How did Nigeria become a terrorist haven country? These rag heads shouldn't be difficult to wipe out from Nigeria if our leaders have the resolve to do so.

Mr. Allen, please give it a rest. The house appreciate your contribution.

On the other hand, could you please give us the cost of your own project from foundation to roofing level? The house you have looks very nice.

What do you think between using a sanding machine or using bare hand when smoothing the POP? Does using machine make a difference?

Bro, How much do you ship from South Carolina SC 29615 to Lagos via Atlanta? Towing and shipping estimate and also from Long Island to Lagos via New Jersey
There is no port in Atlanta. Greenville, SC to Lagos via Savannah - $250 + $950 = $1200. That is if your vehicle is clean and free of accident. Port in Savannah only accepts clean vehicles. If your vehicle is accidented, we have to take it to Jacksonville, FL. To JAX port - $375 + $950.

Long Island NY to port, then Lagos - $300 + $950.

No DPC?

Hajji Mufutau
Hajj, leave this DPC thing alone grin. It is unnecessary in most homes built on solid land in Nigeria. This overbuilding of homes is waste of resources. My house is 70ft by 58ft and I refused to do the DPC either and the house is super solid. Have a solid foundation and you are good to go. I have consulted widely on this topic and I don't find DPC to be important in homes built on solid land.

Obinoscopy:
The post in bold have confirmed that you lied initially when you said a 40K monthly earner can afford those Fashola houses. Please always learn to be straightforward and honest. Don't mimic those lying politicians.

Now that you've admitted that the common man who earns 40K or less can't afford, I can now answer your questions.

You asked if I read all whatbyou wrote? Yes, I did. But I was looking for ur honest answer to my question. And it took you a while to understand my question.

You asked if the Government is a Charity Organisation? My answer is Yes! A government is a charity organisation and it's benefactors are supposed to be the citizens, esp the low-income and middle-income earners. The rich and the super-rich can take care of themselves.

You were asking me about London Borough? Wetin concern me with London. Their economy is way above ours. The purchasing power of their citizens is way higher than ours. So biko don't compare us with London.

You were mentioning Mortgage crises? This is not supposed to be a business scheme. It's a social scheme. The government mustn't make profit from this venture. They should build low cost houses for their tac paying citizens. The government can afford it, they mustn't rely on the loans from private mortgage firms.

You say people are not complaining? Seriously? This shows you are truly disconnected from the people on the streets.

You asked how many estates have your PDP led cherished government provided? Well, i don't know. Many none sef. But the fact that the PDP government are misbehaving should not give the APC government the leeway to misbehave too. If the PDP isn't in tune with the masses, it's the job of the APC to demonstrate good governance by reaching out to the masses. It's only then that we can now see APC as an alternative to the incompetent government in power. But if APC keeps engaging in policies that won't better the common man then we're torn between the devil and the deep blue sea.
You want a situation where every tom, dick, and harry can buy any of these homes, right? Government shouldn't be in the business of building homes. Now that government is doing that, should the government be doing this at a loss? If this is run as social service, where do you expect government to fund more of these schemes?

Think, PDP man.

Chinom:
Your argument is flawed. The state government has no business in constructing COMMERCIAL housing. It should build SOCIAL houses with little profit motive. The houses bought and sold in the US and Europe are private houses owned by private developers or banks. A state govt should not build houses for sale. Definitely not at such prices.
I agree with you that government should not be in the business of building homes but in the absence of private entities building homes, what should the government do? The Lagos State government is trying to fill the vacuum here. Government building homes has been in our society before I was born. I don't think this is going to stop anytime soon.

Chinom:
Not only is NOT affordable to the common man, it's also sold to cronies of Fashola and the Lagos state govt. Most are bought by corrupt senior civil servants who subsequently rent it out. The housing scheme is a sham. In Europe, a cleaner would be given a council apartment. How many cleaners can afford to live in the so-called low income state housing scheme ?.
Don't just come here with that nonsense. Give us fact to back up your claim. Some of you love to spread falsehood without any iota of truth to it. So don't bring baseless argument here.

How many of Fashola's cronies bought any of these flats? I dare you to list their names.

By the way, how do you define "common man"?

@pendy79

You've said it all.

Obinoscopy is pained an APC governor is doing this. He would have found way to give credit to this housing scheme if this was done by a PDP governor. The guy is an hatchet man for PDP on nairaland.com.

I don't know what his obsession of 40,000 naira is all about. Lagos State Government is not a charity organization that provides free housing to its people. The funds used in building this affordable housing are derived from taxes paid by the people of Lagos. If government should start giving out homes to every dick and harry, the government won't be able to continue to build more of this home. Obinoscopy needs to stop making it look as if most families bring home 40,000 naira as monthly take home. Obinoscopy, have you factored in a situation where both husband and wife work and earn monthly income? If husband and wife earn between 80,000 -120,000 naira as jointly income, they should be able to afford buying one of these flats. I don't see anything wrong if some can't afford this homes. It is like that in the U.S and other western countries. Buying a home with mortgage is not a must. Some families will still not be able to afford this even if the government sets the down payment at 100,000 naira and set the monthly payment at 10,000 naira. So what is Obinoscopy's point?


The reason why the U.S economy collapsed 6 years ago was as a result of government providing loans to people who in normal society could not have been able to afford buying home. The administration of George Bush made the homes available to a lot of low income earners and economy crashed after these people were unable to meet up with paying mortgage. So many banks collapsed as a result of this and so many people lost their homes to foreclosure.

I don't buy into argument that everyone should be able to afford to buy one of these flats being provided by Lagos State Government. The government has provided an enabling environment to workers who work and earn steady income. If you can't afford this, then work harder.

The question Obinoscopy should be asking is; why are other states not doing the same housing scheme in other states?

Obinoscopy is PDP hatchet man on nairaland. He seems pained this project was overseen by an APC Governor. Look at the speed he moved it to property section. What is wrong with the thread staying in politics section? Fashola is a politician and this is part and parcel about politics because it showcases the work of a particular politician in Lagos who happens to be number one politician in Lagos.

Obinoscopy, your bias knows no bound. I don't really blame you because you are always trying to outshine your master (Seun).

Yeah he definitely got greedy. $585huh He has never charged me that amount before from Scranton. But again I haven't used him since April or so. I'm shipping most from Georgia/ Florida these days so Jacksonville port. Oh yeah, he was the one that told me about Wilmington shocked me sef never know. I was with SAL and had to change shipping company. I will be on the lookout for good drivers with good rates for you when I get one again.
You know we get into desperate mode once storage fee is pilling up and no driver to do pick up. I hope you don't use uship for pick up in GA and FL.

Introducing myself...GM, Wall Finish Projects. We just commenced Design & Build, but we've been mainly engaged with building finishing and renovations over the years. Most of our jobs have been in the North...Abuja, Kaduna, Kano, Maiduguri, Sokoto, Kebbi and Katsina. Before now,our jobs entailed taking over buildings after plastering stage and providing excellent finishing of various types...ranging from plaster board walls and POP ceilings, conventional painting to the exotic(especially Italian) and tiling . You will all agree with me that finishing is where most of us in the industry get it wrong these days,especially as regards attention to detail and that's our forte. For example, how many builders do you know use machines for sanding walls before painting in Nigeria? This makes a world of difference to the eventual outcome of the finished job and saves you 70% time if you know what you are doing, without necessarily adding to cost. We have also built strong partnerships with experts in other aspects of the building industry not within our core scope of operations. Permit me post some of our POP jobs, since it's the topic at hand.
You have some good designs of POP that I haven't seen here before.
Please, create a thread to showcase you good work and give us your contact information.

Haha. I haven't used him in a while. But Bayonne port can be crazzzy. He once slept in his truck overnight for my drop off as he was unable to deliver the car cos of the long line. They close by 4pm and he was there since 1pm. He was doing Wilmington for me for a while for cheap with no wait times. Too bad they closed wilmington angry hope you have a driver with better rate? Bill never disappoints though.
How doesn't disappoint but he got greedy. I gave him a lot of drop off and I always pay him before pick up. $500 to Bayonne from PA is high. He did one for me from Scranton that I ended up paying Bill $585 after paying over $200 on storage fee at the auction. I was the one who initiated him into the Wilmington port. He never went there until I told him about the place. I had him take one of my drop off there.

That guy you introduced to me in PA is crazy. Imagine he now charges $500 to go to Bayonne from PA area. That is an increase of 100%.

Really? I see it a lot in Nigerian movies. Not the quality I like but they should have them in Nigeria somewhere. How much can I get a living room set from your side? I also learnt it's contraband from my clearing agent and might be ceased or pay major bucks to get out from customs. I will have to also get a 20 ft container to load this as they mostly come assembled.
They have it in Nigeria but the quality won't be as high as the ones you've displayed here. I don't really know how much they are sold for but my guess says $5,000-$7,000 for set. They are contraband when you ship them to Nigeria without other things. Load three vehicles in in a 40ft container and some furniture. Guess what, I am sending some furniture to Nigeria this coming Friday with vehicles in the container as well.

Elvis07, you are not the only person with kind of problem... Look at the photo below from some stage on my Duplex project.
Originally the German Floor was not done, although the filled the foundations block holes with mortar concrete before they laid the first block of the ground Floor, and it was left like that for a long time.. so later I decided to German (concrete the floor) all the floors, room by room, because of trees and grass growing inside. I did not have any problem.. this is also on a dry land.. that would not have been advised on a wet land anyway.
So have no fear just tell your friend to concrete the floor as soon as possible; room by room... Be at peace.

You concrete flooring looks very neat. Normally I don't see our people do concrete floor smooth as this.

Did you use granite or regular washed gravel?
