michlins: Story of one show off I did recently and the reason it pays to do big things. When I started my house, some of the blocks were hand made on site. On one occasion, the tipper that was bringing the sand made a big pothole along the untarred public road across from the opposite neighbor, who is a carpenter in the village. He is younger than I am and has built a 3 bedroom bungalow. They are the big boys around. The next thing is, he came to warn the block makers never to follow that route again and said "his mates are buying blocks why can't he buy, na by force to build house" referring to me. He only had the gut to take that action and be so disrespectful, to say what he said because all these while, he had the impression of me, that I am one of those not doing well abraodians. All because I was living a conservative lifestyle, it is called "see finish". They called me and told me. I did not take any action. Fast forward to when the house got to roofing stage under a few months, they called me again and said he come and was pleading to have the wood work contract. He must has seen the extent of work and humbled himself. I told them that if he enters the compound again, they should call police on him. That is how to shame your enemies. Don't make noise, just "show your work." 12 Likes |

Focusmind:what is important is whether or not your uncle enjoyed his time living in the house. If he did,it has served its purpose. Whether or not people are living in it currently makes no difference to the patriarch who built it. He's gone and resting 2 Likes |

I want to believe the point here is the craze to show that I have arrived thereby leading to all manner of crime and whatnot. Why do people want to make money? The "popular" purpose is telling on our environment and society at large. 13 years old buying a benz 30 years old killing his younger brother of 21 years with advise from his mother for money rituals. The craze to show that I have arrived..... 8 Likes |

somehow: Wrong! You guys are getting it wrong, a criminal will always be a criminal, stop making it seem people only turn to crime just because they want to build houses. Don't you think you're seeing the I HAVE ARRIVED syndrome from a wrong side, what about ppl who made legitit money, won't they show they have arrived? 1 Like |

DrGoodman: Unfortunately, you're not communicating with this mindset. Share your view, no need thinking other's views are wrong. There are 2 or more sides to all issues or you don't think so? No one said everyone made their monies illegitimately. The point I want to believe some are pushing is that building to show that you have arrived or to pepper others is actually pushing those who never knew how you made your money into trying by any means possible to "outdo" you. Build because you want to and because it gives you fulfillment, not because you wish to make others envy or worship you. If you have actually made enough money legitimately, trust me, you don't even need to prove you have. The world will surely know. There are people you haven't seen their homes but obviously have heard of them being rich and all that. A successful man does not need to "pepper" anyone to prove that he's successful, it will naturally tell. 17 Likes |

michlins: Where did I imply or suggest that everyone that shares your mindset must be into illegitimacy? You should go back and read my first post on the topic. You and your crew have repeatedly made it clear that peppering people is the driving intention, anything else is secondary to that. This is not even the first time I’ve seen your post where you said something similar. We both know our mindsets are worlds apart. Your comments about the female child, of which I am one, makes that double glaring. Here’s a piece of advice - you do you and I will do me. I don’t recall trying to convince you not to build the tallest house in the village so go right ahead while I make my own comments. No need to be triggered 8 Likes |

somehow: Thank you for spelling this out for him, I was not going to waste a single alphabet responding to him. They have started to add salt and pepper to my comments so that they can attack a narrative that I did not espouse. That was after trying to introduce tribal sentiments as if I did not mention the things my Yoruba people do. 5 Likes |

One of my sitting room wall is allign with a dwarf existing perimeter fencing such that a thin space (2 inches) was created in-between the wall. Of course, my sitting room is higher than the dwarf perimeter fence hence external plastering was done to prevent weather effect. But each raining season, the interior surface finishing of my sitting room get moist, develop fungi and peel off surface finishing overtime. I had to repaint the surfaces at the end of each raining season. I've filled the in-between wall spaces with broken block & mortar but yet it didn't stopped the moisture on the interior surface. Can cement screeding of the interior surface be a solution? Or is there any water repellant paint that you can recommend? Please, I need your professional advice and thank you in anticipation of your kind response. |
