Having a roof over your head is actually not an investment because you are not going to be earning from such.

And yes, investing your fund into real estate is an investment and way better than banking that same fund.

In Nigeria because we mostly don't do mortgage, we build cash from savings, a roof over your head is an investment. You stop paying rent with the house appreciating in value if maintained periodically. You may not be getting immediate cash. Think about it as a pension fund.

If you are paying funds into a pension fund in lieu of when you retire, is that an investment as you are not earning immediately from it ? Of course it is an investment.

Were you expecting leaks on a new roof? See it would not have cost you or the client anything to have that pattern right. But you did it the wrong way, of which you have refused to accept criticism.

See, if you like curse me till tomorrow, I will still point out your mistake in your face.

S/he who is into land banking.

Have some liquid cash in the bank for everyday running cost and for the raining day. Anything above this, bank it in land. In Nigeria, if you buy wisely, land banking interest rate is higher than brick and mortar bank.

With land, you buy to wait. You don't wait to buy or else you will buy at the upper end.

With water tower, you harvest gravity to give you good water pressure.

With solar, you harvest the sun energy to give you electricity.

With land, you harvest TIME to give you cash. This is what is meant by TIME na MONEY.

Advice my grandma gave me.


I thank my clients who trust me with their land banking needs.

Immediately I saw your message, I had to rush back and check the pictures vis-a-vis the issue raised and also conduct a nairaland search using the keywords “nairaland shingle patches”

Guess what? Most of the installs I saw aren’t different from the pic shared.

To be honest with you, I’ve not used shingles with patches before on any of my installs and I really don’t pay attention to the patterns or then designs. But raising this issue tonight, I decided in the last few minutes to study the design and understand why the misalignment.

Is it as a result of bad installation? Or doing all the installer can do to minimize wastage?

Let me continue on part 3 grin

That you stopped paying rent does not make it an investment sir.

Is owing a private car for no better example an investment afterall it will stop you from paying to take public bus?

If you understand deeply the meaning of investment, you'd know that what you buy/build/own for personal consumption can't be said to be an investment except you plan to sell it from the get go.

That it looks like an 'investment' does not make it an investment.

Would anyone here be happy to have a straight white line and use extra 50sqm of materials while trying to achieve symmetry or alignment?

I’m sure the bigger ogas in the house can afford to do that but definitely not my firiend who said he does not have mb to post pics yesternight. grin grin

Unless the roofs are made to exact measurement of the shingles, I doubt there can be a perfect alignment of the patterns.

Please don’t take me too serious on this. I joke too much sometimes.

Except the owner of the project is happy to sacrifice extra 50sqm to achieve a perfect alignment of the sheets, I think the installer is not really at fault here. It’s more of a design error.

A perfect solution would have been to have special designs for the valley points, the hip and joints of the roof especially areas where the materials will be trimmed off.

Without this, a 100sqm roof will require about 120sqm of shingles to get perfect alignment.

Having a roof over your head in this context means owning your own home... This is an investment as you would not be oblidged to pay your landlord yearly.

Yes chief, if you build to collect rent or even sell, you've invested and an investor in real estate.

That is why I said except you are building for rentage, lease or outright sale, having a personal roof over your head can't be an investment in its true sense.
