Godswill said he bought tiles and zinc at a very high cost and came on social media to lament.
He was reacting to the news about the federal government being in talks with cement manufacturers to reduce the cost.
He did not mention if the cement he bought was Dangote Cement or BUA Cement.
Godswill wrote on X, formerly Twitter:
"Bought cement N13k yesterday in Warri, I sighed in disbelief when someone bought materials for me today, not just cement, tiles, zinc and other building materials are increasing day by day, they're not even coming down."
Meanwhile, a price survey carried out by Legit.ng showed that a bag of cement now sells between N10,000 and 12,000.
However, a Nigerian man disclosed that he bought a bag of cement at the cost of N7800 in Kaduna state. He said he bought it at a reduced price as the seller returned some money to him after he had left.

Man uses empty bags of cement to farm
In a related story, Legit.ng reported that a Nigerian man living in Abuja devised a creative means of farming within the confines of his compound to counter economic hardship.
The man's daughter, @ecstacy, said her father used bags filled with loamy soil to plant his yams.
The empty Dangote and BUA cement bags were filled with the rich soil, and pieces of yam were inserted into them and then nourished with water.
