Hi Nairalanders. Please which is better between amoula pvc and nigerite asbestos as a ceiling material? Compare in terms of durability, affordability, and aesthetics. My own personal observation is that PVCs tend to sag over time. Thanks
PLEASE

I need this sir.
davodyguy:

These your prices are way way too high.

One of the reasons I don't buy most things in Nigeria and go for shopping in China, Turkey, UK is because the exorbitant prices retailers call in products.

I have these tapes, as a chartered Estate Surveyor and not (not 'agent' but RICS and ASA certified) and importing from AliExpress plus shipping to my Lagos address were 50% cheaper than what you quoted.

If cost of acquisition is ₦7500 and shipping ₦2,500=₦10,000. Selling the 40m tape at between ₦12,500 and ₦15,000 would not be bad in my opinion.

No one is saying people should not make profit, but please consider the economic challenges in Nigeria and have mercy. Biko

That's my 80m range Laser Tape.
This is UK and not China version.

If I tell you how much I bought, you think I stole it

I'm surprised that you are surprised that 9 inches block is sold for N175,...lol. it's sold for N160 at my location.

raymondFirstborn:


9inches block for N175 Which part of Nigeria? cool
Please drop the number of your supplier, so I can patronize him .


For a 3bedroom bungalow foundation at 750k is reasonable for a Kobo Kobo project. To avoid cracks there would be a plinth beam.

Even though there would be no german floor , the flooring would be done.
Ever wondered why some bungalows, have cracks on the wall?

Even though it's a Kobo Kobo project, the right thing should be done.

I've been using AliExpress for years.

1. None of my packages has ever exceeded 50 days and there's usually a 60 days buyer's protection and now extended to 90 days due to the pandemic

2. I've never in the last 4 years been billed by the Nigerian customs after importing via AliExpress and the merchant responsible for the shipping

3. Max I've ever paid was ₦500 to the GPO in Marina, Lagos or the one at P&T building on Lewis. The ₦500 is charged according to the weight of the goods. Sometimes, I don't pay a dime.

There is reason I like building work estimation always look cool, once there is delay in work then external factor will take some of the money then the calling will start, the longer the work delay, then e.g beer will take some, transport will do his own then some pepper meat and some after work chill out take some amount too then we get the real amount just saying not that I saying that you do, but what happen to me, loool

Dubemcapital1:



Thanks for the question, it will help us go deep a little. However, it may encourage someone that wants to build a little project here or there that is willing to handle the project directly and based on this and also want to buttress my point so I worked out this estimate for details sake.

Like I said its possible to build a 3bedroom bungalow ensuit with flat roof parttern, pop, tiles etc with #3M and it will come out clean and lovely.

This is a brave decision o. To be candid, I never believed you were coming home each time you posted the pix of your mansion in Ibadan (you followed Haji Mufutau55 to call it kobo kobo construction wink). One sweet thing I learnt was the way you brought foreign concept to our tropical constructions.

You obviously have no idea of how they operate, otherwise you wouldn't have said this.

You're paying to Alibaba/AliExpress that belongs to the Chinese Billionaire Jack Ma. You're not paying the merchants directly. It is when your goods get delivered that Alibaba will pay merchants.

If after 60/90 days your goods are not delivered, Alibaba refunds your money in full

Things never get deliver to destination, or got lost or stolen in the post office or in transit, it used to be complete disaster. 50 days in transit in not a joke either, better then not delivered sha. I hope the can do better on delivery time. Question, does this delivery include heavy stuff of about 100 kg?

Hello my good people of nairaland,
I want to get approval for my building permit approval in Lagos and I was told I need tax clearance but I don’t have it. Please any alternative in getting the approval without tax clearance.

Just tell them you don't have tax clearance, then you will be assessed base on the size of the building and the local govt. The building is. You will be assessed for 3years (roughly between 150k - 250k p.a) you can also discuss with the tax officer, base on your discussion he reduce the tax assessment, but you will show him some love. Just go to Alausa, you will see people willing to help you

Good day,

To make kitchen cabinets, it's preferred you use high density fiber (HDF) and for wardrobe, you can use either HDF or medium density fiber (MDF).

HDF board is the best or you can combine (hdf for the carcass and mdf for the doors) both HDF and MDF to save cost.

check my signature for the difference between the two boards.
