somehow:
Disease = No policy enforcement.

That's just it boss

coldcandy:
Which manufacturer do you deal with?
Is j & b a good brand?

J&B is a good products too manufactured in Agbara Ogun state

Nigerchin
Kabelmetal
Coleman

rmx:
At all , Skip as in buying way in advance

Okay

somehow:
Maybe it's Dangote that is causing that too.

We like chasing symptoms while ignoring the disease.

There is no price regulatory body in Nigeria.
Manufacturer increase price the way they like.
All what we are hearing is that raw materials is not available in the country

rmx:
Hmmm , not surprised at all , how many things can a man buy in advance

was going to skip copper wires this time around , will have a rethink , dejavu all over again

You can't skip copper wire boss. Aluminium is not the best option for conduit wiring.

You can use aluminium for bigger size of cable

Message from cable manufacturer

Not only cement and iron that is affected.

See the message i received from cable manufacturer this morning.

EgunMogaji2:
BUA?

Oga mi you are right people don't really use BUA cement like Dangote and Lafarge in Lagos

diordaves:
Get Ya.

In the UK, we chisel a groove (channel) into the wall and line up the wiring in the groove. But at the end of the day, the groove is covered by a PVC or metal stripe and then plastered which is close to the Nigerian way of pipping the wire. To be honest, I prefer the Nigerian way. It is neater and the cost differential may not be that much because you do not need clippings to clip the wire to the wall. I think the Nigerian way delivers a better outcome.

Running your cables in the pipe is the best practice to me because you easily pull them out in case of burnt or problem .. Running your cable in the wall without protection is very dangerous, cement is a chemical and easily damage the cable. Also, remember that the wiring cables i.e single core cables have single insulation that need to be protected

uncleteeh:
I tire oooo. Very tired.
Can't the concerned bodies move a motion for nationwide protest?
I think action is needed.
My thought.

The problem we have in this country is that there is no competition at all. Dangote and Lafarge that's the only two products available that people are demanding for in the market. Also Lafarge is theproduct of Dangote. So what are we talking about?

Chekitaut:
Good morning from here obodo Nigeria. Chai cement ₦4,500. No good reason for scarcity. We are our problem in Nigeria. Man made scarcity, reduce production, demand & supply determine market price.

4500

What is happening again ? from 3000 to 4500.

Happy easter to everyone

KelvinCoaster:

hakeem4:

In American a storey is a bungalow but in Nigeria a storey is a two floors i.e upstairs

fiyin1200:
I have to say the quality of your work is really really good. I have seen many plumbing/electrical installation works here on nairaland and I did not even know this level of precision and neatness was possible.


Have you worked on a brick building before? I was wondering how one can run wires and pipes in a brick building without ruining the look of the brick (like the pictures below). Excluding the kitchen and bathroom areas which obviously will be tiled, how can you hide wires/pipes everywhere else? I can't think of anything other than the usual chiseling&plastering or just leaving them exposed on the surface. I'm assuming the plan/design of house matters but I don't know to what extent. Will be glad if you can shed light on this. Thanks.

The pictures are from this thread: https://www.nairaland.com/3677261/ongoing-massive-red-brick-construction

Sorry for the late response,

We were fully involved from the foundation level till the project is fully completed. We didn't cut the wall for our pathways we used the hollow side side of the block. The only thing we cut wall for is the boxes because we need to recess them

Happy holiday and happy good Friday to everyone
