CELEBRITYSAND:
Yesterday I was contacted by one biola (+234 707 642 8279 WhatsApp and +2347058521901 calls)
He stated he got my contact from nairaland and ordered for 30 tons 3/4 grainte to Parliament estate after amen phase 3 ilamaja.
We negotiated and agreed on 475 000.00 naira. To site while payment was agreed to be once materials get to site.

I get to work and the trailer of 30 tons Granite got to the site today.
I called biola on +2347058521901
And he assured me he will effect the payments claiming he need enter the banking hall.
One Mr OluSeun Samuel ( 08080997921
+2349163748456)
Also called in reassuring that he is the engr and that payment must be effected. at a point they said payment have been sent and that I should expect the fund.
On trust the truck off loaded and left.

Since then Mr biola have blocked me and refused to respond to calls eventually when I use other lines while
Mr OluSeau Samuel claimed he have sent the money to biola...
He sent me two debit alert totalling 370k to one 1825913263.....acces bank...,john odulan alleging he paid it.

I need help tracking and getting this dou as i Smell organise scam with them.

The boy I sent to parliament estates said they have start using the Granite and some workers threatened to beat him up when he protested.

Please I need advice and help on how to proceed.
Now both is not responding to calls and texts.
You are lucky that they have started using the granite for the building. Now , they can’t deny they did not order the granite. Take pictures of the granite being used.
Make an official report to the police and get a statement from the driver.

Yeah, my location is in Akwa Ibom and mostly all the granites, stones here are brought from Akampa/Odukpani (The transportation alone plus clearance, permit & levies etc makes it more expensive)
Why would you choose to buy granite from Akamkpa to Akwa Ibom when Calabar Itu road is un passable. The truck could spend a week on that road. A distance that normally is less than 1 hour 30 mins. Buying from Ebonyi should have been easier and cheaper. We bought for #700k the last time.

Tribal gaslighting? When did we start making up phrases? If you are looking for a political correct framing you are backing up the wrong tree here. People like you covering up the bad actions of others because they are your tribesmen or politically aligned with you are the very cancer humanity can’t seem to get rid off. Did you miss the part where I said no tribe has the monopoly in crime in Nigeria? or are you just in a rush to play the victim as usual? P.s “An education person”, now English skills isn’t a measure of education or intelligence, but surely if you are going to challenge someone on their educational background, you might do well to seem like you have a good grasp of the language you are communicating in.
Stop it already. One does not have to look far to see beyond your bile filled gut. You lack the moral compass to be the judge of the people you condemn. Everyone is a saint online because of the faceless nature. Even when all religions say otherwise; “ none even one is righteous.” This type of reckless statement and stereotypical behavior is why the country is the way it is. Continue to dance naked, all in name of being pious.
No one is challenging your educational background. In fact your presumed education is a waste, if you are openly and shamelessly defending this prejudice position.

I believe you weren’t born yesterday and know a lot of stereotypes have proven true overtime. Go to sukhumvit in Bangkok and see your brothers peddling drugs to tourists without shame, infact go to online forums and see Thais complaining about this gory sight, the whole place looks like computer village with shouts of Nna here and there. Sugar club and many other clubs on the same street are not even allowing Nigerians in the clubs anymore. Look at the names of Nigerians caught for drugs in Thailand over the last 2 decades and tell me what tribe takes the cake. Infact a famous Thai cop specifically dropped y’all and described you lot as a disgrace to Africa. The video is available on YouTube and it’s not just 1. So yes this stereotype is 100% true.
An education person does not make this type of stereotypical remarks, especially if you are not from that tribe. It is considered bigotry and tribal gaslighting which is a form of incitement.

I love your breakdown for him.

I recently bought super polished Nigerian tiles (54 cartons) for #10,800 in Iwo Road, Ibadan.

I think what he needs to get right is the correct measurement (to avoid over buying the tiles), sand, cement, and transportation. Transportation and offloading can take more than you expected.

As for the tiles, go window shopping to know what's up😁. Ensure you buy a day or two of pricing oo cuz price no dey stay one place these days 😄
You are correct. I just paid for Goodwill super polished floor tiles 60 x 60 from Onitsha for #11500 per carton (1.44sqm)

You shift from the main subject of the post.
We are not talking about investment here
The theme of post is on comparison of the economic differences / ease of living between the two countries.
This would include discussion on economic opportunities that exist in one and not the other .
So, there if no “shift from the main subject” . Rather, it is an extension of topic.

Inside ikorodu? Ha Oga pls easy
Aren't you ashamed? So basic amenities is a big thing to ask for now

Man! From Agric to Odoguyan to Ogijo any land within rang of 500k is inside bush or swamp don't think you are talking to a novice
What do mean basic amenities? Inside bush you mean. This is the mentality that made me missed out on present lekki when a plot was sold for 300k around 2000. I just told you that the land is not your primary residence. You only invested to sell water to people around who are coming to build and do other things that need water. There are always people in those areas who are willing to take the responsibility and make remittances as agreed.

You can still get half plot for 500k inside ikorodu area. You are investing to sell water not to go to school and hospital.

What value is the little you are talking about?
Are insinuating 100-200k can give enjoyable life in Nigeria? How much is the phone you are using? For 200k earner how many months will it take him/her to buy grade or even lower of phone you are holding. We are in big mess in this country.
If he feels Nigeria is heaven relative to USA he should be relocate without wasting of time
Read what I wrote well. The 100k ( less expenses) is daily not monthly. You think it’s Eldorado anywhere? No, it’s not.
Nigeria that you can even buy land for 500k in some places and dig bore hole and sell water from the same land to recover your money in less than a year.
Where else can you do that.

The truth is, with very little you will enjoy life as a Nigerian. Forget about what they are trying to make you believe.
Someone like me can never lack in Nigeria except if an unforeseen situation sets in. There are many businesses one could run with very little capital.
Leverage on you have. For instance, Instead of driving Uber, use that same vehicle to transport fresh fruits on daily bases from farm area to city and sell for double. #100k fruit you will sell for #200k.
Which Uber driver makes #100k daily?

Good morning guys.

I want to tile my 79sq/m area in Owerri.
29sq/m for parlour, 50sq/m for rooms, kitchen and passage.

I received two quotation for tiles.
First person quoted me 632000, saying it's 8000 for a sq/m

The other person quoted:
For parlour 8600 per carton for 21 cartons. 60x 60
For parlour 8400 per carton for 26 cartons. 40 x40.


Please which is more realistic and advice able to go for. I don't know much about building and really confused
Go to the market, choose any size and quality of tiles you like and can afford, buy the needed quantity.
Then call the tiler ( the one that you have seen and liked their previous work) and negotiate amount for labor only.
I am sure buying cement and soft sand in Owerri won’t be much of a problem.
You can start with one trip of sand and 20bags of cement.

Let me help you with some figures

1 trip of sand = 60k
20 bags of cement @10k = 200k
Labor 1500 per sqm x 79 = 118500
Subtotal = #378500.

Now you see that the #632000 they quoted for you can only give you #253500 for tiles.

The question now is, what type of tiles can this amount get to 79 sqm?

What you are looking at is 253500 divided by 79 = #3208 ( per sqm of tiles)
To be honest with you, no 60x60 tile sales for this amount even 30 x 60 Nigeria tiles is around 5-6k .
In all of these, transportation of materials could gulp another 40-50 k.

It’s not by gra gra or mouth rhetoric. Diplomacy is the watchword in international politics.
If any leader is not careful, they could ruin the alliance that their forefathers had built over years.

But the truth is that her comment is to appeal to the local electorates. Who do you think the voters in her country would support? The one that supports deportation? No. With this statement alone, she has won the heart of majority of her people.

Nigeria has so many opportunities. Why would I need credit or loan that comes with interest? At the end you still use that money for business.
But if you start a business first, you can establish contact with big businesses that would extend some credit to you without interest.

From Experience, I will advice Tilling first before installing doors but the Subframes should have be installed.

Some Tilers will want to take a Uniform Level and this will affect the doors because they might be of different level.

To save yourself stress, additional cost and also who is doing the door stress also.
.
You are talking from the perspective of wooden doors. For someone using iron doors, it is better to install the doors first before tiles. This is more so because the subframe and the door of metal doors do not come separately.
