We continue with our series, cost of building materials in Nigeria.

Today let us look at the cost of cement and blockwork

A cement is a binder, a substance used for construction that sets, hardens, and adheres to other materials to bind them together. Cement is seldom used on its own, but rather to bind sand and gravel together. Cement mixed with fine aggregate produces mortar for masonry, or with sand and gravel, produces concrete

Blockwork is construction with concrete or cement blocks that are larger than a standard clay or concrete brick. To make them lighter and easier to work with they have a hollow core that also improves their insulation capacity.

You can always check for prices on Jiji or cheap suppliers

I was able to compare prices from Jiji and a few websites too

When you ask a girl tell me your hobbies, she will open her mouth and say traveling and shopping, don't you have any other hobbies that does not cost money, like sleeping trekking or crying �

Close up toothpaste now N500
Something of N120 six years ago.
Garri used to be the cheapest commodity in Nigeria, now a whole day pay on construction site can't afford you garri.

Where I transported with N100 7 years ago, N500 can't take me there and back.

If as a single guy 100k can't meet my daily needs for a month in this current Nigeria, then I wonder how civil servants with 5 kids coping, Nigeria is dying and the youths are quiet.

I heard them saying "even if a cup of garri is sold at 5k, God will still provide for his children".... You all fail to realize that the only reason you are safe in your house, place of worship or in your workplace is because there are still people out there who can afford garri. When we get to the stage whereby 90% can't no longer afford to buy a satchel pure water, then you'll realize what humans/animal first instinct is.

Let's all keep quiet, blame and wail without action and watch these folks who by nature all have less than 20/30 years max before they join their ancestors.

Our posterity will question us, just as we question our ancestors.

Umm. I still remembered vividly when sand was 10k just few years ago. And minimum wage was 18k at the time. Now the sand and even bag of rice is more than the minimum wage. Tell me how would a poor man build a house.

In china 50kg cement is around N500. To me why would china not develop it cities.
