Happy New Year to you and your family. May God make 2016 a better year than 2015.

@Fastshipping,

I told one of my client I'll win "Grammy" (don't correct me, I'm not drunk) with my ongoing builds. My prayer is God should give all of my contemporary clients the fund to complete to taste!

Opon Ise Ile kiko ti sun. Construction don pass "na so we dey do am"

But here, our people call it packaging (as if I care). There's no special difference between "Four Flat" and "MultiDwelling Apartment", they are both a building constructed by different people. One was conceptualized and constructed by the people who live in the moment and while the other is constructed by people stucked in old way of doing things.
That is one of my points. The engineer who was doing my thing from the beginning is fantastic when it comes to doing good structures but he is inept when it comes to doing new designs (contemporaries and modern). The guy understands good and solid structure but design wise, he is poor. Imagine someone still stuck in the past and went ahead to erect round columns in front of my sun room after I instructed him to give me rectangular or square columns. Imagine building an arch in my dining entrance and one ugly bar with arch when there was no place in my floor plan calling for bar. Such nonsense are not meant to go with contemporary designs. Some lintels were built as arch ways. I got a nairalander to correct the craps but the person I gave the work to for correction was even worse. He created a window somewhere without a lintel. I was screaming at him the moment he sent me pictures of what he thought were good work. It cost me some dough to breakdown the anomalies.

Nairaland is blessed with riffraff and professionals as well. grin grin

This is long overdue, though the guy has some point because Nigeria are very frustrating but he should not have started with insult and hate preaching. please the FG should consider and release him.
I agree with you.

There is no reason to hold the guy for another day. He should be released immediately. He must have learned his lessons.
PoliticsRe: Biafra: Kanu Apologises To Buhari, Jonathan, Igbo Elders by FastShipping: 3:47am On Dec 30, 2015
They should release the guy jare. We all know he did wrong with the way he insulted Hausa/Fulani and Yorubas. The fact that he was in a video soliciting for weapon to fight Nigeria was another masterstroke to nail him. But for the sake of peace and co-existence of Nigeria, the federal government should go ahead and release the guy jare. What Kanu is currently going through should serve as deterrence to the future Nnamdi Kanus coming up.

Of course I change people easily. A builder has to leave when he is instructed to do something the way I want it done and he turns around and do something else or brings up "we can't do that here in Nigeria" or tells me "this is not obodo oyinbo".

There is nothing special about artisans that are in Germany, UK or USA. The only difference between artisans in the western world is their ability to be professional with the way they handle things. They make sure things are done right, timely and perfectly. They are calm when working. The perfect outcome is what they are after before getting paid.

On the other hand, Nigerian artisans make it look like they are doing you a favor. They are not always professionals. They are mostly not open to new ideas. Most of them are stuck in old way of doing things.

The land is dry. Only you know the person I'm talking about. I just stopped using him because he was always busy with his Lekki works.

Two more Nairalanders worked there before too. I am on another nairalander now. Hopefully this one is last nairalander. I change them like underwear.

EgunMogaji:
This was in ikorodu I think.
No sir.

I was surprised my builder told me it was unnecessary to do German floors and bunch of pillars. He only doubled up the blocks for foundation on one side and the back side with four short pillars in the back, two high pillars on one side where there is a slight slope. Also did two pillars in the front. No chain lintel anywhere. He called it waste and unnecessary.

The builder is here in property section and top two engineers here. He is part of nairaland first generation engineers. No one has done more Lekki construction in property section than him. I just gave you a hint.

noblezone:
Dear Nigerians,
I need at least a great heart who can inspire Hope in me again for Nigeria.

Someone should convince me with great reasons on why I should be a Nigerian.

For all I know, Nigeria is an estate of slave traders. Our founding father Mr. Laggard was a hardened criminal whose cruelty and inhuman treatment of out fathers, stinks.

He forcefully, took our lands and our rights, and then created a nation for us.

Nigeria. is a jungle!

This is a nation where innocent people will be sleeping in their homes at night, and a group of their fellow citizens will attack them, kill them, many them and burn their houses.

If any of them complains, they are told, it's ONE Nigeria!
One Nigeria at whose expense?

Who can inspire me?

Bring it on.
Did you just realize this after Jonathan lost an election?

It's available everywhere they sell building materials. N6,000 per sheet and you'll require 120 sheets for the 120*120ft fence. It's worth the cost if you actually own for your project though.
