Roofing help wanted: Yakubu's home in Lagos
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Lagos?
🇳🇬 Lagos, Nigeria428 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Lagos. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $860, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy who can help over three weekday mornings.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. I'll provide lunch, water and lots of thanks.
The work will be done on the ground and roof with proper harnesses. If you can only help for a few hours, that's welcome too.
I hope life is good to you.

Sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Yakubu. This could happen to any of us.
sending good thoughts. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. It's not much but it's yours.
Good luck, Yakubu. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
