Takoro13:Price of Building materials ALWAYS GO UP as we approach December, because everyone wants to rush, complete and move-in between Christmas and New Year! ![]() Why would you borrow money, to buy in a time of rising prices? Me, l always start building or making financial purchases in mid January, when everyone is Broke! ![]() That way, l get the best for my kobokobo. ![]() If Landlord is not acting funny, just wait for some weeks, price will come down definitely. |

Chekitaut:Check-it-out! I can relate with your challenges up there. I agree that Nigeria is one wild environment where things dont always go according to plan and l can only pray and wish you more growth and success, in your chosen occupation. Just keep trying to put in your best and be extremely OPEN with your Customers, they will understand and be considerate. once they come to understand that your YES, is your YES. It is just like Husband and Wife, once you TRUST your Wife, it odes not matter what happens, she only needs to inform you and you will find a way to accommodate it/her but once there is no trust, no matter what she says, there will always be suspicion and that is where the trouble stars from. So, HONESTY and TRUST are the two most important ingredient, along with HUMILITY, to grow a business. I have a very strong feeling you are rebuilding and coming back stronger, dont relent, God is your strength. Let me go to the funky part: I know it is not easy to save but 'savings' is the first money we 'spend' (keep aside) when we get salary or make profit. 1) Keep money aside, to build your business. 2) All these banks that see the turn-around in yoru business, can you approach them for a Loan, can you access Govt, business loans, to grow your business? 3) Since you cant afford buying a truck, just like that, can you buy a Smaller vehicle (Bus, Van, Canter, etc) that you can use in running smaller business, so it brings you income that you can now keep saving till it gets to the point where you can use it as a collateral to obtain a bigger bank loan? 4) Are you honest and straightforward enough, to the point that one of these Diasporeans can go into business partnership with you, send a truck down to Nigeria and you operate it on a 40/60 basis (or any other suitable percentage), saving most of your own part and looking forward to either buy-out the Oga in London/America or just build the business more and more, on the basis of that formula? I am making these suggestions because l think you cannot allow yourself to be subject to all those problems, real problems above. You have to start thinking of stabilising your business and building a name for yourself. You wont be able to do so, if you have to depend on those drivers for the success of your business name. Nigeria is a harsh business environment. Forgive me for carrying your matter on-top of my head, na those Poisoned Indomie Palliative dey worry me. ![]() God bless your hustle, keep is honest and simple. |
mufutau55:I still did two Plots for 180K at Ikorodu, in 2017 and it was done with Red Copy which l later used another Person to confirm. Lagos proper was 100K per plot and all of a sudden they jerked it up to 400K, after a meeting! I am certain that Surveyors (in general) are getting less job today, that they get five years ago because a lot of poor people are just refusing to do Survey (not a good thing though), because they cant afford it. How can you tell someone who wants to start building a room and parlour to house his family with Monthly salary (even the land itself is pay-instalmentally), to come and pay 400K just to map it out? Such people will rather build first and 'hope for the best', than bother with Survey. The action of the SCOAN is contributing to illegal structures and uncordinated development, across board, in my own opinion. Prices should not just be fixed arbitrarily, without taking the earning Power of the customers into consideration. Anyway, EXTORTION has become a way of life in Nigeria, not just Surveyors, just go to the market and see how prices double everyday, because the seller decides to just double the price, nothing more. ![]() Maybe we need to re-introduce Price Control? |
You people should understand what is going on. The Security Officers are deliberately creating CHAOS, so that the populace can beg them to come back! It is not even better when they were around, at least there is no extortion and killing of the innocent by armed Gunmen called Police What Civil Society needs to do is organise and take over the responsibilities of these Criminals in Uniform and do it better, without all the criminality that they perpetuate. And the Govt should stop paying them with out TAX, since the are no longer working |
Grayoso:Me, Ipob? Oti'sii, since 1904. ![]() Some of you are so dumb, anyone who tells the truth or is against that Drug Lord calle Tinubu, suddenly becomes an Ipob? Is it that Yorubas can no longer tell themselves the truth because Tinubu has bought the brain of some of us? Shame. |
tollyboy5:Most of Nigerian Judges are more Criminal than the Armed Robbers they send to Prison. They take Bribes from Criminals and sentence the innocent ot Prison or is it not in this country that the CJN was removed for Corruption? So, it is not rocket science to understand why Tinubu was freed in Court and convicted with "Plea Bargain" in a US Court? ![]() |
TecM0:Please remind us that Tinubu also removed Ambode because that one raised eyebrow about Tinubu's collection of over half of the federal Allocation to Lagos States and each Local Govt / LCDA? You wonder why LGA's and LCDA's cant even patch street Roads any more, since Tinubu came on the Political scene of Lagos? You know what, Nigerians are waiting for hi at the Polls, come 2023, if he has the liver, let him carry Ballot (just that Yorubas dont want him to be called the slot of Southerners ).He will be taught a lesson he wont forget in a hurry. Tinubu should go and ask his friend, the Oba of Lagos why his neighbours were watching and laughing when Yoruba thugs invaded his Palace and took his Staff of office away. ![]() |
BigBashiru:You should know that Bad Leadership cuts across ALL African countries, in various degrees. If the Black man are inferior as yo uare saying, how come Nigerians are the highest immigrant population of those Qualifying as Medical Doctors in the US? How come Black people top their Class a lot of times in the US? How come Black people are excelling in various fields in other countries? Or do you think the DNA of those Black people were replaced once they leave Nigeria? How is a Billionaire Trump who makes people to pay tax but refuses to pay adequate Tax, different from all these Nigeria Politicians? How are all those American Politicians currently trying to manipulate the Voting in the US right now, using Voter intimidation, Voter Suppression and aggression against the opposition, different from the Tinubus and Bode George of Nigerians Its all about BAD LEADERSHIP Bro, the type that Tinubu and Bode george represents. |
azzima:Learn to SEPARATE the MESSAGE from the MESSENGER! OBJ is one of the worst Yorubas to ever live but when he says sensible things (things he should have done but did not do when he was President/Head of State) we will still listen to him, because we can separate his Person, from his Message! Even a thief can preach, as long as what he is saying makes sense, it can be used 'usefully' but that does not mean he is not a thief. Bode George could be worse than Tinubu today, but as it stands TODAY, Tinubu is wore than him. |
BigBashiru:Tinubu must be laughing out loudly, as per how f00lish these Pawns can be. ![]() |
tegrianonigltd:White are NOT Superior, that is a flawed assumption! The difference between Whites and Blacks is Discrepit Leadership, exemplified by the likes of Tinubu. The owner of two Airports (Standstead and LHR l think, is a Black man, a Nigerian for that matter). There are so many, many black men re-writting history all over the world, the Problem is in Nigeria, due to failed leaders like Tinubu and Bode George. Just look at Sanwo-Olu, the Army said he inivted them to kill Protesters occupying Tinubu's alley at the Toll Gate, yet he was the one shedding Crocodile tears after the Protesters have been killed! Nigeria's failure and indeed, that of the Black man, is all about FAILURE OF LEADERSHIP. Ghana was down this part too, until J.J Rawligns got rid of its corrupt and greedy Politicians, back then in the late 80's We will get rid of these Leeches in Nigeria too, very soon. |
RuudVanNisteroy:Leave that Boy alone, he is one of the Urchins that recieves pennies from Tinubu, to come and spew trash online. Letting him be acting like the Ostrich who berys its head in the Sand, so it does not see what is happening, it will soon touch him. The Destruction of Tinubu's properties is not done by Igbos, we all saw it on TV and Social Media, it was done by all manners of Nigerians, Hausa, Igbo, Ijaw, Yoruba inclusive. It is a reflection of the seething Anger and Hatred Lagosians have for the unbriddled greed of Tinubu an dhe better take note. |
Zico5:Relax, f00lish people will always be f00lish, no matter what you say! Their time will soon come, the recent one is a small sample, Next one will be total and strong. Let them keep defending their Slave master, it happened even in the days of slavery, Niggars defending their Owners against their fellow Black Slaves. Such people are called "House Niggars". |
yarimo:See the above? The same Nigerian Yoots that want to take Power, see the rubbish he is saying? ![]() All he has to say, because Bode George (another looter, in his own right!) pointedout the ravenous GREED of his God-father Poitician who does not even know of his existence except when to use him as "Political Thug", is to shout ENVY? ![]() You see the mentality of some of these 'Lazy Yoots' that the the Govt used as Hoodlums, to discredit the recent Protest? ![]() Kontinue, you hear. |
funshint:Buhari promised to End Power Shortage, in his "scam campaign" but more than five years after, he is busy building Rail lines into his Country of Origin (Niger Republic). he donated over $1Billion to Guinea, Fulani Futa Jallon heartland, when Nigerians are hungry! All these foreigners rulling Nigeria, dont mean well for this country, especially this vegetative one. |
BigBashiru:If it is a 'Black Race' then ALL Blacks must have it since it will be genetical but l am sure you better than to say ALL Blacks have it..... I for one, dont. ![]() Do you have the same problem mentioned? |
Buhari has come with another SCAM, in conjunction with our Egunje Labour Congress officers! How can the Discos increase price of Electricity by 300% in August (times 3) and then Govt comes out to say it has reached agreement with Labour officials to reduce it by 10%? What kind of criminal agreement is that? ![]() #EndDISCOS #EndLabourCongressOfficersNow ![]() |
Walterthaboss:It sometimes distract from the purpose of the thread, if everyone starts advertising Perfume, to cars, to Indomie ![]() What l think you can do, is to create a dedicated thread for your Items/advert and then put just the link here so that anyone who sees the link can just click on it and view your Products. My neighbour wants to advertise his onw share of Palliative Indomie here sef but l told him it is NOT FOR SALE, he should just throw it over into my fence, l will help him return it to warehouse. ![]() |
mufutau55:Hajj, Laughter make us younger, at least on the facial muscles. ![]() But @acess14r said: "the amount vibrate me"! I just cant stop imagining how somebody will VIBRATE on hearing 'Price'! ![]() Make l carry my own Indomie Palliative go cook before Police break door enter House. ![]() Shey dem go open my stomach check, abi? ![]() |
SurveyorGeo:You are welcome, Sir. |
Access14:Go offline with him, l am sure he is a good man. You dont have to state the price here (we also need to protect good men from shylock associations) but if you have a good deal, just call it a good deal. That 400K is 'SARS Price' o, not for kobokobo people like us.. ![]() |
Thenext:Please continue to patronise him, l think he is turning (has turned) a new leaf and l support him in that 100%. @Chekitaut, shey you dey hear? Dont disappoint o. We nor be Witch but we dey watch you like Mad. ![]() |
SurveyorGeo:SurveyorGeo! SurveyorGeo!! SurveyorGeo!!! how many times be dat? ![]() You know as we dey, dont disappoint. I know that you have to keep up the appearance of that official price. ![]() Discuss offline, the LAW allows you to negotiate your own profit with yoru customers, if you chose a 'Rapid Turnover' Business Model, instead of a 'Huge Profit with Low Turnover' business model. Thank you as usual. |
Access14:@SurveyorGeo: Can you give this memebr a GOOD DEAL? I dont want all those official 'we charge 80% because that is what our ssociation said we should charge" o! Association does not feed anyone, they only collect membership fee! ![]() i trust you not to let this house down, when it comes to things like that, let us leave 80% for those people on the other side. ![]() @Access14: negotiate with SurveyorGeo, if he doesnot give yo a good deal, let us know so we can include his matter in the #EndSARS Protest or we tell the Public that he is hiding Palliatives inside his house! ![]() He is a resonable Surveyor. |
Chekitaut:Dont take Criticisms the wrong way! I am not mean to you, It is a reminder that "Nothing is forgotten and Nothing should be taken for granted". Do you remember one time when you analysed in your Post, the different types of SCAMS that Granite Suppliers use to use in cheating Customers (Yoodi, Ashawo, etc) ? That is how far you went to built trust in your Customers. I also understand that there are things, events that we cant control and l am sure Customers also know that afterall, we are all humanbeings. What the CUSTOMER expects and demand is FULL TRANSPARENCY AND HONESTY, dont forget some of them are also working on Budget and tight TIME SCHEDULE so disappointments here and there also affects them. If Supplier fails and there is no material on ground, as of when House Owner promised a builder to come and work, (Builder has also brought daily workers), all because the Supplier disappointed, the House Owner still have to pay those Workers even though they could not work since you are in-charge of Material Supply. ![]() If we hear of any stories that a member here tries to cheat you, l am sure we will intervene, as we have done on the cases of so many people, your own cant be different. We protect ourselves here, Clients and Contractors. My suggestion is that you communicate to your Customers, as early as possible, in a honest and transparent manner. I like you as a person and l have gained from your knowledge in the past, that is why l am saying all these to you, because l want you to go back to the Old Chekitaut that we all trust and recommend. You can do it. Injections of Medicine can be painful initially but it is designed to heal and bring good health afterwards. I wish you more grease to your elbow, l wish you more success and growth. I wish that you are not just 'standing', l wish you to be 'running at full speed' by now. I know you have the capacity to do well if you chose to and l pray you will chose to. God-willing next year, l should be able to start another project around Chevron in Lagos and l will give you a trial again, to see if these disucssion has made any impact and will be reading the reviews of others about your services, as well. No bad feelings Bro, One Love |
omanzo02:Bury it directly under you Fence, at the point it is Marking and then put the letterings on it, on the wall of the Fence, so the letters can be seen. Never discard them. |
Walterthaboss:Na waa O! When did we start selling vehicle on this Thread? @Poster, you don miss road o or is this Vehicle on e of the looted palliatives? I am just asking , l come in Peace and l have headache so dont be annoyed. |
Thenext:He used to do very well before he went Rogue! Some years back (up to around 2014) he was the numero uno of Granite and Stone Dust supply on this thread. He supplied me five 30Tons and four 20tons granite (and lots of Stone Dust) some years back and they were okay, except the last one when he started telling me stories. I want to think and hope that he is begining to realise the importance of keeping it honest and simple. I wish him well |
Elmuhammadi:Deal Ruthlessly with any UNARMED Protester that you see - Buratai, to Nigerian Soldiers. You see where his priority lies? The Coward is only interested in killing unarmed Nigerians, not killing Boko Haram or Bandits or Terrorist Fulani Herdsmen. More than Five years now, No Progress, Boko Haram is just ambushing our Soldiers left, right and center because their Commander is CLUELESS. ![]() SHAME. |
That woman is only allowed to roam around because she is a Northerner, if she were to be a Southerner, Buhari would have ordered his goons in DSS to lock her up. Evil, Nepotistic, herdsmen fanatic, that Buhari |
JidennaJason:You sit down here in Nigeria and type nonsense, is it Buhari that paid their Airfare or citizenship application on America? Those Nigerians in America, will vote based on their own interest, in America. They can vote for a President whose only fixation is "Build the Wall, Separate the Kids from their Parents, Black People dont want to succeed or Nigerians should be sent back from the Shithole they came from, Covid will disappear, we are rounding the corner, despite over 1000 deaths everyday, Billionaire who pays less Tax compared to a Toilet Cleaner, a Cheat and Serial liar ". Or they can vote for a President who says "I will be President for all Americans, we need to take care of the less Priviledged among us, Affordable Healthcare for all Americans, Be safe and Use a mask, a Honest Man whose former Boss can vouch for". Nigerians in America are not stoopid, they know what it took to get where they are, away from the likes of Buhari, who is a sick and Islamic, fanatical version of Trump. Just calm down, it is just three days away. No need to be arguing. |

?? He is just pained because he is a YESTERDAY man....he would be worse if he was TODAY'S man.
