Ynix:

3. Structural Work

Sub-Total: ₦11,000,000
4. Roofing

Sub-Total: ₦5,000,000
5. Windows and Doors

Painting (Interior and Exterior): ₦2,000,000
Tiling (Floor and Walls): ₦3,000,000
Ceiling Work (POP or PVC): ₦1,500,000
Sub-Total: ₦8,500,000
8. Exterior Finishing
Paving/Compound Finishing: ₦3,000,000
Drainage and Fencing: ₦2,500,000
Sub-Total: ₦5,500,000
9. Contingency (5%)
Unforeseen Expenses: ₦2,500,000
Grand Total: ₦50,000,000

Note: This costing is subject to reduction or addition based on inflation, market situation, quality of materials and type of expertise engaged
Lets investigate this costing:

1. The foundation trench you are excavating for a typical 3bedroom flat is roughly 88m.
So looking at this item
Excavation for Foundation: ₦700,000

it means you are excavating 1metre of the foundation trench for about 8k!!! Haba!

2. Let's try the cost of block-wall
Wall Construction (Blocks, Mortar, and Labor): ₦8,000,000

the length of the foundation trench is around 88metre see sample in the attached
The number of blocks required for a typical 3bedroom would be
(88/0.45) = 195.5 (each course of blocks)
Foundation (3 coach)
up to lintel (9 coach)
up to roof beam (3 coach)
in summary 195.5 x (3+9+3) = 2933.3 blocks
Note that I did not remove door and window spaces. I left that to account for bad and damaged blocks

You need about 1bag of cement to set 50blocks so the number of cement for block setting
2933.33/50 = 58.66 bags
price of cement is around 10k/bag, blocks is around 650h/block
So for block setting minus sand, water, transport and labour you need
2933.33 x 650 (blocks) + 58.66 x 10000 = NGN2.49m
We have covered about 70% of this cost for blocks and cement yet the poster is budgeting NGN8m for this

3 Also for POP ceiling it is roughly 12k/sqm
Ceiling Work (POP or PVC): ₦1,500,000
11m x 11m x 12000 = NGN1.45m

4 Also for tiling is roughly 12k/sqm
Tiling (Floor and Walls): ₦3,000,000
11m x 11m x 12000 x 25% for walls and skirtings = NGN1.8m as against NGN3m!!!


Verdict: This bill is highly overpriced!

InvestmentJanuary Refresh: My Peak Milk Tin Savings Fail (and How You Can Avoid It) by TornApart(op): 4:05pm On Jan 12, 2025
Anytime I hear people brag about how much they're able to save inside their wooden saving box, I keep wondering whether I come from a different world. I tell a carpenter to construct this box for me every time I want to save a particular amount, but my "long throat" won't allow me to keep my savings intact. I will just be fingering it anyhow.

Two of my friends once complained they put 2k daily for 6 months and didn't miss a day. But when they opened theirs, one saw only 2k inside the box while the other person saw just 1k. Another friend claimed that most of the people that construct the box do use juju that will be making someone's money to disappear; and advised they put charcoal inside the box next time.

But me, I know my problem. I'm the person that uses scissors to collect the money as soon as I put it. So, I decided to discipline myself and save. I intended to use the money to open a small business. A friend advised I use a tin of milk for it. He said that once I make a small hole in it, using scissors to collect money from it won't be easy.

I decided to give it a try... I bought a tin of peak milk, opened the middle small with a knife, drank the content, rinsed the container, allowed it to dry and started saving money in it. The thing was working well oo, until tragedy struck: within seven months, I was able to gather 40 containers and all were stuffed with money.

Only for me to return from work one evening and not find the containers again. I asked our last born and she said she had packed them and sold them to iron condemn people. The werey came back from school and started sweeping and rearranging the house that I didn't send her to rearrange. She said she thought I didn't have time to throw the empty peak containers away, so she helped me do it. She sold each container #10 naira and realized #400. And I was saving 1k daily.

As we begin a new year, let my peak milk tin savings fail be a lesson to you. Start your savings journey again, and avoid my mistakes!

FoodThe Chicken Price Revenge by TornApart(op): 10:16am On Jan 12, 2025
The 30k chicken I was begging my neighbor to sell to me for 25k during Christmas, she has now come to beg me to take it for 15k.

I put my toothpick in my mouth and told her I have 8k last.

After all, December madness* has finished and everybody has returned to factory setting.

" Neighbour oya take it for 10k na" she begged .

"Na 8k remain for me account. Make I transfer? " I said nonchalantly.

"Oya na" she replied looking defeated.

"You go sell two? Make I send 16k at once" i said giving her a bombastic side eye as I opened my bank app.

" Chai neighbour you wiked o" she exclaimed.

I Agree.
After all she started the wickedness by denying me Christmas chicken with her outrageous price.

Las las all I can add ontop the 8k is 200 naira.
Let her use that one for pos charge.

Nonsense and ingredients greed.

Whenever I remember that I only earn 35k monthly as a private sch teacher and the first Born of my family without parents, I feel like I'm a waste. Each time I want to pay my landlord his rent and I take out over 100k to pay, I instantly notice I am enslaving myself.
Nobody will perfectly understand how I feel.
