We know that people that will fight tooth and nail to block this good development.
Their business does not survive when it’s not a monopoly.
Watch and see.

Very good business men.
Nothing is impossible when you set you mind to do it.

But it is true.

“Everything you can find in American, you can find in Nigeria?”

My question is, at what cost?
Let me give you one instance. Someone in Nigeria on a salary of #200k/month will have to save all their earnings for 2 years to afford a 2003-2005 Corolla.
But this is the same car you can pick from a junkyard in America.

What most people don’t know is that certain medications are cheaper to produce here in Nigeria than the import ones, with the same or better effectiveness.
When placed side by side, ignorant folks would always pick a foreign expensive one with low quality because it is foreign.
Medications like mist mag, mist kaolin, paracetamol, vitamin c should not be imported anymore.

Go to Nigeria customs website and you will discover that some of those suppose superior foreign medications are actually contraband.

See selfishness. This is what it is all about. Do you realize that many construction workers make more money than doctors in US and Europe?

During heavy snow cities beg snow removal truck drivers with more than doctors. You guys do not mention Scandinavian countries or Russia, Cuba etc where doctors make just as anybody else.

If you want to make money in a hurry, become a Nigerian politicians, 419ers or accomplices of money launderers.

Yes, doctors have families to feed but so does everyone else. Engineering is more important to the technological advancement of a country than medicine.

Count the number of computer engineers in any country, it justify why one country is more advanced than another. And computer engineers are the highest paid too.

Money monger!

Doctor should make more money than anyone else, period. If you don’t like it, go with what makes you feel alright.

Comparing a doctor who spent 12 years in university ( 4 years undergrad, 4 years medical school and 4- 6 residency with just stipend) with a laborer, a snow mowers is the dumbest thing anyone would do.

Talking about painting, @gbabexy, the CEO of Regal Paints is a man of integrity and knows his onions in the paint, basecoat /screeding business.
Quality paints

Went above and beyond!

Thanks . Highly recommended

How dumb can anyone be to compare salaries in two countries as if the standard of living is the same.

How many of you realize, especially those that are supposed to know better, what we spend in a Nigeria for food, fuel and housing in a year can not last a single month in Europe?

Pay doctors a million and others like plumbers, iron workers, engineers, managers what?

You might as well become the highest paid politicians in the world in Nigeria.

I hope you understand that a doctor who obviously receives about $200 an hour in US can comfortably live on a salary of less than $50 an hour like nurses and pharmacists get.
But they are compensated generously and rightly so.
That extra compensation is the driving factor and the difference between a rich and poor country. It’s like a magnet to ferrous metals.

It is what it is.
#500k is different from #11M ($10k) monthly

Imagine you are still managing your 2003 Corolla and your junior colleague who japaed less than 2 year ago returned for vacation with Lexus LX 570?

Still looking for who will supply this stone

She. Is trained.

Both the handling, recoil and safety in over by pointing it down shows it’s not her first time.

Dorchester . Sorry for another day.

We do things a little different right here
If you don’t like it, we don’t care.
This why pride and tribe sounds the same

Those legs could be surgically corrected

DFAMEGUY11S:

Don’t forget to send the sample picture

Greed in Africa

Poor wording of the topic. Makes it look like one of those Eze ndi Igbo na Lagos titles.

DFAMEGUY11S:
27000 per meter

If it is exactly this one here, let’s talk more . I need to see picture of your own sample

DFAMEGUY11S:
good sir how many do you want it Dem me 07087953771

Just 50 sqm. How much?

Is there any difference between that one and this one?

Who can supply this

BrightCactus:
Watery beans loading !!

Leave that thing. Those ones are also looking for their own cut.

BabaOman:
Na the guy be this

See how they’re disgracing their generation. Hope you did give that person any money.

tikristinimi21:
It appears Topsy's watsapp line has been hacked or stolen. The thief is trying to scam his contacts with the transfer issue formats. Please be warned o!

Anyone with an alternative line of Topsy should reach out to him.

This is not good.
But he can access NL on any computer. It doesn’t have to be phone.
Let him personally inform us here as well.

FreeStuffsNG:
A bird in hand is worth two overseas you are implying? Smh.

Please go and research why no diasporan Nigerian has never made Forbes list then we can be more realistic.

Leave people to pursue their fate. After all, Tinubu was a diasporan. Even Gbajabiamila was too. They all came back big!

MeineMutter:
There are some for food-grades. Not for chemical. Not all of them brought chemicals. That’s why I said those that brought chemicals can be decontaminated. It is 100% possible.

Even the brands we buy at high cost can bè cancerous. They are all made of chemicals.

There are some that bring syrups, flavors etc. read the labels on them.

None of them has ever brought hazardous chemicals. Maximum, they will bring glue.

Hazardous chemicals are not stored in such containers. You can ask chemical engineers and production managers at factories.

Hope this clarifies my point

Akerewe:
I think the imported one are safe because pple use it for rearing catfish and so far they are surviving it's environment, then it's safe for human consumption too.

That is not how cancer happens Sir. Anything mutation takes time. Sometimes years before the effect is evident.
This is called the stochastic effect. .
Have you done any follow up long term study on those eating the fish?

Yes

nurd:
I think building engineers need to do more research on this and advice their clients accordingly. However, I've not for once seen where these imported tanks are being used.

And while it might be true that there are now more fake tanks out there than original, I've personally lost count of tanks (in this case, the popular ones we buy) that lasted for years and years without leaking.

Those who have more knowledge in this area can enlighten us more though.

Let me tell you this as someone coming from a system where things work the ways they are meant to be. But in Nigeria, people do things anyhow due to lack of regulations. You see those tanks, anyone that uses them for portable water storage in a sane system, will land in jail.
Sometime ago, a neighbor was renovating his old roof and had removed the old woods as well. You need to see how people were rushing to pack the old woods for firewood, which they would later use for cooking. Those were woods which were obviously treated with chemicals including formaldehyde. The same chemical used to preserve corpse. They would then burn the woods and unknowingly release toxic gases into their foods.
Na God dey safe people in this my dear country Nigeria.

I would rather buy imported, food-grade or decontaminated tanks than waste my money on all those robber/plastic yeye brands those Asian companies manufacture for us.

Both robber and plastic are substandard.
‘Robber-made’ tanks too leak quickly. Just that it’s a bit better than plastic own. High water pressure causes it to start leaking under 2 years.

The resin and other chemical compositions in the purported robber grade are deliberately made to be lesser and substandard.
I don’t want to mention any brand but all I know is that the last time any of them made good tank was in 1993. Quote me anywhere.

If you want piece of mind, go for imported food-grade tanks or thoose properly decontaminated ones.

They are usually brought to Nigeria by manufacturing companies when bringing chemicals or food-grade additives.

The only down-side on it is that: it is usually in 1,000 liters.

Another pro of it is that: the robber is strong because those who manufactured it did because of safety of the contents in it firstly, and to withstand many weathers and other rough handlings.
They usually come on pallets and in cages.

They are cheaper. They sell between N25k to N40k, depending on how clean or how graded they are.

Make sure the one used to bring chemical are properly decontaminated before buying. Or try and decontaminate it if you know how to do it.

Some Nigerians are already going to China to bring brand new ones of those tanks.

Please run away from new ones. They are fa.ke.
I have attached photos of new (black, in this case), and used ones (white, in this case.

These whiten tanks are not made for certain conditions and for storing portable water. No matter how you wash them, the chemical composition used in making them will still degrade under certain environmental conditions. The residues could be cancarnogenes. Think of free radicals and harmful ions. These are things you can’t see nor even smell.
Not all plastics should be kept and exposed to weather elements while storing portable water in them.
The stability of the chemical composition of the material at this unintended use conditions is the real issue.
Be safe out here!

Oh ye men and women of Goodwill, I am excited to announce my induction into the Architects Registration Council of Nigeria (ARCON) and membership of the prestigious Nigerian Institute of Architects (NIA).

Congratulations.

DMTtechnologies:
You are asked to review not to try knock off someone else means of livelihood . Tell us if it is overpriced then the client will take it up from there

This is not true. There is no emotions in the market place. You go there to compete with whatever advantage you have.

Demand - Do people need what you have?
Supply . Can you supply what people need?
Price- can you enter the market with a competitive price?

Nothing more.
