lol, buhari son knows better, with his power bike, may God continue to protect us, i drove power bike with a pilot from lekki to Port Harcourt before base on urgent needs by a client, he only gave me 4 hours to get to port Harcourt from Lekki, it was a risk, but i took it, me and the pilot are both on helmet and guard wares, we made it and get back to lagos same day, it was a document of his land i need to help him collect from his lawyer and bring to him, he can't avoid flight but needed the documents urgently, but note this, 4 legs is better than two legs, if it not human being that is using the 2 legs to walk. anything mechanically constructed to service humanity, 4 legs is better than 2 legs.


Are you saying you made it in 4 hours?

in Ogun state along lagos ibadan expressway 10 years ago a piece is been sold for 800 900 but now 10m
Simple reason for that, speculation and corrupt money everywhere, people think they are making progress. Imagine how could houses is more expensive in Lagos, Abuja and others big cities in Nigeria then UK, USA, Europe, Asia. Nigeria is the only Country on earth where prices of house triple in less the 10 years mid develop areas, with no any mini full economic growth.

An average single family house 3-4 bedroom in US average neighborhood is about $350k. That is about about #175M (@$1-#500). This amount can build 3 solid 4 bedroom duplexes in most developing neighborhoods in Nigeria.

It’s depends on location, one thing that is clear most houses in the west unban areas are build over 50 -60 more years ago. Average two family home is still affordable to buy at $300k on montage. Compare to ordinary land that’s are selling in Lagos, Abuja and others places for 120m with no light, no central sewage, no central water system.

My brother, which city or State will 175m build one 3 solid 4 bedrooms duplexes. In Lagos I can tell you this for free, even the so called government houses that they claim is affordable in average neighborhood like Lekki, Oniru, that where recently sold. 3 bedrooms flat are sold for 75 - 95m. I couldn’t afford one, people already paid 70% upfront 3 years earlier before on block is lay on the site. So please tell me doses that translates to our economy reality. imagine that.

₦120m house anywhere in Nigeria can't be ordinary sir.

A 2 family home should consist of what and what sir?

Average house in Lagos that I know is between ₦40 million and ₦80m. (They range between semi duplex to detached duplex of a minimum of 3 beds).

Bungalows are between ₦25m to ₦60m.

An average $300K House of 2 family in America is ₦156,000,000. (₦156m using ₦520/$1)

The amount above will get you above average house in Nigeria.

Annual property tax on that $300k House in America will pay your power and other things within the same time frame.

There's no way on earth an average house in Lagos or houses in Nigeria is more expensive than the US, UK and their like.

No, they're between ₦60m and ₦75m the last time I asked and these are the semi-detached wings. The apartments are a bit cheaper.

It’s depends on location of the building, trust me most houses sold are base on speculation. Just 3 months ago someone is offering his 2 number 2 bedrooms and small room shanty house on 385sqm land in Ilupeju for 120m. I can assure you those people with a lose money through corruption will buy that building.

I could sense your feelings of nostalgia. Zaria hasn't changed much save for some few developments especially roads and new buildings. ABU, Aviation school, NMS, Army Depot are still there. Railways, still there but better be described as moribund unlike in your days when it was the major means of transportation. NTC (Nigerian Tobacco Company) was changed to BATC (British American Tobacco Company) and later closed down, what goes on there is rice milling operations. Your Cadbury and John Holt situated at Chikaji industrial estate are now used as warehouses for grains.
It's not a bad idea if you can still pay the city a visit at least once more in your life time just to relive old memories.

There are average house or land in Nigeria that worth more than #120m, have you ever heard of a popular location at Abuja called maitama. Duplex in that area worth hundreds of millions, some billions. I could remember a 7 bedroom duplex we built for a client there years ago was recently sold for #850m ($1.7m).

Any land worth 120m is not average.

Don't we know the meaning of average again?

So how can a house worth 850m be tagged average?

Oga bosun you have been here Solving issues … why can’t you handle this in civil way? Things should degenerate to this level at all… call your client have a meeting with him schedule a payment plan and keep to it….



Unfortunately you can’t be an umpire in your own game.

How much refund are we looking and what exactly constitute the figures? That’s exactly what I’m still trying to wrap my head around in the past weeks.

Is it how I’m expected to refund 280 naira per block when I sold blocks at 200 naira per blocks throughout the lifetime of the project even when others are paying 250 naira and above?

Or how I’m expected to pay N3,800 per bag of cement when I have a fixed price contract sum pegged at N3,000 per bag of cement?

Or how I’m expected to value a 10sqm security house at almost the same amount as a 400sqm fence with 600mm raft, 22 columns and block wall?

This is far bigger than me hence the reason for my long silence on this matter.

None to the best of my knowledge if your roof is well constructed and watertight.

Heat and noise won’t be an issue if you do POP Ceiling.
