@mayor78

Congratulations on this massive edifice you're putting up for yourself and the family. Like my people here will say. "Good on ya" you've done very well my oga just like the Calabor borehole guy kept addressing you like. God will surely finish it off amen.

Building materials are imported. Currency fluctuations will affect the prices.

Labor is local. High cost of building materials will result in fewer available jobs.

Workers will cut their prices to be competitive.

Rather make 70% of something than 100% of nothing

Hope you understand

Any update?

Mayor78:

I think it makes a lot of sense to observe reduced cost in labour. But labour is not the only building material that is local. Wood is local yet the prices have gone up irrespective of supposed low demand due to reduced projects.
How can the increase in cost of wood and other local building materials be explained in the context of demand and supply relationship?
I was thinking that low demand in the midst of steady supply of these local building materials will result in reduction in price to show that demand has effect on price, but that isn't the case. What is at play here?

Mayor78:
Wealth transfer; It really gives joy to see that the little cash one scratches from the abundance of wealth stashed here in the Western part of the World reaches the interior villages that populate the forgotten poor.

That was why I always insist that where practicable, Abdulwastecx should use the locals from my village.

The importance of a N1,500 /day earned as a mason servant for a responsible father cannot be underestimated in the upkeep of a family especially during this period of new school term in a country where primary education is not completely free even in state schools.

Who knows if a med doctor or nurse can be raised from such wealth transfer to become my GP on retirement.

Building in the village using locals is both an investment to self and to the local community for those that shares the value of common humanity.

I pray to continue to have the means to be of value to my local community.
