How much is a bag of POP Cement currently please? And is it possible to buy and keep it for a few months


₦6,500
Yeah you can buy , if you have a store to keep it in, Put on a flat wood in your store, 2months is fine, avoid water/dampness/moisture , it could destroy it.

I was even thinking of buying from a big store and just collect receipt while they keep for me. Once I'm ready in about 2 months time I go and pickup.
Planning to do this for tiles too. Reason,

1. Rising cost of dollar will begin to reflect in the market prices soon

2. Make i chuck the small cash I have at hand into something before I spend it.

Does this make sense?

Are you chanced to make a survey somewhere around atan otta? Let me know sir.

Is it a land survey or a recon survey?

You will have to find a surveyor to do the former.

It’s called a Ribbed Slab, clay pot (red bricks) is also used as alternative
IF done well it’s safe.

Make sure you reach a concrete agreement with the big store, so they won't change their mind when you want to collect your Pop cement, some can be tricky.


Of course, it makes a lot of sense.✓

Some stores will not release the material if there is change in price. Just be very careful with whom you would be doing it with.
I bought 500 bags of cement fully paid at #3500 but time for collection, they insisted we add #500 on each, this was after 2 months.

Some won't mind like my seller... some times I leave a lot of cash with him in case... they might not want to do it for a one time customer

Its nice, It will reduce the weight on the entire structure unlike the usual normal concrete

I swear, this is exactly what I've been trying to do for months now, been looking for a reliable tile seller, none of them seems to agree to the terms.

I actually like how it looks. I'm also very sure it won't be as expensive as the all-concrete version.

Someone above said its as good as the all concrete version if done well.

Can one obtain a gun license in Lagos? What is required?

Sorry for the delay in responding.

This link might be of help https://www.nairaland.com/1185510/how-legally-buy-gun-nigeria

My post wasn't just advocating owning guns.

I was advocating that there are several decisions taken at the design stage that make the work of breaking and entry easy, and that the obtuse side of the argument is that several decisions can be taken at the design stage to make the work of breaking and entry more difficult, thus buying the homeowner time to rally defenses.

My post was addressing the issue that even at the design stage it is possible to incorporate security features into the build.

More often than not, security is an afterthought.

I know of a house that has a bunker that the homeowners can retreat to in the event of trouble while calling in reinforcements, that is an example of incorporating security at the design stage and not as a bolt on.

Three examples taken from another domain (the automotive industry) will help illustrate my point.

Example 1: Do you know why bulletproof cars do not have windows that be rolled down?


That is an example of actively sacrificing comfort for security. Building the house with security in mind, might involve making such trade-offs between ease of use on the one hand and increased security of the occupants on the other hand.

They are way too thick and way too heavy to be.

Example 2: Do you know why bulletproof cars have a special cage in from of the radiator?


Because the car can be immobilized by a bullet aimed at the radiator. So what was the point of all that enhanced security is a bullet to the radiator will compromise the security of the car?

Example 3: Do you know why bulletproof car doors are so heavy?


Because the normal door metal easily lets bullets in.

That said, just as bulletproof cars are more expensive, such a house will be more expensive to build.

But you can't have your cake and eat it, if you want more security, you have to spend on it.

One example that is relevant to the construction industry is a wall break detector. Why should you only know you have an intruder when he meets with you in your seating room or bedroom? When wall break detector technology exists? And many of those who have suffered this indignity can very well afford this technology?


I believe I have made my case.
