It’s great to have a reliable person in the family to handle your project. Trust is lacking in our society and to have her avail her self to you and you trusting her is commendable.
Thank you! It's indeed a blessing to have a reliable and trustworthy person like my aunt handling the project. Trust is crucial, especially in situations where you can't always be present to oversee the work
Yes. Trust Is Lacking With Some Families In Nigeria 🇳🇬 I Lost Alot Of Money In Nigeria. Not Trustworthy Milking Families. They Think Because We Are Living Here In USA That There Is Money Trees. I Almost Go Into Deep Depression When Family Member Financially Did Me Bad. I Have Learned My Lesson And Scared To Trust. I Have 7 Years To Retired In USA. I Want To Start Building On My Lands In Nigeria.
@@AfricanUSA-th9ov Thank you! It's indeed tough when trust is lacking, especially with some families in Nigeria. I've heard similar stories, and it's disheartening. However, it's crucial to stay optimistic and plan carefully.
It's understandable to feel apprehensive, but with the right people and careful planning, your projects can be successful. Best of luck with your plans.
What a reliable woman your sister is. You must be proud of her. I have a similar sister and she will be supervising a new house I am about to start building. Any diasporan who has a reliable relative in Nigeria is lucky. Most people are unreliable.
Absolutely, I'm incredibly proud of her. It's truly a blessing to have someone reliable and trustworthy to supervise a project back home. Best of luck with your new house, and I wish your sister all the best.
A GOOD NAME IS BETTER THAN RICHES..... HER LEGACY WILL FLOW INTO GENERATIONS TO COME.. WE ALL ENVY HER, HOW I WISH WE COULD ALL HAVE SUCH AN AMAZING PERSON IN OUR LIFE, MOST ESPECIALLY IN OUR FAMILY OR FAMILIES... MAY GOD BLESS HER DEAR HEART....... 🎉👍👏
SUCH A WONDERFUL VIDEO👍👍👍 BRO
Thank you so much for your kind words! A good name is indeed better than riches, and I'm truly blessed to have her in my life. Her dedication and support mean the world to me, and I'm grateful for her every day. May God bless her dear heart. Thanks for watching and appreciating the journey! 🎉👍👏
We still have few people in nigeria who are honest and send thanks to you, sister. My brother is like that he will send me before and after pictures and first phase if the project is completed in less than a year shout to my brother too.
It's wonderful to hear that you also have someone trustworthy helping you with your project. Shout out to your brother for his dedication and integrity. It's a blessing to have honest and reliable family members supporting us. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Wow God bless your Auntie o, she’s a blessing indeed.
Thank you very much!
Your auntie is amazing. God will bless her🤲🏾🤲🏾
Thank you so much
Oludumare will bless you abundantly in life, it is so rewarding to be honest and committed in this life, too much corner cornering with people, stay blessed sista 😇🥰
Amen! Thank you so much for your heartfelt blessings.
Thank you for being transparent about the building duration. I really appreciate your sister,too. That means your family must be good. Congratulations to you all!!!
Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words. It has indeed been a long journey, but with the support of my wonderful sister, we made it through.
Big shout out to your auntie...she's amazing!
Thank you so much! Yes, my auntie has been incredible throughout this entire process. I couldn't have done it without her support and dedication. Big shout out to her indeed!
You are blessed and highly favoured IJMN. ❤
Thank you so much! I truly appreciate your kind words. May you also be blessed and highly favored. ❤
Nice one bro, I like ur management skills, we have to give people some level of trust to deliver. There are still honest people out there, like ur Aunty.
Thank you! Trust is definitely important, and having honest people like my aunt makes a big difference.
It’s a neat House & the paint was so accurate to the design. Charles was been transparent about his house project in Nigeria. It’s not easy to build a house; especially far distance like Africa to Canada. I’m happy with your final results. Yes, Sister been honest with you about everything. My House Project is only 3yrs old 95% completed. More Grace. UK to Nigeria Project. Oops!
Thank you! Building a house from afar is definitely a journey, and it's incredible to see it all come together in the end. Kudos to you on your project too, 95% completed in just 3 years is impressive!. Wishing you more grace and success as you finish up.
@@CharlesOtti
I was lucky to have kick started after Covid lockdown. 6 bedrooms duplex house consume much money and energy on a landscape of 1265sq metres. I haven’t able to physically see the upstairs. Similar story like yours. God will continue to strengthen our endeavour efforts. Your House is value for Money 👍🏾🇳🇬
@@princeemperor24hrmobileltd55 It's amazing that you've managed such a significant project remotely, Seeing it for the first time in person will be a special moment. God will indeed continue to strengthen our efforts. Wishing you all the best with your project, and may it bring you great joy and fulfillment! 🇳🇬
congratulations to you my Brother, a big thank you to your sister. having a good person on ground is the best because is not easy mustly for some of us that lives abroad. My Brother did all my projects for me inculding my dream Home, a shopping plaza, some rented partments, a farm lands. ETC and I am so grateful for him and I pray for him and appreciate him every day. your sister did a great job for you and may GOD bless her. congratulations ones again. I also leave in Canada 🇨🇦 with my family. is very good to appreciate good people that do good things.
Thank you so much for your kind words! It's truly a blessing to have reliable and supportive family members who can manage such significant projects while we're abroad. Your brother sounds amazing, handling all your projects with such dedication. A big thank you to both our siblings for their incredible efforts and support. Congratulations on all your accomplishments as well, and may God continue to bless our families. Living in Canada, we truly understand the value of having trustworthy people back home. Thank you again, and all the best to you and your family!
@@CharlesOttio yes ooo my Brother, we are best to have a good family member and I thank GOD for that. Amen to all your prayers and my regards to your family.
That your auntie is a rock, beautiful and trust worthy. I wish I knew her like 10years ago, I would have been the most happiest person but I thank God. Love you auntie, I hope to meet you someday I live in ogun state too.
Thank you for your kind words! My auntie truly is amazing, and her trustworthiness has been a huge blessing for this project. It's great to hear that you're also in Ogun State, maybe one day you'll have the chance to meet
God bless your aunty. She did an amazing job right there. ✅️
One of the most helpful tips or advice is letting us know how long the process has taken and what it's like getting to the final stages.
I for one was encouraged when I learned that you've been on it for 7 years, it just eases the pressure because I'm on similar project (4 bedroom duplex) for 2.5 years and even though it's close to the completion stage i.e. starting interior etc. Sometimes I just hope that it's actually faster but seeing your videos and hearing your stories makes me feel encouraged and less pressured. I also had to wait several months of doing nothing but just praying and God being faithful, before you know it, He makes a way and big progress is made... Currently in the waiting stage again but will resume again soon by God's grace, and I'm thankful for the waiting period also, because I learn a lot in the process. I've definitely learned so much from you that will be very helpful when I resume the final stage(s).
Thanks a lot brother🙏 and God bless you for sharing so much with us. I can't wait to see the video of when you finally move in.
Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your own building journey. It's great to hear that my videos have been encouraging and helpful to you. Building projects can indeed be long and challenging, but staying patient and trusting in the process can lead to beautiful outcomes. I'm glad to hear that you're nearing the completion stage of your duplex and that you've found value in the waiting periods as well. Keep pushing forward, and I look forward to seeing your project's progress too. Best of luck with your project, and God bless you too!
Congratulations to your project. You are blessed
Thank you! I appreciate your kind words
Good job bro. Keep inspiring us
Thank you, I will
God bless you ma, for helping your nephew to bring up this beautiful structure.
Thank you so much 🙂
As always, I’m happy to see the progress of this project. I have started molding blocks, but the family members take forever to accomplish anything. They literally use the money, to pay back later.(Then make endless excuses) They end up delaying the project, the excitement, and the desire to continue.😃 Your aunty is a blessing! Thanks for the update.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I understand how challenging it can be when projects are delayed and excitement wanes. I’m really fortunate to have my aunt, who has been a tremendous help and a blessing in this journey. Keep pushing forward and stay positive-your hard work and patience will pay off. I'm glad you're enjoying the updates!
Well done 🎉🎉🎉slow and steady wins the race. 😊
Thank you! Absolutely, taking it step by step has been key. It's all coming together beautifully.
I followed your update on this project. It is interesting,helpful, and successful. Well done, Charles.
Thank you! I appreciate your kind words and support.
Abeg Thank Aunty wella, It's not easy to find someone like her.
Absolutely, my Aunty has been a true blessing throughout this journey. Her dedication and hard work have made all the difference. Thank you for the kind words
You have done so well in inspiring people to build back home. You have shown that good and trustworthy people still exist as you made a good example of your sister who was the pillar behind these achievements. So many people don't realise the battles, struggles and sweat that went into this project, they can only see the outcome. I will definitely contact you to pick your brain on farming in Nigeria as i just acquired an acre of land as well somewhere in Ibadan. Good luck!
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad my journey has been inspiring. Feel free to reach out whenever you're ready to discuss farming in Nigeria. I'm here to help!
Aunty of all aunties. Will definitely use for my project.
All the best
Thank you 🙏🏾
Big congratulations and very great job new friend ❤
Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words and support.
People asking for location of the house, what's your intention to know where the house is located? Is the information regarding how to build your home, cost implications provided in his video not enough? Evil minded people 🙄 . Am pretty sure Charles is smart enough not to disclose is location.
The house is in Southwest. Is that enough information to everyone. We love building a good house in SW, too, and they are lots and lots of them.
Thank you for your concern. While I appreciate everyone's interest and support, it's important to prioritize safety and privacy. The purpose of these videos is to share helpful information and insights about the building process, costs, and challenges. Your understanding and respect for privacy are much appreciated. Let's focus on the knowledge and inspiration we can gain from this journey. 😊👍
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Please, who did your windows
@@Letjusticereign You will have to contact my aunt, she will connect you
May the Lord bless your aunt for her great support.
Amen! She has been a blessing indeed.
Appreciate, appreciate appreciate aunty. It is not easy to get someone trustworthy. Bravo.!
Absolutely! I can't appreciate my aunt enough for her incredible support and trustworthiness. It truly makes a world of difference. Bravo to her indeed! 🎉🙏
@@CharlesOtti Did you have a great experience with your floor tiler? If you did, pls can you share his/her contact details. Appreciate
@@Favoulites I was not in the country during that stage, My aunt took care of it for me, you can contact her. And i had no issue.
@@CharlesOtti Thanks buddy
You're a lucky guy. Your sister is a good person.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
You are lucky to have a good aunty.
Thank you! Yes, I am truly fortunate to have such a supportive aunt. She played a significant role in making this house a reality, and I'm very grateful for her help.
Well done, Charles. I’ve got land as well in Ogun state that has been recently purchased and the daunting task of building from scratch…
Thank you! Building from scratch can be a big challenge, but it's also very rewarding. If you need any advice or tips along the way, feel free to reach out. Good luck with your project in Ogun State!
Your aunt is an asset so, take good care of her ❤
Absolutely, she truly is an asset. I'll make sure to take good care of her and appreciate everything she's done. Thank you for your kind words and support! ❤
Charlse i think you need a solid large woden front door to bring out the beauty of this magnificient house.
Thanks for your suggestion! A solid large wooden front door would indeed add a touch of elegance to the house. I’ll consider it for sure. Appreciate your input!
Huge house on a large plot of land. Good idea to buy in Ogun state. That plot of land will cost a lot in Lagos. You're very lucky with your Aunty.
You're absolutely right! Buying land in Ogun state was a strategic decision, especially considering the cost differences compared to Lagos. My aunt has indeed been a blessing in this project.
I will be using the same color of paint on my house too
Awesome
You are lucky ❤ Thank her on our behalf
Thank you! I truly am lucky to have such an amazing aunt. I will definitely pass on your thanks to her
Great work as always my brother. Why don’t you leave the car driveway/parking by the white sand closer to the wall on the right side?
I am thinking having the front of the house full of green and flowers and not having a driveway will be nice. Just a thought. Keep up the good work brother.
That sounds like a lovely idea! Having a driveway-free front with greenery and flowers can create a beautiful and welcoming entrance to your home. It's great to see your creative thinking in landscaping your house.
@@CharlesOtti you’re welcome my brother. Thank you
You're lucky to have her, bro. i wish i had someone like her when i started my first project.
Congratulations to you brother, you movitvate me a lot.
I went home late April this year for groundbreaking of another project. To God be the glory, we achieved DPC and slab(Decking) before i left.
As of today, the first floor block work is completed.
Please, i need the contact information of the person who did your metal bacony upstairs.
Is he also the one that fabricated the new gate?
That's great progress on your project! I'm glad to hear that things are moving along smoothly. Regarding the metal balcony upstairs and the new gate here is his contact 07038200100 .
Thank you so much.
I'm gonna reach out to him and your tiler as well.
👏👏👏👏 to auntie
Thanks for the support!
Trees can partially block your solar panels from getting it's maximum wattage capacity.
Thanks for pointing that out! I've considered the impact of larger trees on solar panels and decided to go with dwarf trees instead. This way, we get the greenery and shade without compromising the efficiency of the solar system. Appreciate the suggestion and support!
God bless you madam 🙏
Thank you for your kind words! God bless you too 🙏
I just followed you bro, carry me along, I’m in Canada and I have projects going on in Nigeria.
Thanks for following, bro! I appreciate the support. It's great to hear you have projects going on in Nigeria too
Bro Charles I call the printer guy for my project in Ogun state ….is the guy trustworthy
Yes he is, i had no issue with him.
Thanks to mama jay she has been a wonderful sister from the beginning to the end of the projects thank you so much God bless you
Absolutely, Mama Jay has been incredible! Her support from start to finish has been invaluable. Thank you so much for your kind words
I Will Be Contacting Her Soon Here In Chicago Illinois USA. I Have Lands In Okun Ajah/Okun Mopo Facing The Atlantic Ocean That I Have Fenced. I Am Planning To Build 6 Flats For My Retirement And To Rent Out. I Also Have 6 Plots In Epe For Farming
Thank you for your interest! Feel free to reach out anytime. Your lands in Okun Ajah/Okun Mopo sound amazing, especially with that ocean view. Building 6 flats for retirement and rental sounds like a solid plan. And having 6 plots in Epe for farming is fantastic! Best of luck with your projects, and I'm here if you need any advice or help along the way.
Well done. Very inspiring. Can I ask which part of Nigerian are you building?
Thank you! I'm building in Ogun State. It's a great location with a lot of potential for development.
Are you not Nigerian? Why say “it’s your Canadian brother” even if you have lived in Canada before. Anyways nice work here, looks beautiful. Cheers.
I understand your point. I was born and raised in Nigeria but currently live in Canada. I often refer to myself as your Canadian brother to indicate my current location and context. Thank you for the compliment on the work!

Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words. As for the cost, it can vary depending on many factors like location, materials, and labor. I'll need to check the exact figures and will share a detailed breakdown in one of my upcoming videos. Stay tuned for more updates!
Please, can i have the contact of the guy that did your windows, thank you

Thank you for reaching out, my brother. I'll definitely ask my sister if she's interested in helping with your project.
Basically! how many times u say basically ?😂
Basically, Basically, that's the poor use of English language. It is rife with youths of UK 🇬🇧 and London Town.
Haha, I know I tend to say "basically" a lot! It's one of those filler words that just slips in. Thanks for pointing it out, I'll try to keep it in check. Glad you're enjoying the videos!
@@CharlesOtti no problem brother. You can not please everyone. I like your program though.
Where is the location, please
What do you need the location for ?
