He said he is using Four three quarter h beam

well, if he says he can deliver and you're certain, pay him 100%. This is the only way he can do it.

25ft tank stand for 750k, I can not do it no matter how I calculate it

You left power and authority less than a year ago. You had a whole eight years to tell your bosses about this wonderful idea but no, you will rather get sense and inspiration the moment you're out of power.


Na so Tinubu suggested all these things to move Nigeria forward and now, he's not doing any of them

Amankedinaihu:
Hi Michlins,
I am wondering how to get your estimate for a 30' tank stand in Ekwusigo?

if you can please provide me with the details. How many tanks do you intend for it to handle

Badgers14:
The situation on ground.. seems like economic sabotage Promax. I thought it was bad during GEJs tenure.. Buhari's government was worse and Tinubu's government goes hold my beer.

For lack of better word.. it is like a hopeless situation.. and almost irredeemable...( but I do hope and pray for a miracle for it to be redeemed)

It's makes me sad to see how things are bad for the common man.

Like we all are discussing building construction here.. now let's say someone managed to raise $63k to build a house in this current clime.. now where you go see legitimate tenants that would rent the place?

How many people can comfortably afford the high rent at this time, even yahoo boys sef... if you allow them in your property and stomach their wahala.. when there rent expires.. it is usually war for them to pay.

hopeless situation it is. But the funny thing is that people are building like crazy right now. I don't even understand it again

gbadexy:
True but this is assuming payment was made within a short period prices was quoted for.

I made a quotation in the morning and the client said he will pay by evening. That afternoon, there was 1k increase in the cost of one of the materials. Calculate the quantity I need. So how do you discuss it with the client without sounding stupid and ignorant of your trade.

I just swallowed the losses from my end and took up the job

Badgers14:
Although there are alternatives... say you do transfer for others that need it.

The pesin would want you to transfer at bdc rate of 1525.. say man got 3m in rent and want to use it for one or two at base.. 3m would give ya $1,967 (@1525/$1).. that's is not even enough to pay one month rent for many people .

Compared to 367/$1 that would fetch $8,174 (for 3m)

so like this, which way biko cause it's like an looped circuit with no exit

erico2k2:
Guys if you can buy Cement this evening better go and buy as much as you need cos its going up on Monday, I just bought 20 bags @ N6200, some already selling the Monday price N6700.We don die for Nigeria

for days now, it has been 6700 here in Nnewi

gbadexy:
Not so funny thing is that the increase can't be continually passed on to the client at the same rate.

there's so much adjustment a client can take. He or she is also dealing with same fluctuations in his or her own business. To mitigate this issue, client needs to pay at least 80% of the contract sum. And this is where it gets difficult cause not everyone can afford it

topsy23:
The ongoing economic challenges have led to a daily increase in material prices. This is really affecting majority of contractors. Giving a quotation now is somehow you may not know tomorrow's price.

Coleman increase price twice in January(24th and 31st) and this increment does not come with any notice. Heard again that in the coming days there might price changes again.

Really affecting a lot of business.

this is nothing compared to what I experience daily. On Thursday, I bought a tin of body filler for 30k, yesterday which was Friday, I bought 32k in the morning and 35k in the evening

Paraman:
Lol

Who are the people who will mop up $5 billion in days?

How much naira do you think is needed to mop up $5 billion? Where will they get the naira from?

the same people who liquidated our excess crude account, liquidated our external reserves. They're still waiting for the government to push dollars so they can mop up and resell at premium. Same people who mopped up the $3bn afrimbank loan for crude.


And no, Nigeria banks don't have dollar reserve of up to $5bn. It's merely a propaganda

Paraman:
One kid was telling me dollar will shoot up to $/#2000 yesterday because abokis decide not to sell or buy yesterday in some part of abuja.

and it will happen. This is temporary relief which will be mopped up within days

Good morning sir. Here's my digits. 07032fourfour6904

Amankedinaihu:
Oga Michlins,
Please let me know when you would be available to talk.
I have a project in Ekwuaigo.
I'm not sure how to contact you but I hope you will respond to this message.

Thanks
Amankedinaihu

February will be kind

Work has been ongoing with the two gates

Rany4all:
Due to the way they are made in Naija, welded handrails, yes including wrought iron handrails, are installed by cutting or cracking the wall and floor, before holding them in place with mortar. Tiles can then be cut and placed neatly around them. You might damage your tiles or mess them up with mortar if you place them before installing welded handrails.

On the other hand, stainless rails are installed by using power tools to drill through wall and tiles, before using anchors to hold them in place. The tiles are usually not damaged or messed up with mortar during this process.

see the wrought iron handrail I can do for you

Rany4all:
Electrical fittings - lights/lamp holders, sockets and switches.

Mechanical fittings/fixtures - toilets, washhand basins, sinks, and other kitchen/bathroom accessories.


Depends on the type of handrails. For stainless steel handrails, install after tiling. For welded handrails, install before tiling.

yes you're right about it

Antivirus92:
and some people have the capacity to correct the mess more than others, Peter Obi is such a person...

BTW, it amazes me now how u blind apc supporters now admit that buhari's tenure was calamitous. Is it no longer sai Baba, 4 plus 4 and next level?

you didn't champion Obi reach me half. But then he didn't win. We have to make the best of the current situation and manage it

SoNature:
Believe it or not, Nigeria wouldn't have been in this economic mess had INEC declared Peter Obi the winner of the last election. Nigerians are not ready to have a working country yet.

whoever won will meet this mess made by Buhari and APC

Tinubu says it's not possible

AGRICT:
Please someone gave me a quotation of 750,000 for a one story building tank stand that would carry two tanks.

Please is the price okay?

Cc rotecch77 michlins

if you're certain that he will deliver, pay him 100% but I can tell you for free,he can not deliver if he's working with H beam channels

We make enough forex to enable us settle our foreign currency requirements but the corrupt nature of nnpc has made it impossible.


Let this form of accountability be carried out properly and we will be out of this mess within four years

Honestly, I don't subscribe to anyone putting any mark on my children but hitting her to that extent is a no no.

blacknp:
Ask any of them to tell you how much foreign exchange they made to help the Nigerian Naira, or their States & Local Governments made from exportation of commodities based on their comparative advantages?

Lackadaisical Minded nation of people, una go wail & wait tire, keep doing the same sanctimonious waffle since 1970, but expecting a different outcome.

Nonsense, they want the Federal government to keep subsidizing foreign exchange for them from the foreign reserve it generated from oil & gas receipts?

export what exactly?

We do not have comparative advantage to export. Raw materials are sourced abroad and priced at international rates due to dollar.

To be able to take advantage of the exchange rates, Nigeria should have access to cheap raw materials, steady and cheap power supply, cheap transportation.

All of those factors are charged at dollar rates so it drives the total cost of production higher than what it should be.

If you do anything production, you should know these things and not drink the Kool aid supplied by propaganda agencies and people.

My work before has almost tripped on production costs

ManirBK:
those days of sport24, afn channels, sky sports package, TV varzesh and many more they are all history

so either paid or IPTV right?

kingthreat:
There was a reason Jesus rode a donkey.
He was on a donkey when he was born and he was on a donkey on the triumphant entry into Jerusalem.
There is also a reason Balaam rode a donkey and a reason why the donkey spoke.
Donkeys have spiritual significance. However, you don't have to believe me.

the reason is simple, donkey was the mode of transportation available for the poor at that time. Donkey is like the okada of today.

If there was a car, I guess Jesus must have taken that.

Stop reading meanings into random things

Oghene86:
Don't mind the idiot, it's ok we are going to charge what's been charged abroad since you want us to collect rent monthly. A single room in the UK with shared toilets and kitchen is £500 pounds per month, that's N875,000 per month, so landlords will now charge for a month.

3 bedroom flat in the US goes for $2500 per month, that will be N3,600,000 per month

when you earn in either of the currency mentioned,it wouldn't be much

Sabadon:


Why is the average Nigerian just corrupt

it's very obvious that you didn't read the article.

You should try and read it now to understand what was discussed there

I'm here already

Installed these railings on site yesterday
