O boy, that's gut wrenching !

9jiria is really jagajaga.

One of the reasons I say to invest in 9ja, it needs boots on the ground bare knuckle approach.

In the west, your client could have easily swapped few emails with the county recorders office or hec, look up the information on their website to ascertain the ownership of the land.

Then check with municipal to verify the zoning of the area. Prior to purchasing the land, get a title insurance just incase, the title company usually do their own leg work as well to make sure there's no k leg on the land. All these is to avoid this situation your client found themselves now..

I understand why people have vowed not to invest in Nigeria because of its numerous uncertainties but I still admire those that brave the uncertainties, wriggle their way through the bad system and invest in the country.

Well, I truly hope your client's issue gets resolved with a positive outcome..

To me it’s like loaning a friend money. You only loan what you’re ready to forgo.

I only invest my slush funds in Nigeria.

I can get on the plane tomorrow morning for the USA and never look back.

If you have done better home work
You paid "416sqm@3100 and gave a quote of 1.6., a difference of 600k"
You would have paid 416 X2740 = 1,139,840
1.600,000 - 1,139,840 = (460,160 your saving)
Roofing have lot of games and players
I can tell you your measurement will likely be about 385 to 416

You point is well noted. But your calculation is incorrect. The 1.6m includes other accessories.
It should have been (3100 - 2740) * 416

Please go play with yourself
Try one US dollar to N475 - N485

It is quite unfortunate that Nigerians do not know how easy it is to carry out transactions like this. Maybe you would have contacted me via whatsapp as indicated and i can explain the exchange procedure to you. Guy chill.. I run a company and i know how i handle my dealings. where as there are terms and conditions applied to the offer. What you would have done is, contact me on whatsapp and then see what i say to you and there you can judge me with that. Chill. Currently dollar is 483 and i can still change at that rate but will surely get my commission on it. Go to any black market / aboki and lets see if they will change dollar at 483 for you. Gracias

Roofing is one of the the places where you get cheated by suppliers and carpenters, especially if you are using aluminium, coated sheets and any other roofing sheet measured in square metres, unless you are using asbestos . I was ripped off over 50sqm during my roofing project, the craziest thing is, I followed the guy to where they are selling it, and they supplied the same number of sheet on the cutting list but the length he measured was longer, so instead of 6.9m he measured 9.9m for 15sheets, that's 45m at the rate of 1100. I bought the sheet at IDE global iyanapaja. Those sales boys and girls know how they do the runs.

I saw money121 that day at the aluminium factory.

Always snap their cutting list and compare what they write with the physical sheet supplied. Those aluminium roofing sheet sellers are all thieves. Even those on nairaland are the same. Be careful when dealing

I was on project yesterday. The client needed my equipment and 200 bags of cement for his slab work. He started with prayers and he told me “God can use you!”

I replied “Yes, I believe!” and I gave him my bill and account details. Then I offered suggestions on how to save big on his project.

- rent my mixers and get church members to work as laborers.

- arrange a truck to transport my mixers to and fro his site.

- arrange a truck to move cement from my site at controlled price (saving almost 400 per bag)


God has used me already!

The bolded part explains who I am.

I honestly don’t like people who talk too much even my madam knew “I’m a straight-to-the-point no-time-for-long-thing guy.”

My painter once made mistake on the colour he bought for one of my project and I told him “This colour won’t fly! It must be replaced.”

The man started sweating profusely and I told him “That’s my problem to worry about and not yours. You’ve bought the paint. I just do not like the colour. It wasn’t as if you ate my money or trying to sell me something I do not like. Anyone can make that mistake - including me.”

We ended up using the rejected paint to create accent wall in some part of the building.

Some people are just comfortable with dramas!

He felt my charges are too high and I was like “Let us use your church members sir. Just rent my machine, provide free transport to and fro for the machine and let your church members do the concrete work.”

That’s the only way he can get my service cheaper.

Hello guys, a friend said Lagos ‘salt’ sand isn’t good for building as it doesn’t stand the test of time and that his dad bought sand from Abeokuta to Lagos when he was building his house.

Problem is there’s not much space on the site to buy much sand so we intend buying in bits.. say 30tons everytime we need to so buying out of state isn’t possible.

Please guys, How does one detect a good sharp sand for building?
My step father build his house while I was still in elementary school. I finished high school over 30 yrs ago. The house still standing without any crack. There are houses they built for over 50 years in the same town that is still standing. the house block was set with beach sand they only use sharp sand for the concrete so it does not corrode the iron.

You are on point. All of them are the same. One of their tricks is when you tell them another person's quoted sqm, they will reduce their own a bit to get the job. They can NEVER tell you the actual measurement. But if am using stone coated, I won't call anybody to measure anything for me. I will just be buying it in bits just like asbestos or zinc. If after using the ones I bought and it's not enough, I will go and buy again. It hurts to see these guys cut of your throat on a job you will still pay them for.
