Before You Build a House in Nigeria | Flo Finance

[@EbbieOnonye]

My husband is an electrical engineer. When he gets wiring contract from ndi obodo oyibo whose project is being managed by a sibling/relative, he'd say to me, 'chai, if only the man in diaspora knew what his brother is doing with his money.' Some relatives are just major scammers/extorters. This video is very educative for ndi obodo oyibo.

[@ADAOBIEKE]

A recommended Civil engineer or an Architect who has built a lot of buildings in the area will also be good. As for Land registration, a recommended lawyer who is based in the state will help. LOL, I've learnt not to expect too much so it's best to even supervise your supervisor. There are great family members and really terrible ones, to avoid sentiments don't use them .

[@tonyejinwa2904]

Thanks for sharing this informations, I am a victim myself for trusting someone I cared for, but I was wrong and by the time I realized what was happening, it was too late, lesson learned from my past experiences and I put a stop on my house project. Also in your video you showed the stages of building a house but you didn’t include electrical and plumbing work. Can you please give some information on cost of electrification and plumbing. Thanks for the information.

[@nnabugozzy3155]

I had same experience of being ripped off by my brothers. It was so bad, I couldn't believe what I saw, a very big shock to my system. I watch various videos to familiarize myself to different stages of building before proceeding with a particular section. Now I source for workers through KZbin, get different quotations and paying whoever I chose directly.

[@nwanyiigbovlogs]

Yes, there are engineers you can trust,sometimes family members can show you pepper

[@FloFinance]

Yes o, there are good people everywhere. They don't necessarily have to be one's relative.

[@phynnie]

Dear brothers and sisters back home, please stop scamming your relatives that live abroad. This is not just a Nigerian problem. This problem is very common all over the continent and even in the Caribbean. From Ghana to Uganda, Botswana to Liberia, Kenya to Zimbabwe, South Africa, Rwanda, Malawi etc even Jamaica and Haiti. Relatives and friends are scamming and conning their own relatives. Please understand life outside our home countries is very difficult that is why most people who have been living abroad for years start building their own houses back home. My advice to anyone in Diaspora building back home is to take a 3 month unpaid leave and be there yourself to supervise everything. After 3 months you fly back abroad and ask your wife to go home to supervise it for 2 or 3 months. In five months your entire house is finished or 90% done. If you are a single woman or man use your brother or take a 6 month FMLA leave if you live in the US. We must build Africa on our own sweat and there's no room for greedy relatives to steal or scam us. Sending you all love from 🇺🇸and 🇰🇪.

[@SharsHTips]

My land is not the same as my house papers Bast on what your saying it look like there is a problem with cost of building materials saying the price is US dollars and not nira

[@Jossypassion]

I used to be angry that my hubby travels all the time to see his projets. Cos he insisted that without seeing the progress he cannot have the zeal to send money cos he has been scammed several times. Now I understand better. He said that you said it all. But included he also paid the village youths for ọgbọ na eche agụ. I don't know if it is done everywhere or only in enugu state 🤔

[@FloFinance]

😂😂😂 being angry that he is putting eye in his own business. Chai o.

@@FloFinance in benin city, my uncle has stopped his project. He bought at 3800 and moulded 6000 blocks now he wants to do decking they are saying 4500

[@FloFinance]

Chai! But why is it so expensive in Benin? He should enquire from so many places o because there's no way the cement trucks will pass Benin and come to the east yet it's cheaper in the East. Cement was N4,500 last December but that was due to the aftermath of the lockdown. But the price has dropped now. He should ask again.

[@nnabugozzy3155]

@@FloFinance Cement is N4,500 in Imo State too.

[@FloFinance]

Nnabu I guess it's because of the unrest in Imo State. Such pushes prices of everything up. Some of the cement trailer drivers may not even want to come to Imo State at this time.

Is it really advisable to build a house in Nigeria, while you’re leaving and staying in abroad with your family?

[@FloFinance]

Nobody is advising anybody to build anywhere. As adults, this is an individual race. Your money, your house. Choose a location that makes you happy and build/buy.
