Sir, gutter sand are sand extracted from gutters always with black mod until is wash, it is sometimes soft or sharp.

Sharp sand are most from dredging site some look like gutter sand.

Driveway concrete strength is determine by load of vehicle ing on it, less than 5tons you may not need granite if wire mesh is in it, but without wire mesh you need granite.

Strong advice, pls pile up Granite & Sand, stock your cement it will last up to a month in stock before it cake.

Na true or you dey do marketing??

Often times people stop themselves with what i call a defeatist attitude. You need to seriously carry out a feasibility study on what is possible and price. Even as we speak there are still plots on the fringes of Lagos state(in Ogun state) of less than 500k that people are using for commercial farming. I personally know one bought 2 plots for 550k about 4 years ago.

Often times people want to jump before they can roll and then choose to do nothing as the alternative. Wherever you are at the moment, make that count. If you choose to bail out then the hardwork mentality will already be there so that its just a location issue and you will always do well. If you lazy for 9ja chances are nothing changes even when you bail oh.

Last year I travelled into 9ja and the foreigner queue was longer(more than double) than that of the indigenous we need to figure out what is really happening under our noses that they are seeing and doing while we are screaming of no jobs.

My bro, I love this. Would totally love to do something like this but since my papa had to buy even the land wey I dey build house for now, I no get land. I will have to start by buying land first which is not an easy feat.

A family friend of mine bought 24 plots at igbesa at Ado Odo /ota local government area of ogun state, l went to the place to see things for myself and I bought several plots as well at 400,000 / per plot early last year, my family friend bought his lesser than mine, I bought not necessarily for farming and I was attracted to the area because of the Ogun state / China free trade zone, igbesa polytechnic, Crawford University, and several companies situated in that axis.

You're right. People should not necessarily wait for the "big time" to invest. Just yesterday i went to inspect some lands at Ologuneru area in Ibadan for a client. It was about 550k per plot. You should not necessarily wait till you have 10-20million to buy a land.

Is ologuneru near jericho or elebu?

Thanks.

Yes, due to the proximity of Ibadan and Ogun state to Lagos, I think buying lands in those areas are good, even if you are not ready to use the land immediately, buy it, if you can fence it, go ahead or give it to family living within that vicinity to use it to farm which invariably secures the land from omoniles and secures it for you while at the same time whoever farms on it on your behalf if you are not resident in Nigeria at the moment, will grow crops to feed himself and also sell at the market, it becomes a win win situation, your land is preserved till when you choose to use it

You really made a good choice not waiting till people start building skyscraper before you buy but because of future prospect in the area just as i was telling spyder880.

l didn't like the idea initially when my friend suggested it to me but I took out time to visit the place myself and I was overwhelmed with what I saw in that area, Obasanjo, Winners Chapel and several companies bought thousands of acres of land in that axis, from Agbara estate to igbesa axis they have Unilever, Flourmill, Glaxo smitkline, Nestle foods just to mention but a few and over 200 SME's are scattered all over that axis, power supply is better than Lagos which is one of the main attractions for investors into that area, and the given by Ogun state government to attract them into the state,

The only draw back l witnessed is bad roads which I think the government of Ogun state should address more because attention seems to be focused more on Abeokuta in of road rehabilitation but despite the bad roads, I am shocked that more companies are flocking towards that igbesa axis. lol, I guess the bad roads means nothing to them

In less than five years, the place will be a commercial hub and lands there will be as high N10M per plot or more. That's the power of seeing and investing in the future.

I like this and will apply it in other areas. Nice one. However as per the discussion in question 400 or 500k may seem like a no brainer but fact remains that it depends on your particular situation at the time and the opportunity cost. Because person no buy land at 500k no necessarily make am lazy. It might just be the case of opportunity cost and or not being exposed to opportunities or a host of other things beyond simple hardwork.

i would like ti ask his question... which of these procedures come in the right order? tiling,door frame fixing,pop/pvc,electricity

There is no sure order especially with the doors/frame. Height adjustable doors can be fixed before or after but nonadjustable doors must be before tiling.

Electricity comes before any type of ceiling. I wouldn't want any heavy ceiling works after ceiling has being installed. Besides, Electrician will charge higher labour charges working in an already finished ceiling. The risk of damage to ceiling and ceiling heat is unbearable.

Ceiling should come before tiling. This is to avoid staining/scratching the tiles especially with POP and scaffolding.

Highrise apartments are the ONLY way to provide decent accommodation at affordable prices in countries like Nigeria with massive population.

My only concern is that the state or LGA should mandate landlords to do interlocking stones on their streets. Lack of paved streets and sealed wells make the lives of residence dreadful. I know the tarring of streets should be duty of LGA, but we know LGAs are a bunch of corrupt vassals.

Therefore, a responsible arrangement would be for the state to collect a fixed tax per building and use the proceeds to build interlocking stones street for them. Meanwhile every house must provide a concrete gutter in front of the houses.

Landlords are also allowed to increase collect a water rent and use the money to drill a borehole in front of every building and pump the water into an overhead tank where residents can get water for cooking, cleaning and washing.

While l dont mind (infact, l 101%) the idea you posted as highlighted in red, l will wonder-aloud, about what happens to all such monies that hiuse owners pay to Govt?
We pay taxes for infrastructural development... they steal it.
We pay Land use Charge ...they steal it!
We pay Tenement rate .... they steal it!

So, whatever we still pay, will be stolen!
We just have criminals pretending to be Govt officials and dishing out instructions on how to rip-off ordinary citizens.

I will rather advocate that we stop paying completely (Gov abolishes all taxes and payments) and then compel all House owners to tar or concrete the frontage (Pillar to Pillar and up to half of the road, at a minimum) of their houses, including Gutter.
Aferall, we still have to provide water and our own electricity!
That is exactly what l did in my own buildings and l still pay taxes and other rates

Is Anybody aware of this matter of Land Use Charge Law?....especialy when the Gov. has not provided any amenities in most area...Tenants go hear am!!!

Can we discuss this adjustable height doors that I keep hearing about.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Thanks.
