This is one the reasons I said some clients like to play god. It's quite easy to shout someone is fraudulent but now that it's all sorted out he is telling the one assisting in sorting out the issue that he never sent you......



So why in the first instance did you come here to cry fraud.....

All this DC and Marvel studios people inside NL.

Let’s give baba Cribking1 benefit of doubt sir. No one wan die na. Na the area all the Hausa vs Yoruba ethnic crisis dey burst.

Omo olómo là nrán nísé dé t’òrutòru (literarily means It’s another person child we send on late night errand). Toto se bi owe eyin agba.
I hope I got the translation though grin grin

I believe 48 hours is not too short to go and confirm where baba put his N1,369,750. We will patiently wait for the confirmation and retraction of the false allegation of fraud.

Two things here - respect and patience - are virtues of a matured mind.

That's a typical DIY budget bungalow.

It's not recommended, but it stands ( correlating with similar structures of over 20 years old)

DIY because the planning and supervision is usually done by either owner or his relatives and or any artisan/ recommended bricklayer and the building plan ( if it exits) is usually not stamped by a structural engineer.

The overriding criterion is cost. The sandcrete blocks are load bearing. As long as the soil/foundation can bear the load, there will not be a problem. If there is any differential settlement, cracks will surely develop on the walls. It is usually hoped that if the cracks show up, the lintel "chain" should mitigate it from widening. They shaa added columns at some corners where the land was "somehow"

It’s not my place to critique someone’s pride and joy but every time I see this fancy roof types on affordable homes I wonder.

As a veteran DIY car enthusiast,
What do you say when you see a pimped out old camry LE with chrome rims, pretty low profile tyres, custom hid headlights, front glass tint, android radio unit, headrest dvd player, fancy double exhaust mufflers, blue and red flashing lights on front grille cool.

Keyword is "pride and joy"

This is not how to do it sir. You need a structural drawing to be able to estimate the quantity of iron rods needed and where they're needed.

Update:

Why has mountmoriah not shown up here to tell us his own side of the story blah blah?

Attached is the screenshot of his nairaland profile. He was banned by a moderator for derailing a thread. undecided

Imagine I didn’t step in to update this platform on the progress made so far...

Values are promoted by what we do, not what we talk about.

I'm a novice with nairaland's modus operandi, but i guess the ban came off quite early. No longer February 20 smiley

Truly, I was a novice. Clarification and enlightenment has been provided by N3xt below.

You're right on the bolded. When you're banned on nairaland, it's only you that see the ban status. Other viewers can still see your profile and the last time you were online. However, you won't be able to comment, modify or like posts.

I hope you get it now. He's on one month ban from January 20 to February 20. Nairaland admin and mods can't deny this. Check his last post.

Remember to thank me sha for sharing knowledge. grin grin I hope you'd go back and clear your last post once you verify my irrefutable claim.

Been following your thought process with @skimanski
My own opinion here..

I think what mechanization does is to Increase Efficiency, reduce cost of labour in the LONG RUN, reduce safety risk

Basically, in terms of comparative cost, machines are better. But
you have to consider project size, economy, client and price of labour just like @skimanski said.

-These machines cost ALOT to buy and maintain
-They need trained professionals to operate them at a cost.

You cannot expect me to move into a site with equipments running into millions of naira into a site where the BABA IJEBU wants to pay so low.

Oga @ericko2k2 and other people living in the diaspora, you know that Technicians charge you per hour, right? Convert that 50-100$ per hour to Naira and I know damn well you can't pay it here..

For the example of a tiler, you expect a Nigerian tiler who has taken pain to buy a laser lever, a spirit level or some other expensive machine and then price him at 200 per sqm and expect a flawless job. But there will always be someone else to do it for cheaper and that's what you get with fallen parapets n so on.. What you pay for is what you get.

I have experience in Robotics and Automation. When experts are flown in, they spend 2hrs on the machine, take 5 hours to smoke in the open and they are done with work for that day taking home 7hours pay.

We know it's hard to make those dollars in the West but the way we expect things to work here while condemning our underpaid artisans is bad.

The DIY process is actually the way forward. It will save you lots of cost
this is so apt. Anytime you're in Nnewi, I go buy you drinks

It has been a very long time.

Arena is more like a civilized market in Lagos state. Maybe because of the armies sha grin


Let me help you with a contact in Arena.

Call Daniel 0703 946 0321 and send him the picture of what you want so that he can help you check it in the tools section.

He’s in the market and I’ve transacted lot of business through him without leaving my house. He’ll gladly do it for a token. I hope he’s able to get it though.
Good evening sir,
I met Daniel at the market. Very energetic and nice dude.
Unfortunately we couldn't get what I was looking for. Most of what they had were portable drilling machines.
If there is any other way I could get it without shipping from Aliexpress.
Thank you once again.
