Either you buy materials or you give it out with materials inclusive… the trick is make sure they don’t over quote measurement for yu

Charges are per sqm
..

Been to a place where previous installer measure 450 and I end up measuring 330sqm you can imagine the huge difference

Almost exactly the prices I got in Enugu, just less 100 naira in many tiles. The 120 x 60 is same price.

Dubemcapital just took measurements of the sitting room... Got 10 sqms less than what the tiler gave. God help me

LAGOS IS A GREAT STATE 1

In my line of work, I have been to Lagos many times, either to see a site location, to buy vehicles or building materials or to negotiate one deal or the other. I must say I have enjoyed my travels, but I enjoy Lagos on a very different level.

And so I found myself in Bariga in my quest to purchase something. I arrived Lagos the previous evening and spent the evening among rowdy brothers who all wanted me to stay in their own houses. After a lot of talk and laughter, I went home with a cousin brother who was supposed to take me to the market the next morning.

We took off in the morning, and we chose to ride in commercial buses. I found something intriguing, we entered up to 3 buses before we got to our final destination. Right from the first one, there were issues. Long lines of traffic meant that we were going very slow. LASTMA and road safety trying to enforce the laws as they understand.

The real drama started on the second bus, our driver tried to pull out of a bus stop without watching out for oncoming motor bikes from behind, and narrowly missed knocking down 3 men on a bike, the bike had to swerve at the last second to avoid a collision, then all hell broke loose.

The bike wavered a bit and stopped some distance in front of us, the bike driver dropped the bike, I mean, laid it flat on the middle of the road and what happened next surprised me. The 3 young men from the bike were racing towards our bus in full speed while screaming all forms of invectives, grabbed the driver by the throat and ready to beat him, the conductor was begging and speaking fluently.

To my shock, about eight other young men that were sitting in the bus stop before all rushed out and joined in the melee, everyone was shouting at the same time and the situation was very rowdy. Every window had a man speaking into the bus as if they were cursing the driver. What my guide told me was "put your phone in your pocket o" grin

After sometime, the matter calmed down after the driver begged them.

I was still wondering about all these in the 3rd bus when we ran into the touts along the road, they were about 6 of them waiting on a busy bus stop, 2 came to the driver and asked for payment, he told them he had paid. Without saying a word, they went to the back of the danfo and removed the back boot cover, (that section where the rear glass is) and carried it into the bus stop and waited. Our journey had to stop again for another round of shouting and settlement. After about 5 minutes, they paid and drove off with their back cover replaced.

Innocent me, I even thought that was the end, I was totally wrong. About 10 meters up the road, some stern looking policemen stood in front of the bus and asked the driver why he stopped 10 metres back there, the drivers explanation about the agberos didn't work, he was pushed into the passenger seat while a policeman entered the drivers seat and commandeered the bus away, on their way to the police station.

Just like that? grin

We had to beg to be let off to alight from the bus, and that was how we joined the 4th bus to where we were going.

I was left speechless. None of these 3 incidents would have happened in Enugu. But it's a different location with a different rule. I don't know if I can ever live in Lagos, I told my brother grin
