wanaj0: Nigeria is not that backward as you think. People in the engineering sector know very well the importance of scaffolding, rigging and certifications. You don't expect anyone not in that sector to have awareness of these. Lastly, what is the relationship between scaffolder and riggers? 4 Likes |

oyb: We submitted for Nigerian passports back in mid-January in Ibadan for my Wife and Daughter. We're at the end of March and no passports yet. And I paid more than the official price. So my Wife is asking me what exactly was the extra money for. Initial story was that they are out of books, then it was that Buhari was out of the country and needed to sign something, now he's back and still no passports. |

EgunMogaji: I paid a 'consultant' for speedy driver lic. It took 10 months I had the same issue with passport We have engaged different lasg Consultants' ( officers with side businesses). You pay top dollar, and they still cannot guarantee everything. Worse they keep mum about booby traps so they can charge more down the line.

amanikondo: I think that it's just in general. Think about it, we're paying someone to do a job that we already paid for either with taxes or by direct fee. I was planting a basketball pole once at my corner property and the HOA did not approve it because they were confused about which side of the street I faced. I argued that I can't face two streets and one street must be a side street. So we ended up at city council. The city council member wanted to stop by and see first hand the issue. The day he came to inspect, my Wife offered him a drink. He refused and said that it's a conflict of interest and might be seen as swaying his judgement. I hope we can reach this state one day at home. |

EgunMogaji: Okay. Me I have given up. If you take the money, just deliver the services. Apart from this, it seems some are out for blood. I have been sold a land in Ogombo for 2.5 Million whereas the person bought it for me paid 1M for the land. I sold the land after 5 years for 1.8M. |

amanikondo: So in your quest to buy a plot of land, you've effectively bought one and a half plot for a leech. And the diaspora see this all over the building/property trade. So you think you are building a modest structure back in Nigeria through a home based not knowing that home based is building a mansion for himself through you. Yes building a structure in Nigeria may be expensive but the rapacious, inherent and perversive fraud is well over 50 percent of the final cost. No building in Nigeria is not expensive, fraud is. 6 Likes |

Even though they knew I came to Naija once or twice a year, imagine people that don't have the opportunity to travel to see the progress of their projects. My experience today is a story of another time, many of them think we pick money on trees they will start comparing the amount we get paid with theirs. They forget their rent for 1 year or more is what people pay here monthly. 4 Likes |

@spyder880 and all the construction gurus in the house, please help me out. I am doing the wordwork for roofing my 8 all ensuite bed room duplex. Now my builder has sent me this quote for the plumbing work and electrical work. Please look at the quote and let me know whether it is within range, especially the labour costs. I plan to discuss it with him this afternoon and would appreciate your views before I meet him. You can see from the time I am making this post that I have not been able to sleep since he sent this quote. I don't really have time to go to the market to check these prices, I will allow him buy if the prices are not way off. The site is in Enugu.

Onyema1: What! This quote for only your house or for the whole houses on your street or town? I stopped reading when I saw 55 bundles of electrical pipes, that should be enough for at least 7 big duplexes. The workmanship is wayy to much, and he still added supervision to it. I don't think I have bought up to 50 bundles of pipes in this whole 3 decking slabs,two flats on a floor, and wall conduit piping. And the workmanship for piping here is about N180,000 for the whole house. Renegotiate the whole quote. Be very firm bros 6 Likes
