Yes o.. I love looking at these gigantic houses and saying "Wow"..

But personally,

I love my houses how I love my women.

Cute, small, beautiful houses..

Oga mi, WOMEN that means not one woman ,. 2, 3 etc

There is one Mansion inside Osborne foreshore estate. You can see it along the road if you are coming from Osborne road when you want to navigate to third mainland bridge. Painted all white

I just want to this information to those building in Ibadan axis and struggling with portable water sourcing.

See the attached photos. The company just successfully concluded a borehole project in Oluyole area. The total cost is just under 500k.

This doesn't include the geological survey. This was done separately. Some forego this aspect but it's recommended. The project is a micro estate cum retirement holiday home. The geological survey identified three spots on the site. This was handed to the borehole company and they settled for the site with the best yield.

If you are having water challenges, you may try this approach. It was successful. Please note that there are some sites in same location that the water table is a challenge, hence the need for a geological survey. There are sites in the same vicinity with no water.

I'm not recommending the company or speaking for them. All I'm saying is that the company just successfully concluded a borehole project without drama.

So if you want to adopt this approach, please do your independent due diligence. No money was sent remotely. Someone was on ground and the company's office was visited. Money only exchanged when the company was on site.

Do your due diligence independent of this information. Or do your due diligence to substantiate this information. My responsibility stops here.

I swear, igbos build to make a statement, it's more like MANSION or nothing.

Reverse is the case for the yorubas, yorubas kinda hate attracting attention through their builds, simple design outside with good interior and that's all, you can confirm this with the houses in lekki and VI and other prime locations in south west.

Average successful yorubas: Bungalows
Successful yorubas: Simple Duplex
Average successful igbos building in the east: GIGANTIC MANSION
Successful Igbos: GIGANTIC MANSION WITH PILLARS AND SPACIOUS COMPOUND.

Smile, I like the way you define it' in categories, you're right about average successful igbos displaying wealth that they have arrived with high roof mansion. Very very successful Igbos with money bags, I mean money big money NEVER display their wealth they play safe underground. I knew some of them that have branches in Nigeria, have main companies in China where they don't display wealth. Do you guys know the card reader that Nigeria used for election is made by Igbo man form Anambra. You don't what to know how much Nigeria government pay him for that software. Yoruba man hummmm, don't know about simple duplex. I 2011 when I went to Abuja Agis office with my friend for land documents, on our way back to his office I saw people sharing money in his office, he work's with one of the big real-estate agent. When I asked my friend in the office he get 250k from his boss, I then asked for mine they kuku give me 50k that day after sharing, I then ask what is going with this money sharing they told me Mike Adenuga just brought and paid them 1billon to buy his neighbor house to make room for his garage, imagine that.

Thanks for this.

Mr okenwa mentioned scredding will fix the cracks. I saw this scredded wall and the plastering crack is still very visible.

I appreciate all the opinions given.

For those building in Ado -odo otta, does the local govt collect any money for decking. A notice was placed on my build asking me to pay 100k for the decking

I'm sorry, this doesn't look like a cusmetic crack. This could be a different type of crack. It looks structural. Any screeding in this situation might just be papering over the crack.

rotecch77:


2 things involved in plastering to get good results
- selection of materials sand/ cement
- professionalism.

Reason why I do go extra miles to get good results in all my plastering/ rendering work.

Check below diff states in Nigeria where I carried out some finishings and construction work.
You hardly see cracks. In difficult situations of getting good sand I do apply another methodology to get minimal tiny crack in one or two places if the work is gigantic one .

Pics below are plastering NOT SCREEDING

What is the best mix ratio and sand to use for such a neat and smooth plastering. This your plastering dey enter my eye boss

I will like to ask you a few questions on your project. I sent you a message

I will advise you to investigate any cracks properly especially if its a suspended floor kind off , .

Kindly check the other part of the same wall if you have similar cracks along that part.

Do you have any conduit system on the wall along that axis,

That burglary when did you fix it..

How old is the plastering

Do you have does cracks before plastering the build as well.



Key note...
Bad selection of materials or overuse of some may leads to cosmetic cracks which will trouble the owner thinking something is wrong

Bad foundation and mostly absence of structural drawings gves this palava ..

Very thick plastering without incorporating chicken net is another wahala..

Lastly
i observed it's a common practice what we usually check immediately during assessment is the beam , you will see labour and bricklayers packing block to fill the beam in an attempt to stop leakages of concrete and fail to cast the btm reinforcement.. no matter d scredding and smoothness in this occasion it will likely be thunder tattoo ..
Home owner should pay attention more to the structural details rather before selecting the best tiles and POP

You are really mad, idiot.


This is not a day or a year deals with him, this is approximation of supplies from him overtime.

Do you I said I have been dealing with mountmoriah for over 5years.

The 12tons I got from him last week alone is N4, 920, 000

@N410k per ton.

Do you know how many of my friends I have introduce to him.

I don't know the problem of some people here on this forum.

hslbroker , one thing you don't want to do is to engage me ooo.
I'm not a vendor here so I have nothing to lose. koda, I no de post for here until your mentor and co-fraudster, n3xt defrauded his client who was magnanimous enough to award him a contract despite his fraudulent past.
Forget those nonsense talks. We know who you be .
If you don't know bro, na the half baked English be your trade mark.
If you don't mind your utterances around me eh, I go make u popular as a fraudster wey you be.
I'm not a gentle man I don't always come in peace .

As suggested above, this doesn’t look cosmetic and should be investigated.

As at last year, they don't.

Did you do your building approval? If you did, you have no problems.

You are a wise authentic Igbo breed. Idoms and proverbs are the palm oil igbos use to eat their language . It is part of whom they are.

Because nobody want their mother’s bride price to be a waste, they must know these things.

You are right about the attracting attention part.
If you read my last screenshot response to spyder880, you would see were I categorically mentioned at the onset, that I intended to build a house that would “ pepper my village people the most.” That is the whole idea. Maybe a vacation home or for future retirement, time would tell.
No apologies.
What else does one need in this short life?
The house I currently live in is worth at least 10 times this one.
There are other ones occupied by strangers.

At the end of the day, we shall all return naked to our creator.

YorubaKing:
In all this stuff going on, our trust worthy forum elders like Mufutau55 and several others has been 'unusually' quiet. Egunmogaji2 has been subtly involved which is good at least.

That's NOT right, egbon. Say something at least. It might be of little or no concern to you atm but, it'll go a long way to further convince & protect innocent newbies from falling victims to these fraudulent gangsters and syndicates.

As tomorrow is MLK's day in the U.S, I'll leave this quote for this forum's trusted elders that chose to remain quiet during these 'dark times'.

If you were active on this thread, you will see that I have been quiet here for long.
I opened this thread for the goodness of the people and I was able to monitor it when I was a Co- here, but I have no control over this thread or any other thread; that lies with the of Nairaland. I have tried all my best here but some to no avail. So, please dont call me out. Thank you.

I built one there but few years ago at Isorosi Town still in Ado-Odo LGA. I never see any single Local Govt person on my project o. Never paid such money but only to Omo-Onile that I paid N200k for decking.
But my buildings are also kobo-kobo project o.

I am sure you have your Building Approval? If not, you need one to stop any idiots coming to your project.
