If we are to be sincere with ourselves, that stranger is actually smarter than his host. Instead of him to beg and ask for grace period, he has guilt trapped the OP up to the point of the OP begging him to eat. Hunger na your mate? If he too vex why he later eat the food.

The OP is being nice because nobody knows tomorrow, but I tell you, when the time is right for the stranger, he will leave and cut off the entire family.

I pity those keeping my contact for the single reason that nobody knows tomorrow because if I make am tomorrow I go change number

Is the wife I pity because I don't want to imagine my partner picking someone else over me. This can really reduce her self esteem.

I can not beg my own child to eat my food. Now I have to beg someone else?

I'm a good person and people have been good to me also but everything else in this world has limits. You visitor has outlived the grace of the host.

bro are we talking about a standard highway here or just some cul de sec or estate street because the loading and traffic the pavement will encounter is taken into design, then if it requires a bridge that will drive the cost further so yes 700m or even more than that. Whenever you drive pass the badagry express way and wonder what the Engineers are doing that long and haven't completed construction, road construction looks easy on th eye but the cut and fill involve alone , let's not talk about survey recognaissance and test. Don't get me started abeg or the Engineers will take 10m from you and call it a day right

sir they asked you for a kilometre of a road, I don't know where you saw bridges as part of the road.

Sorry man. You must be an angel just like myself.

Is it your own property bought with your money? then I would give him two weeks to leave. If it's a rented apartment then one week. If he doesn't leave then involve the police, they'll kick him out same day.

If someone acts proud to me in the past, I take them for what they portray. I have several old mates in the UK that I have kept at arm's length based on my past interaction with them. UK doesn't change character, it only packages bad habits.

see eh, some times evil people need to be shown wickedness so they can sit back, think and realise that they brought their present predicament upon themselves. It's absolutely important. Actions have consequences and people need to know that.

If you ask the guy now, he will feel he's being smart and everyone else is a fool

Advise needed please.
Now I am begining to understand why most Nigerians here don't want to accomodate newcomers who are Nigerians. I accommodated a guy who is becoming difficult for me to handle just because I don't like wahala. We lived in the same house in Nigeria and during those period we were never friends. We only exchanged greetings sometimes as he was very rude and proud. So when he got to know that I left Naija with my family, he became a 'friend', called me one day and asked for what he needed to do to come to the UK. I explained all I did without any reservations and advised him on what he needed to do. He applied to a University and a week to his resumption, he had not gotten his CAS. He was worried as he had sent so many emails and made calls to the Uni without a single reply, so I went to the Uni to ask for the reason for the delay as there was also no update on his application portal. The lady I spoke to was not going to converse with me but after some pressure, she spoke and from our conversation, it didn't appear he was going to get the CAS. I remembered a friend who is an Agent of the Uni and spoke to him, sent his details and the following day he got his CAS. No penny was collected. I guided him on how to apply for his visa which he got. Prior to him getting his visa, he was asked from the Home Office to forward additional documents like payslip etc and he was afraid of what to do. I connected him to a friend who had the same experience and that one guided him on additional docs he could send and eventually he got his visa. He spoke to me about accomodation and I told him he could put up with my family and when he is settled, he can start looking for one. While he was coming we asked him to help us bring food stuff which we were going to ask someone to buy and give to him and he told me point blank that he like doesn't travel with luggages. I was taken aback. So i needed to beg him and explained to him that he would not carry any load till he get to Newcastle his final destination and I promised to come and pick him at the airport. He agreed however he didn't come with any of the foodstuff except for my wife's laptop that someone took to meet him at the airport in Nigeria. His reason was that the payment system of the airline he used was not working and so there was no way to pay for additional luggage. My wife begged him to at least picked some dry fish but he insisted that he had his luggages to carry. So we cargoed our foodstuff. Because of that, my wife and her family insisted that I must not go and pick him at the airport which I agreed initially but later went to pick him. When I looked at the hours of layover he had at Doha and Heathrow and considering the fact that he would arrive Newcastle at 10:30pm, I went to pick him without my wife's consent though I explained to her sister when I took the kid to her house. Wify was on a night shift luckily that day. On my way to the airport, I called to let him know I was on my way when he had not even left Heathrow but when I got there my phone dropped and the screen shattered when I went to use the toilet. I can't receive any calls or make any. As a village boy I am, I stood at the international wing of the airport instad of the domestic wing. He arrived, was calling but I couldn't pick. Eventually we met after hours and the first thing he did was to attack me. 'I have been calling and waiting in the cold since, all those we came together have gone and I am the only one left. If I knew where I was going, I would have left since', he raged. I was going to retort but smiled and explained everything to him. Helped him with his luggages to where I parked and paid £25 for parking.

My wife wasn't happy with his stay and she showed it. It was like a pay-back moment for all the guy's behaviours to her in Naija but I would not have any of that. I ensured that they guy sit with us, eat with us, go to church with us, gave him numbers to call for jobs etc. When I felt my wife was taking things to far as she reported me to my mum that I hosted a stranger in this UK economy where things are expensive and my mum also started mounting pressure, I reported her to her sister too. I told her sister that I was not going to ask the guy to leave until he gets a job and I won't join my wife in not relating well to the guy. This became an issue between us which we later settled. I convinced her to forget the past as this should even be a lesson to us that we should always treat people well as you don't know where you will meet them again or when you will need their help. The guy started working and everybody was happy. One day wife raised a point that the guy was suppossed to buy even if it's ordinary bottle of milk and I quickly trashed that conversation. One day I wanted to get the rug cleaner in his room and I saw cans of drinks, cartons of McDonalds under his bed with groceries. He had gone to work / or class that day. To be candid, I felt somehow and spoke to my wife about what I found. At that point, I began to remeber all the guy's attitudes and they started getting to me. I remembered a day we wanted to go out without the kids and I asked if the kids could stay at home with him, he said no that he was going to have online lecture. Since then we always take them to a friend's place or wify sister's if we feel they shouldn't follow us even if he is at home. I remebered how he never for once asked if I had fixed my phone's screen or not, I remebered how he never asked if we have received the foodstuff he was to bring but we needed to cargo. I remebered how we, 4 of us are sleeping in one room, wife and the kids just for him to have his privacy. I remebered how our bills, water, electricity and gas had increased since he came and to God who made me, I never bothered about any of these for once. I felt someone is using me and I concluded to tell him to look for accommodation but I won't change my attitude to him. So I asked him about his search for accomodation and he said he was thinking about raising his school fees balance and that would take a while since he can only work for 20hrs in a week. I told him that he should look for the ones that are cheaper and since holidays are here, he can work full time to raise his balance. Besides, we are 4 sleeping in a room and it is not convenient for us. His body language confirmed he was not ready to leave so I started helping him to look for a shared apartment. I got one via a church member and he went there for inspection though he didn't want to go initially. His reason was that he was having an online lecture at the time they asked him to come which he must received at home. I spoke to the person and they said he could come at any time since they would be at home throughout the day. When I told the guy, he said he can't still go because of some group discussion he would have after the lecture bla bla bla. At that point, I told him that he needed to go because we are 4 in the room and it is not convenient for us. He went only for him to come back and tell me that he doesn't like this house. He said the house is close to his Uni but he just doesn't like it and that I shouldn't worry, he would leave by this weekend. 'No wahala', I said and since then he has been giving me attitude. He came back from work on Thursday morning, I opened the door, greeted him and he didn't answer. All along, he stays in his room and when food is ready, I would be the one to go and call him and he comes out immediately. But since Wednesday, when I go to call him for food, he won't come out until after 20 - 25 minutes. So this afternoon before I went to pick one of the kids from school, I called him to come and eat but he didn't answer. When I returned, I still met the food untouched. I wanted to call him again but I decided to face my project that is frustrating my life and then he came out to eat. He started saying a lot of things about him getting accommoation that I was not listening to. But the last thing he said made me to decide to put this here. I heard him said, 'I will leave when I get a good accommodation'. I just said okay, he ate his food and left for his room.

Please I need advise to handle this maturedly. Since he came none of his people called to say 'thank you' not even his girlfriend that we know. But I don't care at all as all I want is for him to leave as I don't want to continue to sacrifice the comfort of my family to someone who is unappreciative.

see eh, there's a thing line between benevolence and stupidity. You already crossed the line. I couldn't finish what you wrote without wanting to beat you

Zionmdde:
We are reaping the fruits of the trees we planted. It started with Angels now it has turned into beasts terrorising the whole region. We didn't learn how BH that once had the support of Muslim northerners later turned against them

And would FG tell us that they can't trace the communication between Simon expa and these boys. Las las ofe nsala day is turning into ofe ahuhu. Maybe when my people are tired they will gather themselves and fish out these terrorists. Even kanu will be in regret wherever he is

when we dey shout , they called us saboteur

I paid for aluminium roofing sheets for our use in this house, 0.45 gauge, black colour. We will start roofing anytime from today or tomorrow.

More pictures later.

how much did you pay for a sheet

Tinubuadvocate:
The same peter obi that warned his kinsmen to stop going Yoruba church's?

where and when?

AsomArchitectNG:
Smiles...

Like i stated earlier they ain't even mate in terms of cost implication as a duplex will cost way higher...

Now let's analyze..

1.) For a bungalow you only need 12mm rods for the wall pillars as it doesn't entails you doing a base

While,

For a duplex you'll need a 16mm rods which cost is almost times two of 12mm rods..

2.) A bungalow doesn't require internal wall pillars as all you'll be needing is just surrounding wall pillars

While

For a duplex you'll have to introduce internal wall pillars which is also done with 16mm

3.) You don't need a foundation base for a bungalow

While

For a duplex you must introduce a foundation base on every pillar points in the building

4.) You don't need to deck a bungalow

While

A duplex requires decking on which amount spent for just decking alone can take up a bungalow building from foundation to roof stage in most cases

5.) While doing lintel for a bungalow, it's not necessary you chain the internal walls

While

For a duplex it's necessary you do chain round beam on both the external and internal walls because of the decking(load coming ontop it)

6.) For a bungalow you're only doing plastering, tiling, screeding, painting etc... on just the ground floor

While

For a duplex you'll have to do plastering, tiling, screeding, painting etc... on both the ground and first floor...

So you can see that the cost implication for a duplex is way higher.. I can even go on and on analyzing...

I don't know where you live and how much land costs. All these added up will not be as high as the value of the land you will waste if you do a five bedroom with masters as bungalow.

When you factor in the fact that half plot of land is about 10-15ml, you will know what is what

CivilEngineer90:
standard price of 1km is 1m dollars, convert it to naira and add 20% inflation overhead. That's your budget range.

story. 700ml for a kilometer of road. Is the road the path to heaven

AsomArchitectNG:
you can still get a portable 5bedroom bungalow as the cost implication of erecting a duplex is way higher

when you factor in the area surface of the land which it will consume. Land which you can use to build something else, you will realize it's better to build up. The cost difference will be very marginal

paschenko:
Interesting, planning to have a 5 bedroom bungalow in Uyo next year from May. I will surely contact you.

oga no try five rooms bungalow unless you're very rich.

Better do duplex. Roofing will reset your head

How much is our annual budget and why do we have to borrow

Make una leave these frivolities oh. It's already obvious that Nigeria people don't care about these things.

Buhari is a case study. If you can,vote but prepare for japa

Arrest her using police

Depends on whether or not you're married.

As a married man, only after you have bought Christmas clothes for the kids.

Laple0541:
Don't be an ignorant, BBC has more listeners even in Nigeria than most local stations, going to BBC will surely garner him more coverage than going to a relatively unknown Asleep TV or what is it called? Yesterday when he went to Chatham House, didn't you guys listen to that he and his team have to offer? If I may ask, how many people know Arise TV outside of Nigeria? Even my humble self never know any station like that while in Naija.

Take it or leave it, Tinubu is strategically far ahead of his opponents and he's destined to be the next president of Nigeria.

it's inherent to us to make someone know our own local station. Tomorrow you will hear him talk about patronizing Nigeria first but I think that analogy works best if it suits your interest.

Someone made BBC what it is

seunmsg:
Rufai Oseni of LP and Abati of PDP can go and jump into the Lagoon for all I care. Tinubu will not grant AriseTv the interview they are so desperate to get just to improve their low ratings.

After the successful UK outing yesterday, the Tinubu campaign will move to US soon for another positive engagement. I can bet an interview with CNN is also in the pipeline.

God bless Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

you are not ashamed that someone who wants to be the president of Nigeria is speaking to foreign media houses and improving their ratings there by generating funds for them.

If he's not ok with a particular journalist or media house, let him choose his own and speak. If we don't take Nigeria serious, don't expect others to take us serious. That's just how it goes

The resilient spirit of the Nigeria people. When I see people who do fraud and other stuff, I don't have a pity because there are options but they went for the easy path

VoteObi2SaveNai:
Honestly, Soludo just used the contractor as a fall guy in his desperate attempts to rebuild his damaged reputation.

It's obvious that work is going on there so why terminate the contract and also publicize it in such manner

Soludo, you better work for Anambra state to save your ass and not this stunts

the contractor failed. Soludo didn't use him for anything
