Unfortunately, Nigeria houses will have to do with burglary proof for the next 30 years or more, The security situation is too precarious to take the risk without one. Until Nigeria embrace community policing, restructured and equipped police service, prosperous economic climate, massive personal and public job creation, good educational system, better public utilities and most importantly mentality therapy etc, the security situation will never change.

The quality of glasses we have in Nigeria are also poor, in the pictures most of the glasses are treated and don't charter with one bang, the street, public transport, private compound are littered with security cameras that makes it easy to trace and identify suspect of burglar incident, fire and theft insurance is also security that ensure victims are compensated for their damages or property lost.

Yes, it's liberating and gives sense of freedom to live in a house without burglary, no dark curtain to shield indoor.

Sometimes we install burglary proof in soft target in the house, especially backdoors or hidden entrances.
I agree with your post wink

You’re very useful to this thread!

Everything is not about selling. We need to understand what’s happening in other locations to better appreciate our brothers and sisters who are making a big difference in our dearly beloved country.

There are 30m plots here even 500m+ but the vast majority of land on this side start from 200k

Can you kindly share locations where lands from 200k can be gotten.

Pls is it possible we leveled all when tilling, and what is the safe method for that?

It is possible and you certainly can do that.
Infact, you can do something rightaway:
Fill that lower part with SHARP SAND, till it meets the level of the DPC. Compact it very wel
Do a separate Cement/Sand Combo flooring not thicker than 30mm (3cm) to cover all the flooring/sand area together.

The reason l am inisting on using Sharp Sand is because you dont want anything that will degrade overtime and create a void underneath.
When its time for tilling, Tile all together. It is Safe, have had issues like this in the past and that is how l solved it.
Problem solved.

Robbers believe that people with high fence have money.

The thing about installing high fence and other deterrent security is that if you must do it, take your time to do it properly and rightly.
Its like using hollow pipes for burglary, itis a waste of time and money, use 16mm iron rods instead.

Ff you want to do high fence, do it, install "rolling" Spiked pipes on it and then you can add barbed wire as a third level layer on it.
Those rolling spikes are a real deterrent fro thieves that try to climb the fence because they are unstable (rolling), sharp and one thif God impaled in it in Kubwa, shouting to wake the House owners to come and help him down that he is dying? shocked Who send you?
They just left the thief there till morning time before calling police to come and see o. grin

The two of them, if mature, are very good.

Difference is just colour I guess. KOKOIGBO is majorly reddish in colour. Itara is cream-ish. Itara is harder when it's too dry.

My dogs only eat from their individual food bowls.

My neighbors dogs too. They never as much as barked. At least in his case it wasn’t laced food.

Please House. I have been following this thread for few years now and I started my building too recently. I'm at the roofing stage and I intend to stop at that for now because of fund. But I still have more cement on ground. So I'm thinking is it possible I do the plastering before the bulglary,door and window fixing?
