Yarimo freestuffsng show us your country home ?

Kanwulia:
By March, 2025 . . . I had become much wiser.
I NEVER DO FULL CONTRACTS.❌
I buy my materials and pay for labor costs only.✅

Boy! They hated me for that.😂

I started by paying attention to details. I educated myself about units of measurements. I could tell the difference between “a trip of sand” and “a ton of sand”.✅

I could tell the difference between sharp sand, laterite, plaster sand and river sand.✅

I could understand the difference between 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and 1 inch granite stone.✅

I was catching on fast.✅

Once you learn this, artisans go hate you.
It is the best thing you can do for yourself in any building/renovation project.

Even solar, read about it. Buy your materials from a licensed store. Then call installer. All this bring 2.5m, I will give you solar that can carry life support and sumo, na nonsense.

All these for a house you will only visit once in three years? 🤔

That's his business, not yours.

Kanwulia:
I came up with a plan.
I had to pay my siblings N20m to give me the property.👍🏽 I did not want any wahala in the future amongst us. We came to an agreement. Now, the property is solely mine.✅

This one na story, you just used your money to do bazaar for them.

In Igboland one sibling cannot claim sole ownership of family house that was built on ancestral land in the village!⁰

How I went from this home that was built in 2000.

I wonder why Nigerians abroad always swear to never return. If you don’t live in an American state located in the south, cold must pursue you back. The time overseas tires people is in old age when children are already adults with no idea of their fatherland. That is when regret sets in. Many use their pensions to build Nigerian mansions set for their return. It’s best to build the abode while strong just in case.

what exactly will you be doing living in a village that lacks basic amenities and infrastructure at old age?.

Search for this story on TikTok. Her father went back to the village and was neglected/almost dead

na so .when I been dey enter Lagos just 3 months ago, one guy inside the car was so angry he traveled down far north thinking he could make a million from the contract by inflating prices of what he will be using.
To his surprise the owner of the project was way smarter than they thought, na so guyman buy all em materials and it was just payment for workmanship he was giving them.he was so angry inside the vehicle on top what was not rightfully his.i just dey shake head.

Kanwulia:
Problem 1. Property abandoned by siblings.
Problem 2. What do I do with the grave?
Problem 3. Who will be on ground to supervise the project on my behalf?

Good evening sir...
I'm civil engineer, I base in Kogi State. And I can help you supervise the project.
If you wouldn't mind sir

Kanwulia:
To this newly renovated peaceful environment in z2025. I am still renovating and looking forward to putting up another story building in the compound because the compound is soooooo huge.😍

What is the purpose of doing this, since you swore never to live or stay in Nigeria? Are you doing this for charity?

You really believe say she go give you a complete stranger the contract to come supervise all the way from Kogi? Wetin be this?

What you did is a very good venture, however if I were you I won't even dare try it, because you have just created yourself an enemy amongst your siblings in 10 to 15 years to come, if the Lord tarries.

Lol @ give you solar that can carry life support... You no well... Lol

The question is, will the stress worth it at the end of the day? What happens to the house after you die? Will one of your children also buy and renovate it too? I would have preferred all of you sold the house and share the money.

Are the village people fine with you? Are you fine with them?

The problem with this village homes is that, when people are not active inside a house, it starts to deteriorate.

I don’t know the law or explanation about it. But leave a house for one year and things just falling apart automatically.

Kanwulia:
While I was trying to evict the tenants, my team of supervisors(my brother and cousin living in Nigeria) started to work on the reconstructing the fence. No borehole, but we had a well to get water from. Also, our neighbor across the street had a borehole. I we did not have water, we bought a hose to get water from across the street to mix sand and cement.

If you have tenants that means the house is not in the village but in a small town, right?

Why have we allowed ourselves to be so focused on roads and bridges as democracy dividends, that our state governments no longer employ workers to make water available to all buildings?

What then is the point of saying we are modern people living in the 21st century, when we are clearly not

Don't blame him. Everybody dey try hustle ni. He just tried his luck. No harm in trying you know

How?
Can you dive deeper pls.

Sell your only ancestral house/land!
Christ!

So how will now identify yourself!

Is it in the city you want to live your whole life!

Ile tí a fi tọ ọmọ, ìrì ní o má wo.

It must have something to do with the air breathing when the house is lived in, among other things.

You have done extra well and great deeds Sista Kanwulia. May you enjoy numerous blessings going forward in this life.

Wotowotoman:

..who will be living in the house.
Unless he rents it out for a tenant to live there

Kanwulia:
Your experiences? I have gone through safia pains.
Nigerian contractors are HIGHLY CRIMINAL!😱

For this part, I'm laughing in Swahili. Okay na. Feathers will fly.

IF YOUR VILLAGE PEOPLE YOU NAO DEAL WITH YOU; YOU GO COME HERE DEY DISTURB US.

How can you do this heavy nice project without digging a proper borehole? It wouldn't cost more than 2M.

Relying on well water, as in well water? in this age and time to water the building is mind boggling to me oo.

Please kindly dig a proper borehole for your peace of mind.
Congrats.

Kanwulia:
Fixing plumbing issues.
I had to change all the old pipes for the tanks and buy “sumo pump” for pumping water from the well. I also had to dig up the well to get the water to flow consistently.

•Welding the well cover so we keep the sumo pump safe.
• Bought generator to ensure electricity
•Miscellaneous items - freezer, blender, stabilizer.


ALWAYS ASK FOR RECEIPTS AND PROOF OF TRANSFERS FOR ALL PURCHASES.✅
