I was hoping investors like dangote could come into the electricity problem but maybe I guessed wrong. People like him can help us achieve steady power you know?

Nigerian want cheap power supply because of poverty level but electricity is not cheap even in developed countries

nairalanda1:


It is simple.

1. Fuel costs below N1000 here

2. Fuel costs above N1000 over there. Even in NIger, with the recent reduction, fuel costs N1400 per liter

3. Naturally, smuggling would result. And let's be honest, it is not only big people doing it, even the small ordinary Nigerian would carry a 50 liter jerrycan of fuel across the border, and sell it, and come back with a big enough profit to bribe customs, and still have enough left over.

4. We don't have fuel, because government is struggling to pay the subsidy on fuel. Right now we owe fuel exporters lots of money, we are struggling to even pay the NNPC shortfall, and NNPC is now raiding the dividends to pay off its own shortfall.

5. And yet, Nigerians keep asking for cheap fuel

It is our desire to have N40 fuel that is causing this, people. And it is high time we woke up and realized fuel cannot be cheap, and totally removed subsidy.

Yet, anyone suggesting this now is apparently agbado, even if they have never voted for tinubu or never liked the man (I have not liked tinubu since 2005, when Gani first raised the questions about his certificate then)....

But it is obvious subsidy, even at tinubu level is not sustainable.

The only way to stop smuggling is to TOTALLY REMOVE SUBSIDES. Yes, fuel would cost N1500 per liter, and yes, Agbado people brought hardship to NIgeria, and yes NIgeria needs to divide, and bla bla bla

But you cannot sell at a loss and not expect issues.

And if you think NIgeria is the only country with this issue....

1. LIbya has a severe smuggling problem, to the point that smuggliers are being bombed by the LIbyan air force

2. Saudi has a smuggling problem with Yemen, which they are finding hard to fight

3. Iran has issues on the border with Pakistan. Iranian fuel is being smuggled into Pakistan well well. Subaisy

4. Venezuela has a massive smuggling problem. Same thing happening here. They lost 18 bn dollars to smuggling one year.


See the benefits of subsidy


Yet somehow, we want something that costs over N1000 to make to be sold at N200 or less because 'poverty'

We better wake up folks.

They are coming for you ..

As in, I dont know where they inherited their foolishness from.

Its safe to say 79% of obideients are Igbos.

if you are yoruba or from SS and you carry obi for head..God will punish you.

An average igbo person will not a non igbo as other ethnicities are ing obi, they think they are wiser than every other ethnicities and thats why the northernes hate them with a ion.

It will take another 30 years for an Igbo to ever be president in Nigeria.

Lols 😂, A country where the youth cannot identify/appreciate excellence.

Hello All,

Experts in the house , kindly assist me to validate below quotation for 3 bedroom house roofing

n3xt:


Foundation

Blocks- 1500 - #225,000 1200. I’m using 1250 for the 2 flat. N150 per block is a good price tho.

Sand- 2 Trips- #56,000 Fair enough. I used 1 trip of 6 tyre tipper per block for Blinding.

Water- #10,000 Ok

Digging- #120,000 Too much. Budget 60k Max. I did less based on the quantity involved.

Granite- #75,000 Is the DPC inclusive?

43 bags of cement- #120,400 Too much for blinding and block setting

Pegging 70k Too much. Budget 20k max.

Casting 130k Is this inclusive of the DPC? If yes, it’s ok. If not, budget 60k



I’m giving you the above based on my ongoing project. I’m currently working on 123 blocks of 2 bed semi-detached bungalows with following details:

- 600mm deep foundation
- 150cm thick blinding
- 1250 blocks per unit
- 22 cement for blinding per block
- Blinding is 55k per block
- 1 1/2 trip of water at 5500 per trip (Blinding and Block work)

Boss, Thanks for your response , please what is DPC .

EgunMogaji2:


For my current projects two bed and one bed flats ed together I use exactly two bundles of stakes at N1K each and one bundle of the long piece at N1.5K

Some of these outlandish estimates makes me feel sad for first timers.

So unfortunate - main reason i came to the elders

micgray100:


To me as an engineer, there is need to see the floor plan to judge accurately if the quotation is ok or not.. But with my little experience without seeing the floor plan;

The quotation is ok ... the quotation is coming obviously from an experienced brick layer.

Note the following,

1, I dont see German floor being done with above quotation..

2, Two trip of sand (56k) won't be enough to do the concrete foundation blinding and shocking of foundation blocks

3, Cement (43bags) won't be enough judging from the amount of blocks needed.

My advice.. stay on site and see how the material bought for you is been used.... so if there is need to buy more.. you won't feel the brick layer cheat you...

Engr. Gbenga

Thanks Engineer Gbenga,

@All,

Attached is the floor plan, kindly advise

Rent is N1.8 million/annum.This is minus the shop rent.The man is selling cause he has a problem with the authorities abroad so he urgently needs the cash to sort out his problems. Am just saying even at the cheap price the house is currently selling,the demand is very low

100%
@OP,

Take this advice and move on.

PuZZyNegro:


Sadly, a lot of people here failed to see your story from the perspective you want them to.

He's avoiding you all because he feels he has more money than anyone else in your family.

Sadly, the more you force him to relate with you, the more he withdraws himself. His thought is that relating with you will give you the access to ask him for money. People like your brother only ends up in regrets in later years.

The solution is to pretend like he never existed. I have a brother like that. It got to a point, I will go to the same gathering with him and pretend like I have never met someone like him in my entire life.

He was the one that later started calling my other siblings to report how I snubbed him.

If you have what it takes to take care of yourself, tell your parents and siblings to delete his number from their phone. That's the only solution.

He will come back when he regains his senses. No man is an island. He will need you people when the time comes and that's when you will make him understand his mistakes

Hmmm

Sholapey:
