It has been talked about and clarified that, that rail construction will not enter NIGER Republic but stopped where Nigeria ends. Will it not be stupid for Nigeria to construct rail road for Niger? Habah!!
You guys want to blame Buhari for all these constructions in the North, while your brother was there for 8 years, he cannot even construct road linking Lagos to Abeokuta, his own town and same road he uses to Lagos now very often.
Sorry guys, I dont like getting involved in Politics, but this pinched my nerves.

Please read my other post jare. The rail is not going inside Niger Republic but stopping where Nigeria ends.

Hajji you don’t know how people manipulate information for their selfish and political interest here. Many of these people are feeding fat from corrupt system, they don’t like or care about any development but what came to their political godfathers pocket and the little koko they get from their corrupt mentors. I wept for this country, we’re talking about regional Integration How do we achieve it without regional transit.

One4me: MY POINT was whether it is PRIORITY AT THIS MOMENT, SOUND FINANCIAL INVESTMENT POLICY, COMAPRATIVELY WITH THE CALABAR- LAGOS LINE THAT HAS BEEN ABANDONED FOR LACK OF FUNDS, FACTORING OUR LEAN TREASURY, COVID-RELATED ECONOMIC DOWNTURN, TO APPROVE $2BILLION FOR A RAIL THAT GOES FROM KANO TO THE NIGER REPUBLIC BORDER.

That is my very direct and simple point.
If you think it is a BETTER OPTION, A SOUND FIANCIAL INVESTMENT and a PRIORITY AT THIS POINT, just justify your answer, when you say so.

It is all about choice...

Some people might call it overkill.. maybe it is an overkill to them, some people might even think it that's not enough bathrooms

There are houses where I live that have 4 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms

I once lived in a studio apartment by choice not that I couldn't find proper apartment.. I liked the layout and it was easier for me for the type of work I did at the time and my lifestyle at the time.


So all this overkill or not overkill is just individual choices. This is one of the reason I advice potential homeowners to be very involved in the design stage of your house.. because the client knows what will work for them, their family , lifestyle and potential use of the build and to direct the architect to design appropriately.

If you are building a tenant house, do a market survey around the area you intend to build. Who are your intended clients? That is what kind of tenants do you intend to live there ?
Do people prefer 3 bathrooms in a 2 bed apartment? Or they don't care much ... remember there are still some older builds in a high demand areas that have 3 bedrooms and 1 bath and people still hit their heads on the wall to rent them...

I still don't understand the immediate economic benefits of that rail line? River Niger and river Benue that could create millions of maritime related jobs and industries has not been accessed they deemed it fit to establish a Rail link to Niger Republic, another misplaced priority!

LastGal06:
good morning pls, is installation fee included?n is 7500 ur best price?

One4me:


Let us even pretend that River Niger/Benue does not exist, there must be a very cogent reason to ignore the Calabar-Lagos Line, with all the benefits and jobs it can create along that axis, to now sink $2billion in a Kano to Niger Republic border Rail line.

What will that rail carry and where will the goods be from?
Maybe our Govt wants to transport Crude Oil by road from the ND or refined Petroleum products from the Apapa Wharf by Road, to Kano and then put it on Rail to Niger Republic border, so the Nigeriens can come pick it up.

Even the Lagos-Ibadan Rail line is yet to be completed in the last five years that other Rail projects in the North (started about the same time or after it), have all been completed. It is same story: No Money to finish the project.
Abuja-Kaduna road has been completed and forgoten since, but the Lagos-Ibadan is still dragging and will drag till 2023.
East-West Road is dragging and will drag unfinished till 2023.

The problem is usually some 'Southerners' who are too scared to even think for themselves or ask necessary questions from our Brothers in the North, always trying to 'over-please' and 'bend-down-make-l Bleep-you-from-behind' to them.

Do I like it? I can’t really say but I can’t but notice the buildings that had them.

They’re grande! They make some of my projects look like ancillary building.

Respect to the Igbos and their architects/ engineers. Tbh, those guys are very good!

Mayor78:


Brabus are you stereotyping? What is it about the 'respect for Igbos' in that roofing? Are you suggesting that it is only Igbos that do or such high pitched roofs? I hope you are not because you are wrong if you are.

I am Igbo and I do not like and would not have such high roof on my building.

I would prefer having the lowest minimal pitch that would allow rain to run off the roof after rainfall. That is what I have now.

Baba if other states are doing what LAGOS state is doing and stop depending so much on FG, we will have decentralize the center.

The skyline is changing very fast in Lagos.

you are learning fast.

omanzo02:

I happen to live where things are regulated and classified with common sense, so I have seen both side and all choice are not free sometimes beyond the maximum.

While you are free to spend your money as you want an extravagant plan beyond the classified requirement will be thoroughly scrutinized and 99% chance it would be rejected. I have learnt a lot in Nigeria and other part of the world to guide my judgement.

Like @true2home once wrote here: If a tenant is too big for what I have to rent, they are way too big to be a renter, I always advise them to go build their own house.
That philosophy is GENIUS!

Badgers14:


There are lots of 4 bedrooms 7 bath houses all over the U.S and U.K .. I am not sure if things are regulated in those places

I lived in a studio one time that has 1.5 bath.

As for your last quote, just like I said in my previous quote..there are 3 bed, 1 bath houses that people still hit their heads on the wall to rent. . Likewise there are areas in Nigeria where a land lord will have a hard time finding tenants for a 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment.

Market survey, market survey... build what you can rent quickly and steadily..unless you intend to live in all the flats
