this is why I usually tell people to use iron doors but they will tell you it's not good for internal doors. Eight years down the line, the only thing you will do on iron doors is to repaint it and you have yourself a brand new door.

Buildings are meant to last and not act as liability. Here's a sample of door that I delivered to oga Spyder yesterday. It was paid for by another Nairalander

How much? Can I get two in Lagos?

EgunMogaji2:

EgunMogaji2 --Please let's keep this particular tread going as well. So far, it has been insightful for me, if you can, from time to time share your experience. Challenges, good news and stuff like that, that may encourage others to make that move. You gave an advice on the general tread that I thought was very valuable, "don't form big boy, there are others bigger boys here"

For me personally, it the lack of trustworthy people, be it relatives, workers....

Thanks
P.S
WE STILL WANT TO SEE YOUR MICRO ESTATE 000!!

Pls. we want to see pictures of this your estate oo!!!

EgunMogaji2:
Thank you my Brother, I appreciate you.

I’m actually doing a new micro estate in Ibadan. The idea is that as soon as you’ve entered the gate then you’re in the USA while still giving a nod to our African tradition. Construction is actively ongoing on one of the 5 units.

I went back to the USA last year to spend a few months. I fled back exactly a week after I landed because it was just all foreign to me. Nigeria is very very good. Yeah it’s not perfect, but one can mostly sidestep the inconveniences.

My advice to folks who might be indecisive: If you have skills, ideas, knowledge to improve Africa please come home. Just keep your head down, don’t play big boy (there are much more bigger boys than you here). Don’t come to apply for job, come to create jobs and industry. The Chinese are doing it, African Americans are here doing it.

God bless your project, your hands that started shall finish in Jesus name! You will enjoy your labor! Is this a duplex? Pls. I didn’t get your mail. I am very interested!

Wish you all the best

Cheers

We started in in Mid April, during lockdown and roofed early July.

All direct Labour and I got all materials myself, only paid all workers[/quote]

Please share his contact, I am sure he wouldn't mind, how much was each of those doors again. The one in the picture above?

Baba, I contacted theses people and they gave me a ridiculous price!! 55k plus 10k for installation and key�� I am not happy at all.

Can you pls. post pictures of the interior doors you did for 360,000? I am also interested

davodyguy:
Yes I did or I am about to

All internal doors would be wooden, skin door with thick layers and chrome

There are a total of 18 doors. Some with regular frames and others with be with HDF modern frames
Total bargain is around N360,000

For the exit, we have 8 doors, out of which one is 4ft and others regular 3ft.
I'll do 4 American panel and 4 'Nigerian welder' metal door for durability

I will be contacting you very soon!

Fonyeri:
Yes and we can make it waterproof.

ok, we will talk soon!

Person2person:
56,000 with installation

[how much is that black HDF door, 1st one on the bottom row.

Hello, I like your work, can this be done for kitchen & bathroom walls instead of tiles?

From my observation and what people on ground tell me, medical in 9ja is a complete joke! I once went to 9ja in March and met this wonderful YOUNG female tailor in obalande that made some clothes for my wife and kids, I mean, she was good!! I went back in Sept of the same year, she was dead!!! She was so vibrant when I first met her! I asked how she died, they said she just has a minor illness and she just died!! just like that!! I couldn't believe it, she couldn't have been 30 year old!!!

Egunmogaji2 and Hajji M that name!!
Is electric fence really helpful? I will like to know before I invest in it.

Hajji, I am in MD, I will love to meet you someday.

thanks

uboma:
I am sad to hear that a medical doctor is frowning at your request to have annual medical examinations. According to him, it is only when you are ill that it is necessary.... This is unacceptable. Our healthcare system in Nigeria needs a complete overhaul.

You are too funny!!!

EgunMogaji2:
1) Medical. I’m having to convince my doctor that I actually need an annual physical exam. Baba doesn’t think it’s necessary unless I’m ill Oh also, I buy all my supplies. Needles, gloves, etc for the nurse.” I mean they have them but I can’t trust that system for hygiene.

2) Family. Easier said than done but based on feedback, just let madam dey for abroad. You personally will have an adjustment but now think having to be responsible for madams adjustment. It’ll all be your fault when NEPA unceremoniously takes light as she’s boiling meat in the kitchen or having a bath.

And people will bring their issues to you. But you gotta watch that budget. Nigeria is a cold hard place if you’re broke.

thanks! apart from security, lack of good medical care is my next issues as well, then family. Till now, my wife is still not a 100% onboard, we are not getting any younger and what we are use to here is not available in Africa. The banking advice, I will take care of that soonest! Thanks again. One thing for sure though, is I will not be getting involved in politics, its not my cup of tea.

EgunMogaji2:
1) One man from LA moved back after he had a stroke.

2) A woman moved back after all the retirement money was swindled trying to do politics.

3) Another man was robbed in his house, severely beaten.

I know all three personally and all have sworn never to set foot on Nigerian soil.

There are others but I cannot validate the stories.

But thankfully for every bad example are tens of good examples.

My banking relationship requires the bank manager to approve withdrawal over certain threshold. My account manager needs to make sure it makes sense. My actual physical home address is not known to both.

Security and healthcare are gravely important. I’m upgrading to two MaiGuards as an example.

Thanks!! other than security, which or what is the greatest concern, what are the other issues (real issues) that drive people back, like I know daily living can be a grind, but I am not coming to 9ja to work by His grace.

EgunMogaji2:
I’ll not sugarcoat this move, it’s the hardest thing I’ve done in my adult life. But also it’s been the most rewarding. It requires deep thinking and careful execution, but the reward is great. I’ve met many returnees who are doing extremely well but sadly have also met some who fled back because they underestimated the rigors of Nigeria.

In terms of security I just think that a duplex offers an additional layer of security. With a proper building design one can turn the staircase into a hardened box by having a door at the bottom and at the top. Also, to develop property in established neighborhoods instead of new site. But key for me is blending in. One returnee was waylaid as he waited for his gate to be opened.

Good luck to us all, nothing beats waking up in Ibadan every morning for me and eating ogi with akara

Good Evening Hajji,

If don't mind me asking, which state are you? I understand if you want to keep it private.

quote author=mufutau55 post=90534472]

You surely remembered o. Those good old days.

Hajji M.[/quote]

Thank you very much for this tread, I started my building about two years ago and should complete next year. We are planning moving back in about 5 years, but it's going to be gradual. My biggest concern is safety, you mentioned security, can you speak a little bit more about that? Please details, your dog's and don't s. I come home about 3 times a year so its not like I don't come, at the same time it's not the same. And for those of us who have lived outside Nigeria for a while, it's a different experience living there. I will be making the same move in about 5 years and to be honest it concerning. Thanks for doing this! I will definitely be following!!

hmmmmm to think I paid somebody 500k in ibeju lekki for the samething!!! and it was through my cousin, smh Nigerians!!!!

raymondFirstborn:
250k is on the highside.We did One for a client at Amity estate, which is just 8minutes drive from sangotedo and it cost less.

Please how much do you tile per square? my site is in Lagos though, ibeju lekki.

Hello, have gotten a satisfactory answer? I am interested because I am at the same stage as u. Pls. Keep us posted. As suggested try to negotiate to #300 per qm. If he does a good job, let us know. U never know, some might use him.


quote author=Ogchase33 post=90248579]Good evening fam, I have been a member of this family and I am a silent reader due to work. Please my little project is at tiling level and I have a quotation from the tiler. I will like a thorough vetting of the quotation for me please and also the type of tiles for each section of the house to bring out the best out of the project and at the same time pocket friendly.

You have really answered my questions, with paragraphs 2& 3!! That gives me a good place to begin. Thanks!!

So a little more on the house, it's a 4 bedroom duplex in the front with 2 -3 bedroom flat at the back for rental. The duplex is pretty much a glorified vacation house, we will not be there all the time, now with that, what type of files should we use since we will not be there all the time, but still want quality.

quote author=QSFemi post=90065165]

What's the length and breadth of the building if you assumed it to be rectangular in shape?
Knowing the dimensions of the building will help in verifying the quantities for the measured area.

Secondly, ask Tiles sellers to send you cost/m2 of different types of tiles in order to know the current market price of tiles.

On Labour, cost of laying tiles per square metres is usually between #250 to #500 per square metres depending on the skills of the tiler, experience and your negotiation skill.[/quote]

I am so excited! I got the attention of the great Hajji M!!! God bless you greatly, I have been following you for a while now. Your responses and encouragement is uncanny! Even how you settle disputes! I am a pastor, so I appreciate men like you for your wisdom, you make our job easier. Please continue to do what you do.

You are right sir, that is what I am planning to do, God willing and based on the availability of funds.Thanks again sir.

quote author=mufutau55 post=90061407]

You can also mix. I used Spanish for major areas like Livingroom,hallways, and staircases where people will use mostly.
I also use Spanish in kitchen floors and walls because of heat. All other areas I use Nigerian or China equivalent.
All the above is based on my pocket o, this is not for everyone.

Hajji M.[/quote]

I think you misunderstood me, I am not sure which ones yet. whether china, nigerian, spanish.

DFAMEGUY11S:
well buying from me or not is the problem sir what matter is for you to achieve the purpose of you asking the question.

Thanks, I will consider all types and sizes depending on the room, I have all of a sudden become a student of Saydfact!! I will also consider buying from you if you give me the right prices.

DFAMEGUY11S:
hello good evening sir , base on your quotation first i will like to the kind or of the tile you are budget for it like spain, china and Nigeria or do you want to

@ Saydfact, wow! your site is very educational!!! thanks can I ask, how much do you think I should pay somebody to do this work?

yes, thank you very much, it is on purpose.
