Any plug around Itamaga, Ikorodu?

Oyindamolah:
Suppliers worth calling
Mr B Building Materials — 0803 115 1078. They list delivery and same-day delivery, so this is one of the first places I'd call for sand, granite and cement.

Abosede Building Material Store — Iju-Ishaga, Tokotayo B/Stop, Agbado. 0803 891 2535.

Pamitadz Constructions — 0906 889 0583.

This is slightly farther away but could be useful for comparing prices.
TAOFEEK NIGERIA ENTERPRISES DEALERS IN BUILDING MATERIALS — 0802 828 2391.

50kg cement around ₦12,720, sharp sand at about ₦137,800 for a 20-ton load, and 3/4" granite at about ₦572,400 for a 30-ton load. This is as at 30th September, 2026

I am in the same situation now.
What I gathered so far: Moulding is cheaper and those block industries use 1 bag for more number of blocks than standard.
However, I also got to know that apart from cement and sharp sand, stone dust is used improve strength and quality. I am trying to see how I can incorporate that as well.

Planning 30pieces from 1 bag of cement

What have you resorted into? Any update yet?

earthrealm:
So am torn btw moulding blocks and buying ready made blocks for my project. Dunno if anybody has been in this situ and what option they choose and any regrets??.
2ndly, how many blocks 6 or 9 inchies can a trip of sand produce?. Cement i heard 40 to 45 for 6inch and 30 to 35 for 9 inch.. all hollow blocks. Pls confirm if this is true.
WHAT IS THE cost of 1 trip of sand, cost of 6 and 9 inch hollow block now?
I hv access to portable petrol engine block moulding vibrating machine.

Which side of ikorodu cos I have project currently going on there now.ay gbaga ijede road. Why not get a qualified person to help you out. Stop doing things yourself. Artisans are not professionals. Don't burn your fingers . Everyone has his or her own field . Get an engineer and one architect to help you out. It's not as expensive as you think. If labsca comes to your site ana discovers that you do t have the professional guys they will bill you something.

However this is my view about it. Sorry for taking too long

Pegging 20,000.00
Digging 150,000.00
Blinding 70,000.00
Short Pillars 80,000.00
Block Settings 250,000.00
Filling 150,000.00
Rammers 40,000.00
German Floor 100,000.00

This is fair enough, don't let anyone kill you with bills.
Regards

Thank you bro.
I actually have an architect who also helped with the building approval. Will look into the engineer as you ve said.
Thanks once again

VicM6:
that was why i said it depends on ur location...i work as a site engineer...we pay bricklayers 12k to 15k at times and labour gets 7k and if the work is casting, labour charges 10k for it...the tougher the job the higher the payment for labourers but for bricklayers they go home with 12k and sometimes 15k..


The money just get heavy digit....remove transport and feeding then you go know whatsup.
That's why i said u should try and have a good conversation with him...don't let him cheat you and at the same time don't cheat him too.....let it be a win win situation nd u all go home happily.

Not bad but I will introduce a visitors toilet downstairs possibly by the ante room and make the current communal bathroom ensuite. By so doing you future-proof the house in situations where the elderly relatives (e.g parents) are visiting and can't be bothered with climbing stairs or when you are old and gray or can no longer be bothered with climbing stairs, just colonise the downstairs room jejely.

I will also introduce a technical room downstairs for solar gadgets like batteries and inverter. Upstairs is not bad.

Square the kitchen at the back and introduce a sliding door leading to the back of the house with a back veranda (sit out) Kitchens should have exit doors. And introduce window(s) to the left wall of the kitchen. Not enough windows in the kitchen.

Nice. Thank you for the details. Will discuss them with my architect.

Ok. Thank you.

Biztech05:
You can create a space for V.T Maybe in the veranda area or under the staircase


Biztech Consult.

Good day house. Pls help criticize this plan. It's a 4 bedroom duplex for residential purpose (personal not for let).
Thank you.

Anyone starting 4bedroom duplex this year?
Let's move together.

Is there anyone here that applied for Lead, Solutions Design and progressing to the interview stage?

Pls how much was the last school fees for Masters in Information Technology.

mosbus:
So sorry.
You know am a public servant.

Good day Oga Mosbus.
Pls my Camry 07 refrigerant keep finishing after 3 to 4 months. I ve filled it like 3 times since September last year when I got the car.

I then went to a garage today in order to find out leakage. After the technicians checked they couldn't find any leakage. So they said they would vacuum and refill with green oil which would show where the leakage is coming from eventually.

The vacuum test reads 6. And they ve filled it up now. I just want to know what the vacuum test result means. Because I expected them to find out the leak location today. I really hope this refill won't last just 3 months again.

No odour from the dashboard while the AC works.

Fadelex:
Unfortunately no, my Lagos contacts are unreliable

Ok. Thank you

Fadelex:
It can still be recalled before production, all they had to do is ticket the file and iris will work on it to do the correction before the passport is produced. Once the passport is produced, you're looking at spending 100k to correct it and you'll have to go to Abuja on top of that

Pls do you have someone in Ikoyi office that can assist with this?

Fadelex:
They can correct it before they produce it, but once they produce it you must go to Abuja

Thanks for the response.

So the man that helped us with the application said we ought to have corrected it on the day of capturing. He added that since they have submitted, there is nothing that can't be done unless we go to Abuja after it's out.

Tho he added that it might not really matter much that it's date of birth and Local Govt of Origin that really matter.

Fadelex:
It will pop up... you'll have to do change of data in Abuja

Pls what about place of birth.
It ought to be Osogbo but we mistakenly put Ibadan. Can it cause any issue later?
We just captured this week.

GAZZUZZ:
I am not a fan of the SA models, largely due to abuse by the former owners.


But that last sentence no follow

Thank you boss. So I got to realize this morning that it has actually been used for exactly 4 years and the mileage is 87k. It was previously used by car lease/hire company. Though, they bought it brand new.

What do you think sir?
Price is 3m last

Oga Gazzuzz, pls do you recommend buying South Africa spec Toyota Corolla (2012) that was bought brand new in Nigeria?

Used for about 2 years, mileage is less than 100k.

olurotimi:

No fault, No dent, all docs valid.

Price 3.2m
Mileage-114450
Location Abuja

Call Rotimi on 07042766451

Lucrativress:
Hello
I know someone selling his used Big Baby Toyota Corolla Sports 2007 for #2.5m
Very neatly used
You can see it for yourself.
Reason for sale,he just got another

Thank you. But he said he can only buy used Corolla from 2011 upward

Dayordee4:
If he can raise it to 3.2m, I have a 2011 corolla I'll be selling sometimes in early August. You can reachout if interested

Ps: it's firstbody and just one user. An oven bake is recommended and you're good.

Will inform him about this. Thank you

Ok. Noted. Thank you

9icetoo:
3m won't get him a decent naija used 2011 unless he is lucky.
3m won't get him a toks 2007 sports

Ofemmanu1:
How can a MAN with 3m looking to buy a Corolla?!

Haa!!

Anyways, Corolla sad-boys will comment later.


SMH

Henix:
If it's Golf 3 that his budget can comfortably accommodate, then let him go for it, than buying headache with his money in the name of car. Alternatively, if he can wait and make up the money for the 2011 model, let him do so. Car no dey finish for market.

Meanwhile, why must it be this overhyped and theft prone Corolla? Why not talk to him to use the same budget and get another decent car that can give him rest of mind

Thank you for your responses.
What brand can you suggest maybe I can check it out, compare, & convince him.

Hi guys. My immediate boss (a family man) is planning to buy either 2007 foreign used Corolla Sport or 2011 Nigerian used Corolla Sport. He would have preferred just the 2011 foreign used but due to his budget (2.8m - 3m), he might not be able to get good one for the budget. What do you advise?
He only wants Toyota due to reasons best known to him (I guess it might be the fuel economy thingy).
Kindly share your thoughts. Thanks in anticipation.

Ashimiuamuda:
Have you now clarify what you wanted to clarify ?

I guess he wanted to confirm your zodiac sign. Your zodiac sign is Cancer ♋
I was expecting you to be Leo though.
All the same, you need to start coming out of your shell. The earlier the better.
Just believe that you can!

CaveAdullam:
Maybe you have an introverted personality, hence, your inability to express yourself within and outside your family circle.

Extraversion is one of the big five personality traits: Conscientiousness. Agreeableness. Neuroticism. Openness. Extraversion.

Kids high on extraversion trait are always social and friendly. Those low in extraversion are the opposites. However, for introverts, they are less narcissistic and neurotic unlike the extroverts.
Since you fall on the later side, you must endeavor to exhibit the positive side of extraversion - learn to meet new people, talk and make friends. It will not be easy for an introvert because they are able to spot that most humans are average and dumb, and it is not wise wasting time with them; extroverts simply don't care! They are the opposites.

Make your decisions and let it known. Don't fret. Be calm. Talk when necessary. Just have fun. Improve on yourself and act more masculine. And by the time you are done with all these, you'll not only make your dad proud, but you'll be transfigured into a better self.

Education in all ramifications is very sacrosanct, if parents knew about child psychology, effects of genetics and environment on every individuals, many of them would have done better in raising their children. Alas, here we are, we must help ourselves.

Thanks.

This is succinct. Like this poster rightly said, you are very normal OP, just do it!

Data and perfume

Good day all.
