Badadvisor: Same madness I'm experiencing in my site in Lagos. These foolish omonile miscreants keep disturbing me even after settling them. The came up with a new scam asking for 1M naira bank draft for the wives of the person that sold land to us even after paying those fees 20 years ago when my dad bought the land. This is because the main owner of the land has died. The 1M they are asking from people currently working on their site is different from their foundation, German floor, decking, and roofing levy. The annoying thing is that when u pay the money no receipt or anything. Because those omonile people keep changing government. One person may be in charge today, tomorrow another person takes over. They even go to the extent of hiring thugs to use weapon to disturb site owner's. I was at work one day when I was called and informed that one of the miscreants came to my site and scattered the work my carpenter did and even threatened to kill my carpenter if he continues to work for me. Unfortunately no reasonable agency in Lagos State government looks into it. I'm devastated and clueless on what to do. Because of this omonile rubbish I have decided to abandon my plan of buying more lands in Lagos to build. I plan to go invest in the state capital of my state of origin. The amount of money I have spent to build my 5 flat 1 storey building in Lagos, if I had taken that money to the state capital of my state of origin, it will comfortably build me a 2 storey building. 3 Likes |

BrickDevo:Bro i used the crypto money to buy this land. The ethereum i have been holding for almost 3 years. I actually planned abandoning the gating for the main time because i already spent all the money i set aside for this project. I would complete only the fencing. The gating will wait until next year 1 Like |

neduboo:Bro it's really crazy. Spent almost 400k now just to settle local government and indigens meanwhile i just intend fencing and gating it I'm yet to begin anything meaningful yet with the two plots. I'm dead tired. I'd leave the gating until next year because all these unexpected expenses made scattered my plans. |

Badadvisor: Can yyou imagine? It's really saddening. The annoying thing is that they will keep coming even after settling them. Once u pay them and they change their current oga/head, u will repay again once a new person enters. Once u start building proper they will still come again 1 Like |

neduboo: I have never experienced this in Enugu. Nobody dare return to my site after I have settled the community and is holding the community receipts. Follow these steps below. 1. Buy your land. 2. Move into the land as soon as possible 3. Clear the land 4. Dump one trip of sand and one trip of stone on, or very close to the land 5. Send 2 guys to start doing an excavation on the land, then stand back and watch 6. The youths will come, the fakes and the real ones 7. Make your enquiries about who the real ones are, visit them in their houses 8. Ask of their administrative structure and find out who is head 9. Engage the head man and find out the fees 10. Pay the fees and obtain your receipt. Every community in Enugu town has a receipt. I have never seen where the youths of same community will return after being paid, except the money wasn't paid to the right people who owns the land. Community development levies in Enugu are paid once, and for the life of the project, they dont usually come back again even if the government changes. They can only introduce other payments like the security levies which they use to pay security guards. However, if you stop work and abandon the site for a long period of time, say 2 to 5 years, the people will come back when you resume and ask for more money, even insisting that you pay again (they will be arguing that the land has been sold to another person, and the new man must settle them afresh) But in the end, a good negotiating skill will save you a lot of money. Welcome them when they come, smile often, but be firm. Ask to meet them in their area, maybe a local pub. Get to know them, collect numbers and assure them of your partnership with them for future business. Some of these guys are really nice people when approached right. I have seen cases where my payment was lowered because of the way I approached them. 5 Likes |

n3xt: Bros, mud houses in 2021? ![]() Anyway, we should think alternative methods of doing this, but when all we build is upstairs and multi dwelling units, it make it difficult to use alternatives because of the type of building involved. For us to succeed with alternative building methods, our structural engineers and architects must start the process from the design stage of the building. The foundation all the way to the frame of the building must be planned to accommodate alternative building technologies. 1 Like |

spyder880: Just 2 days ago, I got a call from LafargeHolcim (one of the largest producer of cement in Africa). They wanted a storey building completely designed and built with Lightgauge steel. My last 2 projects had Fibre cement Cladding that reduced the need for cement. Just yesterday, I found and decided to experiment polystyrene ceilings. The prices are very interesting and friends. It’s lightweight and also very easy to use. I was able to pull an over 300sqm suspended ceiling within 72 hours because I wasn’t doing the conventional pop installation. I’ve shared picture of a gate column built by the Chinese in 2014. It has no single concrete and they were all tiled with 60 x 120 tiles. The structure is still standing today without any sign of visible defect. The world is constantly evolving. We need to move with time. Pic 1-4 | Polystyrene Ceiling 1 Like

I have the option of using steel or concrete to make a cross in my ongoing project but I went for something different (lightweight, cleaner, cheaper and faster to build).

bolu1986: Yeah but the true measure of success is how much time we’re able to save whilst achieving top quality finish and not how much money. Often times, we use our time to save more money instead of using our money to save more time. Then the project drags and inflation set in and eventually the project get stalled or abandoned. If you compare the difference, the cost is really not that much but the time spent can’t be compared if it’s a large scale project. 3 Likes 1 Share
