Nigeria is not abroad where police will respond to your call immediately.

Na baba God dey guide us jare

Why do you need the police?

Why do you guys always default back to comparing Nigeria to abroad?

Who in Nigeria is waiting for the government for anything? Are you waiting for them to provide good roads, water, security or light? Don't you have your own gen, borehole, opc? etc

I thought alerm systems are for theives? Armed robbers in Nigeria would come to your front door and order you to open the door, what would an alerm system do for you in that situation? The police would definatly not answer you

Why do you need the police?

Oga egunmogaji if ur son is an engineer will u advice people not to involve an engineer in building construction,its not all engineers that are incompentent, get a competent one and u will be glad

You're backing up the wrong tree. If my son happens to choose an engineering career, I hope he won't be chasing simple bungalow designs around on Nairaland.

I've said it before, if you're building a structure for sale, for rent then have an engineer onsite. My builds are bungalows, they have structural engineer for the plans and that's where the track stops for that.

Since I don't leave in naija full time yet, I use these topics to gauge the temperature of things on the ground.

So my prayer is to have neighbors who are not weasel sheeple / I'm not looking for trouble o grin cheesy / preferably Hausa and igbo and who are not bible thumpers so we can setup a neighborhood watch program.

I'll approach the multi tenant housing near me and offer the landlord to pay 1/4 of the rent for military and police residents.

I'm not a self defeatist but look for solution, by my nature and professionally.

baba, so what's your conclusion

Kowope baba, you've said it best. Everyone has to decide what security they want for their house grin

Besides you named at least 5 separate levels of defense for your house which are all inline with what I've been saying.

1) you'll get Hausa guard
2) you'll have another one for support
3) you'll get dogs even though you don't like them
4) you'll get an armored front door
5) you'll get an armored rear door

Haba, were on the same page now grin

At least you didn't say you don't need wall or dog and you just need bibeli mimo cool

My purpose is not to convince anyone to do anything. Clutch your bibles and cowering to the thieves work too but not the cut of my jib.

@ tavanso what do you mean ? I don't really get you . It's fun to you but it might be hurting someone else ! This house you are talking about has bin in existence since 2012 . Stop acting if you can do more this engineer . The parapet was done since 2013 and now it's 2016 . If the house is not strong enough the building will collapse under six months . As for the column when I am done with the pop I will post the pictures . So what else?

You're right, he or anyone shouldn't mind me. Why you guys can't just face your lane? Am I the only one on Nsiraland out of over 1,000,000 of us? wink

You bring up a good question though.

I don't live in Nigeria full time and my house is not even complete yet. Where am I going to keep or install stuff? Make sure that your brain is in gear before you approach the keyboard.

Besides, you won't wish for the fate of what happened to the omo onile on your worst enemy. I didn't include that in the story that I shared willingly. I wrote my omo onile story and it wasn't some hidden expose that you found cool

As the Yoruba will say, Aja toma sonu, koni gbo fere olode.

@Egunmogaji, the man that knows it all. Respect Baba.
I want to be like you when I grow up I swear grin

Anyway, like I always say in my conclusion. Time will tell.

If you settle the omoniles in the day, I am sure you will settle the underworld men in the night.

Make baba God himself protect me o. Amen.

Time indeed will tell for your dreams and aspirations. Worry less about me and mine.

You don't want to be like me, I for sure don't want to be like you. I like my life.

Who I settle, by night and day is my problem, as long as you're not funding it abi? grin

It's a shame that you don't know the difference between attempt at land grabbing and robbery. Educated people know the difference and each requires different response.

What you regard as know it all is simply a benefit of exposure and age.

In Naija there is no difference between the two. Omoniles na for day time, most of dem na robbers and burglars for night.

The same way you cooperate with them for day, you will also do for night when they come calling or someone might not live to tell the story.

Masquerade man, all I can say is that you need Jesus and that bibeli o. Except no be the same Naija wey me and you dey talk about.

I wish you a very peaceful retirement sir.

I really don't need your well wishes, I really don't. I'll have a peaceful and fantastic retirement regardless of what you say, think or hope. You're not in my inner circle cool

And please keep your sky fairy tales and storybook to yourself, I'm immune.

You don't know me or my character enough to postulate what I'll do.

You be you and I'll be me. It's really easy.

Why is it so important for you to make me see your point of view? I don't do that to you. I just post on what I believe. I didn't mention you because you are not someone of worth. Why can't you return in kind? cheesy abi Na by force to like EgunMogaji when I'm not jollof rice.

Let them come, you'll read the news next day. Not all of us are cowering sheeple.

My record on here is unblemished and I do what I say.

2 years ago I was looking to buy a plot. I bought two.

I wanted to buy a gate. I did.

I wanted to build an internal courtyard. It's at German floor level.

I wanted to build a garage apartment. It's at roofing level and to be roofed by Monday.

I've given you no reason to doubt me except that it's the juvenile thing to do score with like minded loudmouths.
