The man mixed sand with water as he moulded the localised bricks without any cement.
@ojmoney55, who spoke in the background, said cement was now N9k and people needed to be thinking of alternatives.
"If you like, dey deceive yourself say house no be house. Cement don turn to N9k. N9k per pack, Dangote cement..." he said.
Nigerians have appealed to the federal government to summon Dangote Plc, BUA Plc and others over the rising price of cement.

Cement prices hit new high
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Nigerians had groaned as cement prices hit new high in six days.
Findings show that in many parts of the country, the price of building materials has recently been steadily rising from N6,000 to N6,500 to over N9,000.
The Guardian reported that the cement price rose to N8,000 in Benue state as many builders were unaware of the sudden price change.
The periodic increase in the product's price has made retailers halt sales, fearing that manufacturers might increase prices soon.
