Though our leaders are the most inept set of leader but you'll have to agree that Nigeria far outweighs Ghana in landmass and population

#Modified
I am not making excuse for the corruption of the govt or the Discos
But stating a contributing fact .

if Nigeria were to ne broken into smaller region , I am sure a place like lagos will not be having electricity problem . because it will use its resources for cater for only its population .
Lets look at this , the poluation of Ghana is 27.4million . That of Nigeria is 180 million . That ratio is 1:6.

That is just the fact I'm stating. Don't get it twisted

You have made a good observation

But the problem of Nigerian Electrician consumers has NOTHING to do with the massive Population.
It is a function of CORRUPTION by Nigerian Elites.

Just take a look at the list of those who bought NEPA (Our national Asset!) at rock-bottom prices, in a privatisation organised by the "Saint" El Rufai (as head of BPE back then): Former head of States, Former Ministers, Big time looters...... all people who have NO CLUE at running a Power Company bought just bought it believing they can just strip-off its Assets.

Right now, after many years, they have not invested a Penny in their Discos.
All they have been doing is siphoning money out of th eplace, asking for unending hike in tarrifs, asking for Free Money from the federal Govt and refusing to invest in prepaid meters because they know trhat will hasten their death, as the cant cheat Nigerians by collecting Money for nergy not supplied.

The New Scam they are into now is to install a Meter at the transformer and then share that phantom value on all the people in the area.
Ofcourse, they know there is no way the consumers can monitor that, they just share whatever value they like.
Even Fashola is tired of the whole thing because those involved are bigger than him

@daboomb,

thnks for the thorough analysis.

1. any idea how many headpans are in 1 trip of sand?...learnt 1 trip is 10tonnes, am guess 1 headpan should be 30kg?

2. in another writeup i saw, someone said 1 bag of cmt will set 80 to 100 blocks, but will mould 35 to 50 blocks , pls clarify

3. for simplicity, i would stick to using blocks for the spine, and not iron rods and concrete, thus thinking of using the width of 2 or 3 blocks as spine

4. in the writeup some1 used 0.85, wondering why thought it should be 0.66, since 1 block is 18inchies = 1.5ft, the calc below was done for 60ft x 120ft land

..

Not sure about the 0.85 and 0.66 stuff, l like to keep things simple.
One block = 18"
One feet = 12"
if your ground is good, then stick to Blocks only for your columns.
As a rule, l generally wont do blocks only (personal preference)

U could have as well express your opinion without being insultive. I guess in this context the term 'fair pricing' is subjective. So to each his own. But my is point is go for what u can afford. Don't expect wizkid to come perform in your daughter's birthday when u can't meet up with his terms of fair pricing. A friend actually wanted davido for 5m for his dad burial, but davido refused the amount...guess what, this same guy got Ayinfele for 1.5m to come perform at his dad burial...Reputation bro...

Did l insult you in my post?
My apologies if you deem it so.

I still insist there is a disconnect, between what we are saying.
I understand you to mean "fair pricing" is non existent, right?
But l also know that this is a big issue in most countries and it is well documented and implemented

There is even a TV show on a U.K channel where "Rogue contractors" who take advantage of vulnerable people, are exposed and charged, forcing them to refund the excess charges.

Anyway, l dont want to make this a one-on-one argument so, we agree to disagree.

olumide4christ:
@ the bolded...this has happened to me many times on this Nairaland...that's why these days when people are asking for cost or quote on Nairaland, I just dey siddon look them, even when some people may be misleading them.

Most "Nigerian Business", cannot survive more than 20years before it collapses yet, in some Climates, Business survives over four generations, as it is passed from father to Son and further down the line.

Question we should be asking is: WHY?
The answer lies in what is called the "Business Model".

What you have stated above, for example, is YOUR OWN business model.
Others have a 'different' Business Model.
Its a deep subject that l cannot do justice to, on a pedestrian platform like Nairaland but l will do a brief summary by using examples.

If you notice, a few Seller/Contractors on this Nairaland, usually start out by giving FREE KNOWLEDGE. How?

They either explain some technical issues that people are interested-in or detail their work, in a FREE LECTURE FORM.
Almost ALL Builders on this thread have done it at one time or the other, before they became Popular (Aventures, Spyder, Skimanski, Abdulwastecx, just name them)...and it is a good thing, in my own opinion.

Its a form of advertisement for Customers. (This is what big companies like MTN, Nigerian Breweries, etc spend hundreds of Millions of Naira on, annually)
In return, they attract Customers to their Services.

So, their Business Model is to "give out some Freebie", and in return, collect t"he patronage of some customers" (those reading their posts), who would not have looked their way ordinarily.
For some "prospective" customers, ASKING QUESTIONS is a way they just want to use as a yardstick, to judge the competency of the contractor and see whether they can trust him with the real, big job

So, for those whose 'Business Model' is to be miserly with information (or to shun advertisement, as in the case of Nairaland where information is used as advert), the rewards is there.
For the smart ones, l am sure they are also seeing the result otherwise, no one would be wasting their time on Nairaland, taking and posting pictures, explaining technical details, answering questions, e.t.c

If very rich and prominent companies, whose assets are into the Billions and are household names, have not thought it as wasteful, to advertise,
to entice customers in form of promotions, raffles, offers, e.t.c., how much more a one man business that is relatively unknown ebyond the owners compound? grin

But then, like l said, its 'your business model', if it pays you, who am l to challenge your authority. undecided

BTW: This is not an endorsement of freeloading, people should be ready to pay, when they are about embarking on a standard building project

Daboomb: And Yes, we are 'generalising' because the topic is not about attacking one particular Contractor, it is to appeal to both Clients and Contractors, to develop a MUTUALLY FAIR method of Costing Building Projects; So why should any poster be particular and not generalise?

snakebeat:
There is no fair method of costing in a rendered services. Are u saying the big lawyers in abuja used by our politicians would earn same amount as with those of lower reputation for same case?

My uncle is a lawyer, a very sucessful one based in Abuja. I can still remember the amount he collected from a client for visiting him in ICPC then, just for visitation, i know most lawyers won't earn such amount for all the cases they will defend in their lifetime. Reputation matters alot sir.

It seems a lot of people here dont know the difference between the phrase "FAIR", and the phrase "FREE"? or maybe they are confusing one for the other! shocked

In my post above, as quoted, l used the line "MUTUALLY FAIR PRICE" to both Contractor and Client.
*What does this mean?

*Are you aware that Lawyers have been asked, to Refund Money (Service charge), considered as UNFAIR and EXCESSIVE CHARGE, to their Clients? If you doubt this, please ask your Uncle, l am certain he will brief you on the circumstances and probably cite examples for you.

* If other countries have "fair pricing system" in most, if not all Trades, what makes you think Nigeria must be different like we are some Aliens from Mars?

In most cases, "fair pricing" is not fixed or determined by either party to a contract/transaction, it is arrived at, after careful study, by independent Panels which might include representative of both parties involved.
At the end of the day, both parties feel relieved and fulfilled, (Mutuality) for the part they would pay (Cash and Service) when such fair price is applied.

"FREE" means you dont want to pay at all and that is ridiculous.

The fact that everyone is a HYENA, competing at who can exploit the other the-most, and getting away with it (which is what leads to our ever spiralling inflation, with prices only going Up (when reason demands) but never coming back to normal when such reason are abated.. does not mean it is right or desirable.

RipVanWink:
hello gents,
am a newbie here. tried searching , no show

want to fence 100ft x 100ft land, dwarf fence, say about 5ft, am assuming 2coaches in the ground and 3 or 4 coaches on the surface.
would appreciate a rough estimate and breakdown of the cost, or even better someone who has fenced recently could gimme his total cost, i may be able to extrapolate.

2ndly, i intend to use 3 locks to form the spine of the fence, placed every 10ft apart, btw u[b]sing block as spine and using iron rod and concrete, which is better or preffered[/b]?

First, Reinforced Concrete, is always stronger (and more expensive!) than using just blocks for any Column.
So, if you can afford it, use Concrete Columns.

As to your other question, l will suggest you be ready to do small calculations yourself.
Dont expect everything to be handed down to you, without effort.

Here is a Rough estimate, to start you going.

I Block is 18".
1. Find out how many of that you will get in 100ft (1200" wink

.Divide by 18 and that would give you "maximum" amount of Blocks required.
2. Do same for 50ft.
There are two sides of 50ft and 100ft in a fence.
3.) Multiply the answer you get in 1 and 2 above, by 2 (double it).
Now multiply the figure in (3) above, by the number of Coaches you want to achieve (5 Coaches?) to get total number of blocks (maximum) required.

Note: You can refine this figure by considering to deduct blocks meant for spaces that would be occupied by Gate, other openings and Mortar used in joining the blocks but also factor-in breakages of the blocks.

Each block cost between #160 - #180 (6" Blocks).

One bag of Cement will set about 40 - 50 Blocks
4.) Divide total number of Blocks in (3), by 50, to get how many bags of Cement you need for Block setting

Use 1:6 Cement-Sand ratio i.e two Headpans of cement (1bag) to 12 Head-pans of Sand.
Multiply the number of Bags pf cement in (3) above, to get the number of Headpans of Sand you need. (You can translate this to Tons of Sand or Tipper of sand)

- Depending on the type of Soil in your Area, you may need to just do Blinding with Cement and Sand and not need to use Concrete Mix of Cement, Sand and Granite + Iron Rods.

But if you do, you can calculate the Volume of Concrete mix, (L x B x H = Volume), measuring the total length of your fence on the Ground.
Use mix ratio 1:2:4 (Cement, Sand Concrete) for the Concrete part

Additional Notes:
*Cement Density of 1506kg/m3 and for a 50Kg Bag of cement
*Density of Granite is 2750kg/m^3 or 2.750/1000 tons

Labour is at an average of #3,500 (#2000 Bricklayer and #1,500 labourer) for setting about 80-Blocks but you can negotiate with your Bricklayer properly, for a discount. Total Labour cost will be Total number of Blocks divided by 80 (max). Blinding may be costed separately but it is better to cost all together.

*Budget for Water to use in mixing the Cement as well, add few Nails and some bags of Pure Water for your Workers. grin

Do your Homework and at least be prepared to negotiate from a 'position of knowledge'.

Unless you want to tell me that you have not heard/read about all the CONTRACTOR SCAMS on this thread, the list is so long l dont even have to mention usernames. (just this thread only!), then what you wrote about is the most silly comment on Nairaland.

And Yes, we are 'generalising' because the topic is not about attacking one particular Contractor, it is to appeal to both Clients and Contractors, to develop a MUTUALLY FAIR method of Costing Building Projects; So why should any poster be particular and not generalise?

@Skimanski,

You are one of the contractors that I have used on this Nairaland that is very good (That means I don't like cheap stuff ).

When something is too common, that is when generalization sets in. There are many graphic designers like Brabus turn Builders here.
I had spent millions fixing problems from Nairaland contractors than contractors that was introduced to me by acquittances.

When we give Nairaland contractors jobs, It is a gamble on a faceless forum. We are trusting you and many betrayed that trust. The probability of a contractor that was introduced by acquittances to dupe or do shoddy job is low because there must have been proven track records and relationships.

But here, I have had a rethink about giving job out through here. I do extreme due diligence now.

It is also true that "Internet Contractors" are tech-savy so they do a lot of PACKAGING, instead of allowing their work to speak for them, coupled with the fact that most of their Victims (Clients) are people who are based abroad or have little time to do due diligence and proper supervision of the Contractor!
All you hear is 'wire the money' and l would send you pictures of the work as it progresses.

In a country where most people are Greedy and selfish, without the fear of god and where there is no efficient 'punishment system' for erring contractors, it takes a lot of "blind faith" to send Millions of Naira to some unknown person on a faceless forum.

But l am happy that everyone is becoming wiser now, maybe that is one benefit of this recession undecided

Record the parcel as you open it, even better in their presence
If they ask for Bribe or make any wrong accusations against you, RECORD IT.

Career › Re: Interesting! Legal Diary: Legal Stories And Legal Opinions by Daboomb: 4:36am On May 24, 2017

chokovirus:
nice job with this legal education. is a tenant expected to pay for 3 months if he vacates the premises at about three months to the expiration of a 6 months quit notice?

Let us break it down a little:

The Quit Notice is an intention to recover possession of the said property, by the Landlord, at the prescribed time, as guided by the Tenancy law.
We can assume that it is the Landlord that gives Quit Notice (though, a tenant on Contract, can also give notice of "intention to surrender" the property, to the owner).

So, the Landlord usually tells the tenant he wants to take possession is six months time, to allow the tenant seek alternative accommodation and in-line with laid down tenancy laws.
Under this scenario, the tenant is obliged to still continue to pay for his rent, as at when due (if paying monthly) within the Notice period. if he is paying yearly, it is assumed that he has paid for the Rent in arrears, which covers the duration of the Notice as well (wherein the landlord serves the Notice, six months to the expiry of his yearly rent), otherwise he will pay for the six months and at the end of which, he vacates the property. Such tenant is always liable for the rent, during the Notice period.

Let us assume for the sake of explanation, that it was the tenant that "wilfully" gave notice to surrender the accommodation in six months time.
But before the end of six months (in three months), he actually surrenders the accommodation.

Surrendering the rent earlier than "promised", will not attract any cost since the rent was not under "contract" for six months.
This s not a CONTRACT since it lacks all the essential elements of a contract (offer, acceptance and consideration).
That is, the tenant cannot be made to pay for the additional three months he has not stayed in the house (by virtue of leaving earlier than said).

This is different from a situation where there was a "Contract" to let the place for six months (offer made, offer accepted and payment/consideration exchanged hands) and the tenant, suddenly decides to leave before the contract period ends (within three months) thereby leaving the owner in the lurch, so to speak!
In this case, the owner is at liberty to recoup the cost for the full six months, as contracted between the two.

This is not news-worthy!

Until hear that Nnamdi Kanu comes to address them in that 'open gathering' of more than 10 people, then l will take them serious.

Instead of all this meaningless gatherings and chest-beating ultimatums, just pack yourself into Bus and head for Onitsha...and dont come back again.
That is it; Beerfraud has come to being.

Fundamentalist:
Rubbish

between someone that says God is one (i.e Muslim) and someone who says God is three in one (1+1+1=1) (Christians) , i wonder who the PAGAN is if not Christians

I forgot to add what was the name of the church that jesus built ?

Ignorant follower of a Pagan Muhammed the Paedophile!

Being "One' is a figure of Speech that indicates the "Close relationship and Unity of Purpose" between God (the Father), Jesus Christ (His Son) and the active Force of Jehovah (The Holy Ghost).
It is not a PHYSICAL definition, Muumu!

That you worship an Arab murderer and Paedophile who asks you to commit terrorist activities all over the place, is not my concern. undecided
