diordaves: While I agree with your last sentence I believe marginal cost is the wrong tool. To use your assumption of Christmas hamper. Will you be using MC analysis if you have the option to produce one unit of 5kg of hamper or 5 units of 1kg hamper? If you do and all things are equal it will be cheaper to produce one 5kg than 5 units of one kg The analysis is to determine the lowest cost option for building of 6units of 2 bedroom flats vertically or horizontally You assumed the cost of building 2units of 2bedroom to be 5million. you assumed that the cost of decking will be 3million Your assumptions implied that building horizontally will cost the investor #15million for the 3 units and vertically will cost the investor #15million plus #6million naira for decking. Your analysis appears not to take the following into consideration: A. the horizontal occupied additional 2 space of land even if it is half plot each you have to include it in your comparison let say the two spaces are 500k each that is #1million B. the foundation cost for each of the two houses. let say 500k each. because the cost of foundation for vertical is higher than horizontal we will credit #500 as saving to the vertical option C. if the cost of one horizontal is #5million with its roof. the cost of level one and two of vertical cannot be #5million. they do not have roof. the decking is their roof. if we assume #2.5million for roofing and celling cost that is #5million credit for the vertical. Marginal cost is not an applicable concept when you are deciding on the production of small units or large units. MC is the cost of producing additional units of same product. In production economics, product of different sizes are not consider to be the same. Hence, vertical and horizontal building are different products. To make decision on the production of product A or B you use the total cost of production. which is what some of us are doing when we decide to build 4bedrooms bungalow instead of a duplex 7 Likes |

KolaShangOne: I detest burglary on windows. It takes away the finesse and the beauty of the window area. Just as Egun said, a determined armed robber could easily take down the burglaries. See how beautiful the windows are looking. Install these big burglaries and look at the windows again ![]() I want to see a crystal clear windows with live flower cups or pots rather than looking at a prison-like burglary and thick nets. Our peculiar situation and circumstances in Nigeria is one of the reasons the interior of our homes are not that all eye catching. |

Focusmind: Back in the USA I had a different idea of what living in Nigeria was all about. I’m wiser now. I think. I have direct experiences. Thief: A close neighbor said it took about a minute and a half for the thief to be inside his bedroom via the window with burglary. There are various types and sizes of metal used for burglary. There’s hollow and there’s solid. There’re small size and big size. In my humble opinion if you’re not using solid in big size then it’s a waste of money. Fire: I’ve watched two houses burn to the ground here in Ibadan. Fire trucks eventually arrived but well after the damage has been done. If anyone was home they’ll have died from the noxious fumes. I don’t think our government tests building and furnishings for release of dangerous fumes in the houses. I have burglary in my BQ. I’m not sure if I’ll have burglary on my main house. I really wish that Nigeria would adopt liberal gun laws like we have in the USA. I also wish that we have a Castle Doctrine. What I have now is a staggered level of increasingly high levels of defense. Level 1: High fence topped with razor wife. A casual thief will move to a softer target but a determined one will simply cut and slide them to one side. Level 2: My Dobermans. I was all giddy as they grew up into terrifying defense animals but saddened to hear of dogs being jazzed to sleep during robberies. Mine will only eat food from their plate. Not food tossed over the fence. Level 3: Burglary at the windows and allegedly armored entry door. Well I now know the burglary bars are a wishful item and sledgehammers made quick work of a similar door. Also folks have said homeowners end up opening doors for the thieves anyway. Level 4: Safe room. If all else fails then it’s to hide in the safe room. It’s hidden but they’ll eventually find it. Level 5: Last resort is the scorched earth defense. We die here. My lips are sealed. ![]() 10 Likes 2 Shares |

EgunMogaji2: Baba is well prepared. Honestly, if you are not game with the strong iron bars, all those ones that comes with the windows are rubbish. Even me myself can pull out those empty pipes. May be the burglary is for petty thieves. Hardened and determined armed rubber knows no boundary. I saw where they used plier to clip off and brought down an entire barbed wire mesh on the fence and climbed over and into the compound. But for gun liberalisation, hmmm!! We will be having dead bodies on the road every day. 2 Likes |

Focusmind: The criminals don’t care about laws and they already have their guns. It’s only legally minded folks that want the laws. My cheapest handgun is over $1,000, I’m not sure that many Nigerians have N469,000 for a firearm. Bullets are also not cheap and just because we have right to carry doesn’t mean that brandishing a gun, armed robberies, etc are still not against the law. 2 Likes |
