Is that for real? Seriously?

olayinkajnr:
And the media ain't helping matters. The way they painted the whole thing self. I can't conclude that there are no killings but I base in Kaduna and I've been there to see for myself. I shook my head and concluded that the media, and the personal hate for some set of group is the bane of this country.

When we did the fence and gate, there was a space of about 8 feet left opened beside the gate to enable easy passing on temporary basis. I expected the little space to be sealed within two weeks after the completion of the fence and gate. The contractor is a nairalander too. I warned him about that little space because I paid for it to be completely closed but he ignored my warnings for months. To my surprise, the contractor never did anything to the space beside the gate. It was through that space the thieves gained entry into the property and pulled cables out of the wall. There were other things stolen too and not only cables.

Wiring! Wiring!! Wiring!!!

Plumbing is bigger in size, heavy, difficult to move and cannot be easily sold

Wiring is smaller in size, more expensive per unit size/weight, you need a lot of it, can be easily moved and if you are stubborn like me and decide to even "put marks" on your cables, it can be stripped and you wont even recognise it if placed in front of you and the internal copper can be melted (and re-used) to completely disguise it!

Take the advice as given earlier: Buy your wire NOW and store it where it is safe (where you live now or with trusted people in occupied residence)
Dont do any wiring until you have put-in Iron Doors on ALL External Exits!
Having a "high" Fence and a Gate is a further deterrence, especially in secluded areas.

Finally, wiring would cost you more to replace, as the price keeps rising on a weekly basis, at a faster pace compared to Toilet fittings.

I experienced cable theft firsthand. The thieves pulled out every single cable in the building - all kablemetal. Compound was fenced and gated and there were habited buildings on two sides, bush on one side and a road in front.

In addition to some of the advice here, the sooner you connect to electricity, the better. This way, you may even catch a (roasted) thief.

EgunMogaji:
My area is new site, pretty much secluded.

If I didn't see it myself I wouldn't believe it.

EgunMogaji:
They've stolen casement windows that is already embedded in cement.

AngelicBeing:
Your house is more than a Boys - quarter, it is a mansion close to the white house in the US. It is also possible you have a bunker in your villa for storing dollars, pounds, Euros, Bit-coins, Japanese yen, Saudi riyals, with a remote control to your bunker and it is impenetrable & well fortified with electronic gadgets from Japan and also an escalator that takes you from your living room to your bunker, the same thing applies to Egunmogaji

EgunMogaji:
Don't underestimate the ingeniosity of our people at home due to hunger.

They will pull the wires out.

They've stolen casement windows that is already embedded in cement.

spyder880:
Wires are the easiest things to steal in a site. It's easier to pilfer than cement or any other thing. The value in the market is high and almost every worker can pull it out of the pipes on the walls. Even other workers not electricians can steal wires.

Leave the wires for last. Just before painting and electrical light fittings.

mufutau55:
NO. Not just fence.... Roof, windows & burglary, front and all exit doors.
My friend installed his wires today and by the time they got there the following morning to continue the work, nothing was left of the wires.. Imagine!

spyder880:
Thank you, site must be well secured before wiring. A lot of stealing of wires and cables in most sites now. Cable is easily stolen and portable more than most other materials in any site.

twinskenny:
Roof first and make sure the site is secure before wiring

erico2k2:
Oga Hajji M and kobo kobo project are like ! U know the rest
PS I like the Idea of roofing b4 any wiring or plastering .

Qc1:
I spent about N1.2m when cement was about N2,100/bag. No sooner I finished the plastering the price went back to N1,450/bag. I almost wanted to sue Dangote for refund kia kia!

If I'm not mistaken, 3strikes paid the same.

Beremx:
Alfa Tunji, i haven't been on nairaland for a long while if you had noticed. You really think i should have asked you about your stand on Kaduna killings before you say your mind abi? Stop sounding like a fulani Muslim ogbeni.

aminusanti:
keep exposing urself
Time shall tell.

spyder880:
Plastering workmanship should be N500k average plus around N650k average for cement and sand.

Amelian:
Exactly! He could be impotent!

And people are blaming the bride's family.
No woman married at that age will ever joke with her marriage in 2weeks! Cmon?? And even to a younger man.. Except she is psychiatric patient.

That's just the fact.

The husband should spill the beans and tell us why she ran away
Lol

I hope you really(and i) really reflect on this.
