think about it. Paying 55,000 for that when a sumec firman generator is just 70,000 and can power a house and more appliances.

Right now, the maths and economics doesn't work for the alternatives

But the sumec generator will require expensive petrol hence additional spending while the solar lamp will not require any other spending

Here’s a way I avoid confusion. Because I can easily visualize what the finished outcome of my projects will look like, I always work with tiles catalogues/3D rendition of my projects and go for matching tiles or something close in the market.

Picking some interesting piece at Impacto

Can send you the tile catalogue for cdk

I try to avoid confusion by deferring to my architect or madam . Took both along grin grin , eventually zeroed in on 2 tiles

But Want to see what options are also available in the imported segment before I decide hence my soon proposed visit to orile / importers , price differential of the cdk I like to imported Spanish is not much
Might also be buying for 2 projects so it pays to check as many options quickly before buying

The biggest loser in all of this is micgray100 because he’s doing a business that rely solely on referral and all that transpired today will give him a negative rating.

People fit no talk am but me go talk am and nothing go happen. No be today dem dey abuse people like us.

@Greenarrow01 don’t make mistake of asking me for reference o because I won’t be there to take liabilities whether vicarious or precarious.

The biggest winner is the borehole guy. According to micgray100, the guy is going about doing his business and posting them on his Whatsapp status while we are expending negative energies here.

Biggest lesson in all of this is “Sùúrù lérè” literally meaning Patience can be very rewarding.

One minute madness can ruin a lifetime investment.

I hope you’re learning as I’m doing here.

He keeps telling me next week anytime I asked for update.. He gave me of job of registration of Limited Liability Company to cool my temper.. 65k... I did the job and delivered to him.. I still went on to beg him that all I want is for him to deliver mine too...

All of a sudden.. He just told me he will refund 50k out of 150k last week..

So many options / designs . I think they have a reputation in the market for quality . This was confirmed by the guy I buy Spanish tiles from and a major importer . Prices were steep for the high traffic tiles We wanted , a bit more expensive than the equivalent vitrified full body royal tiles I was also considering

They Also do sanitary wares

Have you considered Marble for the high traffic areas?
I'll be using it for flooring for the first time this year..

CDk should be up to 6,000 per sqm now and marble should be about 8500 to 9,000 per sqm.

There can never be too much of patience. Elder Spyder880 already set the path to clear these issh, I think you should have just chill out and watch how things unfold.

Now all my billionaire uncles don vex finish... we will now be doing damage control.

When issues happen on site, so far people don’t die, always learn to give it some time.

Take it off your mind for a while and watch things fall into place.

To say you still chop twinskenny’s N65k few weeks ago shows you have a good heart if you learn to control it in temporary moment of madness like this one.

That he committed such amount into your hand despite the issue both of you are having shows that he has respect and trust for you.

One thing I’d never do is to allow my emotion becloud my reasoning.

If you remember what I said when this issue was raised. I said “Do you want to be right? Or you want your job to be completed?”
From all indications your action is shifting towards the former than the latter even though your main goal is to get the job out of the way.

I know some of my peep here who have been in one issue or other like this would understand why you acted the way you did. It’s normal to get mad but don’t stay mad.

Sh*t happens.

LASEPA GOES TOUGH ON IRON, STEEL MANUFACTURERS*

*… Issues "Stop Work" Order To Manufacturers in Ikorodu*

The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency, LASEPA, has issued a "stop-work" order to two Steel and Iron manufacturing companies in Ikorodu, Sun Flag and Top Steel, for contravening safety rules and permissible environmental standards.

The General Manager, Dr. Adedolapo Fasawe, who led the enforcement team to the two companies, decried the squalid and unsafe working conditions, as workers were observed conducting their duties with minimal risk control to staff and surrounding communities.

She described the situation at the facilities as “grave”, citing the negative effects to the immediate and long-term wellbeing of those working and living in the area, especially the children, elderly and infirm, who are most affected by the gross misuse of the shared environment.

While decrying inherent risk of explosions, fires and other public safety concerns owing to the poor situation of the environment, the General Manager revealed that the visit to the factories was in response to complaints received from residents, environmental monitoring data and the outcome of surveillance conducted by LASEPA three days prior to the official visit.

Her words: “The visit revealed that most of the activities going on in the Ikorodu industrial area do not comply with Lagos State environmental standards, as well as international best practices vis-à-vis industrial waste management and circularity. As a government, we will continue to do everything within our power to ensure that the quality of air is permissible and that the land, soil, flora and fauna are not negatively impacted by industrial activities”.

“Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu led administration in Lagos State encourages recycling but not at the expense of the people's lives and the environment. A lot of the machines being used here at the two companies for recycling are archaic, poorly maintained, not fit for purpose under current and future environmental standards. This is because they release large quantities of noxious gases, fumes and other hazardous substances which are a direct result of prioritising profit over the planet and people”, the LASEPA boss noted.

Speaking further, the General Manager revealed that the State Government, in partnership with the World Bank, has sited six pilot Air Quality Monitoring Stations located in Akoka, Jakara-Island, Ipaja, Ikeja, Lekki and Ikorodu, to track all vital air quality indices as well as provide data on distribution and flow of pollution events from source to receptors.

Fasawe said all the sealed up plants must provide an environmental action and clean-up plan, a detailed environmental management policy document, and normalise all necessary regulatory documents and taxes before being considered for reopening.

Mr. Pankaj Mutreja the General Manager, Sunflag Steel Nigeria Ltd and Mr. Adilya Pathalk of Top Steel Company both agreed to comply with all environmental laws of the State and curb environmentally damaging activities.

Ikorodu residents commended the Agency’s visit, calling for quick intervention and remediation directed towards restoring the natural state of the currently affected areas including Odo-Nla and Odo-Kekere areas.

You spoke my mind!!! He's putting too much energy in mauling kenny than in getting d job done.... Kenny said he did not get a dime from d project, for christ sake BELIEVE HIM, and focus on getting d job done....if you find out otherwise, then you can expose him, but get the job done first! That should be your number one priority....Do you know what micgray and kenny can achieved if they both cooperate and focus their energy and connection on getting d borehole guy to do what he has been paid for? I was pissed this afternoon because the borehole guy is chilling somewhere, why una dey disturb us here.. That is not how to solve a problem..

They’re in Ogun already. Ikorodu is an annex of Ogun state. Just 10 - 20 mins drive.

Moreso, there are more steel manufacturers at the Ogun end than in Lagos end.
