mufutau55: re you implying that there are no treated wooden doors manufactured in Nigeria? Is there no company producing/selling treated doors made locally in Nigeria? or is it a matter of personal preference to buy foreign doors? Pardon my curiosity..cos I find it abit strange that in 2018 we seem to import what i will term basic stuffs...doors, tiles etc..I just saw someone laying emphasis on foreign pipes ...TF! Pipes Are there no companies fabricating or producing such items in nigeria (with similar quality and similar price)? or is it a case of Nigerians just prefering to buy foreign stuffs? Thanks C. the questions re open to all BTW... 1 Like |

EgunMogaji: DIY should be for small scale stuffs..or re you going to quit your paid job for 2weeks just to wire a house you can employ a skilled person to do? or do the plumbing of a storey building yourself? DIY when it comes to building a home can come in form of a peoject manager even at that it is advisable to have a professional check some crucial stages...and truth be told if you ve the means..hand the building to a reputable firm with integrity and get your keys at the end...na owo nor dey make us dey wan use agidi run some matters. the stress of managing a building project coupled with stress of a regular job/biz is enough..and you wanna extend it by adding Real DIY in wiring/plumbing . somethings re easier said than done..will you quit your job or take an extensive leave to do the plumbing, tiles and electrical work at your site..when you can pay for the labour of such job with wages from less amount of time. Even a skilled craftsman will employ other skilled men to assist him... I do Diy in lil stuffs like fixing click laminat fixing of other lil stuffs here but I wont advocate for a home owner to go the DIY route for wiring..... 2 Likes |

aonag:Yes your mom was right, the guy has done many good job for me over the years with recommendation of HAJJ. At the beginning he told me his was going to used Tower I was expecting him to do that, not knowing my ties with Tower Aluminum as young Engineering Technician in the engineering department called technology tools and engineering in the late 80s, I was expecting him to place the order in tower which he never did. Cut the long story short, he ended up buying Chinese which was even thicker than the tower, how do I know this? I send someone to go to his shop and measure the thickness of the aluminum that was about to be used, behold like I said it was a little thicker than my expectation. That was how he convinced me that some of the Chinese could be thicker, if you ready to pay. Since then I have no doubt in his ability to deliver. 1 Like |

EgunMogaji: Happy sunday sire! I never knew exposure amounts to trying to do everything yourself and not employing experts...seems words ve new meanings limitation also seems to mean "not having wishful thinking"...Oh well what do I know....we learn everyday. Keep us updated when you fix the wiring,plumbering and tiles of your project...you can as well try to dig the septic tank too All the best! C. |

folmus:Not at all, Tower has quality standards as respectable company they will never compromised on the standards set by SON and other international standards. Again that does not mean other can make better product, mind you Tower is an international Company with branching all over Africa and other part of the world. Many Chinese products are not as bad as people thought, it is our people that goes their to compromise the standards just to make huge profits. If you are ready to pay for genuine Chinese products is always there, it depends on your budget. 3 Likes |

Tower profile looks thinner compared to Thick imported profile but then, It is stronger. Thick imported will do the job but Tower is better. Thick imported is also easier to cut for them than Tower. Ask your aluminium guy which profile dulls his cutting bit more. He will tell you Tower. 1 Like |

EgunMogaji: wow!.. all that insult for pointing out your unrealistic "DIY"...Brain to what ...man! TF! It seems you cant also make your points without throwing tantrums around..not cool mr "exposed" If you re sure of the idea you re pushing then explain to us how you plan to do wiring and plumbing yourself with DIY and how you plan to merge this with your regular job/biz? If you re not sure, stop pushing such narratives while in reality you re doing something else and then start throwin tantrums around when you get called out. Man chill and drink a beer! Ve a nice weekend! Edit. I will not bring myself to your level and start insulting you on a faceless forum...Seems you cannot have a discussion with someone who opposes your view all you re doing now is to throw insult...I willl take a pass for now...Avoid pushin unrealistic narratives Sir... 2 Likes |

Cindino20: How nice of a weekend I have is never dependent on some dimwitted troll on a forum. I never quoted you or directed my post at you until you poked your proboscis into my username. Just because I ignore other dual double username cowards doesn’t mean you’ll get a pass. Though you’ve exposed yourself as bumbling dweeb that can’t walk and chew gum at the same time.
