because you people are in the habit of massaging his elephant sized ego, and condoning his excesses just to be in "good terms" .

I visit this forum to connect with my people , to have a feel of home and get useful information on happenings in different spheres and industries. I do not need to come here and read people talking like Nigeria and Nigerians aint shyt . If I could I would pack my kaya and hightail out of here. But we all want a better life and Income. God knows I miss the good old Nigeria. Home is Home ...I cant wait to grab all the pennies I can and retire back home.

By the way,
Happy Independence Everybody, We will become great again.....Someday cry


Like you said, we are all adults and we should be able to comport oursleves and really behave like adults.

This type of rucus has happened repeatedly before between Egunmogaji and many, many other forumites, just on this particular thread.
But with passage of time, l hope and was hoping we have all learned a thing or two from our "past experiences" so we grow to be more mature. discerning and humble.

There is no need to be insulting and denigrating to others at any and every opportunity

Nobody feeds anybody, nobody builds for another or pay another, no matter how "Big Man" you think you are.
All those ego-trips are just unnecessary and infantile.


Notwithstanding, l dont want this to get out of hand because it is actually NOTHING (I only made suggestions about using Inverters instead of Fuel Generators, which should not attract the kind of venom, ....it is not as if l have an outstanding beef with him?).

My appeal is to you and others, to just let it pass and not be offended further.
I dont want the thread to descend back to the 'They Hate me' fiesty-cuff level of the past



@Adany01, @dirdaves, @flaghouse, @desiji, @oyb, e.t.c nice contributions and
Happy Independence day to everyone

Question for you.

When wood floors were discussed on here before, some were concerned that sand brought in with shoes from the outside may scratch/damage the floor.

Is this a valid concern?

Thanks.
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by rotecch77(m): 4:43pm On Oct 01, 2017
Sand can not scratch the surface just like that, same as tiles.but any low quality tiles and wooden tiles can easily fade off, it's used in some public places also, if you go to oyingbo magistrate court you will find it there. It's durable like other types of tiles such as Vetrified tiles, ceramic tiles and possibly porcelain tiles, when it's not properly layed you might have issue with it.

Ha Ha ha, So you reported and had my post deleted Egunmogaji

i will reiterate, this time with no excuse for any deletion

you are not even a trending topic in your own life!! let alone in mine,
And did you say haters ?? seriously ? what are you, 19 yrs old?
Sometimes I wonder who died and made you king.
You are in the annoying habit of making caustic, snide and belittling remarks on other people and that is just plain irritating especially when I know you don’t have the bragging rights.

I read your posts making rubbish of Quantity Surveyors et al,…. Another man’s profession!! For God’s sake?, Simply because….?? All you do is castigate criticize and malign unless you’re kissing butt for a favour.
You're a mere immigrant in the U.S. So what That does not give you the right to run about making snide and caustic remarks, denigrating people’s professions and livelihood . If you do not need or cannot afford their services commodity or input, just keep “chut “ that’s what a sensible adult does. That is the difference between getting old and growing old. There’s no need to be a "grin-Head". Artisans are human beings too, they are workers like you.
I wonder what your profession is anyway for you to have this much free time on your hands. Sometimes I wish Nairaland had a profile section like linkedin so everybody knows their positon in the food chain. I am a reservoir engineer in Texas , what are you Egunmogaji ?

Even the elcectrical guy Acopacetic, intelligent and honest chap. One of the best vendors I have ever had contact with on this forum. Infact the only thing I regretted about meeting him was not meeting him earlier, but just because he dared hold a divergent view from yours you started taking a piss. I’d rather pay a premium and sleep well than risk getting eaten alive in the jungle. My electrical contractor who was fond of criticizing and condemning everything I buy, looked and looked and looooooked!! but couldn’t find any straw to grasp, at that point I knew It was a Hit!
We have had enough of your horsing around, go to your rofo rofo thread and play alone there. We are grown men and women here, we don’t like rofo rofo . Even naming your thread the same as this didn’t and wont get you the attention you want. If you make me go through the trouble of logging in here again , I will replace this koboko with a baseball bat.

Speaking of baseless arguments.. this is egunmogaji in March
EgunMogaji:


Thank you for your response.

The issue here is the fact that labor is too cheap in Nigeria. I am guilty of that too because sometimes when I pay asking price to artisans I just have to add more to it just so that I can sleep at night.

Over here, when you are paying cement folks at $35 per hour then you only want to pay them for 2 hours instead of 8 hours grin

4 guys at $35/hour for two hours = $280.00, versus 8 guys at $35/hour for 8 hours = $2,240.00


Here is egunmogaji in September.

EgunMogaji:


Bros, please, Nigeria is very expensive. For quality level of material and labor.

To get the same level of USA building then you have to hire Skimanski or Julius Berger grin

And this is one of the reasons why I am an advocate of established fair pricing. It will remove all guesswork and any opportunity for pompous scoundrel artisans and sellers to not poach new building entrants.

Hi Sir,
These designs happen a lot, I have done a number but didn't get to build them.
Truth is, the larger the span of the space in question the more expensive it is to go without internal support. It means you need to use members with great single or combined strength to be able to withstand the weight of the roof and other loads expected on it. Usually timber is out of the question.
Many of such design and construction projects may not have found themselves on Nairaland.

Respect Sir.

There are "specialist" Contractors who do Concrete Decking/German floor only.
All you do is provide all the materials for them. (Cement, Granite, Stone dust/Sand, Water).

They will bring their Machine and all Labourers required.
Saves you a lot of headache and from my experience, they are cost effective.

I luckily got his number from one of my old phones.
I used the man a few years back, in Lagos, very efficient (not sure if he travels outside lagos) - Kehinde 08103136914.
They are based in Mushin area of Lagos.

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Daboomb: 5:58pm On Oct 02, 2017
In other 'News' l remembered we discussed this issue of having your own guns to protect yourself as it happens in America.

Some like me, felt that allowing everyone to own guns will not help in the long run.
I felt what we need to do is strengthen our Security Forces to be able to cope with any 'emergency'.

This brings me to the event that happened Yesterday in Mandalay bay, in Las Vegas.
The summary of it was that a man checked into a Hotel with as much as TEN high Calibre, Rapid Fire Rifles.
He shot and killed at least 50 people, with over 400 others with gunshot wounds (some in critical condition)!


This raises the question again: Is easy access to guns and proliferation of guns a positive thing, in the "wider picture" of things?
If Gun was readily and easily accessible in Nigeria, will it do more harm (like this event), than good, moreso in the areas of Home Owners protecting themselves.


Or is there a middle ground
