Kitchen Glass Door

About a month ago, I went out shopping for doors with a client and saw a nice looking glass double door with a price tag of N2,000,000. Yeah, N2m!

Of course, I cannot afford that now but I need something close. I decided to make one. The work is still in progress but before I get you the pics of the finished Brabus Version of the N2m door. Here's the picture of the N2,000,000 door

mufutau55: Oga Brabus. Excellent work well done. The tilings, the wall screedings, the ceiling POP, the Glass Block installations, all make the Chateau incredibly fabulous.

Yesterday was the deadline for all complaints and worries. Hence, the reason God places our eyes at the front because it is more important to look ahead than behind.

Thank you all for the calls and good wishes. It's well!

Attacked by a deranged man or british-raised terrorist

Not many people neatly-dressed walking down the streets are with stable mind and good health. Until one have closer encounter with such vulnerable people you may find out that many people urgently needs psychiatry assistance.

Today, I was in GTB Ondo branch to do a banking transaction at about 1.30 pm. The transaction went successfully and as I was about leaving the banking hall, a 39 year old deranged british-nigerian man gave me a head-butt and the next thing I see was blood everywhere. Thank God, the guy wasn't holding a gun. In his statement, he said I was moving too close to him and insider source claimed that the attack wasn't the first one carried out by Anuoluwapo Ajose in a banking hall.

Will this attack be the last to happen in front of any bank in Nigeria? The answer remains NO as Nigerian government continues to treat security of Nigerians with kid-gloves. The level of insecurity in Nigeria presently is better imagined than experienced. It is as if Nigeria has now transformed into another country called 'Nigerianistan'.

I'm fine now. I'm just a little bit worried about the security situation of this country.

On a lighter mood when we were doing the first fix electrical works at the grave site, the following conversation ensue with two visitors to the site.

Visitor 1: This grave site na wah o

Me: Thanks

Visitor 2: They are even installing lights and socket.

Me: Yeah! Just to light up and complete the beautification work.

Visitor 1: Oh, I was thinking the light is installed for Mama to read her bible at night and the socket to charge her phones.


About The Grave Site

From the part of the world where we came from, memories and emotions wash over us like waves when we think of the loved ones who are no longer with us. We often ask ourselves what we can do to honor their memory. The Chateau is a project to honor of my client's late mum.

My client does not want his Mama's final resting place to be lonely and abandoned. So, we decided to put Mama in a place people can visit, place fresh flowers on grave and also have memorial services.

May her soul rest in perfect peace!
