If you think someone that said his household income falls in an average of 100k per year is buying 18k carpets and 12k sofa sets and 8k guest room bed frame - sorry nna/nne but you deserve to be duped. There is a class of people who can afford such without breaking a sweat but they are the class that will not come to Nland to shout it out. For the ones being peppered, understand that a lot of people will do anything to impress the gullible. Used furniture costs a very small fraction of brand new and a lot of Nigerians patronize the auctions for furniture, just like they do for vehicles. A lot of these furniture auctions have merchandise from the estate of deceased, wealthy Americans whose inheritors are trying to dispose of very high quality house furnishings so you can buy very nice pieces at a small fraction of the cost. It is a fact that some Nigerians only ever buy big ticket items at auctions because they believe that’s the best value for their money. For those that want things they can’t afford brand new, these auctions are a treasure trove. For things they like but can’t afford, you have instalment payments or the deferred payment arrangements with stores for almost everything in the household, from electronics to furnishings. Heck, even brand new clothing and shoes have layaway arrangements so that you don’t have to pay all at once. Nothing wrong with auctions or instalment payments if that’s how you roll but the unending deceit? The constant need to pretend to be what you aren’t in the name of pepper them? The outright lies and misrepresentation? The constant need for validation from people who could not care less? #mazialltalk These braggarts are a dime a dozen, I already gave the 411 about them. Stay woke! Don’t allow anybody pepper you. I get dis, na me do am, na we dey dere, the truth is in the net worth, the credit reports. . . . . . . . But sha, somebody should remind me when he opens his village house because he has promised to dash out the latest iPhone as souvenirs. My phone is already 4 years old, I await the awoof. 18 Likes |

LOL and where did Mmotimo mention jacuzzi or when did bed frame become bedsheet set? Almost every home in the US has a jacuzzi so what’s so special about that . With that said, bedsheets sef get instalmental payment and are auctioned off in estate sales. And the games begin, deliberate misrepresentation of clear sentences to create a narrative that they can now focus on attacking so that gullible minds forget how to read and comprehend my original post. Anyone interested in auctions can cop good pieces, I already outlined that, it’s pretending you paid $18k for a carpet or $12k for a love seat for me. Fabu unlimited, awon ti N3xt. No be today, shior! The issue is not having stuff, it’s misrepresenting the acquisition, I’ll re-emphasize that because that’s what you’re trying to mask as you set about a rebuttal that is not even addressing what I wrote. The issue is not having stuff, it’s misrepresenting the acquisition. Anyway, don’t forget the imaginary motorbikeS you promised N3xt to the hearing of all on this site. Dude’s got plenty of time on his hands to cross-country biking. It’s 2022, let us see #mazitalkanddo not #mazialltalk 7 Likes |

seunpinky: My visit to a Californian Home Depot in November. I immediately understood why I haven’t been productive in Nigeria as much as I used to be back here. Lack of adequate raw materials. You’ll create good minimalist furnitures if you can start with this. Even shopping for trees is a pleasure. 3 Likes

EgunMogaji2: Lack of straight cut wood at prices that will not break the bank is why MDF and HDF are so popular here. The lack of investment and the lack of standardization is what makes Nigeria backwards, haven't been to South Africa, but I have a feeling they don't have this problem. 2 Likes |

LOL It’s Balmain not Belman. As per pics below, authentic Balmain bags are also very much available in the second hand market place for a fraction of the cost.. . . .assuming purchaser is buying an authentic one. I daresay there’s a bigger market for fakes hahaha Can the real #mazitalkanddo please stand up? 2 Likes

FEGEITOK: And this issue is getting compounded. I’ve been furniture shopping and I’ve had the opportunity to show my partner, a child of the 90’s, the difference between HDF/MDF based furniture and real wood furnitures. She was unaware and I wager that most Nigerians are unaware. Even non MDF wood used in making all those puffy babalawo style sofas are rough and have no professional look. Hence why they’ll lather it up with pleather. |

EgunMogaji2: Please go back to that exchange. He wanted to force that promise on me and I gave him the response he deserved.

sonnie10: God bless you Sir, that's exactly my point. Lots of photos, links, videos of live projects done that I can share which are hand crafted n top notch but how many of our people here can afford to pay the premium. Yes those that will pay will do and they don't make noise n rant here all time. We are ready to pay the premium abroad but can't here when we get down. Someone said earlier that nairaland is bad for business, no not nairaland but some c*ckhead baby adult on the property section here makes it seem so once you don't align with their School of thought. We must demand for the best as there is no excuse for any artisan to collect someone's hard earned money and throw it down the drain but it's wrong to conclude there are no credible and top notch service provider that can compete with foreigners if you have been dealing with the bad ones so far. The individual should check him/herself to know what might be the factors getting him attracted to the wrong artisans. I cum in peace 5 Likes |

sonnie10:Kano. The dream is too big for them, they merely want to sell immediately and make cool money. The man even showed me a size enough to make a pair of shoes, he said 500naira. The foreigners are seeing the untapped resources in Nigeria, the reason why they are coming in droves to set up companies in Nigeria, we can't blame ourselves sha because we have limited exposure on how to process things. Why I low key fault those that have traveled and stayed for years over there, look at those things the whites are doing easily that we are still struggling with, come back and recreate it, you will make easy millions. That is what PEAK did, peak used to import dairy milk for their milk production in Nigeria until they discovered that the Fulanis sell a liter for less than 500naira, guess what they did? They set up collection centers in various Fulani settlements, sensitize them on how to collect clean milk, and even helped them to plant pastures so their cattle won't have to graze long distances to feed. The collection centers are now buying milk for 2k to 3k per liter daily from the Fulanis, win-win. Fulanis Earns more without hawking THOUSANDS of miles just to earn 500naira Peak milk also gets cheaper raw milk right in Nigeria. We have many untapped resources in Nigeria, hardship no too make us see them 2 Likes |

It’s not me that would teach a woman about handbags. If she can’t tell the difference between exclusive limited edition and others, then I give up. Again, I repeat that Balmain (the correct name on the picture, my bad) is $5000 last. Not available in any auction or even online. I am surprised she doesn’t know these things. That the image she uploaded are totes, shopping bags, clutches and small size handbags which are usually cheaper for most women bags. How could someone even try to compare Full leather Balmain that has leather emboldened logo to those made with the likes of fabric and synthetic materials. It just speaks ignorance of the subject matter. 1 Like |
