twoMcfemad:I will advise painting of walls at all times. Very easy to change wen the appearance becomes boring. If you had introduced different elements to the approach view the look will be fantastic when the colours are combined. Tiles too can be used for little finishes like column's(pillar) base. |

twoMcfemad: Use bricks for the front. The South African bricks if you have the money. Natural bricks makes the house look distint. Combine painting some portion of the walls white and some natural bricks not tiles. 1 Like |

Focusmind: Good one. I have seen this somewhere and it looks so good. Budget is tight as its a kobokobo project as Hajj M would say. What of those Quarry stones, common in Abeokuta? Can it replace the bricks? Or do we have those bricks here at kobokobo cost? 2 Likes |

twoMcfemad: Sure. Natural stones and bricks anytime for me. Get those Abeokuta/Ondo stones, break them to different pieces and sizes and get a good baba Lati to finish the work. You would like the natural feel of the building. Note also that those stones are not cheap except if you are residing within the SW states. If you have access to those stones and they come cheap to you, you may decide to cover a greater percentage of the wall areas with stones. The feel will be everlasting - come rain, come shine, it remaineth the same. Natural stones and bricks will always make your building to stand out. Whoever passes your street will always take a second look at the building. 1 Like |

yinkaoke: The chair should somehow mirror the curtain or blind or even the centre rug and not necessary the paint on the wall. What type or colour of the curtain are you going to use? It is also a determining factor. However, dark chocolate leather or sued carton can go with this. |

princenomics: I spoke with few Baba Láti and Baba Muideen. My preliminary findings has it that it was these Big stones that were crushed at the quarry site to make granite. Hence, the granite suppliers could also get these stones, and the bricklayers will now break them into suitable sizes for fixing. I wish I can see pictures of where it was recently done... cc: Focusmind 1 Like 1 Share |

Few days ago, my pet project, https://www.kobocity.com, was drawn into disrepute when someone questioned our very existent. While I tried as much as I could to remain calm, I was accused of being the same person as brabus, n3xt and as being a fraud the the same fellow, Mmotimo. Kobocity was birthed on 29th December, 2020 when someone tried to derail this lovely thread; we went live on 1st January 2021. Here is how it began https://www.nairaland.com/2550211/general-topic-thread-to-discuss-anything/1875#97540059 To this moment, the project is open to all to join. It's a community, we can all be proud of. (naijapal is an account I, mank1234, created for the purpose of promoting the project). I excused myself from kobocity for few days in preparation for a possible shutdown of the platform. I can announce that Kobocity will not be shutdown. It won't. The many thank you I have received this far is enough motivation to keep it running. I am motivated by the need to serve; my definition of success aligns with Ralph Waldo Emerson's definition of success. I want a platform where everyone is respected, and discussion flows without the usual rancor we experience here. I did promise to make my position known after I do my own investigation. Based on the information available in this thread and others I could referenced, I couldn't establish that n3xt defrauded anyone (however, in one instance, he recommended someone who did). In my opinion, his major undoing in most of the cases was accepting to refund the complainants when it's not his fault only to halt the refund. Pertinent questions for his accusers: *if you recommend someone to do a work for Mr A and the person fails to deliver, should you be saddled with the responsibility of refunding? *if Mr A gives you the go ahead to do a job and he later decide he doesn't want it again, will you refund for a job already done? *as someone posted earlier, which fraudster put all his personal information out there willingly and knowingly? To n3xt, I don't believe that any contractor is fighting you. The issues you failed to nib in the bud is; It doesn't mean that other contractors don't have issues but probably they've learnt the act of conflict management/resolution. Anyone doing a search of your profile would reach the same conclusion as your accuser if the person doesn't read through correspondences. It's my last post on this. Note:I won't reply quotes of this. 1 Like 1 Share |
