A Nairalander's Building Project -from Foundation To Plastering by Chukazu: 3:39pm On Feb 25, 2016
let me start by appreciating those Nlanders who have taking this part before now and did not hesitate to share their experiences, I must say that those were a great deal of encouragement to Us in general and Mua in particular

I remember someone asking in a particular thread "which was more preferable between buying and building a house?" of which I posited that building gives alot of challenges and stories to tell but at the end, life itself is all about you telling your own stories (like building a house) as against buying story books (more like buying a house)

lastly, I thought of building in Lagos but then I remembered "aku ruo ulo" and decided to build in my villa.

Happy view!

Building control seemed to have said stop work - but you are continuing.

Seems to be an illegal structure being built - I pity the tenants that rent the place!
