when i say subsidize i mean make forex available at the official rate. Like it was done for muslim pilgrims. that'll keep the rising cost of the concerned locally manufactured goods in check
Ok. I get you. But next time we hear "Change" we go ask "Change to What?"

It's fun though. Best time to put creative juice to work with ideas that can bring down construction cost and produce mode affordable houses for the people.

It's well!

Pls avoid those square tanks. They are mostly industrial chemical vessels that were reclaimed usually illegally. Some of the chemicals are carcinogenic and need special chemicals to properly reclaim for reuse. Remember that when thirsty, workers tend to drink from any water tank on site.
Alaye! Stop frightening us jor. But you're actually right though.

Those tanks are used to transport industrial chemicals. It took a while before I was able to clean the last one I bought.

its inevitable , the cost of importing raw materials has almost doubled. unless the govermnet subsidizes foreign exchange for certain essential manufacturing inputs, the trend is only going to continue.
The price of raw materials these days depend solely on dollar. The price of imported goods will continue to increase. Cable manufacturers have increased their price more than six times this year. Our Government need to do something fast about this. One thing about this our great nation is that anything that goes up will hardly come down even though the ecnoomy is restored back to normal

Lol hajj
First of all my position has nothing to do with making Buhari look bad, I am actually a strong supporter of this administration and the direction it appears to be headed, even though the turn of events have shown that it clearly needs a better economic team and a different approach.

However with regards to the subsidizing of the forex thing....I personally heard the CBN governor state that the decision was reached months back to provide (at a concessionary rate of N197 to a dollar) a maximum of $1000 and minimum of $750 PTA for pilgrims. CBN issued a directive to that effect this month, that verification and confirmation information is highly incorrect sir, unless the CBN decided to go back on its own decision.

that aside, I am not one inclined to be embroiled in political sensationalism. I hold my views (as we're all entitled to) but keep them to myself. I just stated a move that if practicable would stem the rise in price of cables.

Thank you.. I am glad you are a supporter of well voted Govt... I am not in politics either and non of them favored me..
But the CBN has denied the forex subsidizing... I am not criticizing you but set things straight as we heard it...
And thank you for the confirmation...

Note: And one thing I and you will never disagree is that you are one of the Electrical God around here and I will always follow your directive. smiley

HAPPY WEEKEND | WRONG PHILOSOPHIES

1. WHATEVER WILL BE, WILL BE
Whatever will be will not be; you have to make it be. You have a part to play in what will be in your life, so don't leave it to chance.

2. HALF BREAD IS BETTER THAN NONE!
Why settle for half bread when you can get a full bread or even own a bakery. This is a limiting belief that positions you to settle for less and it is a mediocre to philosophy.

3. A FOOL AT FORTY IS A FOOL FOREVER
A fool at any age can be a fool forever if he refuses to let go of his foolishness. It is never too late to become wise because the day you wake up and wise up is the day you CHANGE!

4. ALL FINGERS ARE NOT EQUAL
Yes! Physical fingers in your hands are not equal but that does not make any of them valueless. Lose one and you realise that they are all valuable. You are not even a finger, so why look down on yourself.

5. LIFE BEGINS AT FORTY
If you are below forty and believe this, I feel so sorry for you because it means you are not yet alive. Think.

6. WHAT GOES UP MUST COME DOWN
Is your age coming down? Is your wisdom and knowledge coming down? Is the price of goods coming down? Think my friend!

7. HE WHO LAUGH LAST, LAUGHS BEST!
Why laugh last when you can laugh always and why laugh best when laughter is not a competition.

When we programmed ourselves with these strange philosophies, they do only one thing - limit and restrict us.

"Change the way you think and talk.. You will change your world."

Good Morning!

Yes! Price do come down. In 2004, SIM cards sells for over Twenty thousand naira but today, it's free.

In the 90s, the cost of surfing the Internet via 56k dialup modem is unimaginable but today mobile internet is getting cheaper each minute.

The cost of obtaining CofO in almost all states of the federation has been slashed. You only need to find out.

The outrageous allowance of senators and law makers have been drastically reduced.

The price of cement came down from N2,000+ in 2014 to the present N1,500

The housing prices (rental/buying) of most part of the high brow Lagos is currently witnessing a downward slope to the bottom of the curve. The N200m houses are no longer flooding our markets again. The price now ranges between N28m - N35m for a terrace duplex in most areas between Ilasan and Sangotedo.


When the right people are in the right places with good policies and an excellent system of approach, things will definitely come down.

Tools of trade, Equally Important?

Most times, we apportion blames to local builders and construction workers for a very good reason. In due course of my research, I found out that those who it better are well equipped than the ones who flip flops. Even though good tools is not a guarantee of good finishes.

I'm always of this school of thought that "there's nothing Julius Berger than the right tools of trade and a dynamic system of approach" The people remain the same.

Sometimes ago we talked about a tool called Bricky used for bricklaying.

_________
I just found this lovely Rebar Tying Machine and I'm going for it. I've always wanted something like this for a long time

There are more pro tools in the market for an avid collectors.

Apparently the CBN may have gone back on its decision,the bank took down the circular from their site although it did not issue any statement indicating whether the new policy had been cancelled or not. this is one of many forward-then-reverse decisions/policies of the current CBN leadership. Emefiele appears to be on a trial and error Navigation mode. Heaven knows this economy needs fresh intellect.

...in continuation of my earlier posts about cables
(2) Conductor Material –
This is probably the most critical, as the type of conductor you have in your cable is what determines the thermal and electrical properties that the cable posseses. One of such electrical properties is what is called the “ampacity” of the conductor... which is the amount of current it can carry ( for a given size) a lower-resistance conductor can carry a larger value of current. The resistance, in turn, is determined by the material the conductor is made from .
Some of the metals commonly/commercially used as electrical conductors include ( in their order of electrical conductivity) Copper, Aluminium, Brass. Now to make cables cheap, copper is often alloyed with other cheaper materials, this in turn reduces the conductivity and ampacity of the resulting conductor.
The sad thing is you often cannot tell the exact composition of a conductor except by laboratory testing. This is what makes brand selection and source integrity very very important. Study the picture below and you’ll observe a difference in the appearance of the two conductors.

There is a category of cables popularly called “standard wires” ...these are made in china to a standard that is supposed to be close to that of Made in Nigeria wires. This is where the likes of Fidelity, ODIC , C-Divine and other such cable brands fall into. The conducting material is not as pure as those used in our local brands, neither is the wire guage as standard. This is obviously necessary for cost reduction. These are part of the cables wrongly categorized as Nigeria wire in many quarters, but Make no mistake, khaki no be leather. The funny thing is you’ll see all kinds of unnecessary information like “100% copper” “fire resistant’ “best quality” “standard Nigeria wire” etc heavily engraved on their insulators. Once you see those kind of frivolous information , it’s a dead giveaway. These are put there on the request of importers as advertising stunts, or marketing lines for people wey dey follow wetin dem write for body of motor
