Ignorance how?

I think the ignorant ones are those that don't differentiate the forecasted growth rate of the different locations thereby comparing apples with oranges. IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT and you buy swampy land in a fast developing or already developed island location, then your ROI and payback tenure are incomparable to what obtains on your mainland dry land.

I think majority knows this and it has been discussed here many times, yet folks still try to critisize those choices. It's a different market for different type of investors/people.

its not ignorant, source of fund, family isolation, put many to such areas majority prefer an estate property so family will not come disturbing, many of this properties are taking care by lawyers family hardly know about it.

Don't mean to be off topic but is anyone in the diaspora able to sell dollar for #470' The highest I ever get is #435

Pls i need. $60,000 lets hook up... I beg

Island, VI, Ikoyi, Lekki-Ajah
Our 30tons Granite remain @$500 equivalent to Naira. Over 6year we have not change price... Its Naira that is changing ooooo.

Mainland @ $450 equivalent


Devaluation coming soon, USD may reach ₦500 by December.


NB Usd @470

The highest of seamp are on mainland, Ajegunle, Mile 2, MazaMaza, Oluti, Alakija, Festac extension, Abule Ado, Gani Adams side, Ijegun, Opp Barracks, Agric, Volkswagen, Iba, Alaba, Ajangbadi...etc they also lack Building ethics with serious bad eco management.

Building collapses there faster than island. 10yrs old building collapse while 50yrs in island or fresh onces without good Build ethics.

diordaves:
Apart from VI, Ikoyi, Central Lagos and maybe Lekki phase 1, can somebody educate me on the attraction of the island lands?

I'm thinking, why should I buy a swamp, wet land, or a mash for 5 million Naira and use another 12 million Naira to starbilize the land and build just the foundation?

I'm looking at photos being posted here of available lands in the island, to be honest, I'm not impressed not only with the quality of the land but also the quality of the area. I'm not even seeing the potential of any future quality well planned location.

Am I missing something? If you think I am, please educate. Or are there no more land in the mainland?

No just come there oooo, fresh air, water front & lots more. Can i ask you a question too, Why are skyscrapers more in Lagos Island? I beg ooooo left them ooooo,

Laf wan finish me here ooo

Badgers14:


Ogun state

Xtopher123:


There's no where in the world, anyone will be erecting a structure without a structural engineer's input in the design process and also making sure his structural specifications are implemented accurately.

There is alot in Nigeria, Baba Sule, Kofi, Chukwuma(Stainless), Amusin... Them plenty make i mention few from Abuja, Lagos, PHC, etc. Kofi travel pass, he is a structural, electrical, plumber, iron bender, Archy name it na Kofi be that.

Politians use them mostly... They only need an engineer to just sign in his air conditioner hotel room. You go fear whenn you enter Naija them be serious Nija.

sam1919:
Hello dear people of Nairaland! Please I want to make an enquiry about my project I am undergoing in Benin city from those of us who are good in engineering and site work.

I have a 3 bedroom and a two room self contain flat which is already on a DPC level and I done the forming after the filling with just one coach. I want to give the project to an engineer to finish the job just go paraphet level I.e he will be the one to do the paraphet.

The engineer is charging 2million Naira for just the labor. I will be the one to buy all the materials needed; all the cement, block, rod, wood etc. 2M is just for labor alone.

Please is this fair enough ? Is the price too high?

Please I need your urgent help.

Run, Run, Run, pls find another engineer... From this forum

Jeff68:

Muyi002:

Gigaset:
Thank you so much sir for the reply the project is located in Mowe and according to soil test result a pile foundation is recommended which i wasn`t expecting so that`s why am looking for a very good engineer that can handle pile foundation

Land is that bad? If Pile i will say no reason to panic because its imowe, your depth will not be much, i give respect to Aventure, Segcymoore(Abbatoir) very skilled in pile work. Pile point if much that is where is scaring...but to say the fast is best form of foundation if done properly.

Max is you spend ₦12m for foundation.

Abule Ado is a good place too dry land in range from ₦1.5-4m

cleverland:
where about is the land located in unilag estate? May I see pictures?

Unilag estate IKORODU, very good, i supply to that location table surface land, Road is the major issue, Oreita road Ikorodu is a level land,

EgunMogaji2:


Those Volvo FL6 here in Omi Adio allegedly only carries 10 tons.

Yes, that is the max as directed by owner but drive get tip to load full which load 12tons.

n3xt:


Go to Shoprite building/hardware section or other building marts. You can also get it in Orile.

I think it’s between N50 - N200 per pc depending on size. It’s also sold in packs.

Years back TBrownauto purchase some Italian tiles the spacer was found inside the package, i wonder if such tiles package or product still exists.

One4me:


Before l mention names, trusted names, it will be good to know where your project is located.
If in the East/South-South, l will say Spyder
If it is anywhere above Lokoja (Up North), l will say[b] Abduilwastecx[/b], if it is after the Niger Bridge down South West, l will say[b] Aventures, Segzy[/b] and one other name that l cant remember right now.
Archy? Dareynx
Paint? Gbadexy is your sure bet
Material Costing and Project management? Hail QSfemi
Electrical? Topsy
Plumbing and the likes? Rotech
CCTV? Twinskenny
Tiles and bathroom stuffs? Endiasami (but not heard from him for a while)
Roofing? Imram Roofing
Granite and Sand Supply? Chekitaut but you will need to make sure his vehicle does not break down

There could be other people that have skipped my mind right now but I would gladly work with the above Builders.

#NotABibeli, if l missed your name, it does not mean you are not good, it simply means you have need to impress more on this thred and with the work you do. My apologies.

Keep us informed so we canalso help you answer questions and keep your Contractor on his toes.

One4me, is One4us, you act like the cartoon i grew up watching & will never stop watching VOLTRON, ... defender of the universe but you the defender of Nairaland Property section. White cap chief Egun i remember the kobokobo formula then still fresh in my head. Respect sir's for defence role you play to members & guest even to the Whole Wide World (www).

n3xt:


Correct. I was shocked to the marrows when a man diesel truck loaded a full 30 tons trailer in just 2 trips and few sacks.

Due to site accessibility issh, I had to drop the granite some distance to the site and transload with a smaller truck. I was shocked to see the small truck transload the supposed 30 tons in just 2 trips.

one chance...

peaceland:
Thanks greatly sir.

You welcome sir

I waited for this request finally it came, if you receive delivery of this kind pics below, it's never 15tons load capacity, if its full like this is max 12tons, the pics below is 11.25ton load capacity.

abdulwastecx:
