Lord Kez007 and all the profs, this is so educative and interesting. I have learned a lot reading through this thread.

spyder880:
@ Oletunow, thanks for the idea, I have thought about this and I know that it is very possible, I have written two books before but have not published any of them, I will look into this idea because there are just too many things I will add to make this work successful, Thank you once again.

I agree with Oletunow, maybe yo can come up with something like "Building Essentials for professionals" including all the step by step approach that you have followed in your threads.

A chicken in Nigeria can't become an eagle abroad.
Take time to develop yourself and you will see that what doesn't come from above (God) CANNOT come from abroad!
Wealth flows in the direction of those that solve other people's problems.

Honour your father and mother (elders generally) so that you days may be long,

Prosperity and peace come as a result of respecting elders.

At the same time, there is no cause that can't be broken by the power of prayers after true repentance.

Well done.

Congrats, good one.

Cheap, working and easy to maintain car then spend the remaining on landed property.

Pls don't allow madam to stress herself by taking Okada or public transport. With good planing you can eat your cake and have it

How far now, interview in the night. In my own opinion it is not professional at all.

What caused all of this

Congrats bros, I like people like you who know what they want in life

Why is the seller selling the electronics along with the house?

Wealth corruptly gotten will disappear without notice.

Slow and steady wins the race.

@Poster, advice and keep on praying for him. I know that you are only concerned and not jealous as some people are posting on this thread so do the right thing and leave the rest to God.

Is this true? What is the Police doing?

Right step,

Haaaa, this bad constructions again.

Now from my experience:

I have an almost 3 plots of land. But the front measured 120ft.
I intend to build a large plaza with a minimum of 56 shop and 2 warehouse.
But because of cash wey dey yab man!!!!

I just left the place like that. But just july this month, i came up with an idea to just
build some shops at the front using only the government set back(in a way that the shop can be
there while i am building my plaza when I'm ready, the shops wont reach or affect the plaza itself).

Now my point is, including borehole that I did for the 12shops, toilet, the front that i make look extremely good compared to others,
town planing that I have to pay over 100k, PHCN and everything I spent on the shop(despite the fact that i made it look 3times
more beautiful than normal, I still spend a total of 1.5million). But when i collected my 2years rent(which the tenants rushed to pay)

I got a total of 2million. Which means I gain back my cash immediately with an extra 500k.

Another point is that, i have not even really utilized
the land. So I am 100 and 1% into shops/plaza build
as it is more than a good investment for me!!!!

He that walks with the wise shall be saved but the company of fools shall be destroyed. Thanks for the insight.

Lord Spyder880 I just love the way your blocks sit around the concrete. The pix are breath taking especially the innovation of using blocks on the parapet. So lovely

Well done sir.

You see, my dad already spoke to my MIL and he told me dat she has always been like that, he even mentioned d mental case issue. She has returned to the states, but she has sent me over 50 mssgs(which she automatically forwards to my husband nd MIL), insultin nd cursin me dat i won't stay long in my marriage(i didn't invite her). ‎she expected my life to be over when she sent me back home and now dat I'm ok she wants to destroy it. Thank you all for takin time out to respond.

A mother's love is meant to be protective and edifying but as it is reverse is the case. Your husband is asking you not to respond (that is perfect and you must obey him absolutely) but you know that you have to stand for what is rightfully yours if not for your sake BUT FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR CHILDREN! You can't afford to allow anything happen to your marriage since you don't want your children to go thru what you are going thru.

Going forward, show your mother love by assisting her to get help but keep her at arm's length and ASK God for help as concerning your marriage.

God will see you through.

@ atasteve, burying plumbing pipes in the decking makes for neater works, but could turn bad if there are any leakages later on in life. I have seen where they buried waste pipes in wall pillars and it later burst, the correction process is always very expensive, plus the offensive odor it throws out. I love neat works where i dont see waste pipes, but i will do external piping of waste in my house.

Another angle to it is that piping internally will save you on concrete, and thats why some contractors endorse it, think of this, you have 9" square pillars that you will pour and out of that you will bury 4" plastic pipes into it, sounds like saving on concrete by as much as 30% on the pillar. But my concern is this, do you know that the targeted strenght of the column has been compromised by the hole created inside the column, and that may cause some safety issues.

Lord Spyder880, that is why I call you Oga . You are absolutely correct. Wear and tear affects everything in life, there was an incidence where shit was filling up the walls/columns and nobody got to know until it became a big issue.

As you said the strength of the column is already compromised by reducing the core in order to create space for the pipe.

I went for the surface piping option and I am happy with the result,

Thanks Lord Spyder880 for the lesson.

I think it is sad, irresponsible and outrightly insane that our security agencies never give us statistics and advice on crime rates in different areas f Nigeria.

If every region of a city has a crime rating and advice on what times people should be on the road or in their houses, at least citiziens will show some alertness and caution on the road.

A close friend's car (MONTERO) was snatched at gun-point along in July 2005 on the connecting Lagos Island/Ijora over-pass coming from Ikoyi. It was around 10:30PM and he noticed a mercedes car had broken down and four girls stood by it with the bonnet opened. He stopped and offered to help tow the car to a safe location and give the girls a ride home. they claimed they live in Alaka Estate. as soon as he prepared his tow cable. one of them pointed a gun at him and ordered hm into his car while the others followed closely behind. They drove instead to Boundary bustop-Ajegunle picked up two guys sped off to Apapa where he was pushed out around Coconut bustop at about 1:30 AM. He told them where the security features where and how to disarm it. His long trek back to safety saw him pick-up by the Police patrol and locked in a cell for wandering. he had no ID and No phone, all his explanations fell on deaf ears until the next morning when he was allowed to Flash his girl-friend who now came to identify him and bail him out. they later took his report and apologized as they were only being careful. He passed at least 4 Police checkpoints that night and could not do anything about it, all they did was laugh with the driver and asked to be rojad something for the night

His montero was found 3 weeks later at Ajamgbadi express way, vandalized. apparently the engine knocked. for 3 weeks the robbers used his jeep without changing the plate number of color and the police did not recover it.

If the public is given data on crime rates everyday, perhaps someone would have noticed and raised an alarm

WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL!

Oga pls where are the pix?

Haba, who dey call this thread useless

Lord Fhemmy, thanks for this innovative idea, i have read from the begining and i must confess i have seen things that i had never thought are possible.

A plumber told me that there is a part of the plumbing work that should be buried in the german floor, so he advised that some of the plumbering pipes should be done before the german floor is casted.

pls the 3 bedroom flat at Iba, is for sale or rent?

Na wa oooo, they don do us abrakada

Lord Spyder880, the Lord is your strength, the wheather will be sunny today so that u can complete the decking.

To increase traffic towards ur adverts you have to do something different. 500 million is not small money for u not to post even pix that can tantallize buyers to look in ur direction.

Pix now @least to encourage the clients.

Lord Spyder, this work is neat and sharp. Well done o

I learnt from the person handling mine that for the purpose of precaution, it is better to have a carpenter and iron bender on standby on the day the deck is being poured so that if case there are issues to be corrected, they will quickly correct them.

@NL1960, this is a good tip. Thanks.

Maclatunji, more pix pls.

Haaa Lord have mercy
