N4,500 for a box of 4 (24" X 24".

They are made in Nigeria though and that may not suit your impeccable and luxurious tastes

I know how you Canucks roll up there.

They have come to a billateral agreement for the work to be finished by next week when his balance will be paid and everybody will be happy. This time legal involvement is present. So far so good. Thank you all.

Special thanks to all my "Otelemuye" who dug him out.
"Small Body Big Engine" thank you very much.

I feel very proud.

Carpenter wants N2,000 per 1x12 wood. I needed 18.

Went down to "Iso Pako" at New Garage and got it for N1,500.

Saved N9,000 (about 36 bottles of Star).

Of course this is chump change but goes to show new entrants ways you can extend your budget when you buy your materials.

I really appreciate your comment,this is one issue that really bothers must people living abroad but thé fact remains that the reason why must of us come here(abroad) is too better our lives and do something back home in order to have something to Fall back on when we get to that âge when there wont be energy to hustle again.
From expérience and from what i have seen in America is that a lot of people are stuck here because they cant go home again , not that they dont have thé papers to travel but they dont have anything to Fall back on when they go home.A lot have lived in America for 30-40 yrs and when sickness come knocking on there door or they retire and still have mort gage to pay , frustration will set in and they become sick and cant go home cos they have nothing at home.

Buying directly from the factory will be more expensive than buying from the open market where there distributors sell. This is because the companies will not want to deal directly with every small buyer like me and you. They will like to sell to bigger distributors who will sell to us.

They do the price hike for direct buyers who are not registered distributors to protect their distributors and ensure adequate tracking. I was in Innoson factory and they refused to sell to me directly, I was also trying to buy wires from Cutix cables factory but they referred me to their approved distributors. In this two cases, they agreed to sell to me, at a cost higher than what the distributor was selling. In this two cases they gave me the address of their distributors and advice me to buy from them.

When I asked them the conditions that will make me a distributor, they specified the amount I will pay into the company, and the frequency of my repeat purchase in a year. I was supposed to fill a form and apply to become a distributor. That is when they will sell to me cheaper.

Sometime is cheaper buying from distributors...

This xchange rate fluctuation is killing everything... Imagine, I paid N453k for Nigerchin on April 8, 2016 for 7Bedrooms duplex with two large Livingrooms and big Guard House wiring; I can't even imagine how much that will be now... You are even paying more than that for 4 bedrooms bungalow. I hope your fence is included because mine was not included and I am regretting it now. God save us o.

mufutau55:


The leading contenders of the same quality are: Nigerchin, Coleman and Kabelmetal. Not in any order o.
I will not hesitate buying any of them... as long as they are original genuine cables. That is why I only pickup from their factory.

I have been a victim of stealing of wires at my site with most recent being last month. Wires were pulled out of the wall on a weekend. I was so angry because this could have been prevented if the gate and little space in the fence were not left opened for months. Complete cabling for 11 AC Units were pulled out of the wall. Wires/cables are not cheap at the moment. I had to cough out 550,000 Naira to buy some wires and store in a safe place till we start the wiring again.

In another news, I had to get police involved on one hopeless lying nairaland window fabricator. I paid this nairalander 70% of 1.9 million Naira to make EBM windows for me since first week of November and promised to deliver by Novemeber 27 or so. Since then, this man took 1.2 Million Naira deposit and has been dribbling us since November. I got police involved and they harassed him and asked him to sign undertaken to deliver within two weeks. In fact, they sent me video of the nairalander while he was in police gulag.

This house could have been completed if this nairalander had respected the agreement to deliver my windows by end of November. Now we put everything on hold because we cannot continue to work without windows.


Police are your friends. If anybody defrauds you, report to the police and they act if you have a case.

ahah Lovers day ke, who that romance go help these times? Block and cement?

erico2k2:

U were luck Dangote for Sue you back now cos I bought cement N2500 in PH during my decking . .
Me and me elders still dey think wetin to do Dangote

Oga Spyder you are very good. As you know not long ago I plastered my .kobo-kobo project
It is a 7 bedrooms duplex but not with spacious bedrooms, but with two large livingrooms,
security house and a generator house. So with OP project it should be about same size.
With my normal bricklayer after haggling, I paid labor for 550k plus bonus and materials is about 700k.
The plastering is for both interiors and exteriors. I don't have all the materials details handy.
The decks were not plastered because we used POP. Thanks.

Some other contractor/bricklayer wanted N850k for labor only... but I ran.

Note: This was before the latest cement increase. So factor that into the new cost.

Last question... I think you should always roof before you proceed to anything else like plastering, plumbing or electrical pipings.

Yes. Log on with your Computer, put the username and password... and when it ask you to "Refresh" just hit F5 on your keyboard.
I have tried this many times on my phone or Ipad, with no luck. I had to do it on my Computer. Hope it worked for you, let us know.
I have helped many people with this and it has worked... but nothing is guaranteed in life.

I watched the video. This definitely did not happen in Nigeria.


Nigerians don't speak that way.

NL1960:


Not fair on those that have been sympathizing with you since the issue started. You need to post some pics of the current state and also some brief explanation on what you had to do to correct it and maybe the person that did the correction if the person is a builder on Nairaland. That way, we can all learn in case we have such issues in the future.

mavverick:
Very very sensible post.
I think this was the point that Lastpage (Wife + Husband included ) and others was missing, me/others coming here to expose Bosun does not mean that without his refund or whatever i/we will not make progress if lastpage see's my house now i am sure he will faint , never in his dream would he have thought I could pull that off. He foolishly thought I was waiting for Bosun's 10K

I find that on this forum, in the last 2/3 years, only a very few select people can openly criticize Bosun Shoyoye at the height of his deception, now that hopefully he's about to be caged, we now have people opening thier mouth, whilst clients (myself included) highly regrets giving Bosun a chance, in view of the circumstances the so called Builder ought to shoulder majority of the responsibility, so clients should be blamed for builder stealing materials, providing fake documents despite giving assurances, not paying workers despite collecting money from the client, not following standard building practices, deliberately making mistakes to show the client and extract undue profit ?. Common guys, give me a damn break !!. Does Spyder have 2 heads, 4 legs, 2 stomachs, 10 brains ??

Spyder, Still have a great deal of respect for you. This guy builds houses for people in diaspora and he may not have seen them before, he just delivers as agreed.
