.

What happened in Flint, USA was an eye opener.

abdulwastecx:


That is because society treat artisan poorly.
When people get paid adequately, they give their all

abdulwastecx:


Waste treatment plant is the way to go. What he demonstrated above still pollute the soil.

Having a central sewage treatment plant will find in a long way to help solve problem of underground water, river and open water contamination

Hello, Can someone tell me the current price of this barb wire. Sample picture attached.
I am planning to buy 12 bundles for standard plot 120/60.

l didn't use any in my build in Nigeria, contact spyder880, (Hajj Mufutau55 & Egunmogaji ) both of them are the Chairmen planning committee of Donald Trump inauguration and also CEO of Nairaland property section, they will point you to the right direction and where to get it cheap

EgunMogaji:


Can I buy you a beer?

It's elementary that any system that still polluted the ground is like putting lipstick on a pig.

FastShipping:


It is the other way around in the US. We paint here before neatly tiling the floor.

diordaves:


Yes! Waste treatment plant is absolutely the way to go. I agree. But we (Nigeria) don't have anything of such and probably will not have it for a considerable length of time. In the meantime what do we do ? stop the current system and adopt International standard championed by the United Nations. UN? yes UN. See below pictorial depiction of wastewater treatment processes. In ALL the processes please notice the role of the natural soil in the filtration (treatment) process. A greater percentage of the water we drink abroad is treated shyte water.

Treating your household waste as I've tried to bring to our notice DOES NOT contaminate the soil, it is using the soil to treat it just as the soil will treat mud water (portor portor) after the rains. Natural soil water treatment is the reverse process of evaporation. Look at the photos below, you will notice that wastewater is treated in larger scale just like the two chamber septic system. Same science. Lets not fall prey to conscious illiteracy just to win a non argument. The current septic system in Nigeria is NOT working; help champion this.

More Plastering and Plumbing work

EgunMogaji:


Dude, you're not seriously going to start comparing your little home project with a commercial scheme are you?

There's nothing here to champion except polished turd.

mank1234:
The H-pipe is not supposed to be closed at the top. If it's closed, when liquid in the first and second chamber reach the horizontal of the H-pipe, liquid will fail to flow into the second chamber as trapped air in the H-pipe won't be able to escape.

The pictorial representation at draindomain.com might appear to be covered but in reality it is not. I followed their approach too with a slight modification.

diordaves:


This is what I've been saying all along and probably this is what your small brother kicked against about your planned septic build..........the turd needs to be polished minimum twice over. Failure to do so is harming lives. How difficult is that to understand. It's not rock science really.
