Also, there are certain things that can't pass NIGERIAN Customs when importing via AliExpress.

Be sure to verify prohibited Items.

I'll share images of what I've purchased from AliExpress last week, that we're expecting latest 12th January, 2021.

They're mostly items for building
This is not bad at all!

Am looking at 40ft container for this.. Then last time I asked I was told by a clearing agent that I will need license to be able to buy stuff directly. Am not sure if anyone here have heard something similar too. Who knows maybe Aliexpress agents can't handle it.
It may be possible. The client who did that was a very big importer in Lagos.

Are you looking at 40ft container for roofing sheets alone? Or including other stuffs?

Is there the possibility of buying stone coat roofing sheets directly from China through Aliexpress?? Assuming am able to pay for it. Am looking at starting a new project and had once thought of just buying stuffs from China directly.
It’s possible. I did a project here few years ago. The client ordered everything from roofing to bathroom fixtures and wardrobes from china in a 40ft container.

I think it took 60 days.

Also there are Chinese companies talking to us directly on our projects. But we are doing this for a mini-estate requiring over 10,000sqm

It’s cool but I’m looking at a platform where we can have full control. FB Group is limited in my opinion.

I tried something before but it was on a free platform (Proboards). It’s more like an advanced version of nairaland.

I’ve been asking Seun for this for donkey years and he has refused. Even though he’s very active on Twitter and he sees how effective the block button is on there.

I suspect that the traffic that nonsense fracases like this gets increases his bottom line.

There can be no other reason. Maybe one of the enterprising lads can code an alternative portal to read Nairaland and with modern tools.
This is long overdue. We had this discussion about 7 years ago.

There are far bigger platform than Nairaland that are well moderated.

I game if I see anyone who’s interested. Let’s start with a premium platform for DIY homeowner/hobbyists.

Our job is just to design the framework. There are smart guys who will do the job for cheap.

A funny thing happened at my site yesterday. A man living Abroad came back to Nigeria last week and decided to come check the house they built for him after 13 years living Abroad. This particular house is the first house in my avenue with 100% finishing 2 flats bungalow.

He was shocked and disappointed cos he thought they built the house in lekki or ajah Axis grin

He said he can't live here (he can't live with the poor and average people i guess) and told them to sell the house.

He left with anger and disappoinment angry

Even though his person in Nigeria built the house to his taste, at least she should be honest with him with the location. But the woman said he wasn't serious and he doesn't want the man to be scared of building house that's why she just told him to send money that there is a good land in the island with cheap price grin

So she tricked the man out of "care" for him to manage the little he has to become a landlord cos he wants to live in ajah or lekki axis but he doesn't have the power.
The man will come back for the house. I can assure you!

Good day everyone here
I just discovered this thread few days ago and I guess this thread will be really helpful to me in my coming projects and I can say that there’re a lot of Great peeps on this particular thread
it’s due to the tribal war that I’ve kept mute and unable to ask my question all these while but it seems it has died down a little bit
My question goes thus

— is it advisable to have a building worth 12m on a 550k plot of land at ikorodu

Examples?
Here’s a very good example: https://www.nairaland.com/6335460/imota-rice-mill-nears-completion#97509682

Land is still being sold around +/- 500k around this project and the prospect is very high.

As at the time I was building a particular project, a man in diaspora was also building a gigantic structure next to me.

Fast forward to 3 years later, the man’s daughter came home and she drove down to the gate of the house that I built believing it should be owned by someone in diaspora.
When she realized it wasn’t their building, she turn back in despair and eventually they were forced to rent out the building.

And it seems the only wrong been repeatedly pointed out is the buyer failing to count before leaving the place of purchase.

Very little or nothing had been said so far on the seller you (most likely) deliberately short delivered, and wrote a wrong figure on the receipt.
It’s not important.

The second we treat trolls as an inescapable part of our community, we have given them the permission to terrorize our territory.

That’s why I kept asking “Is this the best approach? Are these our best feet? Can’t we maintain decorum while such issues are treated? Must it always result to an eye-for-an-eye?”

I condemn tribalism. But I detest trolls.

Values are promoted by what we do, not what we wrote down in our vision/mission statement.

That's the essence of this thread.

Post your challenges/encounters, let's review it/them together.

I've never used tiles spacer before.

You mentioned it on this thread and the fact that it's very cheap.

Now, I'm using it.

I bought 3 packs for ₦2100 (₦700 each)
Just imagine the difference #2,000 brought to your project.

Most of these stuffs are dirty cheap if leverage on the values gotten from this thread.

It may vary in terms of prices and quality, but the close couple we bought at Orílè on Christmas Eve cost ₦30,000 each.

Some may be more expensive.

This is just to give you an idea
My guy is quoting 100+ for the particular one I posted and I was like “for wetin”

30 - 50k seems more like it.

Long Post!!!

The issue is not so much whether the OP did or said hurtful things to a tribe. It’s pretty much inevitable if we chose to leave things to continue the same way. It’s much about how we try to understand what triggered the reaction.

Before I react in situation like this, I’d try to find perspective.

I’m sure you’d agree the OP didn’t just jump into conclusion. He listed out some of his past experiences from different suppliers.
Going out of his way to use the same people he’s complaining about shows he’s not tribalistic and he actually respect “your people.”

You know how painful it is to be mocked for taking a decision against other people’s wish and still got betrayed. The closest thing to it is to be insulted over an offense you didn’t commit.

E.g. “Nigerians are fantastically corrupt”, “Lazy Nigerian Youths...” etc

The second thing I’d do is to acknowledge and voice the unspoken.

For a man who just lost some thousands of naira (I remember you called it “just N130k”. Pls make una dash me o if you get am plenty o grin), I think it’d be nice to show compassion and see how you can turn the silent worries of the aggrieved into an actual discussion that can have many potential benefits for him and your people and not to issue him an ultimatum.

A lot of times you’ll realize that what you believed to be the truth wasn’t the whole picture when you have one-on-one discussion with an aggrieved person.

The man just wanted his complete order which wasn’t coming from “your man” (the supplier). Everyone defending tribes here failed to address this.

We simply dispel this as unimportant and felt appeasing the internet gods is.

We are quick to crucify the aggrieved man for over-reacting and shield our own as if nothing happened.

That’s unfair.

Some few years ago, a woman (my tribe) gave a long list of the things her husband (another tribe) is doing wrong, how the in-laws have been so terrible and it almost turned into heated argument right at my place.

I asked the wife “Do you want to be right or want to be married?” Then, there was silence in the house.

If we truly want to avoid a reoccurrence in the future, I think it’s fair to talk to our people about how to manage customers and not shield them in the name of patriotism.

For those using Brabus as an example, he was openly castigated by his people. They were not shielding him. In fact his closest friend testified against him in court but the truth eventually prevailed. He won! (even though that story didn’t make the headline grin)
If we continue to exhibit this type of character (pitching tribes against one another) every time something bad happen, it reveals insecurity disguised as patriotism.

We can handle this maturely instead of launching deliberately offensive or provocative online post with the aim of upsetting other tribes or eliciting an angry response from thread users.

It speaks volume about who we are and what we stand for.

The truth is that the approach taken whether we admit it or not, has a meaning and a target. You are inherently saying, “This cause you’re pursuing is worthy of mockery.”

I’m speaking as a matured Nigerian and not a Nairaland warrior.

I love everyone!

@davodyguy

Sir,

When it comes to how we respond to betrayal and assaults, our tactics can and will always vary. It may involve anger, humor, love, tolerance, blocking, or maybe even some productive discussion.

Nothing says you have to forgive your offender for hurting you especially when the behavior is a pattern. But sometimes a friendship is too important to let go. In this case, our co-existence as one big family grin
I know you go still enter Idumagbo next month to buy some materials.

Recognizing that you’re both human and that you’ve made mistakes too can be enough to help you move past it.

I’d appreciate if you can pacify the aggrieved here. I dey ground dey type this message o baba grin I’m not issuing an order.

Thank you sir!
