Absolutely yes. Insects.

I would say soligum but fess less wait for Oga N3xt, maybe na monkey carcass we go hang for rafters

Na joke o

Baba the problem is called “dry rot” in building maintenance work and there is solution to that,
Soligum can’t cure it

bobkezel:

People have actually used the dog burying method and are testifying.
It's better to be more concerned about the (scientific or otherwise) explanation than being making fun of it.

People have actually harvested young virgins private parts and organs for money rituals and testifying. Should I also be concerned about the scientific method?

In Calabar, people have sacrificed new born twins to ward off evil spirits and testifying. Scientific method?

People have harvested hunchback organs for whatever reasons and testifying. Scientific reasons?

People have mutilated new born babies and call them Abiku; Ogbanje.

Voodoo in any form and practice is a primitive and backward practice that stands science on its head.

If you believe animal sacrifice ward off termites, you will believe anything!!!

Did you see my last post? Clean, fresh and neat wood installed 10 years ago.

No be my wood termite dey chop and I’m not selling solution.

I don’t worry too much preferring solutions. Just do what work for you.

My opinion (culled from my experience)

-MOST TREES are not straight.

It's not a lack of equipment that's the problem.
It's also not a local of skill.

It's mostly about profit maximisation and waste minimization. I'll try to explain.

Firstly, from the bush where its cut, loggers sell in logs. Then the guys that saw (lets call them "Sawers" it into 2x12 planks are next.

Remember, most trees aren't straight.
So these guys follow the warpness of the natural wood to cut into planks because if they go straight, instead of getting maybe 6 planks, they get 3 or 4.

That's bad for biz.

If you buy a 2x12 wood from the mill, you're expected to produce at least 5 to 6 numbers of 2x2.

If you want to cut perfectly straight, you'd probably get 3 or 4 numbers of 2x2 which increases your cost.

So it is the Nigerian factor then. But that theory that the trees are not straight does not hold water. That same crooked tree will be exported to China or Germany and it will be cut perfectly straight to size.

There is something about us as a people. We're largely not thorough, diligent and regards best practice as too much work. Short cut and quick money is ingrained in most of us.

This is so wrong though.

Would sawmillers sell crooked and substandard woods if some people are not buying them?

Well we are different though. I knew what I want and I paid the price.

Meanwhile there’s Julius Berger AFP for those who want best of naija woods

This posts reminds me of when my dad used to be a contractor with JB and Costain. He was supplying them with woods, I would hear him begging his guys to ensure they follow the exact specifications on the job order... Sometimes the woods are rejected during delivery whenever the QC spots any inconsistency. However, these companies paid premium price for the quality they desire.

Talking about wood, furnitures, interior design and the likes, a gap is about to be bridged as university of Ibadan now offer masters degree program on that.

Nice information �pls what does SEC stand for

Spacial enhancement charges

kopell:
Thank for the information. I can’t imagine how much they are charging for 2 floors duplex building in Lekki Ajah areas at present. I hope you don’t take my questions as attack. I appreciate your gentleman response, we’re here to educate ourselves and share ideas of making homes buildings cheaper as possible without compromising rules and quality. Thank you once again.

It seems SEC is fixed across Lagos state.
And it is charged on floor to floor base

flexyonline:

I know folks who got 6million assessment for plan approval for duplex at the beginning of August. The advice is to wait it out that LASG will soon review downwards

Goodnews / latest update

Sec has been reviewed downward to 150k a floor. Then 50k as the floor increases.
Effective yesterday.

Just past week i paid 500k

You get the gist already.

How can you enter jankara market and be looking for premium service? And still end up rubbing it on all Nigerians?

Local man just cannot can

But I’m sure there’s a method to this madness.

I don’t agree with you sha.

Any market that I enter in Los Angeles, be it Home Depot, Lowe’s, Orchards I’m guaranteed great lumber.

I shouldn’t have to go to a specialty store to get what should be normal.

This excuse is played out. Bring us quality, we’ll pay for it.

Firms like Shell, Chevron, Julius Berger, Cappa d' Alberto are premium companies. They pay premium bucks for supplies.

The ability to cut a wood straight is not a premium phenomenon if you are not Nigerian. It is the norm and simple practice.

some people from this country will go to china.. and ask them to produce low quality items. for example phone chargers and all, sometime we are the cause of our own problem.. and we have a non functional SON

I finally understood why people buy Tokunbo instead of new stuff in Nigeria. Everything is upside down.

First photo: iso Pako Sheffield UK.

Second photo: iso Pako South Africa. South Africa that we think we are better than o.

Can you see how straight and to size the cuts are? Only in Nigeria will you pass a straight cut wood as premium. In "ordinary" South Africa it is the norm.

There's truly something about us as a Nation.

No doubt Amode did a lot of good stuff.
But he Messed Up with the Waste Management stuff.

He was trying to erase some things his Predecessor (Fashola) did, he wanted to create his own & have his name to it.
