Every Yoruba man is a lagisian

then how come fashola deported many of them? Lagos is no a mans land. all the government is after is tax and revenue. they don't care a bit about the tribalists shouting "our region". i gain more from Lagos than most yorubas.

this thread was started in 2009 and made front page today(6yrs). nairaland is actively promoting tribalism

my dear igbo brothers, stop responding to this thread, it was deliberately started and moved to the front-page to elucidate anti igbo comments. i live in the north and nothing would make me build a mansion here. even to build a shop/warehouse with a small bungalow (built with cheap zinc and glass Louvre) would wait till i have a large family and my business can't no longer be comfortable with rented shops and rooms that i use as stores. it's my decision and i owe no apologies or explanation to anyone. pls stop responding.

KolaShangOne:
Floor plan posted as requested..

thanks a million, very nice design too. I'm learning archicad, i will model the floor plan and post back the rendered work on this thread.

consult a welder, it's metal so quite strong

daviejay, i think ur engineer is misleading u, 6inches blocks still sell #80 while 9 is about 120, to be honest some places vary upwards and this is in neighboring Niger state. also masons charge about #25 per block. I'm not judging d man but investigate by ur self by going to a block industry and Mason joints. things are generally cheaper in d north.

oga mu, pls can we see the floor plan? thanks for sharing.

imoci:
Thank you very much for this explanation.
the cost of foundation filling is not small at all.
am sure if i want to do the DPC,i will spent more than 200k on filling alone.
if not i would have love to DO it.

u can reduce cost by digging ur soakaway pit now and using the sand from it to fill the most of d foundation, if you have a demolished building around, let the labourers pack the broken blocks in.barrows to fill d foundation. as we are now approaching d rainy season in d north, you can save a lot of money for water by fetching water from d open soakaway pit if it does not endanger anybody to leave it open.

imoci:
nice one.

just started mine early last month,just a simillar project as urs. i still have about 300 bocks left after the faoundation setting was completed.

but am a kind of confused either to fill the foundation and do a DPC .
but i want to no the implacation of not doing a DPC.
please i need candid advise on this .

DPC means damp proof course, which means it helps in preventing dampness to the flooring. it also holds the foundation(substructure) together and prevents the breakage the floor as the house ages or as a result of pounding food in the kitchen. if you can afford it pls do it but if you're short of cash, then forget it. my current home don't have it and I'm not missing it that much

@op, the lord will be your strength and he will provide all your needs for this project from his abundance, amen.

Adeyanju23:
I dnt knw why some people were so biased in their judgement, they just hate GMB. All of u dat are talking rubbish didn't read abt punch journalist dat was maltreated by guards in Jonathan's village.

snapping somebody property without his authorization is tentative to trespassing which is an offence, the truth is that the owner can shoot u and go free for it. here in the north, it's enough justification to stab u to death.

I'm also in queue for the building plan, i love the compact nature of the house while still containing luxuries like a kitchen store

oga spyder more power to ur elbows but if u post d building plan, i think it would simulate d discussion more. thanks

more power to your elbows, pls can we see the plan? even if its a sketch, I'm thinking of following ur pattern. thanks in advance

buhari would grant them amnesty and maybe set up.a ministry of northeast all funded with Niger Delta oil money.i don't blame him rather i would blame president Jonathan.

Gbawe:
Don't bother. If some want to spend the next four years as 'prisoners' of their obsessive desires to "pay back" the SW with political treachery then they can be my guest. They only succeed harming themselves when they do this. Imagine stalking someone who is getting on with his life and moving forward daily. Is it not you the stalker whose life will stagnate and suffer? You watch someone having a bath yet you have not washed for three days because you are too busy stalking and focusing on others while you have totally neglected yourslef !!! Let some use their political offices for settling scores if they want. I would rather hold my political leaders accountable and implore them to deliver for Nigeria.

As one example, Fashola stated that Lagos could be entirely and 100% self-sufficient in power production if the State is completely enabled and supported by the FG to deliver this. Now that the FG is controlled by the APC we will expect the 'support' Fashola is talking about to be forthcoming and no Senate President or Speaker can stop that. Lagos is my State and that kind of announcement is what gets me personally excited not backward and retrogressive talks, in this day and age of ideas and innovation, about the ethnic group of the speaker.

What did Dimeji Bankole do for the Yorubas or indeed Nigeria? An issue like adequate power supply, one of the main driving force behind the development of Nigeria, is what I will look out for and not whether a Yoruba becomes speaker or not. Adequate power supply=proliferation of SMEs= rapid development of Nigeria because the SME (small to medium enterprise) is the economic 'lifeblood' of virtually all developed nations of the world through its contribution of taxes, jobs et al. Those are the issues I personally focus on and will be tasking the APC to concentrate on. Leave haters to focus on revenge and vendetta that is always to their own detriment.

when d igbos stated that they don't need the Senate presidency because past igbo Senate presidents achieved nothing for them, u called them losers, now ur claiming that u don't need the speaker seat, i laugh in gbagi. buhari canceled Lagos state rail project and he might not give u d support u need in Lagos to generate electricity. God himself delivered Nigeria from d clutches of the north through yaradua's death and u yorubas returned us back to their grip.lets just pray for this country

neither dailymail nor any western media have reporters in north Korea therefore this news is mere propaganda. north Korea is far more disciplined, corrupt free and technologically advanced than Nigeria therefore we don't have d right to even condemn them

somcherry:
Wow!!. My alma mater took 2nd position

this ur status message about looking for a husband funny no be small, proudly representing ckc onitsha

the news report yesterday said that members of the adoration ministry claimed that fr mbaka accounts was frozen and he was invited by them but they could not confirm from him whether it's true or not only for them to claim today that he actually said it. i don't believe any of these news reports. the Nigerian press has been so politicized that only a fool would believe anything from them

pharmow:
If you can't mention one tribe in the whole of West Africa that has more doctors, lawyers, professors, engineers and other professionals than the Yorubas with figures, then I rest my case.

provide figures to prove that yorubas have all these more than any other tribe in west Africa. all Gods creatures have intellect,

the man that refused to debate so that Nigerians will not ask him what he forgot in aso rock. the same man that refused to produce ordinary certified true copy of his result and instead hired two sans to derail justice. the same man sponsored by Tinubu,atiku,among all the other numerous ex pdp looters. at his age, he should be on retirement playing elder statesman not threatening the country with violence if he loses. the man who ruled my father will not rule me. gej until we get a better choice.

TheGoodJoe:
My government will have a zero tolerance for corruption. I will set a personal example and run a government that truly serves the people rather than serve themselves and a privileged few. Like I have repeatedly maintained that if Nigeria does not kill corruption, corruption will kill Nigeria.....GMB

Sai Buhari

he should set a personal example by providing a certified true copy of his school certificate instead of hiring two sans to delay and twart justice while liar Mohammed threaten the nation with violence if he is justly removed

babadee1:
Buhari writes a last minute letter addressed to all Nigerians. GEJ writes a last minute letter addressed to only northerners. Lets you know the state of mind of both candidates just before the election.

the security challenges facing Nigeria right now is in the north and in the hands of apc leaders there. we all have read newspaper reports of matchets being distributed by key northern politicians. it's these key nothern politicians that gej addressed that letter to not the village farmers

he should tell apc leaders to stop buying and distributing matchets in the north

op please can you answer these questions for me.
1) what type of roofing material is that? i love the look
2) did you use six inches blocks throughout the building
3) please can u post the floor plan, that would be highly appreciated

oga Spyder880 nwanna biko, anam ejekwa gi na whatsapp maka ife a.

viewing this thread Spyder880, oga biko respond. op why not handover the project to oga Spyder880, he already have contacts that can deliver for him at the lowest cost

over 800 ppl including youth core members were brutally murdered by buhari supporters in 2011 election violence in the north and he don't want soldiers to be deployed this time around. this court decision should better be ignored on basis of national security

Gamesmart:
180,000,000 people.

144,000,000 living below the poverty line.

102 houses built to reduce the housing deficit.

Not 102,000 o.

It is 102.

After 5 years in power.

GEJ's and his idiot supporter's standards for good development.

so 180 million Nigerians are homeless? by the way how many did buhari build during his regime? buhari achieved practically nothing which explains why almost nothing is named after him

lonelydora:
I hope it's not those houses near Zuma Rock? They said evil spirits disturb that area.

i have heard that too. i heard the newly built hotel by the side was abandoned due to constant disturbances from evil spirits at night, so the owners salvaged the doors and windows and fled.the other side have an estate but I'm not too sure that if it's occupied. that place have thousands of acres of quality unoccupied land

Ikology:
State governors receive allocations like federal governments

anambra state government has been building mass housing schemes for more than eight years now. it's part of their job

this news article is full of lies claiming that GEJ stayed away from the north east whereas he spent two days at Borno and yobe in 2013 when during a town hall meeting with the traditional rulers over boko haram, they requested that he should withdraw all the soldiers posted to checkmate the insurgency. he asked them for assurance that if he withdraws the soldiers, killings must stop from boko haram, they refused to give the assurance. they also requested for amnesty and payments to boko haram which he agreed to but boko haram refused the offer. this was at a time when churches and igbo owned shops were the target of boko haram attacks and the local Muslims provided recruits and cover for them.
