A Nigerian man who is a builder has elicited mixed reactions on social media after he revealed the sort of house he built for 5 million naira.
The man who goes by the Twitter handle @AbrahamMacHILLS set sparked debate on the micro-blogging platform following revelation on how much he spent on building a mini-bungalow.
“With 5M, I can build this 2 bedroom house for you, if you already have a land,” he wrote in a tweet.
However, thousands of users flooded his page to argue that it is impossible to build such an edifice with merely N5M, sparking controversy over his claim.
Reactions trailing 2 bedroom house built with N5M
Meenorah said: “Can we be civic and ethical, I want to believe this is all cruise. From my little project management experience in this industry, this is NEVER possible, I don’t need BOQ or archi plans, from this little elevation it’s some Internet cruise here.”
mrlurvy penned: “I am not doubting you o, but I doubt 5m will get this.”
PrinceSomorin opined: “It’s impossible to build this for N5M. In my opinion and experience. Attached first frame is N2M as at last years prices. We know things are crazy now prices wise. 2nd frame is current status.”
UNCLE_AJALA added: “1. To me, 5m Naira can’t build this. 2. If you can post the plan of this building with sections, I can calculate what it will cost to build it for you. 3. Can you pls show the interior, let’s see how many toilets you have, your kitchen finishes, pop or pvc design, wardrobes, or interior finishes are not part of the 5m Naira? 4. If you can take us through the process of achieving this with 5m Naira, with materials schedules, labour & profit, I will give you 200,000 for your time..:”
