Hello, why waste time and effort responding to a verified 'thief'? He CAN'T and WILL NEVER refund you a dime, not even his cohorts 'drooling' and saying there is a 'flow in discussion'.

If anyone here believes he is anything less than a thief, then the person should as well pay part of the money on his behalf, after all he has paid for others from stolen funds to decieve the gullible.

Imagine!, so petty to as low as a submersible pump!..wetin?! Indeed some people are 'cursed'.


My promise is to make sure no one else falls for his trap on this thread. So once he start "advertising", I will flash his past on his face.

Orange actually

Orange is beautiful.

I saw orange loved it, and decided to do red.

That's a color that makes a statement because it's uncommon.

Nice work, client's decision or your recommendation?

Now, I am really pissed off! U called and begged me but u come here and talk? Do u want me to even post pictures of your work? The fact that someone got injured at my site is not my issue, do you know what I went through before I earn that money? Do u know if I was injured in the process? I didn’t say anything more since yesterday, u crying for 40k, maybe u forgot how much I paid u in the past for the roof that leaked several times how much I paid for windows with imported materials instead of the Tower brand I paid!

If I were u, I will stop now! Or I will begin to post pictures of your work and let’s see who will help u pay then! Or who would have accepted the mess I accepted with u!!!
the guy is coming to ur site tomorrow to rectify the area u complained for, dats what I can say for now thanks,

Hello people on the forum. I started earlier this year 6 blocks of 2 and 3 bedrooms. I hired an architect. Did the drawing. Paid all necessary dues to authorities and I kicked off. I have met some challenges but it's going. I am not the type that put myself out their so much or post what I am doing but I think I will at this stage because I am confused.

I will start with a couple of pictures.

NB : I do not live in Nigeria and My relatives are handling the project while I pay the builder who happens to be an architect with experience. We agreed on all labour cost.

I contacted a guy named Arinze (from nairaland) for bill of quantities but in 2021. At the moment the bill of quantities just looks like its not useful. Because a lot doesn't align with what the builder mentioned.
this is Nigeria, many factors comes into place when e reach to buy materials, don't blame the Qs, because he is not the one buying it, rather endure and pray you don't see more than you can bear. More grace.

Before we started, we bought 4 trips of 30 tons size four granite down. When engineer arrived to start work, the first thing he said was that he can never use size four granite for foundation. We had to immediately make arrangement for another 3 trips of size 5 granite. The size four was later used for the two stages of deckings. Building is a journey, many thing will happen right from start. A lot of reserves must be kept standby.

true, people should also know that there are two types of 30 tons, the one that is filled to the brim but then leveled or flattened another one is the type filled and overfilled to have a mountain top like shape.

I saw a post where somebody was complaining about the size of a 30 ton granite.

Labor is the cheapest thing you can get in Nigeria. Earning in pounds, euro, dollar gives an added advantage. Some of the fights for 5k, 20k, 40k, is equivelent to fight for a piece of burger that cost $10 plus

It's sad. And someone with conscience would even think in the direction of obtaining free labour. I keep saying it, most people here are without conscience.

My conscience pricks when I pay $50 to mowe my lawn just once which they do in less than 20mins and pay equivalent amount to have a laborer work for 10days on my site in Nigeria at 2500 Naira pay day.

It is just what makes me human. Conscience.

It is a known fact here. Nothing new, nothing to brag about. My mates I left in Nigeria are doing better.
You wonder why people with conscience boycott products from sweatshops.

Conscience is what makes humans different from animals.

They might be right. We bought 30 tons from Okigwe for #320k last 6 months. Distance from the quarry to your site would determine price. Moreover diesel is expensive now.

Alright... I will be enduring!
