I hate generator noise

Jasobry:
A distributors sale's girl told me that her boss informed them that prices Will drop by January

And I don go charter 100 bags at ₦3200

Intend to start tiling around Christmas

spyder880:
That's very good, I expect a slight pull back in the coming days, I am not buying much now.

Many dealers in Lagos now have stock. Went round now, but these guys have refused to drop prices.

EgunMogaji2:
Excellent. I think I saw similar in Lagos somewhere.

I salute use of technology.

In all our stations Across Nigeria, it is fully Solar.

We are done with Lagos and entering Oyo State fully now.

Will be in Ibadan, around Iwo Road on Friday to negotiate acquisition of another property for development.

The one in this attachment was commissioned on 1st July, 2020 in Ikorodu, Ogolonto. The panels are on the canopy

EgunMogaji2:
Two tank stand was N105,000 using full length pipe. But I’m in ordinary Ibadan

Inside Life

Cindino20:
Yea..I paid around 3500 in Feb or so..thats almost 260% increase in price..considering I used 90 bags or so...that brings in additional cost of 540 000 Naira...Truth be told...this is not sustainable..this is hyperinflation.

At this rate how will civil servants afford decent home with their salary?

A lot of projects have stopped

Dijita:
In 1991 there was no Lekki. They call it Sand field at the time. Victoria Garden City was the big boys destination at the time. I think Sand field became Lekki during Abdulsalam to Obasanjo regime

You're mixing it up.

Lekki Peninsula has always been there, belonging to LASG/NTDA.

The Sand Field you're talking about (Maroko) was demolished under Military Administrator Raji Rasaki, (1991) what we now call Oniru Estate

Lekki Peninsula is on the left, Maroko/Sand Field is on the right

From 1990-1999

Cindino20:

July, it was around ₦5000

The middle men and distributor's greed.

This has nothing to do with Buhari or recession

Wanna close my eyes and do what I need to do, then move on.

Believing God for 31/1/21 to move in

Dijita:
Idumota is a name that always give me some feeling. It was the place I shell out #25000 to buy Sonny TV and VCR when a plot of land was going for #12000 in Abijo. Every time I am in Lagos island the memory always hunt me. The foolishness of my youth. I could have bought NEC or Goldstar(LG) for half the price and be watching that plot(with a 4 room face me face you) appreciating today

Yoruba says, the money first made by small pikin, he will use it to buy Akara, then later realize he could have invested it

sinorte:
Thank you.

I suppose that should be the Jankara market?

Yes

sinorte:
Please where is the major market for electrical fittings in Lagos situated?

Oroyinyin, Idumagbo, just before Idumota.

I bought all the cables I posted on line yesterday there

It was easy cause my office is on the Island.

It is better than going to Alaba market

omanzo02:
Lucky you! I got it for ₦4100.

I thought the man wanted to cheat me oooo

So, I didn't buy more than 100 bags

shadeyinka:
I hope I am not being "tribalistic"!
For a National affair: 90% of these women come from my village!

Abi I no try?

The organizers are very myopic and tribalistic.

They could have made it diverse, if they have sense

Alex reporters, how much will it cost for me to get an award?

Villagemeat:
Let's see the lips

Maka why?

michlins:
sure it is. My client saw and liked the gate and asked me to make one for him. Here's the current level I'm at now. Painting should start tomorrow afternoon

If you're based in Lagos, with your level of enlightenment, you would have blown big time.

May God help us and save this country for the sake of genuine hustlers

Took the strong steps of just closing my eyes

Bought 200 bags of cement @₦3200 (Lafarge)
Bought 100 bags of POP cement @₦9,000
Bought 50 Glova Paint
Bought 12 Vinko bond
More than enough original Coleman Cables (1.5mm, 2.5mm and 4mm)

The amount spent alone today is enough to complete a foundation for a 4 bedroom bungalow in some parts of NIGERIA

to repair a small portion is costing N18 billion.

Fashola Minister, I hail oo

Righteousness89:
Suspending him is fine...
He did not represent his office well at all..

If we were in a saner clime, he would honorably send in his resignation letter.

As we know , no one Resigns Here!!

He should be sacked

Abuse of office, dereliction of duty, setting bad example and abuse of Naira

This is pathetic.
he should have resigned

IMO01:
Olosho

What?

n3xt:
Board only.

6k as at the last time you made enquiries.

What a country.
Between August to December, ₦2500 increment

n3xt:
Haha! I started exploring options since 2013. I didn’t allow people to convince me otherwise.

Plasterboard (whether you call it fake or cheap abi na Chinese) was used on my projects and we’ve not had any issues.

Current price at Omega is N8,500

______
Pics - Plasterboard installation inside NextHome H52 (Dec 2014)

The ₦8500 comprises what?

megacontrol:
What are the alternatives to achieving same or similar ceiling as POP? Gypsum boards?

With this volume of work you have, it may be worth it to explore if those are less impacted by price increase.
May also be possible to collaborate with others to ship stuffs in.

If our builders can provide tips on how to work around this crazy POP costs we are witnessing currently.

I think someone already did the analysis and said the Gypsum board is more expensive.

I don't mind exploring.

It's costing me ₦1,300,000 and I'll love alternative, which I can then screed

1stNumeroUno:
My Oga, the disparity in price of Cement indicates that the hike is not from producer(s). A dealer told me this week that the middle men/distributors are the ones driving this particular crazy price. He confirmed that prices is still N2300-N2450 from producer. Someone corroborated it on a forum this week that a friend of his has made over N10m from this 'madness'.
So let's excuse the FG and talk to ourselves. We're bunch of greedy and callous people.

The government has its numerous shortcomings too o and we won't stop talking about them.

Yes, it's the middle men doing this.

My block producer confirmed same thing from Lafarge.

Same old price.

May God help Nigeria

coldcandy:
Those pakistani cab drivers!
My first trip to Dubai (the cabdriver was so friendly and talkative enough to understand it was my first time in dubai), the guy call me my bill in dollars, airport to bur dubai. I told him to repeat it 3 times. The 3rd time he said dirhams.

There are many migrants in UAE. Indians and Pakistan citizens are more than other races

DancingSkeleton:
how big is your project?

Just a family dwelling at the front and block of two flats at the rear.

Cause we did piling, spent almost ₦10m on Foundation alone

What's happening with BUA and Ibeto Cement?
