My aim was to setup the Kitchen, toilet, cabinet and dresser. I bought all the materials needed except for granite canter top; which everyone one refer to as marble; and it took me a week to figure out that we were talking about the same thing. Anyways, I wasn't able to get one till I ran out of time.

Bros, Patriotism is different from Stupidity. Those people u mentioned along side Martin Luther king never insulted nor threatened the government. Human right activists are different from terrorists

Go back and read thier history even till date once you pick up offence with any state you are lebeled all sort the difference is Nigeria failed to follow the rule of law . Locking a person up without trial .

texazzpete:
Where I live in Lagos, nobody hates Igbo people. I lived in Port Harcourt for 9 years. Never saw a single person commit an act of intolerance against someone else because he was a south Easterner.

I grew up in Benin. Igbo people were not being persecuted there.

When you imbecilic clowns come up with this 'Nigerians hate the Igbos' rubbish, I just laugh.

There are of course some tribalistic asswipes out there (those also exist among the Igbos) but In large parts of the country, there is no thematic hatred for Igbo people.

Only in the North . They never forgave .

casttlebarbz:
all i know is that he is guilty as charged, his approach to d actualization of biafra is wrong and punishable in any country on this planet earth..

So U found him guilty already ?
Don't 4get OBJ was a prisoner too.

AntiIPOOP:
This terrorist baštard Kanu will spend the rest of his pathetic life in jail. Idiotic foolish morôn, dan iska. Whoever tries to hurt our national unity is my enemy until the day of judgement. This modafuckèr should be dead already.

National unity ahah so you love the rest of Nigeria like dis?ahahah una nor go kill me !

Noblesoul123:
I strongly believe that if the the 5 States in that landlocked, erosion plagued enclave want to break away, they should be allowed to go quietly.

They will then be treated as foreigners in any other part of the country.

Perhaps they will then realise the negative implication of their actions just like Great Britain discovered after the BREXIT vote last year.

That was what we said about the Republic of Ireland and Scotland . Look at them now.

olapluto:
I started a similar project under a year ago. NL thread actually encouraged me to start. So far, I have spent about 12m, and just roofed the house (land inclusive). But my site is not in Lag.
Trickiest part was the decking. The price estimate just kept increasing. With the current price of cement at 2,600 naira, I think your cost to roofing may be well over 15m.
Plumbing, electrification and other cosmetics are usually owner specific.

Cement N2600
what area

Reprobate:
so I applied for 2yr visa for myself and 6months for my spouse, on tracking it, my spouse status says decision taken, passport ready for collection, while mine is still showing passport/documents sent to ukvi.
note we both applied same day, and the 2 applications/docs were put in the same bag/envelope
is this normal?...has this happened to any1 b4?...I tot since I clearly stated its a grp application, that they would be treated at the same time

your case taking more time to make decission. They will get back to you sonnest

yaki84:
The way laolu explained the parameters used in determining the poorest of the poor, the monies used in getting the data fit cost ten times what will be dispensed to the people!

Imagine 3groups sampling each coMmunity.........





Wahala dey ooooOooooo

thats a good point, use 30k to achieve 5k thats negative economics.

There's all sorts of goodies stored in her 500 square foot now. Safe from weather and prying eyes

I see that, funny thing is I now have space to buid such, just have to sacrifice 2 car space.

In your padlock garage. Oh wait never mind

If I had that now it would have been good,God dey, we are expecting another miracle and price slash by Dangote again

Here's another link from Vanguard. Check item 12. It reads:

12. Create a Social Welfare Program of at least Five Thousand Naira (N5000) that will cater for the 25 million poorest and most vulnerable citizens upon the demonstration of children’s enrolment in school and evidence of immunisation to help promote family stability. 13. Provide allowances to the discharged but unemployed Youth Corps members for Twelve (12) months while in the skills and entrepreneurial development programmes.

Modified: It keeps shortening once i post. Don't know why.

If we must hold Buhari's government accountable to their promises, we must do so by questioning them on what they promised and it's implementation. We don't need to embellish their words.

ABUJA — The All Progressives Congress, APC-led Federal Government, yesterday, said the payment of the N5,000 stipend to the unemployed Nigerian youths will commence next year.

Udiboy:
Hello house,
Please how much will cost me to build a village house in Enugu.
My land is along the road and accessible.

I want to build a 5 BR duplex with 3 toilets and bathroom .
I am not really sure of the dimension but just seeking for knowledge on how much it wil cost me.
I have some money saved up but it's not upto 10M naira.
What do I do? Start and stop of wait to get more money?
Thank you.

My Advice to you, Just start with what you have and anywhere your 10M gets you stop and source for more money, thats how I did mine,Cos of materials keep rising, on saturday the cost of cement changed at exactly 1300 hours from 2400 to 2500 , I thought they where joking but it was true and the reality on ground so start the ball rolling.

Teebawse:
thank you my broda sometimes I fear the way people give instances and assumptions on the cost of building am just rounding up a project in Benin a 4 bedroom bungalow to be precise and yes I have spent 14.8m and still am yet to complete the landscaping of the house,the economy is terrible naira has no value any longer

yes this is how they start then after german floor they will say OGA the money don finish materials add money then the Cliant will now come to nairaland and cry he/she had been duped.The foundation and german floor will cost 3m if E stingy like me and teh Slab up there will cost not less than 3.5M plus again if E stingy like me

Chokmah:
The main thing is that we tend to exaggerate things based on the book estimation of building stuffs...
In a more realistic note, 10m will go very far in giving you a satisfactory completion since the site;
ls not located in an urban region,
Its not a forest but merely shrub occupied,
Not swampy that may need raft or complicated pile foundations.
Already have an accessible road.
Note: In building, what is aimed at is a functional structure that floats within the budgeted sum i.e it must be economical.
Things to do...
1. Manage it yourself, if you should give it to someone to manage it will definitely accrue much expenses.
2. Be economical in all expenses but don't be a miser.
3. Employ local but experienced contractors and workmen.
4. In anything requiring large supplies like paints, cement, roof and carcass, ceiling, window etc go directly to the company or authentic dealer. "Discount" is the main issue here.
God bless you and your hard work...

Good theory, all well and said but you did not drop your own figures so that you do not undermine others on here dishing out figures.

okenwa:
You will be needing 39m to complete the project.

However, the 10m can not take you up to roofing level as advised by some people here. It can only be exhausted just after the decking level.

Start with the 10m so that you can be serious about the work. No procrastination has taken one anywhere

Thank you very much, that person saying 10M wil take it to roofing is a thief, nah me talk am, make him come talk how E wan build 5 bd room duplexx to roof level with 10M, for this 9ja make Una fear God small Unless you tell me ur slab ia 2 inch thick.

koning:
Most of the builders and so-called engineers are afraid to reply. They have been bashed mercilessly here because of the greed they display.

Anyway, dat 10 milla can take you to the roof with good management. Just the shell though.

Bross You say 10M will take him to roofing level in NIGERIA I just decked mine Saturday just gone.The Decking alone would consume 3.5M plus thats him being like me.His DPC nkor and monies paid to the Government.this one 16mm is N3500 ans 12mm N1900. 1x12 is n1k plus cement N2500. Plz re avaluate

dabossman:
This is actually the campaign promise that was made in January 2015 before the elections:

"All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), has promised to provide allowances to discharged but unemployed Youth Corps members for Twelve (12) months while in the skills and entrepreneurial development programmes, if elected in 2015. There is also the pledge to provide One Meal a day for all Primary school pupils.

Buhari/Osibanjo administration also vow to create a Social Welfare Program of at least Five Thousand Naira (N5000) that will cater for the 25 million poorest and most vulnerable citizens upon the demonstration of children’s enrolment in school and evidence of immunisation to help promote family stability.

“As a nation and the Sub Saharan Africa’s leading energy producer, we had in the past squandered the opportunity to build functional infrastructure to better the lives of the average Nigerian. We can no longer afford this luxury of inactivity.

We must revive our public and private sectors in order to provide functional services and secure the good of the individual Nigerian and his or her family,” Buhari said in a document that reveals some of his plans for 2015.

YOUR LINKS DO NOT WORK , YOU CAN TRY IT YOURSELF plz try again

mapet:
The credible source is the Party's manifesto. You heard it on NTA, give the link. As per the link you posted, the party had come out to deny that they never promised to pay 5k to unemployed youths

Seriously??
I have asked you to paste any link where they
1 Deny it
2 promised something different from waht I just posted os wrote.No need to just come up here and counter waht I have said, back it with at least half evidence in print/media.or you want a youtube clip as well, might B hard as Im on my fone in 9ja but Im sure I can do that.

twinskenny:
buy keep o e go still go up

E go still go up? seriously
Nah where to store am B the koko

timsTNA:
Ikwerre and Ibanni stopped claiming Igbos to survive the civil war but like I said

You cant choose your tribe, God has chosen Igbo as your tribe for you so even if you shout you arent Igbo from morning till night, no one is being deceived.

%90 of Niger people speak Hausa, does that make them Hausa?
The Benin people are descendant of Oduduwa, does that make them Yoruba? bot have Obas.
your IPOB movement would be much stronger with the core igbo states.

vhickky:
I don't know if this was actually implemented or a consultant just drew this up, but if this was actually done, if u go to those communities and see the people identified as poor, you would thank God for your own case, and understand the difference between poverty and being better off

I cant go to them states and thats fact,there is poverty everywhere.Even in the Uk we have people who sleep on the street and beg to eat.Im sure we have people from the 9 listed pilot states, now my question for tehm lot, did they withness or k now anyone who bear witness to the CBT?

mapet:
I am telling you, this is twisting of what was campaigned. 5k was never promised to youths..........

It was, as I personal heard him saying it on NTA, That link posted there I see you ignored it fine, why dont you post me one to debunk what I just showed.Lets we forget vonorability is not exactly poverty

dabossman:
The only comments I'm really interested in is that of those who may have benefitted from this program. Everyone on Nairaland is supposedly rich and 5k is beneath them. It's seemingly lunch money or recharge card money for many.

But in the words of the song "Mr. Wendall" from Arrested Development;

"Two dollars means a snack to me, but it means a great deal to you"

True but 5K can never epp anyone on nairaland FACT

mapet:
N5000 was NEVER promised to "youth" during election. You lot just twist and modify facts. N5000 was promised to the "poorest" and the "most vulnerable"

plz paste the quote to ur assumptions
This si what he said
http://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2016/02/29/despite-campaign-pledge-buhari-jettisons-n5000-stipend-to-unemployed-youths/
Now who is twisting things?

vhickky:
No sir, you obviously didn't get the process, the poor households would be identified by the Community members themselves, using the parameters that define poverty in their area..... Poverty is relative, a man can have 10,000 naira and claim to be poor, another can have 10 naira and still claim to be poor..... The question is how do they define poverty in that community?, is is about the number of times they eat in an household, or the number of times firewood fumes comes out in their Compound, in a typical poor community this is a sure indication that they are actually cooking in that household...... Please read more on community based targeting to understand sir.......

... NB: an household can also be defined as a family.....

from your own analysis you can tell this is all a big joke, those who worked had not been paid how do you expect those that had not worked to be paid, more so should the FG no make sure those owed get paid forst to elevate thier own poverty? or waht do you think?

SmartyPants:
Obviously. It is better to teach a man how to fish than to give him fish but it is of no use if he dies of hunger before he has learnt to fish!

This is the impact of this move:

Economic

1. Billions of naira injected into the consumer market will stimulate spending and production, and growth
2. Poverty levels will be reduced. People can add this little amount to the little they already have and it may be just enough to push them above the poverty line

Social

1. Crime rate will be reduced
2. Trust in government will be increased. People will be less inclined to dodge paying taxes

Now, you tell me what it is that you think the poor need and how the previous administration provided it.

There is. Only one thing we Need In Nigeria that will sort both the poor and the rich
We need ELECTRICITY
Even if it takes the FG 2 years to achieve %20 I say go for it.see if people don't get employed . This is not an issue of now. And then FG . It's an issue of leadership . We need the Engine of Nigeria to start and that needs power . The FG is buying into the idea of welfare states when the Rich nations are trying to get out of it.

SmartyPants:
They have created Npower and now this payment to the needy and you are still here making a spectacle of your intransigence?

So you sincerely think N5k is what the despirate poor in our society need ?

eezor:
Can u just concentrate ur Igbo project in ur 5 states? For the fact that there is similarities in names and languages doesn't mean they are Igbos. They have repeatedly told u that. Walk up to ikwere man and tell him he is an Ibo man and see what happens to u. I am a Rivers man.

Ehe tell him.again
