Is not everyone that has money to pay of front. Some give part payment and complete it after the wedding. Depends on the agreement. That decorator no get joy at all

I hail that decorator only for being bold to ask for his pay, but boldness would not get him paid.

You decorate and spoil the wedding for not getting complete money, you wont get a dime from me thereafter.

He should have blocked the entrance before the wedding started but mid way, i wont have it. The groom messed up but the decorator messed up bigtime.

Finelinks:
mehn ppl get mind oo.

So they sold him 2008 as 2012? chai

How do you detect that by sealtbelt?

I didn't say exactly that, i am guessing they did since am not sure. Am sure he wouldn't know the difference if he wasnt told. That means unless the dealer is an honest man and did full disclosure, he would have been misled. Of course you know what most dealers would do.

There is a label on the seat belt, where it is bolted. The label has the year of production and it is never different to the car's year of manufacture.

If dealers really want to hide the yr of manufacture, they cut it off.

Bayur01:
Did he by chance tell u the amount he got it?

I didn't ask.

I really do not want go there asking and telling him the bad news if my guess is right. The beans has been spilled, there is no going back.

The lump sum allowed doe the electrical can not do the conduit system of wiring, Cost of cables alone will take almost if not all the allowed.. Remember conduit pipes, distribution boards and also boxes is part of electrical installations

The plumbing aspect also.

Let me break down electrical
200k wire
60k pipes and accessories
40k DB
100k labour

Pius4me:
if you say so my brother. i stand to be corrected. no wahala oo, but why call it what it is not

Shebi we dey call Knorr, Rayco etc say na Maggi or Close up, Oral B etc say na maclean.

Come think am, Land cruiser Prado na Jeep?

twinskenny:
The wiring and piping budget might not be enough

The main thing is quality.

What i did was a mid range estimation below which personally, i wouldn't want for myself.

Wire and DB quality is the determinant for electrical costs.

I wouldn't expect him to insist on Nocaco/Kabelmetal or PPR pipes for plumbing with a 2m budget

Pius4me:
In some countries you will go to jail for trying to buy asbestos, but in Nigeria you are eyeing to buy asbestos to save cost. WOW. Using your money to buy illness for you and everyone around you. My brother better use Zinc To save cost and be alive oo

Bro cool down, they still call it asbestos but it is not asbestos.

Asbestos production has been banned in Nigeria long ago.

What he is talking about looks like asbestos but is not. No company produces asbestos in Nigeria FYi.

tempex88:
U forgot sanitary fittings

Didnt forget, the budget wont accommodate it. Sanitary fittings is one of the last things in building a house.

Me i just wonder, since PDP does not approve of this administration, does PDP expect APC to cease to exist or what?

If it were ABU Zaria, failing 4 courses of biology for 5 years means you will either remain in 100level or would been withdrawn by the 3rd year.

60-80% of 100level courses are prerequisite of 200level and it builds up to the final year. If a student does up to 3 courses of biology like this case, then his higher department is heavily dependent on those courses making at least 2 of the prerequisites.

What am saying is that if guy in the story did so many biology, he must be of one of the following faculties; science, medicine, pharmacy, vet medicine. If he is in chemistry, he may escape but anything biochemistry, microbiology to anything medical, he sure cannot move forward until he clear those carryovers. I am still wondering, which science department would do so much of biology and still do not treat it as a prerequisite.

For eg my roomate and i did electrical and civil engineering respectively. We did exactly the same courses in 100l and failed the same courses. A math and a physics (electrical). By failing that course he was doomed for an extra year, like a repeat since 2 of his 200l courses are dependent on that physics. His is a chain link till final year. I also needed to do his 200l course but it ends there for me.

Adaowerri111:
Tiles no follow? Lol

E no follow.

Wetin remain na interior doors, screed, tiles, elect fittings, plumbing fittings, paint and cabinetry.

If na to enter b the matter, free the pop for pvc, drop the wiring and security door standards.

Still dont think tiles will be completed.

Adaowerri111:
How far can 2mill go after roofing a 4bedroom all ensuite bungalow?

Depending on your taste and off heart lump sum assumption

1. 400k for electrical piping/wiring
2. 150k plumbing
3. 400k Plaster
4. 700k POP or 500 POP/PVC
5. 600k windows
6. 220k security doors

Total 2.47m or 2.27m

Asbestos causes cancer, please don’t use it.

What he is referring to as asbestos is actually not asbestos but cement fibre.

FG has banned the use of asbestos a long time ago.

jabolo:
Asbestos? ... Don't you have Google?

It will distribute carcinogens that will shorten your life, and the lives of innocent people that come into the property

Who still uses Asbestos in this day and age?

Who is still allowed to sell it?

I used its ceiling board in a project.

My neighbor traveled for a burial in the east, i had to call and find out if everything was ok as he took too long, almost a month.

He just showed up with this car below, after pleasantries and congratulations, in my mind i said this guy was probably cheated.

This morning, my 7year old said, "wow, this engine is so new". Great mileage of about 90k (i dont doubt), but a salvaged 2008 with 2012 body kit. I saw the steering and
audio system and i knew, checked the seatbelt and it confirmed 2008. He got a good deal in his mind but i know he most probably didnt. Infact putty already fell off his rear bumper.

People buy cars every day, getting a good deal is the problem not the brand of car you are buying. A 90k mileage is a good buy but buying a 2008 at the price of 2012 isnt fair and would definitely not be a good deal. Unless there was full disclosure that is.

A good deal is just getting a perfect car at the perfect price where both buyer and seller leave happy and satisfied. A bad deal is when price is higher than the value of the car most times arising from insincerity or ignorance.

You can NEVER win the bookmaker in the long run..All gamblers eventually lose if only they tell themselves the truth and calculate their winnings and losses.

It is just a painful truth!

Do you think the person who wins 1million has actually spent the same amount in tickets?

Na indecent proposal you wan act here?

Where is her husband? If she is married and still with her husband, its wrong. If she is not with her husband, i guess she is free to do what she can to put standards on her children. I will say Gob bless her hustle.

If all prostitutes have good reasons like this, then prostitution might get the rebranding it needs.

Lie from the pit of hell.

Who drinks 3k every day?

A bottle of Heineken or Budweiser is available at N350 pump price and N500-600 at vip.

Assuming he takes at N500, that is 6 bottles daily. I know people drink as much but it isnt realistic to drink it everyday.

If he drank the average daily in an average joint which is N250, he drinks average of 4 bottles daily and buys 2 of his friends same amount daily. Thats still unreasonable since he is buying beer on the daily without reciprocal action from them.

The story doesnt add up. Just say you are saving in a piggy bank but dont tell me an average guy spends 3k daily on beer.

This kind of lobby is corruption already and has PDP name all over it. What ever PDP puts their interest in will eventually lead to chaos and corruption.

diordaves:
To add to your take, labour cost is a function of:

Negotiation

Availability of competition (Labour)

Location

The quality demanded and

The location of the homeowner. If the homeowner is a diaspora, labour cost will be higher.

The truth is labour cost is subjective. It is possible to plaster a duplex for 200k and 700k as this is based on individual circumstances.

To me, labour cost is not fraud. Labour cost is not stealing from client. It is an agreed sum by both parties to do a job. So if one thinks the labour cost is too much, negotiate and if not satisfied, look somewhere else. This is never fraud.

I want to understand how the client being in diaspora will make the labour cost higher? Why would the labours know that the client is in diaspora? Who will tell them?

If bread is N10, a person from the diaspora cannot buy it at that price but higher say N15?

No be we dey do ourselves? This is the same reason we are expecting inflation to increase as soon as the new minimum wage is paid. Even palm oil and garri go increase. As soon as purchasing power is higher price goes up for absolutely no reason.

The standard labour per day i know for skilled labour is 3500-4500 while unskilled labour is 2000-2500.

I make my labour cost estimate based on the ability to complete the job in a day. The final price is fine-tuned with negotiation.

Most plaster jobs are simply plaster. Dressing is another job since some internal doors require dressing and some don't. When we talk of plaster, lets limit it to walls and decking.

Personally, i will plaster long before i install doors so dressing will not be included on plaster labour.

Binsugar10:
Thanks op for initiating this thread.
I am looking to buy a new phone but, am confused which one to buy with two phones topping my list, they include; umidigi s3pro and xiaomi note 7pro which run on media tek and snapdragon chipsets respectively.
From my scale of preference below, I list the main features that I so much desire my new phone will be equipped with;
1. Camera. I need a very good camera for taking pictures and videos of my products to display them online.
2. Battery. l really don't like charging or am always lazy when it comes to charging. I manage to charge just once a day.
3. RAM and ROM. I need a 6gb or more RAM that processes at a lightning speed cos, hate it when phone hangs and a huge ROM to save files, videos, and movies.
4. Finger print sensor. Like my phone to be more secure.
Having listed this, could you please help by telling me which one has the best performance and would wonderfully suit my desire.
Many thanks again as i look forward for your reply.

This is how i make my comparison.

1. Camera- They have the same rear camera sensor. The difference of MP in front camera is insignificant. I almost never snap a picture at anything more than 5mp. Its the sensor size and aperture i care more of.

2. Battery - At 5150mah and 4000mah respectively, I prefer the latter because of the Snapdragon soc which is more power efficient and has quick charge technology reducing charging time drastically. The power efficiency may match the battery capacity of the former.

3. Both have the same RAM and ROM

4. Fingerprint sensors are available on both

My preference is the Xiaomi for this reasons

1.Antutu benchmark is higher

2.187g of Xiaomi is much much better to the 217 on the Umidigi

3. Even though a little larger in length and width its much slimmer at 8.1 vs 8.5mm

GudluckIBB:
i guess I'm the only person not supporting GBAJABIAMILA

Come to Surulere his constituency,he hasn't done anything for his people for 12 years

No traffic light is working in surulere, no road, nothing is working
Even the road that leads to his ancestral home in Gbaja off Akerele is in a bad state
So what is he going to offer Nigerians if he cannot fix is immediate dormain ?

Nobody should come here and say its the state Government job because Gbajabiamila collects Constituency allowance to provide and fix the aforementioned amenities


By the way, Why is the man in the second pics making a sign of sex

How is that his responsibility. His responsibility is far beyond to road to his village or traffic lights. Ask Ambode why the traffic lights are not working.

LesbianBoy:
Messi fans can hype nonsense sha.

I didn't watch the third goal live but because of the noise around it I decided to see the replay and I was disappointed!

This is what he and Ronaldo scores on a good day so why the noise! I even thought he did something difficult that would be hard for Ronaldo to replicate. Mstcheeeeew!!!

Meanwhile like I said in another thread, klopp was the cause of yesterdays heavy defeat! He went there to park bus when he doesn't train with his players bus parking tactics on a regular!

From the bolded, isnt it obviously who is better?

MartinsD12:
Xiaomi is using what processor?

95% Snapdragon

Samad805:
That is for d 013 model upward

Go to Apo, Zuba, Gudu or Kugbo and ask them you want any part for scatter, it will not fit a 2013 Accord.

So PDP go still dey shout Buhari certificate till 2023? How pathetic.

keepingmum:
Is the workmanship for the entire house or for one section? essentially the estimate given is

PLASTERING WORKS(Interior Only) -
Plaster Sand 5 Trucks N30,000 = N150,000
iii. Stone dust 1 Pickup N15,000
iv. Cement 40 bags - N2,700 - N108,000
v Plaster Additives 2 Liters N12,000
vi. Water Factor N5,000
vii. Labor for Plastering N100,000
Total N390,000

PLASTERING WORKS(Exterior Only)

i. Plaster Sand 5 Trucks N35,000 N175,000
iii. Stone dust 1 Pickup N15,000
iv. Cement 40 bags N2,700 N108,000
v Plaster Additives 2 Litres N12,000
vi. Water Factor N5,000 vii.
Labor for Plastering N120,000
Total N370,00

Assuming the entire plaster will be done in a day. Assuming a Mason's daily pay of N4000 and labour N2000. Assuming 1 labour to serve 2 Mason's. Assuming 2 Mason to plaster a room.

3bedrooms and sitting room=8
Dining = 1
Kitchen = 2
4 toilets = 2
Lobby =1
Store 1
2 Shorter external walls = 2
2 longer external walls = 4
Total= 19
Approximately 20 Masons a d 10 labourers.

20x4000=80000, and 10x2000=20000
Total N100,000 for labour.

Work can be done by 20 Masons in 1day or 10 masons in 2 days or 5 Masons in 4 days or 2 masons in 10days. The labour cost should not change.

biosilicon:
If the benz can score 3 out of 5 in your books. then it is reliable. If it is reliable and can perform then you will agree with me sir that reliability and performance can both be absolutely priorities when one intends purchasing a vehicle.

See it this way,

The most reliable Lexus
The most performing BMW
The most reliable and performing? Both Lexus and BMW lose points while Benz gains points.

If your choice is Lexus, you didn't get the most performing car among the lot. If your choice is Benz, its neither the most reliable nor the most performing.


Also if you get the Lexus, that means you priotized reliability ahead of performance.
If you get the Benz, that means you priotized performance ahead of reliability.

If you really want to prioritize both reliability and performance, then you should buy both Lexus and BMW so that your garage can show exactly your priorities. You would have ended up separating reliability and performance.

Priorities means compromise either reliability or performance. You can't avoid the compromise.

svc1:
I remember when I bought my 1st car in 2010, all I had was N2.5m and I thought about buying a luxury car then, but I was adviced to buy a new car instead of tokunbo or 9ja used.. so I settled for a brand new Hyundai elantra 2010. I've been using this car for 9yrs now and I would say it has been a good buy for me all this years.. I would advice u to look for a cheap brand new car and buy, to safe ursef from faults and maintenance cost..

With 1.5m?

That your Elantra pass 5M now o! Even Innosson no get 2m car.
