Seriously?

N550,000 * 12 = N6.6m

N6.6m * 6 years = N39,600,000m

Are you saying a tokunbo vehicle costs at least N39,600,000m?

Like I know people lie, but this your lie is so unintelligent.

A 2015 direct tokumbo Mercedes ml 350 (non accident) is about #30M .

Please does anyone know what is next after POP ceiling, Plastering, window art work, sliding window, and external door has been completed.

What should be next in the building phase to do?

My engineer suggest tiling should start, but want to check if anyone has any further ideas?

Also, a second question - I am looking to run inverter to give me opportunity to be offgrid if i choose to, will the wiring be different from the main house wiring or the electrician can leverage the same? any advice will be appreciated. Thank you.

Plumbing fittings and tiling should go hand in hand.

The wiring for solar is quite different and a little expensive. For a 10kw, you might send up to 500k to 700k for the wires .

Originated? What does that mean really? The Chinese didn't invent the mobile phone or electric cars but they make better and more affordable ones than any other country and that goes for many many products.

Who cares about what anything originated from? You buy what you can afford and trust me a lot of those comes from China.
As for innovation the Chinese are not just copying stuff anymore, they are improving on many things and in some cases even better than the Americans.

Remember when Nokia torch light used to be the best mobile phone? That is how fast new things become obsolete. Without academic and industrial research and innovation, the know how for making these newer things won’t be available. Educational and research institutions in the US are years ahead of those in China both in human capacity and resources. How many Americans go to university in China? And how Chinese go to school in the US? There is a reason they are trooping to the US.

Laughing at this ignorance. When China is already living in the future. The age of China copying "developed nations engineering" has gone! Their scientists and technologists are now living in the future.
Fastest electric trains, 6th generation fighters, better space station solely owned by China produced at a fraction of the cost of international space station, etc. Wake up!

We have discussed this here before. The technology for the fastest train ( Magnetic induction) was developed in the US. China is only coping and mass producing. Go and research this information first.

CoronaVirusPro:
The US still finds it difficult to accept that China is already ahead of them. China’s trade reach is exceptional and even with, or without the US, they will still have an upper hand.

They have the market, resources and technology is vast areas.

Someone should ask Trump where BYD and Huawei are without the US.

Those technologies would be obsolete in few years time without further research and development. This is where the US has an edge and China is lacking. Most innovations like lithium battery used in those vehicles you mentioned originated from the US. And the future still holes more! China only copies and mass produce.
Technologies are birth in laboratories of research institutions and not in factories. Think of what is going on in institutions like Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Yales and Tufts etc. These are the best brains in the world. China does not come close and they know it. That is why their elites would pay any amount to for their wards to attend these colleges.

Hello house,
I’m still awaiting a response for this question please.

Window dressing is a different work from art work. They are charged differently. Art work is charged based on the complexity of the design. It could be anything between 5k -20k without material.
For window dressing, if you did not negotiate with those that plastered the house , they won’t do it, even though they able to do it. Depending on the size of the window, 5k for each window should do it.

Catapault:
He is correct.

$1 dollar will get you nothing in America.

It’s like N20 note.

N1500 or $1 can buy you several heavy meals in Nigeria, especially in the village.

There are places in my village you will go to, and even 100 naira food, you won’t finish.

This is not true. If you go to grocery stores like HEB, Kroger, Stop and Shop , Walmart etc you can still get 3 pieces of big plantains for a dollar.
Buy them, go home boil or roast and eat with whatever sauce you have.
If you don’t have sauce, buy tin fish with tomato sauce ( just like geisha) , it’s sold for a dollar also. Just warm it up in a little oil add salt and pepper.
Total of every thing is about $2 dollars.

If you don’t have time for that , buy big loaf of slice bread ( this you can’t finish 4 times) from the store. It’s about a dollar also. Eat with sardine , which is about a dollar too.

Also a pack of spaghetti like $1.5. each. If you buy the 6 pack size from BJs or Costco, it about a dollar each pack ( you can’t finish it like 3-4 servings) .stew Sauce from African store is about $5. It will be enough for the 4 servings.

Another example, if you buy egg which is about $5 for a dozen. And buy noodles which is about $5 for a dozen.
2 eggs will be 80 cents and Noodles will be another 80cent. Total is $1.6
That is a big meal you have.

Always be a foól before quote someone to showcase your ignorance and stupidity.
Who told you older women's eggs are not viable?
Next time, it's viable and not necessarily suitable if your not really an illiterate.

For your information weyrey, so far a woman has not reached menopause, her eggs will be viable for ivf.

How can a normal human being advocate for older women to become egg donor. Are you sure you are ok?
Continue to swim in ignorance. Simple correction is hard for you to accept. Google genetic defects like Down’s syndrome and tell us the cause.

Some Girls can be very stupìd sha...

See that GREEDY foól said the process took her virginity and she was only paid 35k, after being promised 140k...

I have zero pity for GREEDY bastarɗs, the same way I don't feel any pity for all these loose olosho Whørēs, runs girl or HOOKUP girls that gets used by ritualists for different things.

Most girls and just very lazy and lose.
THEY ALWAYS PREFER THE EASY WAY OUT, WHERE THEY CAN USE THEIR PRIVATE PARTS TO GET FAVOUR AND WHAT THEY WANT.

I don't see nothing wrong in egg donation for good reasons and to help other women who can't give birth, BUT I DON'T EXPECT TO SEE YOUNG GIRLS (GREEDY FOÓLS) DOING IT. Why would a young girl risk her life and future for small change? There's absolutely no medical procedure without risk.

The process should exclusively be left for order women who are done giving birth and just want to donate the few eggs they have before reaching menopause.
Those eggs are still viable but evil and pervert medical doctors will lie and say they prefer young girls own for selfish reasons.

Always educate yourself before contributing to topics. Who told you that older women eggs are suitable ?
Are you doubting that the viability of egg decreases with age?
If you were a doctor, would you rather risk repeating the tedious procedure instead of using a more reliable source?
Do you how much time , effort , emotional pain money and other resources it takes a couple to go through one process?
Even, if an older woman’s egg is used, do you realize that more genetic testing would have to be carried out to reduce the risk of giving birth to a baby with genetic abnormalities?
Do you know the cost of these tests?
Do you think those genetic tests are even available in Nigeria?
