Oluwadare316: It's not good that we have terrorism in Islam.hamas would be regretting now, and they are at fault for this new escalation even though they have been fighting for so long to claim over something important to their future and their enemy isreal. Whether u hate Islam in any forms, the two major religions have their problems in any way u want to prove it. Becos a religion group have terrorist elements, they are now attacking hospitals yet if the Arab supporters join now, US and western countries will santion and punish them. No matter the number of people killed both Israel and Palestine will not have impact on Nigerians problems/ development whether u hate Muslims or not. Everybody na hypocrites There are bigger problems in Nigeria than islamising the country. You thinks it will always benefit common person. Na political class dey manipulate the system and it will always be like that. See as Dem dey give LiveScore, becos say u wan prove that Islam is a terrorist religion, why don't they attack the terrorists by every means when they know their leader and sponsors. If Islam is bad, which religion is good and perfect with saints. It's very hard to find all the answers to world's problem.
MrOkenwa: Not architectural design. I can remember contacting the person behind the handle sometimes in Jan/Feb last year for a BOQ. The initial estimate he submitted looked senseless to me(and I mean it). I had to tell him to do it again and it didn’t still make sense. Qsfemi gave me a rough estimate for some of the jobs FREE of charge and that made a lot of sense(The tiling job and the pop, which Bolu1986 did). I’ll say qsfemi’s estimate was 95% accurate. God bless you QsFemi.
The same QSfemi our cunny contractor said doesn't know his job?
When you cheat from childhood, your destiny becomes mixed with cheating in life.
I am not an architect but this is not my first project. Final delivery duration is two weeks. A sketch must be sent before then to make corrections.
The issue is not the two weeks but I had to constantly ask for the sketch and he didn'tcommunicate unless I did. When he eventually sent it, he didn't take into consideration any of the things I specifically wanted and didn't want. For example, No ante room, round shape balcony.
I was convinced that he sent something he already had before. Even the floor plan had no measurements.
FYI: I have worked with another vendor on nairaland and never complained. I am not saying Mr. Raymond is not good ooo but communication is key.
I only posted on Nairaland because he sent me a voicenote which I found disrespectful. "He is the special advisor to Rivers governor, Gov is his uncle so he is busy and does things besides architecture. people in diaspora blah blah" he is not an hungry man.
Like wetin we carry?
At least he did the honorable thing by refunding you within the 2 weeks timeframe.
Sometimes things don't go as planned, it's just part of human nature.
This is 100% better than not getting your job or money (like we know of a particular person on this forum) , then wasting efforts chasing after them.
lastpage: I dey "doballe" for you Old School Members here! Its been quite an age!!
I remember this is where to be, if you need help on anything that has to do with Building/Construction. I hope the Business has expanded beyond imagination?
Kindly give me a referral on a Professionals that install Water Purifier (kind of Twin Tanks that contain Manganese Dioxide and some airator like Chlorine, etc.).
Where is Egungun, Hajj Mufty, and the rest of our gang? I hope all are doing well and my get well wishes to @Egungun, l heard that he got involved in a Motorbike accident.
Welcome
I hope you know @n3xt aka brabus hasn't changed and is back to look for the next victim?
n3xt: I actually borrowed the N50k at your behest. The thing not dey.
I’m not here honestly to hunt or shop. Those who knew me knew I don’t do too many projects at a time. I always work on something that will make the people turn their head.
I was actually here because something came up on a project I’m working on and I had to pick pictures from past projects here to support the proposal.
No be all client dey Nairaland.
Kobocity projects are moving steadily. Na me no just get time to dey update anything. Na my WhatsApp status be the place wey I dey share projects now as per wipe hands too full.

But baba, how come you dey do AY?? 🌚 god is truly great 🌝
To all potential home builder/owner out there, before you contact anyone on this thread offline, ask for their recommendation publicly (specifically on this thread).
@n3xt remains a plague you must with a long pole avoid.
Don't lose your money.
There are great people on this thread that got recommended to me and there are those I also recommended, they all delivered without any major issue.
For your own good, ask for public recommendation always
jesmond3945: no their kids will not come back. Mention how many people their kids came back? Besides, what money are you talking about, naira? Worst performing currency in africa, yiu are a joke.
Sorry I don't engage in fruitless discourse that no one learns from.
I listed the names already, find out where their adult children are and what they studied in the university.
Find out what they currently do and where
Lastly, learn from the people who made it in Nigeria and chose to remain in Nigeria.
jesmond3945: wetin you smoke guy. Basketmouth's family is in uk, adenuga has properties in europe, he lives in banana island but struts through europe, otedola no mention, cuppy lives in london, alibaba's kids lives in usa. Nigeria is a playground for the rich.
I believe you can read to understand.
Why didn't these people you listed move abroad?
They made their money where?
This same Nigeria
They moved (those who did from the endless list) their children abroad did for educational and security purposes, these same children will return to Nigeria to get all the best deals available here.
You actually think they moved these children abroad to live there? No, to get them equipped so they can come back to lead/rule you and your children.
How come the names you listed spend most of their time here in Nigeria?
You make money faster in a developing environment.
jesmond3945: the dark side of the moon in abroad is far better than the bright side of the moon in naija
What a mindset.
Tell Adenuga, Alibaba, Basketmouth, AY, Dangote, Otedola, Alakija, and a host of other successful people in Nigeria why they have refused to japa.
Japa is mostly for hopeless people who have no hope here in Nigeria. There are exceptions but very few.
While location matters alot, your decision making ability is the most important.
I can remain in Nigeria and make it 10x faster than those who move abroad (Then start traveling all over for holidays) if my decision making ability is topnotch (So far I thank God for everything).
A monkey is a monkey irrespective of where it finds itself.
From solar panels to tankless water heaters, automatic sprinklers systems, water conservation systems to purchase of energy star certified appliances and integration of smarthome techs, we’ve been on many these as far back as more than a decade on this forum.
I am just tired and want out.
All my systems (automatic gate, Phillips hue bulbs etc) as far back as 2013 are still working till date but I just want to declutter and live much more simple life
