I doubt if the first pix is an HDF door. It looks more like MDF. Check the purported Turkey door well. Does it have fine particles like compressed saw dust at its edges? If yes, it means it is an MDF.

The second pix looks like plywood or HDF. Check well; if the edges of the wood show layers of flat wood, that means it’s plywood he bought. He might need to use an edge binder to cover the layers from showing, after finishing.

Where the edges of the second pix show no layers of stacked wood, it may be a HDF wood.

He needs powerful router to create dado (the deep lines as shown on the Turkey door) on the woods in pix 2 with a matching diameter (and at the same depth) of bit used in creating the lines in the first pix (Turkey door) has to be used by the furniture guy for me to be able to get something closer to the one made with router table in factory.

If he attempts to chisel out the esthetic lines manually, he may not get the design (dados) well.

Hope he has a better plunge router like Festool or Mafell. Those are the best routers that can do the job well, including the door holes and hinges. He can use a couple of other door engine installation kits and hole saw, where he can’t use plunger to drill the hole.

A Trion, Makita, Dewalt, Milwaukee or Bosch plunge router too could be useful, if he knows how to use any of it and has or could get one.

Where he couldn’t get a plunge router, he can use trusted trim routers will rail guide, for the dados and the door holes.

Let him also look for quality white paint for the finishing.

If I am to make such door with my tools here, it cannot cost more than N40k, without adding my profit and cost of shipment ni o.

Tell him to reduce the price for you. The charges are too closer to that of factory-made door and he hasn’t made any of such doors for you before for you to know if he would get it as closed as to the Turkey door.

Don’t pay upfront for everything. Let him make one and show it to you. If you are ok with it, he can then go ahead with others, to avoid a case of WHAT I ORDERED VS WHAT I GOT.

Modified:

Estimated cost of making one door using plywood.

1 piece of full length of plywood = 14k, max.
2. Door engine (the type that he would use for you)= 10k , max.
3. Door hinges = 3k, max
4. Lacquer and final painting = 10k, max.
5. Screws and others = 1k, max.

For using HDF, the only difference is going to be the cost of the wood is is being sold around N16k to 21k per piece, depending on where you are buying it.

You can then add his labour. I assume you already have your door frames installed.

Hope I am back soon to come and crash price for people making life difficult for Nigerians, in my own little way.

We exploit ourselves too much.


By the way, I sell and ship quality power tools and accessories for woodwork and furniture making, directly from Europe and the US. These are not China Made for Nigeria tools o.

My husband is not the same man I fell in love with.

My husband changed totally after wedding day, in fact, it started on the wedding night and its giving me a lot of concern.

It's not that he is not talking to me or we are fighting, but he is not the cheerful happy person anymore.

After months of trying to get what the problem is, he finally opened up to me and I don't know what my fault is, I think he is overreacting.

My husband works in an insurance company and he is just a junior staff, he earns 150k per month, so he is not doing that bad.

When we wanted to get married, my dad wrote the wedding list and everything he would bring, when he saw them, he fumed that they were too much and they should reduce it but my dad insisted that he won't collect it twice, I also told him if he really loves me, he would provide them, he could get help from his family too, it is called bride price and other things, and it is once.

We had little issue then but he later resolved it.

He brought everything they ask him for

During the wedding, my parents told him to buy a cow, rent a hall and decorate it then they'll take care of other things. He said he didn't have money for a big hall and he would prefer a field ground but my dad insisted that rain could disrupt things and he has many people coming.

That almost cause issues too, I had to support him with 50k to get the hall because I know who my dad is, he won't back out.

I didn't know how he did it, he took the hall and designed it, he bought cow too.

His family brought food and everything went fine and that was it.

I don't know what was keeping him moody until he spoke up.

He said I couldn't fight for him, I was there supporting my parents and watch them extorting him, did I even know he had to collect loan to pay for those things?

I got angry because he used the word 'extorting'.

He was the one that wanted to have my hand in marriage and if he cherish me, he should do all they wanted since he is not paying twice.

After I said this, he stopped talking in the house, he comes home, eat and go to bed.

I tried talking to him but he would listen but not talk, he is cold to himself and prefer his privacy.

Have I said something wrong?

I don't like whats happening. My marriage is too young to be going through all these.

I am tired, I don't know what to do.

Weight loss!

Weakness!

Recurrent constipation!

Belching

Forceful passage of stools

These are not signs you should be calm with, bro. I'm seriously hoping this isn't colon cancer. I'm sincerely hoping it's not!

I'll advise you to get the heck out of NL now and find a good hospital where reliable diagnosis can be made.

There's more to what you're having than just peptic ulcer. That's all I can tell you as a medical doctor!

Nairaland is not a hospital. Go get your diagnosis now preferably in a specialist hospital before things get worse.

An abdominal ultrasound scan would be a good starting point.

PS. I deliberately opened up on the worst possible diagnosis, so you can rise up and act fast. Whatever it turns out to be can be deadly if not treated on time.

Then in their later years when their children are grown and left the house, those people outside are long gone, same men would accuse the wives they ignored in their youth of now ignoring them in their old age as their wives have divested emotionally.

Let me tell you this, no politician need to appease to the Igbos because the Igbos only play one-directional politics. They face one way, no matter the circumstances, their votes will always be one way. So why do you need to appease them?

I’m not saying it’s a bad thing. It’s very good and I hope the Yorubas can think like that too in our voting pattern but it just seems we and the Igbos are totally different people and both method have their advantage and disadvantages.

The Yoruba way of having a distinct mind and ability to vote differently is one of the greatest advantage because it makes politicians appease the Yorubas. You will have a mind that, this people might vote me and they might not. I can appease to 35% of them to vote me and leave the 65% to do what they will do either ways. Jonathan did it in 2011 and did it again in 2015. Atiku did it in 2019 and Atiku/Obi did it in 2023.

Like you said, Tinubu told his comrades that they don’t need to invest too much in campaigning in the SE because he knows there is nothing on earth he can do that will make them vote him. So to him, the SE is useless to his success and when he eventually won, he is not bounded by any fears of SE voting against him in the next election like he would towards the North. Infact he may choose to not construct one single runway in the SE and still win the next election. That is the danger of one-directional voting as a bloc. When you do that, you better succeed coz if not, politicians will see that the voting bloc is useless to them.

The strongest enemy is the one you can’t predict his moves. SE is not a strong enemy to any opposition politician, if not for the SS that always align in some brotherhood to the SE, you guys would have understood some things already about power games.

Bear in mind that all men are cheat. Don't enter the marriage and start complaining that he cheated. Pretend you didn't see anything. That's how our mothers managed our fathers. Your marriage will last long and fruitful

AlphaHakimi:
Divorce is a very bad thing to occur in a family. Divorce has both physical and mental effects on the children. You have to understand that the motive for Divorce is different between Man and woman.

For instance, if the girls mother initiated the divorce, she has automatically shown her female children that once the marriage is uncomfortable, there is a way out. Furthermore, she has unintentionally shown her male children that women do not marry for love, rather marriage is transactional for women. It means that the day you stop "being a man" irrespective of the reason (poor health, job loss, bad business transaction etc) your wife will Divorce you.

Men hardly initiate Divorce. Women always think that there is something perfect outside their matrimonial home.
Women from divorced families no matter how good their qualities are, know only two things;
1) SURVIVAL
2) DIVORCE IS THE WAY OUT FROM MARITAL PROBLEMS.

Please in all you do, avoid such girls.

N/B : The only reason I support Divorce is in the case of domestic violence. No union is worth your life.

Letsmeet:
Please everyone, what's your opinion on this?
Is it wise to date a young lady from a divorced home?
If She is very nice, quiet, respectful, the most understanding person in the world, doesn't even quarrel. Has a good job and many other good qualities.
But if her parents are divorced, and live in the same area, and she lives with both of them.
What is the likelihood of her divorcing in future? Anyone with similar experiences please?

CondenseMilk:
Divorce is very dangerous especially to the girl child.

Apart from the death of a partner, bringing up kids as a single parent should be highly discouraged

It's not just in Rivers state alone, Peter Obi's actual votes were massively suppressed in Lagos. The margin was so wide that Tinubu, Sanwo-olu, MC Oluomo and the rest of Lagos APC stakeholders got mad and went on rampage to prepare for the Governorship election to avoid losing Lagos completely.



Sanwo-olu after seeing the actual huge margin Obi used to win Lagos became humble overnight that he started doing all sorts of things to convince Lagosians that he was different from Tinubu while MC Oluomo charged his agberos to take the laws by their hands and do whatever it takes to win Lagos for Sanwo-olu to avoid extinction of their decadelong Agberoism extortion in Lagos.




Based on our inhouse collation, Peter Obi won the below states with very wide margin that will push his total votes to over 9million votes:


Lagos
Rivers
Plateau
Bayelsa
Akwa Ibom
Cross River
Benue



Obi got over and around 25% in:


Adamawa yes Adamawa
Borno
Kaduna
Sokoto
Bauchi
Taraba
Nasarawa
Ekiti
Ogun
Ondo
Kogi


Obi won the below states with no or insignificant vote suppression:


Anambra
Abia
Ebonyi
Imo
Enugu
Delta
Edo
Abuja

Mindlog:
Were they truly "happily married" while still in Nigeria?

The Nigerian environment tends to subsidize a lot of unhealthy marriages and then tagged a "happy marriage".

A lot of things need unlearning but some are stuck in their ways... one said it was emasculating doing the dishes.😆😆😆

That reminds me of a draft dissertation of a Nigerian Psychology postgraduate student, I read and it was really insightful as it focused on the breakdown in marital relationships of some Nigerian migrants to the UK as the focus.

The project detailed how the UK system hits hard on Nigerian husbands who are so high on control and submission as the UK system deflates these. The researcher also brought up the demystication of income which counters many threads here that advocates a man should not let his wife know how much his income is but here in the UK, the wife knows it before it even reaches the man's account and the system forces the couples to be more open about their finances and they are forced to make joint decisions as it forces accountable leadership on husbands as against the lordship status, they "enjoyed" in Nigeria ....d person write many, many for the dissertation.😆😆😆😆
