EgunMogaji: Please don't blame the man ooo,with wetin dollar and pounds dey talk now I don't think its worth it importing those items for now,however if you can get good quality materials here why import,let's grow our trading economy and allow our brothers over here to make some income. I believe when oga egunmogaji want to build his main house in banana island all this gizmo him don talk about him go import them and use them there . Let us commend this man now he has opened our eyes to other building alternatives which we are not aware of like the water piping he showed us video of,though may be difficult to adopt here as over there they have strict building codes and ethics which we may not adhere to achieve optimal performance Just my own contribution!!! 6 Likes |

Flaghouse1: Thanks for the bolded. I reasoned with Senator Bruce and his #BuyNaijaGrowNaira initiative a few months ago. I'm having fun on my build. I even went to an art gallery and stocked up on some naija made artwork. Talk about putting the cart before the horse |

EgunMogaji: Oga, do you have any information about where to get contemporary/modern furniture in Ibadan/Lagos? I'm willing to buy naija to grow naija but I'm running out of time coz none that I've seen so far meets my standard. |

I must say that some of us looked into the alternatives and try to implement them, but after much effort and dealing with our societal constraint, it was only wise to do what's traditional and implement new methods where do able. The Fx thing, also a deterrent. Some items you see abroad for, say $200, if you can look pass the New Brand, there are functional alternative already from Euro that are like #50K. So if you do he conversion, its not worth the headache of custom. Flaghouse1: |

true2home:True2home, We cannot afford the luxury of wasting foreign exchange now, whether euro or dollar irrespective of the conversion factor or indices, to be candid with you despite the societal constraints we still have artisans that will give something close or better than the imported items we so crave for. The attached picture is my sitting room furniture ,done by some guy in lagos since 2008, I doubt you will believe it's not imported, we have the manpower capacity to deliver quality goods and services but the government over the years has not provided the enabling environment to elevate us from the present state of under development we are in 1 Like

Flaghouse1:Now that is the dumbest shyt i have heard in a long time....do you even listen to yourself....AT ALLL?? stop kissing so much as$$... your breathe is starting to smell of shyt. So...who rationalizes exactly?...the one who made mockery of local options and building methods, only to revert to the same which are supposedly not good enough? If you had the capacity to absorb and rationalize my comments, you would have deduced that the joke is on those who thought nothing of local content or should i say pretended to ....In the name of what? This isnt about exchange rates or rising costs. Or local or international standards. No matter the economy of the jungle, the lion cannot eat grass. this is about thinking you're suddenly above others because you manage to cross the Atlantic and you're managing to eke a living in some forgotten borough somewhere.... Attempting to innovate and challenge the norm is one thing, Making empty noise all over the place and blowing hot air just for self aggrandizement is another. Get yo shyt togeda my friend and stop being a wuss I see your follow @egunmogaji ... , you want to enter Pisani labyrinth ? 11 Likes |

Commonsense101: Common sense 101 I will appreciate you take back that statement of 'ass licking " for the records I have not met egunmogaji before or ask him for a favor for me to tow his line of thoughts, Even if he has criticized our local expertise and finally made a u -turn to embrace it ,do you for once ask yourself why he had a change of mind, Food food thought 6 Likes |

Flaghouse1: Hello sir! Infact i couldn't agree more with you. I know one thing and I can argue it with any Oyinbo man any day any time. The day we Nigerians can take Furniture and wood works serious, coupled with an enabling manufacturing environment, Nigeria can start exporting wood works and furniture Overseas. Because we have the raw Materials and we have the Labour. 1 Like 1 Share |

skimanski: Thanks bro, The truth be told our government over the years have failed the people, take for example if you are familiar with Benin-URUBI,USELU DAWSON RD et-al,The quality furniture produced in these area are superb with good craftsmanship ,what stops the state government from creating a furniture hub within that area t o improve the lives of the people and in same vein aid exportation of these furnitures for foreign exchange earnings for the state |

I carry yansh for you landlords o. One house in from of my mums, the owner evicted her tenants. When legally didn't work she had feces sprayed inside the house - a face me I face you type. Anyways the tenants left but one promised her that she won't live to see the middle of the month. She died in her sleep two days ago, only 50 or so years old. Now me as an educated Londoner knows it's probably an underlying medical condition that's untreated but the buzz in the hood is not to rent to the ijeshas |

mufutau55: The story related to that picture isn't that of robbery or stealing. It is KIDNAPPING. The Secretary of ISECOM was kidnapped. The gun men were about 20 in number and they operated from 10 till about 2 am. Three people including an estate security guard, 2 OPC guards attached to the man were killed. A burglary proof, CCTV, even a gun, cannot deter these kind of people. 2 Likes |
