Nigerians are idiots. We don't have what it takes to build a modern society.

zuraking:
i am sure there is an error there. 38bags of pop cement for 295sqm house is an illusion.

molbic:
this is the area of my specialty but I didn't see the thread early so no need of expanciating even though I would have loved to

ElvisGee94:
Is this cheaper wen compared to Bricks

bigcountry234:
Please House ,how much does it cost to drill a standard borehole in Ibadan?

mdchikezie:
BUT THIS IS JUST A TINY HOUSE, HOW ABOUT MASSIVE RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS
EVEN A TYPICAL FAMILY HOUSE WITH MANY ROOMS, DONT YOU THINK THIS WOULD BE A HASSLE.

henrymor:
Thanks for your response. The bungalow has 3 rooms, 4 bathrooms, one kitchen, one sitting room, one anteroom, a walkway (passage), and two verandas (one at the font and one at the back). I want to do ceiling POP for all. The square meter of the house is 295.

The quotation is attached

farouk2much:
their knowledge is not up to that level, let them be using sand and cement, yeye builders

ehinmowo:
The building skeleton above would still require concretes. Would still amount to double cost? Or how would you cover those spaces?

onyechez:
If I want to use it for my administrative building for fish farming and poultry, how much will it cost me, next year January by special grace of God I want to build something like this in my land.

Drversatile:
How much does this cost to erect?

searchng4love:
Don't be wise by half. Burnt bricks are far better and cheaper building alternative solutions and can even be reused

KomonSense:
Are you a civil engineer? Or are you into building?

onyechez:
Wow nice, how can i see the inside view.

MrToothBrush:
but what about heat? You know Nigeria is a temprate region

mank1234:
Thanks SLAP44 for this exposition. I guess this implies that the price will come down soon.

Guys let's continue the wait game except if you're at critical stage.

I discouraged someone that wanted to buy 100 bags to pause his profect, if we all do this, I think they'll be force to have a rethink.

SLAP44:
What is behind the price hike is corruption, and it's happening on 3 levels.

Level one is where the manufacturer decides to leave a supply gap, citing disruptions like covid19 and the endsars riots, then hoard the products and release them in dries, to the highest bidders who are ready to pay from the backdoor to get supplied, because there is a large demand.

Level two corruption is among the dealers themselves, and they do that is by increasing costs exponentially to cover their losses which they are already incurring from customers who paid earlier at low cost, they must raise prices or relocate to their villages.

Level three is the government who will look at where it is happening and say, "after all its not affecting our people, so the south can kill themselves, after all they brought the endsars wahala on themselves"

princenomics:
Good afternoon House, please where can I buy coconut fiber? I want to construct my biodigester myself.

jiday4:
Thank you sir, have taken my mind off it, will try save more and buy the right wood

coldcandy:
Go back and read slowly the post u quoted. Read again and translate it to your native language for better understanding. Then come back and state where i said skills acquisition is not education.

If your blacksmith workshop is your school or university, good for you.
If your shop at alaba mkt is your polytechnic, that is fantastic.

bigcountry234:
Oh thought is Ibadan,thanks.

But he can join wood A with wood B to make a perfect and desired figure X that is missing.
Wonderful Carpenter Clement.

bigcountry234:
Please Sir where is this?

EgunMogaji2:
We flap jaw about openable burglary bars here often. I hope folks are paying attention. Also for second stories you need a fire escape ladder.

davodyguy:
That's the challenge I have with my POP guy.

He says some things that are insulting (what yoruba call apàra). I do confront him and he apologizes for not understanding how to communicate.

He's from Benin republic too and the over 7 boys he brought are from his country, not working with Nigerians

When I was Mr. Americana I hated to see young people on my sites. I felt it wasn’t a good move because I was measuring things with an American yardstick.

After I became tenured on the ground then I started seeing a lot of things differently.

That kid at the construction site could as well be the bread winner for his family. There are lots of complicated and maddening circumstances in Nigeria.

What I do is ensure that young folks are not tasked beyond their capacity and they get an education. Let me explain. For example I taught one to know why they count number of pans.

The younger folks get extra cash from me directly at the end of the day.

The numbskuls making laws up and down are consciousless twits who are isolated from the realities on the ground. I don’t use those as justification.

Most of the self made millionaires in the USA are trade people.

Please don’t quote me as I didn’t quote anybody. I have running stomach

sinorte:
Thank you. It sure helps.

But I noticed you didn't mention sharp sand as one of the materials required to produce the stones. Is sand optional?

zuraking:
unless we are just trying to feign ignorance or be an hypocrite. Nigeria govt has failed us so everyone is trying to survive.

I hate when I hear and read about education, education is overrated in Nigeria. When I count billionaires and millionaires in Nigeria and the whole world entirely, you won't see who made it big with education (I mean with salary from his/her white collar job). BUSINESS and SKILLS is the only WAY to survive in NIGERIA.

Education is good but it's useless in a shithole like Nigeria. Skills and family background is what youths are using to survive now (thanks to ASUU and FG that are playing kite with our students)

My 11 year old is now learning catering because I know the future of this useless country where graduates don't have hope of getting good job.

Greed is in Nigeria and we don't love ourselves. Same person preaching love doesn't love his neighbor including their dogs. We have rich people here that can help these underage kids in their street but will ignore them and start chasing how to build another house when they already have 5. It's self centered and most of them will still tell you child labor is bad. how many have we helped?? Let's start from our side.

If govt doesn't help them and the privileged ones can't help them as well then they have no choice than to enroll in different hand work to build their future. Everything shouldn't be about SCHOOL. Not all parents have the power to send their kids to school. I achieve a lot with my skills and not the book I read.
