Absolutely!! without a doubt.
My wife thought I was crazy to trust an absolute stranger, a Nigerian for that matter!! cheesy with an ungodly sum of money not only to deliver but to deliver the agreed numbers and agreed quality or better. on some occassions He upgraded some items they didnt have in stock and left it open for me to choose to pay or not pay for the upgrades.most sellers would downgrade and tell you its the same or not tell you at all. I am a very good judge of character and I study ppl before I even attempt to engage them.

useful recommendations, high end brands, and good after sales relations. some items were damaged during transit and were replaced without plenty grammar. Once most sellers collect Money, you are O-Y-O
I still don't know who this is o grin
thank you for your kind patronage Sir.
I'm happy your wife didn't get to say I told you so

Alcopacetic is simply the best.

Imagine he upgraded some of items I paid for but no more in stock. I went ahead to pay him for upgrade he did today but surprisingly he said I didn't need to.

In contrast, I paid someone to supply some materials to me exactly a week ago and I'm yet to see the items delivered. The person is also on nairaland property section.

Thanks for seamless transactions my Oga with the contemporist taste grin

the last package should be availablee for pickup today by God's grace.

Seems pretty good to me.

1) The guest toilet placement.

2) The window on one bedroom is not opposing for easy ventilation.

But these are small stuff. I like the plan as it has a modern flair to it.

Good luck on yoru project.

Thank you for the kind words. God bless you for your time.

For The bedroom, I plan on relocating the wardrobe and reposition the window.

But for the guest toilet, I don't know what to do. Thanks again.

- Any particular reason why the laundry room on the left hand apartment has it's own exit door to the terrace?

- In that same apartment, the space labelled 'Lobby' will be totally dark when all the doors are closed. I would do away with the bit of wall and door leading to the Laundry room so the Lobby connects directly into the Laundry room with natural light coming in therefrom.

Good luck.

Thanks for you time sir.
I considered that, but putting a door through the kitchen would change the aesthetics of kitchen.

Noted points for the lobby, I'd discuss it with Mr. Engineer.
God bless you. Thank you.

Are you serious, I ve’d had about things like these before. I find it difficult to believe that some contractors will used different users name to seek for materials schedule and other professionals advised. Only to used it for the same contract they are bidding for, with the same persons they are seeking help from. I think is about time to start shaming those dubious characters.

Chief, let's not derail. All what you typed doesn't help in terms of home Security. You don't seem to have the concerns many home owners share. If praying cuts it for you in a s|hit storm where the police can't do anything, good luck bro. Think the police can't be overpowered? Google about race riots in the US and read how peeps were forced to defend themselves.


Ps: which of the many God's comes to save bro?

If you read my initial post which you responded to, wherein l FIRST listed a few things that can mitigate against such attacks...and then CONCLUDED the post with seeking God's protection, you wont have written what you wrote here.

Spot on as usual Daboomb, Don't bother to educate anyone about the existence of God, they are many on Nairaland spewing trash, they are angry against God, they ridicule anything that has got to do with God, Thomas Paine, Volta and several Atheist spoke against God but before they died, some of them recanted all they said, one of them even said the Bible will be a forgotten book but before he died, his house was a printing press where bibles were printed and distributed globally, greater scientists who invented several things that are globally recognized who denounced God but they later repented when they encounterd the Almighty God, so those small chickens spewing trash both offline and online are inconsequential, I read some post here and laugh at the posters, you are erecting a barricade of barriers to protect your small hut, I will not argue with anyone, when jungle mature, you will call on that same God you disrespect, if you like barricade yourself with American and Russian marine, surround yourself with juju and jazz, it is not enough to secure your life in a wicked world we currently live in, like I said yesterday, Except God watches over you, your security gadgets is rubbish, like Obasanjo will say, Na look l dey look, continue to speak against God, you are definitely not a match to your creator cool

Well, we got to say what we gat to say, if they like, they can listen..... its their choice.

Chairman, I'm not confused. I initially thought your post was in isolation. I have seen the others. It's no biggie. I thought you're one overzealous religious person who doesn't take physical precautions and then leaves it all to jesus. Peace.

Thier methods plenty.

the most common is the invitation to the site of a supposed mutli-million Naira estate project somewhere , the MD or CEO of the firm supposedly wants you to come and assess and make recommendations for the kind of materials you will supply. most times outside of lagos. If you fall prey they hold you hostage until they empty your account with your ATM and dispossess you of all valuables in your possession. The criminal trys to sound affluent and important on the phone but often drops the ball, If you listen with your mind .

Another is the sending of fictitious LPO or payment confirmation of some ridiculoius amount of money, for some fictitious LPO, supposedly for items you have supplied them. if you reply thier message enquiring about the email, you''ll probably get an Oh this must be for another supplier. sorry for the mixup....bla bla bla. The idea is to pique your interest and desire to do bussiness with them when you see the millions in question. once they have you on the hook , there are numerous ways the con can play out.
mostly greedy, money anxious or gullible people fall for that . when i know i did not supply any 15 million Naira material to any entity and your're sending me one nonsense payment confirmation email out of the blues.

the list goes on

In a sane clime like both of us know, such a scenario will kick-off a 999 call. So as the robbers are spending valuable time breaching the security, the residents call for help. In the name of all that is good, how much will it take to establish a functional community 999 center, well equipped and well managed.

Again be that as it may, that crime scene is a goldmine for the forensic boys. Take fingerprints, sweat and blood samples, run these through a frequently updated data base and a match might be hit due to the laws of averages and repeat offending.

How much would it take to set up a functional community forensic Lab dear Nigeria? This would also provide employment for forensic science graduates.

Nigeria I hail o!

I used to think like this till I suddenly discovered that the government or law enforcement doesn't know we all exist. While all evidences are there, there are no standards in form of databases to measure these evidences against.
Thank God they are building a national identity database now, maybe that will help. Otherwise for now, the only evidence that is reliable is catching them red handed. In fact having a video evidence doesn't help in most cases.
God will help out country
