BrabusNG: Excellent idea on the Openable burglar proofs. I had a sketch once, trying to implement that in my build, the welder was like oga , them no dey build that kind here... all my efforts to talk , talk fell on deaf ears ![]() I detest the ones that look like jail. I mean, how could you seal up a flat like that? What ifs... what if there was a fire? And so on and on... In an effort to protect ourselves, we shouldn't make the situation worse. I like forward thinking individuals. Similar i don't like the fence they build up everything. It is an added security to build up the fence half way then use burglar bar of some sort to finish up the rest. So when someone is walking by they could see through the fence. Privacy concerns yes but added security yes also. If someone is really doing anything private private, they will have to go inside their flats ![]() 2 Likes |

Badgers14: I’ll never forget how a family (months and her 2 kids) who relocated to Nigeria after 23 years in Canada, died in an inferno in their residence at Bodija Ibadan. People were outside to help but they couldn’t get in or out because of the anti-burglar protectors. |

omanzo02: and what if you relocate to another apartment, say you build another mansion or relocate to another area and rent the previous out? won't it serve the new tenant (s) or it's compulsory they won't have kids too probably you want aged tenants only? what's d size of that toilet that makes it a waste of useful interior space? The size of your land, your personal want or desire, your budget are factors that leads to having it or not n not a matter of all your said claims. Your usage of "my experience Architect" is another issue. what of many spaces you rent or lease and have to create such space with extra cost as well, that's his personal submission which works for you too I assume and is not a matter of experience or not. my thought and my humble opinion #peace 1 Like |

omanzo02: Say its a family with 2 children and a maid. All must go out in the morning to work and school at the same time. Don't you think that 1 bathroom will create serious issues for the family even when other living conditions are perfectly ok for them? Paying rent is also the tenant's hard earned money as well as the landlord's hard earned investment, remember that. If a tenant prefers a house with 2 wc and bathroom for his own comfort, its his right and his money. If you a landlord feels a tenant doesn't deserve the comfort, please build what you can, the appropriate tenant for you is out there. My grouse is you advising a willing landlord not to make his own tenant comfortable or even having the opinion that those who live in a 2 bedroom and require more bathrooms, should upgrade. Remember, only a satisfied and comfortable tenant renews his rent promptly. Referring to a paying tenant's comfort as wild dreams is beneath you. 3 Likes |

Badgers14: I don't know if I am taken a big risk. My window areas upstairs do not have burglary - some have just single bar to protect the kids from any rough play of "jumping" out through the window. Personal choice if you ask me, I don't like burglary and nets on the windows - just that I don't have any choice. Even curtain is not my thing - Venetian blinds may appeal to me but I prefer to look at the outside environment through a plane clear glass in my room ![]() 2 Likes |

Focusmind:I don't know why this burglaries having escape patches seem like a big deal to you folks. Most buildings have such. Imagine the building burning and there's no way to get to safety. It's made with the approximate size of 2ft by 2ft and you have a lock. The escape patch is made in such a way that you don't even know it's there. It incorporates the design of the burglary 2 Likes |

BrabusNG: We all know the story behind Eze-Ego's money... so which family want to risk their life for the properties? In case of Abiola, when you have several wives and several children things will always go hay-wire when one is dead. The children who cannot continue with the legacy of their father are to be blamed. Look at the family house at Ikeja sef.. May God give us good children. Hajji M. 2 Likes |
