Nice one Nexthome family.
Keenly following.

Should you need a business partner for the farming option,I am game.
Cheers.

Hi,
Please what is the distance from the property to Ofada?.A family friend will be supervising a project in Ofada and needs a rental property, not in Ofada but its surrounding small towns.
Waiting for your response.
Please treat as urgent.
Thanks.

Just came across this on yahoo news this morning and thought I should share with my fellow patriots.

P.S.

Pay attention to readers´comments below the article.

Cheers all.

Thank God Almighty no human casualties reported.
Now,I only hope that the proprietor of the property(if private)has some adequate insurance.

Katsumoto:

Professor Sachs - how much were you paid?

You seriously do not expect the people of Nigeria to believe that a tenured professor of economics (Harvard, Columbia) would be so ignorant of what is going on in the world. You seriously do not expect people to believe that you ventured an opinion on a subject you knew little about.

He dosn´t need to do any research on the economics of fuel subsidy in Nigeria.He could have just dialled the telephone extension number of his colleague,Prof.Xavier Sala-i-Martin, in the same college, who has done a great espose on the subject matter.I am beginning to see a trend of behaviour amongst all these IMF/World Bank attachees.

ekt_bear:

Heh.

That I can agree on. I wasn't planning on wasting any more time 'splaining to you anyways. I guess I just need to learn to ignore you subjects like this. Note to self: On things related to economics, pay as much attention to KoboJ as you pay to Fstranger in general.

Should I assume that you are pretending not to understand where @Kobo is coming from, concerning the figures that NBS keep churning out viz a viz the realities on ground?

goodjack:

I think Zamfara should take it all. They started with Sharia and they will end with Sharia. Bayelsa has two major problem. One is bad politicians and the second is very difficult terrain.

Lol @ coloured. Got carried away for a while.

In the war against terrorism,those are the descriptions that are used when discussing the Tribal Afghanistan/Pakistani border areas.

donspony:

Just an observation. ^_^

And how is your observation related to the topic in question?.

Please grow up.

Beaf!:

Students with B.Sc ing and B.Sc (Ed) ing are both trained to be ants. The difference is while both are studying ing, the latter also took some modules on how to teach ing in a classroom. Notice the (Ed) which is education.

Summary: Both are ants but the dude with (Ed) have a little edge because if ing job is not available he can simply apply for a teaching job

@ OP
Take the quoted above and run.

Markindian:

They are always browsing d internet.

Good man,you.
Just tell it as it is.
They spend more time on facebook than on thier studies.
For those solely taking the blame to the government,I beg to disagree.Yes, the system needs an overhaul,but the kids must play a critical part in the process.

Gaffes once in a while are ok,reason why we are humans.And it makes us better humans to accept them and immediately either retract them or apologise outrightly.

It becomes worrisome though,when they take a pattern and happen every now and then,as is the case of this istration in the ways they are handling almost every issue in our national polity.

Now they are taking it up a notch by depending on hear say.

And that, my friends, is scary.

yinka85:

Beaffy is working over-time tonight.

If Beaf likes,let him work from now till eternity,there are some gaffes that you cannot spin your way out of.

This Hyundai Heavy Industries´ story is one of such.

Whoever attempts to spin this needs the gift of humility to carry on with his or her life.

The Presidency went low on this.Personally I have accepted that fact and moved on.

@ Okada_man,I appreciate your clear mindedness and patriotism.

@ Payless,

Am not seeing enough provisions for pillars in your pictures.

I see the house big enough to require several pillars to be able to hold the roofing work especially if you are considering the kind of roofing that @ Am Alone is using.

Or is the new builder going to improvise for them in a redesigned form?.

calculusx:

]I dove my hat for you oooo, lol. Do you know i have never heard of anywhere a decking was done for 600k before but seeing the above i believe its possible only if you know and understand the whole process,no bricklayer and carpenter can drain you, My 2 hands are up for you. If i may ask,is it the same laborers that started it will finish this job cos you must have cut down all their corny ways of embezzling the owner.[/color]

Oga Calculusx,have you not heard the saying that¨the fear of german floor and decking expense quotations by dodgy professional builders have made many potential home owners into perpetual tenants?.

How I didn´t fall a victim of that has been one of the many miracles in my life.Today,I would have still been dreaming of my castle in the air while living in another man´s.

Am Alone:

@mmbello2

The plan had been forward to your email. If you can't find it in your inbox, please check your spam folder!!!!
Peace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done AM Alone,and more greese to your elbow.

Please am also interested in the plan if you dont mind.I am mindful of copyrights laws though,so dont be afraid.I will be using it to tweek some plans that my architect is presenting to me.

My mail addee is [email protected]

Thanks in advance.

@ All that has contributed to this thread so far ,especially the original author spyder880 and the one and only strong lone child,I say a big well done and more power to your able elbows.

@ am alone,
I referred this thread to a builder and he commended your eyes for details and also made an interesting comment that some  projects like yours are done with a plan of converting the building into a duplex or multi-purpose guesthouse in the future,because it will have a lot of spaces to manouver and erect things like lift or stairs.
It sounded like a good idea to me and I want to ask you if that is part of your plans because a friend of mine seeking advice from me is interested in doing something like that,ie build a cute bungalow where he will call home for a very long time with his current resources and converting it into something bigger as resources flow in and family sets in or when the community opens up opportunities for tourism or something.

Cheers and peace to all.

A thread opened solely  to promote an already debunked myth/lies.
Wonders shall never end.
I wont be surprised if some of the posters challenging the outspoken honesty of the woman in question are already ing on the lies of Nigeria being the giant of Africa to thier offsprings.And that my friends  is very dangerous,because it will blow in your respective faces.Your kids will not remain under 13s.Sooner or later they will be opportuned to leave their gated enclaves and see things on ground elsewhere for themselves.By then,I hope you will have the sincere courage to ask them their opinion about your so called moniker.

I submitted a question,but was not read to the participants.I wanted the s to help me find out what all the candidates, except the incumbent govenor,His excellency Fashola (SAN) smoked before the start of the debate.
And I am still curious even as I am typing this now.

lastpage:

@Elsafema My friend, dont despair at all! YOU DONT KNOW YOUR LEVEL AT ALL but l will share "your level" with you now.

First , let me state that all the people building this 10M naira houses did not "win jackpot" Most labored hard and sweated hard!

Again, let me add that "Savings is not money you HAVE LEFT, after ALL expenses are met"! SAVINGS IS THE FIRST MONEY YOU PUT ASIDE BEFORE ANY EXPENSE IS SETTLED"! (I read that somewhere, am not exactly sure now, maybe What Rich  people Teach their kids that the poor dont)

Having said the above, l know peeps with wife and at least two kids, who live on a salary of 40K/month! Some "Teachers" still do!
Their standard of living might be "comparably low" but at least, they cut their coat according to their cloth.

Now, imagine if you could "cut down" on ALL non-essential expenses and live like your salary was actually 40K/Month?
That means you will be having a savings of 40K/month!; almost half a million/year!
NOT EASY, REQUIRES EXTREME DISCIPLINE, might even imply postponing having more than one or two children (though income may/do rise as we progress in life sha)

THIS IS "YOUR LEVEL": Someone with half-a-million naira in savings within one year! How does that sound? Do you think you wont be able to these "Landlords in less than 3-5years? YES, you would.

Again, you might just put the first 500K in a savings (healthy bank pls) that yields 15%/annum and take it out to buy land after the second year! You can even arrange to pay for the land in "installments" - say 40K monthly! Land can still be bought for 500K at Ikorodu, in Lagos 

Now, Any form of Owambe (Naming, Burial, Age-grade), Aso-ebi, Beer-Parlor, Isi-Ewuu and "Aaristo activities", e.t.c must be off-limits for you
And avoid churches were the Pastor will love-vendor you of your money in the name of some "miracle jackpot" deliverance service! You will only end up loosing the little you have (,,,,,,,,,,and it shall be taken from those who do not have (the foolish ones), and given to those who have (the smart ones) )

And you have to keep repeating and telling yurself that you will build a house, sleep it, dream it and live it. Remain focused.
Pray to God also, for "inner, spiritual strength" so that "unexpected expenses" will not your address
Its not a question of "if", it is a question of "when" you will come here and tell us about price of Cement, nails and Iron bender

I wish you luck and God's grace

Oga Lastpage open a church or a mosque and I will .Lol.

The story above is my story and it dosn´t get any better.

Thanks


46. Festus Iyayi (From wikipedia: "He left the shores of Nigeria to pursue his higher education, obtaining a M.Sc in Industrial Economics from the Kiev Institute of Economics, in the former USSR and then his Ph.D from the University of Bradford, England. In 1980, he went back to Benin and became a lecturer in the Department of Business istration at the University of Benin. As a member of staff of the University, he became interested in radical social issues, and a few years after his employment, he became the president of the local branch of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), a radical union known for its upfront style on academic and social welfare. He rose to the position of president of the national organization in 1986, but in 1988, the union was briefly banned and Iyayi was detained, in that same year he won the Commonwealth Prize for Literature for his book Heroes."

I haven't read his work. I'll need to read up on him.

I will recommend you read ´´Violence´´ and ´´Heroes´´.

Though a professor of business istration and an astute business consultant,you will be amazed by his literary ingenuity.

An ideal realist.He just writes about his surrounding environment with some literary flair of a professional.

He is kind of relaxed now in his activism since the exit of the military dictatorship in Nigeria.(He was actually a thong in thier flesh back in the days).But I guess he must be disappointed by the crop of political leaders of the democracy that was ushered in.

Now he has his current State Governor as a consolation prize for his struggles.

Subscribed.

And please may I suggest that this thread be displayed on the front page?.

A  big THANK YOU [color=#006600][/color]to all contributors.You may not realize the impact these information you are spilling here will have on prospective home owners.

God will surely be with you and see you through your various projects .

yinka85:

What are are all these things about ¨intelligence/brain¨,¨makes me laugh/sense of humor¨ and all what not.
What happens to  honesty and humility(2 non physical qualities every single woman should pray to have in her man to guarantee a lasting relationship).
Intelligent enough to play tricks on your asses and humorous enough to make you laugh and hence forget about their weaknesses.Lol
Wake up young ladies and look for what you need and not what you want.
Peace and good luck in your search.

Nice one @Yinka85.

One of these dream girls should put up a similar thread,this time directed to men and lets see how many of them that will mention the  intelligent and humorous woman over a virtuous one.
For me and my household,it is the virtuous woman all the way.Lol

Benstino:

Nairaland ladies are crazy.All these talks about intelligence is boring.An intelligence guy can still be a criminal,he can be harsh on his lady,he can be a sex maniac.Now concerning sense of humour,a guy with a high sense of humour can be a pauper,he can be a gay et cetra.Now ask urself,do u want an intelligent guy who will be eager to use his lady 4 a money ritual?Do u want a guy with a high sense of humour who will only be interested in the constant ripping apart of your lingeries,defiling you only to abandon you when you conceives.I'm a guy but I think that one of the major thing which matters is being God-fearing. that the fear of God is the beginning of all wisdom.Make your choice wisely.

@Benstino,
This is not a christian thread we are talking in general.Mind you not all the respondents  believe in God the same way that you do.

@Fidelo 726

Gbam what?
You could be found guilty of all the above mentioned crime and still contest an election in Nigeria and win without any qualms.Are you been naive of this thing called ¨Nigerian Politics¨ or what?. Common now!

I am very much interested Sir.My email is [email protected]
Thanking you in advance.

@Jarus,

Please what size of plot is your project on.?

I have a similar concept in mind,but I only have a 648(square meter)-sized plot.

Cheers.

Fellow Nairalanders,I am currently doing a research on Tourism in Nigeria,and the cost of accommodation for tourists and general visitors to Nigeria vis-à-vis quality and services attainable in our hotels and guest houses is my primary focus.
Valuable contributions will be highly appreciated please.
Thanking you all in advance.

Up until now,it has been ¨survival by all means possible¨.It could be redefined.Who knows.Just hoping.

@Poster,
Please send an email to [email protected] if you are interested in something like the pictures below.
Thanks.

Not surprising that Gov. Mimiko is on the list of progressive Nigerian Governors under my radar.
Well done Govenor,but I am still watching.
The verdict is not out yet.
