Picture of the generator sir

So because he supported and campaigned for this government, he lost his rights to speak truth to power?


Until we realize that you can support a government and still condemn the government when they do bad, then we won't get our democracy right

BrabusNG:
This is lovely. Good job.

glad you like it. We beautifully secure your home

Jeff68:

As usual, my doors cost 18,000 without key. The choice of key depends on the customer

shogbenga:
Good evening all the Gurus on this platform.

Pls I need your advice

I intend to change all the internal doors and toilet doors in my personal house. The old china doors that I installed about 8 years ago are peeling off

Kindly advise on type of doors I can replace them with. The most important is DURABILITY. Thanks and God bless.

this is why I usually tell people to use iron doors but they will tell you it's not good for internal doors. Eight years down the line, the only thing you will do on iron doors is to repaint it and you have yourself a brand new door.

Buildings are meant to last and not act as liability. Here's a sample of door that I delivered to oga Spyder yesterday. It was paid for by another Nairalander

Nnewi is dark today

Gate Privacy Screen: Ideas needed!

Hi All

I'm currently working on an open gate design (pic 1 below) and I need some design ideas. I have an idea of what I (actually my client...) want - an open gate - but the environment requires some form of privacy.
So we agreed to screen off the open part of the gate with either translucent material, steel, decorative screen, plastic or anything nice...

What would you use if you’re the owner of this gate design and why?

Abeg, epp chook mouth

Thanks in advance for your help!

Pic 3 - Translucent Plastic

Pic 4 - Iron Mesh

We are also considering other options like openable back cover for the gate, flame resistant net etc.

buy a sheet of this pan and install. Beautiful and strong too just expensive something.

Check the two gates and you will understand what I'm talking about

FFK seems to love Billions........ I thought he claimed ' I am a rich man'......…....

he wants to get richer now. What's wrong with that

Lexusgs430:
FFK did not marry a wife........ He simply wanted a handbag.........

Let me not talk too much, considering the fact that FFK's fuse is very short..............

5bn suit is coming for you. Wait and see

This job is done and dusted. Finishings are the next steps. Filing, filling out the edges and sand scraping after which it will be painted

gummi21:

how do you intend to keep the water flowing when there's no light. Overhead tank is your surest bet and you can't avoid it

valencia2012:
You requested that I send you a message on WhatsApp so we can talk. Isn't it?
This is why I suggested 1000 hours tomorrow for a chat in my first response even with a question mark. I don't just say "hello" on WhatsApp without an appointment. I would be a joke to ask you to proceed directly to my site " leaving everything you planned to do"
We seem to have started on an uncomfortable note.

I'm yet to hear from you bro. Good evening sir

Wow. Things we do for the dead

waley007:
How can I get this type of fence done, I love it, like how much will it cost me including the gate and tiles

I don't know much about the fence but that rail will cost upwards of 50,000 for 10ft length and 4ft height using wrought iron bars as in the picture. I don't have full picture of the gate, I would love to help you out with the pricing

spyder880:
My brother, I had to fight the welder before he returned part of the money, I found someone else to do this one again.

some people dey find trouble. Why accept to do the wood overlay when you're a welder.

spyder880:
Our wooden overlay on the wrought iron handrails of this house,

oh Lord my God. Now this is premium something.

Did the welder complete the overlay or you did it yourself

MrOkenwa:
I was introduced to a welder that did my metal doors for me and, based on what I found out, your prices are very realistic, even without doing inferior job.
I paid the person 35k for 4by7 and 30k for 3by7( Each door has double plates and well coated before painting).
This person has a trader that sells his 4by7 doors for 50k in Abeokuta(I sent somebody to go there).
As per what the welder told me, The plates are sold for 3,500 each and the key is 5k. He actually asked me if I had any specifications on keys and I said no, just something good.
People around are satisfied with his job and he has since gotten the rest of welder works on my site.
1)Burglaries: I took Hajji M designs , in one of his old kobo kobo projects. I paid 178k for 25 of them, various sizes.
2) Entrance/exit door burglary proof. I paid 40k for the one I'll be attaching here.
3)Entrance gate. I paid 250k for the gate. Separate small gate for pedestrian.
I'm still looking at the option to either do a concrete or steel scaffolding for my water tank. If I settle for the steel, of course he'll be the one to get it.
In conclusion, let people know what they will get for the said amount you're charging them. You have your way around words, always use it to your advantage and avoid being controversial. I contracted you and your detailed explanations and zeal to get the job almost convinced me, safe for your location and the fact that I'm not physically on ground, I have given my jobs to you. Good luck.

thanks for your words and encouragements, it meant a whole lot. I will like to do the standing tank job for you sha. Location isn't a problem.

Thanks

Oga Michael, are you saying, you only learnt 'tonight' that labor is paid by day and not by productivity?

Labour for what exactly are you referring to here please,....painting metal doors or gates?? Can it be a typo error?

Semantics matters in my world!

over here, you pay according to what you make. Everything has it's own price. If you like sleep on top of one job. You will be replaced before noon. Good morning sir

These type of color combination no dey pass two hours e come be black. Each of these gates cost at least 3k each. Then you will start buying other stuff for finishing.


Tell your local welder the color combination that happened here.

Over here, we innovate and it has crashed the cost of production. Another thing I learnt tonight is that labor is paid by day and not by productivity. Imagine paying person 3k per day and he will do ordinary two doors a day. ..

n3xt:
What I didn’t show was that they applied body filler like they wanted to paint a car on the gate before painting.

This wasn’t the 1 colour in 1 hour type.

That gate has been painted over 8 years ago and it still remain.

buy one tin of sharon paint and the color will never fade. If you want to do big man, add a small tin of vanish and it will be sparkling. Make I hear Dem no finish the painting in one hour. Apply first coat and wait for it to dry and then the final coating.

n3xt:
I’m sure I can pay painter like 2k to paint this type of gate on that side.

I can never search for or find anyone who’d do that amount here.

Dropping mic for tonight.... Badger14, I don’t quote you o

But I’m enjoying you anyway. Thanks for sharing.

We are learning each day. Today, I’ve learnt not to crucify our people here. Their eyes dey see!

1k and the painter will be happy. Less than one hour work. Shey na one color wey be black that doesn't take time to coat

This guy and his boys will do awesome job for me. Make una come and buy oh before hungry kill me

Good morning everyone. Please I want you all to know that I'm very greatful for making my birthday an awesome experience yesterday.

In that vein,a Nairalander just paid for a single door. Anyone that needs it should kindly indicate his location so I can send it to him for him to check out my work

This isn't Nigeria. Some African countries are still miles behind

jabolo:
I see, a few pages back, Gbadexy offered you a collabo. I would jump on it if I were you, if only to learn how to better communicate with potential clients.

You may be in the right but this tone will put me off as a potential client, in what is a simple case of miscommunication.

Good luck.

I'm sorry if I sounded harsh. If you have anything you want to discuss with me, kindly contact me and we will definitely arrive at something

That child accepted you as a father so take her as a daughter. Blood doesn't always make us family. The mistake of you and your wife shouldn't be passed down to an innocent child.


That is all I know. People who know better will come

na there every scatter. I no come understand the time you talked about. But I now understand you

valencia2012:
Sorry, I meant as long as there are no middlemen involved and it's your outfit.
1000 hours tomorrow then.

we haven't discussed your location and you don't know what I already planned for tomorrow. You can't just ask me to leave everything I planned to do tomorrow and start coming to your site. These are things we need to sort out before I move from my place to your site

valencia2012:
Affirmative!
As long as there are middlemen involved. Its your outfit. Tomorrow then? 1000 hours?

you're speaking in the language of learned. Can you bring it down to my level please

valencia2012:
A very Merry Birthday to you!
Can you produce this with wrought iron?
Can I install it before plastering? If yes, can you visit my site as soon as possible to take measurements
What's the projected cost?

yes sir. I'm currently discussing such with oga Ne3t now. Can you send me a message on my WhatsApp let's discuss the details about the job

n3xt:
Honestly, I’m not bothered or worried. That’s why I still send you a new job that can be done offsite.

I’ll definitely get back to you on that.

Regards

thanks man

I think you are having a rough and unjustified rough patch and ride. From most of the post directed at you, it is not difficult to see you are being cyber bullied. This is no longer crytical analysis. This is bulling.

I have followed your dignified responses and I wish to offer my support to your effort and encourage you in finding honest enterprise.

You answered and supplied all requested information eloquently and some have turned around and use this against you. How can a common welder speak and write so eloquently. Don't be discouraged na Naija way. Superiority complex with some Nigerians na 5 and 6.

You post pictures, no you must post from cloud. You post concept designs, no you must post all doors from one location. It is never enough. Don't be discouraged. Life is a science. If you are out for honest enterprise, trust me, success will find you. And it will be like magic.

You have not done anything wrong in your response to queries concerning your work so I openly condem any unfounded labeling you as fraudulent. I stand by you and support you in finding honest enterprise.

I recognise you are a human being. I recognise you are trying to find honest enterprise. So be encouraged.

We all need a break or two and a kind (Chi) kindred spirit to make it in life. Say "yes" and your chi will say yes. Those whose palm karnel has been cracked by a benevolent spirit, should not forget to be humble (and kind).

Happy Birthday and many happy returns.

thanks for the kind words. It's really uplifting. I know that starting from the scratch is always difficult.

I'm a secondary school graduate and I didn't waste my days in school.
