I was thinking something like this sha

For the standard you pictured, budget ₦15m to ₦18m.

ruffDiamond:
Depends on the location Sha. This area looks rural to me..if na family land you wan build am e no go too just cost.na one room na

Na rural house cost now chief.

En go shock you say this house go rich ₦2.5m now.

Before you attack me, please go and price zinc, 2by2 hard, overlong, rods, and cement. Then ask how much workers collect per day to work, per block to mould, and on each steps. Then go and cost it.

In fact, the roofing of that house is more expensive than the bricks.

I no even wan talk lintel.

I did a construction work recently and only the roofing estimate dem send me for stone-coated style can comfy start a foundation reach lintel of another house.

The slap was uncalled for.


But preachers sef, make una get sense.

My friend Udeme, How you go enter bar to preach...now dem don land you Trophy, Star don comot your eyes.

Ok, so when is his burial?

God abeg no let lion catch hungryman for overthinking.

The police is your friend enemy.

On my way to Makurdi last year January, a Toyota Hilux double-crossed our vehicle (I used a public transport). Men with rifles jumped down. My heart skipped a beat. It turned out they were JTFs with the Customs officers.

I prayed for a lesser evil and God seemed to answer and allowed it be them. Imagine it were armed robbers or kidnappers, or Killer Herdsmen. News were the latter kill on the spot.

Chief, the police is not your friend. It's not your enemy either. Una no suppose get any relationship even for an enemy. It's two lines that never meet.

They do this because they are the arm of gov that prosecute, I guess.

madridguy:
Your story is so touching. Nigeria Police are something else...Majority of our officers are nothing but criminals. Their target all the time is to implicate someone just to milk the person.

You are so lucky the woman is alive to set you free, otherwise only God knows what would have happened to you.

Nigeria police are best in bullying suspect, they will want to be the accuse, prosecutor and also the judge.

Yes, gbamsolutely.


And it's because nothing really happens to them after all these criminal acts they do. Even the ones caught on camera and televised are reinstated quietly but urged to go on a low, or reassigned.

immortalcrown:
All their efforts were to implicate the helper for bribery sake, not to aid the treatment of the accident victim.

I see the police of this country as the champion of victimisation in all circumstances. I wonder why they are called friends.

They tend to earn big on cases like this from both sides ( the person in cell, the family of the victim). It's horrible.

Some people who refuse to help don't just want trouble, they aren't wicked.

But if you insist they are wicked, it's still your business.

I read this post by Ishilove: https://www.nairaland.com/8209708/how-man-helped-accident-victim and wanted to comment this: avoid being a victim of your kindness but it may be stomached with a wrong conception.

Here is my story:

The help I did in 2017 to FMC that cost my three days? I rushed the woman who's just been hit by a kinda hit and run..and the issue of police report started. Good Samaritan me drove with my Bolt vehicle to the station and after narrating, what came out from the Police Constable was "Guilty Conscience. God works in mysterious ways."

The rhetoric hit me like a letter bomb. I stuttered to explain myself better, and was finger-signalled to meet was caricatured by another officer who asked me what happened again, in an attempt to add his own mockery as an end-remark....which he did: "Una no dey ever change this story? Pray she lives or you are in for a long ride."

I wan die that day. I explained that I was with the military (if it would make a difference) and I knew the law and all that. And why would I hit her, come to the station and deny it? Glaring to me, the first Constable who was a woman responded to my rhetorical question with a scorn again: "guiltttttttty conscienccccce ooooooo."

I gazed at her, consumed by a sense of hollowness. And then, from behind, a voice echoed: "'I was in the force, I was in the force's, so what? Make we run? So you want to threaten us or what after nearly killing someone?"

The female constable responded again: "no, he wants to beat me. Na so dem dey"


I was told to write a statement of what happened but this officer won't let me write my own narration. He'd be telling me how to write it if I wanted to be out of there quickly, what what he was dictating was implicating which I refused...and he resolved to teach me a lesson "so far na en station where I dey."

"Oga, I am the one who is trying to save a life, why do you want to implicate me? Would it have been better I left her to bleed to death? Where did I go wrong?"


I demanded to speak to my lawyer or the DPO and they laughed, mimicked scornfully and laughed harder.


Ok, both of my phone's was siezed...and my smartphone was where I had some contacts who could use their position to help me out of this...plus my CO then who was serving in that state. But this people gave me my Itel button phone. I politely requested for the smart one and they bluntly refused giving clumsy excuses.


I sat behind the counter until my black trouser wore out. And it was a Friday. One officer who's been observing for a while came to me and asked what my case was. I explained to him. I couldn't adequately express myself as tears threatened to accompany my words...but I did. After he calmed me, he asked who could corroborate my story and I told him. He told me that the officers wanted the DPO to leave so I could be in cell until Monday when they'd revisit my case. My heart was just shattering anyhow. I told him I needed to speak to the DPO, then my smartphone to call my people, plus the hospital.


They (without this new good officer) took me to the DPO and the black devil trying to implicate me before started speaking for me, rephrasing my speech but instead of adding sugar, they added salt to the injury making it look like I wanted to outsmart them. I requested to speak for myself and the officer who brought me in told me to shut up.


If I hadn't given the Nurse in charge of the accident victim my number, e for don bi for me o.


The DPO told the officer to let me talk. I narrated everything again, and didn't leave any stone unturned, even the few pebbles about trying to implicate me. She asked for the hospital to be called. And I gave the number.


At that moment, they couldn't reach the doctor. But the accident victim's family were present in the hospital. The DPO told them to take me to the hospital. When we were out of her office, this officer insisted he'd cuff me before I am allowed to enter their vehicle...of course which I refused. I SERVED NIGERIA TOO AND WONT BE TREATED LIKE A CRIMINAL! And that by law, it was false imprisonment, and against my human rights. At this moment, swears, I was ready for resistance. I spoke loudly that I am not a criminal and won't be subjected lesser as a toutish one. I also told him to his face that after I am exonerated, I will make sure he pays for all these (and he thought I was joking).

Amidst all the back-and-forth, the hospital reached out to the DPO and she promptly called us back to her office. The woman victim was conscious and verified that I did not harm her. She mentioned that everyone else abandoned her while she was bleeding, and I was the only one who came to her aid. It was being broadcasted for everyone to hear. She expressed her dissatisfaction with the way I was treated and questioned the reason behind my arrest.

The DPO, in my presence, ordered I should be released unconditionally and apologized.

But can an apology heal the trauma?


Could you believe after the DPO left, this godforsaken demon asked me to pay bail or he'd keep me in cell till tomorrow. Omo, I screamed "over my dead body" subconsciously and audibly. And he was like "hand go touch you soon no worry."


Anyways I left after deliberate delay tactics of about two hours. I could not go back to the hospital because the whole event made me fall very sick. But the accident victim lady visited after recovery. She's visited a sick me because my mental health was affected. I couldn't even meet my weekly sums from the Bolt. Two days after the whole event, I tried to drive and my eyes was still seeing rotating images so I had to hug pillows again until I felt much better.

About that officer, story for another day.



But you see me now?


I refuse to be from Samaria anymore. It nearly cost my life.

Thanks Ishilove for this story.

It's high time I told mine.

Normal people: a new design of the old design, of a new price, of the old design.

iPhone addicts: omg, the camera glass is different. I'll buy it.

Girls: what's the room number again, please?


Me: (kisses my iPhone 11 pro max). Never buying a new phone because of hype. A new phone with an old design, and a new housing, with an old everything, with a freaking new price for an old device in a new hype.

Why hunger go catch my drillpipe, I tell you say I vote for TINUBU??
Bro, I am never hungry.
Company dey feed me morning, afternoon and evening right now until I go back to town.

You work in heaven?

Wish safety.

ojun50:
From Ore to Benin City, you will count over 21 check point, and about 18 collect money. Infact you will be hearing bring change and na 500 I get.


From Lagos to benin na up 30 check point

That distance even long.


From Aba to Umuahia that's barely 30mins, you can meet about 50, including those on OP Mesa or patrols doubling-crossing with Siennas, Minibuses or their regular Black Maria every time. You may get High BP thinking they are hired killers.

One day, the police will be offered bribe and they'll run away from you for fear you are about to take their lives.

Why is doing one's job in Nigeria considered a favour?

What's all these gibberish with sex? Hunger no dey catch your prick?

The distracting propaganda they throw at citizens every time will consume them one day.

Even Isrealites in Egypt no suffer reach like this.

Cardoso is Tinubu's lapdog.

What do you expect?

If Shekau was president, what would you expect? Goodness and mercy? It's Tinubu's administration. Lucifer has been sacked over his boss' return.

It's always about who can pull the crowd, whether organic or inorganic...not about who is fit to rule.

Nigeria practice demoncracy.

Students are surprised there was even an allowance in the first place.

That's Nigeria for you.

We have no arm of gov that checks the excesses of the executive.

The whole arms are amputated for the president's convenience.
