A QUICK ONE (THE NEW LASGIDI). An eye opener about *IBEJU LEKKI* *Here's What many did not know about Victoria Island* What if my parents had the insight to buy into Victoria Island back then? Well,....that's a story for another day. Last week Tuesday, I set out for a site inspection of the much talked about *New Lagos - Ibeju Lekki* along with my team, we covered the Ibeju Lekki axis. I marveled at the sight of several of organisations, developments and opportunities springing up there. Few minutes from Eleko Junction, I saw the very popular *Amen Estate* (if you are a follower of Jennifer's Diary, it's the estate used as the major location of the soap opera) which now sells for N12m...right inside Ibeju Lekki. We drove up 2 minutes and we came across *Shoprite's new site (already fenced)* that will serve Ibeju Lekki inhabitants and visitors in few years time. We journeyed up to the massive *Lekki Free Trade Zone* that is stationed to bring international trade closer. Can you see what am seeing? We continued up and we got to *Dangote Refinery* still under construction with lot of activities up already. And another new development is already in place - *the 3 lanes expansion of the expressway has began*. By the way, have you seen the master plan of the smart city development at Ibeju-Lekki? It's a Lagos State Govt. and Dubai deal, signed by Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode. Meanwhile, am not through... Beside Dangote Refinery, we have *Dano milk, Power Oil and Kelloggs* already operating in this our New Lagos. On the other side of the road, we have *Lekki Sea Port* still under construction. As if we've not seen enough, we drove up again until we came across *Oriental Hotel's new site* that will lodge travelers landing at the *new international airport* along the Lekki-Epe Expressway. We visited the natural sea resort destination *La Campaign Tropicana* where you get to appreciate nature at it's finest - a serene resort away from the hustle and bustle of the Lagos city. These are just some of the notable areas within Ibeju Lekki that I came across in just a day visit. There are still lot more top organisations of different sectors that are positioning their sites here in preparation for the big one -*The New Lagos* I hope you can foresee what your property will be worth when you have this top guys as your neighbours and have you thought of the class of people that will also stay here? *That plot of land you get today will appreciate to N60m in no time.* Don't hesitate Remember yesterday it was Ikoyi, Victoria Island, today it is Lekki, Ajah and tomorrow the concentration will be focused on *Ibeju Lekki - The New Lagos.*, do you still think it's far? Smart investors never called *Lekki phase1 or VGC far back then*, ask VP Osinbajo. INVEST NOW IN OUR ESTATES AT REHOBOTH PARKS AND GARDENS IBEJU-LEKKI. Private Chat for the List of Our Estates |

segzy14: My professionals here. Pls what can you say about the quality and durability of these doors. Some say it will fade soon, while others say it is not made of steel and can be burgled easily. Your response will be appreciated.

elengine: Is this a turkey door ? A good turkey door doesn’t fade easily, it is made of steel and can’t be burgled easily. I have installed turkey doors for various projects and they are still fine. |

erico2k2: I have ended this discussion already and would try to resist picking it up further than what i will subtly put. 17 doors paid for, 17 doors supplied in the same value, what money was lost? Matter is not about money lost, it is about orientation, design pattern, colour and dents. If anyone lost money, its the supplier who has to foot extra bills to correct his mistakes. What do we know? We don't even know what actually transpired after the mistake was discovered and we are all here charging up and down. 1 Like 1 Share |

I’m only responding based on my own personal experience. Please note that I’m no professional I got like 7 of these doors in 2016/2017. They claimed they were turkey doors. Even bought it from a big time supplier in the popular Amu market in Lagos As I write, some are still very much okay why the bulk are not. I noticed the areas that had direct encounters with harsh weather are not ( the house plan is one where the roof is tilted to one part, hence a part doesn’t really have any form of roof shade) Issues experience Fading wooden part Handles become brittle and break Bulging from the wooden part areas There were even cases were the door just closing/locking. The locks stopped going into the door lock hole. This was even over 2 years after Installation. So I can’t call it a case of bad installation If I have to do it again, I would go for the one that has all metal finish and most importantly the one that has a base. Not sure it’s the right term but what I’m referring to as base is the door having a portion at the base of the door as against being opened. We had to build some elevated layer just before the door to close the gap between the door and the floor. We had issues of roaches and rain water entering the house through this area.

adanny01: adanny01, I'm really struggling to pin you down to what you are about with regard to this issue. What is/are your intentions really? A mediator? You're failing woefully in this regard. The more you post on this issue, the more you show a screaming lack of knowledge of the building trade and dynamics. If you are a homeowner, your posts on this issue show a shocking lack of empathy to a fellow homeowner, which make me struggle with what you are about. Are you a supplier or contractor? Reading your posts on this issue, I just wonder why you are hell bent in upsetting the client in your careless and reckless choice of words. You alone had a psychedelic definition of "Fraud" which would upset the client; you then went further to call out the client as "over-reacting". In the name of all that is good, the client paid about N700,000 for a set of doors he did not get and you say he is over-reacting? Now you say 17 doors were ordered and 17 doors delivered, so no money lost? What lack of understanding! For starters, do you know that the doors with the wrong orientation can render the architectural design flow of the house useless when doors will not open to the direction of design? For example, imagine where a toilet door due to a wrong orientation will now open outward into a narrow passage instead of safely inward? Do you know the safety implications that would do to kids by opening the door to slam into on coming rushing kids? Is that not a cost? Do you also know that due to the wrong door orientation, the client is now being forced to install the doors in a way the doors may now open into a space designed for maybe settee or shelf, flat screen TV etc and rendering that space useless? To think that the client paid good money for his architectural design which is now being compromised by the wrong kind of doors? Is that not a cost? To help you with more knowledge of the building trade, I will give a practical example of my last project; maybe this will help you with your choice of words going forward or build on your empathy next time: I experienced the same issue as the client but mine was not with the doors, but with the windows. I had a concept I wanted to deliver and the design fixture to go with it. I contacted my then window man face to face with physical samples and we agreed on the design. I paid and came back home to the UK. Couple of weeks later, my engineer sent me the first photos of the windows. I went mad !!!. You would call me over reacting too but I paid N1.3 million for a design concept but was given what I considered a childish, Mickey Mouse patch patch window. I had a right to go mad. To save massively on materials, the window guy unilaterally adopted a design with less material use from available off-cuts in his workshop. You would say casement window na casement window so no money lost abi? I should manage it like that and don't overreact. I had a concept in my mind I want to achieve which has been compromised by the mickey mouse design. Overreact after N1.3 million? In this case, you would advice I subsidise the window man to rectify the issue as you did with the client. Right? Well, I decommissioned the window man, pulled down the Mickey Mouse windows and spent addition N800,000 to go back to the original design concept (see photos). So it is loose talk to "mediate" the client to subsidise any deliberate "mistake" made by the supplier as this can be costly, really costly. So when you take a strong stance (as you are) in matters like this, you need to be very careful, have the facts about you and understanding with a full dose of empathy. If not, you will just make a bad situation worse as you are currently doing. Stop digging. 9 Likes

segzy14: Yes it is a turkey door according to the seller. The price for 3ft is 60k while 4ft is 90k. My concern is that I saw another turkey of the same look and size for like 220k. So I don't know if am just wasting my money to buy the 90k own since it is cheap compared to 220k |

prizequest:perhaps the paint was made of real gold dust. I doubt if the cost of stucco paint is up to half of that amount for even a 100 sqm living room. If he contracts it out to interior decor, it could be high from inflation of cost of paints to the actual quantity needed and their fees but I doubt if it could be stretched that much for a living room only. 2 Likes |
