Thank you bros for full record detailed cost of this project, I hope every one can see for them selves. For those of you that don't know cost nail and giving numbers of building cost. Over 11million has being spent since 2014 when this project started, he has not gotten to roofing, electrical cables accessories, plumbing wares and tailing yet Oooo. Guys don't be discouraged though, a journey of 100 years start with a step. You can do same if you pray and set your priority straight.

chairman while you're making a lot of sense, the truth still remains that this is a massive project done without compromise, many three and two bedroom bungalows have been built for a lesser amount, the concrete fascia(parapet) on that house alone would cost more than two plots of land in most parts of Nigeria.

desiji:
gh

please what's the total cost so far? Godspeed in your endeavour.

EgunMogaji:
As long as I have this view I'm okay.

I'm retiring to Nigeria to further my hobbies. If I was returning to be a socialite then it'll be different.

with such a beautiful view, consider adding some sort of penthouse in the future to take better use of the view, just a small structure to chill in while watching whatever is happening in the city down below, won't have to be expensive, your earlier post was a classic.

nma24:
hmmmm.... I wouldn't b surprised if those pests are trying to migrate to this side to avoid the famine...

actually they are, the north is experiencing high rate of Desertification, likewise other Hausa speaking countries like Niger, Chad, mali etc, this countries are also awash with high quality guns mostly obtained from the Libya. this supplies an endless army of Fulani mercenaries to wage the jihad. believe it or not, the Fulani herdsmen waging attacks are mostly mercenaries hired by the Fulani that graze cattle.

nma24:
Northern Nigeria will experience such famine and not the lush Eastern part of Nigeria biko

the east would experience famine and worst if your governors don't do something about Fulani herdsmen.

giles14:
famine no famine dat no consine me as long it is confined to d north I don't care.


wen person prick no go rest marry 3wives dey get around 25+ children hw famine no go come

you're making too much sense, you forgot to add no education and skills because they think education is too much stress and haram（forbidden）.

Essens:
420+350=760?

i also observed the arithmetic error, this is not the first time that woman is making a very silly arithmetic error, she's totally unfit for that post.

you would make a far better opposition spokesperson than lai Mohammed or olisa metuh

franciskaine:
Can this institution keep quiet and save us this unnecessary hoopla, we know the economy is down and need no further exaggerated figures to prove this. This was how this same NBS keeps dishing out favorable statistics on the GEJ administration which all came to become paper economics devoid of reality.

your post is baseless, NBS is a government owned institution, if they falsify figures, other research institutes like the world bank would publish their own to rubbish their reputation.

a well written piece.

freshvine:
This one won't go through judgment. Satan got his back on speed dial

don't judge so you won't be judged.

latonyn:
Pls fellow nairalanders, assist me with a breakdown of cost estimate to build a 4 bedroom flat from start to finish

any breakdown would be highly misleading without a building plan.

Baby Boy
I gat to give it to you sweetie.. your writing makes my couchie wet, as in , you write so well that I daydream about you Even when you say you are a soldier, I see myself being pinned down and bleeped mercilessly.. when you say you are a pastor or doctor, I see well manicured fingers doing magic in my konko below; Don't stop writing Baby Lastpage..

Btw, ain't you the same with excuzeme ??... And if you are the same, there's a name for that condition and what would that be_________

I still Love you thou

nna men, odikwa egwu bia dikwa sexy. i hail o

Babayoutoomuch:
Pls with ALL sincerity Kindly tell me which is better BUNGALOW or DUPLEX? The problem is not d money mind you. I'm just confused.Kindly help out if you can, its a decision I need to make as soon as possible. Thanks.

the best answer depends on your lifestyle, for example, a retirement home for an old couple might be better off been a bungalow for the sake of avoiding old people from climbing stairs, however for a younger couple, a duplex offers many advantages like better view,more prestige,,better management of available land, more privacy for the occupants etc.

CrazyQuinn:
If you are fed up, just accept their flaws

my dear some flaws are not just acceptable. I'm in a similar position as the op,most Nigerian girls are not serious with their lives.

akeensbussy:
You are very right.....

please send the floor plan to greenermodels@gmail.com. I'm always looking for where to borrow ideas from, thanks in advance.

GossipHeart:
I want to buy a 30 million house in Lagos but the problem i have is that i don't like Lagos state

I love living in Anambra state, can someone give me a rough estimate on how much this type of house would cost me if i want to build one in Anambra state

that's a big house, I'll handle it for 20million with basic finishing in anambra.

fragrance2:
I don't mind o. Will send u a pm, thanks

greenermodels@gmail.com. thanks in advance for the building plan.

olumide4christ:
Thank God you used the word 'seems'. Pls @bobbyunitedfc, don't assume. A land may seem solid enough but a soil test may prove otherwise. If not, why would @Segcymoor be constructing 72 piles for a residential building located behind the Apostolic Church at Alapere in his new thread? The land is not waterlogged or swampy. They must have done a soil test that advised them to do pile & not even raft. Who has money to spend on pile foundation in this change era unless its very necessary
To be sure, do a soil test. If you don't have money for a soil test, then simply construct your columns (pillars) to reinforce your bungalow.
The question I would like to ask is - how would lintels reinforce a building and transmit the roof load to the ground without pillars? Whoever is saying that seems not to understand much about buildings.
Wishing you Godspeed as you continue your projects.

the lintels transmits the weight to the weight bearing walls, pillars are good but not necessary in bungalows, this idea of building bungalows with pillars have it's origin in building for hazard prone areas (earthquakes, strong winds like hurricanes and tornadoes) and we don't have those in Nigeria.

slyd90:
until igbo parents stop demanding huge bride price....

why tribalise this beautiful thread? only if you know how costly it's to marry in many tribes of the north.

orieoda:
O boy u make sense for this talk o......d only thing that spoilt what u said is Nigerian women.....u should have said some Nigerian ladies or most Nigerian ladies

i have modified it, thanks for the respectful correction.

orieoda:
Lol .....don't forget to give him your address too o in case u could boost his moral and ginger his swagger

your user name means something very funny in igbo language.

guente02:
In my mid twenties and yet I'm to get laid and most importantly not desperate as I'm more concerned hw my life would look like in a few years and painstakingly putting in hrs to that effect and thats why i see 'em as so.

work hard and make your money then you can buy yourself a beautiful trophy wife to show around.most Nigerian women are becoming properties to be acquired just like a nice looking pet dog.

KingCheezyPuff:
[color=#00cccc]well,I really don't understand why yer single then?
There are look ads of women who fit what yer lookin' for.
••••••
Have a job ....check!
Unless there is a certain occupation/ salary she has 2 be making before you will have her.[/color]

no particular job or salary but i would really love to marry a teacher. my new year resolution for next year is to be more outgoing, I'm really a hardcore introvert that spends all his time indoors reading books like engineering mathematics, architecture, form and space etc, core science stuffs.

guente02:
How can someone be alive and not align his/her future from the get go. Its quite frankly annoying.
I only see these girls as s3x object and nothing more because for the most part they've never proved to me as people that'll give me enough joy to propel me further in life and them bringing anything other than thier juice box and fun bags is just another far cry.

i don't even treat them as sex objects, any girl that is not serious with her life doesn't have anything doing around me. i only treated them as sex objects during the initial part of my university days when i was desperate to get laid.

KingCheezyPuff:
[color=#9999ff] is that the answer ? Ok
•••••••
I see you want 2 waste yer years before you
wake up 2 the reality there is no perfect human.
.......yer life though!
••••••••[/color]
[color=#0099ff]Don't listen ta iprevail
•••••
Both of you need 2 get realistic with yer demands for near perfection from a woman
If you 2 keep on like this.
You'll have 2 "get clay and mold her"
[/color]

I'm not asking for perfection, all i ask of is decency in her desires and effort in life. nobody wants to marry an economic liability,if i tell you my life story, you would understand that I'm what I'm today by been humble, thrifty, hardworking and taking pride in my work regardless of what ever it is,i need a woman that would complement and support me not the one that would be telling me that the latest iPhone7 is out and she needs it ASAP. any woman i would marry must have a job or a business or capable of running atleast a provisions store if given the capital,is that too much to ask nne m?

guente02:
So how should one go?
Because I don't know how to keep a girl that is not industrious, enterprising and zero bar intellectually. It's just so lame when a guy is in it for the pussie and d girl for the money and that's all, take this variables away from the pic and there's no picture.

unfortunately most girls are like that,I'm currently scoping another girl to learn handwork without success, they just want to stay at home doing nothing or playing runs girls in campus, most of them can't even bend down and manage a business except the over aged ones, i really want to marry a lady that is less than 30yrs of age to avoid fertility issues but most around are just not serious with their lives.

Dejiih001:
Thanks for this, I've been considering this factor too, only wants to know some other beneficial factors of building one from scratch when compared with buying

they are other benefits apart from financial,1)you build the house to your desired strength, believe me,the walls on some houses are so weak that you can't nail anything into them due to the poor strength of the building blocks used 2) you design the floor plan to suit your lifestyle, most commercial properties would be designed as all bedroom en suite to cater for all tastes but if you design your own floor plan, you would actually go for what you need not what is on offer.

iPrevail:
You marry na

Marry a girl that wants what you want and loves what you love sha. Not necessarily an introvert.

how many female bookworms do you know? how many are interested in pursuing any profitable venture worth putting in a great deal of effort? most serious ladies seems to be the overaged,used and discarded types, I'm tired of been a motivational speaker to ladies who should have known better.

Dejiih001:
I intends relocating to Lagos, Ibeju-Lekki area to be precise and after series of consultations I was made to understand that a standard house/apartment in that area will cost me around #40 Millions.

But I wish to know if building a house myself from scratch will still cost as much as that or its just advisable I buy one straight or how possible can I possibly spend less to achieve this purpose?

I will greatly appreciate all your professional advises.

CC: Lalasticlala, Lawyer, Mynd44

on average, building a house yourself is cheaper because the person trying to sell to you is trying to make a nice profit, you would eliminate this by building yourself.

iPrevail:
I'm single because I live in an uncivilized society where females..

1. Contribute almost nothing to a relationship but expect everything.

2. Think having sex with a guy means doing him a big favor.

3. Think being a gf is an actual job where they expect to get paid.

4. Are so emotionally unreliable. Especially where money is a factor.

5. Are not very smart.

6. Don't know how to play console games and hate soccer.

Should I go on?

best summary ever, I'm an introvert bookworm who tend to achieve more in life when alone than when in a relationship but my parents are really getting on my nerves to marry for some years now.

. Na wa Oh

a married man that works as a driver for a construction company just left her room a few minutes ago, i have decided right now that i would stop her from coming to my apartment henceforth but in a graceful manner, that girl is only about twenty and an nd11student yet she has seen it all and done it all including brothel runz,the local brothel here is mainly populated with benue girls of different tribes. very beautiful girls. even local residents of benue extraction are very morally bankrupt. i even offered to marry her and take care of all her expenses upto masters degree level and she refused yet she's always hanging around me.honestly, i can't just understand her.
