EgunMogaji:Yes, 80percent of what I used in my build in Nigeria are all made in Nigeria, funny enough, its been years now and they are working at optimal, I will always go like that in my subsequent build, as long as you give it a good finishing, people will hardly spot the difference, come to think of it, if you refuse to visit me because my tiles are locally made, l don't really care, it is my house and it is meant for me and my immediate wife and kids to enjoy, I am not building to impress anybody, I build at my pace and satisfaction ![]() 2 Likes 1 Share |

AngelicBeing:bros abeg u dey enter my mind at bold? Seriously thinking if we can go back to our masters Because obviously we didn't fight for independence because we know anything about self governance We fought for independence out of sheer greed See how Awolowo & Enahoro were training men because they weren't allowed absolute access to rule the nation. As soon as the whitemen left everything crumbled.... I see u fit see Nigeria on sale for ebay anytime soon & that means going back to our masters. Our apprenticeship never finish before we run ![]() We need to complete it...because we know nothing about self governance as a nation. That is why i just they pity for these biafran people...When i see south sudan, i just remember them....hmmm... 2 Likes |

kopell: u are right. just talking about the way things are makes me sick. please, I know we have talked about this before but let's look at it again: what is the cost implication of using gypsum ceiling in relation to PVC n the other ceiling board. thank you |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 8:50pm On Aug 03, 2017 |
yak: Okay, I stopped tracking cost on my site. I would always use POP in my house because it's the closest to gypsum board that I coudl find in Nigeria. According to Hajj, who incidentally is not an Architect, Engineer or Astronaut, it's probably best to forgo PVC and just do POP based on cost of the original PVC. Hajj, please let me know if I misquoted you, Sir. |

EgunMogaji: You are exactly right... if you intend to use good PVC like Amoula Paragon, the cost is now similar to POP. So POP wins hands-down. Hajji M. |

desiji:Dayuum, I have forgotten, I bought original National radio Panasonic cassette player from Bhojson in the Northern part of Nigeria then when it was in vogue, used it during my undergraduate studies and it served me till after my Nysc and it was still working fine, it was original, we had less fake things in Nigeria then but today the reverse is the case ![]() |

EgunMogaji:P-O-P is the best in my opinion, it enhance beauty of the ceiling, reduce heat, is also fireproof. |

kopell: Try plasterboard. The finishing of plasterboard is a lot better than POP. POP is good though. 1 Like |

44chux: Please expand on this. I was under the impression that you wanted to keep these systems separate so that any lightening action on the arrestor would not affect the electronics (earth grounding). We've got a solar installation, where the negative of the panels are eventually routed to earth ground. |

EgunMogaji: These are some really nice pieces. Where did you buy your toilet and sink? It seems out in Delta, everything has a 1.5x markup. It might be worth buying and then transporting. |

FastShipping:As in Sheetrock abi, yes more can be done with extra wood cost, and other accessories associated cost. With deep pockets one should be alright. It's may look even better. |

ekwe18: You're missing sales due to lack of understanding of basic ecommerce 101. You have a captive audience, instead of siphoning this one client off to WhatsApp, the savvy seller would instead create a thread (it's free and unlimited space), load it up with samples of your wares and prices. Then you would hope to not only get the one client but many more that might validate that you do have affordable prices and make purchases. Why you Naija sellers always do this befuddles me. You are in front of validated, verified and guaranteed buyers that are actively engaged in building. 5 Likes 1 Share |

EgunMogaji: The answer is most of them are not on the up and up. It's a deliberate decision. That way if the deal falls apart, it's not immortalized on a thread. If an aggrieved customer starts a thread, once it's resolved, the mods delete. 1 Like |
