Why did they make mat mandatory for german floor? Some engrs dey overdo.

Mat helps to prevent cracks for foundations where the land is swampy. Because capillary action will exert pressure on the surface of the oversight concrete and the mat (reinforcements) help to prevent the floor from cracking...
However, considering the cost of reinforcements, BRC mesh would have helped minimise cost and achieve the same result.

I'm trying to understand what laptop you comfortably bought for 1 million naira only to come on nairaland to lament about spending 160K on generator usage monthly.

Sounds like you have the tendency to be wasteful when you can have same satisfaction from spending lesser on alternatives.

My system cost me 370K. I don't own a generator. I have a solar power pack I ordered from New Jersey at a cumulative cost of 175K. It's charged with electricity as well and can keep my gadgets and system powered for 80 hours before the next charge.

I also have a mini solar installation done at 160K that enables me use two fans and bulbs and when electricity comes on, I use my AC.

Everything listed here didn't even cost me up to the amount you wasted to buy a laptop. Sometimes you have to plan according to economic realities.

I agree with all you said except for his laptop choice. As a civil engineer, there are some animations that will take me 18hrs to run but a good laptop will take just 3hrs. My current laptop goes for over 1.6mil and I'm looking forward to get one at 3mil because of a software I intend to install and for effective 4k rendering in minutes. It all depends on the need.

Owerri is a village with just imo indigenes living there. Tell me what other people from other states will be doing in Owerri? Prostitution like most imo girls ? Mumu go and develop your state with decent industrial complexes to attract outsiders. Keep deceiving yourself

I've seen where your hatred is coming from. I'm done replying you. Continue hating and misinforming others.

SpaceTour:
Mumu who wants to invest in a village where only imo people live. You can’t find anyone from other states living in Owerri

I have 4 carpenters I use for my projects. 2 of them are yorubas and based in Owerri. 1 is from Adamawa and base in obinze barracks, same Owerri. 1 is based in Umuahia.
There are people from different states residing in Owerri. Travel and see and stop being ignorant.

SpaceTour:
Owerri is a village with low property values, that’s the point

A village you can never afford in your entire existence on earth

BabaIbo:

Don't mind them, they won't believe because of where they live.

Unlike their places(Lagos excluded) where you can buy a plot in the best area/place with that 30 to 50 mill they are chorusing all over the thread.

I don't usually comment like this on nairaland but this particular misinformation got to me.

In 2018, a plot in Udenwa Estate goes for between 50 to 75mil. This is where I did a duplex project in.
That's what someone is saying with 30 to 40mil you'll get land and building in such area😂.

SpaceTour:
Stop deceiving yourself nwokem. Why would I even want to waste 40m in Owerri, for what reason ? How many people from other states are living in Owerri and how many imo indigenes are living in Owerri.

You're ignorant bro.
Stop misinforming people about a place you only read online.
I'm currently doing a project in asaba and have bought properties for people here. I'm in a better position to educate you on the cost of lands both South East & South South states.

BabaIbo:

You be mu mu, the prices of lands vary depending on many factors.

It is very possible to get a land of such amount in Owerri.

Why do you think those plastic lady's machine now cost 750k upward?
It is not even majorly because of dollar nor petrol, but because na wetin many yahoo guys dey put eyes these days.

Now, connect it with that of Owerri which is an entertainment and flexing hub for many of these guys.
Many people outside the country wants to build hotels in Owerri etc, you don't expect it not to have effect on the prices of lands na.

I'm marvelled at those guys ignorance.
A 5mil plot of land in some places in Owerri like Avu, Okwu uratta...are even inside bush with just 3 or 4 buildings sparsely distributed let alone Inside Owerri town.
...or is it New Owerri that's the current entertainment hub?
Imagine saying you'll use 30mil to get a plot of land within Concord hotel....foolery.

SpaceTour:


Just ignore those ignorant clowns. Land and building in Owerri is not more than 30m or at most in the best area of the town 40m. Property values goes up in an area with huge economic developments, industrialization, influx of people from other places, etc, Owerri is just a sleepy town full of poorly paid civil servants, so it none of the value indicators

Bring that your 40 mil, go to New Owerri to buy a land with building inside and see if you won't be chased out like a criminal.

Talking what you know absolutely nothing about with confidence.

SpaceTour:
Stop spewing nonsense. Value of real estates goes up when there’s huge economic activities in a place and that drives up land due to demand. That house in that picture is like a regular house that’s not more than 50m, now you are saying 100m, so where is the one billion coming from ? You see it all comes down to what I stated before. With 50m anyone can get the best house in Owerri and have enough change, the only people buying real estate in Owerri are imo people, so how do you eco the value to go up!

You said "The only people buying real estate in Imo state are only Imo people"

Where do some of you fabricate these lies from?
I'm not from Imo state(though I base there) but I have property there including other states I'm not even from. Stop selling misinformation here, please.

successmatters:


How can Owerri lands be selling for 200 million while Ibadan lands are selling for 20,000 ?

Are you sure you're not lying?

I live in Owerri.
I'm into lands too.
I've my guys in the OCDA.
I'm into construction and travel to different states and know the worth of lands too.

Like I said, go to Udenwa Estate and ask for a plot there... Some people stay faraway and say what they don't know online.

Again, you're ignorant.
Do you even know how many plots makes up 6000sqm? Cos if you do, you'll do the multiplication yourself.
Again, that area is not for the middle class. It's for those in the higher social stratification. That area harbours commissioner quarters. Even the popular Concord hotel is not far from there.

successmatters:


Liar, provide the deeds for the value of the land. Some lands can be inheritance,do you know?

You know absolutely nothing. I should disclose deeds here because you're who?
Visit Owerri, go to Udenwa Estate and ask for a plot of land then come back here and tell us how much.

SpaceTour:


You Dey mind them propagandists when Owerri is generally a slum and unplanned. Land or property in Owerri cannot cost most than 20m for land and 30 for land and building. Property values increases when there are huge economic activities in a place or other people from other states are coming into a particular space, but none of those are happening in imo or Owerri in particular .

You are simply ignorant.
Online talk is cheap for where you've not been to and only base your assertions by what you read online.

SalamRushdie:
How can that house be worth 1 billion

Are you in Owerri?
Do you know that location?
A plot there should be 100mil and above...This is 6000sqm of land.

There's an estate(Udenwa Estate) not far from there that a plot goes for 150mil.

Some of you say what you don't know. A plot in that location is 100mil up.

A plot in Udenwa estate not far from that place is 150mil. And I've done construction job in that estate and outside for a band MD(now former) who lives there as well.

Hello fellow Nairalanders,

I find myself at a crucial crossroad in life and would greatly appreciate your valuable insights and diverse perspectives. I have worked diligently in a private organization for 15 years, managing to save up to N20 million. Additionally, I own a 3-bedroom apartment. and a few plots of land in three different states in Nigeria.

Current Situation:
Recently, I was disengaged from my job, and this has prompted me to contemplate a major life decision. I am 45 years old, and my wife is 42 years old. Together, we have three children, two of whom are in secondary school.

Contemplating Relocation:
Given the circumstances, I have been seriously considering the possibility of relocating to another country with my family via study route. Two countries have caught my attention: the UK and Canada. I believe that I still have around 15 years of active career working life by the Grace of God, and I am open to exploring new opportunities abroad for the betterment of my family's future.

Reasoning:
The motivation behind this move is to provide my children with a better education and quality of life while also embracing new experiences. However, I am fully aware that this is not without risks, as it would involve utilizing my lifetime savings and making a fresh start in a foreign land.

Seeking Your Advice:
I humbly seek your honest advice and opinions on this matter. Here are some key points to consider:

Family considerations: How will relocating impact my children's education and overall well-being?

Age and career transition: Is starting anew in a foreign country feasible, considering my age and accounting background as my profession?

Financial stability: Should I be concerned about using my savings for this move? What steps can I take to ensure financial security in a new country?

Visa and immigration: What are the challenges and best practices in obtaining permanent residency in the UK or Canada?

Job opportunities: How promising is the job market for accountants in these countries? Are there viable prospects for career growth?

Investment options: Alternatively, what investment opportunities in Nigeria can provide a stable income stream for my family?

Conclusion:
I am deeply grateful for any advice, personal experiences, or suggestions you can provide. Your valuable insights will play a significant role in shaping this crucial decision for my family's future.

Thank you all for taking the time to read and respond to my post. Your support means a lot to me and will help me make an informed choice.

Warm regards,

Let me share to you what I intend doing with such money, latest next year December after I get married.

1) To open a pharmacy shop for my wife.
For me, this is the only buisness that will always sell. I'm looking at 6 to 8mil for it, including the shop and drugs...Though if I can get it up to 10mil before that time it will be okay but for now, I'm working on the initial budget. However, if I see a good location that will thrive very much for the pharmacy business, I'm willing to sell a plot to raise additional funds for the business.
2) I've some lands in different states like you... I've 2 plots in an estate in umuahia where I intend to use for BLOCK INDUSTRY (meanwhile, I'm a civil engineer) once the estate starts development from next year.

3) If the pharmacy shop won't work, another option for me is to put the whole funds together and buy a truck(25mil to 30mil) which I'll register under a company that will be managing it.
Let me break this down... I'm currently doing a project in asaba and I made the enquiry. For such truck(new one), weekly payment is between 400 to 500k... Monthly is around 1.5mil to 2mil with a condition that they'll be doing minor repairs while you do major repairs...but you can negotiate with a company to be doing the major repairs so that you won't be cheated on. So you can look into this direction if you're in a city where a lot of construction jobs is going on.

Abroad doesn't thrill me. I've seen people spend so much(ranging from 23mil to 30mil) traveling with their family and I'm not ready to spend such amount of money because I'm traveling abroad(I've been there in 2015 on a 2 weeks vacation) so it doesn't move me one bit.

he might not be perfect but he had experience, he was a commissioner under Tinubu, he had been in politics for decade compare to this dummy chanting he will take away agbero with no alternative for them, won't they cause security threat as we've mob suicide missioners in Southeast?


we can't elect an inexperienced and yoruba hater as Lagos state governor. Yorubas should get sense, Igbo won't even allow you rent a shop in their land yet you want to impose their son on us ignorantly?

"Igbo won't even allow you rent a shop in their land"

Is that the kind of misinformation you guys share here?

martyns303:
Hi guys, please I am seeking advice from professional builders here, I understand the values are not definite, but a rough idea and range will really help. many thanks.

What are the features of the building? Like, number of bedrooms, laundry, gym room, ante room, main Lounge, etc.
What is the condition of the land considering that some places in Ph are waterlogged & require raft foundation which is more expensive than pad footing? These are factors to consider before anyone can give a rough estimate.

I'm doing double two storey building(6 units of 2 bedroom flat) in Ph(Rumodumaya & ogbogoro) & both are water logged areas that require a pad + beam raft foundation.

If you give me this information then I can come up with a price range from foundation to roofing.

ufotty2001:
I know the estate.. Golden estate!! It is now N3.5m not N3.2m.. the one at choba is good too. They have done their perimeter fencing and security gate it is N3.75.

You know them bro.
Which would you suggest among the 2 places? I'm having a hard time choosing one cos I don't base in Ph but have construction jobs I'm executing there.

ufotty2001:
am currently staying at Eliozu. Land at Eliozu should be exact that ur price but some places 20m-25m above. I got my own land at Army range, eneka

I planned getting one after that Army range through one real estate company like that. Selling for 3.2mil last year. Will enquire how much now though I'm considering at Choba (omoukiri) behind Uniport for 3.75mil

Zico5:
Land dispute is not a strange issue among Igbo. Many lives have lost due to this. No matter how magnificent the building is on a disputed land, it will be dismantled within a minute. Buying land in Igbo land is at Ur own peril especially if u are a stranger. That's why it's very hard to see a stranger buying and selling land there.

Stop misinforming the public. There's no where you don't have land dispute and that's not enough reason to discourage people from owning a land anywhere in the country. Make your findings before you purchase land anywhere.
