The problem is they’ll still get patronage.

That's it

Nigerians can cope with anything

Another bad news on where we're heading.

100% price increase. Like POP cement price moving from ₦5,000 to ₦9500

Takoro13:
Government silence is enough proof sr. Cement and the likes are amongst national natural resources which is known to be a blessing from God to the citizens. Why has government chose to neglect their role in controlling commodity price of such goods while they aware of resultant of hick in petrol price on good and services. Why has government chose to allow cement producers to sell out larger part of their products? What hasn't government talk or set up committee to look into the reason for this crazy increment?

Oga mi, all these you know. You only want me talk ni

Peace

Maybe opening the land borders can help

Well, it’s good (or let me say fair) you’re experiencing this as a homeowner and not as a contractor/builder.

Imagine you’re a builder/engineer receiving fund from a client in diaspora and all these happened, what will you do?
Some of these things are what contractors/engineers experience on projects.

It's amazing how quickly things can change and affect planning.

Last 2019, when I thought things were going to remain unchanged, I was Globetrotting.

Started from Journey in September from Dubai, landed in Sydney (Australia) before resting in Auckland (New Zealand)

See me sitting comfortably in the biggest commercial Airplane in the world, Airbus A380 and getting served a great meal by Emirates Airline. (Ticket cost alone was ₦1.6m)

By December, it was another adventure from Istanbul to Paris to Brussels enjoying my Christmas at the popular Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame de Paris.

Dollar was ₦360
Euro was ₦398
Pounds was ₦450

Those in the Diaspora too can see and feel what's happening across the globe and can't blame contractors, especially regarding price control

Freestainworld:
most priceless gift right now

Thank God I don't eat Garlic and onions

Jasobry:
I was told today by a cement distributor that the current price of cement is caused by them(major distributor) and that the cabals want them to maximise profit for now. He said the government wont interfare,because they are involved.

It's just annoying.

Budget ₦10 for a project.

Start the project and spend ₦50 without still completing the project.

That is NIGERIA

When we say middle men are the cause of price hike, we are right.

Bought cables today from Lagos Island and after agreeing on price, transfer was done. As my staff was about packing up, the guy said it's no longer the price and decided to add ₦3000 extra on the price of 16mm cables.

I became upset and immediately asked for refund.

Bought cables worth ₦1,100,000 from the guy and he thought I was desperate, then opted to cheat.

Everything is not just about the government, but greed of some of our fellow Nigerians.

SurveyorGeo:
A Concrete rumour has it that cost of doing land documentation in Lagos will increase by 100% to 200% next year. (Please don't quote me, just for your information)
Attached file is the current official cost in Eti Is a L G A.

Thunder fire them

Physical planning already did same

It was Fashola that synchronized everything to 3% , now this puppet want to make people suffer

The outcome will be that no one will want to perfect titles again

SurveyorGeo:
Half plot with old building on it. for sale #6million, Alapere

zuraking:
solar system is the future of Nigeria jagajaga electricity. I laugh at people who have money and still spend thousands on fuel daily to power generator.

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.

EgunMogaji2:

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
Raji Rasaki (Military)
Sir Micheal Otedola (civilian)
Col Olagunsoye oyinlola (Military)

Bola Tinubu (Civilian)

Cindino20:
pop 9k

July, it was around ₦5000

The middle men and distributor's greed.

This has nothing to do with Buhari or recession

Tomorrow we move

Going to get more tomorrow.

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
