akeensbussy:
I can see high quotation from different people on this forum....N25M, N30M just for 5 bedrooms duplex. That is too much now.

I have 5 bedrooms duplex and 3bedrooms(set back) with a security house on a plot of Land for sale here at Akeja, Ota, Not far from AIT, Alagbado. At 80% finished.

price: #17Million.

How come in Abeokuta where sand, stones and Labour are cheaper compare to other places. the best thing the OP can do is to be involve in the process 100% and u will discover that u not even spend up #15Million.

If your building is 80% finished and it already costs you 17million, you will need to tell us what the 80% finished means. Is it already roofed, plastered etc. @Akeens, please do not underestimate what the "20%" finish will cost you.

eghosajohnny:
Sir for the 5bdrm duplex in abeokuta below is the breakdown of how I will handle it or guide you on expense to roofing and with this design below if you like it

Foundation: 1.8m
Block work to decking: 2.2m
Decking:2.3m
Block work to roof:2m
Roof wood work:700k
Parapet 700k
stonecoated roofing sheet:2.7m classic sheet
Plastering:850k
Casement window:750k
Artwork:250k

Total so far on this is 14.550m

Below is the 3d of the 5bdrm duplex any other question you can call or whatsapp me on 07031886484

The questions I will ask are as below.
1. What is the sqM of the duplex? A bigger duplex will definitely cost more than a smaller duplex.
2. What is the soil condition? Even in Abeokuta, soil condition will vary from neighborhood to neighborhood.
3. What sort of foundation will @Eghosa build with 1.8m? You need a pad foundation for a duplex. That means cement, granite/gravel, good quality sound and most of all steel rods. Strip foundations are only suitable for bungalows.
4. You need to ensure you build in compliance to the structural design. Otherwise you will build a decking of less than 150mm and poor quality beams. Thin decking means at the very least, you will be feeling some serious vibration when people a walking upstairs. At the very most, your building may collapse after some years.
5. I did not see anything on plumbing, electrical, landscaping, fencing, gate, gate house, kitchen, bathrooms, tilling etc in the above quotation. Im not sure the OP, being someone who lives abroad is looking for a house with concrete floors and pit latrines.
Overall, I thing the 14.5 million quote will be grossly inadequate for an average size duplex with average quality of conveniences even in Abeokuta.

1. Obio Akpor. It is the [b]most prosperous [/b]Local
Government Area. It is situated in the River
State (Port Harcourt metropolis). It is one of the
leading economic centers of the whole country.
Besides, this is a major city of Niger Delta.
Its total area is more than 250 sq. km, while the
population approaches to 880,000. It is divided
into seventeen wards. Among the most
widespread natural resources, we can
distinguish natural gas and oil. Agricultural
sector is also quite popular.

Obio Akpor is definitely one of the richest local government in Nigeria in terms of revenue. But it is definitely NOT one of the most prosperous in terms of development and infrastructure. In fact it puzzles me why the residents dont ask more of the local government chairmen and the politicians to provide meaningful development with the vast resources at their disposal. This LG has the potential to be one of the most prosperous like Eti-Osa in Lagos.

The reason why we are backward in Africa is pretty clear. We are intellectually lazy. OP simply needs to tell us his height in feet or meters. Then we will be able to judge. All these pictures are of little use in comparing him to others

They are unimportant, But they were the ones who decided who became the Senate president, they made one of their own deputy SP; And they (PDP senators) still run things in the Senate.

Obviously, The PDP senators are more important than you think. Even zombies know this.

The PDP senators are important courtesy of the sell-out senate president - Saraki

Great, let them wear their church robe to class and let muslim girls wear their hijab. That will be good for decency.

bejick:
unfortunately your Duara master stayed back in Kaduna watching over his 150 cows since 1984.

So let GEJ go and stay in Port Harcourt or Yenagoa and let's see what will happen to him there.

Wife turning up nose while Bruce kissing. Common sense mouth odour?

The truth is that GEJ cannot stay in Otuoke because of security situations in that region. Unfortunately the man had 6 years to make a difference in the Niger Delta but he chose to embezzle our money.

Look at it, all former heads of states return to their home base. Babangida and Abdulsalami to Minna, OBJ to Otta, General Buhari to Daura etc. GEJ has to be floating around like a butterfly, Ivory Coast today, London tommorow, Otuoke and Port Harcourt for 2 days each etc. The evil he did to this country will continue to follow him around.

(CNN)The word "Africa" often evokes romantic images of elephants crossing the Kalahari, thundering water at Victoria Falls, or panoramic views from Table Mountain.

But an increasingly common sight for Africans -- especially those in Nigeria -- is that of smog, rubbish and polluted water, according to a new report.
Four of the worst cities in the world for air pollution are in Nigeria, according to data released by the World Health Organization (WHO).
Onitsha -- a city few outside Nigeria will have heard of -- has the undignified honor of being labeled the world's most polluted city for air quality, when measuring small particulate matter concentration (PM10).
A booming port city in southern Nigeria, Onitsha recorded 30 times more than the WHO's recommended levels of PM10.

Named and shamed
The other three cities named and shamed in the WHO report for high PM10 levels are the transport hub of Kaduna, in the north, which came fifth, followed by the cities of Aba -- in sixth place -- and Umuahia, in 16th position, which are both trade centers in southern Nigeria.

Last year, the World Bank reported that 94% of the population in Nigeria is exposed to air pollution levels that exceed WHO guidelines (compared to 72% on average in Sub-Saharan Africa in general) and air pollution damage costs about 1% post of Gross National Income.
The WHO study tracked the growth in the two different sizes of particulate matter, PM10 and PM2.5, per cubic meter of air.
PM2.5 particles are fine, with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers (µm) to more than 40 micrometers, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
PM10 particles are less than or equal to 10 micrometers in diameter.
Nigeria did not feature in the top 10 for PM2.5 levels.

I really don't understand what the outcry is all about. Do you expect Ajimobi to lay out the red carpet for who employee who collects two or more salaries, Ghost workers, Service Age outdated? I guess you recommend that the state governor gives them merit award? For the people with BVN problem, all they need to do is get a BVN number or correct any irregularities with their BVN and they will be reabsorbed. A similar exercise was done about 5 years ago. People who were able to prove their case were reabsorbed.

Boss13:
I don't believe this story. If the fire power was superior, the soldiers should have caught the militants

It doesn't make any difference whether you believe it or not. The galant soldiers have decisively dealt with some rogues. That's what matters.

Great initiative. MTN leading, others following.

Take another JAMB for pharmacy, the course you love. I did the same thing many years ago. I don't regret it.

I love my MTN plan.

cassidy1996:
why didnt they tie dasuki like dis

It's better you catch them young before they become governor/senator/president. Remember some governors serving jail time in far away land!

babdap:
If First bank goes bankrupt, I wonder what will happen to almost if not all the banks in Nigeria.

Most of the other banks are better run than First Bank. You need to look at the financials to confirm my statement.

Great! Then I expect many SEasterners to go home and contribute to the development of their region.

Another Government once again fails in its duties thus resulting in death of Nigerians.

@Nairaland Mods: Why bring Muslim threads to the frontpage when people cant freely comment on them?

Since the muslims wont dont like Non-Muslims commenting on their thread without confessing their alligiance to the Prophet Muhammed, then they should stay in their corner away from the free world and none to their threads should be on the frontpage.

#NoMoreMuslimThreadsOnTheFrontPage.

Thank God you are not the owner of Nairaland!!!

He sure looks 18 to me!!!

This is a good development. In more advanced world, the curriculum religious education in primary and secondary school includes Christian, Islam, Buddism, Hindu, etc.
