Some will ridicule, some will grade/rate, etc, but the intent of postings this stuff is to share back to the group. I decided to tile the garage apartment as opposed to continue to wait for an outfit that will agree to do a stained concrete floor for me. Incidentally when we finished the tiling my tiler then informed me that he also does stained concrete - aaarrrrggghhhhhhh I bought tiles that are manufactured by the Chinese in Nigeria. I could have spent days lamenting on finding Italian, Sicillian tiles or whatever and at the end of the day finding out that they were made in Nigeria. My tiler, a Togolese, recommend these tiles, they call them Boko Haram, they are super thick comparable (a few still broke). The tiles are covered with a thin plastic film that is peeled off after install. They are N4,500 per box of 4 (heard they were N3,000 a few weeks back ) If you are a disporian you can go to this facebook page https://www.facebook.com/nicemadeservices/photos/pcb.1207256662698198/1207255289365002/?type=3&theater to pick a design, note the model number (I chose G66025) and then shop online with vendors. Of note is that at N4,500 they were not the cheapest, there're tiles of N2,000 per box out there even in this Buhari period Also of note, there is a clear difference between plans made in the comfort of my air-conditioned home office in California versus the reality of having sweaty balls in Iwo Road Ibadan while arguing vehemently on price with Chucks "GOODWILL CERAMIC COMPANY GOODWILL Holding Group’s headquarters is located in Linhai city, Zhejiang provice; the Group’s business covers chemicals, with total assets of nearly 500 million yuan and annual sales of nearly 10 billion yuan. In Nigeria, GOODWILL ceramics factory is located in Guangdong free trade area, Ogun State. The scale of investment is 30 million USD; foreign employees is 500-1000, and daily production of ceramic tiles is 35,000 m2 making it Nigeria’s largest single production line." 1 Like

EgunMogaji:Thank you Egun. When I wrote last week that my tiller hints me last year, that most of so called Spanish, Italy, tiles are actually made in Nigeria and repackaged as imported. Many may be daunting. Here is another one with headquarters in Ilorin. Pls see the quality for yourself http://padsonindustries.com/our-products/floor-tiles-for-sale-in-nigeria/ |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Flaghouse1: 2:26pm On Feb 17, 2017 |
EgunMogaji: Nice one sir,like I said in my previous post,thank you once again for spending your money in Nigeria instead of importing tiles- our crave for foreign goods has so spoilt us that we can't even take time to research and see if we have complementary or similar quality product within our locale. If all the tile sellers buy local made and sell at reasonable prices rather than passing locally made good as foreign for to unsuspecting customers,greed will reduce in that market hub. Thank you one again 2 Likes |

kopell: This is exactly what my tiler said. Unless one imported the tiles himself from overseas (I won't even debate the source of even those tiles) then one may not know. And when you know it may too late. These bastages are heavy a$$es, at least the 24X24 and once installed with concrete cement then the fat lady has sung. In any case, flooring is just a part of the elements that makes up the totality of the visual experience. Now to move onto paint and then furniture. I'm hoping that my guest will be too busy trying to decide if the chair they're sitting on is leather or pleather that they won't have time to focus on the tiles to see if it's Italian or Chinese 1 Like |

mufutau55: This is the spirit we lack as Nigerians ,spirit of oneness, openness ,and help other persons grow ,oga mufu ,egun mogaji we need To be open as Nigerians assist each other in our task to ensure success for our friends,brothers and relations ,just impressed with oga mufu's assistance as regards paints ,very swift and timely to allow proper planing and execution of task for a brother, A funny thought came to my mind and I believe I need to share this, I am EDO ,egun amd mufu's are Yorubas we need to synergies and assist each other grow despite our ethnic divide, I believe if every individual Nigerian assist in this manner without expecting financial gratification, we would have been able to reduce 45% of our ethic and religious problems in this country.

Flaghouse1:Hajj Muftau has always been most helpful without any expectation. What could we possibly give to him but to continue to pray that God almighty should continue to enlarge his coast. Perhaps I've always been lucky but despite the apparent tribal differences portrayed on nairaland, all the clients from nairaland I've supplied have been extremely nice and wonderful and they cut across the southern divide. You are very correct about hajj helping people to grow. Although I have offline clients, I can say I've enjoyed patronage of nairaland clients and it has helped to stabilize my product brand in the market for pop paint with introduction of budget paints in a few months. The essence of this disclosure is not only to advertise or meant to show off but to let the good people here know they are somewhat instrumental to the success of the regal paint brand and be proud in the knowledge that they were there in the beginning. I will always continue to appreciate oga Muftau and several others that I couldn't list for fear of omission. I have long memory and I pray God continues to provide for you all. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

rotecch77:Pls stop, people can buy what ever they like Spanish, China, Italy, America, Oshodi, Orile coker, Aba, if that is what they like good luck. No one is deceiving anybody here ok. What ever quality you are talking about, can never be more than what we see here everyday. I've seen 1single piece of 12 by12 inch tile selling for $85 each. All I am saying is we need to be proud of what we produced, and stop downgrading the Nigeria made products. We need to encourage them and patronized our products. 2 Likes |

While I do not have any issues with patronising Nigerian business or people on here, a lot of our people seem to have a penchant for lying through their tooth. I did a Solar install for my folks about 6 months ago, I bought Trojan deep Cycle batteries from a friend who lives in the states and got the Inverter/charge controller from the UK here but due to the logistics of getting the panels to Nigeria on Time I opted to buy from a "supposedly solar engineer" on here, after talking to him on the phone for hours and explaining how I like people to stick to their words, he still bloody tried to pull a fast one on me and supplied inferior quality panels . I was disappointed to say the least I explained to him calmly what I think he did and he understood and rectified the situation. This was someone whom I spoke to about how I have come to trust Nigerians less and less based on experienced and they always trying to pull a fast one on you but still went ahead to pull a fast one on me. 4 Likes |

dejavus: No be only you o my oga. Most of these Nigerians have penchant to steal from you. The moment you give them money they just change stories and gear. Imagine talking to someone for several months about how passionately you want something to turn out and after you paid money to achieve that thing, they just start behaving somehow. I live in a society where what you pay for is supplied to you and a society where B is B. I have seen it all. If I lose trust in someone, that person can never gain my trust again. |

@koppell, pls re-check what I wrote, I didnt condemned Nigeria product or downgrade what people purchased, simple point i made there was that Nigeria tiles cant be same as Spanish or Italy or repack and sold as those two countries mentioned, as you all knows I deal in both Nigeria, Spanish, Italian and I do used them plus Nigeria tiles also in my project ....I have sold more than 50,000 square meter of Nigeria made tiles in last 2yrs , so I don't condemned what people used or bought |

rotecch77: @Rotech77, I understand you. We are service providers, and as such we should only focus on the satisfaction of our client's desires and not arguing about the moral, ethical or economic justifications for their choices. I listen to the dictates of a paying client, provide him with a series of samples and allow him make an informed decision, then I ensure their desired tiles are bought and used, my own duty is to ensure that if he says Spanish, I use real Spanish tiles and not some repackaged fakes. Its not for me to urge him to use made in naija products because I dont know what his reasons are for making his choices. @all, choice is a funny thing I have seen plenty in this regard, I have seen guys with multi million naira projects that will say, Spyder just use ordinary tiles for me, whats so special about imported tiles. And yet others will call me and say "if you use anything apart from Spanish and Italian tiles in my house, na police go settle the matter o" I have seen tiles selling for as much as N28,000 for each square meter, and people still use them. I cannot condemn them because I dont know where they are coming from, if someone makes money and wants to spend it, how can I stop him. His spending the money will lubricate the economy, providing jobs and income to more Nigerians, so I rather encourage them. Having said that, I have seen very good samples from both Nigerian and imported tiles.
