Pray not to encounter them. Even after a year, you will be feeling very violated and angry. Whenever you remember it, you would fight back tears. No jokes.

Some people deserve it because Lagosians are very stubborn. They drive oneway and disregard traffic lights.

But what of their attitude of setting trap for people? Removing one way and no U-turn signs. They have even advanced to buying traveling boxes and standing where drivers can’t stop to book Uber rides. Any driver that makes the mistake of stopping there to pick them ehn…

You are refering to LASTMA

PoliteActivist:
Lie, lie. Don't believe them old mafia movies. Even John Gotti was beaten up in prison. Some very rich have narrated how their cell mate was some common guy. That, or protective custody.
Only thing is, they can pay for smuggled food and stuff.

Nothing like lies here.

There are exceptions.

Sadly, in most countries

Rich men hardly stay in normal cells

(including the US)

Try as much as possible not to fall for long grammar/plenty-of-pictures builders in your quest to get who to build for you.

Most won't send you any evidence of their qualifications but some are still okay.

Check old names on this thread, those who hardly post, put whichever name you are considering before them. MAKE use of their advice no matter how uncomfortable they put it. Do not be tempted at all.

Lastly, whoever you're to work with, make sure you follow up, put someone to act as your eyes on site all the time.

I wish you good speed.

Ndyoo:
It's so hard to actually know who's real and who's not. I am tired of Nigeria. How do you get proof of training, competence and experience from a building expert like you mentioned? Ask the person to provide certificate or what? I once encountered an architect that claims to be a building expert. Now the question is, would you allow an architect to build your house? And the big names here on nairaland.com will scare you away with their quotes because they are trying to create some buffer do to inflation. It's just tiring mehn.

Alright, I will get in touch soon.

michlins:
yes sir. It's Michlins though.

Okay sir, thanks.

folmus:
To be honest, I know Poka. I haven't been to other areas mentioned.

Yinksdavid:
Yes i do sell genuine activation/license key. Reach out to me via my whatsapp number on my signature.

I buy it on my Microsoft portal on request by clients

Alright.

Cyoung4real:
Okay, take it this way. 200 Naira is equal to 2 cedi 99 pesewas. 200 Naira can buy you one bag of pure water in Nigeria but you need 4 cedis or 5 cedis to get a beg of Water in Ghana. You gerrit?

Oil dey your head.

Nothingserious:
If N150k is say equivalent of 266 USD.
If someone earning 150k in Nigeria can afford a few things with that amount, can same 266 chase same goods elsewhere?

If say N400k can pay an annual house rent, can 710 USD chase same value for an annual rent too?

Ride on

Cyoung4real:
What are their purchasing powers? That’s what matters

Sensible person.

folmus:
Epe is going to be massive in near future.

There are government investments in the axis.

Land in developed areas like Poka is around 3-4m/ plot

Thanks

Is Poka more developed than Ketu, Ilamija, Molajoye and the likes?

Hello

I need to activate my Windows 10

Do you sell genuine keys or how do you go about it?

@Michlin

Can you work on-site in Lagos?

You're right.

Can you work in Lagos?

michlins:
Fake news will end this country. Nothing else will.

Not a hundred Buhari

A plot of land is needed urgently on the main road at Ibeju-Lekki ( should be around Dangote, Free trade zone, deep port, or La Tropicana road).

It can be either before the aforementioned landmarks or a short distance after them.

With a good title (A must)

If you have an idea or any info for me, please quote me.

NB: Not within an estate.

Muyesky:
Laser cut burglary door

This is beautiful but your price is not prince charming.

Good morning house

Does anyone have the projection for Epe as an investment destination?

Let’s say, is there a government plan for that area in terms of development into a city just as it was with Surulere, Lekki, Victoria Island etal?

Been hearing of some developmental news from PPP sponsored narratives, but wouldn't mind reading from "ordinary people" like me on what they think or know about Epe as location.

Jwonder:
I dislike people like you, always acting delusional. come to Lagos, you will see them on mufti looking like touts with ak47, so it's those kind of people you will tell you want to speak to your lawyer, you will receive better slap.
Just pray you don't encounter them, they will open threaten to shoot you and tag you as an armed robber.

As expected from a typical Nigerian

They have 2000 reasons why the right thing won't work rather than give it a trial as long as it is against their thought process.

I listed the scenario in which my opinion should be used, but your typical Nigerian attitude ignored it.

I get stopped by the police at least once a week and never have I been made to pay a dime or taken to the station.

I just shared what works for me, but the usual closed-minded person you are is so quick to shut it down with loads of "reasons".

Police men are humans and have things they check in those they stop before deciding what to do with them (Though there are exceptions). If you appear as prey, even a boy scout will take you for a ride.

I repeat again, unless you're in an hostile/isolated environment, try what I listed above.

When you have nothing to fear, do not offer any bribe.

If you want to scare a police man, just tell him you have the right to remain silent and wouldn't answer any of their questions if they cant expressly state your offense.

Going forward, ask them you want to speak with your lawyer.

NB: Only do this if the environment is not isolated or hostile.

Ekenev2:
If they open the chapters of some office holders in the current administration, u go fear fear. :

Are we comparing looters now?

So because this one is from the previous government, we should be reminded of those in this current government?

Lets concentrate on this one now, those in this current government stealing will surely have their day.

Gbajure:
That man will be you believe me. Except if as a student u never cheated in an exam. Or as a civil servant u vee never stolen a paper or pen. Or as a self employed u have never cheated Ur client. Or u tell you thefts have grade in d sight of the Lord.

Gbam!

ddippset:
So in your mind only one man ruined this country

I tire o.

Nigerians like chasing shadows.

Like one man is on the road taking bribes
Adjusting scale just to cheat
Changing figures
Buying votes
Selling votes
Cutting corners
Turning blind eyes to injustice going on in his vicinity.

Every Nigerian that refuses to do the right and legal things in Nigeria is part of those ruining this country!

Before blaming anyone, ask yourself, are you doing the right thing as a citizen?

vanbonattel:
Poetic justice

Hope it will happen like this one day with Nigeria, so the man that ruined this country will climb a jet and fly over Nigeria alone, and fall asleep.

A man didn't ruin Nigeria

Men and women were and are still ruining it including you if you haven't been following the law in whichever capacity.

boom99:
You no go understand. 20k Sha for parent but the others for food. Person need to sit down think

20k for your parents weekly?
And 80k for food in a week?

What kind of food do you eat with 80k?

pedrilo:
I bought 8200 in agege yesterday.
The last time I refilled in august, it was 6000

Greed is the major reason prices of household commodities keep rising in Nigeria.

boom99:
I don't know what to say. The money that leaves my pocket every week I can't fathom. Last week I spent 100k on upkeep. No serious'buyings'. Nigerians don't fully understand what we have gotten ourselves into.

₦100k on what in a week?
Lets start from here

Mercychen:
No amount of money is ever enough because the more the income, the higher your expenses and the more you'll want to improve your standard of living. All these end up gulping your finances, making your income insufficient at the end of the day. hence the need for a higher income. That is why the rich still hustle despite all they have.

Money is never enough at any level you find yourself.

This is a wrong notion and must be reprogramed if you truly want to be financially free.

Itsrm:
No structural engineering report

Sir I beg you.

Not too late

Go do the right thing

What it will cost won't stop you from building the house

But what is worth doing is worth doing the right way.

Phunmyne:
Once upon a time, when the economy was bae!

Dont let anyone deceive you.

There was no time economy was bae 10 years after gaining independence.

If you doubt me, try laying your hands on newpapers from 1970 upwards to see how it's been noisediving.

spyder880:
When I am buying bamboo for scaffolding, I look out for old bamboo. I call it old because young bamboo are usually hollow and easier to rot or spoil.

Old bamboos are those that has spent a lot of time alive, without being cut down. Many old bamboo wont have green colour on the base, they change colour to light green or even gray. Welcome Sir.

While installing the scaffolding, they should use 5" nail to nail them, and still use binding wire to tie it very well at the joining points and corners. This gives it more strength and stability.

Great!

Thanks so much.

spyder880:
When done well, bamboo scaffolding can last for as long as 6 months, but it should be checked periodically for areas with weaker links and repaired.

Thank you engineer.

Is there anything I should look out for in the bamboo as yardstick for quality and durability?

EgunMogaji2:
