I was taking a walk yesterday . I saw this and took a picture

Somewhere in Nigeria a column is born

sonnie10:


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 !

To be honest entering a storey building dey fear me . My grandpa own a 20 rooms storey build with a decking typical ring road ibadan style and it’s still standing for 50 years counting now ! My grandpa was just a company mechanic with leventis then with just the usual standard 6 education . To be honest I don’t think he gave his building to any structural engineer or what not and that house still remains solid till now likewise all other build around that area . They were mostly handled by the baba latis. I have never had fear standing on what seems like the 3rd layer where the decking is where I can peep into palms mall and chill to have a view of cocoa house and liberty stadium but I must say I do be shit scared of stepping into the so called engineers that build modern storey buildings nowadays .

Now judging from these factors . I don’t want to believe the Baba latis know more than the trained certified engineers I just want to believe the difference between then and now are as follows;

1. Good quality of materials (when I hit the walls of my grandpa house and feel the sound I can tell the difference between the new ones and old ones , when I see the iron bars it’s more thicker and stronger than new ones)
2. These people never even did soil test etc yet it’s solid so what could we say ? Too much of education ruining it ? Or what ?
3. Experience is lacking in nowadays ?
4. Before you become a Baba lati then I think you will have served your boss so longtime before you start handling projects of your own but nowadays we rush to handle gigantic projects with less experience

I really don’t know why buildings are falling but we must look at what we did then that’s different now .

To think if you start from the very beginning of ring road ibadan to challenge, Oke ado , all you see are storey buildings all these old people built storey building like it’s nothing and it was all built by Baba latis . In modern times we struggle to even build bungalows and we claim we’ve arrived . And only for the few amongst us that can afford to build a storey building we still couldn’t build it properly only for it to fall. Naija which way now I’m tired !

PeaceJoyLove:
Truth be said, Nigerian teachers in public schools are below standard. Really, they don't deserve more than they are presently paid. In fact, their salaries should be cut down and the useless ones should be sacked. They are not competent. This is the truth.

You’re very very stupid ! I was trained with a teachers salary all I’ve gotten was through a teachers salary don’t you ever ridicule teachers again you idiot! I’m not a teacher but was raised with one !

Itsrm:


Look at what he posted and what you posted. Do they look the same to you?

I will not use the one you posted in my build even if it was free.

Tell me what’s the difference? I see no difference don’t let them whine you .

Myzubby:
We have Turkish doors available for sell.

Location is Anambra state.
09165705880

I’m sorry I don’t understand somethings in Nigeria . You quoted the first door as 250k Turkish door . I also bought something similar just this Friday at abayomi iwo road in ibadan and it’s Turkish door made by Anotec . I got it for 160k. How come this prices are way ridiculous or are you online vendors ripping people off ?

EgunMogaji2:



When I paid N204,000 for 20 ton granite I knew we’ve entered another dimension.

Historically is this how things just goes up in price in Nigeria?

When it goes up it never comes down sadly .

Even if the government reduces it the sellers won’t . Na we Dey do ourselves .

michlins:
When security is a priority, here's an idea of what you can do.

Trust me,no thief can succeed in breaking through this one

And yes, it's openable in case of emergency

Baba don’t be too sure ooo. I don see house wey the burglar carry engine oil rub for body so e go dey slippery and e come carry pestle wey dem Dey take pound yam . Naso he use the pestle take pound those edges wey those hinge extension go dey .

Na gala like this the thing comot for ground . Raid the house.

No try Nigerian burglar ooooo Baba . Just say Make God no put their interest for our house .

beejay1:
Hello House, my engineer gave a quote of 150k as cost of German floor for my foundation (15.5m x 11.6m). This cost will aso include foundation ramming. Is this fair?

A bit much . I did 13x21m for 180k in ibadan I’m October last year for labor so I believe fort our size it shouldn’t be up to that since we are talking labor not materials

michlins:
I just want to show you something beautiful

Wow ! This is too beautiful

Don’t get lost in marriage son

It’s still a December 2021 talks so far

id911:


Court of Arbitration or any other international court is rubbish meant for weak nation. Russia won't obey any decision by such Court. In fact, there's an unwritten law not know to people, the 5 permanent members of the UN Security Council can't be harassed by these or similar courts. Even when they're taken to this Court, they can disobey their verdict and nothing, I mean nothing absolutely will happen.

He’s just spitting yarks. Court of arbitration? We are talking war you’re talking about court. They joined the court of arbitration they can revoke their membership easily . That guy is so dumb .

Kingpin1000:

And the court of Arbitration will sell the gas to Europe abi.
You think like a child in kindergarten. You see a man who has said to hell with the western govt and you want to take the man to court of Arbitration. A man that can end civilisation as you know it.

Thank God someone finally said this . When I saw his comment I’m like why is this person so stupid and retarded I felt like he’s not worthy to use a phone yet . His reasoning is so elementary I felt like slapping him through my phone ! Oh God!!! Arrrggghhhh!

You people too Dey whine unasef. Person boldly chatted someone and said he won’t pay a dime not even the attorney general of the federation will make him pay and you’re all here discussing about 1m etc Omo this guy will only understand only one way and the way is written in Matthew 11 vs 12

Life is simple we make it hard.

For me the hallmark of person is being a able to keep his word. Being principled and being disciplined. These are what I look for in a person .

Look for this in humans then you’re relieved cause when a human have three attributes he doesn’t want problems for himself . And stop changing hands every time , have a team you can rely .

No matter how good your work is I already have a POP artisan , electrical ,plumber , welders and iron benders , builders and architect , roofer .

No matter how good you are I won’t change these set of guys for anything cause they don’t stress me they give me peace I can give them total money and sleep they will do it .

But you see Carpentar a and aluminum I also rotate these guys cause it seems in the creation of this professions in Nigerian they swore to them not to keep promises these two professions disappoint a lot irrespective of their age bracket . As a matter of fact I took soldiers to discipline one aluminum Baba of 58 years after saying what can I do ehn emi? Stil went to report at police station I still tip the police there those ones still instruct am to fix it next day or risk arrest .

The truth is if you have to live with Nigerians be very wicked to them I was first nice then learnt then I knew why bosses are always tough on their employees in Nigerian cause these people just have I don’t care attitudes and mentally weak and don’t keep words bonds or agreement till you go bonkers on them .

Before I give you job I always played tapes of people I’ve dealt with to warn them ahead . Do were and get were .

soundOsonic:
Na them put wife for my hand, as I dey bring hookup babes, what broke the camel back was when I brought an unknown cousin and they recognize her.
I still wan enter because, I no fit pay for her TF and no do

Them give me wan girl like this, wey Sabi well well, she don born like 3 for me now.

But I still dey do small small hookup and my popsy and mumsy know

But my wife wey dey do like mumu think say girls wey I dey bring for my papa house na my brother course mate

I as a person don’t like marriage and won’t marry but your last line is very disrespectful to the mother of your kids . For clout or what ? Why would you say your wife wey Dey do like mumu? Show some respect and grow up man !

caracas:

They removed hitler
They removed saddam Hussein
They removed Ghadafi…..
They can remove Putin if they want,
This Ukraine war has shown the world that Russia n Putin were over rated…

You don’t know your history .

The EAst and WEst removed hitler not the west as you’ve said

And Hitler thought Russia was overrated when they fought Finland and tried to move in on the Russians before his problem started I hope that history teach a lesson .

And the rest of the country you listed are not a global super power in UN Security Council or with Nuclear weapon or energy resources player on the big stage .

That’s the difference

caracas:

This was a pawn by the west to destroy Russia n the mumu Putin fell for it
Russia is doomed ,the economic sanctions will increase,war crimes have been committed n Putin would be held responsible……
The way I see it the west might even demand for regime change in Russia…..

I lost brain cells reading this especially the last part . Do you even know how the world works ? They will demand regime change from Russia ? They will demand it from who exactly Navalhny ??

sonnie10:


Blocks should be least of worries in a building this size. Even if it is additional 1000 blocks (#250k), that is relatively not much compared to other materials involved.

I know what I’m saying brother a bungalow of my size which is similar or bigger than that over 5000 blocks was used now multiply by 330# that’s a lot already . Then iron of 1.5 tones it’s no joke. The main aspect of this build if he’s going to do it solid

Cement,
Sand
Granite
Iron
Wooding for Form works
Casement windows with burglary
Plumbing and electrical

He can’t negotiate it less they will take a chunk .

yemi2plus:


Yes, and I have absolutely no experience.

That build is very huge and believe me when you said you’re just a freelance book designer I felt I should advise.

To be honest I’m currently on such type of build I think I’m 80% ready . And I can tell you many water don pass under bridge . And at some point I felt trapped and no way out but I’m thankful that I live in a simple that I don’t have to rush about this one .

Well I got ideas and architect interpreted it well and it had every feature of a dream home . In 3D it was so fine I always looked at it and I never knew in reality it will be that complex and require a lot of financial base . I could have got stuck cause prices of materials are not fair and you may think you are prepared but believe me Nigerian market will surprise you .

So I will advise you from experience that why don’t you have a simple modest one first since the lad is huge .I can see two buildings there do the back one first then calmly you can start the bigger dream home without pressure and stress . Shalom .

yemi2plus:


Thank you for your input.

The land measures a total area of 1247.556sqm (about 135 X 100ft)

I plan to only use half of the land right now with two buildings. The main building, that's the four bedroom apartment and two mini Flats behind it.

I want to advise you . I will ask a question is this your first build ?

yemi2plus:
Good evening everyone,

What do you mean by aswear tracking software my oga

EgunMogaji2:
I just paid N100K for 10 tons of granite in Ibadan. I paid N74K about a month ago.

Good luck to those starting new builds. We’ve entered into new territory.

Wow !!! Maybe they sell based on location since you’re on the akala way I still got 20 tons granite for 120k in October ! Wow Nigeria I don’t understand ooooo

rotecch77:


At bolded it’s fall on govt on my side too bcs Nigeria economy decides this

God help us all my Oga. It is well .

rotecch77:


If home owners like you can afford to pay premium for Labour like 7000 -10,000 per day is not bad others can follow same
At the end of the day 3bedroom will cost btw 20-25m to build.
Minimum wages salary earner will also step up there game so that they can be an home owner too
Nigeria don beta be dat

It’s still fall on the government.

If I’m to ask how much do you think is fair to pay per hour to those laborers please answer

rotecch77:


Infact it’s serious issue oo
Now ordinary labour (helper ) collecting 3500-4500
Bricklayer 4500-5000 per 5-6hrs

My supplier called me this morning that TMT tiger rod is now 470k per tn

f

You said ordinary labor and I laugh . Bro those people you called ordinary are the engine rooms of every construction so please remove that word ordinary .

And 4500 is no even justifying the work in respect to pay . The youth are realizing they’re in modern slavery thanks to the government!

They will lift blocks , lift concrete , mix sand for good solid 8 hours just to get 4500? That’s an average of 563naira ! Bro it’s slavery you and I that have good education and good job will never accept that . And I’ve done those cheap labors so I know whats up .

I left my base to the base of my laborers and bricklayers December they were very happy ! I’m talking a distance of an hour inside ibadan ! Then I knew not even the money we pay them makes them happy as the visit I gave them which made them feel happy !

I watch this boys climbing roofs and supplying concrete to their boss . Please 4500 is not even worth the effort they contribute in construction if we are being fair ! This boys working in sun and rain and we chill in ACs. It always break my heart . Nigeria is unfair to us ! The labors in ibadan take 2500 now imagine what 2500 can carter for !

When we start paying per hour that is when we will know why the youth are no more interested in apprenticeship or artisan works . We know why people have suddenly realize it’s a modern slavery !

If I’m to ask how much do you think is fair to pay per hour to those laborers please answer .

We no Dey try for this country
