depend on location...cost of land constitutes about 50 percent of main cost ...the pumps are 750 k each ,canopy 4 leg like 2m underground tank 4 m each ( pms ) ago then office 5m then floor 2m with 30m outside Lagos and abuja u can build one

Wow.Thanks for the insight. Didn't know one can build with such an amount.Apart from the land which I know is the main problem,didn't know one can build one with 30M

ahiboilandgas:
Gun hmm I never seen any gun around loading depot or filling station except na police...get ur location like asaba ,study the frequency of car traffic ,get your land ,get your dpr approvals,build your station ,lease it out to total or MRS for 10m annually ,collect 5 years lease 50m ,get appointed as the dealer for the same station and chop 5 naira margin and use truck to generate way bill......where the charms and gun dey for this process...u want use charm for white man for total or gun for dpr

So what does it really entail to build one?? Like roughly,how much does it take to build a standard station with 3 - 4 pumps??

Because I am an advocate of not derailing this thread, this will be my final post on this topic. Yes
real businessmen could think sometimes that somethings are worth it but after spending they will discover it is not worth it. Their aim of spending that money is not to impress people.

About holidays, I believe you will know that most ideas and inspirations comes in quiet times so where you choose to relax when you want is important and it's not a problem if you can afford. And yes, you could take family pictures there and it will somehow go viral or pressmen/women may bump into you there. It is different from you snapping in the vacation because you want to show off on Instagram to impress/oppress the entire hustling population or you inviting the media to come and cover the vacation for paparazzi..

So great ideas are gotten on a yacht that cost millions to rent.lol. If Bill Gates holidays on a yatch, he's getting more ideas on how to make more money and is not impressing people.If Mompha holidays on the same yatch and posts pictures online,he's foolish and spending on frivolities and is spending to impress people.Do you see the similarities?? Only difference between the two is that one has followers on Instagram and posts pictures on Social Media,the other doesn't. Its hypocrisy condemning one and leaving the other

You would have also heard the common cliché that says all work and no play makes jack a dull boy. The body needs relaxation after some stressful period. Where you choose to do that too is dependent on the quality you want and how bouyant you are.

Am in no way condemning anybody on how they spend their money. My point is rich people spend just like everybody else.The whole notion that rich people spend carefully and spend money only on things that give them value is a false narrative.Rich people are the ones that buy Lambos,Ferrari,Rolex,Gucci etc. These are some materials that lose value instantly they are bought

freeman67:
I do not know about Dangote's support for politician and spending funding violence. I will however tell you that real businessmen do not buy things for show off but because it is necessary. For real businessmen, time is money and as such flying at your own time and pace is required if you can afford it. You will agree with me that Banana Island is more secured than even the other areas you feel are more secured also, accessibility of an area and the network of people you can relate with around that area is very vital too.

Some people spend millions in buying or building mansions because they know they may have people that will visit at interval and would want to stay there. There are different from the group of people that acquire those things just for the glams.. You will not see them arguing about who is richer.. They know their worth.

Well,if Bill Gates goes for a holiday on a yacht at a place like Ibiza or St Tropez for 2 Weeks,nobody will tag it unnecessary or show off. But that's some tens of millions of naira or probably dollars in spending.This is in no way adding any value to him.That money spent only in two weeks could probably build a factory or taken a lot of people off the streets through other means of employment.Difference between him and Mompha in this case is that he didn't post pictures of him inside the yacht.Dangote would probably be owning some Presidential rolex or Hublot.Jay-Z owns one of those.Difference between the two is that Jay-Z brags about it in his songs and Dangote doesn't.Both are Billionaires

In essence,rich people spend money just like everyone else.And just like everyone else,they spend money on stupid stuffs.They are not morally better

ahiboilandgas:
See arik air and rockson engineer and fail power contractor ....cant we have normal rich people like Jeff boz , Alibaba,buffet etc that generate wealth via inventions , manufacturing or talent ?....cant we as a people

There's nothing like normal rich people in this world.Maybe there are but they are not renowned and very few. The world is not a place that you just wake up one morning and you have millions of dollars in your account..Many rich people have in one way or the other have their hands littered with dirty money. Microsoft/Bill Gates has been accused of being a military contractor for the US army.Facebook was exposed to selling peoples data to the US govt. These are people that are known to sit in front of their PC and all of a sudden came up with some fantastic stuff that blew away the waters and they went from Zero to Hero

ahiboilandgas:
How can mompha be having watches of 60m that like 4 solid trucks 50000 litres that can net 2m monthly...i keep asking question dem say na bdc but I have one an Cbn allocate 70k dollars weekly at a margin of 3 naira Max ...210 k ....so where is the Bentley wraith money going to add up

I really hate seeing this whole Dangote this and that thereby painting him as a clean man that makes his money legitimately.Another is this whole rich people don't live like this and that,they don't buy expensive cars and watches bs.

Dangote supports politicians in order to protect his interest.He funds their election campaigns which he indirectly provides money for election violence in Nigeria.Why will Nigerians pay ridiculous amount of money for cement.Why isn't the govt doing anything about it?? He's no saint

Why will the rich spend money on private planes when they can spend far less money on economic flights if they are so economical with money?? Why will Dangote and co go buy a house in Banana island when they can equally purchase an apartment for far lesser cost in a very secured location in that same Lagos?? I can go on and on. Same way some people spend millions of naira on a house they can sleep in one bedroom at a time will someone spend millions on a watch if he deems it necessary. Rich people spend money on expensive things.Let's don't get it twisted

RichDad1:
Go and face them in Ebonyi if you’re man enough

Nigga,no dey make noise online.You are better off being on every Nairaland front page giving advise to people that dont even know you are in existence than putting your mouth or will rather say fingers behind something far behind what you can comprehend.. Might as well take those advise to Aba people when there's a demonstration and give that your advise to them in person rather than being man enough on the internet

RichDad1:
You’re scared already ? Bring a better argument and stop being a coward.

Says the dummy that gives unsolicited advise behind the keyboard.The irony

weedtaker:
Nope, Ndidi is just better form wise and mctomany is not a DM.

You can even argue almost all the players at Leicester are better than our players form wise and no one would disagree with you.

Ndidi is a world class material and needs that next step to establish himself as one by moving to a big club.Same thing with Madison. You will not see it cause of the team they play in.

And they are not better form wise but generally better than some United players.It takes nothing to expose a mediocre player.Lingard for example is one. Iwobi looked good cause he was in Arsenal but anybody with half an ounce of football knowledge knew he was below mediocre.He has been exposed at Everton

benratigan3:
you are some what correct with drake,he said so in his song" money in the grave".however cash money keeps the masters of their artist not universal.rihanna negotiated hers cos of the loyalty clause plus d money she made for them.Michael Jackson had his masters, he foolish wanted to buy half of Sony records after owning half of ATV music catalogue,that was his downfall, but here e.g WizKid contract was 25℅ in 4 ways from album sales,show fees and endorsements to banky w,his manager and eme before him.he was lucky cos some don't see anything at all.

NB only mavin records have structure the rest na minus one

I know cash money keeps his masters but Universal are the ones cutting the checks to cash money and they are the first people to see his money as they are the parent label of cash money. whatever money he makes, universal will get the money first and give the remaining percentage to Cash money.I don't know much about Rihana but I know only few artists have access to their masters. Chris Brown got his the other day

MJ didn't have his masters.He's family aka father in conjunction with Sony owned it.They still own it to this day. That was the main reason why he fell out greatly with his father and partly Sony.They gave him just enough to keep him happy but he was making a lot of money.He didn't have control over his content and Sony with the backing of his family were not going to let him have control.Taking over Sony was a chess move to not only own his music but to escape from the fangs of his father.That was why they went to that length to stop him.

Banky W did Wizkid well compared to what labels do to their artists.Post-Superstar Wizkid wouldve been a great way to cage him as he had a lot of clout.But dude still has his name,can perform his old hits and just transitioned seamlessly unto the next chapter.Don Jazzy on the other hand is a mess.He has ears for good artists no doubt but artists dont grow under him.Moneywise he may treat them fairly OK but music wise he heavily under utilises his artists

Problem of Nigerian music is lack of structures.Viacom,Owners of MTV for example control like 70% of American media especially TV shows and awards.This are people you dont want to mess with.One phone call and no radio is playing your song.There are no such people here. So even if you are Jay-Z and you want to fight powers that be,they will bring you down in an instance

Secondly is Nigeria is a singles market than Album market.Nobody cares about albums rather what hit songs you produce.So labels don't really care much about promotions in that regard. They only care about how many people play that hit song and how much show organisers can gibe them for that.At the end of the day there's no way to checkmate what an artist puts out.

benratigan3:
rihanna signed a 7 album contract with def jam,she honoured it to the latter even after her mentor jay z left,afterwards she got her master recording plus loyalty bonus when her contract expired.
Drake sign same with cash money and got same treatment as rihanna after his contract expired.
these are the biggest musicians in the world o but come to Nigeria ,what do we have
kizz Daniel
may D
dbanj
lyta


when they sign contract on Instagram you never see a learned fellow, just Dada carry fellows
g worldwide go wound kizz Daniel, e never start
Instagram rant wont help him

American labels are the worst.Drake till today doesn't own his masters.Drake was signed to Young money that was signed to Cash Money that was under Universal.Like 3 people has to see money before he makes a dime. No artist can mess with them like what we see over here no matter who you are.They will mess you up as they control the Tv,media and radio. Michael Jackson learned the hard way not to mess around with Jews and their money

BrutalJab:
That's why there are external storages like Flashdrives.


Immediately EFCC were at his door, he would have removes the flash drive from his laptop and hidden them.


EFCC will only meet his musics and movies on his laptop.

Lol.So they will now take the laptop and not the flash drive

jpmoriarti:
I think the game was very entertaining. I didn't expect such a competitive game. But I'm worried Valverde hasn't learned much from our away day blues

Sparta played well and their fans were behind them the whole game even when they were losing.But we were really bad.We allowed them to stay in the game. Could easily be our worst game of the season only behind the granada game. Suarez time and time again wasted opportunities and chances Messi gave him. Valverde on the other hand is not learning anything because he has no idea what he's doing at this club. Griezmann was being played as a LW in a 4-4-2 formation.De Jong as a RW will drop in deep to collect the ball in the 2nd half where as Busquet whose job was to do it will move upwards thereby leaving Semedo bare open on the flank. We were cut open by crosses and if not for Rakitic and some nice defending from both Pique and Lenglet in the dying minutes,we would've thrown away 3 points. I thought Tata Martino was terrible but Valverde is really something else and its a shame he's being backed by the club for whatever reason I don't know

Amuatulu:
U dont really knw the ethics behind this okay.

First TOR browser has no business with cache as it doesn't save it and secondly,there's no way he will do anything without some text files.Is he going to memorise every single credit card he's working with or every phishing email or Bank Codes or proxies he uses to scam. That's why I said you are clearly not making sense

Amuatulu:
Even with TOR browser sef. But what would it take him to always clear of cache of visited websites at intervals..

See as e save bin.txt file for laptop?
All dis mumu yahoo boys sef

Do you know what TOR browser is and how it operates?? And how will he access certain credentials he needs if he doesn't save it on his laptop. You are really not making sense

biomustry:
Ter Stegen saved our asses. It should have been 5-2

Ter Stergen was really good and by far our best player.He's has been our best player this season so far and has really been consistent.

busar:
Messi played rubbish tonight.. He is killing our attack with his bromance with Suarez.. I don't why people want to crucify dembele who played for less than 30min while messi and Suarez missed lots of chances... Yeye goat

Which Messi killed our attack?? Which chances did Messi miss?? Did you watch the actual match or you just want to stupidly troll.Messi misplaced only one pass the whole game and that was the 3 on 1 attack he didn't pass well. Dembele did play ok considering the general performance of the team.Tons of chances were given to Suarez by Messi who blew everything away

We were really bad the whole game. Pique was really jogging back for their goal.Lenglet couldn't complete a single pass the whole game.Horrible tactics as usual from Valverde. Credit to Sparta.They played their hearts out and created tons of chances.We are really lucky to go away with a win from this match.

Valverde is really dragging us down.Why is he channeling our attack through De Jong alone when we can easily distribute our play by load balancing through our 3 midfiled players. Hes putting so much pressure on De Jong by making everything go through him and hes more of a holding midfield player than a great passer of the ball.Arthur that can play those passes doesnt see the ball.He keeps on playing Suarez when Griezmann can impact our game effectively as a striker.Why waste him as a midfielder?? What impact is he going to give us from a midfield of four instead of a supporting striker with Messi playing behind him. We keep on going wide when we dont have the players for such formation thereby wasting Griezmann and De Jong as wide players. I have never seen such a mediocre manager in my life

Suarez is a waste and should have no business with this football club anymore. Griezmann is playing as a LW in a midfield of four where De Jong is playing as a RW. We are really fvked with this manager

Kelvin30286063:
Sure they do but shouldn't that be expenses from the show which the organizers also paid hugely for?

First,your song gots blow before organisers step into the picture.Who pays to get your songs on the radio?? Who pays top DJs to spin your records?? Who pays for Video shoots, Studio sessions,promotions etc. You need clout to sell records or make hits this days and someone is being paid to push whatever trash you produce on the internet for your records to get attention

Remember that all this money are spent on an unknown artist.So they take that big risk. Only downside that goes is if the artist starting hitting that stride,they are positioned in such a way to make a fortune put of the artist. Its really a 50-50 business that can go anyway

needful:
U make more money in a failed country full of loopholes. Those living abroad cant make that type of money because those obodo oyibo countries are well structured. If Nigeria get better, u cant make such money from here.

Facts. Thats the reason why politicians don't want the country to get better.They benefit a lot from the current situation of this country.There's a saying in Igbo land that states that A community is not good is for the benefit of the elders.

Some people look forward to elections because the higher the election anxiety,the more the govt raises T-bills percentages to keep and attract investors that may pull out,the more money is made.Rich people heavily benefit from unstructured societies

Thank God we didnt sign that Seri that was termed next Xavi.Am currently watching Madrid game and this guy loses ball like an amateur player.Lost the ball that Madrid used to score

thorrvik55:
This is obviously biased. Alonso has more appearances that's why.

Besides Lingard can press. He is among the best in the world when it comes to pressing and that's all that matters.

So a lb having more goals than an AM with just 10 more games played is an excuse?? And when is pressing considered a stat for a player in football?? Lol. No wonder the club is in shambles if what their fans consider statistics is pressing.smh

TLona1:
It's not patience but mediocrity and complacency.

Nobody will be patient with a coach that bottled huge leads back to back in the UCL.

Na today goal.com dey report that have a pre signed contract with Koeman.And somehow someway,Valverde is still leading smg

lordfalcao:
guy stop typing rubbish...

The same tactics was used to give juventus hot chase in the league..

The same tactics gave Napoli back to back UCL football even with less players

Different leagues,different environments.Due to nature of Italian league,playmakers are afforded a lot of luxury on the ball.The more laid back and compatibility of the league doesn't encourage high press so that system was able to work there and not in England

I didn't watch Chelsea's matches towards the ending of last season to know if there were changes but Sarri's tactics was easily spotted and exposed.I said it in this thread.Mark Jorginho out and the attack was impotent.I even said that Jorginho himself couldnt adapt due to the high press system and that was why he struggled

spillo1:
LMFAO..... Dribbling highlight lol. Stop showing your age, you don't know what you are talking about.

Bro,in one post you are making sense,in the other you are back to default settings. Insanity is comparing what a striker does to a play maker.

Messi as a playmaker is putting up numbers of a striker.Dude started at RW,before the false 9 role,has played as a 10,LW and all still maintains those numbers. Ronaldo as a pure 9 was great at what he did.He's job was to put the ball at the back of the net and he did it excellently well.If not for injury,dude would no doubt be in contention for all time great if he is not in it already.But Messi is doing that all away from that position.Ronaldo is simply better at goal scoring cause thats his primary job.But Messi is arguably the most complete player ever and he seems to get better as he ages.

Haemophilia:
Sadly, the electrician's inexperience may still hunt us in the latter stages of the UCL. Coach wey mumu.

La liga has been relatively easy for us for like 5years thereabout but a certain camp nou resident wants us to believe it is the sole werk of valverde. Erin n pami.

5yrs?? Like 10 yrs you mean.We have only had competition in the league like only 2 or 3yrs since Guardiola. Any bum can win us the league against a Real Madrid side that don't even know their statting 11 or ATM that can't score more than 1 goal in the first half and are highly inconsistent

chukel:
only people bereft of brain throw tantrums when intelligent discussions are made. You can't make a sentence without an insult. My child, you will never get to my age if you continue this way. Since you have decided to live in denial and self deceit, may that forever be your portion. Child of hate. May hate never depart from you and your kind.

Post pictures of the completed Umunya high way and stop deceiving those who don't ply that route.Also post pictures of the completed section of the high way you claim 500 cars pass at once since am the one leaving in self denial

This guy broke the bro code.She's another mans wife.Take your L in peace and keep it moving

IKON360:
This thread is funny, the same people that where shouting that Valverde is taking us no where, we don't need La Liga, Valverde is wasting Griezman just as he wasted Coutinho, FDJ is playing as a defender, this team is only reliant on Messi, we are not playing like Barcelona all your rubbish...
The same people are happy we are 1st in the same league they don't want, all the complaints of Valverde has disappeared, until the next draw or loss and boom Valverde out will start again, they will start calling him fraud for always playing Suarez, Busquets and S. Roberto... Hypocrites

So your point is??
