I’d advice you invest in cordless power tools and get 2 to 3 spare batteries.

You’d be glad you did.

You can charge them up at home, clients’ site or anywhere you can get electricity.

By this you minimize downtimes.

how many times do I work at client site. To charge it at home, I will need NEPA again. But with the generator I have at workshop and daily diesel of 2000-3000, I can power all my tools and welding machine.

Is it possible for Nigerians to boycott their services by finding cheaper alternative means perhaps they will get sense,

boycott what?

Power is still in the exclusive list of the Federal government if I remember correctly. There's a number which a state government can generate and anything above that transferred to the national grid.

Having said that,if you think you want to go solar, it's very expensive. That's how someone advised me to go solar at my workshop. When he's done with his maths,it happened that I will need above 300,000 to power only the angle grinder. I laughed at him tire

I kuku know

It wasn’t funny when one of my client here ordered his furnitures abroad for multi-dwelling apartment only to pay almost half the cost to assemble here locally.
- 88 doors
- 12 kitchen

The worse part is that we had to build matching frames for it locally because they won’t ship the kind of frame we need in our local build.

Another reason why I’m taken aback on foreign furnitures is because of the experience of another member of this thread who bought 40 doors from a friend in Turkey.
For reasons best known to him, the doors weren’t installed in 2 years

You need to see how terrible the doors has become when he was set to install them. Rodents love packaged furnitures here.

A visit to most of the furniture shops here will reveal a lot to you.

about foreign doors, you just wish the keys don't fail when you're still inside the room

the main reason why IKEA or any company will fail in Nigeria is lack of business template or should I say policy or structure

This govt will come
Make this policy, after two years the same govt will change that policy�� or another govt will come and make new rules
For example, why should anyone be paying money to any family just to buy land or build house. After all you paid for the land. And the money is going to a family, not govt.
And govt has allowed this to go on for as long as possible.
Imagine IKEA making delivery to your street. But they have to settle touts by your street gate, another set of touts will be by your house while they are offloading
Secondly
We have no action plan
Govt should have a plan of things that will be don in the next ten years.
On this issue of naira falling
We have no olan to either rescue the naira or do anything
Lastly
Anybody can come with bills and tax you
Anybody
Local govt. State. Individual
For my sch building
I pay local govt for dirt and refuse. Something I take care of myself without their help. A sch that is non for profit in a northern village
Trust me, if you don't pay wahala

You can't even sue govt to court. You will lose
Everything is just set up to make people fail everything
It's like a well calculated effort to keep people at the poverty level

let me sum it up for you. Nigeria is meant to frustrate you

Nero2424:
It seems you don't think prices will drop if Naira is able to appreciate in few weeks or even month. I might have to buy wires too since I'll be needing them shortly.

trust me you're so wrong. The prices won't drop again. That's why I usually tell people that if you have the funds,buy everything that you can store. You will be saving a whole lot of money

Jeff68:
Personally, I hate IKEA furnitures, it’s cheap and substandard.

I have a friend who will fight you for saying this. In his opinion, IKEA is the standard upon which every furniture should be made

To be a presidential spokesperson, you have to twist a narrative eh

What about all the innocent lives?

Not America alone but the entire world shouldn’t stand by and watch for in the end, we’ll all bear the brunt.

even heaven helps those who help themselves. Peter had to call and stretch his hand to Jesus to be saved from drowning. Right now Afghans aren't doing anything. The few innocent ones have soft spot for the terrorists

Seriously look at how Buhari is making these people talk like they were saints.

From 1960 till date, every Nigeria leader has been a looter but this administration took it to a whole new level and it gave many effrontery to parade themselves as good.


May we never experience anything like this administration again in life and death
