gregyboy:



The use of oba instead of ooni or sir allocated by the British makes me know that yorubas borrowed the title oba from benins




Yoeubas borrowed the word oba from binis

What does the word oba mean in bini language. King i know is Ogie.
Why is the Oba refered to omon'oba

TAO11:
Here we deal with evidence.

It is an unhidden fact that Itsekiri is a Yoruba sub-group.

Says who? Well, says the Itsekiris themselves.

(1) Quoting from the eyewitness account of Captain H. L. Gallwey’s “Journeys in the Benin Country”:

“Let me now refer briefly to the tribes that people this part of the world. First we come to the Jakris, who are connected in race and language with the Yoruba people, extending from the Mahin country on the west to the Forcados on the East, and inland about as far as Sapele.”

~ H. L. Gallwey, “Journeys in the Benin Country, West Africa,” The Geographical Journal, Vol. 1, No. 2 (Feb., 1893), p.127.


(2) Quoting from H. Ling Roth’s (1903) report from eyewitnesses of the late 1800s:

“In this respect, however, the officials agree with the tradition of the people at Warri, the Jekries, who claim to come from the west.”

~ H. Ling Roth, Great Benin: Its Customs, Arts and Horrors, (1903), pp.8-9.

In sum, the minority children of insecurity and inferiority complex (aka the Binis) should rest and seek other life aspirations.

Cheers!

Thanks for the reference. I know for sure Itsekiri is of Yoruba ancestry. Their language leads credence to that; but their ruling family is another kettle of fish. Ogiame is a bini word. Oba of Benin has always played roles in itsekiri royal house. History has it that one of Bini princes became the first Olu. I wouldn't mind more education if you have more information as regards this

b4bola:


Even your oba of Benin can't refute that.
Edo people are from Ile Ife.

I think Edos aren't Yorubas but their ruling house is obviously of Yoruba ancestry.
The use of Oba instead of Ogiso.
The Oba gets to fight a Bini family like that in a mock fight to ascend the throne
And many other pointers to show the ruling is likely to be of Yoruba origin

Methinks, Itsekiris are more yoruba than binis but their ruling house is of bini ancestry.

Latest Prices of Building Materials in Nigeria

Do you people now have cement?

Nosa111:
Hello everyone. Please how much is a trip of sand now? Precisely in Benin city. Thanks

25 to 30k

Very troublesome set of beings. Fanatic, extremists and hateful. See document in black and white, shameless people.

zuraking:
these are plain simple design but the price is still a good deal considering the price of POP cement

Ok. Well so far so good.
Please how much do they charge per sqm for screeding? Any idea?

n3xt:


He’s obviously quoting for a precast parapet. A lot of homeowners have run into problems because we are looking for a builder/engineer who can speak Queens English.

I think I understand what he’s trying to do and how to handle such worker if he’s working for me. I won’t be looking for ways to only cut cost but a way to get the best out of him.

Ok pardon me please. I had my mind on in situ

waley007:
Please house , my masion gave me this for my 4bedroom parapet , any criticism please

No granite?
Is he going to be the iron bender too. The rods are too few.
Is labour not too much for only mason labour? Carpenter and iron bender's labour is not yet included

Omonjoe:
Do you mind sharing the contact of the person. I'm in need of one. All the quotes I have gotten so far are just way above my budget

Do you still need the number or have you gotten someone?

zuraking:
that's the pop I am warning you about. Close your eyes do quality job.

I am still waiting for "soonest" pictures of pop she did 4200 per sqm. I doubt if ABS pop sells less than 7k especially in lagos

The POP guy is almost done. He's almost done.

Omonjoe:
Do you mind sharing the contact of the person. I'm in need of one. All the quotes I have gotten so far are just way above my budget

Working for me presently. Will share it later

twinskenny:
when was this ma?

Just this Thursday o.
200k for 48sqm

zuraking:
they will over use your material for being wise buying material yourself

This 4200 per sqm isn't real o

200k for 48sqm.

DancingSkeleton:
Good morning everyone ,
Please what is the average cost of POP per square meter? And cost of only labor per square meter if i am to buy the materials? In Benin city precisely

Mine takes #4200 per sqm to provide everything
#1200 per sqm for only labour.
I found out buying materials for them is more expensive

This MURIC are sick in the head. Mission school should do your islamic bidding abi. Stop fooling yourselves a d go establish your own school.

michlins:
now this is exactly the reason I spoke with the alumaco guy. When I went to site, they were still building the carcass and no plastering has been done. I only asked him to help me with his measurements since he's the last person there to save me some time. In a sane world, it's not a big ask to make from a fellow artisan but I guess we live in a crazy world.


Please everyone, I didn't work so hard,see me called a thief and dragged here only to ruin it over window burglaries.

I'm here for the long run

Pls keep your heads up and keep up your good works. Many here want you to succeed, it's just a few that want to hear bad story and say shebi i talk am.
All the best in your endevours

redgem:

Where are you based

Cribking1:
Stay away from Rabiu Kehinde Adeniyi a.k.a Mountmoriah . He is a Criminal and Fraudster. I paid him #1, 369, 750 to supply me Roman stone coated roofing sheets and accessories. I haven't heard of him till now. All his lines switched off. I sent the payment to his GTB account number 0007312835. I trusted him based on the fact that he delivered wood to my site and I paid on delivery for the wood. After gaining my trust, he took measurements of my roof and opined to supply me the roofing sheets. I transferred to him for 48 hours now and haven't received the materials. I spoke with him this morning and he said they were on their way to Ibadan currently at Guru maharaji. Told him to snap the himself with the vehicle conveying the materials to my site since 10 am, he went off immediately and have been off since. I later called, him two lines switched off.

Please try and calm down abit. He should have found a way to communicate but anything could be the problem. Hoping he calls you tomorrow and delivers your sheets.

zuraking:
furniture makers are known for this. There is this bed I saw on display and he clearly told me he made it for someone. I asked how much, he told me 190k. I told him I will take it now and pay 200k, he told me the person is coming next week to carry it. I offered him 205k and he sold it to me telling me he will work day and night to get another one done.

No wonder. Brother fear God o

PAPAFEELERS:
Please people in the house, how can you classify this and what can be the recommended solution.

We gave a furniture maker NGN 200,000 as advance out of NGN 250,000 to make a set of chairs on the 1st Dec 2020. The. Furniture maker gave us as 20 Dec 2020 to deliver..

After so many promise and fail, we learnt today that the furniture maker made the furnitures but sold it and kept lying to us giving one excuse or the other.

It's really annoying and painful because he traded with my 200, 000 making profits and still he has not delivered the order from Dec 20, 2020 till now.

How can I get this furniture maker to feel the pain I am going thru because of his dishonesty and wickedness.

Will getting him to arrested be an option that would be effective?

Please I need suggestions because if this people are not made to bear the consequences of their actions, such behavior will continues with more people falling victim.

Very painful something. Lock him up on a friday and bail him on monday. Then let him sign when he will deliver the furniture according to specifications. Let him make the furniture because 200k at December is no longer 200k now.

larryking540:

o wer edo how far,
how much be cement for benin now ,?

3300 at OGG depot at Oluku

PAPAFEELERS:
Good morning ALL,
A bamboo pole sells for how much? I need it for building scaffold for my building plastering.
Merci!

230 to 250 here in Benin city

godquality:
My profis am back again. So far so good progressing with my house but it has not been easy.

So i asked my window guy for his quotation, i got the below;

Aluminium casement window
4x4 at a price of #40k each
2x2 at a price of #20k

sliding window with net
4x4 at a price of #28
2x2 at a price of #15


However in Nairaland i have seen a different quotation format as shown below:
1 1200 X 1400
2 1700 X 1900
3 1400 X 1400
4 1200 X 1600

Does this make any sense to you guys? should i ask for similar quotations.
Also what should i be looking out for in terms of material quality.

Yours is in feet while the ones you see here are in mm. It's the same thing.
4 by 4 is the same as 1200 by 1200
