n3xt:Government silence is enough proof sr. Cement and the likes are amongst national natural resources which is known to be a blessing from God to the citizens. Why has government chose to neglect their role in controlling commodity price of such goods while they aware of resultant of hick in petrol price on good and services. Why has government chose to allow cement producers to sell out larger part of their products? What hasn't government talk or set up committee to look into the reason for this crazy increment? Oga mi, all these you know. You only want me talk ni Peace 1 Like |

n3xt:It's amazing how quickly things can change and affect planning. Last 2019, when I thought things were going to remain unchanged, I was Globetrotting. Started from Journey in September from Dubai, landed in Sydney (Australia) before resting in Auckland (New Zealand) See me sitting comfortably in the biggest commercial Airplane in the world, Airbus A380 and getting served a great meal by Emirates Airline. (Ticket cost alone was ₦1.6m) By December, it was another adventure from Istanbul to Paris to Brussels enjoying my Christmas at the popular Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame de Paris. Dollar was ₦360 Euro was ₦398 Pounds was ₦450 Those in the Diaspora too can see and feel what's happening across the globe and can't blame contractors, especially regarding price control

/ Is it me or does it seem that Lagos and Abuja axis workers are better at plastering jobs? They always points towards Yoruba or the Togolese. Is it a fact or myth? Some are so good at it that minimal screeding will be necessary. What’s the secret? / |

InvertedHammer:I don't know about others but those togolese people sabi waste cement eh. They can mix two bags thirty minutes to their closing time and pour it all into available holes in the building. Aside that issue, the quality of their job is out of this world. They will plaster walls until they achieve same level across board |

n3xt:Inform the client the changes in the market and advice him to check or investigate your statements/claim independently, it's not the builders fault price hike or inflation took place. When my engineer tried to advice me to stock for my work @ ₦3000 per bag, I played deaf.....I later bought for ₦4100, am I going to blame him? NO! |

somehow: I understand how you feel, but at some point you will have to make a choice. You need to have at the back of your mind that with a limited budget, you might have to settle for a less than perfect location. Know this, and your decision making process becomes easier. We started out few months ago to buy a plot in a decent serviced estate where we could buy, build and move-in in the next one year. We soon found out that those Estates were way above our budget. We tried to raise more funds, but the properties were not waiting for us. They either get sold-out faster than we could raise the money or the developers increased the price. We did also find Estates that fell within our budget, but they sure won't be habitable in the next one year, even five years. They were mostly purchased by land bankers whose intention is to hold for as long as they can. Haven't realized our budget can't get us that perfect location and the money is fast losing it's purchasing power due to inflation, we immediately put our desire for a perfect serviced estate aside and focused on what we can get with our budget before it loses value any further. Green Leaf / Valley View Estate at ikorodu and an offer we got at Oribanwa Phase 2 stood out. We settled for Oribanwa Phase 2 for couple of reasons: Firstly, about 80% of the road that leads to land from lekki-epe expressway has been interlocked. Secondly, the type of houses already built and springing up (single dwelling duplexes and bungalows) in the neighbourhood indicates the type of people who own, intend to live or own houses in the community would most likely be open up to community development through cooperation. Thirdly, there is enough development for me to live in the area in it's present form. So we assumed it would have developed even further by this time next year when we hope to have finished building. Finally, according to our findings from different sources living in the area, the neighbourhood is relatively secured. Like a wise elder (EgunMogaji2) said in one of this posts, the idea is to encourage them to try somewhere else. That will be our game plan in defending our castle and I hope twinskenny will have a solution that can help further this plan. Will also actively participate in community security efforts. I also enquired from different sources what it's like during rainy seasons or when it pours heavily. Was made to understand there is nothing really to worry about aside the remaining part of the road which is yet to be interlocked. Hopefully, the rest of the road will be interlocked before we move in, alternatively, a SUV will suffice. In conclusion, we couldn't get that perfect Estate we set out to get, but with time, we will make what we got Perfect. I hope this helps you in your decision making process. Good Luck! 11 Likes |

davodyguy: Waoh! That is bad business sense. Once you pay for something, money changed hands and good are delivered, it becomes your goods, you ate at liberty to sell it back, to the original seller. There use to be someone here that used to sell Cables, on this thread. I bought Cables of almost #3M from him a few years back and l still have a few bundles that were left over, in my Attic right now, to be used on another project. The Cables were original, direct from factory. Even his other items like DB's, Wall Plates, Sockets, etc are still serving and intact till this moment. A little pricey but you are sure of what you are buying and he does not do all these nonsense + Cheating If you can find him, it will be worth your while. His username was @Alcopacetic, back then. https://www.nairaland.com/4434421/prospective-home-owners-guide-domestic One of his threads that l still have. 1 Like

yinkaoke: _____ Soakaway Talk to Biodigester guys. It’s a cheaper alternative to the traditional septic tank system. _____ Electrical Fittings Do away with wall brackets and do spotlights instead. You’d save on wiring and electrical fittings. Use wall sconce (wall lights) in important areas and not bedrooms. 3 Likes 1 Share
