Love800:
Wat is the diference between it and hotplate?

Same thing, different names.

Angrygoat:
Time to buy a flooded car has come. I can manage flood up to tyre level. Anything above that na scrap. Omo igbo wil still scam us.

Dubai actually buys flooded cars from US. Maybe the second time flooded cars would find their way down to Nigeria and other West Africa countries.

Global warming. Climate change

Altair25:
There are solar stoves in the Nigerian market?

Use electric stove in a solar powered house.

PuZZyNegro:
You guys are just foaming in the mouth. These people already served us food and we ate.

I don't really think we need bread again to take home.

Taking the bread home is the main reason you were given that bread.
The purpose is for you to explain to your people where you got the bread with Port Harcourt label from.
It is not just for eating.

HDF Board is between 27k to 30k, depends on Colors.
Last MDF I Bought was 17k 5. And Nigeria MDF is Better than the Chinese Imported Onces

If you don’t mind sharing, how many HDF boards does it take to complete one 3 feet door Including the frame and archs ?

Can’t people use solar?

Thanks. I have seen some of his works. Really cool!

I need someone who can do these stucco designs painting. Thanks.

bolu1986:
You can’t compare price in the east with price in the west here…

Pop cement and paint and cheaper in the east that lagos and environ….

I can do 1300 in lagos and 1k per sqm in the east.. just did in asaba recently.

I have not compared or given any price . I was only analyzing the quoted amount.

Bovijean:
Sorry for late reply sir
500 without material
1500 with material

This sounds like #30k for 20 sqm. I heard that a drum of basecoat for screeding could cover 20 sqm.

MeineMutter:
That’s like N120k per door handle. Which carpenter will now use such handle to make door and want to seek at N150k?

Thanks you confirm my assertions. People don’t know that what are being imported into Nigeria from Asia are tras.h.

Many of our door handles are only quoted in brass paints. They are substantially substandard, in all ramifications - including the ones being touted as Turkey 🇹🇷 these days.

Nearly everything and anything you can find on Konga, Jiji etc and our shops are knocked-off versions of the original ones. Nearly everything!

That’s why the US and European governments are warning their citizens to desist from buying stuffs from online sellers who are known to be Asians. Asian manufacturers have started infiltrating the West with cheaper, substandard products in recent times.

Sites like Temu, Banggood, etc are expanding their frontiers on a large scale. Our people from Nigeria buy cheaply there and ship to Europe before they reroute those items to Nigeria.

Except you are buying the ready made doors of that version and quality, then there is that risk.
However, most HDF doors are costume made with components of choice from the owners.

Otu nne.....
After soil analysis no water was found in my site at ihitennasa...
Haven't been home in years....insecurity has kept most away.

True. But I believe things will improve.
Your situation would involve taking the risk and going ahead with it. In my place, almost everyone that did theirs before me failed. Now , since I used the guys, many others have used them around the community and getting good results.

MeineMutter:
I have practical experience in this area. The keys are substandard, China-made keys.
They sell for between N7,000 and N13,000, depending on which shop you are buying it.

Fairly ok engine with keys are not that type you are seeing on the door and they start from N20k upward. Which Nigerian carpenter would want to use a 20k door engine on a door that less than 50k will finish it?

Just be gentle with the key. Oil the key hole at intervals because they are made of rusty bad steel materials. They are only quoted in shiny paints outside.

I buy brass keys and handles from Home Depot. The least is $120 each.

Yampotatocarrot:
Please, I'll appreciate that, kindly give me their contact... Was yours in Mbaise?

Close to Orlu/Orsu. I will find their number when I get home.

Yampotatocarrot:
Please house, how much should I budget for a borehole in Imo state?

Did mine for #1M two years ago in a very difficult terrain where water is hard to get to. Still working fine, no issues at all.
I can give your the people’s contact.

MeineMutter:
The first pix is wood - soft wood but painted to look like hardwood. Shouldn’t be more than 60k because it was not professionally made but don’t be surprised they will want to sell it to your from N145k to N180k.

The second door looks like either HDF or fine plywood. Could cost between 70k and 120k (though over priced). Be ready to change the door handles after 6 months or in 1 year’s time.

Don’t be in a hurry to lock 🔒 or unlock the doors because the keys are not strong and could get hooked in the engines.

How did you come to the conclusion that the keys are not strong? These are locally custom made doors by different individuals to their specifications. Some could even personally import the keys and give to the door maker.

ladyteeks:
Door vendors?

How much are these HDF doors?
I need them.

Outside door 4ft by 7ft
Inside door 3ft by 7ft

I doubt if the first picture is HDF.

Ironically, he aligned with Boko Haram, which literally means education is forbidden.

michlins:
lol. This extends to every other aspect of building materials including irons.

Ideally pipe should be 18ft but it is currently 17ft 10. Channels should be 40ft but they're currently 37ft 10.

SON and consumer protection laws are not working at all but you see their workers blaming a politician for bad government

For the Channels, importing it as 40ft will be challenging. It won’t go into the standard 40ft container cos the doors won’t close.

So it would require a special kind of container or packed in open vessels. These are very expensive shipping methods used especially for shipping heavy equipment and other bulky items .

At the end of the day, it comes down to cost and consumers behavior, prompting importation of alternative and cost effective ones.

Nigeria leaders are very confused.
They are struggling to stop importation of refined crude products due to the pressure on forex but they are opening the gates for imported rice.
We will see between the two, which puts more pressure on forex.

Amumaigwe:
The woman in that audio convo obviously did. Didn't you hear how she was leading Mr. Ibu on in the conversation, asking and answering the questions herself while Ibu kept mum.

You are very correct. That woman is very evil.
I do not blame people who do not entertain too much friendliness and gossips.
This is the reason you must suspect when people are too nice to you.

Are people still having babies in this current Nigeria?
It is well.

Omenka, do you have any comments? Be safe out there

gbadexy:
That would be acrylic matte sir.

Ok thanks.

spyder880:
Most houses I have completed has been painted with Sharin paints, over 30 houses now. I started using the product around 2005.

I am marveled that your painters are able to do this level of excellent work with just ladder instead of scaffolding.

dongc:
Vineyard matte is a product from Sharon...Sharon is one best paint companies in Nigeria 🇳🇬.

@ Gbadexy, in your range of Regal paints, which of the different matte is equivalent to this from the picture?

Olumighty123:
Bros, you don witness almost everything for this life props delivered and site sealed, then return the rented materials nah, it's as simple as that but then again, what do I know 🤷‍♀️

You can’t enter sealed premises/ property except you are ready to go to jail.
It is tantamount to tampering with evidence.

spyder880:
N30,000 each drum.

Very good price. Do you have long time experience with the brand?

spyder880:
This is the 3d drawing of this house, and the outside paints we are choosing to match it physically..............

We bought some paints and tested on the walls.

How much is the drum for this vineyard Matt paint?
