all these internet masculinity which stems from toxic parenting. What's wrong with appreciating a woman. So if a man decides to worship a woman, what's wrong with that.

People who respect a woman had good mothers and that robbed off on them. But you see all these misogynists,it stems from their terrible experience with their mothers so they grew up hating women and attack people who appreciate women

The first sample is slightly close, but not with the gold stuff at all. Do you have a close-up picture of this?

no sir. Kindly note that it's from Pinterest but I know I can replicate it exactly as it is. The painting job is based on your choice of colors

babadots:
I thought as much. Thank you, anyhow.

But do you per chance know the guys who installed the rails?.............like meeting them on site or having their contacts?

that picture is from the internet. Look at the head of the tiler

Blow up a refinery,mess up your environment and damage your waters. Drink and inhale toxic substances that will kill you and your generation yet unborn.

Meanwhile another pipeline is sending oil abroad and the proceeds used to rebuild North East Nigeria and other places.

But of course you're hurting Buhari who's enjoying executive privileges. I don't want to say you're stupid but you and sense are in different timelines

Good evening everyone. I know people here are scared of doing business with strangers but I just concluded a business this afternoon.

Saw an advert about a bed frame and standing fan and everything in me told me the guy is genuine. Chatted him up and within ten minutes I paid. He chartered a truck and took it to park. He was very understanding and calm person.

Even though I haven't received the goods yet, I know he's genuine. Why am I telling you guys this, as much as scammers abound here, good people big pass. I know I am a good person, the person that sold the items to me is a good person and you reading this is probably a good person too. Let's not allow these criminals rubbish this platform for all of us. Let's do everything to ensure here is a place people can do business without fear

A saraki government is an unwelcome development. What are his antecedent in former political, business and various public standings

Jisie ike nna anyị.

If you ever need a tank stand and gate for this project, kindly call me to submit a quotation

To think that a North Korea government official watched the series before forming the decision that it's bad for the rest of the public is the height of hypocrisy

spyder880:
And Michlins has delivered this gate at our site here. We will proceed to mount the gate as soon as possible.

once again, I appreciate the opportunity you gave me here

Wiifesnatcher:
make some banks make mistake pay 7million in my account, I go refund you back o but I go don use 6m there buy something that will be fetching me money then we go sit down and agree when I'll be refunding it back monthly



when God want to set you free from collateral and exorbitant interest rates

prison is your best bet

Prices won’t adjust overnight even if dollars is a little lower against the Naira now. It takes between 4-6 months for goods to arrive from warehouse in China to Warehouse in Nigeria.
From experience, I will explain how Nigeria market reacts to exchange rate.

Let’s say an importer imports an AC at the cost of #450k each in January when dollar was $1-$450.
Then in July dollar went up up to #550. What big wholesalers do is they buy up all the stock from the importers. ( in fact, importers do not actually keep those stocks, they distribute them to wholesalers)
Now the importer has sold or distributed all his AC stock at #450k. But he needs to come up with #550k to order for new stock that would arrive in 4-6months. Therefore the new stock that would arrive in November would be sold or distributed at #550k.
The wholesalers know this. Remember those stock they got for #450k ? They would never sell them for less than #550k due to obvious reason. The reason is because when they return to the importers in November, they would be a new price.
Comes November, dollar changes to #530. Consumers would assume an importer would adjust his price to sell an item that was imported at #550k for #530 at a #20 loss!
No, expect to buy it for #580k even though dollar is a little less at the moment.

You see that wholesalers that got it for #450k? He too is sold out at maybe #500k, and made #50k profit which he used to take care of himself and family and rent. They importer gave him a grace of 3months to pay up for goods collected. So he is fine with doing some turnovers with money.
Now he needs to restock. He goes to the importer, this time with cash, which is #450k being all he has left from the initial business . To his surprise, the same AC is now #580k.
Where would he get the difference?

Meanwhile, consumers are waiting for him with hope of reduced dollar which would translate to reduced price. He dare not say otherwise, if not he is greedy.

succinctly put. You can't explain it better at all

somehow:
Except this is what is going on everywhere in the world.

yes it is. While Nigeria own hurts differently is because we have a very low purchasing power. While cost of goods and services are increasing, the minimum wage has remained the same and unemployment rates is still very high.

While all are contributing factors, don't rule out Nigerians are greedy

somehow:
It's the wood design type.
Yes, total of 6 plates.

The wooden front is more expensive than this.

Dollar is coming down, yet prices of items still going up.

Before they blamed dollar rate, what should be blamed now?

demurrage and delays at the wharf is a problem. The time it takes to clear goods now is longer due to congestion.

Everything we see now is after effects of lockdown imposed during the height of COVID-19.

Please know that I don't hold brief for anyone oh

babadots:
Thank you for your candour. What do we have that is closest to this? Photos and pricing would help.

this is the closest. This is the closest to what I can get which I know I can replicate. Costs 45,000/meter

n3xt:
What’s the guarantee this is caused by paucity of fund?

What if the owner paid more and the installer is not experienced enough to handle such work?

I had a similar experience on a site. The installer bought good materials but failed to use gusset plate where necessary. We had to decommission and reinstall.

first, gussets can NEVER make a tank stand fail. As important as they are, they can NEVER make a tank stand fail.

When building a tank stand, first consider the foundation. A tank stand is as good as the foundation. In the case of subject under discussion, the foundation was too wide. So the weight of the tank wasn't resting on the channels leading to the foundation. For a tank that high, standalone foundation won't work but chained foundation like in the picture below

Weight of the load. This tank stand was constructed for two 750 gallons of water at maximum but the owner went and used a 1000 gallons and 500 gallons. The weight was disproportionate which led to the failure.

Another thing is quality of materials. The quality of iron is dropping daily and getting more expensive too. So most times when finance is highly constrained, contractors go for the cheapest alternative. 1½" angle iron is currently looking like 1¼" and it's lighter too.


Even when all these are adhered to, experience and professionalism is important.

May we never risk our project because of paucity of funds

babadots:
@michlins

Can you generate an identical replica of this stair rail in Picture 3, and how much would that cost per meter, if you could?

Many thanks

no sir but what I can assure you is that that thing is no less than 70,000/meter. That's not your usual wrought iron and it's still making its way into Nigeria.

Thank you and stay safe

debeey87:
Pls share your WhatsApp number bro.

good evening sir.

Here's my number and business card too

Chriswazo:
The same question am asking, even cement just now decided to go up her own.

There's a saying price never gets down in Nigeria if it goes up

diesel currently sells for 370 a liter. Most of the companies run on generator and so does the trucks.

sonnie10:
Cool.
Team #125 gang. You would still collect your #5 change.

paid 16,000 2009

spyder880:
We planned for N33m carcass, but with these delays and the rising cost, I think it will be higher. Whole project budget wont be less than N70m in today's money. Can get higher if we dont halt this inflation.

Another thing is that we have changed the configuration of the plans to match government demands. We now have 3 flats on the ground and 3 on the first floor.

this house is now looking more like an exclusive hotel

spyder880:

It's a tough situation, although I am not holding brief for importers but it takes time for the goods paid for with the high dollar rate to arrive Nigeria, get cleared and be consumed in the market before the goods they will buy at these lower dollar rates will arrive much layer, maybe even next year.

clearing goods now takes longer time than it usually does. Most importers are low on stock not because they don't have the funds but because clearing backlog. So the very few who still have goods sell at premium and if eventually the goods get cleared, the importer will mock up price to take care of the expenses at the wharf

donforeign:
I will snap and show you tomorrow

measure the available space and if it's about 7ft by 7ft, you are safe

sonnie10:
Michlins please bookmark this handrail. I will come handy as sample

done sir

This guy should take new photos so we can see how aged he is

donforeign:
But the yeye welder say e no go enter

hehehehe

E no go enter as in you don't have enough space for the base or what exactly is his reason

donforeign:
bungalow sir ....

do dual 1000 gallons at the top. Should cost you about 300-400k depending on your choice of materials and location

SlyDev:
North East with boko haram ISWAP and Fulani bandit overshadowed Alaigbo states

Your shame dey shame me

Libya with isil, civil war and stuff overshadowed Nigeria in crude oil production.


Guess you didn't read that part because you like the news cause it puts Buhari in bad light

SlyDev:
Despite the crisis in some of the North East states, the region collected a total of N27.7bn compared to N21bn collected by the south-eastern region of the country.

it's about leaders who mean business.

Even with the crisis in Libya, they managed to surpase Nigeria in crude oil production.

Like Buhari like SE governors

donforeign:
3 flat ( 3 bedroom front, middle self contain flat and the last is 2bedroom flat. The roof itself is 18ft..

what I mean is that is it a bungalow or duplex.

Be that as it may, you will be needing about three tanks of 500 gallons. Two top and one at the middle

somehow:
You contact again. (Preferably WhatsApp line)

Asked before sir.

I already replied you. My phone number is 07032fourfour6904 and my business card is below
