I envy you. I wish I can be physically present for a build but the opportunity cost is so much that it won't make any economic sense.

Selecting a team of "skilled" workers in Nigeria is a huge (in Trump's voice) task.

I used to be in that bracket too. I'll calculate that my trip money of say $5K will do so much more for the project if I just send it.

Now on the ground I can personally enter the market myself.

A perfect example is this increase in price of cement and the scarcity. If I wasn't on the ground then it wouldn't have made sense.

Artistic 3D Rendering. This is from the architects perspective. Final product will be different for various reasons.

Nice one. Please how much did you pay for the complete architectural drawings?

DUNKA:

Thanks. Normally I would divulge the cost but I was given a sweetheart deal by @Darenyx because I’m a multi purchase client.

Next is laying blocks after the monolithic floor cures.

No update on this, Baba EgunMogaji2. Is this thickness 3 or 4 inches?

I’m paralleling the progress of Chief Ladoke Akintola station near me. I don’t want to be ahead of them because I’m building for the Lagos crowd that will come.

I really am not sure about the thickness of the German floor offhead.

I'm seeing pictures and vlogs of the construction seems it's coming up nicely...they don't seems to have cement issues

How's the price of cement now?

Any Airbnb factored in or make I change my Ibadan weekend plans

I haven’t bought cement this year but I understand that it might be back to the old price.

AirBnB is certainly part of the plan. Of the 5 buildings (10 flats) one will be specifically reserved and outfitted for Airbnb duties.

You know a friend is renting out at N35K per week day (sorry) in Ibadan though in a much high brow area. His waiting list is now till March. Money dey for this country and many are silent big spenders.

Correct, airbnb will definitely do well. 35k a week or you mean a day?

I'm fine tunning my vacation with things falling in place nicely. Lagos to Ibadan train sorted, then accommodation coming up, now searching for activities/POI to fill the weekend with the help of YouTube vloggers IITA etc

But sir, this money is in some specific niches, not everywhere.

Find that niche.

The last mile is often less crowded. Go to the last mile.

I’m tired of having to explain this.

Even in almighty USA we have people, families, living on the streets of Los Angeles. The same city where multi millionaires Hollywood actors live and play.

Let’s just pray for our blessings to reach us wherever we may be.

demanuel:

There’s no country in the world where money is not in specific niches. It’s the system.

Find a need and design an efficient method to satisfy it and the money will come.

Money can never be everywhere but you can make yours.

When I left Nigeria the top acts were Sunny Ade, Ebenezer Obey, Sikiru Ayinde, Baba Sala. Where are they now? Now it’s Whizkid, Davido, Olamide, Odunlade. This life is turn by turn.

Hmmm...I greet you Sirs. Thank you

Current status of Chief Ladoke Akintola train station. Much progress has been made though I don’t see them finishing it this year. I’m postponing the return to site for another 60 days though I’ll continue to compile raw materials.

What's the distance of your site to Ibadan central for example ojo, bodija, Challenge?

It’s pretty darn far. So far that its just a minute from Ogun state

EgunMogaji2:


Approximately N1.8M including land to this level.

Hi Mr Egunmogaji (the only person I know bearing the same name is Ayinla perharps you are fan of him )

Just want to ask if you are still maintaining this budget having the way things are changing in terms of price at the back of my mind.

Thanks for this wonderful thread ... I must say I have learnt a lot from it

Best regards

On the second building the foundation came in slightly higher due to the cement crisis last year. Those prices have come back down.

We haven’t worked this year because I’m paralleling the progress of the new nearby train station.

Yes, I mimicked Alhadji Waheed Ayinlas official title. May he continue to Rest In Peace. One of the greatest Nigerians that ever liveth.

It’s from reading these kind of threads from people like Spyder880, Skimanski, Aventures that gave me the confidence to build. We push each other along.

Thanks.

I was cruising YouTube when I ran across this video.

It's shot from inside the drivers cab of the train. At some point you can see the estate the video. Very very cool
