For me, I wanted an area where I can do “ Owambe” and entertain hence the stamped concrete of almost one plot.

Hajji M.

This is very ok. For those that have owned houses with only lawn and garden, they will agree that keeping up with grass is full time job.

JinaduJosefu:
I have sent two NL DMs to you...not sure you saw it...
I am still waiting for the contact's info.
Thanks in advance

Send them email at Vchipharm@gmail.com .

Tiles will also absorb heat and release it back into the compound. Stamped concrete and compound tiles are bad for the environment as they encourage heat, localised flooding and erosion.

Grass (field turf), flowers and trees are best compound solution. One could execute a compound garden concept from just 50k with amazing result. Grass, flowers and trees (nature) are incredibly natural heat absorber and expeler.

So my own is why are homeowners not exploring the garden solution..

Maintenance of garden is tasking. Every two weeks or so, you are cutting grasses and trimming shrubs. Even when you have mechanical tools to do these things, weeds in very hard to reach places must be hand pulled. Herbicides are not my thing, the cost of chemotherapy or radiotherapy can even build one duplex.
At the end, you spend most of your weekends when you are supposed to rest mending your yard. Except if you can afford a paid gardener, then no problem.
Another thing is insects, even rodents and reptiles. Guess what flooring type would be more inhabitable for them?

@ 7500 per square metre?I used 125 bags of cement to floor my yard, 2x25tones of sand and nearly 50tones of granite, I did the stamping myself cos I made the tool design myself.

So I am talking from personal Experience as I was doing my building DIY, I just dnt know why I did not explore the tiling option.

I would rather do what you did than use all those common shine shine tiles. I have seen the real outdoor tiles and I definitely know that nothing they have in Nigeria comes close to it.
This is from a place I went to today .
The real thing to do is using natural stones that are cut into regular tiles shapes.
In Nigeria because there are no property insurance, people just do whatever. No insurance would cover any house with such outdoor floor because it’s a big liability.

twinskenny:
Why don’t people consider tiles for outside flooring?


This right here is well done and beautiful

Might be cheaper too

Stamp is good but the heat during hot weather is something else

My only concern is that it will be very slippery when wet. In addition, the material strength cannot be compared to concrete. So, tiles will not withstand the weight heavy trucks . They will definitely crack under such pressure.
Lastly, the cost of tiles with authentic anti slip surface would be very expensive. They are even more expensive than granites.

mamaafrik:

I can supply you correct 50kg indian rice at 65,000 naira,pick spot is oshodi ,Lagos.

Why you self do the calculation with #1300 instead of the #900 he said he bought a derica measure?

Read u refuse,go back to that write up and check wat I wrote and wat u wrote.....where did I beg for money?

You don’t use such words on someone you seek favor from.
I see that you are unteachable. Continue!

Divinediva2:
So how many of your kids we're committed aboard for having misunderstanding with a teacher

You don’t have to be a soldier or go to war to hear about people who died by gun shots.

efemena5050:

What brand?

When you say a man, I want to believe you mean those between 25- 35 years. The prime of marriageable age.
For a man, lot of factors come into play when it comes to preparing to settle down, most of which would counter the other. Let’s look at just 3 aspects, Finance, education and Job. I will leave the moral and physical aspect because they are highly individualized.
Education: A good education takes time and dedication. A man determined to do well won’t have the time for such relationship. All his energy and resources are dedicated to this course.

Job : Except you are highly connected or favored, getting a good job right out of school is not easy. A few that make it at that point are not really or immediately financially stable. At that point, their focus is on learning this new job environment and requirements.

Finance: This one is the real determinant of a guys stability. The lack of it transcends other areas . Building financial stability is a marathon not a race. At age 25-30, a young man is still learning the ropes, figuring out the paths to stability. Saving and investment is the goal when the money start coming in. They might not be considered attractive , especially when they are not living the lavish life style that most desire .

These is why you would hear that to be a man is not days job.

JinaduJosefu:
Ok...understood...I believe you can assist with sourcing...They are currently making burglary and windows...it should be done in 4 weeks time...How do I reach you so sort out the procurement?

I will send you the contact of their agent. He supplied mine and for some members here.

I want to say a big thank you to my NL family. Your advise on septic tank Vs biodigester was fully appreciated. I opted for the concrete tank.

I would like to know the kind of toilet drain to fix between chambers Vs chamberless. As a reminder, the house is located on a swamping area.


The floor will be stamped floor so am not sure if chamberless makes much sense in this case.

Please all I really need is advice and no snarky remarks.

In the real sense of the word chamberless, there is nothing like that . They all have chambers but the new thing called chamberless is just the use of bigger pvc ducts where the chambers are supposed to be.
Reject any work where they attempt to connect you pipes directly to the soak away, and call it chamberless.
It will be more than headaches when it blocks and might bring odor into your toilet.

OVB123:
But Edo state is not in top 12. What went wrong with Edo state this time?

When you go by the percentage population of young people from those states that made it to top 12, you will see that Kano especially is at the bottom.
Just like saying in a whole Local government, only about 2 thousand students registered.

Another way to put it is like this,
A man in Kano has 20 children and only 3 applied for Jamb
While another in Edo has 5 children and 2 applied.
Who would you say is sending more of his children to school?

They use to talk about 1000 ways to die.

In Nigeria, it is 1,000,000 ways to die.

The pursuit of everything Oyibo be it cosmetics, medications, food and/or beverages is a nuclear bomb waiting to explode.

Invest in a Dialysis center in Nigeria. The outlook is very promising ---for lack of a better word than connotes suicidal ideation among Nigerians.

/

Dialysis could take up to 8 hours non stop for a one time procedure. The most they charge is 40k.
Now the maths
Running a gen that would carry the machine and an AC unit could take more than 20 liters of diesel fuel for those 8hours.
1000k x 20 liters is 20k
You pay the workers
How much come remain?

When you scale, it might help but the utilities will also increase.

This one na APC member. Nothing will happen

You are right

Exousiang01:
I haven't heard anything this dumb in about 5 years.
All everybody is gonna see is a banned product.
Any soup with a name that even sounds like dad right now is in soup

Not true in reality . This is a business I know inside out. A typical Nigeria Consumers behavior is totally different. They will always go for hard to find product.
Remember when Eva soap newly started. It was banned in Nigeria for similar reasons. Then it was imported. Some took advantage and quickly got NAFDEC for it.
Today the soap is a top selling brand.

Divinediva2:
Honestly you sound stupid

I have children who attended primary school to secondary school ( high school ) in the US. You better learn, and stop being ignorant.
Forget what you see on movies, reality is different.
Just uttering certain words in school even among your peers can land you in juvenile.

Faposky95:
Charity does begin at home......
Your own na Yankee ehnn....?!

Which Yankee? Any student that tries that over there will end up in detention or psychiatric/behavioral treatment hospital

See opportunity to take advantage of the popular brand.
Just registered that name
Produce the same quality but without the harmful chemical.
Take over the already existing market with the new product with your nafdec number.

Offpoint1:
Expect more of this nonsense in the future. The "woke" African society wants to adopt the Western lifestyle into Africa... Forgotten like my grandfather used to tell me "Nobi as dem dey train dog na him dem dey take train goat, no dey use dog method to train goat..."

Can any student dead or alive tried this nonsense with common senior prefect in the 90s, talk more of teacher? Who Born your grandfather?

Teachers in the 90s were more respected than religious clerics, we treated them like kings. We proudly and happily farm their gardens, do their dishes, sweep their compound and fetched them water with joy.


The doom of Africa is the adoption of Western Culture, religion and lifestyle.
Today we've started having Africans with sex orientation disorder and identity crisis, and all kinds of western madness.

You guys just say things . Let me tell you now, any student that tries this in any public school in the US will end up in detention, no two ways about it .

This is even on the high side. We used to sell a tin of evaporated peak milk for 25 kobo and dozen for 2 naira around 1980-1982

Dpharisee:
She's a woman in America, the law favours them against the men

It might be because she didn’t attempt to run or hide after the incident. So she is not considered a flight risk.
Secondly she might not have had previous encounter with law
Lastly, because the case is still depending, she is still considered innocent. She could have been released to cater for the children since their other parent is no longer there.

MuslimIgbo:
No death penalty in most USA State, very evil society.

She'll plead not guilty and say it's self defence...

IF I WERE HER CHILD, I'LL NEVER HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH HER TILL THE END OF TIME.

There’s death penalty in Texas. The report says the incident occurred in Houston.

nairalanda1:
Eh, something that has been widely reported?

There is a subsidy..that's why you aren't paying over 100 naira per kWh for power, at least for most bands.


At the end, discos, like every other business must be allowed to set their prices as they see fit. Just as the government allows you to set your prices as you see fit, instead of telling you to work at a loss.

The problem is, we have not paid the market price for power for decades. Plus people steal power too. At the end, the power companies cannot give you and me what we want.

So, cost reflective tarrif paid by everyone means 24/7 power.

Good evening. If you don't get it, you want cheap power.

This is not true. As expensive as electricity could be in US, most households even mansions do not pay more than $200- $250 a month for 24hrs electricity.
If you line of thought is anything to go by, then it’s safe to conclude that the epileptic power supply is a deliberate attempt by these people to cheat consumers.
You cannot promise 20 hrs light, charge based on that, and then do otherwise. That is fraudulent.

michlins:
they're not meant to compete with the foreign doors. This is us developing our own skills. This is actually where we were few years ago and today is different

I agree, there have been a lot of improvement.. But na this same idea they cause fight for Twitter and Nairaland with Air peace /foreign airlines patronage.
My own na quality at a competitive price I want.

Edusouls:
missile defense technology was not developed by isreal it was the United States that helped them develop and built these things, God no Dey craze una black men

You are so naive. Who are the majority in STEM in the US research institutions?

helinues:


How would they sell their stocked pile ammunitions if there are no war

The world leaders are not interested in peace, that's why they keep on producing more weapons of destruction

Usa and their allies are people that when you need to deal with them, it's important to use your head, very very important.

Imagine how they misled both Israel and Ukraine into senseless war, both countries are now struggling financially as their reserves have been used to buy weapons from same US and their allies .

Use your brain sometimes. How much of US GDP is from arms sales?
Then subtract military sending for other
foreign countries, then you will know how naive it is to believe this falsehood.

US and UK does not owe anybody anything. You guys should stop killing each other. Isn’t that simple enough?

Menclothing1:
No private foreign investors will invest in Nigeria generation or transmission
Nigeria is not profitable for power it’s a long topic you know how many time obasanjo and Jonathan went to seek private foreign investors they back out when they did their visibility study

Power theft is too much in this country half prepaid is running on by pass

Barrack and government agencies don’t pay bills so if you buy gas as investors how will u see your money

We are used to subsidy

How come disco are saying they did make profit? But you are telling people a different thing.
That some people are owing does not mean they are not making profit.

michlins:
these are my prices as I can not set prices for another person

4ft door is 750k and the other one is 350k

The 3ft is really beautiful . But the price is more than these foreign doors

#280k any design

So why did they kill Deborah and RCC woman. Why do they burn churches in North ? How many mosque in south have Christians ever touched .
What did innocent Chibok girls do to them?
