Ticha: Quite a few things wrong with it. 1. There's no visa category called employment visa (you can easily check this on the INZ website) 2. No visa - none whatsoever details the wages paid on the visa document 3. The designation also does not exist on the NZ skills list - see link to the list here. https://skillshortages.immigration.govt.nz/ 4. Unless you're being paid over $130k pa and you work in a critical field like health, Viticulture and allied agri fields and IT, no other work visas have been issued since April 2020.
Again - if you have not followed any of the process I listed in the previous post then the visa is not real. C'mon people think na...if it's so easy to get a work visa, everyone will have it! The agents that keeps swindling people are heartless and preying on people's desperation. Can;t they be arrested? |

Very pathetically slow pace We celebrate mediocrity in Nigeria The stretch of the bridge from Adeniji to Iyana Oworonshoki is 11Km The portion being repaired is from Adeniji to Adekunle exit, which is less than half of the 11KM The Ministry is repairing it for a huge sum of N18,000,000,000 (N18 billion) That small portion is taking 6 months Who caused Nigeria to celebrate absurdity? That portion shouldn't exceed 60 days for repairs |

valencia2012: If builders, house owners and contractors can chose between aluminium sheets and stone coated roofing due to finance or choice, why is there no such alternative to POP? My thinking is because Okorommaduekwe did it, therefore Gbadamosi, Osunbor and Idongesit must do it. Just like iron wrought, chrome or stainless rails. Not because its cheap or expensive. Some have added penthouses to buildings but don't know it's meaning or usefulness, because they just want the penthouse title added when describing their edifice. Its a matter of mentality and dynamism. Says who? The ceiling of upper floor or floor before the roof doesn't necessarily have to be done with POP. There are different kinds of ceiling finishing that are very durable |

When we protested in the south, you guys didn't care. We protested against bad governance, but some of your leaders brainwashed you into thinking we wanted regime change.
Even if we wanted a regime change, wouldn't that be appropriate, judging by the level of insecurities in Nigeria at the moment?

diordaves: But the N4,000 per square meter for POP includes labour cost and all associated cost.
But the price you quoted (N27,000) plasterboard is just for the plasterboard only. You still need installation materials cost, screeding (finishing) materials and labour cost. By the time you factor these in, the cost difference may not be as clear cut. We've been here before just recently.
So to get a clearer perspective, how much will YOU charge per square meter using plasterboard? Or better put; how much do YOU charge using plasterboard? Give this figure and if the price is truly cheaper, I'm sure a Nairalander may take up your quote and come back to give a rating.
So come out transparently and quote jobs using plasterboard as an alternative. Only then can you kill off the debate. Same for the adhesive brand your are 'promoting'. Forget about that plasterboard 'thingy' It's more expensive than using the POP Cement, Top bond and the POP Paint. I'm at that stage now and I've compared both options. I've spent about ₦2m to screed all internal and external walls, including ceiling POP cast design. I got a quote of ₦8,500 per square metre for plasterboard (material and Labour). The size of the ceiling is 7.5m*30m=225sqm. Let's do the maths ₦8500*225sqm=₦1,912,500 But I will be achieving much more with about ₦2,100,000 My ₦2,100,000 spent covers: All external wall Screeding (from roof to the ground) All internal walls (save areas with wall tiles) Ceiling of the entire upper floor |

One4me: I think the price will go down a bit, after the new year. Reason being that every year, around October, November and into December, Prices of building materials always go up because there is pressure on purchases as everyone wants to finish their project and move into their New House on New Years day.
I will always pause major purchases around this time and wait till January when most people have done their rush, even sellers are more responsive in the New year when sales are down and everyone is broke, spent or more concerned about School fees.
At the bolded: Will this increase not have an inflationary effect on house prices /house rent, as we move into the new year or would people build/repair at such exorbitant price and still rent at the same price of last year? Till now, we're still chasing tenants to pay rent at old rate. Many are hiding under the pandemic by not paying |

gbadexy: I think he should be able to do it. If they can use raw cement to dress cement plaster, they could use pop cement and portland cement mix. We would try it definitely for fencing. Material and Labor for Screeding my building has cost us over ₦2m if not more Pop Cement, Top bond, Pop Emulsion Paint, Fillers, binding wire, marine board cost cost over ₦1.6m. Labour is over ₦700k. 6 months ago, we would have spent half of this amount for same job when POP cement cost just ₦4000 |

gameboy55: wall screed 2m, damn
there is a very very cheap way to achieve dat with less than 50k (depending on the size of your project) and to me its best, becos it does not peel off after sometime like that of top bond nd pop combination
in south here, its called plaster screeding, WHY because, its goes along with your plastering
as soon as the walls is plastered and allowed to dry (to the point if you apply force on it won't spoil the job) you mix few quantity of pop cement with water nd add a little quantity of black cement nd stir properly
use a screeding brush to apply the solution on your plastered walls and smooth with sand paper wen dry
its very beautiful (very smooth nd cellophane like walls) its the cheapest method you can get nd it last longer than top bond method which paints usually peels off on most occasions
I used just one bag of pop cement for both inside, outside, and parapet screeding for my 4bedroom bungalow with labour not up to 40k. It was done by those doing the plastering
the attacted fence including the four sides inside fence walls (100 by 50) was done with half bag of pop cement. labour was less than 30k. This is interesting and worth giving a try. For my fencing, I can try this |

ceelog: For screeding... @Aventures and @gbadexy had provided these answers before. 1.for a smooth plastered wall, use two coats of primer (thick) paint 2. Then use sand paper to smoothen the wall. 3. Paint with matte or satin.
I am doing these for all non critical rooms and wait for POP for living area. Of I had seen this earlier, may be I wouldn't have invested about ₦2m on Wall Screed. I'm particular about cosmetic cracks that the plasterers always blame on plaster sand. Hence, opted for POP. I'll definitely use satin paint |
