Q.s Haybee

@SirJarus Wetin dey for qs like me for that sector sir??

@toulssss @nobod3yyyy I wonder, like boys allowed into the room when no be hostel week. This story no add up abeg

@nobod3yyyy Boys were allowed to come into the hostel? In unilag?

My name is Ijeoma, and let me tell you what hostel life in UNILAG did to my sanity. I got admitted and my parents said, “Ijeoma, you’ll stay in Moremi Hall. It’s for girls only, it’s safe.” I entered that room and saw six beds, one standing fan that sounds like a generator, and one window that refuses to close. I told myself, “I’ll manage, it’s just four years.” Week one, I was the good roommate. I brought an extra extension, labelled my snacks, and even wrote “please don’t use my towel” on the door. By week two, Lagos had happened to me. The light pattern in Moremi is a mystery. It takes light at 2am when you’re sleeping and brings it at 6am when you want to iron. We all have power banks, but they also need light. So we charge power banks to charge phones to use torchlight to find another power bank. That’s the circle of life in the hostel. My roommate Kemi is a night reader. She puts her reading light on at 1am and starts reciting Economics like she’s on stage. I tapped her and said, “Kemi, please.” She said, “Ijeoma, I have a test.” I said, “And I have eyes. They need to close.” We’re still roommates, but we only greet on weekends. The bathroom is a different story. You queue from 5:30am with your bucket, towel, and prayers. If you’re late, you’ll brush with one hand while holding the queue with your foot. One day I entered and someone had used all my soap to wash her hair. I shouted, “Who touched my soap?!” The whole bathroom went quiet. Nobody answered. My soap never came back, but I got respect. Food is survival of the fittest. Jollof from the buka finishes in 10 minutes. If you don’t run, you’ll eat bread and groundnut till the next alert. I once left my food to pee, came back, and my rice was gone. My roommate said, “Ijeoma, I thought you said you were done.” I said, “I was going to be done after I ate it.” We didn’t talk for three days. But the worst part is visitors. Moremi says “no boys after 6pm,” but boys still come at 5:59pm with a timer. At 6pm you hear “Baba, time don reach” from the porters, and it’s like Nollywood action. Boys jump from the first floor while girls hide them under beds. One day I came back and saw two legs under my bed. I screamed, the legs screamed, and we both apologized. Despite all this, I love it. We share data, share rice, and do midnight gist about boys who don’t text back. We borrow clothes and return them looking better than we gave them. If I fall sick, my roommates knock on every door for drugs. I’m in 200 level now. My bed has tears in the net, my bucket has lost its handle, and my wrapper is now my “going to bathroom” cloth. But if you ask me if I’ll move to an off-campus hostel, I’ll say no. Outside you’ll have light and peace, but you won’t have Kemi reciting Economics at 1am or seven girls fighting over one pot of Indomie at midnight. That’s my hostel reality. No light, no privacy, no one person’s soap. But it was all fun and also no loneliness.

@merokng can you please provide your distributor/supplier contact?

Last week, we stopped by to say hi to one of our newer distributors at Oshodi market, Patrick. He’s already making progress: stocking Merok tees, building his customer base, and introducing more people to quality made-in-Nigeria products. Use Merok T-Shirts for your prints

@QHVZYMY you can reachout for your prelimnary and final estimates.

I need people I can partner with, People with the grit to hold down the forth when another team member is unavailable. My field is filled with a lot of people who will rather stand alone, Not that I blame them, I started out that way too. If you are someone like this, ready to be work when the work is available, I am looking for you. pS; you don’t need to be a pro.

@HabeebOmosidi He is managing it, just that he has donated the profitable part of it for the house owner

@haby47 Ooops… how did the project go?

Dear Building Contractors without a retainer QS, I have a question. How do you negotiate when you go for your tender negotiation meeting without QS? Because 2 things are almost certain to happen. 1. You will be asked to explain how you arrive at your rates and prices. 2. You’ll be asked to adjust the contract sum, the preliminaries and timelines. Do you just negotiate blindly without a QS?

@OloyeSomorin This 10million is even now dependent on the size of the building sef and the regularity of the building elements, circular staircases takes more money than normal one, if na one QS give you quote, u fit think say na cheat he want cheat.

I'm currently in the middle of raising my first storied building in Nigeria and here are my findings. The cost of decking is currently outrageous. My advice is that if applicable that you're better off financially by buying enough land that will fit a sprawling bungalow instead of buying a smaller land and having to build vertically. When it's all said and done the decking alone will consume N10M. A significant percentage of the total build. Good luck to all of us that are currently building during this climate. For my subscribers, I'll be providing a post mortem breakdown of the cost of materials. @IbadanCityNg #PropertyManiaNigeria

My Lagos...Your Lagos....Our Lagos😍🥰 Let the good work continue

@HonMayorDele @Updateboyx Congrats oga ti wa, incoming MHR...maidan orile wa

@Updateboyx Omo iya mi; shey o n fo ni?

Hmm this Kosofe News thou.

@CRawkeen It might not be able to build it sef, depending on the sq.m, foundation and others

Areas like Arepo became liveable not because the government has done anything spectacular there. The same thing with Warewa and some areas on the Island down to Sangotedo. When you say properties are overpriced around these places, just know it’s because of the failure of government. From road to drainage, it’s the developers building houses for sale in these places who champion them. All the government does is to collect building approval money and title perfection . It’s only fair to expect these developers to factor the cost of these things into the prices of the properties . So ,yes, the failure of the government is part of the reasons 70 million naira cannot buy a detached duplex in any decent location now .

@fattylincorn_01 @DesmondOElliot Shey na family inheritance? Make e go rest abeg

Bro, let’s be fair and consistent. @DesmondOElliot deserves another term because experience matters over experiment. After 12 years, he’s a ranking member who can pull more projects: over 30 roads rehabilitated, serious flood control (no major flooding last year due to constant desilting), healthcare support, electricity improvements via metering and injection substation, street lights, and more. Surulere has seen tangible work not perfection, but steady progress from someone embedded in the system who knows how to deliver. Fresh face sounds nice, but without connections and knowhow, it often becomes learn on the job at our expense. On forgiveness, Barakah was forgiven for whatever role/intrigue. Why not Desmond? He has publicly owned his part in the Obasa saga, explained he acted on wrong info, and moved on. Politics is full of such alignments and realignments Tinubu’s camp forgave others too. If we’re preaching unity and second chances in APCLagos, apply it evenly. Desmond has grassroots support and has served, but don’t punish one while forgiving another. Let the people and primaries decide, not selective anger. Surulere, vote experience! Vote Desmond Elliot🙏

@nkenkeenyii @odirah_cellz @anic4uu Best of luck, i presume your building is a one floor building cos it shouldnt be up to that if its bungalow

@haby47 @odirah_cellz @anic4uu Completing tilling

Nigerian man cries out for help after he used his entire N20Million to start building a small bungalow house and now the money has finished but the house is still an uncompleted building.

@CRawkeen As a matter of fact, anywhere in lagos.

@haby47 In Sangotedo ?

If I have the funds to go into development today, I would start with blocks of mini flat residential development that I can sell for 25/30M per unit

@nkenkeenyii @odirah_cellz @anic4uu which stage una dey?

@odirah_cellz @anic4uu Doing a 4 bed now so far we don put 70m and e still Dey chop Dey go . We might close at 80m . Omo building a house now no be am oh

@moakabash Thanks for this, very insightful

Oshodi-Isolo Federal Constituency II is SET for FAIR and transformative representation. Think SET, Think Progress!

Think ₦15M is too small to build a 4-bedroom bungalow in 2026? 🤔🏡 You might be surprised… Many still assume ₦15M is enough — but the reality tells a different story. 📉 Foundation: ₦3,985,000 💰 Up to roofing stage: ₦9,870,000 🏗️ (Blockwork, slabs, wood carcass ₦1,350,000, aluminium 0.55 gauge ₦2,470,000) From foundation to roof: about ₦13.9M — almost the entire ₦15M budget gone. 😳 And this is BEFORE windows, doors, plumbing, electrical, tiling, ceilings, and painting. 🚪⚡🛠️ The truth? Building costs have gone up significantly. 📊 But here’s the good part — with proper planning, phased construction, and the right guidance, your dream home is still very achievable. ✨ Estimated finishing (standard quality): ₦30M – ₦35M 💸 Plan smart. Build wisely. Consult a Quantity Surveyor. 👷‍♂️ #Copied

@akins_olumide When you cant do proper annotation, when it is common sense to put a kitchen sink around the window area for easy plumbing and maintenance concern

@haby47 Are you blind to see the kitchen?

New Release…..

@akins_olumide So you go build house without kitchen for a Lagos Based Client? I doubt if you are an architect cos even me as a qs no go draw this kain thing

@haby47 Why can’t it be done for Lagos based client?
