I use diesel and I was expecting Atleast 900-1000 for there to be a significant crash !

Thanks boss.
Let's analyse it.

What makes brick more expensive.

1. Block is about 5k - 6k per m2 while brick is about 10k - 15k

2. Block has zero cost for transportation while brick could cost as much as 200k or more to transport the entire bricks needed on a 3 bedroom bungalow (about 20,000 pcs).... If you're in the same state where it's being produced or millions if its Abuja to Lagos and the project is a duplex.

3. For conduit pipes, you break blocks and plaster back, while you'll need mechanical tools and or accessories and ducts to make that possible in brick.

4. Labour for block is readily available at about N1000 per m2 while Labour for brick is scarse and more expensive (even worse if its the local home baked bricks)

5. Any error on laying blocks can be concealed with plastering, while you'll need to condemn the brick and start afresh or end up with a bad looking structure. WINK!

6. For the locally made bricks, available of clay soil is an issue....

You're right.
Brick makes the indoor cooler on hot days and makes it warmer on cold night.

We all shd be using brick in 9ja... But the cost is killing ooh... Lagos Poly started with brick at their permanent site but had to abandon the project and completed it with blocks.

I'll like to read about your research, we can learn from it also.
Thanks.

This is completely false my oga . I will Runs project soon and you will see how much it cost to do it . I will drop every details here . All in plain open

Madam to be honest I’m into a haulage business . For me okada and keke business are no no . Na stress cause they’re not task based transport business they’re passenger based transport business which will make it hard for you to block all loopholes.

Cancel out keke, okada and taxi . Move to haulage and logistics then I can teach you how to without stress .

No. And you don’t have to build before you scale. With the #25M you can build a business, scale it such that you don’t have to sleep at the site.
In fact, the business runs whether you are there or not. A money making machine is what an ideal business such be, when scaled.

You’re right but ego won’t let him accept it

First thing I told myself is this business must continue with or without me . People in that business before are the one who do it all but I made sure I had a capable experienced hand from the beginning I spelt his roles he controls the other team I pay his salary and theirs I control things with technology from my phone . I just check in physically to debrief . Atones I travel for other things and all still works . I said the way you start is the way it will continue . Be willing to add extra team now and pay them so your business won’t pay for it

I know many Nigerians that can’t even travel to next town cause if their business

Well these just shows one thing in the otedola family , weak leadership of the home , we know you love your children but you didn’t train them well enough to be smart and decisive, you let them have their way at everything just because you want to be a caring loving husband. The result is this , a child that is useless to herself . Temi is only different cause she’s a bit of a shy personality. Money can’t fix these things you just have to know when to love your children and when to be strict to them do they can be useful to themselves. This is becoming embarrassing to their family name , only Temi is saving it a bit . I wish her luck in her love life .

Religion / Re: Is It Wrong To Confront A Pastor Politely by Dirkcoyt: 10:17am On Mar 26, 2023
You’re a reckless woman, a naive woman, a stupid woman, you’re everything a man should never marry if he wants to go far in life and if he wants so sort of peace knowing fully well his wife can handle the home.

You carried your marriage matter to pastor cause you worship pastor , now same pastor attacked you yet you said they removed the mic when you were about to speak can’t you see how you brought shame and disrespect to your family ? And you’re still saying you want to confront him politely , you’re saying no one can confront him cause what he says comes to pass , where do men find naive and dumb women like you Omo I rather stay single than marry someone like you Omo you’re not intelligent at all!

Your mumu too much. You’re timid, lack self esteem, and not smart obviously. The best bet for you is to discover yourself, reinvent yourself and go wan aura of self respect so people can treat you highly . Omo I had to login in to comment after many months of not commenting on this platform.

If you love yourself get out of that church, and stay off church for awhile till you reinvent yourself cause I’m sure you don’t even know who you are yet and this will affect you in every area of your life people will never respect you ! That’s why your husband don’t even respect you!

And some people saying the husband should meet the pastor ?? The husband has no business with him. The stupid pastor can go Bleep himself

I don’t think cedar is more durable than mahogany or oaks.
Just that cedar is not locally available in Nigeria, so even when you find one. It could be more expensive than the better locally available options.
Also know that any untreated wood, whether cedar or mahogany would not withstand weather elements for long.
Thank you very much . Na second time you go save me be this with your tips . First time was with shipping from alibaba.

So you suggest a locally sourced treated mahogany wood will do the trick still in naija. Thanks again

Family / Re: Marriage: My Mother Inlaw Calls My Wife Everyday Is It Proper? by Dirkcoyt: 1:17pm On Nov 08, 2022
Many people in the world are naive and suffer greater consequences for things they didn’t take serious .

When you take a walk it’s is not the big tree that make you stagger to fall , it is the tiniest of stubborn root that makes us chip stagger and stumble on our way to success.

We all can see the big tree so we avoid it but those small stubborn roots on floor we cannot see them cause they’re too tiny . Hence, they’re always the ones to fall us off .

I had a similar encounter with a girl . I instantly saw this and ended the relationship immediately cause I know where it will end . They always happen like harmless situation but the greater danger is to dominate your marriage .

Cause to be honest with you . There is no way I’m the world they won’t discussion your marriage or family . Things you both adjust on will get conflicted views from her mother . She will run your home to ruins . Nearest is dearest . The one she becomes nearer to becomes dearer too . You both deserve some respect . Freedom shouldn’t mock boundaries

The wife will be naive and wouldn’t believe her mother will mislead her . So whatever her mother says will always be right even if you tell her not to do it . This will lead to constant bickering and when the Centre can’t hold . There is a divorce , the kids will suffer , you both will suffer emotionally , financially and trust will be a hard thing to give your next partner . And your mental health may never be the same .


It’s better to nip it in the bud now if you want your marriage to work . I wish you the best . Your concerns are valid don’t be naive .

So I’m currently in jos and in the hotel I’m lodged I discovered there are no water heaters in the room . Yet I get hot water then I saw two water heaters hanging on the overhead tankers supplying all rooms directly . I’m thinking this is cheaper for commercial buid or residential sef . Rather than buying for each rooms . This is not something I’ve seen in ibadan where I reside tho .

To be honest I’ve never seen such a rude business owner online before .

I was trying to order a type of south African bricks burnt jasper or redwood . Then I called and he asked me to chat him up on whatsapp to show him my specification which I did . And he said he will get back to me trying to contact Lagos store of theirs . I waited one hour no response only for him to say sorry he forgot to revert to me which I just let it slide that he may have a lot in his mind . Then I asked which is available then he just said I should chat their Lagos director like I don dey disturb am . Omo I shock say ahn ahn shey this guy think say e dey do me favor ni grin

The brick business is Faradng.

To think I saw a lady made a post on one of his thread that he’s cocky and rude and I felt maybe the lady was reading to much meaning to his post on Nairaland .

I told him it was not a nice way to talk to people he just reacted with a thumbs up . I’m like Omo humans dey o! Same man hustling Nairaland with post for sales ?grin you will actually think he’s a serious person .

I saw the NnPC depot fence and that fence has been standing for years then I had a thought in my head .

I see many house make their home fences with the normal 9 inches sand blocks . Now the problem I found out was most home owners tend to just plaster the front of the house and if they’re above average they plaster the inside of the fence and probably paint it if they’re comfortable financially . Sometimes financial laziness makes them procrastinate plastering in and out of fence and paints them after all we don do fence .

Then I looked at the advantages between red brick fences as seen at the NnPC depot and the typical 9 inches sand blocks

Red brick advantages I noticed

1.expensive in buy at first but when you consider cost of plastering to laborers ,trips of sands and how many bags of cement to be used in the end it’s cheaper cause I asked around how much is a brick and it goes 550 per one .

2. You’re saving money on plastering and labor pay

3. You’re only laying the blocks no addons.

4. You won’t have faded color due to rain with algae’s on the wall compared to sand blocks .

5. You will have a unique fence

6. It last very long also .

Disadvantage

1. Monotonous color

2. At first buy not cheap for kobo builder

What do you think ?

I couldn’t take the picture of the Nnpc fence but I was able to search on the internet for pictures from their fence

The safest and most secured way is to have the items shipped to a trusted Nigerian shipper over there. He will do the quality inspection and then ship them to you in a consolidated container. The advantage is that the shipper can easily return the items for refund if they do not meet agreed specifications and quality.
Moreover since those are heavy items, you save on shipping cost from using container instead of air cargo. They would charge per cubic meter of certain weight limit.

Wow ! You’ve just solved a big puzzle have been battling with over a year now . God bless you !
