The more we get to this issue, the more we add to the burning fire and detail this thread. Lets sleeping dog lie please. We are tired of this matter.

If you look at previous page, sleeping dog refused to lie.

When we run away from solving issues like this we only end up leaving room for comments on same issues from every angle thus distracting the essence of this thread.

In the absence of moderation, the best we can do is to step in and mediate.

I understand you bro, but the truth is : he acted like a thief tho he is just an ordinary fraudster.
I just hate when an idiot thinks he can bully or intimidate someone.

Beware of @Stanley000 oh, he is a petty thief cheesy

I think it's wrong to call him a thief. Let's learn to use the right word. Let's forget his unruly behaviour/post and focus on the contract.

The drawing is poor but amendable. His is not the first drawing to be criticised. Drawings from big firms have been criticised before.

The terms of contract wasn't well spelt out by both parties. In such a situation disagreement is bound to happen. At the end both party feels he has done more than enough.

To salvage, the situation, both parties should present 1) what was agreed 2) what has been done and 3) ehat is yet to be done.

I hate it when irrelevant conflicts/disagreements that doesn't add value is made to drag on for days.

A friend of mine thought he got a deal, 100k for everything inclusive. By the time he got to know what they were doing on site it was too late. They constructed a bathroom 4 ft by 4 ft, a pillar in the middles of a bedroom, no concentration for ventilation. He ended up pulling the entire building down.

You my friend are very wise , more stocks in your store

In times like this , If you are doing buying and selling ,, most of your funds should be in the goods you are selling , always move funds quickly back into the commodity you are selling

If you are into manufacturing, most must be in Raw materials and packaging materials , I have never had as much stock of RM and PM as I have today in the 30 years history of our company

This is the right and wise thing to do at a time like this. Unfortunately, this puts more pressure on the supplies pushing prices further up. And eventually, your stock will still finish and you'll still go back to the market. Even the manufacturers are affected too cos they have to buy raw material.

I'm seeing shops in my area not able to stock up to their usual level because they can't buy the same quantity to sell as before.

This issue is a dicey one. Real estate may store value but how easily can it be liquidated? With the rate of inflation skyrocketing, a house valued at N100m may stay months or even years in the market without buyers. I watched a documentary about some folks who had their houses listed for sale about 5 years ago without buyers even after heavy discounts. If owners want to match rent to high cost of building materials, their units will remain vacant because income is not rising with inflation.

The situation in Nigeria now is a very big challenge even for Economists.
/
It's not a big challenge for economist but for a government that doesn't want to engage professionals.
Secondly, our population growth is not sustainable. Our boarder is like ant hole. Any Tom dick and Harry can come in putting more pressure on the already insufficient resources.
Thirdly, less than 5% of the population are enjoying the resources of all though looting. Funny thing is most of this loots ends up in foreign countries.

Again, our inflation is 3 fold. 1) Imported - increase in prices in other countries are translated here because we are heavily import dependent. 2)exchange rate - self defeating policy. No matter how you CBN adjust the rate, black market rate will always give it gap. Between last week and today, CBN has not made any adjustment in rate other than a website figure update, so what's fuelling the increase other? 3)greed - people want to make astronomical profit, forgetting that they too also depend on the market for other stuff.
It's a rat race.

Someone posted this topic and picture about Owerri: https://www.nairaland.com/6543917/despite-security-shortcoming-owerri-still

My point is; have a look at the attached picture and the quality of houses in the street and look at the quality of the road. My question is, can't the landlords corporate and tar the road? They look well off enough going by the quality of the houses. Why wait for an ineffective government? I find this scenario all over Nigeria which is limiting property value. Tar the road yourselves!!!

Why tar the road when we can buy the biggest car with state of the art auxiliary gear that can come out of that mud unscathed?

You beat me to it:

Management of Dangote Cement Plc has said yesterday that the price of its product per bag from the factory was between N2,450 in Obajana and Gboko, and N2,510 in Ibese, inclusive of VAT.

The clarification came against the backdrop recent insinuations that the company sells cement in Nigeria at significantly higher prices relative to other countries, particularly Ghana and Zambia.

Dangote’s Group Executive Director, Strategy, Portfolio Development & Capital Projects, Devakumar Edwin, who gave the clarification at an interface with journalists in Lagos, revealed that while a bag of cement sells for an equivalent of $5.1, including VAT in Nigeria, it sells for $7.2 in Ghana and $5.95 in Zambia ex-factory, inclusive of all taxes.

ALSO READ: Dangote Is Selling Cement For 1,150 Naira In Zambia

He said that though the company has direct control over its ex-factory prices, it could control the ultimate price of cement in the market.

According to him, it is important to distinguish Dangote’s ex-factory prices from prices at which retailers sell cement in the market.

I've always maintained that the government is to blame in all of this whether dangote or retailers raise the price too much. We have a body saddled with the responsibility of protecting consumers. What is the function of consumer protection council (CPC)?

Thanks for clarifying the information. I thought you brought from china and an item was shipped from Dubai to Nigeria. That's what I mean by transshipment. I had a very bad experience last year October during pandemic lockdown, I imported complete bathroom, kitchen, and other items for a friend, because he insisted he wanted American standards from China. After paying for everything, I instructed them I'm shipping to Nigeria which created problems between me and the manufacture. At the end of the day they obliged to my instructions, the items are half the size of the container. The agents did whatever they had to do and delivered the items February this year. To cut the story short, always try to buy full container to save money when your items are going to Lagos. When the items landed in Lagos it created another issue with the customs and the agent. At the end of the day, the clearing fees is about same as clearing the entire container. lesson learn

I have items I want to get from alibaba, the agent said 1cfm is 100k NGN. Will the cost of clearing 1cfm still be equally to cost of clearing 1 container?

An apology, even to one aggrieved person, goes a long way and I say that without taking anything away from all those that suffered losses. I will take that apology as a sign of repentance. The average Nigerian would tell you different but I can assure you that only truly big men and women can say “sorry” and “I forgive.”

@3strikes I'll suggest a solution to the challenge you're facing with that roof. Even if you use 1million gauge roofing sheet, it will still leak at the overlap points in the hidden roof when the volume of water is much (rain from top roof + rain at hidden roof).
1) the slope at the hidden roof is not right
2) a gutter t the top roof, with collection outside the the hidden roof, will reduce the volume of water at the hidden roof.

Obviously it is a campaign to tarnish his image.
It is obviously a campaign

He said brabus used 0.33 thickness
And nobody produces those thickness

This is obviously a case of

Brabus delivering what a client wanted and it ended up backfiring.


Cos from all these stories

Client wanted a particular design which brabus knows will end up spoiling the whole project. Brabus still went ahead to do it.

I will blame brabus here.
No b everything wey client want, na him dem dey do.
If you can't do it
Walk away.


If that work is going to cause health or any other form of hazard na so you for enter am because you were trying to do what man wanted.

Secondly
3strikes is just looking for revenge.
From the screenshot you posted earlier, you lied.
At no point did abdulwatex affirmed that brabus used 0.33
Na you talk am. And you were clearly wrong as there is no 0.33.

But the blame is on brabus.
You compromise on standard
Because you were trying to satisfy your client.
Try to dey walk away sometimes.
Once you know say these kind thing go bring issues that touch

I know there was a period there where steptiles were leaking due to faulty dice. Some builders stopped using step tiles or at least went to the higher gauges.

Back then sha.

Is this to say, there used to be 0.33 gauge back then and they stopped producing after a while?
