I love everything NEAT AND CLUTTER-FREE. I need lots of space. Nowhere would have given me all this luxury and economic advantages ANYWHERE in Nigeria.❌❌❌❌

The wardrobes and doors were restored and polished ALL OVER AGAIN because my brother did a lousy job. I knew I had to have a FEMALE in my team.😍

The quality of wood 30 years ago cannot be found in this day and age. So instead of replacing all doors and cabinets, I filled all cracks and re-polished all the wood. I was over-joyed with the results.💃🏽

TOTAL COST OF MATERIALS N200K
TOTAL COST OF LABOR N60K

Estimated total cost - N300K

Compared to how much I would have spent to pay for wood for the replacement of new doors and cabinets.

It feels like I have ALL NEW DOORS AND CABINETS.❤️❤️❤️

The hallways and stairs are spacious and clean.
My choice of tiles. SUPER POLISH 60X60 for sitting room, hallways and sit-out areas.

Old bathroom vs new bathroom.
I decided to only change the tiles on the floor only. The wall tiles were still beautiful and needed cleaning.

Old tiles vs new tiles.

Instead of removing old ceiling boards, I used Calcium/POP cement to fill the ceiling boards, screeded and painted for a simple, neater more modern look.

Renovations continue . . . .

Old storage shed pulled down to construct a brand new 2-bedroom bungalow.

Foundation laid with Mega prayers. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Lots of space inside the compound to store sand and mold blocks.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

My brother and cousin have been relieved of their duties. Goooood riddance! ✅ I have to go back and correct all the imperfections. This means spending twice the amount for the projects.

One thing I will never put up with in Nigeria is INCOMPETENCE.

I hired a man-wife team instead. So far, everything has run smoothly with minor issues.

This couple is GOD-SENT. I pray they never change.🙏🏾

That sane brother wey you praise like say na angel

Not an angel. Never stated he was. Like most men, he really has no taste or eye for fine details like MOST women have.

Please, welcome my new care-takers.

Mr. & Mrs James.❤️❤️❤️
Salary? N500K per month plus N50K MONTHLY allowance for transportation, data and fuel for generator.✅


Whenever I call, I don’t wanno here “no light”, or “no data”!✅

My brother and cousin can visit anytime, they have keys to the property. But, NO MORE SUPERVISION RESPONSIBILITIES, They cannot earn salary also. They can come as guests.🌹

Cool starlight PVC ceiling for the open car garage. We can also use this area for small party gatherings or set up buffet stands with food vendors.✅

For how long will you continue to pay them this salary? And if your brother and cousin can’t stay there, who go dey stay for the house after you have dumped all this money on the house? 🤔

My bank account go rest for 2 weeks o. All the 1,500 blocks molded must have 1 week to dry decently. I don taya for “broken blocks”.🙄

Remember I already have 3 tenants living in the compound paying almost N2million a year in total?✅
2) 3-bedroom apts
1) 2-bedroom apt and
1) 1 bedroom(gate house)

Another 2-bedroom apt is under construction.✅

The main building upstairs has FIVE bedrooms with SIX full bathrooms.✅

Total room capacity = SIXTEEN, all with private bathrooms.😍 Will evict all the tenants soon and open up for weddings and burials reservations only.✅

I’d rather spend my money while alive. I am not leaving ONE RED CENT for nobarry!😎


I will continue to pay that salary as long as the couple works for me. I am not doing that nasty, ADPC “minimum wage” shyte!🍷 We will start an Airbnb business soon, and they will manage it.✅


I have written my will and handed to the family attorney and all my siblings. The house will be sold to the highest bidder and all proceeds shared equally amongst ALL SIBLINGS.✅

I no longer wish to give it to my last brother. He does not deserve it.👍🏽

My brother tried to use old tiles to make a “mosaic” pattern for the gate house. I did not like it.❌ It clashed with the entire color theme of the whole compound. Not my taste.

The use of “green cement “ did not sit well with me. No symmetry at all. I had to remove it. It would not go well with the black and white kerbs all over the compound.❌

One color mosaic I can tolerate. Multiple colors? No way❌

This is nice. I love harmony.✅

I wanted solid black snd white tiles I wanted to match the kerbs.

I opted for this instead. It was such a small space and not worth traveling out of town to get just 10 boxes of tiles.

This was close enough.✅

I have opened the eyes of my male cousins. The villagers don swear for dem taya for abandoning their fathers’ lands and buildings. They thought I would lose my life going to the village. I have proved to them that all the political hype of insecurity has limits.

Now, they are all rushing to come and build their father’s land instead of investing in Lagos and Abuja!🙄

How can you go and develop another man’s state and leave your own to rot? 🤷🏾‍♀️ I will do no such thing thing! I am NOT interested in ANY property OUTSIDE EDO STATE!😎

Just look a my beloved grandpa’s house? Rented out to Northerners from only God knows where. 😓Neglected by all SONS AND GRANDSONS PLC!

All of them posing in Lagos or Abuja or “the abroad”. 🙄 I even reached out to 4 of them and they made jest of the matter.

I be “common woman” ke! Who say make I put mouth.😃

A man that has over 500 grand children? Shameful indeed!

I used to looooooove spending Christmas here with over 50 cousins those days. We slept on the floor and all ate from one huge plate of food. We dey all baff together sef!😃Until we found some “pedos” amongst us!🙄

I really enjoyed this thread.
