that's the advice I can give cos putting him in cell as a punishment for delaying his pick up date is ILLEGAL. A big man with a lawyer won't sleep a police cell for 24 hours even if he owes someone 200m in business dispute

We big men use that to punish poor people after tipping stupidd policemen we have in Nigeria. How will you lock someone up throughout the weekend as punishment? It's bad even tho the furniture man fumbles.

I like the bolded but don't believe in it though and Yes this is Nigeria.

There's always a way about it but it all depends on what arrangement they both can come to agree.

How the furniture maker sold it to another is what I don't understand why he can't still do another one. Except that which is sold is same design he has collected money previously from a client.

furniture makers are known for this. There is this bed I saw on display and he clearly told me he made it for someone. I asked how much, he told me 190k. I told him I will take it now and pay 200k, he told me the person is coming next week to carry it. I offered him 205k and he sold it to me telling me he will work day and night to get another one done.

Business opportunities come from different angle and one can strike to tap in as much as there isn't fraud included. He should be patient for him to make another one and then BLACKLIST him. Locking him up cos he delayed him is what I didn't buy. The man messed up big time but any HUMAN can do what he did.

Hello, can you please shed more light? Some of us joined NL not too long ago so we may not know.

Bosun Davies uses the name BRABUS or NextHome on Nairaland. If you search Bosun Davies, you will should stumble upon his other victims who have suffered his fraudulent activites.

Surprisingly he is flaunting very OLD photos as his recent works and in a bid to entice unsuspecting victims. He takes your money, starts the job, uses substandard materials to cut corners and then STORY STORY STORY........mean project remains uncompleted and your money remains in his pocket.

Hello my people.

I am planning to build a four bedroom bungalow in Ibadan. The project will be starting in a short time. I actually want to equip myself with the stages involved in the process from start to finish as I dont want to look like a novice around the engineer.

Can someone take me through the processes. For the foundation, I have already offloaded the following at the site.

30tons of Sharp sand
20 tons of granite (it looks like the granite is the upper type, can it serve the purpose)
40 bags of cement
I am thinking of buying 500pcs. Can it be enough for the foundation?

What other materials do I need to provide?
I currently dont have the floor plan but experienced builders here can still give me a near estimate. It is a simple four bed, all in suit. Open kitchen, and a study.

I will be looking forward to reading form you.

Thank you.

I am

How about the contractor sends via whatsapp various pix of the materials to the client to pick from and he OKs those he prefers........Will that still be legal or illegitimate?



YES... If it's sent by him and with his phone number... As long as the colour and texture are clear by phone.. If not (eg for some tiles) drop a physical sample for further confirmation..

Thanks.... Goodluck

You mean roof area. Without specifics, I think that's too much considering that a 415 roof nearly covers an entire plot (465) in a flat roof style

yes total roof area.

Take your total floor area and add 50% of it, that should give you a worst case estimate of the roof area.

If your floor area is 200sqm, your roof area should be + or - 300sqm.

You're very correct bro!

I have a similar experience but mine isn't furniture.

I bought a land some years ago and I discovered that there are some lands at the back of a plot next to me that no one knew about because there's small stream before the land.
I approached my agent to know who owns the land (450sqm) next to me and he told me it was his brother who was in the army. I told him I want the land to add to mine and also create access road to my back. He said his brother said "If 1" is deducted from his land, they should refund his money back."
I told him "We need 30ft x the length of the land and not 1 and I will be happy to pay him double the amount he got his land and also give the agent some commission for the sales." He discussed with the owner, they agreed and I paid for the land. He (the owner) used the money I gave him to buy another bigger land (800sqm) adjacent mine and everyone was happy.
