No custom duty and you want to sell for 3.8m after using it. Custom duty of that vehicle is 1.2m

If you can sell for 2.5m I am interested

Quote me anytime ...others are afraid of telling you this truth but I am not . V6 is the best engine for car ....forget about those ignorantly telling u it consumes fuel ...yes it only does that when your catalyst has been stolen ....those using 4plug would 've changed engine several times and your v6 kept going forever ....I have told you the best secret kept by auto sellers
you no lie bro. I bought a Nigeria used V6 Camry and used the car for over 2 years without single repair on engine. V6 engines last more than 4plug

Not everyone here is looking for cheaper alternatives.

How do I know?

I have client here who spent as much as N2m to draw a semi detached duplex plan. Most architects here would charge 700k as premium to go same job.

I have those who spent as much as 20m to import unbreakable glass panel for their residential builds. A cheaper alternative would cost less than N4m.

There are people making it legitimately here. They’re just silent.
I won't argue further. Let's move on kiss

his brother was doing the business when my Oga was an engineering student at UNN. Unfortunately his elder brother died and he took control of the business and brought education to the business. The business exploded exponentially and today he's one of the biggest importers of generator parts in Nnewi. If you have any petrol generator, I can bet you that you have his product in the generator.


He's also into the importation of motor parts

After my secondary school, I went to spend some time with one generator importer. This guy make sales of about 4ml daily. That's average oh. I dey write invoice tire. This was as far back as 2010 oh. Just let that sink in
how did the generator importer started? Most of these importers fraud foreigners and won't pay for goods shipped after sending advance or nothing.

I know about 3 people here but I can't mention their username grin grin

The truth is they're not doing small projects on the land.
don't tell me they are spending from their monthly salary or their income working day and night in abroad or businesses they run LEGALLY (that's if they actually exist cos big men with over 500m to buy land won't be here looking for cheap alternatives or DIY) angry

We know all route where people make such money, we have traveled abroad, we have been to few countries, I have mingle with big people in Nigeria as well, we know where they make it BIG. Government thieves, drug pushers, fraudsters (wire wire crew) and ritualist. It's very hard turning 10m to 100m within few years in Nigeria economy.

We have rich people in Nigeria; yes! accept... but what's their root to the TOP? Nigeria is the only country where anybody can become rich overnight without tracing their source....... people like Invictus Obi, shina pella comes to mind.

Good evening ..


This is urgent.


I just finished my wood work on Friday. I am torn between using metcoppo or steptiles aluminum sheets 0.45mm.

Please which one will you guys recommend based on experience?


Is it true that the are both prone to leaking?

I have quotations for both..

I just need to make a choice before paying.

Please help me..
don't use metcoppo or steptiles, use long span or Gerrard if you have the money. So many leakage with metcoppo especially and they won't be able to correct it until they remove all the roofing sheet

I will rather use 100m to buy plots of lands in Lagos than use 100m to buy 1 plot of land and wait for decades cos a company bought land there. No offense, majority of these people are ritualist who don't know where to spend their money.

Lagos and ogun state is the hot cake for real estate and that's the fact cos u will get value for money.

Even the expenses VGC and ikoyi are for ritualist, politicians that steal, drug dealers and fraudsters. How will someone use 270m to buy just 1 plot of land? I know people are rich but we all know how hard it is to have 20m you aren't using. And we all know the route u can take to own 300m you want to use to buy just a plot of land if we aren't feigning ignorance

Attached is the pictures of the hinges and bolt you have to use. As Oga Spyd er880 pointed out on his review about my doors,he said he didn't like the hinges much and as a result, I changed them to something better.

Attached are the following

good evening oga, why is it that most of these front doors welders do and sell for 40-50k are often broken with legs by thieves. What's the alternative for those who can't afford turkey doors?

But no timeline to when you can complete your house, except if you are under pressure.

Take your time to achieve what you want.

For my building, I first targeted December 2020, but since some materials didn't arrive and yet to arrive as at today, we are looking at sometime later this year. May March 1st or April 1st. Before I was putting myself under pressure. Now I realized it doesn't worth it.

Building is wired up 100%, tiled up to 70%, plumbing fittings done, doors, POP internal and externally done and what's left can be finished in 20 working days with another N5 million, but I am not in a competition with anyone, so I can take my time to avoid having hypertension.

School fees is due next Monday. Madam just sent me invoice now grin

I checked my kobo kobo exercise book yesterday and realized we've spent N37.850m From April, 14th 2020 to 12th January, 2021. The money didn't come at once but in piece meal. the days of buying items of N500 to that of N500,000 gradually till we got to where we are now

It is about priority
I go vex for you oga. Stop calling this your house Kobo Kobo. We are still on your matter grin

Ideally it pays to build to taste, but the terrain in Nigeria is discouraging. Start building and see different LASG agencies that you never know exist visit your site for documentations, couple with Omo Onile, area boys etc

When you build, you can be rest assured of comfort, compared with what a profit minded developer would do, just to make his return.
the funny part is, there is no receipt for most payment.

Building to your taste is still better when there is inflow of cash.

Bros,not everyone like to buy ready made house. 13m for a bungalow is very possible. Me sef done dey reach that cost.
it's possible if your finishing is LUXURY and not AVERAGE. An average 3 bedroom flat won't cost 13m on a dry land. I will build duplex with that amount and add small money for finishing.
