A wall of windows (floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall and even more) brings nature inside.

Formwork from the mill to the site.

A hillside CountryHome coming to Ondo township.

Preliminary site investigation ongoing. I'm really thrilled and wowed by the scenery view of the proposed development site.

Birds of the same feather.
So, the IGR of Lagos got to where it is overnight. It was mere 600 million per month, when Ashiwaju came in as Governor, and when Fashola was leaving, the IGR was in the region of 25 - 30 billion per month. Take Fashola to Akwa Ibom, and you will see the difference. It's not solely the issue of allocation,but how to manage it, for the benefit of the populace. Lagos is the 4th or 5th largest economy in Africa. So, Works,Housing and Power Ministry cannot be too much for a successful Ex-Lagos governor to manage.
More importantly, the 2016 is not operational yet. Those of us that voted for PMB are not complaining, cos we understand what governance is all about, but you're entitled to wailing, having lost out in the last elections. By 2019, we will be ready for you again.

For the records.

NaWetinDey:
Nigeria is rife with ethno-centrism. The saddest is that 'modern' ignorance has bloated it to a point that every observation is viewed from the eye of bigotry.

As it is, we are all matching to an unknown destruction. Nevertheless, we have now to decide to either get it together or perish together.. someday.

You watch it!

Word of wisdom

garfield16:
I asked you a question, is it normal for a country to produce 0MW of power? for all power sources to fail all at once? for gas pipelines to power stations to expllode as the same time as hydro power fails?


Beleive me I am very aware of his short comings but let Buhari fail of his own accord if he is to fail. If he is relying on Fashola he will likely fail then we will vote him out, but if people want to sabotage him then it will backfire.

I get you. The question remains "If we believe there are saboteurs in the system, should we get Chinese to come and do the job for us?" We will still use our own people. So let's stop the blame game. Get to work. The govt already have the mandate and campaign season is over.

garfield16:
1. How do you explain 0MW? No matter how incompetent a govt is 0MW is an impossibility, it can only be explained by sabotage.

2. Furthermore, there might have been a change in govt but let's not pretend the sensitive positions in the civil service are not still manned by stooges of the previous administration. Corruption fights back as they say.

3. It's basically ministry of Infrastucture and personally I feel Fashola in not the man for the job, I've always felt he is overrated but that's not the reason we have 0MW of power for 2 days

4. Enough of the Junketeering Nonsense, it's petty! Buhari is an old man, I'm sure if he had his way he would stay at home. He travels because he has to for the sake of the country. Physical presence and personal relationships make a difference.


Buhari has his faults and some of his advisers and members of his team may not be the brightest but it's clear there are people trying to sabotage his administration, but he is a sincere man and I would rather have Buhari and his team than vote for people who will sabotage the country for their own personal gain.

Bros, this is how I can explain it in a layman term.

If you put a rookie in charge of an hospital, there's a tendency people will be sent to theatre for mere headache. Why because a rookie is in charge.
Now, you can only complain about foul play if you put an expert (a round peg in a round hole) in charge and things go south.

Have you ever taken your car to a rookie mechanic before for diagnosis and he told you you need to buy all the parts of the engine to fix a cold start. That's the situation we have in Nigeria.
I can still remember when we have Barth Nnaji as a minister for power in Nigeria, I knew we were getting there until he was ousted. I hope you can still remember that man. Mind you I be Yoruba o!

Bros, Buhari is a big error to the New Nigeria programme. We are taken aback. I'm sure you know it didn't take OBJ more than 500 days in govt under Ndukwe (minister) to issue econet the first GSM license in January 2001. That's the govt we left for this caricature govt. And this is coming from a president who's just coming from the prison. Buhari has always been a dullard even at the NEC meetings. So don't expect a miracle. And don't insult our intelligence by calling it sabotage. By who? Do you mean we should now bring people from China to run our country for us.

Tell me one thing concrete that this government has done in 310 days.

prophetfire:
my dear U said it all. Givin 3 key and strong ministries like power, housing and works which re important to the succes or failure evaluation of a govt to one man shows that our president may be a dullard as pdp peeps call him. Just one of those three is enough to keep one person on the edge in an infrastructuraly and power decrepit country like nigeria.

Let any sane Nigerian take me up on that subject and I'll make them see reasons why this govt is dead on arrival.

I'm sure most people don't know that the major problem with Nigeria infrastructure are with the civil servant especially those in this ministries.

Ministers can only act on information provided. He's not the technician and he's not trained as one or ever worked as a trained engineer. It'll take decades for a lawyer to learn the nitty-gritty of engineering.

garfield16:
I'm not happy with Buhari on many fronts but it is obvious that many of his travails are part of a deliberate strategy to frustrate his government. How do you explain 0 MW? how is that even possible without sabotage?

So I will vote him again just to prove to you people trying to sabotage his govt, that this is not the way to behave. You don't sabotage the govt simply because you lost power.


I would rather have a sincere ruler who is failing, than have a leader who is prepared to sabotage the government of the day just so he can turn public opinion and regain power.

We have a very big problem in Nigeria. Who's sabotaging the govt?

Ask yourself this simple question? Is Nigeria a mere local govt that the govt of the day will put only one man in charge of power, works and infrastructure? A country of 180 million people. Isn't that approach a good recipe for failure? Did you think the Lagos superman can achieved the same feat in a state like Ekiti which is purely civil servant state. The IGR of Lagos state is almost 13% of the country's which is more than enough for any man to perform wonders coupled with the fact that the once Capital city has been well developed to attract investors. So the govt has a little to do.


Worse still, the junketeering head of state is doubling as the minister of petroleum with all the attending challenges and issues. No who's sabotaging Nigeria.

Be realistic for this once.

modath:
This threat is just like a Pig butcher threatening not to dash pork to an Alfa & a Jew! ... Na Oyingbo market, y'all won't be missed..

So some people believe this present biting fuel crisis will be with us till 2018? Seems they are forgetting a little thing called Dangote's refinery!

Buhari is "fortunate" that his government's challenges are showing up in his first year of government so he will have ample opportunity to address, correct & deliver on his promises... If this were to be mid 2018, then he'd be toast.

I think it should be that Nigerians are fortunate to see that this government is unprepared for the task ahead of them. And it's manifesting early enough for us to make the needed decisions. They've been playing the defensive all along.

Anyway, let's digress. I'm actually more interested in the Dangote thingy. Tell more something I don't know. For the records, the logistics of running such a massive refinery hasn't commence. So don't rejoice. Try and visit the proposed refinery site and tell yourself the truth and not some conspiracy theories that can only work on paper. They're yet to finish land reclamation and no single building has been erected. Do you think the refinery workers will work from the space or everything will be built in a day. So don't rejoice yet. I know Dangote will rather prefer to sell to nations that have business friendly economic policies unlike clueless ones we've got. I'm sure you can see that the site was strategically positioned near the Atlantic. All other companies that tread that path are selling their stuffs to neighbouring African countries eg. MainOne, Glo submarine cables etc.

@ Modath, baba don get a taste of Naija presidency for the 2nd time which I believe is a long age dream for him. I think it's fair to tell him the truth that we no feel am at all. Integrity or no integrity. Nothing seems to be working at the moment. We are only living on past glories.

People are wiser this days. If you think otherwise, ask Jonathan. We are no longer going to be fooled by last minute rush.

Bubu already got his chance. Let's see how he'll use it.

Thanks.

Dee60:
It was never going to be easy to clean up the mess of 6 years, or 16 years.

Change is never easy.

If the last tenure had continued Nigeria may have bled to death now!

How much time is required?

Everyday! Another story!

There's hope for Nigerians at the next bus stop. I'll rather have us start discussing the future of Nigeria and say no to all this same of same people running this country aground since the days of Lord Lugard.

Enough is enough. No light. No fuel. No money!

We are presently at 20% of the journey. May God give us the strength to finish well. It's just a pity!

EgunMogaji:
A very good catch on the courtyard drainage. I have two 4" drains coming out of the courtyard. There will only be direct water from rains into the courtyard as the roof will have rain gutters and there will be a few water gulping trees in there.

Thanks for the observation.

Good job. With two 4" Drain, you're good.

@ EgunMogaji, have you poured your slab yet? I'm just thinking it would be nice if you can introduce a drain for rainwater runoff in the courtyard or better still leave out the drain-off points for proper installation at a later time.

There are stylish linear types which will be a perfect solution for your courtyard. There's no prob if you leave out the space though.

All the best.

Are you scared of Omo Onile (illegitimate) land deals in Lagos state like me? Will you be interested in getting land from any of the Government New Town Development Land Schemes in Lagos? Then, know where those legitimate government lands are and who's in charge.

Note: If there is no separate metering for the electricity, the tenancy agreement should put in a calculation about how the tenant’s costs will be worked out. For example, a calculation for electricity may be as follows:

total amount of bill ÷ total number of bedrooms in the apartment block × number of bedrooms in the rental premises in this tenancy agreement or based on different variables.

It is important to include these calculations as the tenant is not obliged to pay a utility bill unless there is written agreement about how the bill will be calculated.
