Are you saying one should change doors after every 5 years?
No, it's not mandatory. But if you can afford to whilst reselling the previous one, then go ahead...especially if the door is in a high traffic zone.

Refreshing your space periodically not only maintains its financial value but attracts foot traffic, elevates comfort and sense of awe.

Mahogany vs HDF for internal doors — which one are you picking and why?
What would you look out for when making your choice?


Let’s argue it out! 👀👇

Looking forward to what our ogas got to say.
As an Architect, I will personally go for HDF. Reasons being it is more modern, asthetic, modular and easy to repair. Though Mahogany may be more durable and outlast HDF...the reality is that your home should get a renovation/retrofit at least once in 5 yrs

PropertiesRe: Can N45m Build This? by thelegend1(m): 4:44pm On Apr 22, 2025
This question of cost should go to a Quantity surveyor (whom you should pay), and not open source Nairaland.

That said, N45m would bring you out of the carcass stage but not quality finishing as shown in the images.
Budget N70m to replicate what is in the image.

grin grin grin NL makes me laugh sometimes but it's a faceless forum sha
So we should do federal road projects with the aim of increasing property values for real estate businesses? Interesting

You stated you have traveled major roads, and instead of negating the fact that these roads are death traps that need urgent rehabilitation, you jump into coastal road is a welcome development. Can you connect the two?
Assume I didn't know, tell me how the coastal road will bring the economic development that fixing most of the current dilapidated federal roads cannot bring?
I'm not going to do this back and forth with you. Your difference of opinion.

If you cannot see the logistics value the road brings other than the real estate I cited as an example, that's on you.
Anyone can see how it boosts trade in the area of
1. Petrochemicals (Dangote refinery and the myriad refineries along that corridor (Warri, PH),
2. FMCGs that are imported into Lagos via the Lekki seaport will be distributed easily
3. Movement of Agricultural products from South South/South East regions
4. Tourism
5. Support businesses (Infrastructure, telecom) that will spring up along that corridor

In terms of fixing the existing roads, hasn't that been done for the past 30yrs or more (I'm speaking for myself who has been plying those routes since the 90's)...and what has the impact been? What percentage of the Federal road is bad? Is the existing Federal route over-burdened and cartels using the annual repairs to continually cash out?
FG is re-strategizing so States can take up more revenue generating activities and stop dependence on allocation.

In case you're unaware, there is also a Sokoto - Badagry expressway being done...with the little insight I've given, I don't need to tutor you on the impact of that project.

Zionmdde:
I have traveled on all those roads I mentioned in the last 1 year. So zombie, which development breast are u sucking?
Fixing of existing roads for the past 4yrs. Just sharrap if you have nothing meaningful to say
You can make your point without insults or derogatory remarks.

I have also travelled all the major roads in Nigeria. The Coastal road is a welcome economic boost if you consider the ease of logistics it brings to the Southern corridor of Nigeria.

Additionally, all the State roads where most kidnapping occurs would be reduced drastically.

Finally, at the moment the road is generating big businesses for those who key into it.
The real estate value of the lands there are now quite valuable. Also, if you have trucks that carry sand, you can come let me key you in at N180k per truck hire per day.

For anybody wondering, an example like this is why Nairaland is drying up.
Pls explain your point you're trying to make as I quoted your post for easy understanding...

The accepted date format in Nigeria is the British format of Day/Month/Year.
If you registered your SIM at an MTN office, the likelihood of this error coming from them is minimal (I know this because I trained MTN staff and agents on this for 2yrs over a decade ago), they would ask you to reconfirm the data input before upload.
If you did it by the roadside, then the margin of error increases.
Finally, the Customer is also part responsible sometimes since you're here talking about American date format.

CrimeRe: Businessman Found Dead With Multiple Stab Wounds In Rivers by thelegend1(m): 9:17am On Feb 14, 2025
He was stabbed in a compound with neighbors and no screams were heard?

My deductions are:
- Probably a noisy compound with plenty Generators
- He invited someone who drugged him, then waited for the opportunity to strike
- Stabbing at home is usually a crime of passion and personal...low likelihood of being a cult hit.
- Check with people who frequent his abode in the past 6 months, do a proper autopsy and check for toxicology. Check his phone call records and WhatsApp for the last 2 months
- Check his neighbors as well...whoever did this was comfortable on his home environs

My birthday is the second day of December. The idiot company sent me a birthday message yesterday. On further thought, I pieced together that 2/12/2025 [British standard] was flipped to 12/2/2025 [American standard]. Do they have sense at all? I remember filling the form years ago and it was indicated before input, DD/MM/YY.
You got the date format wrong sef.
2/12/2025 is American
12/2/2025 is British
