Where did I imply or suggest that everyone that shares your mindset must be into illegitimacy? You should go back and read my first post on the topic.

You and your crew have repeatedly made it clear that peppering people is the driving intention, anything else is secondary to that. This is not even the first time I’ve seen your post where you said something similar.

We both know our mindsets are worlds apart. Your comments about the female child, of which I am one, makes that double glaring. Here’s a piece of advice - you do you and I will do me. I don’t recall trying to convince you not to build the tallest house in the village so go right ahead while I make my own comments. No need to be triggered

well I will want to correct this notion that you think you know anything about me. While in an ideal world,all children are blessings from God,in an average Igbo community,a family must have a male child. Thank God for adoption because it has reduced the pressure of having a male child. Although some communities will NEVER accept an adopted child as a member of the community and will NEVER inherit a sand from the community unless it's bought and paid for by him or the parents. Example of such places is Enugu ezike. Go and make your findings. Things will change but until then, that's the reality we live in.

What we're discussing here has nothing to do with my personal convictions in this life. I'm just telling you about the society we live in. We don't live in an ideal world and the good and the flaws is what we're discussing.

The difference between us is that while you believe you have the ideal way of living a good life, I on the other hand understands the dynamics of the world we live in.

Life generally has no rules. Where your rights stops is where the next person own begins. Try to respect that without questioning their choices. Whether or not they will suffer the consequences of their choices,let them live it.

You pay tithes because you believe you're helping the church, I don't pay because I know the church is already wealthy. I also understand that the rich will always do what they want with their money and neither you or I have the rights to decide the best way to spend their sweats.

Imran, you have been scammed for real.
This is Wunmi aka @shopclue who has been duping people internationally and married to Carl Allen, a Black American and scammed him too.
You have enter one chance o. But you contact a Lawyer and get an injuction on that her house, or go to her project with Areaboys and remove the whole house roof including the wood.
Damn. I really feel bad for you. She is a serial scammer since 2013.

Hajji M.

I know not everyone likes this but if it the area boy thing is traced to him, his legal case will fail.

He applied self help instead of letting justice run its course.

He who comes to equity should come with clean hands.

In everything apply wisdom.

What makes his matter worse is that his grievance is now a matter of public knowledge as well as your recommendation.

I built one there but few years ago at Isorosi Town still in Ado-Odo LGA. I never see any single Local Govt person on my project o. Never paid such money but only to Omo-Onile that I paid N200k for decking.
But my buildings are also kobo-kobo project o.

I am sure you have your Building Approval? If not, you need one to stop any idiots coming to your project.

Hajji M.

Still working on the approval sir. Will definitely get it done.

KolaShangOne:


As at last year, they don't.

Did you do your building approval? If you did, you have no problems.

Not yet but working on it

Introduction of chicken net is more of a reactive than proactive method of preventing crack on walls

The proactive method involves

1)A good workmanship / supervision

2)Using the right kind of sand

3)Ensuring to remove impurities in sand

4)Getting the right plaster mix

5)Doing a proper foundation to prevent movement / settlement

6)Curing (to replenish excess water evaporation)

——

The only point when introducing chicken net becomes proactive ( is when you introduce it between the joint between your column and wall).

Understood ��

Sir, how can one get building approval "smoothly" in Ogun State? Do you have a sure link?
I heard that the process is very frustrating so I didn't bother.
Even, the Home Owner Charter Scheme that I subscribed to, I didn't receive the CofO till date.

I bless God for the clients I come across here. None of them have owed me a cent. Although one delayed my payment and blocked me on WhatsApp for months. She later came around and paid me

spyder880:
The truth is that if I had more money when I was building my house, I would have built a bigger building, because people expect us to build bigger to accommodate other family members. I am even surprised I am saying this, me, an advocate of financial prudence and someone who saved almost all my salary while working and who invested heavily back then.

But when it comes to building houses, my people dont spare anything to make a statement, especially those who suffered to make their money, especially those who grew up in hardship and the whole family slept in one room for many years, that big building is what will change the narrative, and it stays till I am long gone. I am also interested in my peace of mind while alive, I wont like to be thrown around because theirs no room for me to find solace at old age.

But I must also advice people not to rush into building village homes with investment funds, there are funds that must be invested for residual income before venturing into village retirement homes. Failure to invest before building private retirement homes will lead one to retire early, and sometimes into financial problems.

I don't care if my children maintain the house or even return to it, I care about myself for now, and the statement i made when i can, i care about the unlimited joy i feel whenever i wake up from this village house, because that's the real house i have, others could go but this is where i hope to return to, to die in, to be buried around and maybe to be hovering there afterwards (if there's anything like that)

My father built a house, I left it and built mine, if my children dont build theirs, it's their own concern, not mine. In the place I come from, people periodically bring their children home to the village to show them around. Show them the farms, the streams, the local markets and other village customs.

I will forever support honesty and integrity in all business and in everything in life, I can never support people doing crime either in this country or abroad to build houses in Nigeria.

What a fascinating write up sir.
I love this piece.

somehow:


This is why it's good to build your abode when your children are still young. At least you will get like 15 to 20 years of them staying with you.

To me, if I can't build a family home while they are young, I'd just build a 2 bed bungalow going forward with the hopes that they will come around once a while to visit.

If your children are up to 15 years already before building, it's best you go for something simple and "moderate".

The Oyinbo houses we often copy, check the families that often live in them, their children grow in most of these houses.

Don't build a mansion because you want your children to inherit it when you are also praying they become bigger than you. Afterall, why are you building a mansion for your children if your parents already built one for your according to their taste?

Build because you want to enjoy it and not for them, they will build theirs too when they grow up as long as your prayers is for them to be better than you.

Here's just the simple truth.
Building a house when the kids are very young is the deal, they will get acquainted to one.
I just hate this country whereby a young man wakes in the morning but can't find any tangible job to do.

Sometimes, it's the young people that rejects tangible jobs. I feel there are too many jobs but people are looking for a particular type of job where they work less and get paid higher. That's the problem we have in Nigeria.

I have been trying g with limited success to get all my workers back to all sites this January, can you believe some are still in the villages till now?

Focusmind:


I learnt the lesson from my uncle. Massive 8 bedroom duplex with two bedroom boys quarter. Today, all the kids are in UK, Canada, Copenhagen, Denmark and Ibadan. The house was a beehive of activities in the 90s through the mid 2000 as family members visited in their numbers from the East.
Today, when one talks in the house, it echoes. His two gigantic Listers are packed in the generator's house, unserviceable. The house continue to dilapidate, except when the one that lives in Ibadan comes around, he tries to do some patchy work.
Those abroad don't stay when they come to Nigeria with family. The stay in hotel and visit. The house is no more conducive. The small Gen cannot carry AC .

Hajj, you can still repurpose it at the appropriate time if you want. Nothing spoil. It is still an asset.

We are just in a country that isn't progressing economically.
It would have been suitable for AirBnB services.

not just you. Some of my workers are telling me to relax and enjoy the holidays that I'm a workaholic. I'm just surprised at the lackadaisical attitude of many people. True, Nigeria is a difficult place but many people aren't helping themselves at all

Here's another truth...

Acquainted or not, our children are not coming back home once they leave for University at 16..
Just like most of us never went back..

What we can give our children is Good education and QUALITY TIME (to build everlasting memories)..
[b]Go to Disney world, take them hiking, jump from a plane together [/b]instead of buying and keeping assets they won't need (this doesn't mean you shouldn't keep assets for them)

You can Build a big or small house.. anything you can afford without stressing yourself..

Billionaire Okoya Thomas built an estate and gave his children 1 big house each in it.

After the opening ceremony, all of them went back abroad.

Good points Sir, but I still want to correct an impression, the house I build today is for my enjoyment, that I created rooms in my house for my children is because I need them to stay in their own rooms in their own privacy, and not to come dislodge my placement of my own toys in my own room.

It has nothing to do with what they do when they are all grown, nobody can plan for tomorrow with accuracy, so nobody should keep rooms or houses because you think the grown children will come live in them. It will never match their tastes, and their need for their own privacy.

A house is both an asset and a liability, an asset because the value will always appreciate, whether you maintain it or not. A liability because you need money to pay for the maintenance. Leaving lands or houses for children makes some financial sense, whether they will come back and live there, or sell the houses and invest abroad is their choice, and shouldn't bother me.

I also like your point about building a house you can afford, and that's exactly what I did. I planned to start and complete my village house within 6 months, that it took nearly 2 years was because I left the house to build another thing. No need to stress yourself to build a 100m house if you know it's not feasible because of present realities. Don't build to please others, rather to please yourself, but if others are impressed with my building, I have served as an inspiration to them. Nobody should do crime just to build a house.

Okoya Thomas is a good man, he did what the bible says, it's now the choice of his children to leave an inheritance for their own children too.

Oh my!

In the final analysis we are all adults shaped by different values , backgrounds and exposures . Everybody should do what suits them , what makes them happy and that they can afford and do legally

I do agree however that we are not a prudent country or people . That’s a topic for another day
