Yet, if you tell both male and female to stop fornicating, they will come for you.

Many are having premarital sex and children are one of the consequences of premarital sex.

You people frown at people doing abortions but won't marry a single mum or won't abstain from sex.

If your partner gets pregnant for you, na una go first say make she abort am, yet, some of you won't marry a woman who has done abortion before.

Una no see say this premarital sex thing no worth am las las?

For those of us who's pockets are not as deep as Egunmogaji2 's own, there is some hope. We can always knock together these cheaper alternatives and still shut our doors at night, afterall, door na door

This particular door, frames, keys and handles, hinges, bolt and installation might be below N20,000. I use this normally on rented apartments, especially where high paying tenants are not the target.

This is a construction of wooden doors and frames, using different sizes and combinations of foreign plywood materials, especially HDF wood. These doors costs an average of N80,000. (Frames and architraves inclusive)

Gigaset:
I guess the purpose of this thread is to learn so am here to learn, why can´t we talk about the advantages/disadvantages of imported building materials like doors etc for everyone to learn.

Since you have more experience in this field it will be very nice of you to elaborate more on the disadvantages of imported doors

n3xt:
Bro’s, do not lead them into temptation with your trial-and-error solutions. You’ve not imported a single door into Nigeria let alone install one to know what it cost (not talking money) those who have towed that path.
I’ve witnessed and done over 100 of those doors and I can tell you those who did regretted the decision.

Well, we need more experience though. So people should feel free to experiment after all it’s their money!
_________

The owner of the doors below is an old member of this forum. He loved everything foreign and hated naija local tinz

His friend imported the doors below into the country but his engineer condemned it and my Oga gullibly bought them for his own project.

The rest is history! Money wasted.

I wish a lot of us can be could bold enough to come and share our construction experience and the things we wished we did right but as a black man with black mentality, we will never own up to our mistakes.

This story was shared on this same thread some years back.

_______

If you want more foreign door stories, I’d share.

The problem of those doors is beyond the concern you raised. A double-sided hinged panel door won’t give you any issue when installing because it had no frame and it can always be mirrored to work both sides.

How you missed this is something I don’t know?

__________

In Nigeria wey we dey, the handle of a panel door doesn't determine the opening of a door The position of the jamb on the frame does.

I don’t know about LA or UK.

I'd love to learn about some explanation & solutions to these crazy dollar rate increase & devaluation of our naira by an Expert.

Any Economist in the house!!!


This is becoming rather annoying.

I'm still at the planning stage, so it may take a while (possibly December) to arrive Nigeria but I have the photos already from my local building merchants. See attached photos. Prices and size included.

So it is SOLID Oak or Sapele wood internal wooden door. I don't do internal metal/iron doors. Factory treated against termites ( so you don't need to perform animal sacrifice) and warping; guaranteed for 10 years minimum and ready for vanishing to your taste if you so wish.

You will need to buy locks (photo attached) guaranteed a lifetime, so you don't need to worry about locking yourself in as with Asia locks prevalent in Nigeria.

In price terms, you can land a PROPER SOLID internal wooden door in Nigeria (inclusive locks and keys) for N100K per door. However, I'm buying a bus to load in all items and ship them to Nigeria. I will sell off the bus (fire sale) which will bring the unit cost of each door to about N85k or thereabout.

I normally construct wooden internal doors in Nigeria for rentals. But this project is a family forever home, so I'm happy to import products I'm used to and trust and cry later about the cost.

KolaShangOne:
Oga Egun, who can buy 2x2 of 350 naira for let's say 700 per one?

Forget abroad levels. I be Warri-Sapele brought up. 18 foot, yes but straight no bend? That thing is looking for a virgin in a maternity ward.

Straight wood die with AT&P. But one can't know it all. Please share the area for Sapele and I will send someone to check it out. I'm about to import wooden doors from B&Q because of the poor cut quality of woods available. I will need a lot of recutting and sanding to get the doors to the quality finish I want and I don't want to do this.

n3xt:
Those 18 foot plank is what makes sapele thick.

THE PROBLEM OF PERFECTLY CUT AND STRAIGHT WOOD IN NIGERIA.

I lifted the first attached photo from Spyder's Remodeling Hall Project: https://www.nairaland.com/5921575/remodelling-reconstruction-town-hall-pictures/3

Looking at the wood network and the snake like nature of most of the woods, I just ask myself and you all here that supply wood, why is it near impossible to get perfectly cut to size and straight wood in Nigeria? What is the issue?

Is it lack of investment, lack of skilled woodworkers, the Nigerian factor of any way na way or we are just blind as a country to perfection and detail.

Why can't the Association of Nigeria Sawmillers up and down the country self regulation as done in the western world to proscribe industrial standard of wood cutting and sawmilling? I don't want to mention the government. This is a case of self regulation by the Sawmillers Association.

I have had a look online at the investment profile for a sawmill. As from 5 million Naira, one can set up a modern sawmill that can cut perfect wood. I think the Sawmillers Association can do better. It is not impossible to produce perfectly cut straight woods. I think it's the Nigerian factor.

Any how, any how. All go na go.

I think yoruba nation will favour us more. We are going to make more money by taxing foreigners who are doing businesses or owning properties.
I wish Awo had fought for independence of yoruba nation. I wish he had supported Biafra course.

I have to wonder if the toplessness is actually their culture, or outside manipulation.

Please can you drive a car within a state when you don't have the physical custom papers with you but already registered?

Can't find where it was kept.

BrabusNG:
I guess as much. It’s definitely not for those termites that have their own civil engineering team

I mean the ones that construct a multi-dwelling apartment in your property within few days.

Shhhhh!!

In case you don’t know, organophosphorous chemicals found in insecticides/pesticides is one of the major cause of erectile dysfunction in men. It’s not village people!

Organizers of the seminars below won’t be cashing out on you if you know the adverse effect of the toxic substances you’re toying with.

Read up.

n3xt:
Another one?

Don’t turn your property to a nuclear site with excessive use of toxic chemicals that are not safe for human consumption

Don’t murder your illegal occupants/tenants! Give them a quit notice

@erico2k2 how you take see am? Maybe we need to setup a support group for us amebos

n3xt:
I know you’ll come

How are you any different? You confidently support exterminating a whole colony of precious termites (king, queen, soldiers...) with so much dreaded sniper and you’re here rub it off on us that used dead puppy to send them away from our territory.

The road is still very very far.

I didn’t commit any crime. I only buried a dead puppy. Simple!

Did I kill a termite? No!
