spyder880: In business, this is called opportunity, some would see it(1) others won't (2) In ethics and humanities, it is called taking undue advantage and the proponent would ignore the opportunity(3). While you're smiling, the seller is out of business and is crying. Where you take side(1,2 or3) will determine where you'll likely be in this buharinomics. 1 Like |

gbadexy: In most cases, by the time the court issues an order, the relationship between the two parties would have degenerated beyond what you are proposing. It would have taken years before getting to this stage. And there would have been warfare, not just in the courts but physical spiritual psychological verbal etc. Courts are a last resort in 9ja, every other means would have been exhausted. What i do not understand is why would someone rush to erect a building on a land over which there is an unresolved dispute ![]() 1 Like |

allCopacetic: I never use them ooo, I have to start on the Umuahia house soon as the Enugu house will likely get completed soon. On the other matter, the clip in one of the LED fittings I bought en masse for conduit POP light is not strong enough. I called you because I remember your advice on the thread you educated us about how to spot original fittings. Too late after I saw that thread as I bought this batch last year. Anyway, I will call you later this week, need to stock up on other items. Some of the items in my home store pictures came from your stock ![]() |

true2home: I thought he was not serious. I even bought the large batch because I got a new job and cannot afford to hold on to cash in this type of galloping inflation. I never knew it will get real this soon. When he called me to break the news yesterday he was like "do you now believe me?" But we need to warn each other of impending future happenings. Iron rod is set to add some money in the coming days, I am already buying. 1 Like |

mank1234: In this case the seller is not crying because he collected his money with profit and must have bought another batch. Sometimes we leave funds in the hands of dealers who use our funds to trade for upwards of 6 months while we wait for the time to lift our stock when ready for the job. This is borrowing with ZERO interest rate ![]() 4 Likes |

lumidii:You are correct sir, these things aren't as simple as I first thought. I can recollect a story my mum told me some years ago about a case involving her dad and some neighbors about a land and they went to court. The case took so many years but it went in favor of my grand dad and consequently he won the house built on it also. The families were never close after. The owner of the building may decide to demolish the building rather than abandon it for the winner of the case. It's very likely the house was hurriedly built while the land was in contention, possibly based on advise by some ignorant person just as most think building fence or some structure would deter the other party. 2 Likes |

olapluto: It has nothing to do with Govt or even Forex. We live in a country where ANYBODY feels they can just slap ANY PRICE on what they sell and that is it. If Govt tries to control prices (so people sell at a reasonable price based on what they bought), WE the same Nigerians will shout DICTATORSHIP! If Govt says Okay, l wont interfere as you people want market forces to determine price, what we get is GREEDY & EXPLOITATIVE Nigerians taking advantage of each other. As everybody is rushing to buy and STOCKUP, this also creates pressure on the supply and further push the price up: Hoarding So, as we lay our bed, so we will lie on it. NB: Dont pause on your work but you may for the time being, shift expenses to areas that are not skyrocketing, if any! 2 Likes |

That's some serious work there brother. Well done, since you started that duplex and blocks of flats in Ajah back in the days, great things was always coming your way, you start / you finish / all parties are happy / no complaints. That is how it should be, I hope some quack builders are learning rather than calling out on thier niggars on a faceless forum ![]() I have asked some curious questions on your thread. segcymoor: 2 Likes |

Anyone know a website that shows up to date satellite images? Want to check out my land. Google Earth is not up to date. |

msogunro:lol. You can get independent updates on your site by spending 1000 naira on credit for a random person. They will go there and take full pictures and even video for you. If the property is in a big city, you can do this within 24 hours. Plenty people will be willing to take the offer. Google satellite images are the most extensive. |

msogunro:You can: 1) Send N1m to someone. That will cover the cost of hiring helicopter to give you aerial photos and videos. 2) Buy drone from aliexpress for about $750! 3) Tell the person snapping the picture to use a very tall selfie stick and snap so it will look like aerial pix. I invite others who are more ingenious to give their suggestions too. 'There are many ways to kill a bird. Using bomb is one of them - no miss. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Just two days ago a member here was telling me how he wanted to make sure he bought all his plumbing materials before the end of this week cos he had fears of a possible inflation next week in light of the new forex regime and the cement price hike. I was busy reassuring him and emphasizing on the need not to worry that there would hardly be any serious impact in plumbing or electrical. But to my utmost and greatest astonishment prices have escalated in the last 48hrs alone, first it was legrand with 30% on tuesday, and then the calls kept coming. some importers are even putting sale on hold for fear of loosing money in the event of a continued upward trend half of the calls i got today were price change notifications. Infact I was a victim of the market shock reaction today. I was on the veeeeerge of canceling all the orders i already got paid for, it took a lot of considerations, renegotiations and loss absorption . Oga chux u talk am oooo ![]() I hate to be an Alarmist but Folks The Threat is REAL!!! The Panic is setting In. And BELIEVE ME WHEN I TELL YOU , Alot is about to happen in the coming week. Please folks who deal in other materials, do good to share happenings in your market. I think it would be great if we kept a flow of information. |

allCopacetic: Very true. It's about to get very real as my humble supplier is not even ready to sell some plumbing items to me today. I had to scream and later beg before he agreed to get me some quantity. Building cost is about to get higher than we imagined. Everyone should look before they take the plunge of accepting Naira to carry out contracts. The situation is getting frightening. |
