I’m not close to my dad, I was raised by a single mum till she passed away when I was 16.

My dad has been abroad since I can remember. But I still live in his house, with my cousins. My dad and I hardly talk, we can go 6 months no calls. So I see him as a stranger mostly. I can’t connect.

I have a really good job now. I have like N10M saved up, and earn about N2M monthly.

My plan is to relocate to Abuja and build my house, but my family members and friends thinks I would be foolish to just give up the property in Lagos with no conflict with my dad, as I have lived in the house with my mum my whole life.

But when I was younger he made it clear that this is his house and actually I don’t have access to the papers even.

But also I’m 25 now, I need to be a man after all my dad came to Lagos with nothing and built his house, I should do the same and cut off from him. That’s my only argument.

Is it foolish giving up this property worth about N45M.

Liar. You earn 2 million naira monthly indeed

bull67:
i finished mine with 2.5 million in 2018. maybe now cost might be 3million

Did you roof your house with long span aluminium or asbestos? Did you use POP or ceiling?

Nice

Good

hmohammed:
Oga, I am not competing with you. I just completed my 5 bed duplex on 300m2 and I spent within this range. No vex abeg.

What is the size of your duplex house in square meter? Did you self supervised or use a contractor? Is it on dry land?

Dennis3D:
More site pictures as at today.
Site Update.
We are doing the overhead water tank stand.
Tiling.

Pls follow up if you haven't been following up

Averagely how much is a full plot of land in badore ajah if you are selling am half plot at 8 million naira? Isn't the current price of a full plot of land in ajah badore is 9 million naira?

NoToPile:
He wants to ask the landlord why he doesn't have a gen at his age despite the fact that he has collected over 2 million from the tenants.

Seriously, his landlord is a case study. The OP must have been frustrated with his landlord's stinginess.

OcVoice:
Yes. I am a graduate. I studied Industrial Chemistry with 2.1 grade.

Which university? In case I have a job opening for you.

spyder880:
Yes we have done raft foundation in one or two threads, I will look for the thread later.

@spyder880, Abeg I am interested in one of your raft foundation thread to read and learn. I have an upcoming project in ibeju lekki too. Please mention me when you find the threads.

OcVoice:
I am in the charismatic. I also pray very well.

Are you a graduate? What did you study in school? I wonder why you couldn't have gotten a good job before 40 years?

spyder880:
We have completed some medicine cabinets to be fitted in each bathroom, we are going to place mirrors on each medicine cabinet for the use of the occupants of each room.

The owner of this house is wasting his money unnecessary. A big house is never an asset but a liability. I believe the owner is building this house for impression. I have arrived mentality.

neduboo:
If I should leave the area, there will be a cost implication for new land. Whenever it rains heavily, there will be flood that stays for 1 or 2 days before leaving. I just want a bungalow that flood can't enter inside the house unlike the old house that once the flood comes it enters inside the house.

Can you imagine sleeping inside the flood for up to 2 days? It affects one's cognitive ability.

The location is Lagos

Please which part of Lagos is the location of your family house that is prone to flooding like that?

Chekitaut:
You have every reason to leave the place to another area, fighting flood will not help, you can sell the property and relocate. N2m will not complete a 2bedroom bungalow.

Location is not stated, if i can advise.

From your experience as building materials supplier, how do you think can complete basic 3 bedroom bungalow?

FellaG:
Hi all, moderator pls help me push to fp. I need good advise like badly.

I joined the banking system about a decade ago. Young and naive. I got carried away by thier flashy suits and top tech phones.
The moment I entered I realized all these was a scam. Those suits you see are being paid for, installmentally for 3months. The phones in 6 months etc Bankers are one of the least paid professions today considering the amount of time they put Into thier work (7am to even 10pm) and the level of risk they are subjected to. The sad thing about working for a Nigerian bank is once u leave, u realize that you can't use the skill elsewhere. You are technically back to square one.

This is my case. I spent the last decade of my life working in a financial institution as a teller. Quite wastful considering the fact that I know nothing other than counting money for customers. I worked for 7days in a week. 10yrs passed In a flash. No time to even get additional qualifications.

Before joining, my friends adviced me against it, but coming from a humble background the need to get independent fast was more appealing. Why I stayed so long is a topic for another day (have you heard of employment fraud) anyway,
I left last week and I can say I am happy I finally got a chance and time to learn any new trending knowledge and I am prepared to start afresh. I will be 35 this year. With a background in construction mgt I thought of copywritting, digital marketing etc but I love to learn technical stuff.. Pls advise if any. I know IT related careers will sell here and abroad.

I've thought of programming, cloud tech, data tech etc.

Please I need your advice, which path should I follow now that at the age of 40 I will regain all the time I lost in the banking field.

I can get an MSc but I want a high income paying skill that the likes of the oil majors wouldn't mind employing even at my age or if I am to be self employed I can be distinctive in that area.

Niaralanders, pls help a brother

Are you married or single? It will determine whether you still have time to pursue new career path.

Good afternoon Everyone,
(For mature minds only)
I seriously need a spouse for my elder sister preferably a widower. She just clocked 40 and seriously wants to have her own family cos she feels age is no longer on her side and feels bad when ever I come around with my kids.

She is seriously against having kids out side wedlock, I believe we have goldly men here that are either widowed or know some one that sincerely wants a mature woman.

If any is interested kindly send me an email.

Shalom

Has your elder sister been married before? Does she have kids?

It's sad last night after segun mom screamed at the sight of her son corpse after drinking sniper..this guy in our neighborhood is one of the best striker. 2018 he lost his father and since then they've been receiving pension from the organization his father works for, just last year segun used 20k to win 350k luckily for him.on he received 1.3M lately from his father organization he staked everything on bet naija on Saturday and he lose ..we played ball yesterday afternoon untill last night the news of his death spread round the neighborhood ..
segun we'll miss you..
we love you bt sniper loves you more

RIP...

Are you serious he bet with 1.3 million? Where did he get the 1.3 million he used to bet come from? Is the money meant for his father's gratuity?

Hello everyone
Have been pondering on this over the years and I think i need wider view and advice on this.
I'm from a family of 6 my father separated from my mom several years ago and remarried another woman and has several other side babes
now he paid our school fees wen we wer in uni but has neglected every other aspect of fatherhood.
we hardly see him because he stays in a different state
He did a court marriage with only my mom. so please what can we do because its becoming unbearable, i decided to concentrate on my self and hussle but its getting unbearable seeing your father with so much money squander it for another woman,side chicks,church etc and neglecting his very own family.
The last straw is he wants to stop paying rent for my mom claiming he has no money due to covid 19 but i got Intel that he just rented an apartment for another side chick. he will retire very soon and his gratuity should be nothing less than 30 m. He has no property for his children only a huz in the village and several cars he lavishes money on.
What can we do to salvage this situation
should we continue to look on as he waste his money and neglecting my mom that started life with him.
Can my mom file for divorce and will she get any benefit from it.
Can we the children out rightly sue him for neglect?
Mods please help push to front page so i can get wider contribution
please share your experience if you have a similar case like mine and how you tackled it..

Tell your mum to sue him to court and share part of his asset. Does your father have houses? Your mum could be lucky in court to win one or two houses from your dad. Your father is so irresponsible as a man.

Fellow Nairalanders, I need your piece of advice on this matter. I have lived in my flat for 4 years now, a building of 4 sets of 2 bedroom flats with tenants occupying 3 while my landlord occupies 1. He is still working and all together, I can confirm that he has collected nothing less than 2 Million Naira in rents since about 5 years ago the house became habitable. Still my landlord doesn't have a gen.

The issue at hand is water. Who should be responsible for this?

The transformer in my area is faulty for 2 weeks now and we don't know when we'll have electricity supply again. Supply in my area is quite reasonable but now, its a case of transformer that needs to be taken away. It was during the lockdown I bought a 1.9 KVA gen which obviously I cannot release to pump water. A co-cotenant also has I-pass-my-neighbor gen. You can't believe my landlord and his family charge their phones at my place!

Now we are suffering to get water . I didn't sleep well last night cos I didn't shower. I had very little water to bathe which I decided to save for bath this morning before going to work. The place we(landlord and tenants) fetched water previously is an incompleted building and they haven't pumped water in the last 2 days.

I am thinking of confronting him with questions. I once did actually but it was a case of refuse disposal. My landlord still goes under the cover of night to dispose his refuse within the neighborhood. He later said disposal of refuse is my business which made to find my way, a genuine means.

Now, is provision of water my business? Please ii need your advice. T

Thanks

Its quite surprising that your landlord is putting his family into hardship due to stinginess. How much is a generator that your landlord can not afford one? Is your landlord a young man or in his 50s?
