We are getting there gradually. Soon it will be the gunning -down of Road Safety and VIO officers.
Nigeria is getting better.

AC working well? I'm interested.

Oboy! Another tanker again? Kai! R.I.P to the dead.

25k. I'll pay for delivery. Want to buy for someone.

Location? Engine pics?

that's why am so tired about the whole thing. I asked if I had plans to cheat him, would I not wait until I have the money. I haven't even submitted my quotation.

How on earth did I become a fraud. My first job with him,he didn't acknowledge that I did it well but was very fast to call me a fraud for a job I didn't submit a quotation for

I'll definitely be using your service soon when I commence work in the SE.
Sometimes, accusations turn into good adverts. I'm a builder so I perfectly understand your point of view.

Around december of 2020, a guy took over as the pilot of a particular deck. He became power drunk and started hunting after he called 'roving ones', he would beat and disgrace any member he catches. There was this young man i shall call T, T, a norseman, graduated since 2007, has a wife and two kids. The power drunk pilot met T on the road and terribly messed him up. Two days later, T went with one other guy to the power drunk pilots house dragged him out of the bathroom and left a deep cut his hand with a matchet and T declared that he was now the pilot of the deck... On the 24th of january, i was driving out of my compound when i saw T waiting for a taxi, i slowed down and called him to know the situation of things, he told me everything and his desire to sanitize the deck. I advised T to handover the ship to someone else afterall, he has ed a message nobody would mess with him again. Only to hear a week later that T has been shot dead at close range with a pump action...

Norms! This happens regularly. What a waste of life.

E be like na me this motor dey wait for. I like the car. Ba money no de. Very rugged and straightforward ride. Happy sales.

Another disaster waiting to happen...

Not everyone can properly execute framed structures but they won't listen.

It has to be torn down because one is not even sure if other sections of the structure will succumb to further shear stresses and bending moments in the nearest future, especially when they begin placing loads on them.

*disaster*

Rest in peace.

For real 300pcs woods stolen. I thank God oooo, at a time I have about the same number laying for some months at one of site, nothing happened to them. My engineer once told me similar story, that they stole 250 bags of cement at one of his site at Ajah. I have known idea when cement get legs to walk away from site lol �

It'll interest you to know that people can be very resourceful when they make up their most and to steal.
I have a project that has stalled since November 2019 but I still retained the services of the Security company we hired initially to secure the site. There have been countless break-ins but all successfully repelled. If not, they'd have removed the Y12 bars we placed (but yet to cast) for beams and also cut off the Y16 starter bars shooting out of already cast columns thereby making us incur humongous costs not previously factored into the B.O.Q. Which kind of variation would you now raise that the client or consultant won't cause wahala for you should that happen?
In my early days in construction when I didn't yet have a dedicated team working with me, I noticed that some Masons come to work and are accompanied by their okada accomplices who just park beside the building site, waiting for you to go for lunch or some other distraction so they can load their bikes with bags of cement and zoom off. Leaving you to exhaust 200 bags for a 120 - bags section of work.
It happens.

Apparently, your stupidity must be hereditary. To think I used to read your posts.

No matter how the new twist to tales, experiences and preferences on this thread appeals to you, don't ever be tempted to ANY cult group. On that road therein lies only death and sorrow.
I'm talking to you; you who is reading, drawn to this thread thinking that the stories here smack of danger, excitement and the accompanying adrenaline rush with a chance of coming out unscathed. The personal experiences you have read here are mostly of the survivors. Dead men don't talk, dead men don't count in that game.

STAY AS FAR AWAY FROM CULTISM AS YOU CAN.

Anytime you read talks of one group being more sensible than another and how there's a new twist to make certain groups better, the above quoted post. Wisdom is profitable to direct.

I agree.

Nothing good comes out of Benue under Ortom. Bad news!bad news!! bad news!!!

He has been useless right from his days in C as party Secretary.

He has nothing else to offer than complains and using the media to churn out bad or scary news.

He, Abounu, his entire commissioners and LG chairmen plus Terver Akase his media aide are all useless.

Ogbadibo Local government chairman is the most useless for mounting campaign billboards in of Ortom's presidential campaign cum 2023.

They have successfully wasted 8 years of Benue's time.

The only State that is worse than Benue so far is Taraba

Don't mind all those people saying, "get well soon." They don't know the story.

Finally

n3xt:


A foundation that’ll gulp N3m is not a small foundation and so 25mm (1in) thick slab is not something you’d consider in a N3m foundation.

Even with a very good builder/engineer, N3m will put a good foundation up in Ajah, Lagos.

Oh! Didn't read that 3M part. Maybe all these back and forth is over a typographical error where the stated sum is 100k wrongly typed as 10k.
Either way, I have no dog in the fight. Head full this morning.

n3xt:


12k for DPC?

Abi I’m dreaming ni? 100mm thick or just 25mm? Regardless the size of the building I have NEVER budget anything less than 50k for DPC. (Read this part slowly)

Below is what DPC look like even in the government affordable housing scheme. You’re not allowed to manually mix concrete. I do minimum of 8 concreters for a 100sqm footprint.

Machine Operator - 1
Cement - 1
Water - 1
Granite - 1
Sand - 1
Loader/Carrier - 3
Bricklayer (leveling) - 1

Where will you get casting crew that’ll accept N1,500.


_______

@segzyfunmi this is reason why you need to share your building plan. Even if it’s a sketch.

Exactly, that calculation was based around the 10k benchmark in question ( I said I can't charge 10k for said section of work).
I believe the building in question has a small area and the oversite concrete would not be anywhere close to 100mm (more likely 25 or slightly higher). Probably be using hand mix and not conc mixer.
A lot of assumptions to work with.
Lastly, cost of labour is largely dependent the prevailing prices in location of said project.
Over here, labourers get paid 1500 or 500/bag regularly (not strange) to see.
I'm handling the construction of the office complex of a Federal parastatal presently and the prices I'm paying for unskilled/semi -skilled/skilled labour are very much different from that obtained when handling smaller private jobs like bungalows all in the same location.

Amastermovic:


BLINDING COST 35K y is casting of german floor now 10k pls guide me .

Casting of Oversite concrete (German Floor)

2 masons daily pay @3000 per = N6000
3 or 4 helpers daily pay @1500 per = N4500 or N6000
Total: N10500 /N12000

You can't get better than that. That is provided all materials are provided a day before to enable casting starts by 6:30/7AM in the morning so that proper paying of attention to detail in execution is achieved.
Also, carpenter must have finished his formwork for DPC and plumber must have laid starter pipes and guided them into position the previous day.

Na our work. I won't charge 10k for labour for DPC casting.

The bill is more than fair. Probably the engineer plans to augment any extra costs for section of work from funds saved from previous sections such as blinding.

Major Gen Irabor! Thank God o.
This man brought boko haram to their knees as theatre commander of OPLD. Only for them to remove him by stylishly making him head of the t Multi-national task force.
Love this man and his understanding of practical warfare.

CodeTemplar:
Way better than paying taxes that will be used to sponsor state elements against you.

Exactly.

I wonder why people are so soft these days. If you pay a small fee for some of these folks involved in the case to be gunned down, you'll be called and given your papers.

This country is a jungle and I just pity those who don't yet know that it's open season right now.

I'd gladly put hot lead into anyone who stands in my way when I know I'm within my rights, anywhere, anyhow, any day, in this country.

If they were not caught will they apologize... A typical Nigerian is easy to buy over.... That's why every politician uses same manifesto during campaign and we clap every time they read it out.

Shame on large population of low brained Nigerians

What did you expect "typical" Nigerians to do after reading the retraction? Should they have started breaking their phones or angrily hitting thier heads on walls continuously or even storm Air Force bases across the country and burning them down?

Let's hear your view. How are dealing with the situation?

Grayoso:


Why are some of you so needlessly negative? Don't you know this terrible quality will prevent you succeeding in life since you can never see the positive in anything and will therefore walk around 'blind'?

You focus only on the tax waiver Dangote will enjoy and not the benefit of this road to millions of Nigerians who will ply it annually.

The road has now being delivered meaning it can immediately begin aiding commercial and financial activities by facilitating the movement of goods, labour and private individuals.

If this road is not constructed for the next ten years, because Government has no money to pay for it, will the commercial and financial loss not be far, far, far greater than any tax incentive Dangote is getting over the same ten year period?

What is wrong with some of you to the extent you have become so negative you cannot even see that you are inadvertently opposing your own progress?

You are addressing people who would gladly cut off their own noses to spite their faces. Temper your expectations. Yapping off endlessly about dangote enjoying a monopoly as if that is new knowledge to the rest of us.

Eye service. copy and paste governor

What did he copy and paste? He is a construction professional so obviously he knows what he is doing. Are some of you paid to just blindly spill negativity on the internet whenever you ? It makes you look miserable.
