It is very important to plan before engaging in something. Every space matters. It is important to always seek professional advice and see the possible future before building. A waste space is a waste money
I went to a friend's new apartment that he got. He has been pestering me to pay him a visit after relocation from the mainland to the Island, Lekki to be specific. Which is a geographical location in Lagos Nigeria. The building was good and neat so i decided to look around the compound.
My greatest shock is an abandoned swimming pool. The first questions that popped into my mind was.
Why will the house owner build what he cannot maintain?
Why not use that space for something more beneficial? Probably trees where one can relax.
Is showing off or copying others his motive?
Is he not aware that this space will breed mosquitoes and other disease causing organisms
Did he know that very soon the place will become smelly?
What is the future plan for this abandoned swimming pool space?
... These and more are the questions that came to my head.
In conclusion, if you know you wont need something don't buy or build it no matter how rich you are.
