15 Million will do that perfectly well.

A man in my area used 12 million to build a good bungalow, more beautiful than the one OP attached to his photo.

All those crazy people shouting 50M are thieves. Buy the materials yourself and don't allow the engineer to do it.

I would have shown a photo, but the man wouldn't like to see his house online because he is a Military person.


Make una just dey mumu for nairaland. Learn and stop arguing and quoting me.


We are talking about Three bedrooms here and not 5 bedrooms.

If a trip of sand is 180k, filling 3 rooms a parlor and a kitchen and bathrooms would take let's say 6 tippers of sand = 1.8 M

Then the rods should take 2.5M for foundation.

Casting it + cement + granite should be 4 M

Blocks can be 800k

The ceiling and roofing should be 2.5M since it's 3 bedroom

Windows and doors should be 1.5M ( 3 doors 3 rooms, kitchen, and toilet and bathroom + entrance) making 6 doors= 600k windows and the rest 600k
Workmanship 1.5M

Is the building not set already?

The OP never specifies internal decoration, just building.


No wonder many people fail exams.

You just made it painfully obvious that you don't know about building.

See, eehn....the person who told you he used N12m to build a good bungalow told you a big lie.

1 bag of cement na how much? Over N9,000. How much is a block? Not less than N500-600 for a good one, not garri block o.

The roof alone will gulp up to N6 million for a very small 3 bedroom if it's stone coated roof tiles or good aluminium long span sheets.

Tiles nko? I spent almost N1 million on tiles 2 YEARS AGO! how much will it be now? What of PoP ceiling? I used over a million on that, too, back in 2022.

Look how you counted doors! Loooool! Lemme help you out, nigga. You need it.

Right: for a 3 bedroom all ensuite bungalow, each room na 2 doors, one into the room and one from the room to the toilet/bath. Kitchen na 2 doors. Into the kitchen and from kitchen to store. Front door. Back door. Visitors bathroom. Total: 11 doors. We bought "cheap' Turkish Harmony doors back in 2022, almost N60k each. How much e go be now?

Wiring, plumbing? My wires and fittings cost N1,090,000 in 2022. Buhari time, o, before the crazy inflation.

Just forgerrit

Clairvoyancy:
Really? are you actually following the guy? Yes he's got a lot to do, but trust me, cases like this are on top of his scale of preference... The guy is so invested in cleaning up the States....

Of course, I'm following him.

Clairvoyancy:
This current US is even more likely to do that compared to the previous one, is Trump a joke to you, worst part is when it involves a non indigene...

Trump has a lot to do, Bro. He's got his work cut out for him.

Biden and Harris literally wrecked the US with inflation, government waste, and DEI appointments placing charlatans in sensitive positions like that female Secret Service Director.

Pelosi, her husband and co also, with insider trading by members of Congress.

I just hope Trump/Musk/Ramiswamy don't fall out. DOGE will really help the US.

In it's current shape, America cannot do what you expect should come naturally to them.

Clairvoyancy:
This current US is even more likely to do that compared to the previous one, is Trump a joke to you, worst part is when it involves a non indigene...

Trump has a lot of work to do, Bro......Biden/Harris have messed up the country with DEI appointments placing incompetents in sensitive positions.

Clairvoyancy:
I do not agree with you on this one, that's African way of doing things if you will ask me, the US will rather channel his knowledge or convert his knowledge in combating fraud crime... He might work with agencies like FBI, CIA and the likes but will be on contract and not a full staffs... The US are wiser than what you suggested

Not this current US, Bro.....

jericco1:
Who are the spokesperson for these terrorists

Ah-ah

Na Goomie naa!

You dey ask again?

Clairvoyancy:
Instead this guy to laylow maybe he could be pardon to do a shorter time, but no, that show off lifestyle that got him arrested in the first place won't allow him...

Nigerians and show off is like 5&6

That prison has possibly linked him up to dangerous individual fraudsters, hackers and fraud syndicates.

Have you heard the saying: "In the US, it's not prison, but crime school"?

Hushpuppi getting locked up is prolly like a brilliant medical student locked up with medicine professors.

That guy is gonna get worse once he gets out!

Mynd44:
I have heard Nigerians use "bride Price" and "Dowry" interchangeably and they seem to think they are the same. People just assume the bride price is the dowry or that they mean the same thing but this is a wrong assumption.

I knew this in Social Studies when I was in Primary 5 and it shocks me when people who I think went to school around the same time (not the current era where I don't understand the curriculum) make the same mistake. Perhaps people just think because they are both possessions and gifts exchanged around the time of a wedding they mean the same but nah. They are very distinct things.

So here is the major difference



From the definition above

1. Bride Price is given to the family of the bride by the groom and/or his family and this is mostly set by the Bride's Family.

2. Dowry is the property or money given to the bride by her family when she marries and she takes these things to her marital home.

In some cultures, Dowries cannot be sold by the couple as it is wealth that passes through only the female line so only the bride's daughter can inherit them. Thats why you see where some families have jewelry that their great grandmother used and a female descendant still wears it. It can even be shares of a company etc.

There has been cases in India and Northern Nigeria called "Dowry theft" in these cases, they grooms family (mostly committed by the groom's family) tries to convert the properties of the bride and steal them. I know India had to pass legislation against it. Sometimes, the husband himself tries to steal these possessions.

Note also that in a divorce, the husband cannot lay claim to the dowry as these are personal gifts and are mostly acquired before marriage so are outside the purview of shared items.

In Nigeria, dowries can include, Kitchenware, livestock, land, jewelry and in some parts of the north, the father actually buys furniture.

Note that Dowry is not wedding gifts given to the couple. These are gifts for the two of them.

Aaaahhhhh! 2025 is beginning on a good note, thank God!

Nice one!

I'm so glad for this thread!

In Ilorin in the old days, a bride took a dowry to her husband's house. It was usually in the form of cookware, footwear, cloth, etc. (even GOLD!!), which she starts to sell, so she has her own money. Back in the days, some women were far richer than their husbands, especially where the men were civil servants.

The wives took care of their kids, which was partly the reason why it was easier for the men to practice polygamy.

I may be wrong (because I was quite young those decades ago), but I think the women of the bride's family contributed to the dowry. I remember they carried all the stuff on their heads and walked to the groom's house, a long party of women carrying goods.

What a memory!

I'm not sure it exists anymore.

Na de native doctor clients I dey pity.

PrinceOfLagos:
Rivers State governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has presented Certificates of Recognition and Staff of Office to former Niger Delta militant leader, Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, and three others as newly recognised traditional rulers in the state.


Dokubo-Asari was presented with a certificate and staff of office as the Amanyanabo of Torusarama Piri in Degema local government area of the state.

Others are HRM, Winston Odize Alamina Oputibeya XII, as the Amanyanabo of Koniju in Okrika local government area; HRM Eze Noble Friday Uwo as the Eze Igbu-Ehuda (Ahoada) IV in Ahoada-East local hovernment area and HRH Prince Ike Ehie as the Eze Igbu Orilukwoe in Ahoada-East local government area of the state.

Presenting the certificates and staff of office to the four new traditional rulers at Government House, Port Harcourt on Tuesday, Governor Fubara urged them not to see their new positions as tool for personal aggrandizement, rather they should see it as a call for service and responsibility to help government protect lives and property in their respective domains.


The governor said: “Let me first of all, on behalf of the government, congratulate the four of you. It has not been an easy journey to get to this point. I know a lot of you have been working very hard to ensure the success of this day. Your appointment in terms of this recognition is not for personal aggrandizement, but a call for service, a responsibility to help us protect lives and property in your domains.”

He stated that though government has the power to withdraw the recognition from any traditional ruler found wanting, Fubara quickly added that it was not his intention to exercise such authority, and warned them not to use the privileged positions to create problems in their domains, but join forces with government to ensure the success of the administration in it’s avowed commitment to deliver dividends of democracy to the people.

Fubara said, “I don’t want you to see this elevation as another platform to create problems in your locality. We have the power to still withdraw the recognition, but I don’t intend to do that. So, I want you to be partners with the government to ensure that we continue to succeed.

“I know that you are all men of integrity. Support the course of governance so that we can all succeed together. It is really a privileged position, and I am very sure that you are going to use it to the best of the interest of your people.”

In his opening remarks, the State’s Commissioner for Chieftaincy and Community Affairs, Engr. Charles Amadi, said the newly recognised traditional rulers include two royal majesties and two royal highnesses, and commended Fubara for adding into the number of Rivers State Council of Traditional Rulers.

Why won't he attract beggars when he's the one who beggared most of them?

His policies got the majority of them started in their begging careers.

Wow! France is fast losing face in West Africa.
But I know they won't bow out without a fight.
I expect them to re-activate ISIS/Jihad in West Africa.

I just hope our Ay-pee-shit government won't be the ones to provide the environment......in the whole of West Africa, where else are terrorists operating with impunity?

On the day of presentation, you failed bullet proof test and imagine this

You may be right, but I hope this pic below addresses this particular situation.

It's being investigated and so far believed to have been a deliberate act of arson.

ITbomb:
I really don't like this dude

I wonder if you would like him better if the "fan" pulled out a gun and put his aass in the ICU or the morgue, eh?

Anyway, I don't even listen to any of these guys' music, so I'm totally indifferent, so don't think I'm a fanboy or a groupie of some sort.

Just that it's normal for a human to remove himself from potential danger.

Just stay at home!

Avoid crowds!

Avoid freebies!

Do the above and stampede will.not be your portion.

"Loved" by stupid people who were obviously paid to come to the road and praise their oppressor for.tge price of a meal.

Look at the poverty-riddled people!

Will an educated, well-paid person come to the road like this?

The funny thing is, these wicked people.knkw this, so they keep people poor and dumb.

So because of one. . I mean one. Just one bad experience you have judged everyone from russian univ? Common man.

Did you read anywhere that I judged EVERYONE?

I have always respected Russia when it comes to building heavy engineering facilities, so I was taken back by this dude's performance. I only asked how possible it was to finish in Russia and still not perform in Nigeria.

MadamVanessa:

He made such an incredible choice. Akwa Ibom women are the best for any man. I can hit my chest proudly and recommend them to any sensible man. Congratulations to them.

Can you also recommend the men to any sensible woman to marry?

I will be concerned if you can't, because it will mean the society is skewed towards producing top-notch women and not men.

Bro what type of job was he interviewed for?was it medical related or what?a lot of us are just curious and want to know..

No.

Not medical.

Engineering.

DLifeless1:
A Muslim in their normal tayiqa can assume anything just to spread their lies and propaganda, so say another thing.

Okay. Saying "another thing".

Sebi it is written, any spirit which does not acknowledge Jesus as the only begotten Son of God and that God raised Him from the dead is an Antichrist spirit.

I believe that Jesus is the only begotten Son of the Lord Jehovah, Maker of the Heavens and the Earth. Jesus died fr my sins and was raised from the dead, and He sits at the Father's right hand. He will come again to judge all and reward all according to their works.

Is this taqiyya also?

Like they usually do, ever since I got here, the government of Russia, through my University's dormitory system gave every student an end of the year gift. In previous years, it used to be chocolate (filled) boxes and goodies but this year, they decided to give us a lunch.
.
I find it inspiring and loving that a federal University shows this kind of warm gesture to its students every year.

It's a good gesture.

Now, one question......is it possible for a Nigerian to go to a Russian University, graduate and be unable to perform upon return to Nigeria? I am really concerned because of a recent experience I had with someone who graduated from a Russian University.

I interviewed him for a job and he just about failed every question I threw at him.

He was even arguing with me over a point I made until I went online and proved him wrong.

In the end, a colleague and friend convinced my boss and I to take him, and we put the guy on the team of the same guy that was begging on his behalf.

Fast forward a couple of months, my friend was complaining about his performance.

DLifeless1:
So it is right in 2024 because the US did it, that is why you Muslims still use archic worthless quoran written when rape is glorified by your useless prophet Mohammad

Look at my moniker well and ask yourself weda no be hangover dey do you as you tok say I be Muslim.

Meanwhile, both US and Russia are peas in a pod. They are the same. I don't know why people like you bring in religion while taking sides with hedonistic, grossly irreligious people!

Russia.is killing Ukrainians, US killed Vietnamese with weapons that are now banned. Napalm, cluster bombs, poison gas......US used a nuke on Japan, killed thousands, and they have so far murdered over 60 million babies in the name of abortion rights which is actually sacrificing to Molech.

Please pursue knowledge, my brother. It's willing to be caught at a certain speed, but you have to really go for it.
