We give thanks my oga.

I’m reducing my elaborate window sizes. When I was in Los Angeles 6 X 5 windows were the thing, now that I’m in Nigeria and looking at N1.5M estimates for windows, Son Of Man had to caution himself and reduce

But we move, no time.

Oga himself. I know say you no go disappoint. Fine crib. Looking at this alone, I am impressed with the design of this interior with the slanting ceiling

I love it when living rooms have shapes unlike the usual square or rectangular shapes we see here in Nigeria.

You should have left that window opening you made and just fix a non openable window. That way, it is cheaper and you have natural light enter the place.

I love windows. Where it becomes expensive, I just put permanent one. That way, you save cost of mosquito net and other window accessories.

I love this your design. Is it a bungalow or a duplex if you don't mind?

I hope all these are not mere youthful exuberance. I have seen the situation where these things happened and they all thought that they were in love.

But when reality sets in after the NYSC, they started blaming themselves for forcing each other on the marriage. One lady even got pregnant and was happy that the guy proposed but when the Nigerian unemployment hit the guy hard, the lady was so remorseful and regretted the whole thing as some of her single mates were pursuing their careers and she was tied down to a marriage where the guy was struggling to support his family.

Please ensure that you are gainfully employed or has something in the offing. Marriage is not a child's play. Love will be dragging you but when there is no finances and your mates seems to be progressing, that love simply dies down.

Look before you leap. Don't go and act titanic. Nigerian situation hard gan!

Let them send all the SARS operatives to North then including the southerners among them who kill and harass their fellow Southerners cos frankly speaking it's mostly Southern policemen that commit the most atttocities.

One week in jungle like Sambisa will reset their brain, that's if they make it out alive.

This is something I have observed overtime. I am happy and comfortable to encounter a Northern SARS or a policeman than his Southern counterpart. And if you are able to communicate with him in Hausa, you are safe and fine.

Northern policemen are more cultured and less confrontational than a typical Southern law enforcement agent.

Woe be tide you if you encounter an Edo, Delta, Ebonyi, Yoruba or middle belt SARS officer, military or policeman.

One of my top Ogas in PH that usually go with retinue of Mopols always made it clear to the Mopol commander that sends boys to him that he doesn't need any officer from Rivers state or any of the southern states. All his escort mopols are typical Aboki policemen with decency, respect and well behaved.

I saw this coming. I consult for a company that makes use of the INTELS logistics in the ports. The company have not being doing anything since February this year likewise some other companies that operates within the oil and gas free trade zone where INTELS provides logistics and port services.

Since INTELS have no clients and companies to service, the fate of their staff are sealed. There is no need attacking INTELS. Sometimes, businesses takes decision to save guard the going concern of the business. So sad that the government of Nigeria could not support to companies which will in turn ensure job retention for their staff.

See what is happening in Europe and America where huge palliatives are being doled out for companies since corporate organizations helps to sustain the survival of any state. Nigerian companies are bleeding heavily and the Onne oil and gas free trade zone in PH has turned into a grave yard of failed and collapsed companies.

Getting paid for my services is becoming difficult and getting any consultancy for any company at this period is even more difficult. God help us abeg!

See how police covered his body and the place barricaded immediately. In Nigeria, people would cluster there and be snapping the corpse

bixton:
Please do we still have this kind of blocks available ........

Lie lie !!! - as years passes by, quality of things continues to go south in Nigeria.

The Catholic Church in my village was built in 1949 using this kind of block. The exterior wall of the church looks like what you have there.

There are a lot of buildings with that kind of block in Aberdeen and all were not even painted. Built with blocks and windows installed.

LukasPodolski:
Look at the environment..


It's time Igbos start developing their Homeland, stop developing Lagos, Accra, Kano, Cape Town etcetera.

igboland needs help.

The poverty rate in remote villages in Enugu and Ebonyi in SE is terrible. Go to their villages and you will pity the kids that are being born there.

God have mercy - a lot of people are keeping mentally deranged sons, daughters or even parents and relatives in their homes. Mental illness is a serious illness biko

I feel sad reading this. If you are a lover of nature and life and watches NATGEO wide, you will hate these people that kills animals for fun. Leave these precious animals in their habitat for God's sake. The domestic animals we have here are enough for us to eat.

Why go into the wild and forest to disturb them in their habitat?

Nigerian youth!! - The unity of purpose in this country is always a mirage!!

We can never agree on one purpose and work towards that purpose - Everything will be viewed from the prism of politics, ethnicity and religion.

I knew it would come to this from the North.

Sometimes when I see some of these poor families with kids, I see some potential menace to the society. Some of these criminals are from poor homes, they were not given any proper attention and care by their stupid parents that brought them to this world. Their is just to born. How the child turns out is not their concern. Government should start arresting the parents of these urchins and charge them to court.

Govt should also take responsibility as these abandoned and street children will eventually take their revenge on the larger society.

It is well.

Once there's vaccine for COVID-19, things should get better.

The carpenter first billed me ₦150,000 to set up scaffolding. I asked him again: Baba sey ₦150 or 150k? Cos I was upset.

I think I ended up paying him ₦50,000.

The ₦650,000 isn't bad. But with the economic condition now and Labourers hardly getting jobs as they're pre COVID-19, I should be able to get it lesser, my thoughts though.

I intend starting on Monday, 12th October with external part First.

I ordered finishing materials, which are yet to arrive Nigeria, since June that includes Kitchen hood, table top Gas stove, lightings and switches, Distribution Boards etc. Hence, we can't do internal plastering for now

You will get labour cheaper these days. They are all begging for jobs now. I used the guys from Togo to do the plastering. Dem sabi waste cement sha but I liked the thickness of the plaster.

Your build is just the same as mine in shape, design and length except the front pillar. There is no pillar on mine. When my wife first saw my building, she said the thing looks like a hall .

Me I no send as I chose the design. It is long as I have additional 2 bedroom duplex attached to the main house.

All the best.

davodyguy:
Hello guys.

Just completed window installation and going to plastering.

Like what cost would be reasonable for plastering this as regard Labour?

Someone said 300 bags of cement, but I've 100 bags in the store already, 2 now of 30 tons plastering sand already purchased. Just Labour cost and Labourers yet to be settled

Length of building is 30m
Breadth is 7m

Height is 7m

Hmmm, first time seeing a house that looks like mine. Same length on a half plot and same monopitch (shade) roof design.

I used about 370bags, 2X30 tones and 1X20 tones all of plastering sand. Labour was 650k all round, including plastering of the decking of ground floor except the living room as I didn't intend putting POP on the ground floor ceiling except the living room. Money no dey bro

Setting up of Scaffolding was about 30k as I already had my bamboo. I did the plastering early January last year and I haven't done anything on the building this year as money no dey. Even the new large windows I bought are yet to be dressed. This year bad gaan

I don't understand this issue of couples fighting over custody. If you are a man and you are divorced, please let the woman have custody with certain times allocated to you for visit and bonding with your kids. After all, divorce doesn't stop them from bearing your name.

You will see people go to any length including murder to have custody of products of their divorced union. If I happened to be in that shoe, I will agree a peaceful divorce separation, let her be with the kids and I will be given the right to visit and know how they are doing. Simple.

It is easier for a woman to bring a child from her former marriage to her new home and look after them than for a man to bring a child to his new marriage. His new wife most likely will maltreat his husband child from another union.

myBraine:
Gaining momentum and spreading like wild fire

But the unity of Nigeria still supercede the agenda of the few. Why is there no protest in the faraway North and the nearby SE?

Should Sars be reformed or it is the digitization of our society that needs to be totally reformed?

Nigerians have been harmed with all the necessary hardware and software needed for efficient web and application development over the years but they still have nothing to show for it. Disarm them by introducing them to modern-day agriculture.

I think people from SE are wise. FG is looking for an opportunity to unleash the Nigerian military on them. Believe me, if they should protest against SARS, IPOB and MASSOB would hijack it.

This will give the FG the reason to deploy massive force there. Let them just maintain. As for the North, if Jonathan was the president, they would have joined. But since it is PMB, any protest from Nigerians is a protest against Buhari.

Yoruba Muslims will be in sifia pain.

Chai!

Igbo Amaka!

Umu Chineke eh!

You are just too stupid without knowing.

You think she knows who you are? Stupid tribalist.

I found the comment of her opponent more classy, professional and matured.

Must she mention Buhari, Nigeria and God? Please don't argue with me.

I think it’s grotesque but as long as he’s happy

Well captured!! Aesthetics and class can't be bought.

The owner should have been advised to simply pick a mono colour than all these colour combinations.

Why transport a MAD man from EAST to WEST? Is there no psychiatric hospital in d whole East?

His relatives or children may be living in Lagos. Mentally challenged people needs support from immediate family and not some frustrated health care workers. Most of them no send you.

I saw one guy in my hood, just a casual friend, doing jugging with his Dad that is about sixty something years and he told me that he brought his father to his house in Lagos to care for him as he was having serious rheumatism and waist pain. I felt for them and also happy for the old man to have a Son that is ready to care for him at old age and in sickness. The young man in his mid 30s seems to be doing well also for himself going by his ride and flat where he stays.

It is good to have your loved ones around you in times of sickness

We don't take maintenance and cleanliness serious in this country. Rotten leadership from head to toe

School managers in Nigeria are simply the worst. They hardly makes effort to put things in order. Steal, Loot and Embezzle - these are the words the understand. The principal and the management will be collecting PTA and other dues from parents and, yet to put things in order will be a herculean task.

mrjojo:
A government building a mall is supposed to be an achievement? 80% of the residence can't even afford to shop there. Nigeria Government and misplaced priority. Is there enough schools, health centers, low-cost housing, etc already ?

They will come for your head. Government should not involve in this kind of thing. I will prefer a decent primary schools in rural villages and not the chicken cages we have. Build skill acquisition centers for youths and empower them. Modernize hospitals and inner street roads. They will rather prefer to build hefty fly over with no economic value. Having well tarred roads and inner street roads are more important than having one gigantic bridge or flyover.

Government in Nigeria are known for misplaced priorities - I am not impressed.

For those that are forward thinking, prepare your kids for French language and other foreign languages. Being multilingual and talented in IT will be one of the enablers for future opportunities and prospects in life.

Trump is smart and a strategist. He would rather allow his opponent guessing on his next strategy. My brother, the COVID thing is a hoax. He is not infected

He would never visit any hospital like the UK prime minister did neither would he give any status of progress of his treatment. He would just announced that both of them have fully recovered two days to the election.
Give it to him!

The wife should still be questioned abeg. I no trust all these young chics wey marry older men. They can murder them to claim inheritance and insurance and go ahead to live a lavish life style with their young boo.

Maybe tomorrow, heavy duty trucks might start coming into my compound. Before then, let me do everything I can do now that I’m still able to.
But I live very close to an area where limestone is blasted almost twice a week and I felt I should do everything and anything to make my project maintenance free.
Some years ago, I heard a rumour that Calabar - Lagos railroad will pass through my area. I don’t want to wait till that time to do the right thing.

So if I may ask my honourable colleague of structural engineer, is there any problem with using that amount of concrete for gate pillars and beam?

I saw this type of beam (picture below) and I knew that’s definitely not what I wanted.


____
By the way we didn’t use gravel for the mix sir.

Chairman, can I see the full picture of that black gate? I am not interested in the beam and pillar mixture argument. The gate itself caught my attention.

If you want to make it private, please send to intldevconsultant@gmail.com

They will go to far flunked villages in Enugu and Ebonyi and bring under aged girls to maltreat them. Very common in Anambra. The way newly married and even older women treats their maids, you will weep. Some of them are even here reading this.

I agree on this school of thought: Igbo ladies are known to treat other children unjustly and jealousy is in their blood.

Showbiz. Taken at a dealership .

Sharp guy! see the cars parked at the other end with car shade/port. For those in Lagos, that place/building where the photo was taken is in lekki phase 1 after Forte oil filling station. They sell exotic tokunbo and new cars there. I am surprised that people didn't flag this fakeness including those living in Lagos

To be a celebrity and continue to trend, you need to package yourself

I trust Access bank to recover the huge bad debt that crippled Diamond Bank. Risk management in Diamond bank was weak. Their recovery team was also weak and there were a lot of insider related dealings in the approval of SME loans in the bank

Hebert Wigwe and Aig Imoukade of Access bank , the current owners and acquirers of Diamond Bank are cowboys and you cant take their money and go free. They sure know how to follow up on debtors. It is not that Access doesn't have bad debtors. Their monitoring and recovery system is far more effective than Diamond Bank.

SmartProf:
Those who defend politicians, help them rig elections as thugs, and insult themselves all day with arguments will never be granted access to this wedding. They can only borrow data to see the invitation card online. Congrats to the couple cos Dubai awaits you guys, while those who defend your parents' detrimental actions to Nigeria are still praying that it should rain so they can fetch drinking water.

Men, I cant stop laughing on this your post with the picture of that man wey life don tire. Nigerian youths, see una life

keep abusing yourself because of Tinubu, IPOB, Buhari, Wike, PDP, APC, Igbo Amaka, Yoruba Muslim, Aboki etc

These men are balling hard behind your back. See Ribadu that finished Atiku, calling him the most corrupt because OBJ was using him to attack Atiku.

His handlers have started the packaging. Na so e dey be

Dem for leave am for US where she dey hustle - All these Nigerians wey dey abroad, dem go dey there still dey hustle job for Naija with us.
