Lagos people, come and hear this one o! ![]() To end the menace of land grabbing in Lagos, I ordered a complete excision on untitled land across the State today. My Thoughts: 1) What has Excision of Undocumented/Untitled (but owned) land, got to do with helping Community and Family land owners? Govt is seriously looking for Money and l am wondering if this is to force owners of such land to come forward and apply for C-of-O, which currently costs much more than the land itself. ![]() 2) Collecting Rent Annually, it is serious wahala for some House Owners, imagine now that they have to go and ask for it, every Month End? Even the Govt is not collecting Monthly Rent in its own built Houses, they just sel it outright. ![]() Anyone who cannot regularly pay an annual Rent (where he has a whole year to plan for the next rent!) will certainly not be able to pay regularly, if asked to pay monthly, especially for Traders/Business People whose cash-flow is unpredictable.

Nero2424: Chicken livers, only capable of making snide remarks but no boldness to actually call out n3xt. You and who is doing juju? For the dear ladies and gentlemen that work for their money: Never be in a hurry to spend big money and don’t forget to pray before making decisions on hefty sums. Respect the money you have worked for by treating it with care and employing wisdom with whom you join business with. As we pray for God to protect our harvest (the fruits of our labor) from the devourer, let us be mindful of the workmen we invite to work on said harvest so that we don’t by ourselves open the door for locusts to ravage our sweat. Season’s greetings! 12 Likes |

On one of my threads, someone asked me why I buy blocks directly from block industries and not making them on site as before. My reasons are what I posted below. 1. Space. You must have enough space in the land you plan to build before you talk of making your own blocks on site. Keeping the sand, and spreading out the blocks you need to make will take some extra space that's not on the build space. It's not every site that has this extra space to play with. There will also be the additional cost of moving and re packing the blocks when you finally want to build. 2. Supervision. Before you conclude on making your own blocks, you have to first ensure that you will be there with the block makers to monitor the way they are making your blocks. Or you have to place a knowledgeable person on site for all the hours the block makers are working. This is to ensure that they use your whole cement to make blocks, and not use 80 bags out of the 100 you bought, because you are not on ground. The extra 20 bags could disappear, and you wont find out. 3. Mix ratios This is the most important matter. The mix ratio of cement to sand and or stone dust, plus water is extremely important. You have to know this, and also ensure that the ratios are applied in every mix, because in your absence, workers will do what is easier for them, without minding what you planned to achieve with your blocks. 4. Turning methods The turning of sand is a process that has been mastered by block industry owners, and except you are knowledgeable about the methods, the block makers will circumvent the process and do what's easier for them, right in front of you. There is a method of turning, and there is a number of times you must mix, and there is a particular moisture content that must be used before your blocks turns out right. How many house owners knows how many buckets of water must be added into a mix of 1 bag, at what intervals should this water be added? 5. How many blocks per bag Do you know that owners of block industries can make 45 - 50 blocks from one bag of cement and it will be stronger than the 28 - 30 blocks you made from your bag of cement at your own site? Do you know there are specific cement brands that gives more yield, do you know that there are some sands that will give you a lower yield of blocks, or blocks that break upon minimum impact? 6. Curing process When are they supposed to start treating the newly made blocks with water, how many times in a day, what water pressure, and at what times of the day should the water be poured on the blocks? Most importantly, who's monitoring this water treatment? We should carefully go through these points and if either one or more of these important processes are breached, your blocks might turn out to be less strong than the ones they make in the block industry. I started buying blocks from trusted hands in the past 10 years after finding out these truths, and as you can see from those pictures, none of the 2,000 blocks offloaded in this site was broken. We are using some of the blocks as seats on site now. Good morning. 11 Likes

BrickDevo: The lounge and dining area which you think is ventilated cos of the number of windows might not be ventilated if that part of the building is on the leeward axis of the land hence the reason why it is adviced to have windows on at least two sides of a space with considerable distance apart the windows. Fenestration is important for thermal comfort in a building, you don't just place windows anyhow you feel like, it has to be thought over. Thanks brickdevo. 1 Like |

nannymcphee: I still put it to you that you do not need an extra staircase in this design. The challenge you have is that the designer has failed to give the stair a proper orientation where visitors won't notice your movement to and fro the build. The issue of emergency egress holds no water, the maximum distance one could travel in need of emergency egress is 30metres. For each of those stairs you have there one won't even cover over 9m from any part of the building and you still think it is necessary. Also factor the cost of having a second stair. 1 Like |
