twinskenny: Ejire, it's not about recommendation but by funneling the money through your account. I give recommendations too but I always add Caveat Emptor. Had you said "Oga mi the guy worked very well on my job and I recommend him based on that but please do your own due diligence o." You'll have been cleared up.

somehow: Everywhere you turn, you’d almost hit a brick. - Hausas now ride Okada instead of doing labour work. The hausa labourers you‘d see today are inexperienced and very lazy Hausas. The first thing you’ll hear from them is “How mush I go pay?” - Because of the increase in demand for their service, Togolese & Cotonou artisans now use apprentice for their jobs. - Yorubas now do Yahoo+ and Cultism - Igbo artisans would rather do jobs that pays more. N2,500 per day is really not cutting it anymore for most of these guys. 6 Likes |

Jasobry: Naa so we se am oo. Actually I'm not fans of very low quality paints. Every year you keep repainting. Like I quoted up there ,this project is dulux finishing paint. Since 2017,The external still look like newly painted building. But by using far low quality paint that flooded mkt now, believe me be ready to repaint every now and then. Then check how much it will cost you to do this at all time till you get tired of it. 2 Likes

n3xt:Oga, you are 10000 pec right on this. Just last week my friend paid 4000 for Labour, just one Labour ooo per day for concrete work. Infact I don’t know how to give Labour cost again in each region. Same thing happened to me in eastern part in one of our ongoing project ..plastering A Labour demands for 5k per day. The demand choke the client. Until we import Labour from the far 50-60km from the site project … that still collected 3-3500 per day. 1 Like |

n3xt:Nothing lasts forever. A good paint should last 5 years upwards. The paint on the building in the picture below is over 5 years old and it's medium grade emulsion.

dapotemi: For future reference, regarding the digging of soakaway, DO NOT commission just one wo/man to dig your soakaway. It is strange to me when I read your experience and realized you used just ONE hand. The chance that the single hand will be overwhelmed leading to site abandonment is very high. I have never used less than FOUR hands in digging soakaways. No site abandonment and the Job done in about four hours with pure water breaks and chit chat in-between. The attached photo was done by four men for 60k. Guys if you want to dig a sizeable soakaway, commission a minimum of two hands to at least prevent site abandonment. Site abandonment is very high with lone rangers. 5 Likes

diordaves: This ain’t digging. This is excavation. The ground shown in the image you shared is as soft as Lekki/Ajah Ground where we use shovel to excavate up to 5m. I think you need to see hard ground in Abeokuta or Ibadan where you need to blast rocks or soak the ground for days before digging. That’s exactly the type of ground we are talking about. #hardground |
