Lol. I am rolling on the floor despite feeling so sad and thinking of how to caution them legally and to stay clear from the land.

n3xt:


Do they really have respect for Baales?

I cannot forget what one omo onile said to a Baale during an encounter in one of my site few years back. He said “If not that there are no elderly people in the family, would someone like you become a Baale? I will slap you Brother Waheedi.”

On hearing this, I quickly succumb to their pressure and pay them their N2m jejely.

Great engineer in the house please what might be the cause of this cool

Please, take a better view of the structure let's see how it is. Is this a suspended slab or the ground slab? I know this happens with very large floor tiles like 600 * 600 if they are not well bonded

Is there really a cheaper way to do it? Other than going with a paint that won’t require screeding?

Instead of compromising on quality, I’d rather wait till I can afford it.

A lot of us don’t even know when we start to make compromises in our build.

I always feel for those doing finishes at this time. You guys are legend.

Its actually an Internet image. I shared a similar issue few months ago while working on a project at OPIC, Isheri Ogun state.
This usually occur in buildings having groundwater issues especially in a builds where foundations are built too low.
I wish I have the permission to share images from the OPIC project and the fix.

thought lagos state has banned their activities… if you don’t tame them now they will keep coming back.. a friend of mine used a military man to deal with them

Those guys are never ashamed though. They’ll still come back.

If it’s lekki, I’ll still say “Cool. Give them some money!” Those guys in ikorodu are something else.

Soldiers is what works in at least Elebu.

In fact any Omo Onile that comes to where they are unknowingly just volunteered himself as free labor.

In my opinion it’s best to settle reasonably if you intend to occupy the place. You won’t have soldiers for ever.

I'm friends with my local ones too. We became friends eventually.

They single handedly carried my SUV when it got stuck in a river by me. Insisted that my partner and I stayed in the car.

Every dog has it's day.

Until the government gets serious my advice will always be to settle reasonably. And as an American it goes against everything I believe in, but we're not in Kansas no more.

Yes ma'am. Most solar inverters are hybrid.
Update on the wind turbine as complementary source of power as promised: it's a big flop.
The blades doesn't move for most of the time and the voltage supplied is too low to charge the battery even though it's high up on the roof with no building higher than it.
Best to double the solar panels or the battery more than the normal specification than to opt for the wind system.
The wind would need to be very high to generate significant voltage to charge the battery.
Unless you’re living on the hill,mountain of you have a three storey building with the turbine placed on the roof, the turbine might not work.

States suitable for wind turbine: Middlebelt

There's one bungalow near me that has a small turbine that spins with all it's heart most times. Not even sure how it's happening except if it's some new age design fadangle that's high tech.

Sometimes I ride in to my house on my okada at 10PM (not advisable but occasional circumstances). I take joy that I haven't arrested anyone with soldier or police. Doesn't mean shyte still can't go down but I feel less threatened.

A tenant who was pounding food on decking started this in one of my flats. Then it moved to the next flat and we were told it could result also when there is not enough spacing for breathing of tiles.

Wisdom . Everything is not fight fight . Important also to settle the right set controlling the area

I do both , will show strength by inviting the forces to send a strong message at the very beginning , and will also settle them , most times during settlement the force will be there to witness grin , they come back for the occasional 20k/30k blessing money from the engineer at milestones . They even fight off rival groups after that . The koko Na make God bless person to overlook some of this Shina . It is what it is

My sentiments exactly. Ikorodu Omo onile are something else.

What I tend to do is when buying land i make sure to get in writing the schedule of omonile fees.

which one be hybrid.

I have spent as much as I intend to for now but I am investing some time on getting good knowledge on types of inverters, batteries, charge controllers and solar panels etc. I don't like being a novice so tay dem give me anything and I don't know if its good value or not. Its too much money to be handing over anyhow.

I was happy with the first phase ie inverter and batteries but not so with the next phase of solar panel and charge controller (looks like old model tokunbo 60 cell solar(he assures me that as a German product it is better than the Chinese version in the market )and quoted 110k charge controller but delivered one for 20k). It has been working okay with no problems but I want a different charge controller.

I did not know enough about them to venture to buy the materials and I have every intention of changing this soonest. I did have the benefit of seeing life for 6 months, with no problems, an installation done for a close relative.

I was impressed with his installers who come across as efficient and know what they are doing and this is extremely important to me.

With the benefit of hindsight I would spend more time finding out re materials such that I am more specific about the spec I want, and make sure I am comfortable with any recommendations.

Its a recommendation of a person i have never met , have only messaged on WhatsApp and phone, was told he is based in ibadan. who was recommended by my brother in law.

I’ve never had issues with omo onile in any of my projects especially those wherr I’m charged with the responsibility of handling for their matter.

I pay them what’s meant for them and do my thing.

One other thing that has worked for me over the year is I give them supplies to handle for me.

I never have to contend with supplier associations or pay illegal gate monies at al when omo oniles are handling my supplies.
Though I always work with the almost responsible one o.

But on occasion where I’m acting as a third party, any delay by omo onile is not my problem. I’ll give you time to settle yourself and resume when the coast is clear.

My principle is “Don’t die in their war.”

I had reason to go to Ikorodu last month so I took a local DPO as witness. Na me buy the land originally and transferred to sibling.

The Omonile madam kuku say I dey make her tummy turn as I day speak. Kukuma end the conversation cos I agreed with the owner say no yawa matter at least not now. One wants to size up the opposition too.

For now we are pursuing settlement.
