My people has a proverb for such erroneous beliefs. "Nwoke kpakalia ibe ya na nku, a si na o kpalu nke ya n'ajo ohia" meaning "When a man fetches more firewood than his peers, they will allege that he fetched his from the evil forest"

Good people mad insane money from every good idea. Let's stop glorifying the devil.

Lol..where blood money dey... I want to go there

Touts are different from robbers

I think population won’t allow people to build superfluous mansions in Lagos. A city that holds about one eighth of Nigeria’s population.

So no matter how rich you’re, you can’t buy Lagos.

Guess what, most of these guys buying Nnewi lands have properties in Lagos and they’re mostly within [left][/left]3,000 - 5,000 sqm.

I saw the penalties paid in Anambra and I cannot but smile and understand why the big boys are buying every land.

Edit:
There are some areas in Lagos that you’ll spend over 100m on land use charge. Quote me anywhere. So you’d have a rethink before you buy a massive land that’ll increase your cost.

They are probably buying for future purposes... Land use charge isn't applicable to empty land. Some day, those plots will be highly sort after. If i was told that i will pay for 9m for a plot less than 450 sqms. U won't agree. Not in Lagos but in the east.

n3xt:
If rent is as cheap as 350k, it makes no financial sense to buy a land and build any type of house there. You won’t recoup your investment in 2 decades even if the rent is increased by 300%.

I once lived in an estate where you pay N2m/ annum to rent a 2 bedroom BQ and 1000sqm land is sold N45m within the estate.
We also pay as much as N7m / annum (and even far more) to rent duplexes in some location in Lagos.

If it’s an industrial area, the price 100m/plot is still cheap compared with what’s obtainable around here.

Instead of investing in such area, a wise investor will look for land in neighboring communities and buy land at cheap price to develop residential projects.
If however, the plan is to flip lands - it’s a wise decision in my own opinion.

My brother, wetin dey inside bottled water,when i will still come back home to drink sachet water

diordaves:
I understand clearly this line of argument you and michlins are putting forward. It is not hyping Nnewi. It is the statistical fact. This is called localisation of industry in elementary economics. You want to site your industry where the amenities and market are.

The land prices are driven by the need for industry and manufacturing. Built up industrial plots are priced higher, so Nnewi industrialists see each plot as a potential industrial/manufacturing plot.

People should understand that it is not always residential, there is industrial element as well. If you don't understand this, you will be thinking 100m for a plot is not economical. It is economical. Get a plot for 100m, build your industry for 300m for example, that is 400m investment. Your first year of trading (goods), you will get that money back. The industrialists know this, so they are ready to cough up good money for industrial plots.

People say I will use that money to buy two houses in Lagos for example and rent. It's all about ROI. This is not appreciating land economics. The ROI for top notch industrial complex will always be higher for a corresponding residential property.

Take Agbara in Ogun State for example, a residential plot in the area is on average 1.5m but in Agbara Industrial Estate, the situation is different. Same in Apapa, Ikeja etc.

If I'm to add my one Kobo... The simple truth is that there are no more lands at nnewi.eveb anambra state as a whole is having similar challenges. The billionaires are doing what we call akuluono. Remember records have it that nnewi have the highest numbers of billionaires.

Bros I never finish o.

Cement price hike stalled the job. And for now no funds.

So far, workmanship is 49k

We dey same motor,I did the external at 4k for cement. Used 70 bags.

Dijita:
Please guys can anyone advise on the genuineness of the 50 years warranty been offered on stone coated roofing sheets? Money if you can chipped in it will be highly appreciated

Just add 50 years to your age.. I don't believe those word's. Warranty is usually on aluminium not colour change.

n3xt:
At 23 - 26k, it’s good value for the money.

Below are heavier doors with hefty price tag.

This soup contains stock fish,beef,round about, snail,dried fish. The one i saw doesn't come with frame

n3xt:
It’s a wooden door with anti-rust steel lamination. It is suitable for interior use only.

I saw one sometime ago... Its so light

n3xt:
They’re not bad. I actually used them on commercial builds (about 5 projects) and we’ve not had any major complaints about them in years.

They’re not bad if you can get the original ones.

________

Most of the tenant who occupied the project where we used the doors fell in love with it at first sight. Maybe we got lucky tho

Are they wooden doors?

kopell:
Hahaha this is not funny ooo, brother you need to attend this class regularly to learn many things ooo.

Lagos wahala be like bicycle,its not difficult to start... I don't like stress, can't withstand the trouble of omo onile and co.

This is the estate that I'm presently building... No payment to tout.

davodyguy:
Ideally it pays to build to taste, but the terrain in Nigeria is discouraging. Start building and see different LASG agencies that you never know exist visit your site for documentations, couple with Omo Onile, area boys etc

When you build, you can be rest assured of comfort, compared with what a profit minded developer would do, just to make his return.

I'm building in an estate,ive not made any extra payment to anyone,either government or whoever. Though not in Lagos

patiently looking forward to seeing your finished house. Might be the motivation ave been waiting for all along �

My house na Kobo Kobo, Abi make i say Penny penny

michlins:
as I see the 13ml, even me weak because I never build. Anyone who told you he wants to build a three bedroom apartment is indirectly saying he doesn't have plenty money to spend so you should encourage him by giving him good designs that won't cost too much. 5ml is a good starting point. While he builds, he can choose to add or subtract on the designs knowing it will affect his budget also

n3xt:
Let’s settle this


Pick one. All na house

No.3

zuraking:
lol. We all know most house builder na Kobo kobo people. If the money dey, we go carry money buy house for good location. How will someone be telling me I will spend 13m building an average 3 bedroom bungalow.

Bros,not everyone like to buy ready made house. 13m for a bungalow is very possible. Me sef done dey reach that cost.

spyder880:
Enugu cement prices are coming down, a dealer asked me to come and carry for N3,500 yesterday. I was telling him N3,400 or no show.
