Nsukka doesn't really care about Osu. You see Ohu, they're the big deal. This is just story

I hope this isn't some balance sheet padding to enable them evade tax. The MTN I know will want their workers to contribute their salaries

Oyibo people have a way of turning national tragedies like this volcano into site attraction. Look like how am wishing I could visit the site.


Meanwhile Nigeria government have a way of turning national treasures like crude oil into tragedies. Example is the oil spill in ogoni and the incessant cases of crude oil theft plus corruption.


I just hope God doesn't judge us with the same yardstick as oyibo cause it will be so unfair

somehow:
There are businesses closing shop everyday.
Michelin closed and left Nigeria

Alot of companies close shop anywhere in the world when business becomes unprofitable to them.

MTN is cheaper in other countries but expensive here, how come? have you taken out time to understand why?

Fuel is expensive in some oil producing countries than Nigeria (Saudi, libya, US e.tc), have you found out why?

I repeat again, why Dangote? we have more than 5 cement companies in Nigeria, why are the rest not producing to 'capacity"? why are these ones not dropping price if truly it's possible to produce at #1100 per bag?

Why are new companies coming up to produce at #1,100 per bag?

I don't do sentiment or emotion when it comes to business, any business ran under emotion will crash within months.

Victim mentality is not what I subscribe to.

If Dangote is the reason why cement is expense, let the other 5 companies bring down their prices or are you saying Dangote is the one controlling them too?

MTN is expensive here more than other countries is just evidence of failure on the part of policy makers and consumers protection services. And please petrol isn't cheaper here than in other oil producting countries. Before you do anything, compare the minimum wage of the country with the #30,000 the senators are working so hard to reduce and the governors are yet to start paying.


Having said that, the combined production capacity of the remaining four companies isn't on par with Dangote. He alone can decide what the price is. I won't drag this further with you.


Just remember that I am still making sure your home is protected while still beautiful

Monogamy:
This is exactly what I don't understand.

Why putting the lives of the same people you are claiming of fighting/protecting for in danger?

Why should Anambra residents have to go through all this because some unknown gunmen are angry... Sins of few, hardship on many...

And that heartless Kanu boy is enjoying the scene.. Anything to bring zoo down in his delusional thinking .. Same zoo their grannies couldn't bring down..

To those who have been hailing ESN, Ipob, Unknown gunmen, the zoo can't go down except your region.. Boko haram is over 10 years + yet none exist in Southern part of Nigeria..

Na where dem invite trouble, trouble dey stay ooo.. Whoever that might be behind the unnecessary security officers killings ( ESN, Ipob, UGM) should not only stop but think about the consequences of their few actions.

I trekked from obosi to down flyover last week at Onitsha. The traffic was so bad I had to get down from the bus and walk

A client turned friend got these two pairs of safety boots and wanted to see if anyone wants the second pair. Kindly indicate if you do. The first is for me so the second is up for grabs.

somehow:
If Dangote refuses to produce at full capacity, is he also stopping the others from doing the same or stopping new guys from coming in to do the same?

He's a private business man and can decide to even close shop today.

It's an open market, I just don't get why people want to decide what someone should do with his money or company.

WOW


If only the EU thought like that, they won't open anti competitive litigation against Apple and Alphabet. Being a market leader comes with responsibility that ensures you don't abuse your position and milk the economy.


Some people said that the problem of Nigeria is not really the leadership but also the followers. We don't know when we have been beaten down and imagine when a person with your mindset gets power, it will be "animal kingdom" situation where dog will eat dog

spyder880:
Another angle..........

I'm with my phone waiting for me to be called and be made part of this project. Seriously I can't wait

See mansion biko

Slowly this is taking great shape. The house is truly a beauty to look at

somehow:
He can't decide to crash price, market forces will do that. he's not plucking the cement from a tree, we have more than 5 different cements out there, let them patronize others.

How can they compare price of the same product in 2 different countries as if cost of production and other aspects of production is constant on both end.

Secondly, how much does the cement cost from his factory compared to what resellers sell it?

if Dangote produces today and full capacity, prices will crash. This price increase is demand induced. The people wanting cement are higher than production capacity

somehow:
Is Dangote cement the only one in Nigeria?

The comparison on that thread makes no sense to me and I can't afford to waste time trying to correct the numerous errors on that thread.

Dangote is the major player. He alone can decide to crash the price of cement tomorrow. He can also decide to increase the price by reducing the production capacity

Amastermovic:
Lafarge is the king of Ready Mix concrete And choice of most project on the island (lagos) particularly works goes smooth and faster due to most tower project in lagos cheap when u factor time value of money and quality of concrete produce under site control..

There wahala is they may treaten to discharge ur concrete for challenges on ur site due to accessibility or unforseen circumstances

Wow

cchub:
The OP shouldn't use a lie to cover up another lie.

Well it's easier to advise people to do what's right but harder to do them ourselves

Bro my advice to you now is because you owned your shit and that means you're on the road to responsibility.


Go to lab and get tested. The mind has a way of projecting illnesses that are non-existent into the body. If you confirm that you're a carrier, let your wife know. Your means of exposure can remain a secret. Tell her you helped an accident victim or anything

bro I saw it and rushed here to shout.

Dangote is deliberately wicked

topsy23:
Oga mi you are right people don't really use BUA cement like Dangote and Lafarge in Lagos

Bua is the cement of choice at this part of Nigeria. Dangote is second choice. I haven't seen lafarge like that

Another cash out for baba.


Seriously I don't see the viability of this business but we move

A snitch talked. Our security services isn't that efficient

gbadexy:
You are very correct. Despite the huge increment in prices, one has to reduce the profit so that the overall cost doesn't scare away clients.
We actually earn much lower now with increasing prices.

Exactly. The cost of iron door now is climbing to #30,000. It was more lucrative when it was #18,000.

BrabusNG:
Plan. Plan. Plan.

We got into this state because too many of us are reactive instead of being responsive when issues arise.

Barring any unplanned delay or unforeseen circumstances beyond my control, I’d still be able to finish my ongoing build within budget and agreed timeframe despite over 30% increase in the price of building materials.

Nigeria didn’t become a failed state last week or last night. We’ve been in these sh*t for years. Even the legendary high life maestro, Victor Olaiya sang in the 60s “Ilu le o, ko s’owo lode.”

I plan my life with the mindset that we are in a failed state to avoid nasty surprises.

May God save Nigeria!

XL6 Trillion | Atrium House: Project resumes today.

Good morning and wishing you a Happy New Week!

Bro make I ask, let's say that the average cost of building a duplex is 35ml, how many Nigerians can cough up 20ml upfront for the carcass so you the engineer can buy up materials immediately and store. It's not like we don't know the situation with Nigeria, it's the same situation that is ruining plans for builders.

I gave someone a quotation yesterday and he was asking me to make it cheaper and I was begging him that I can't. The fact is that in a week or less, I will review the quotation upwards and there's nothing I can do about it.

So imagine how the potential client will react if I tell him that the price has changed also. And it's not like I put in huge difference from current price cause I don't want to scare him off. It's just too frustrating doing business in this country like this right now.

I have come to realize why someone who earns six digits monthly will want to leave Nigeria to become a driver in Canada. Not everyone can deal with this type of headache.


Sorry sir for the long story

Chekitaut:
Good morning from here obodo Nigeria. Chai cement ₦4,500. No good reason for scarcity. We are our problem in Nigeria. Man made scarcity, reduce production, demand & supply determine market price.

wait cement 4,500?


Hehehehehehehe. If this isn't end times, I don't know what is

BrabusNG:
Iron doors right?

With wooden doors, I won’t even fix my doors until after painting. The subframes alone will suffice. No stains, no worries.

the frames are what's important in every door. Once you ha g frame, you already hanged the door

henrymor:
Hi Fam,

Please, I need some information.

1. Is it tiling before doors or doors before tiling

2. I don't like flooring the whole compound. I love greenery. Can I floor the driveway alone and use artificial grass for the other places?

3. Which is better artificial or natural grass?

Thank you!

bro it's doors before tiling. The tiler will use the level of the door for his work thereby ensuring there's no unnecessary gap below.

Another thing is that you don't have to deal with breaking the tiles to fit the door. This is my limited experience with working with doors and tilers. Some probably have an improved idea

Watch how the eyes of the world will be on her at this young age. And if she can't handle it,drugs will join. Look at all child stars, you will understand my point. I wish her all the best

Lets hope for the best sha

kopell:
This is complete BS many of these materials are manufactured in Nigeria. Are you telling us the dealers selling lost, like the other poster asked about the iron price that's increasing every two days. I believe its just wicked dealers pushing the market to the edge.

this is complete market analysis. They're not selling at a loss because they buy in bulk and as such get discounts with other trade secrets. That's why you need to do "boy boy" in business or else the present players will ruin your business and capital.

The fact is that the raw materials full Nigeria but like he said, China is flooding the market with cheaper raw materials so it doesn't make sense to mine the products. This increase in prices of materials is here to stay. There maybe slight difference during the core rainy season but it will not be worth the wait. If you have any project and have the funds, push it with all your might cause inflation will end up eating all your funds

peteregwu:
Yes! It's dangerous. And how about buhari releasing terrorists in the name of "repentance"? Buhari is the cause of these problems. He has made criminals to be above the law.

so the criminals released by Buhari and the unknown gunmen, who will suffer from their crimes. Do you think Buhari is affected by any of these.

For christ sake, doctors were on strike and he flew abroad with our common wealth. Do you think insecurity will affect him when he has a whole military contingent guarding him. Why can't you folks be reasonable and realize you don't run naked into the market because a mad man stole your towel

kekakuz:
I can pay from any account. Hacked account or wallet or any fraudulent account and use jumia to clean it.
The account is the list of the problem.in fact I can pay jumia from an agent location.

money laundering isn't as easy as you make it. It's better to build a church with 25ml and clean 1bn in the process than buy phone from jumia

kekakuz:
This is no scam. This is money laundry. Someone will buy 100units of it.thats like 50million. Then leave 5M for Julia and collect the phone and 45M of clean money.

Open your mind people. Things are happening under our very eyes

Money laundry doesn't work like that. For you to do it, you need to pay that #50ml into bank and that ruins the whole thing or you think jumia will collect 50ml cash

Guys this is someone's business. Kindly wish him well and move on but please don't joke about it

$80ml for this chunk of metal. E choke

80,000. Let me know what you think

Here's some facts,
..
your village people are after you and hates your progress.

Your mom is old and will eventually die. So what happens when she dies and you don't have a job

If you resign your job and she becomes sick and you can't take care of her and she dies. The uncle will still blame you
