Please where is Umuahia ultra modern market located. Let me see if it the same place I buy materials.

Mostly likely same since Umuahia has just one main major market...I think Ubani road Umuawa.

Enyinne:
Hi spider
I hv a project am overseeing for my mum . Its on finishing level and i will be taken over from the engineer since he is done with the structural. Project is situated in Umuahia . Pls where can i buy pop cement, tiles and internal doors .
Kindly share with me

You should be able to buy anything at Umuahia ultra modern market like they call it.but if you want to be confused with options then try Milverton/Eziukwu road Aba ...otherwise Faulks road heading towards Ariaria international.

Everything is on same street and mostly direct importers .
Goodluck and all the best

This rape issue is really getting out of hand oo.. nothing is being done to curb the constant issue of raping women..

How on Earth are you gonna rape a little kid of 12..it's unimaginable tho..so as for those always saying the woman/victim of rape should put on a modest clothes..
Pls did the gal also tempted the guy through her choice of clothes or he couldn't resist his sexual urge?
Watch how he is gonna get caught and I hope he spends the rest of his life in prison..

Thanks to SM and more different news options. we hear more and more of such atrocious acts been commited ..been going on unreported.

I will never lay blame on a victim who is also a minor..an adult should have self control and be able to comport themselves at all times.

bukolo:
Please be careful o.

Called the number, they said minimum you can buy is 100 bags.
I am not sure a whole company will sell that amount and they don't do POD.

I once reported them to the company last year, yet this people still continue.

A word is enough for ........

You are right.that page is fake. real one is Bua Cement NG .I doubt any of the cement companies has Direct to consumers sales.i mean without intermediaries or some kind of purchase embargoes.spoof pages everywhere.

I think the person who quoted you is the same as the person he wants to 'refer' you to.

Seems to be same person using the two monikers. Do your due diligence.

That's right....

And you believe sir that I don’t have the fund to handle the roof installation despite showing that I paid a QS here 200k just to prepare me a bill (in less than 48 hours) to bid for another project

Even if I don’t make money from my Ibadan project, at worse I’d earn at least 300k per unit on the 6 buildings we raised between May - July 2021.

We didn’t get here because of the refund. We got here because it’s hard to find a replacement for me and some think I deserved to be punished and made unhappy too.
Otherwise those whose quote are lower than mine are supposed to have easily fill in the gap without the need to pay additional extras on the project.
At least I was still selling block and cement 200 and 3,000 as at the date the contract was terminated.

It’s not village people. I knew most people here don’t like me to succeed. Even my client told me their names even before we begin the project and I knew it’s a thing of joy for them to see the project crumble.

_______

On issue of prudency, pls sir can you mention one material, I didn’t buy on the project as at when due.

I bought 90% of reinforcement for the project during foundation stage. Chekitaut supplied 70% of the granite used on the project before we break ground. We produced all the blocks needed for the project before the end of May. We were even selling to other people later. I bought 90% of the formwork required for the project before we started the foundation.

What else should I have bought that I didn’t buy or supplied as at when needed?

Many people do want you to suceed...your client is one of them....I am also one of them...do it,but do it right at all times...sht happens but fix it.
Remember i did ask you to talk to the client Privately but you do it here instead... you still may not have not spoken with him since last 31.

Remember you brought this here not him now you are blaming people for blowing it out proportion ??

Good morning house.
Here is the mediation update about the construction saga btw mr brabus and somehow which I stand as mediator btw them to see how the matter can be solved amicably.

As I said last time that I will update the house, here we go, straight to the point in short paragraph

The mediation start on 28th/ 29th of dec 2021.
After much time on call coupled with sms and whatzap messages with mr brabus.
Like 20min, 40min, 30min and so so, the last time we talk on phone was about 80min (1;20min) straight talk, ( I almost get hear problem that day)
I also reached MR somehow” through messages etc.

I tried to get two things done.
- the amount due to pay back
-time to pay back

On the amount due to pay back, MR brabus said he can ONLY pay N1m back based on his own calculation against N2m QS valuation .

Now after much discussion with him (brabus) he said he will do something by adding to the N1m when his head cool down, plus when meet with his cleint one in one to run mind together ( I suggested this to him)

Let me say I won this part of battle halve way.

Now to the second one “ time to pay the initial 1m, after another serious discussion MR brabus said the said N1m and is not ready at the time we discussed this ( 6th of January) and I asked when bcs its urgent and he promised to get back to me on the time, but up till now he as not get back to me, I message him but no reply yet.

I always report our discussion to mr “somehow” he do also follow up.

At the moment NO penny as been paid ( I don’t achieved my aim fully on this matter, do I called it failed mediation, hmm No bcs I I gain some I loss some. But generally I get something about life on this matter.

So as it’s now I don’t know if the client ( mr somehow will use another form to retrieve his money back or still go back to mediation. As I will take a small break about the matter and leave it for the cleint to decide.

I thanks MR somehow for his gentility and understanding toward the matter.
I also thanks MR Brabus for his time also, I will not forget others good people here who want the matter to be settled amicably.

Thank you all for your time.

Rotech.

Chai ! So client's balance which was supposed to go straight to the work was not even ready talk more of ones added due to inflation cost ?? .so the admitted balance owed couldn't be remitted immediately?? .....

CrownOfClay724:


I'm not too keen on the workings of the airport but I'm sure officials trying to extort passengers ain't a standard practice anywhere in the world.

If she defaulted on anything , way to go was never forcing her through the backdoor.

That is my point...she overstayed her entry permit staying 5 weeks which is more than 30days clearly stamped on her passport ...at this point they ought to explain this but they failed to do that properly hence the whole rubbish or trying to ask for money which is very bad behavior for our airport and a shame to our country.

Here's a link to a trending video on the internet about the extortion going on in our airports.
And this is just one of many.


https://fb.watch/aoqrFQpo90/

If your intelligence cannot help us unmask these people doing us dirty left, right and center - of what use is your agency, then?

Just to be clear.there are far too many rotten behaviors at the airport ....for that video here are major points to note;

1. Irrespective of how long the visa you got at the embassy ,only the immigration officer at port of entry decides how long you stay at a time.you get only 30days at a time

2.yes she overstayed her entry permit not entire visa so she was wrong.she needs needed to visit any immigration office every 30days for elongation very simple procedure.

3.The problem started when they couldn't explain to her properly because they were trying to keep it low and put the money in their pockets instead of giving her the proper Government fine..

somehow:


I'm hoping mine will stand the test of time too.

Do you sir by any chance you have some spillage left?.do you mind see what inscription you have under it if you have the chance any time at all..

Ikmontana1:
Thanks very Boss.
sorry sir, last question.

This is d first time am roofing a house.

so som1 refer a guy to me dat he is gud wit any anytin concerning Roofing.

please sir, should I pay into d company's account like he said I would den he wud go bring d sheets for me ??
or
should I go with him to buy it whenever am ready to make payment, so I can confirm he bought quality sheets ??

If you have opportunity to go there why not go see it for yourself...if you like what you see then pay ?? Seeing is believing isn't so? All thr best sir

Ikmontana1:
Boss, am sorry for d many questions, jus dat #3million or above is not small money, so I want to try n get it right.

* pls wat do u mean by coil coating, colorcoat and colotek ??

Ans:

Colorcoat is just different brand name of companies making the coils. Tower makes and uses colocoat (kolorkoat) companies like first express aluminium or Bozac buys coils from them...and all tower brand like asaba alu...Pgn

Colortek is from first aluminum....companies like best aluminium and first aluminum uses this coils...even first express buys from them

* and pls why do u prefer the nut brown colour ??

Ans:
Again it's preference all my kobo kobo rentals and village house are painted off brown and dim yellow so Nut brown is preferred roofing color.


* and how wud I go about getting the sheets, wud I pay into the company account or how ??



Ans:
So depends your pocket and location if you have enough I believe Tower has subsidiaries in all regions....if in lagos walk in at any Best or First aluminum office at ikeja..even Jonytech makes good sheets....

Thanks Boss

I am not writing off so many other small players who are making quality roofing sheets..I just mentioned companies I know what they can give you with eyes closed..

Check with Oga money121 and see who he buys from.
Caveat.( He is doing well.Do your own research as well )

Ikmontana1:
please Boss, which COLOUR who you suggest I use that will last longer than BLACK ??

cause I plan to do the Roofing this month.

Consider the color you intend to paint your building.The most important thing is the coil's coating...ensure you get a colorcoat or colotek...Nut brown has been my favorite....these are available colors on towers website .

mufutau55:


I have always use Johnytec and have recommended them to several people here. The Metcopo that I mentioned that never leaked was corrugated by them. But I will never use Metcopo again o due to the fear of leakage regardless of who corrugated it.
Thanks.

Hajji M.

Other than faulty currugators ,another major problem of metcoppo is handling..loaders/carpenter's mishaps and mishandling.it requires extra care due to its extra sharp corners. Same with some steped tiles...

MMotimo:


Hahaha now I’ve narrowed down your other moniker.
Why are you being shy to use it? I don’t usually bite. Your opinions might not be popular but at least they’re yours. Anyway, it’s apparent that your logic is errrrmm “different “ and that’s me putting it generously. Let’s leave it at that because there’s an ongoing issue that hasn’t been resolved. If you support creating a scammers’ list, lobby Seun and the supermods to start with a reputable moderator to create and maintain it. I’m sure a lot of the regular posters would support the push after all I am neither regular nor have I been scammed but I support the idea.

P.S. I’m not a ghostbuster but I can recommend a very good read , a thread right here on Nland that reads like a novel and sad as that true story is, it would be great reading for curious minds .

Haha My other moniker ?? What a waste

MMotimo:


I see! In your mind, posting to Tabbaz about somehow’s name on the business section scammers list and creating a stickied scammers’ list in the property section are one and the same. The connection is at best nonsensical and at worst, mischievous.

Now listen good! I know people like you are always on to the next thing, no attention span whatsoever but if you are going to read AND understand my posts, you need your comprehension skills at full alert otherwise feel free to just jump past. I very clearly detailed ( in the very post you first quoted) why my creating a list would not be effective. Go back and read slowly.

Bolded irrelevant...you did contact a MOD irrespective of what section

What makes you rate yourself so high....you are rather inconsequential at least for me...have you ever made one meaningful post on this thread?? Rather than a Ghostbuster ??

Wtf man....channel this energy to ghosthunting...I dont have time for lullabies .you already got 2mins

MMotimo:


YOU especially, with all your antecedents, do not get to tell me what to do!

@ bolded
Always easy to tell the ones that have no problem playing loose with the truth. Ask him to prove it now, he’ll take from the book of N3xt and start endless rambling. You are not someone I consider to be reputable nor respectable so I will do you the honour of ignoring any further outbursts from you. If you insist though, be prepared to get more than you bargained for.

You sre not being told...only a follow up of your last post...So you cannot do something you have been clamoring for ?? But someone else should do it. Right.how can you forget so soon ??you contacted a mod just a page up ?? Lol..

BTW the bolded haha very laughable ...your considerations and thoughts about me are absolutely useless and mean absolutely nothing to me...this place has been over the years a leisure and pass time for me...I have been here from day one even though I choose sit and read attitude. chip in when i can ..this is your 2mins..bye

MMotimo:


Thank you, Sir

The problem is if I were to create a thread today, it would drown and remain in the background, no one would know about it. The first step is an active moderator to create a stickied (like this one) thread and maintain that thread. Once it’s stickied to the first page of this section, you can’t miss it. Preferably, 2 moderators for a section like this with so much money flowing through so that the moderation is active at all times and not abandoned as is the case with lawyer.

There’s nothing stopping active members of this section from pushing for a functional moderator to restore sanity here. There are enough members whom I assume would be credible candidates for the post(s). Off the top of my head, there are a few I would recommend from this thread but in the end, folks have to be ready to lobby Seun or the supermods or whomever the big honcho is that can appoint a moderator(s).

Mods like Justwise from travel and Tabbaz, the mod from the business section have active, tenured experience in moderation and clamping down on fraudsters. They would be great candidates if they have the capacity to add to their current sections.

I find it heartbreaking that one man has continued to do this for over 10 years and it’s only a matter of time before another victim shows up.

Just create the list...you have been talking about it for a while now on this thread....Also seems you have been talking to alot of moderators. Get on with it already .

Big screens are good...consider distance from TV and seating area .The recommended distance for watching a Standard Definition TV is six (6) times the TV's vertical screen size.

do you have the full information more than what we know? Then share it… we all know that project Was abandoned.. project that he was paid to execute… has he reach out to the client for resolution? No he hasn’t !!! Rather he prefer to be ditching out pictures and advice here.

You can give him your project sir. Let see how he will handle it. I know a couple of good Engr here without any issue for the past 15years…

Sir,
I dont have any information....nothing to share sir...you obviously know/knew more based on what you are writing...Go on....
To end this my comment was only based on your incessant use of juju always pointed at a fellow.done this few times now i believe..other than that....all the best...

What information are talking about sir...I was only referring to personal attacks using juju etc...every other none of my business...

somehow:


What information do you have to defend him?

Not like any long sermon on this thread will change anything though.

Boat has long sailed.

Defend who ??what do you mean

IDnoble80:


I don’t understand you chief, can you put yourself in those clients shoe? Or he should also do the same to you then let’s see how you will react? This doesn’t affect only him sir… it also affect a lot of us on this street…client will be skeptical about given out jobs to others here…

Has he sorted oga somehow? I am 100 percent sure the answer is no… quite unfair.

I am not without a heart...or conscience I feel you...what does such expression I responded to help with issues Was any solution suggested ??rather it has been snide and berage of attacks...I have been here longer than most people...getting involved when you don't have all information??

You unknowingly bought a govt land which you now know it's illegal.
Now you sold it to another person who will later suffer the consequences of buying illegal land and you are not feeling bad about that.
You are now asking for advice on whether to pay a fee to a criminal agent! You get mind sir!
Wetin do us for this country? Criminals everywhere!!

I was shooked...beyond shocked to read what he wrote...deceit in plain sight...

michlins:
sir, you are missing the point.

The other day, there was discussions about how much Nigerians pay for land and spend on building structures and how outrageous it is. Add premium wood to it and what do we have.

Let's start from you, are you willing to pay 7,000 for a length of wood when there's another that goes for less than 1,000.

There are things we spend money on, things like cars

Not really sir..i get what you are trying to say but..people are using stone coated roofing....people are paying high price for wichtech while there are so many cheaper ones.....some are using best/tower aluminum....people are using unknown company in Mushin. people are using dulux while people here will buy from oga gbadexy ...this is my point...

michlins:
now if you want to produce woods with comparable quality, the price will be close to the ₦7,000. Now how many Nigerians will gladly pay that amount for wood when there are cheaper options. What stops the person from going for steel trusts instead. Bearing in mind that for a business to survive, you need patronage

Do you mean same way people are patronizing you ?? Do you think there are no cheaper or more expensive options?? People are are going to like what they like.They are going to get it and pay for it regardless...building a target market and your sales acumen coupled with quality products.

kopell:
This is very interesting, the question is. Do they pay back at the value of 1976 or at value of 90s

Well this is a good question...like i wrote initially the 2nd generation tried to recover some of lands..stating that some of lands was only a lien for loan and not sold..that are ready to pay back...well almost a year front and back to court...the Magistrate didn't agree with their argument...we were also secured because of witness statements ..again loans do have payback and duration none of those had it but they used certain words like....

"That I give you this land in exchange for this amount"...


At the end of the day...one particular one was sold back to them because that one is where their obi or sanctuary was supposed to be located they begged..offcourse 90's value...fast-forward 2019 they resold it a falling Station is standing right there..lolloloL

Your dad tried. Ogbor hill was the choicest area in Aba then. Hope you are also buying lands that your children will inherit?
I still remember our road trips from ikot ekpene through Aba we would stop over at intersoft drinks to buy some cool drinks. That spot had the best bread and roasted chicken ever. Then we would drive pass NTA towards the railway and head to Aba Owerri road.
That was when curtix just started producing electric cables. You would see their bill boards along the highway then.

Then whether you were resident in Aba or on transit, their tax collector were very mean. They would waylay any young man and bundle him to their office if he couldn’t provide his “Rate paper “

Bolded ...my brother ....you sabi aba well well...all those tax and rate people were so popular and people were scared of them...they can hijack anyone..

That road ogbor hill - ikot-expene road is a mess and has been for years now....was an eye sour last I went there..

Exactly. There is a piece of land (around 2 acres). that is in dispute among the same family members in my community. The land originally belonged to a man (their late grandfather ). It happened that around 1980 this man (lets assume he was about 60 years old then) used the land as collateral to obtain loan of about #1500. But he could not pay back the loan. Note that this man had 4 grown up sons of 3 different mothers (polygamic family). The sons were age 25 -40 years as at 1980 . The youngest son, lets call him MR Peter who was 25 years as at 1980 then decided on his own to settle their father's debt so that the land would remain and not be confisicated. This settlement happened in 1982. The other sons had said they did not have such money then. But everyone knew the oldest one had but did not want to bring out.
Fast forward to today, years after the old man died, they have been having issues on who now owns the land. These 4 sons now have children who are equally capable and willing to go all out to defend their father's interest. Land is worth over #100M now. It has never been developed, with thick bamboo plants covering most of it. The bamboo alone on the land as at today's value could worth over #1M.

The other 3 sons position is that MR Peter should sell all the bamboos on the land and reclaim his money as full compensation although they all know that the bamboo is worth over the #1500 he paid to settle their father debt.
Mr Peter has insisted that the land and everything in it now belongs to him alone and has gone to court. All he has is receipt for the #1500 he paid to settle their father's debt. His position is that if he did not settle the debt, the land would have been taken by credit collectors .

This is a very funny story about land
I inherited two plots of land at ogborhill Aba...it is funny to read hand-written receipts and two witness statements...lol... first plot sold for N500 nairaland 1976... landowner borrowed another N400 for another plot...infact my father bought atleast 10 plots through money borrowing or trade by bata...he ensured atleast two witness statements with each purchase....

I asked why he didn't buy more if he could...he was worried they will come back to reclaim ...well their children did in the late 90s....
