My brother after 33 years I came back full time in March last year.

You have done well bross, you took the bull by its horn, many people have tried and failed to take such decisions, we dey come 4 back, I'm one leg back in 9ja already

EgunMogaji2:
My brother the journey has been long.

Your boy dey here o in case of business opportunities.

U relocate full time or just testing the waters as I can see U are on ground

MrFabs:
Please advise needed, Is there anyone using a Toyota AVALON 2003. I would like to know if it's a good car for an average income earner to use and fuel consumption? Is already on the sea heading to Lagos, Any advice on this car will highly appreciate. Thanks

If the answer you are after is if its good on fuel then what you should be looking at is if its 4 or 6 plugs, cos there is a massive difference, fuel economy and 6 plugs cannot be used in one sentence as an average earner

Aventures:
Great word of wisdom from the elder. Honestly building on budget start from land Aqcuisition. If you try to economize unreasonably on a very poor soil then you may soon loose everything.
I have a project that was put on hold because the cost of foundation is more than the cost of building superstructure.

I bet this is amongst the **I must build 4 lekki group**

KolaShangOne:
Same way I do with cement here too. Infact we had to buy nylon to cover things once rain starts.

Is your site around Igwuritta?

Oga so U dey PH like this

EgunMogaji2:
For those that are building on a budget and came here for a lesson. Please try to roam around the properties section for great historical threads from notable builders like Skimanski, Aventures, KolaShangOne, Darenyx, Spyder880, etc

These guys have selflessly shared their professional system with us so that we can learn.

I have been offered many land that sits near rivers, dry waterbeds, etc that I refused or tried to negotiate to a lower price. I know what it requires to live with water and it's expensive. We've had house collapses on here, we've had sinking houses on here.

The type of foundation is important. Those that are building in Lekki etc and spend millions on foundation are not throwing money away, it's what is required in most cases.

When you're building near water or a storied house then you most definitely need experienced pros that includes a structural engineer, you need soil test, etc.

Good luck on your projects.

Sample pictures from a Skimanski thread. If you're doing a self build and not experienced then these threads from Skimanski and Spyder880 are required readings.

You remember that our friend CQ1 I think frm Canada who's Duplex of millions nearly sank?, Damn mehn we've come a long way since page one!

The Nigerian embassy in london has always been like that, jagajaga and they will be the first to close and last to open .......

you think? try the one in Italy

tolajay:
How do you mean?

The case in view is, sending pounds to someone's Nigerian pounds dom account, as a means of payment or family settlement fee.

You think that's risky?

The risk is, what IF the banks fils to remit you in physical £ and decides to pay you in naira equivalent @ CBN rate?

Lexusgs430:
You bid on what you see....... They are very trustworthy, but every auction is a gamble.......

The auction house would take pictures and state their initial assessment...

I would give you a personal example. I bought a used LHD drive jaguar from Japan at under £150.00 (vehicle was described as not driveable, not starting, key not turning)......

I took a gamble, bought the vehicle. It was shipped to Tilbury. On arrival, after paying all dues, I went to Tilbury with my toolkit and a brand new battery.........

Collected keys, as described vehicle not turning, I put new battery in and the beast woke up to life......

The jaguar served me in Nigeria for over 11 years, till I sold it........

tolajay:
Dear UK people,

Would you please confirm if there's a structured way to deposit pounds directly from UK into a Nigerian pounds account?

THanks

why take that risk?

assumpta1:
Also about the credit card, where’s the best place for a JJC to start from? I’ve been scared to look that way.

Capital one or vanquis

LagosismyHome:
From what I see .. with a limited company the person who owes the money is not the director but the company . The only way you can come for the director is if there evidence that the money was misappropriated for personal use

That will be time consuming for HMRC's or the bank to do for each company during this covid. Personally I feel las Las nothing will happen but government will quietly wipe it. If government does too much gra gra, it still works against them that why did the scheme not have a better check in place . All these limited company will just be closed , declared bankruptcy case closed.

However time will tell

I know a person who just got £40k lol

JustCryptos:
How recent was this? I don't have any intention to park a car there. I just want it to be safe enough for children to walk on or even play over.

Location is PH. I think the dimension is 8*10 and 11 feet deep or so. I'll confirm that from the engineer.

But here's the breakdown:

1. Digging: 32k
2. 300 pieces of 6'' solid blocks @250 : 75k
3. 25 bags of cement @2700 - 67.5k
4. 35 length of 12mm @ 2300/length - 80.5k
5. 7 length of 8mm @1300 - 9100
6. 1 trip of sharp sand - 27k
7. 1 trip of plastering sand - 28k
8. 1 trip of gum sand - 28k
9. 1 trip of 3/8 - 29k
10. 1/2 roll of binding wire - 5k
11. Iron Bender - 30k
12. Labor - 70k

Total - #453,100
I noticed there was nothing like carpenter here. So, this may even be higher.

6 inches solid is N150 to 180 in PH, you do not need plaster sand and all that craaaap.
check my thread, I just did one just now!
