Some nigeria product and china are good but not all, if you have low or medium budget you can go for it.

I last bought cutix cables just before Christmas, and 1.5mm was selling for N7,500, 2.5 for around N13, 200, 4mm is around N19,500 while 6mm was sold for about N37,000. 10mm is about N49,000.

I bought from the key distributor in Anambra State. The price may have risen again. Price increases in this country every week.

You are right my oga. Kabelmetal increase their price last week Tuesday. about 25% increase. Almost every week.

I feared this sort of increase, and that's why I continued loading Cutix and Coleman cables last year till I have more than half a room filled with wires. It's better than saving money in the bank grin

Buyers, beware of fake electrical cables in the market. What these unscrupulous elements engage in, is to bring cheap versions of cables, sometimes the low quality Chinese imports and wrap them with good quality Nigerian brand names like Cometstar, Cutix or Coleman cables. But inside the wrappers, the cables are fake. They might sell cheaper, and even mix one or two real ones, but the larger majority are fakes.

Please note that most good cables carve their brand names on their cables, inside the wrappers so you can always tear open the wrapper and read what is written on the cable, not the wrapper.

Be guided.

Many people won't listen to this advise. They believe the one selling cheaper in the market will work for them. But when there is constant power supply in Nigeria they will know the implications.

Yes Nails cables are the best because they are pure copper, the size written on the cable is the exact size when measure with vernier caliper. But the price is not friendly at all

Hi Egunmogaji, I have been a perpetual silent observer on Nairaland, however I am moved to scribble this morning based on the 8k mention for the cost of well rings: Please note that Well ring in Ibadan is 2, 300 Naira ONLY per ring. I bought 11 only last week. It is not specific to any seller or location in Ibadan. That is the going rate in all of Ibadan. We bought around Akobo - where my site is situated.

@ spyder880, mufutau55 and all stake holders in d building industry.

Kindly estimate d cost of plastering a spacious 6bed dup please; u can advise "most reasonable" and possible highest limit all things being equal in view of the lack of details on d full size of the building.

More so, is there a better way to proceed than: roof and move on to plaster_ before any other work??

Kind share expert views and learning points from experience pls.

Plastering workmanship should be N500k average plus around N650k average for cement and sand.

Oga Spyder you are very good as usual. As you know not long ago I plastered my kobo-kobo project.
It is a 7 bedrooms duplex but not with spacious bedrooms, but with two large livingrooms,
security house and a generator house. So with OP project it should be about same size.
With my normal bricklayer after haggling, I paid labor for 550k plus bonus and materials is about 700k.
The plastering is for both interiors and exteriors. I don't have all the materials details handy.
The decks were not plastered because we used POP. Thanks.

Some other contractor/bricklayer wanted N850k for labor only... but I ran.

Note: This was before the latest cement increase. So factor that into the new cost.

Last question... I think you should always roof before you proceed to anything else like plastering, plumbing or electrical pipings.

Well, we have three branches.

The Executive branch is led by POTUSON Hajj and VPOTUSON GAbbyTabby. Senate by Skimanksi, Spyder880, Aventures, etc etc. House of Representative by Mavverick, 3Strikes and co (those folks that are multi landlords).

I belong to the opposition party, you know the noisemakers and rebel rousers .

Welcome back.

I say if you haven't earned a righteous long ban then you've not arrived grin
