oga mi, let's not be missing things up grin

If you started this your house April and you are doing finishing already by now that means your house no be Kobo Kobo house.

We the Kobo Kobo house owners start foundation and rest for 8months
set another block, rest for 5 month
finish lintel then rest for 1year
roof the house after 1 year rest for another 7 month
Start plastering and other finishing and house will be completed after 4-5 years. That's Kobo Kobo house grin

It's different from money that's on ground that you just go and pull out for the project non-stop .

We the poor Kobo house owners frawns at this your post. We know ourselves make you rich people no come dey take our place grin

Don’t forget one of the attributes of kobo kobo project. The owner usually buys 2-5 bags of cement at a time. Beat that!

Meanwhile...moving on. I view things from a different perspective. Someone who blames a whole tribe for his misgivings is only venting his personal life frustration. The story as told may not be true. After all there are no witnesses. But we should oblige him.

I am just curious, why the question? 12m in building this days is not a lot of money, don't get me wrong. It is a lot but considering the high cost of materials these days, 12m might not be sufficient for a foundation work in some areas.

Well, your primary focus is the intention of the building.. it doesn't matter if the land is worth 550m or 550k.

If this is a private house, as long as you like the area and it suits your need, build your house and enjoy.

If it is a rental property, do a market survey around the area to make sure it will worth your while. There will be a good Return on investment and your property wouldn't have a high vacancy rate.

What kind of structure are you planning on to build?

Don't mind the people instigating a tribal war and elders that were supposed to put them in check keeping quite.

Like I tell everyone, what is wrong is wrong, speak up and condemn evil whenever and wherever. You might find yourself in a similar circumstance.. what goes around comes around.

Few months ago, a nairalander here was alleged to have scammed another nairalander to the tune of N3m ( Three million Naira).

The victim never came here to say, aye! All this tribe are scammers. The victim, respectfully and intelligently focused on the crime and not the tribe of the suspect and everyone else , me included followed suit, no one mentioned, aye if you are doing a project and need casement windows etc in Lagos or anywhere , beware of this tribe, they are all criminals. Or do you think folks didn't know the tribe of the scammer?

The suspect, a nairalander said, ehm, he was in quarantine, this and that and then his dad died.. but we all respectfully and wisely ignored the tribe of the suspect. The thing then was folks beware of who you do business with this and that which was a plausible stance to take in those instances.. this is the stance I thought the davodguy should have taken.. aye folks, beware check your materials and your receipt before leaving the shop.

Now, here we are!! Folks still think it is okay to condemn a whole tribe just because of a transaction that we don't even know if it happened, receipt posted here did not show all the details to ascertain if it was a calculation error. A one sided conversation and no one knows exactly what transpired.. if the supposedly aggrieved party was issued 2 different receipt and he posted only one of it. Or this could have even been an honest mistake, who knows?

Regardless, assuming he was a victim of fraud, that doesn't justify calling a whole tribe criminals.

It’s not a bad ideaif you can afford it. The cost of updating features in the not-too-distant future might cost you more.

Are we sure the whole thing is not a misunderstanding arising from supposed measurement in meters of tiles or cartons. Some ppl can think that one carton is one sq meter.
The OP needs to first ascertain if he is at fault before alleging a fraud occurred.

As at the time I was building a particular project, a man in diaspora was also building a gigantic structure next to me.

Fast forward to 3 years later, the man’s daughter came home and she drove down to the gate of the house that I built believing it should be owned by someone in diaspora.
When she realized it wasn’t their building, she turn back in despair and eventually they were forced to rent out the building.

Nigeria is a funny country, and from what I read two days ago, the accuser even came back from abroad to engage in this type of tribalism. What then will he say when whites profile us for being blacks and Nigerians?
