[quote author=Awoo88 post=53217503][/quote]Humpty dumpty see ya life. Even to write your own post u no fit naa to copy? Even to copy you still no get am, your case of olodo is pathetic.
Have you Noticed ipod yoot, wailers, fedora cap people cannot argue logically or engage one in a debate of ideas rather naa to say :
Naa una money
Naa my brother
What of obj
Wetin concern unaa
We go bomb third mainland bridge
We go kill our papa, no be mr able presido buhari.
Humpty dumpty i get your time, will teach you SENSE here because wen they send you to school to learn, naa to dey jump school fence and learning how to break pipelines you go master.

Awoo88:
Na papa wen born you bi dumb head. If fayose got bailout how much What kastina osun, imo, etc is public knowledge. If fayose got something it should be a public knowledge. Instead answering a simple question you typing nonsense putting your mother and your father to shame .

See how you dey display your stupidity in a SHOW GLASS for all to see. You have the time to support crooks, rogues, looters but not a second to google this information dumb head, humpty dumpty naa your name now.
Antiwailer has even mentioned the amount here still yet this humpty dumpty is asking me how much Ekiti got?
This are the kind of ipod yoot that we have in Nigeria. I no be your mama hence i will not spoon feed you to know how much Ekiti received, i have given you the clue, find Antiwailer post on this matter humpty dumpty.

EgunMogaji:
The way they lay tiles over here ehn

Big Eguns i dey jealous you ooo.
Slow and steady method!

Awoo88:
How much did wike and fayose get in bailout fund.

See question my people, this are the kind of dumb head that abounds in Nigeria today.
Even if its one naira, he got bail out funds and what did he do with the money. Civil servants commiting suicide in Ekiti because they have not been paid salaries that the bail out fund was meant for. The governors diverted the funds for thier girl friends to use.

WeRblessed:
When will Nigeria's justice system start working? How could someone be assassinated without searches for justice? When will our law enforcement agencies formulate a solid forensic database to track crimes in this country? If these wicked, unreasonable, and heartless zoo called Nigeria continues to exist without competent and promising leaders with vision, someone will be caused to start killing all the so called leaders or rulers just watch. God cannot help us if we don't want to fight to take what belongs to us.

The problem is you and I. We support evil and play the ethnic card rather than focus on facts, issues, justice and equity. Do you know thier are more DEATHS in the south than in the north? But we will rather dont want to talk about it but crying wolf over the North. See how our leaders have performed over the years in the south apart from LAGOS

The killers, thier family TOGATHER with thier supporters will not know peace.
I saw this guy about 2 or 3 years ago on a sunday just after the cross over service , he came to perform in Fathers Church in Abuja.
I Noticed supporters of evil are not condemning this act, A young Promising guy cut down in his prime. Rather they wish thier father dead not my president buhari. My people from south south and my in laws from BIAFRA are the problem of this country not the hausa, fulani or Afonjas.

Awoo88:
Did wike or fayose get bailout

Wike and Fayose also got bail out. They dont want the people from this states to know and ask questions thats why u see them attacking president buhari all the time to distract thier people from it. Fayose collected bail out yet he did not pay workers thier salary but turned around to keep blaming president buhari for recession, and now championing religious sentiments but we all remember he contributions to the death of fadugba and so many opponents during his first tenure before he was impeached during OBJ time, see deceit.
They should remove immunity given to Governors.

vitalisdiho:
No stealing and no corruption

This is part of the reason why they are wishing thier father dead not President Buhari.
You can Imagine how wicked some people are in this country, i have said in many fora the problem with Nigeria is greed especially from my people from the south south and south east. They embezzlement without looking back and they will want us the Ordinary people to fight a proxy war for them, God forbid count me out.
If the agitation by south east n south south is to make a meaning, The leaders from this zone should live above board and see if the citizenry will not support them totally.
president Buhari is not our problem, its the greedy leaders from our zone and now that President Buhari is on looters of Nigeria, this useless leaders from our zone are playing the ethnic and religious card.
After all our son DON FORTUNATO was there for 6 years and nothing to show but allowed THIEVES to have access to CBN VAULT.

TheFreeOne:
Religious war is gradually brewing thanks to the lackadaisical attitude of Buboo in tackling Fulani herdsmen militia terrorists.

The Prof is absolving nigerian Fulanis from the massacres and wants "Christians leaders to live by example and teach their followers to learn how to love, to tolerate, to forgive and to peacefully coexist" while they are being murdered daily by Fulani herdsmen with no tangible solution from government?

He sounds like he's on cow dung.

Hope you and your family will fight the war and not hide under your bed.
You think war is childs play? No war will happen and CRIMINALITY will be dealt with in any form by this government.

EgunMogaji:
That's just to frame 2 gate pillars. Can you imagine the saving on the roof for my main house?

Baba try ijebu ode axis and see for woods if you have the time.

3strikes:
Baba pass me 5 bottles out of the 36...............Make i take dey chill.


Nice one baba....DIY or get fully involve is the way to go.

Good afternoon Sir!

EgunMogaji:
I feel very proud.

Carpenter wants N2,000 per 1x12 wood. I needed 18.

Went down to "Iso Pako" at New Garage and got it for N1,500.

Saved N9,000 (about 36 bottles of Star).

Of course this is chump change but goes to show new entrants ways you can extend your budget when you buy your materials.

Egun the don dada. Nice one!
This was how all the wood Seller in my axis in Ibeju Lekki including my nebors that sell woods were asking mr to pay same. I just begin wonder say ijebu ode no too far from Ibeju Lekki. Thats how i woke up one sunday morning for that matter enter ijebu to gather market info, to cut the long story i got a Seller a woman with a good soul who suppliers me hard wood for N 1150 for 1×12 and i bought 500 pieces to my site.
I mean solid wood complete measurement that i can reuse 3 times and still standing , i have Sent 2 referrals to her and same great woods was sold to them.
Alot of the artisans and sellers lack integrity and LOVE TO CHEAT. this is what Nigeria has been turned into

factsandfigures:
The problem with most Nigerians is that we are always fast to swallow hook and sinker any news that is against those we don't like without verifying the facts and figures.
Unit cost of N464 per stove is unrealistic! We should not be too quick to condemn the contractor without proper investigation. How much was given to the contractor. How much was supplied. Why was the contractor unable to conclude the project. Is the contract for ordinary stoves?
Before we start castigating GEJ, I will advice those with sincere mind to goggle and study -Global Alliance for cook stove

Shame on you, supporter of DON FORTUNATO WHO SAID STEALING IS NOT CORRUPTION.
THIS stove was celebrated during DON FORTUNATO GOVERNMENT so blame contractor now?

stephnie1:
that clean stove project is nothing but scam. Jonathan na thief we all know.

DON FORTUNATO SAID STEALING IS NOT CORRUPTION.
THIS MONEY WANT DOWN THE DRAIN AND CAN BE FOUND IN properties scatter all over the world.

Shawls:
@Haji Mufutau55
I am glad this has come to the open forum... after we have tried to settle this offline. Thank you for your patience, Fash78.
I am sorry this has turned out to be a disaster for Fash78 and I. I have recommended so many artisans both on NL and Non-NL
before and I was never in this kind of swindle or absconded business. This has left me sad... Money is not easy nowadays.
I have recommended this guy Sova to more than 10 people and has done satisfactory job. I did not see this one coming.
We have been trying to locate this guy for several months now... but all to no avail. But I am still working hard on this.
I have always stood behind those that I recommended but this is the first time my name has been dragged in mud.
All I have ever done is to help the Client and the Artisans... never demanded any form of payback from anyone.
With this disappointment, no recommendation will be forthcoming from me anymore.
I have supplied all his pictures I have and all the known address but he is yet to be found, but he still pay for his crime.
This has left me perplexed.... and lesson to never trust anyone.. I will keep working on this guy.




I forsee this happening over time. Our people are deceitful and play eye service a lot. My own observation with most of these artisans on NL property section is that they pay particular attention to Haji's project(most times they go beyond and above to please him) knowing fully well that, him being the moderator of property section, they need to be in his good books so as to gain his trust and recommendation.In American it is called " bait and switch " After they gained Haji Mufu's trust by providing him their best services (bait), even at a loss sometimes , they are guaranteed references from him and there goes their victims who they now show their true self (switch character) by jacking up the prices for the same quality of work they did for Haji or do inferior quality for same price etc.I'm a victim of such right now and we are still trying to resolve the issue.This is a guy people are singing his praises on this section.I'm still giving him a chance to protect his integrity or else I'll bring him to this section as well. It is so disheartening that they don't want you to owe them money, yet they don't see it as inequitable justice when they end up doing a lousy job after you would have paid them in full(sometimes over paid).This is why some of them remain inpoverished despite their toiling day and night.As long as they are dishonest and lack integrity, it will be almost impossible for those in these category to have a break through life.It is not a curse, it is just the simple truth of life and law of Kirma.Haji Mufutau, please stay away from recommending artisans on NL.I know you are a kind hearted man and you mean well, but please don't let anyone tarnish your good character. I personally, have relied many times on your recommendations, but moving forward, everyman to his own, OYO ( on your own). Let everybody do their due deligence and the artisans/contractors too will have to convince each individual one on one to get any contract.

Oga please mention the guy name. This way future wayoristic ones will sit up.
Alot of them here are wolf in sheep clothing, nice to some nlanders of high standing here just as you mentioned in the bait n switch method.
For example someone asked for a price here and you are asking the person to send you an email, what are you hiding? If you are good! , you are good!! No need to be funny except if you pressed with time then you can use the email approach.

[quote author=mavverick post=53061380]Just recalling from my own experience o.

# measure yourself, its very easy to do trust me. I did it like this, i took down length/breadth in front of the Tiler, put it on my notebook. Got home, transferred everything to excel and let Excel do all the calculations for me and tell me how much is due to Tiler, total sqm, price etc. They usually overestimate for a couple of reasons, the more sqm the more you have to pay them, the left over tiles can be stolen and sold on the streets. When I told my prev tiler, lets go and check my computer so I can show him the calculations and how much is due to him, he ran home. It wasnt until when I told him that if he doesnt show up, no more money. You see, I dont like being cheated and I dont cheat others.


# If you measure yourself, always add about 10% for cutting, most tilers in Nigeria are crude in the way they work. When I got fed-up, I bought an angle grinder. Always ensure that you have like 2/3 boxes of each tiles left/securely stored away for maintenance. It will come in handy, it could also from from the 10% stated earlier.

#Dont rush to go any buy tiles, when you feel the surface and look at the thickness of the glazing, you will be able to tell which is which quality wise. Be careful of letting Tilers take you to stores, most of the ones in Lagos, they will wink to the seller to add thier own percentage. I have people i buy from based on recommendations from friends, but I also look at random places, unannounced.

#If you are buying tiles, tell them to bring out the cartons before you pay, one trick they use well in Orile is tell you to pay first, only to later tell you that the tiles you paid for is not enough quantity wise.

# Know the lingo, you will see Italian / Spanish / China / Nigeria. Look at the back of the tiles to see where it is made, then look at the cartons to see if the name of the company is legit. A quick google search helps.

# Be wary of the China/Nigeria tiles, they sometimes put blanks in the box to make up the numbers. I dont know if this is deliberate or a packaging mistake.

# Tell your tiler, there is a bonus for good work.

# Ensure he is not the stubborn type, I had a tiler who does not like criticism unless its from me, so it made it hard for others to monitor his work.

# Dont let them waste your materials, some of them will mix cement and then pour it away.

# Be clear on the level of the floor and doors, and if you got drains in your bathroom the floor needs to slant towards it.

# If you didnt do the measurement yourself, or if not done in front of you. reduce the numbers sharply. My previous tiler over estimated kitchen tiles by 40 boxes, thinking that he could cart them away. But trust me, I dont take nonsense like that. We blocked all stealing avenues.

# If they open a box of tiles, they have to finish it before opening another one, otherwise what happens is that pieces of tiles everywhere, and then others will march on it and break it, then the tiles is no longer usable.

# Keep broken tiles, this is what I used for my security house + toilet and I think power house self.

# Tell him to set the tiles on the floor, and then send you a picture for you to see first.

# Also, tell them to do one room for approval before moving elsewhere.

# Tell your tilers not to block drains with nylon, they do this and some stupidly pour cement on it, thereby causing a drain issue/leaks.


This is what I can remember, I finished tiling over 6 months ago and I tiled over 1,500 sqm, so talking from my own experience.

Oga Maverick you too much jo, let me save this for future reference. You need to create a thread and share this your experiences honestly speaking. Your expository on decking helped me alot when i was doing mine.
God bless you real good

mavverick:
Nice work Bro !
I had rather pay the armed forces than these guys.

My brother has gone back but he gave me the number of one the army officer that came. I cant share this here.

mavverick:
is this lagos ? abeg which area ?
one of my boys, he went to bring Navy boys in Lekki, still gave them small something but no p1ss taking by omoniles.

Ibeju Lekki
We surprised dem, kobo we no give any omonile.
They really messed up because they looked at my kid army brother as a small guy, so he surprised dem big time. It was a convoy of 3hilux loaded with men that came and the army guys were furious because, How can an omonile a bloody civilian be so rude to an army personnel, secondly Lagos State has out law the omonile activities so what are they looking for.
The omonile were boasting before the army men show that we will not sleep in our houses, i just laugh because dem no know wetin we dey plan for them. Even now they know we have not forgiven them totally so they are threading very careful now.

I have a firm believe in this government and our police and military men and women.
God bless president buhari and all our military and security services for making it easy for Nigerians to go about thier daily chores.
Arms proliferation was too much under don fortunato government whether militants, herdsman, ipod, etc just name it.
This government is working round the clock to correct this anomaly created by DON FORTUNATO GOVERNMENT

mavverick:
I like this idea very well, and one that I also used at a later stage to great effect. I brought a truck load full of tiles middle of last year, normall Area boys/omonile show, as 2 officers sit down for front, they have thier riffle and grenade for near belt

Nobody show that day.

Lastly back2sender, does this mean that no need to pay foundation/decking/roofing fee ?

No payment of any fee, naa if i like. They are now begging me that anything i have for the boys i should drop. I have 3 omonile living in my Street and every one of dem dey behave demselves now because they now know i have an army kid brother and a police officer as my senior and got to know where i work. Right now when dey pass my house they look the other way

Is this not child/baby abuse?
Using baby feeding bottle to drink alcohol? This is despicable

Thats how one omonile came to my place to disturb in my fencing. Luckily my kid bro in the army from Borno was around. He was putting on the army desert uniform hence the omonile and his thugs said naa man o war. My brother go call some army colleagues in ajah axis (espirit de corp too bam for military guys). Army show in convoys omonile jar enter bush, one was caught and was dealt with and the army guys promised to come back.
Come see begging from the omonile and family. We finish fencing dem no near there. We went to make an entry in the police station down (proactive) incase of any future mistake from them and naa sars we go Use pick them next time from ikeja.
It took some of my time but its worth it, The message don spread like wide fire sey that my place naa no go area.
This is how you deal with omonile, artisans and thier likes.

Alajiki:
Ehehehehehe... . We started fvking your women since 1967. When we killed your useless and cowardly fathers and brothers like goats they are and shipped your women down to the west for fvking pleasure.

We're still fvking them till today and they enjoy our bulala no be small. Many of them turned to be prostitutes because they are not worthy to be called our wives.

Go to ikeja, they're still there. I'm sure your mama's elder sister and your father's younger sisters are still there.

rekeson:
I am a Guider in mmm, but d truth is the Guiders bonuses are part of what wrecked the system.

Then again, some greedy participants like a christian brother of mine who ran 8 accounts with 3 million each, and all 8 accounts were registered under one main account for harvesting 10℅ referer bonus. He used the details of hungry fellow xtian brothers to execute this plan. Each account holder was paid 30k monthly.

He cashed out in November and abandoned all the accounts. He made over 15 million from the scheme within just 3 months.

The only chance of return for mmm now is to force all those whose money are in the system to ph and pay a particular amount, in order for them to be able to access all or part of their frozen mavros.

I don't see any other way cos the media especially nairaland made sure that new participants boycott mmm. Only those trapped in the system can rescue d system. There are no new members to rescue the system as it stands now.

What kind of nonsense is this? Only those with money trapped in the system should be asked to provide help!!!. Was this part of the condition at the beginning? What if this people dont have the means any longer to provide help so MMM will now block thier account and they will forfeit their trapped money in the system.
Ntorr ntorr ntorr for people trapped in MMM, see modern day slavery wen people open thier two eyes enter because of GREED.

MMM DONPAFUKA MMM DONPAFUKA OO MMM DONPAFUKA OOOOOO MMM DONPAFUKA PEOPLE LIFE OO OOOOOO FOR NAIJA.
