There is mantra in Igboland known as Aku ruo ulo. Any true rich Igbo that does not build a well befitting house in his village is considered an “efulefu” .
Are these people not successful in all standards?
From Peter Obi, Obi Cubana, E money, Orji Uzo, Hope Uzodima, Emmenike, Jowe Zaza, Fkavor, kanayo o Kanayo, Dr Godwin M,
Check the internet for pictures of their houses.?

It is a tradition. One that should be encouraged. Let some of the wealth come home.

Hummmm, it is well. Kwara people do the same not with the same meaning though, years ago I was in kwara, I saw this edifice I thought it was a government building when I made enquiries I'm told is one industrialist business man house. After he pass his children are living abroad, they try to donate it to local government to used it as their secretary, they rejected it due to fear of maintenance bill, the garden alone has 7 people working full time on it lawn. The place is a town on its own, maybe one university will pick it to better use as campus that is the only thing I thought it can be used for in my opinion.

As from 50k but if the site is rugged this can run into the 100k mark.

Good morning I need recommendation for professional casters for my build. I’m currently in the Decking stage and I need to get the cost. And I would also love to know from professionals here how much the size of this would cost. Below is the size of the floor

Akala . We have come thus far

I like what I see here
Clean straight lines

What’s the beam (pillar to pillar) span?

This have proven to be cheaper at construction stage (if done well, you won’t have issues)

But if not handled by folks with experience or professionals, maintenance overtime makes it more expensive

I will share some of my personal considerations when planning/constructing hidden roof later.

—————

Here are other cheap common type if you don’t want pitch or gable roof.

I need help on quantity/size of iron rod to be used for casting concrete tank stand.

Also, how many bags of cement can be used for the casting the pillars, beam, set blocks to cover the side, and including plastering.

Note: Height is 18ft, the four sides and the top would be concrete cast like the one below, but all opening would be covered with 9'inches block so it can serve as generator house.

The cost of maintenance is high, especially the parapet walls will be heavily affected by weather.
Do a monopitch with eaves of 600mm that way you are reducing cost as well as offering protection to your external walls.

Cultures have their distinct ways and values. In Igbo land, ones compound (Obi) is his heritage and that makes it a valued sacred treasure. Most cannot be bought with any amount of money, The thought of even giving it out is insane.

that's why the birth of a male child in Igbo can not be overemphasized.

We can sound "woke" and all about all children being blessing. But an average Igbo man will always want a male child else his sweat goes to the closest family member

Unpopular opinion (?):

These unhealthy rivalries, ego drives and need to show off are some of the major causes of the current state of our morals as a nation and it is not restricted to the people of the SE alone. I can’t speak for the north because I don’t know enough northerners to make a judgment but these mindsets permeate the whole of southern Nigeria from the Yorubas of the SW, all across our country’s southern regions. Please note the use of the word “average “ in my write up below, I’d hate to see any hasty responses that ignored that qualifier.

These “ideologies “ are one of the reasons overseas prisons, from Asia to Europe to the USA are flooded with Kayodes, Nosas, Emekas and all manner of southerners. The journey to riches at all costs with no boundaries. The average southerner desires wealth , first and foremost to prove that they have arrived. Personal utility/benefit of the riches is secondary. Part of human development is mental development. I’m old fashioned myself in a lot of ways but when it comes to finance, I allow little room for sentiments. Speaking to the SE aspirations already mentioned by several people, it’s interesting that we have a number of Igbo friends, professionals with good jobs, great incomes with the financial resources to build mansions in the village yet have no desire to do such but are content with donating money to fund infrastructure that benefit the villagers. I will admit the ones we are close with were largely born and bred in Lagos so maybe that’s the difference in thinking. It’s easier to embrace certain ideologies in adulthood if they were already instilled from birth if you were born in the region. You more or less grow up with people with the same mindsets and rub minds with them. Similar to the SW asoebi, owambe crew for whom life is “party after party.” If your social circle is filled with people of a certain mindset, chances are high that you would mirror their thinking and aspirations.

In the old days, it was possible to achieve certain inspirations without crime but in Naija of 2022 with an economy that is all but comatose at this point, a person would still be panting and sweating to build white elephant projects in a village of 1500 people or less while some other southerners just want the money so that they can throw multi million naira parties with KWAM1 and Sunny Ade on stage as they celebrate 10th, 20th, 50th death anniversaries of loved ones or so they can buy an AMG G63 they are not capable of maintaining or make it rain dorime at the clubs so they can be hailed. Is it any wonder our morals as a country is in the pits when we have high end desires that cannot be supported with economic realities? Realistically, what are the chances of the average person in these groups, in Nigeria, being able to achieve such misplaced priorities through honest labor with zero criminal acts? Again, I say average. I know there is a very tiny minority that is capable of achieving without resorting to crime.

Abroad, even if they are not into crime, they are leveraged (in debt) to their eyeballs. Credit cards are maxed out, multiple loans are being serviced, little or no savings compared to incomes earned. They even patronize pay day loan lenders that charge astronomical rates because they are living pay cheque to pay cheque. With a take home pay of USD10k or more after deductions, some cannot save USD1k a month and I’m not exaggerating. It’s called “doing pass yasef.” You no fit drink water drop cup. For some, that is all on top of working 2/3 jobs to make ends meet and complete the village white elephant project back home or fund the next owambe at Eko Hotels. Even in the abroad, they are the “house poor “ Nigerians with the biggest houses that are mortgaged to the hilt, occasionally even unable to make mortgage payments. Cars nko? Multiple leased luxury vehicles to keep up with the appearance of wealth even as they are voracious consumers of luxury brand knockoffs because they cannot afford the real thing but want to keep up appearances.

At Naija parties, they are the braggarts, always ready to make grandiose announcements that may not even be rooted in fact. Picture people like N3xt. With no prompting, they announce all these assets that they own, all these projects they are funding but they won’t say pim about their debts. Ladies and gentlemen, the koko is the net worth (assets-liabilities). That is the real wealth if you are looking to measure. Some of these people have declared personal bankruptcy one or more times in the US because their debt load became uncontrollable but their people in Naija have no idea.

I’m going to touch on the swimming pool idea that has become so popular now with detached homes. I can understand pools in apartment buildings that have the population and hopefully traffic and maintenance funds (service fees) to keep them viable but these tiny, soak away sized “swimming pools “ in detached homes are the ones that baffle. Note, I’m not talking about the ones you find in homes that have plenty land to accommodate beta pools. If you cannot afford enough land to accommodate the house and a proper-sized pool, why must you build a pool that is going to end up breeding mosquitoes and drowning lizards? To start with, it takes money to maintain those pools and that is on top of the house’s maintenance. Half the time, these pools are not even built to international standards but we like to copy international ideas. The average Nigerian’s idea of relaxing has nothing to do with wearing swimming trunks or being in a pool. It’s strictly isiewu/peppered snails/nkwobi/small chops, etc with alcohol but we build a pool as a status symbol even if it ends up in disrepair within a few months.

Most people are not learning from what is happening to some families. Go to Lekki, Ikoyi and some high brow areas in Nigeria, only the aged-parents are staying in the massive duplexes. All the children and grand children are abroad. I have also noticed that most middle class and rich Nigerians are not even preparing their children for a life in Nigeria. They are preparing them for life abroad.

I already re-plannd and repurposed my current build for eventual conversion to self-contain and mini-flat and get myself a decent two bedroom bungalow, but with enough compound. I love big compounds more than big houses.

I fell into same situation too when I built my 7 bedrooms ensuite duplex. All my children and grand-children are born abroad, although I have introduced them to Nigeria life but I still dont see them coming to live in Nigeria with all these happenings. But I have learnt from my mistake o; all other builds are not this big anymore. God help us.

@EgunMogaji.... with my Igbo roots, I like big "Obi" o.

This! It doesn't matter how big our house is, the probability of our kids ever living in such houses after university graduation is very very very very low.

I saw a tweet on twitter and this is the content "don't go to your father's house after university, if you can't afford your room, squat with your friend"

What will happen to the 4 bedrooms ensuite? What will happen to the two living rooms??
What will happen after death? Definitely, the kids would have built their own bigger house.

The house Grandfather left is in ruins, everybody left after his death.

here's the thing. We're Igbo people. Our children will always return home and will try to outbuild us. I have been to many people homes from this thread, you will put a respect to their name.

If I get money today, I will build a modest bungalow for old age but you see MANSION, I must build it. It can waste after I die for all I care. But I must have it to my name. You see red cap and chieftaincy title,it must be added to my name. Have you listened to any osadebe or Oliver decoque? Someone is called

"Mkpuogiriga 1 na umuoji". This person can't stand up in his community and you make noise. At the end of it all,all these are the reason we work hard to make money. Many people have enough money to live modestly till they die but they went that extra mile to become wealthy. It might sound vain but then, everything else in life is vain
