Good morning to all builders, potential builders and contractors in the house.

What's your take on the announcement by CBN that Naira value would still fall versus Dollars in January?

This in my opinion will lead to another price increment of building materials, as many people even with old stock can take advantage.

This can further delay construction completion.

Not a good outlook at all

I just want to be able to finish my kobo kobo project before the revolt of the poor against the rich. I know it is coming and it appears the government of the day is accelerating the day of reckoning. I hope you have a bunker under you mansion.

Dijita:


Thank you for your response. I agreed that the posting was wrong and ought to be called out. However, those who called it out seems to be looking for something to fight about. Some of the same people asking for apology are the one making tribal insults. That is the reason I asked if you follow the thread. The posts of the people asking for apology indicates to me that they are probably people engaging in tribal fights all over the places and they are looking for their contemporary Yoruba types to turn this thread into another shit show as was the case in politics section. Since most people here are not into aimless fight hence the silence.

You are very correct with your observation regarding the resident tribal warriors of the political section. They are relatively tame here and seem willing to let go if apology is tendered.
Theirs is still better than those who would keep quiet and further develop bias and propagate hatred among their sphere of influence.

Even if anything like revolt would happen, it will not start in January, 2021

Nigerians can always adjust to terrible situations.

Are we buying cement at over ₦4,000? Yes
Are we buying POP Cement at over ₦8,000? Yes

We would always survive

For those that don't understand what it means to use a blanket statement to define an ethnic group, I invite you back to 1966. That was the year a Nigeria planned coup turned to an Igbo coup just because some people started to play tribal games on the media which tainted a whole tribe , even those who have never been in the military. The next coup wasn't termed an hausa coup, and the next, it's only Igbo faults that are blown out of proportions.

I see such dangerous practices played in Nigeria daily and I feel it's my duty to bring this obvious bad practice to light, with a view correcting it.

We are not going to be accepting tribal slurs henceforth, and for anyone who thinks he can make a living by using the Igbo as excuse for their failures, I will be here to prove them wrong.

So let's have an apology and go Back to sleep, or keep hurting each other till we get sense.

A revolution is surely coming, and it's going be against those fanning ethnic embers of tribalism as a means to hurt a particular ethnic group. The government are in our support and all these houses you are building will be used to test grenades

I salute the maturity of this thread. I have gained and learnt a lot here. Maturity, indeed, is knowing what to overlook and what to dwell on. While some are really catching fun with their posts, some silence have been golden and some posts are really full of thoughts.

Maturity is also in knowing when you are wrong in a matter and blaming yourself for your mistakes and not drawing other tribes into your misery. Condemn what is bad oga.

Long Post!!!

The issue is not so much whether the OP did or said hurtful things to a tribe. It’s pretty much inevitable if we chose to leave things to continue the same way. It’s much about how we try to understand what triggered the reaction.

Before I react in situation like this, I’d try to find perspective.

I’m sure you’d agree the OP didn’t just jump into conclusion. He listed out some of his past experiences from different suppliers.
Going out of his way to use the same people he’s complaining about shows he’s not tribalistic and he actually respect “your people.”

You know how painful it is to be mocked for taking a decision against other people’s wish and still got betrayed. The closest thing to it is to be insulted over an offense you didn’t commit.

E.g. “Nigerians are fantastically corrupt”, “Lazy Nigerian Youths...” etc

The second thing I’d do is to acknowledge and voice the unspoken.

For a man who just lost some thousands of naira (I remember you called it “just N130k”. Pls make una dash me o if you get am plenty o ), I think it’d be nice to show compassion and see how you can turn the silent worries of the aggrieved into an actual discussion that can have many potential benefits for him and your people and not to issue him an ultimatum.

A lot of times you’ll realize that what you believed to be the truth wasn’t the whole picture when you have one-on-one discussion with an aggrieved person.

The man just wanted his complete order which wasn’t coming from “your man” (the supplier). Everyone defending tribes here failed to address this.

We simply dispel this as unimportant and felt appeasing the internet gods is.

We are quick to crucify the aggrieved man for over-reacting and shield our own as if nothing happened.

That’s unfair.

Some few years ago, a woman (my tribe) gave a long list of the things her husband (another tribe) is doing wrong, how the in-laws have been so terrible and it almost turned into heated argument right at my place.

I asked the wife “Do you want to be right or want to be married?” Then, there was silence in the house.

If we truly want to avoid a reoccurrence in the future, I think it’s fair to talk to our people about how to manage customers and not shield them in the name of patriotism.



If we continue to exhibit this type of character (pitching tribes against one another) every time something bad happen, it reveals insecurity disguised as patriotism.

We can handle this maturely instead of launching deliberately offensive or provocative online post with the aim of upsetting other tribes or eliciting an angry response from thread users.

It speaks volume about who we are and what we stand for.

The truth is that the approach taken whether we admit it or not, has a meaning and a target. You are inherently saying, “This cause you’re pursuing is worthy of mockery.”

I’m speaking as a matured Nigerian and not a Nairaland warrior.

I love everyone!

@davodyguy

Sir,

When it comes to how we respond to betrayal and assaults, our tactics can and will always vary. It may involve anger, humor, love, tolerance, blocking, or maybe even some productive discussion.

Nothing says you have to forgive your offender for hurting you especially when the behavior is a pattern. But sometimes a friendship is too important to let go. In this case, our co-existence as one big family
I know you go still enter Idumagbo next month to buy some materials.

Recognizing that you’re both human and that you’ve made mistakes too can be enough to help you move past it.

I’d appreciate if you can pacify the aggrieved here. I dey ground dey type this message o baba I’m not issuing an order.

Thank you sir!

Good morning all and have a great week ahead!

You have said the truth.

debeey87:
Let him carry on for as long as he can. I don't see anything wrong with @davodyguy sharing his experience about a particular set of people even after he pointed out that people with the same attribute abound in other tribes.

Heaven did not fall when people called sand suppliers all sort of names here based on how they either load less sand and collect money for the correct tonnage. People saw it as a learning point to know how to identify the correct truck and check if it's fully or half loaded.

Someone who is requesting for apologies for one tribe is throwing shades at another tribe, where is the sense in that?

If @successmatters wants to be the defender of the Igbos on the thread, let him carry on. Other businesses will continue as well and we will not turn this to a war of tribe with him. He can also go and bring trolls like himself.

Just wear your seat belt, for this is gonna be one heck of a very long drive towards growing some BRAIN CELLS

Still on this? Thought this ended already.



There's a saying that ' Call a mad man a groom, so we can have our way '


I thought a mad man has been called a groom already since yesterday by some people here, but the road is still blocked.


Technically the road isn't blocked, the mad man just wish to be mad.

The mad man hasn't been appeased yet because you haven't allowed him kiss the bride

Hello my people, I will want to plead with all aggrieved people on the thread to please sheath their swords, if not for anything else, for the season we are observing. This is supposed to be a season of rest, joy and merriment. For us to choose this very period to hurt each other with words is not appropriate. Please find it in your hearts to forgive and forget.

I have learnt a lot from this particular thread over the years, as a person who started commenting in the first page till now, I implore you all to exercise some restraints before saying some hurtful words because we are all here for each other. Thanks and continue to have a happy yuletide season.

Thanks.

Oga, you yourself should know how it hurts. That his post just took me back to 1966 pogroms instantly, and it pains to be there. I am not a trouble maker, just trying to correct a wrong statement. The owner of the statement needs to do one of these
Offer an apology
Go back and modify that post to remove the offensive statements
Retract the statement

Sometimes, fire is used to fight fire.

There's no single moderator, that's why people will stand up an make statements that insinuates that Igbos are all criminals inside this Nigeria and no mod took down the comment in over 48 hours?

That's preposterous! Very bad thing.

Let's have more talks a beg, how do one build a house without tribalism?

The guy who started the trouble was wrong not to have counted his stuff before leaving the shops, but instead of accepting his errors and quietly going about reporting the seller to the market authorities or the police, or meeting him when he returns, he chose the Nigerian easy path of blaming the Igbos.

Even the horrendous mistakes of Buharri is now being blamed on the Igbos and calling them criminals.

Wetin we do una??

Do you understand you are constituting nuisance here?

First, some people have tender apology and you still can't stop these act of attacking people not involved?


I noticed your other account got banned after you made an abusive statement yesterday to me (Got you reported and you got banned).

How I know you're the same? You only came out of cave yesterday after 2 months, same time your other account started the menace. You quoted him to 'support'.....


You keep saying the thread will be closed, it's closed till December 2021. Who do you think you are? On a faceless forum?


The op shared his experience, go through the post again. He even said there are bad people in every tribe.

If he is tribalistic, will be say such?

He typed based on his emotions and you are here attacking people.


If what he said didn't happen, will he say it happened? Or you think it's easy to get money in this present say Naija and got cheated by whosoever?


If there's no tendency to cheat, why was the amount on receipt different from what was paid?

#130,000 might be small to you, but let him vent his anger.....


Nobody owe you an apology, everyone has his or her own opinion on here.... Apologizing won't solve anything.

If they apologize, you will still leave this place and start another 'war' on another thread, which is obviously what you do as a troll.


Good luck in your search for apology

Trust me, you won't be getting any response again.

Baba stop all those long turnchi because it's not gonna help us here. I don't even want him to apologize see.

Keeps all of us busy and entertained. Deny that you haven't been catching fun in the last few days here.

Enough of all those una yeye ugly buildings and poor work, let's turn this thread to a fun spot till further notice.

We were invited here because you people here are not enjoying the peace you have here. People should have condemned the guy but you all chose to allow the comment since its against the hated tribe. Only one woman condemned him and she was shouted down. You are all supporters of tribalism.

We only want a simple apology. But we can keep having our fun as usual

I don't endorse or support their tribal slurs sir, I find it disrespectful.
That's part of what I hope to be avoided.

Composing another song.

Good morning all, compliments of the season. I have been going through statements here since on Saturday evening, and since then I am yet to read 2 straight positive comments:
My opinion:
It is wrong to label a tribe as 'criminals' after a failed transaction. It is painful to be cheated but let's try to be careful about our choice of words. Should you make unnecessary utterances and statements against any tribe, please don't hesitate to Apologise. Lets not forget that some Notable and well respected Engineers, builders, Architects and surveyors that have exceptionally wonderful reputations are from same tribe that we tag as 'criminals'. I can't and won't tag any tribe as such. If I have an issue with you, it remains between us but not me against your tribe.

Please, let peace reign, our perception of life differs. if the young man says he sees no need to apologise, let him be. Take note that insulting his tribe doesn't make you any different from him.

Please, let peace reign so the aim of this thread can be maintained. Thank you all.

successmatters:

Please at successmatters. This is a civilian camp. It is a mistake to have said what was said. we raise our hand up in surrender. We apologize to you and all the warriors in the politics section. please let us have our peace.
