CJ, nwanne m, I live in Awka full time though we expanded our offices to PH and Bayelsa, the reason I stay in Awka 3weeks and 1 week in PH and Bayelsa every month but my family is in Awka 100% and nothing can make me move then out because that is the best place to raise a cool and beautiful family. You can even see junior Chino in one of the pictures.

Nice one bro. The recreational park is in Ngozika Estate.

I must say if Awka continues to expand and grow like this, in years to come.. it will be one of the most beautiful cities in Nigeria... Urban design and proper planning is really required.....

your neighbour sha...
what will that take from his land?
are both of u not going to be using the same fence?

You know some people get plenty wahala.. He's an indigene in the area... I just don't want their trouble..

johnson232:
Nice analysis sir...
Is Dpc also required for fencing sir? Or u just used that to get a particular level?

Were each Labour paid 2000 naira or the mansions fee is also included in the 2k?

And why are the pillars one sided sir?

yes
yea each labourer was paid 2000 naira i.e 6000 naira for the 3 labourers. Masons re paid separately based on the number of blocks dey lay @ the close of work. fore instance if 1 of the masons laid 300blocks @ the close of work, 300 * 30 naira per block = 9000 naira. His pay would be 9000 naira using counting method of payment.

about The pillars, I was having an issue with my neighbor about encroachment so I had to place the pillars inside my own plot to avoid trouble.

ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT ON DAY 3
The activities carried out in the 3rd day was mainly laying of blocks from foundation level to the floor level. We made use of 3 masons and 3 labourers to help them in placing, mixing aggregate and serving blocks. The masons placed the blocks in appropriate order while the servers/labourers mixed the aggregate and then served the masons and also provide them with blocks. we used about 488 blocks. we bought 10bags of cement to join the remaining 3 from the previous day. At the end of the day, 5 bags was left behind. The laying of blocks involves aligning blocks straight in line with the beacon numbers in partitions of 12feet each. The foundation ate about 2-3 coaches of block level. The placing of blocks was charged @ 30 naira per block because we used the "counting" system of payment.. The labourers were paid 2000 naira each.

Apps are meant to make life easier for us. In the quest of looking for job, you really need these apps to get things done as soon as possible.


1. Jobberman app
For readers in Nigeria, jobberman is one of the biggest jobs portal in Nigeria. They provide information on the latest job openings. They have a corporate mission to help people find their dream jobs and help employers find the right people they need to be successful. I think you should try them out.

2. CamScanner app
Have you ever experienced the need to submit your credentials alongside your CV asap to an online platform for recruitment but unfortunately, those credentials or documents are not scanned and the worst of it all.. you don’t have any means of scanning it either in a computer center neither do you have a computer scanner for that purpose. Well CamScanner app can come in handy here. You can download it easily by visiting the playstore. CamScanner is so beautiful that after scanning the document with your phone, you wont even believe the quality. CamScanner has the ability of exporting your scanned document to any file format you want, either pdf or jpg. Don’t worry your head,.. the app is user-friendly. Am sure you wont find it hard to use. I suggest you try it out.

3. Documents To Go
When you don’t have a PC or your PC is having issues, Documents To Go can be used to edit word document and to type documents. So don’t say that because you don’t have a PC and because of that, you can’t apply for that dream job. You can always make use of your android phone to type your CV and also to type your cover letters.

4. Doc to PDF Converter
Doc to PDF Converter App is an easy to use app that gives you the opportunity to convert document files to PDF format effortlessly. It has a brief user interface that makes it easy to use with only a few buttons and selections.
Now most times its preferred that you convert your CV to PDF format. This is due to the fact that we all use different formats of Word processing softwares and fore instance if you submit your CV and it is viewed using another version of word processing software, most of the character will lose the shape and page settings that you gave them. Most times you will see 2 pages CV jumping into 3 pages. Due to this, its always good to convert your word document to PDF format.

5. Gmail app
The Gmail app usually comes with most android phone so you need not worry about it. All you need to do is to make sure that your email address is logged in so as to be able to get notifications whenever an email is sent to your email address. It also makes it easy for you to submit your CVs easily.

6. LinkedIn
The LinkedIn app makes it easier to connect to people and things that matter in your professional world. Build and nurture your professional network, stay up to date with the latest business and industry news, and find your next dream job. The LinkedIn profile is more than your profe3ssional resume – it shows the world who you are and what you have accomplished in your career. You can include pretty much any information an employer may need including job history, skills and more attributes. You can hunt for jobs and prospective employers can contact you if they want you to work for them. So this is one of the most important apps you should have in your android phone. LinkedIn exposes you to great companies that are looking for all the features in possess in your profile.


These 6 apps are quite important and can go a long way to help you secure that dream job. So its highly required that you have them in your android phone.

ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT ON DAY 2
On the second day of this project, we had to progress into casting of the base. First we had to make available the required building materials such as water, cement, sand, and stones... we already have all these in the site. About 5 labourers and 1 mason were called on to perform the casting of the foundation. The aggregate used is 12head pans each of stones and sand to serve 1 bag of cement with water to mix them together. The mason was in charge of dressing the foundation while the labourers mixed and transported the mixture to the mason. The mason was paid 3,000 naira for daily pay service while the labourers were paid 500 naira for each bag of cement mixed. The casting of the foundation exhausted 15bags of cement. A labourer was also paid to clear the bushy part of the site.

This shows the land is on a slope.

yea... we had to put steps with regards to that.

ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT ON DAY 1
The activity carried out on the 1st day is Excavation and cutting of the earth using a dimension of 2ft by 2ft height by width. This was dug in the perimeters of the three remaining walls as my neighbour has already covered 1 part. The excavation is usually dug in partitions of 12 feet each. Each partition is charged @ #700 naira each. I had to call 2 labourers to make the work faster. In our own case, we had about 18partitions and we bargained with the labourers @ the rate of #500 naira, so the amount charged was #9,000 naira. The labourers started as early as 8a.m in the morning and finished by some minutes past 6pm.. we marked out 15ft for erecting of gate so we didn't dug that side.

Below are some pics taken on the first day.

Average cost Analysis for settling up a plantain farm.

Land -----------
Land clearing is between N3000-N5000 per plot depending on the location, how far/thick the farm is.

Land preparation for plantain entails all you need to do or put in place before planting like farm layout, pegging e.t.c @N300 per plot.

Sucker procurement: N100-N150 per sucker depends on your source and the type of sucker you are planting.

Planting per sucker is between N20-N40 this entails digging and planting of the suckers.
The harder the soil the more expensive it is.

Procurement of fertilizer: if you use bulldozer to clear the land its a must to use fertilizer because the machine would have remove the top soil. NPK is N5500 and urial N6000

Procurement of poultry waste: whether you clear by hand or machine you need to fortified your plantain with manure and the most available one is poultry waste. The price per 50kg bag here is N300. You can get it lesser or higher depending on your location.

Fertilizer/manure Application: this depend on the size of your farm.

So keep the question coming.

I just started following your thread... please what's the dept of the hole on which the sucker is to be erected on?

#moretocome

Constructing a fence is not rocket science if you are free you can decide to do supervision by yourself, all you need is a little knowledge on how to carry out the activities and how to get workers(masons) that are reliable.

I will post the estimation here in my next post.

whirlwind7:
I commend you for sharing your experience and expenses incurred for this project. I also would like to know how many coaches were constructed.

Now, why wouldn't you want to mention the said community? I see nothing wrong in doing so. Everyone knows that development fees are usually demanded almost everywhere, but 200k is rather too high. Please, I want to know what community. I am hoping to acquire plots within Awka, especially around Ebenebe.

Keep rising!

Thanks bro. Its 10coaches above dpc.
Ok. The Community am talking about is Okochi-Ime in Okpuno Awka.
I don't really know much about Ebenebe. More grease to your elbow... Happy new year in advance.

johnson232:
God will give u the resources to complete this project...

how many coach is the fence sir?
are blocks for pillar also included in the 1500 blocks?

Amen bro.
Its 10coaches of block.... and yes blocks for pillars are included... and sorry... there would be need for me to make adjustment to the block estimation above cos we had some blocks remaining in the site before we started laying the blocks... about 500 blocks... so block estimation should be about 2000blocks.

Which branch of skye bank in Nigeria were u able to submit yours? I only hope it's Lagos here!

In Awka Anambra State.

Maximum respect to spyder880, his threads here on property section of Nairaland really gingered me up to go into this fencing project. Am just here to share my experience and to give a breakdown of how I was able to carry out the project so that people out there who have such project will be well informed before starting up.

ANALYSIS OF A FENCING PROJECT CARRIED OUT IN ANAMBRA STATE.
Location of the plot: Awka, Anambra State
Plot Size: 60ft. by 100ft approximately 18m by 30m {The fencing will cover just 3walls as 1 of the walls which I share with a neighboring plot has already been erected so am focusing on the remaining 3. which is 201ft(96ft + 60ft + 45ft) if we exclude the 100ft that has already been covered and the 15ft mapped out for erecting of gate.
Time frame: 2 to 3weeks( 12 days of activities)

LIST OF ALL EXPENSES:
1. Labour =>. #148,000 naira
2. Development fee => #200,000 naira
3. Gate => #170,000 naira
4. 6"inches solid Blocks(#130 * 1500pieces) *though we had abt 500blocks previously in the site, so total should be 2000 blocks or less=> #195,000 naira
5. White sand(2 trips @13,000 each). => #26,000 naira
6. Cement (45 bags @ 1500 each) => #67,500 naira
7. Water (3tanks of 500liters @ 2500 each) => #7,500 naira
8. Transportation and Misc. Expenses => #25,500 naira
9. Gate column construction materials => #49,600 naira

Total Expenditure => #889,100 naira.

I will still give a breakdown of the day to day activities and the different stages of work carried out in the site.

*Note: Development fee is a fee imposed by the community where the site is situated, that before any development is carried out, land owners must pay the annoying sum of 200,000 naira to the community or else they will come around on daily basis to disturb the work which will lead to more expenses and damages... this particular fee delayed the project for 1 whole month as we tried to see if we can negotiate with the community,... all to no avail. They charge the highest development fee in the state. Its so annoying I hope the state government will do something about it... I just don't want to mention the community.. But I don't see why developers should be ripped off for no just course all in the name of development fee/levy. So it might not necessarily be the case in your own area but you just have to make inquiries first before starting the project because those youths are quite destructive when they re not being settled.
