Quick question for the builders in the house, how are the toilet seats anchored to the floor? Cement on the bottom? Gum?
The toilet seat is usually screwed to the floor on both sides, before being sealed with silicone or acryll

Linda ikeji bought a property their and I think different online and print media reported that it cost between 700 million to 1 billion Naira.

I am not beefing her but I will not have a second thought putting that kind of money in banana island, what l value and cherish most in life is security / safety, basic infrastructures like power , water and good road network, my ability to take a walk of 2 or 3 hours whether midnight or anytime of the day without the fear of been mobbed or robbed and if I find that kind of environment in Bahamas, Barbados, Antigua or Monaco, I am fine with it than buy a property in Asokoro close to the villa and be trailed by hungry and envious hoodlums kidnapped or robbed.

Security of lives is my first priority anywhere in the world, in Nigeria you need Opc, tall gates and walls like the Berlin Wall, armed police men, Angel Michael,
Holy Ghost fire, Koranic verses, voodoo or juju, German Shepherd etc to secure your life and it cost money to provide all this and even at that, you can still get killed despite all your security apparatus surrounding you and the police might not be able to fish out the killers sad

l concur, the Berlin Wall of security, dogs, juju etc people do in Nigeria sometimes do fail, some bad boys go with tools, break down the so called walls, cut off the electric fence, shoot your dog with a silence pistol, and you might be deep in sleep, before you say Jack robbinson, they have encircled you and your entire house hold, is either you co_ operate, give them what they want or be ready to be sent to the great beyond.

I don't blame people who go on a very low profile in Nigeria to avoid been robbed, in other news, Evans the kidnapper lived in a secured estate at Magodo and yet all the residents never knew that they were living with a violent cobra until he was smoked out via top-level GSM controlled gadgets by IGP crack team grin

I like those buildings but I think the buildings need to be painted correctly(White ,Grey and peach color give a contemporary look , and flat roofs would give them a more modern look too.

The place is all set ,all else it needs is just a few modifications to improve upon the existing , include 6 ft sidewalks on all the roads. markings and traffic sign . that's the difference between that place and Japan,Sweden,US, Australia, Canada etc.
This is lovely, but can we maintain it?

1. What's the likely cost of fitting a small elevator (say 1.2 metres sq) in a house with 5 floors in Nigeria?

2. Which are the leading companies in elevator installation and maintenance in Nigeria?

I just want to understand why the use of elevators is not widespread in the country.


I think the reason is because of lack of constant electricity and no no indigenous company that manufactures it that no technical knowledge of it currently

Okay sir, we have comprehended. You feel unsafe in Nigeria. It is a shithole, you are not safe and life is worthless in Nigeria.

Kindly sir, I beseech of you, leave this matter. We have heard you. Some of us currently live in the west and still desire for personal reasons to live in the country you despise so much- with all the faults, and as it is. Kindly remember that indeed, whilst you have a voice and a right to your belief, many of us on this page are individuals who actually do live, or have a desire to reside in Nigeria. You are not doing anything wrong, but your message has been heard. No need for the overkill. Just let it be sir. May Dubai grow your investments, and America and even Bermuda. Enough of the castigation of Nigeria. You are singing hollow now. Please leave it.
