Foundation along go chop 10 bags or cement, or all structures go chop nothing less than 15-20bags of cement

1bag is 10,250x20=205k

Granite, rods, sand

Blocks ba like 2,000pcsx600=1,200,000

Labor go chop like 500k or more

Zinc, wood,wiring, plumbing work, water digging is roughly 300k plus

Painting, furnishings etc

Wiring can be replaced with small solar station of N400k.

N1.8m-N2m should go a long way if it doesnt finish this.
Let me shock you. 3 million is not even enough to do that roofing

Let even assume the house has only 4 doors

For good aesthetic reasons, 4 HDF doors alone will cost at least 700k

Are you guys sure you are in Nigeria?

Ordinary soakaway, return and waste water digging and plastering the soakaway for this small house will consume more than 500k

Wetin I dey talk sef. The granite needed for this house will be 10 to 20 tonnes.

So, granite alone will take around 300k

You guys are not serious at all

greenermodels:
You just posted picture of a cow and told the price in Adamawa without proof? Sounds like APC propaganda. That cow is close to 2 million or more in southern Nigeria. That cow use to cost no more than 300-400k in southern Nigeria,a few years back.The increase in price of transportation is a big factor affecting the sudden rise in the cost of foods including cow meat (beef).
You are smart

I'm not here to argue with ppl who uses Google as their own source of record pls. Take a trip to ibadan go to the National Archive office and do ur research there pls thanks.
Late Kabiesyi Adeyemi knows that there was no time the British used salary to grade obas. Why dint Kabiesyi tell u ppl why he Alaafin salary drop when ibadan was recognized as a division which drop the salary of Alaafin to that a ordinary baale because the resident commissioner of oyo province removed ibadan from oyo Division. Pls take a trip to the archive office u will see all this documents there waiting for ppl like u to be educated rather than using Google to mislead urslf..
You are not a scholar, anyway. Imagine in this day and age, you are dismissive of a treasure trove that's Google

Have you ever done any academic work before in your life?

Talking about one so-called archive in Ibadan full of books written in Ile Ife.

You love to celebrate ignorance, right?

The British paid Alaafin more and that alone is indicative of Alaafin's position as the boss

Are you hard of hearing?

ADEGUNWA01:
You are wrong this was Alaafin publication no time did the British grade some first or second class in the 30s. Obas like
Ooni (Ife/ila Division) OYO PROVINCE
Alaafin (oyo Division) OYO PROVINCE
Osemawe (Ondo division) ONDO PROVINCE
Deji (Akure Division) ONDO PROVINCE
Olowo (Owo Division) ONDO PROVINCE
Owa ijesa(Ilesa Division) OYO PROVINCE
Orangun ila (ife/ila) OYO PROVINCE
Akarigbo (Ijebu Remo Division) IJEBU PROVINCE
Alake (Egba Division) ABEOKUTA PROVINCE
Ewi of Ado Ekiti (Ekiti Central) ONDO PROVINCE
all this obas are Sole Administrators of their respective divisions with makes dem superior to other obas.
What Alaafin publish is just a publication not a Gazette.
In ondo province the deji of akure was the highest paid oba more the Osemawe, olowo and Ewi of Ado.
Lol

Go on Google na

You published that in Ile Ife

The O.P is right. Here is a picture that says it all
The closer the more prestigious they are to King Charles.
A big lie

The British placed the Alaafin far ahead of the Ooni

In fact, to buttress this, go and search for what the British were paying these kings as salary. Alaafin was getting far more than Ooni

Alaafin was on 4200 pounds sterling

Ooni was on 1400 pounds sterling

All I know is

2. Emir of Kano
3 Suktan of Sokoto
4 Obi of Onisha
5 Oba of Beeni


All others are behind them on the list of Obas in Nigeria!

Only 3 of them are first class kings in your list

Oba of Benin

Ooni of Ife

Sultan of Sokoto

The rest are second class kings and only have influence within a small domain.
Alaafin is ahead of Ooni in ranking

Know your history

No doubt Oni should be number 1 and Alafin 2, Oba of Benin is right on 3rd.

Let them keep padding up fake history. Thats why they are confused on whether Oranmiyan was 4th Ooni or 6th Ooni or whether Ogun was 2nd or 4th Ooni grin grin

They are confusing mythical stories with real life stories. One even mentioned opa Oranmiyan. Others mention how Obatala or Oduduwa climbed stairs from the skies carrying 3 objects to establish Ile-Ife. These guys do not know their history. They drink to much palm wine and live in lala land.

If there was a royalty in Ife, the undisputed descendants of Oranmiyan, the warrior people of Oyo, would be the first to promote and acknowledge that.

All the residents of Ife in ancients times would hardly reach 500 people and the head of the spiritual structure was Ooni who was never a blood descendant of Oduduwa. The illusion of grandeur came much later. Politically and military, Ife was absolutely nothing and that's expected.
Ife was never into royalty

Their Obaship is a modern invention

An Awolowo thing
