OnetimeOnly: Thanks for your question. It was very necessary to cut down all the trees in order to assess the size of the plot bought and to provide access to the site. I will definately create some landscaping green space and plant some exquisite trees. The bungalow is located at the bottom of the slope so we had to level it for the foundation. At the top of the slope there is space to build a 3 storey building which would have a basement/underground bunker included due to the steep slope. |

I started by fencing the plot of land in order to secure its perimeters. I had to be physically present to commence this phase.

The land had 15 Palm trees and was like a jungle. I paid N75,000 to fell the tree's and clear the whole site (150 x 100) 1 Like

This is the sloping view of the plot. It slopes at a steep gradient which presented challenges while excavating the foundation.

I have decided to diarise my building experience involving the building of a 3 bedroom Bungalow + Penthouse at Calabar (close to Tinapa). Since i'm based in London I have decided to project manage the construction in phases by myself each time I visited Nigeria. I bought a 150 x 100 plot of land in June 2014 and visited in December 2014 to oversee the fencing of the plot. In August 2015 I visited for the excavation phase to the German floor phase before leaving. I also annexed a 50 x 50 plot next to mine during my visit (a good place to locate the 2 x 3 bedroom flat BQ, Borehole, Generator room at the back of the plot). Features: Ground Floor Ante-room, Lounge, Dinning room, Kitchen/ Store, 3 Bedroom (ensuite -including Visitors room), stairwell, visitors toilet. Penthouse: Masters bedroom ensuite with balcony, Second bedroom ensuite Most of the input came from Nairaland members here *Original plan (5 bedroom bungalow) designed by megaplanpro *First penthouse design-by Vicmoor *BoQ for Fencing cost + building advice- by Segzy14 *Structural design advice by Onakomaya 2 Likes 2 Shares

Nice thread. After being a Nairaland member for 9 years and a silent reader of the property section I have decided to embark on a building project with the support and advise of lots of members here. Building a house from abroad can be a very challenging project to accomplish. Hence, I will be opening a thread to diarise my building project at Tinapa - Calabar, a 3 Bedroom Bungalow with a 2 bedroom Penthouse later today. 1 Like |

As an investor in the NSE since 1996 I have followed Warren Buffetts advice that you shouldn't have more than 10 stock in your portfolio. I have just re-balanced my portfolio and I have 8 stock that I've invested in for long term purposes with the occasional CICO/JIJO when the opportunity arises. I am looking for recommendations from my bnsitl for which 2 stock I need to add. In my portfolio I have: FBNH (since 1996) Dangote Sugar GTB Zenith Access Flour Mills Oando UBACAP (my wild card for speculative purposes) Any suggestions on any 2 stock that I should add to balance my portfolio ? (n/b I'm expecting dividends from GSK and I've been eyeing Mansard and CCNN) 3 Likes |

Well done Sir Offor. For a business man who can not read or write (my ex-boss used to write his cheques for him) to show such generosity is highly commendable. I'm suspicious about this financial gesture though, there must be something in it for Chrome Oil. We need to follow the money. |

blaqq: If the Tea girl does not have a contract of employment, the employer can terminate the contract of service being provided by the Tea girl for being a party to an assault on a member of staff (thats a sackable offence). The Tea girl was not an employee and can not therefore sue the employer for breach of employment contract. Call her bluff and tell her that you will see her at court to defend the 'unjust dismissal' allegation ( and think about a counter-claim as a deterrent) Even if the Tea girl was an employee she should have been summarily dismissed for gross misconduct (after an investigation ) for her role in beating up the staff member . The staff that initially slapped the Tea girl should have been given a 'first and final warning' for his unprofessional behaviour. (In most organisations that is a summary dismissal offence). However, the Tea girl can sue the Employer as a result of vicarious liability, that is, the law that holds an employer responsbible for the actions of the staff that slapped her and claim compensatory damages from the employer. In a workplace siutation, an employer can be liable for the actions of its employees, provided it can be shown that it took place in the course of their employment. There is culture of gross indiscipline and bullying in your organisation which needs to be addressed by yourself. You also need to put in place robust policies e.g Grievance, Disciplinary and Dignity at Work policies in order to create a conducive atmosphere of employee relations in the office. Lastly, go and read books on HR and build up your HR competencies to enable you to excercise the credibility to perform your role as the HR Head. 5 Likes 1 Share |
