Here are some pictures from my first visit to Lowes yesterday, Similar set up with Home Depot. A one stop shop for everything building/construction/renovations.
I saw the woods at the lumber section, my wife was asking me why the woods ain’t smelling like the iso-pako(sawmill) in Nigeria cheesy

What you’re looking at is why my kitchen is yet to be finished. When you’re used to a certain standard then mediocrity is a killer.

This is almost like my kitchen. But mine is of a higher quality.
The difference is on details of the cabinet (forget chrome drawer handles) . This particular cabinet does not have individually framed doors. Also like what they do in Nigeria now, cut and join work. Less carpentry work went into it.
Otherwise, it’s a nice piece.
Not from the auctions or used please.

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.
But Maama, I really do not understand this write up o, let's try and maintain peace.

You really came out at Sonnie with full force like you've been waiting for him for a while.

This is a faceless forum, this is the few places left where people can join conversations, share private things without the fear of people linking such to them. (security reason)

And let's respect people's views on things, NORMS fo someone might be LUXURY TO OTHERS, outside naira land, I hardly join conversations because no matter how I tweak my conversations, it will come out as if I am bragging, but is it?

You talked about where you eat, I replied with where I normally eat it. They see it as bragging
You talked about the kind of footwear you wear, I unconsciously said my cheapest slide is 20k.

I've come to the realization that what is normal to some people is LUXURY to others.

Shay yourself don see wetin I dey talk. Construction no be rocket science. Na learnable and acquirable science. Make tradespeople in Nigeria cool down learn work reach ground and constantly invest in their business. If nothing, buy the tools of the trade. Na only in Nigeria you go see a builder/engineer with many years in the trade, one single tool, them no get. Even spirit level kpakpa sef na gold durst.

I'm sure you noticed how things are simplified, standardized, price display ( no send me Whatsapp chat to know price). Hope you also noticed there's a tool for every task, ALL timber are cut straight both premium timber and pure water. ALL straight. How is the ability to cut timber straight is a rocket science in Nigeria. I just can't get it.

In some building merchant, there's is a free cutting service or pay a token, they will cut your timber for you to the size you want STRAIGHT.

Look well, you fit jam sales and offer. Use the opportunity to begin buy tools. With the right tools, you will be amazed how simple these things are.

I know way too much about designer handbags but I choose not to attack a fellow female’s choice of bag so I won’t reveal the 411 on that “limited edition” piece. It’s embarrassing enough to have your husband come online to show off a piece any luxury connoisseur could destroy in a minute.

Comprehension is not hard biko nu!
Even with their digging deep, they still cannot point to a place where I promised to send bike to next.
Next was using style to coerce me into agreeing to what I did not plan to do, myself used style to calm him down.
That is all that happened in that exchange.
But #Iyaareascatter can never gerrit.

By the way, I sight my Ralph Lauren bed side Mat ( $1050 last) in the picture she posted. One of my bounties from the auctions.

“Might throw in a bike” is a promise? Ok now.
For me, “might throw in a bike” is not a promise.
A promise is something like , “I will throw in a bike”
These two statements are very different.

My boys in Nigeria started going to Dubai as far back as 2003.
The English people that came up with the word “might” knew that It is meant to be used when you don’t want to make a promise.
But because it’s me using it to discharge Next, #Iyaareascatter would insist that is Promissory note.

You can object civilly... Nothing might change now but next time, they will reason small before such act happens. I was once closed off my street to build Culvert. They did not leave alternative entrance, everybody were crying in silence. The Nigerian stubbornness and the American bravery made me to raise an objection. They had to apologize and promise to do better next time. Change must start somewhere!

About the learning, unlearning and relearning, if one cannot afford trade school because of time constraints or even money constraints, then there is YouTube, why some of these workmen don't tap into that resource is what I cannot get.

I think we also have a culture here that those kinds of activities are for the lowly placed in society.

It is not evidence of being a big man to understand how things work or even worse get dirty and fix it if it is broken. You should have the money to hire someone to do it for you.

Unlike in America that have a very active handyman culture and even normal guys tinker with their cars, they don't leave it up to workmen only.

So it maybe cultural also.
