I am forced to disagree with d 1.8m expense.

From the picture am seeing,let me give a rough estimation,correct me if am wrong tho.

Block ....3500*200=700000k

Labor for block setting since they 9" Hollow ...4000*60 naira per block =24000

Cement used .....100*2200=220000

Wooden truss members...... 150000

Roofing sheets,[lets assume an area of 250sqrm] i.e 250*200=500000

Labor for carpenters=200000

Let me stop here.But not forgeting iron bending works, supervision,....other expense aswell.
From the above,the sum total is over 2milion naira.

As impossible as the amount she posted might be, I still want to believe she knows what she is talking about.

Your price for 9"block may not be upto 200 as you rightly posted. The location determines the price. I know what I'm talking about. She might have bought them for as low as 150 per block. Your price for cement is not o
Inline with when the building was built. Cement just gone up in the month of September from 1550/one to 2200. Considering the discrepancies in your calculation, you also might be wrong. About labour fee, I still have someone who is Willing to do that at 45/block.
So check your figure again

This is an on going project(four bedroom flat).. We are through with the roofing(we used Sumo tho')...and we haven't spend up to 1.8M

You mean upto roofing level you are yet to spend above 1.8m?
If that is true then I have a project for you.
Wait a minute, where is your base pls?

Great job Alex

LegendDrogba:
I am not a writer and I don't intend being one, so please just pay attention and you will definitely understand this my life story. My life is playing out before me like a nollywood movie and am so confused right now.
I finished service late last year and got a job early this year in an oil&gas marketing firm in Port Harcourt. Everything were going fine until July this year, my immediate boss called me to his office one good day and informed me that chairman(owner of the firm) would like to see me the next day, he asked me to be in the office as early as possible. Now prior to this time, I had been opportuned to see the chairman once, can't really remember what necessitated our meeting but immediately he saw me I could see surprises written over his face. He stared at me for a while, it was as if he saw a ghost. The day we were to meet came, dressed like never before and I made sure I was smelling nice, got to the office and discovered he was already in the office. 30mins after my arrival, I was sent a message that the chairman was ready to see me,got to his office, do I need to tell you that I was scared as hell. He asked me to sit, then after staring at me for about 10 seconds, he asked me of my full name, told him, by now my armpits were already getting wet. I became apprehensive when he started asking me about my personal family background, my state of origin,local govt, grand parents and even went as far as asking me if my dad was alive. I was surprised though but in all honesty I told him everything about me. I could see a smile in his face after hearing me, he then asked me to leave that he would call me again when he needs me. 2 days later, my boss called again that Chairman was around and he wants me in his office immediately, got to his office, he was with somebody, the person sitting in his front meaning the person was backing me. I greeted him, not even minding who was with him, was probably scared of what Mr chairman wanted this time around. In a split of seconds, I saw my chairman telling the other person sitting.. "Austin see your lost brother" fellow nairalanders, immediately this man turned to me, sitting in front of me was an advance or should I say a matured version of my humble self,though he was chubby and keeps afro, unlike myself that was still growing and also keeps low cut. He was an exact replica of me, he called me by my tribal name, now nobody aside my mom calls me by that name. He asked me to come closer, he hugged me,within a twinkling of an eye, he was shedding tears. He asked me of my mom, where have I been and all sorts of questions I can't really remember now. I could not even answer any one of the questions, you sure know how I was feeling now, didn't even know what waproduct on. He thanked our chairman, with the way they were joking and talking, it was obvious they were childhood friends... I was asked to sit and I immediately turned to one sort of a new born baby the way this man was talking to me, holding my hands,rubbing my hair and telling me how grandma would be so happy to see me. Didn't even know what brought my boldness back, I immediately asked him, who are you sir and whats going on here? He paused and looked at me and told me was my late dad's brother, he was my uncle. I stood up immediately and freed myself from his grip, dashed out of the office and headed to my house immediately without even carrying my back pack from my office since my phone was in my pocket. Called my mom and explained everything to her, she ordered that I take the next available flight back to Lagos. Was getting ready when i heard a knock on my door, my colleague in the office walked in, followed by our chairman and the 'sudden uncle'.

MY CHILDHOOD STORY.
Let me quickly take you back to my story, I was a product of teenage pregnancy, mom was rejected by my dad's family, she was only supported by my dad and his immediate brother, others were against my dad accepting his responsibility, even my mom's family rejected her with the excuse that she has brought shame to the family. In all of this, my dad and his immediate brother stood by my mom, rented an apartment for her and visits her often. Long story cut short, my mom gave birth to me and her family accepted her back. According to my mom, my dad was a comfortable young man then in the early 1990s cause he was a tanker driver. Tragedy struck when I was 2months old, my dad died in an accident. My mom was left to cater for me alone, though she was being assisted by my dad's brother. In all of this, my dad's other siblings and parents did not one day pay my mom a visit or even asked of me. All of this was explained to me after my mom was embarrassed by my dad(step-dad) younger ones after a disagreement they had with my step-dad. I was 18 before I knew that the man I grew up with to know as my dad was not really my Dad, my siblings were surprised to also know that we don't share the same father. My step-dad was such a nice man that I didn't lack anything, prior to his fight with his siblings, I was regarded as the first born, he was responsible for my schooling from nursery to university level, we were nine in the family and also a one big united and happy family. Even after the fight with his siblings, nothing changed at all, aside my surname that my mom advised me to change. I started bearing my dad's family name.

BACK TO PRESENT
now fellow nairalanders, here's the problem, my uncle (my dad immediate brother)has suddenly found me through my office and chairman, several family meeting has been held, they(my dad's family) want me back, they said they wants me to further my academic career abroad, take full responsibility of what they didn't do when I was kid. All they need is for my mom to forgive them, and let them have access to me when they want and also be a part of their family cause that was the promise they made to my dad a year after his demise. My mom's family has also joined them in pleading with my mom, my mom has sworn not to forgive any of them for what they did to her when she was a teenager. All of this happened (my mom's ill treatment happened in my mom's village back then before she relocated to Lagos and remarried. Now my mom has threatened to disown me and lay a curse on me if I dare accept them as my uncles or aunts or have anything to do with them. They are stinkingly rich cause my dad's immediate brother is into oil business and he has promised to sponsor my siblings (step-siblings) to university level, my step-dad has declined this offer, telling them he could take care of his family and he does not need anybody's help.He (step-dad) has refused to say anything concerning my dilemma, he told me i was a grown man now and should take responsibility for my life and make the best decisions I feel suitable.
Fellow nairalanders am at a cross road here, am confused and don't know what to do, presently am in with an uncle (mom's brother) my career has been haulted, am just confused and need your advises. What should I do? My mom is on my neck, sane with dad's family members. From the numerous family meetings, I got to know that am the only grand child in the family, non of my dad's siblings has given birth despite some of them being married for up to 10years now. They are six in numbers and four are married with no kids... Am the only hope(for now) of sustaining the family name.


I just need your input, how do I come out of this?
Am a very popular commenter here, especially in politics section, just created this moniker to get unbiased public opinions so this place won't turn to a place of hearing the word zombie or wailer. Am in my mid twenties.



Pls help me.

I can understand how your mother feels. she is nursing a wounded heart. she needs time to heal up. just give her time and approach her to give reasons why the reunion shouldn't be. She may have more to say but that will not stop from still being the bona-fide grandchild to your father's family. God is making you the only hope for your father's family to have grandchildren. Please be of help to them. It is their right to take care of you and not a privilege on your part. Consult widely with your step-father to be sure he won't feel betrayed and shower him more love than before. bless you

If this story was true, then we are really in for a change for the worse... Because the supposed accused(jona administration) was able to deliver on youwin even when it was not given a chance to do so.
Praying for Nigeria till real change for good happens.

HrmOlolade:
And what evidence or witness proved that muslims killed her

You better wake up from your sleep Oga and stop defending lies and error. Why are my even engaging you in this discussion.. An imam said she should be chased and later the enemy of imam killed her in order to implicate imam in her death the same morning.. Oga I pity your reasoning

Gaborone:
I would trust my instincts more than my eyes. That would at least take care of the little disappointments I have experienced so far.

Then, I would also worry less, as most of the things I worried my head about never went wrong.

Oh my sister, what happened to those eyes of yours... Over excited about what they saw or still seeing.. Lol

Gaborone:
Good morning Sir.

Sorry about the delayed response.

I don't think they are the ones who gave us a bad name. And then, their keeping/holding back the money should be referred to as injudicious, not corrupt. More so, as they have not spent it.

I believe it's time we told ourselves the truth, or at least, not carry knives and staves when someone tells us what we can't tell ourselves.

We have messed up our hands so much that it stinks across oceans, to the extent that even a child continents away knows the average Nigerian is corrupt.
In the court of law, when you defame someone, you will not be held liable if you can prove that what you said is the truth. Consequently, even as we censure what Cameron said, we should know that we have got nothing on him, given that what he said is the truth.

Lastly, we shouldn't insist on political correctness, aka 'he shouldn't have said it like that', as we are way past the stage where that will work on us What we need now is the truth that will be told like thunder, and that, while the whole world listens.

but for me,that statement credited to him is not correct because gaborone,a Nigerian Is not corrupt. The fact that some Nigerians are corrupt does not mean that some are not also clean. if the statement read some Nigerians are fantastically corrupt,maybe it would have gone down well with me. Anyways I get your point.

Gaborone:
Why does it hurt a spade when you call it a....spade? Anyone?

Because the person calling a spade a spade is the reason why a spade is called a spade.
You can't be aiding corruption in a country by 'keeping' the looted fund on behalf of the looters and still call the country corrupt.... All we are asking for is repatriation of the looted fund back to Nigeria..

Happy birthday lalasticlala... Enjoy this new age of yours with double grace..
