Dangote 3X is still N2,250 plus N50 to deliver to site for me in my enclave in Ibadan.

I wish I could hoard but the fear of bags of cement turning to rock concerns me.

I used chinese door but regretted it as constant rain has damaged it. When replacing it in 2018 i will use fabricated steel doors.

Mai Gard opens gate and washes cars. Goes on easy errands like pay NEPA bill etc. Sweeping of compound is done by a lady cleaner.

These fabricated steel doors , what do they look like?

Oga last page please i need your help here, IT related question.

Can i send free bulk sms through my email account? We have a meeting of our Landlords association and the names plenty to send sms to. We are trying to start up the association. The sms is to share the date n time , venue and agenda in advance.

Secondly i suggested a power Point presentation for the meeting, so that we can do something different from the norms in the area. Make it look professional and not a town market stuff.

Others in the house with informations can please help out

gmail is not a bulk sms provider. gmail is a bulk email provider.

You can also go the route of creating a WhatsApp group for your landlord's association and then broadcast your message there for all to see and read.

There are two ways to it.

1.) Anonymity to protect a whistle blower

2.) No Anonymity to ensure that people dont hide under it, to blow whistle for VENDETTA! (false whistles! )



But we can learn from how it is done in advanced climes:

*If it is common financial crimes of stealing/looting/ill-gotten wealth, you dont need anonymity because you are doing the right thing and you should even be proud to announce that "this good to society" was done by ME!


*If it is whistle on say "Organized Crime", Govt has a duty to protect the whistle blower.


And dont forget, there is money to be paid to the Whistle-blower! We dont want the CEO of the Whistle-blowing Enterprise, to start "paying himself" instead of the real person that blew the whistle, so "a level of transparency" must be involved.

SMS goes through the GSM network so to say and usually not free.
You can buy "bulk SMS" service from a Network provider (assuming you want to send to their phone numbers).
Other 'web' operators also sell bulk SMS via the web, for example, REBTEL.

I will assume you know their Email Address as well.
You can send Multiple Emails to all the Addresses AT ONCE... just write one Email and include everyone's address in the "Cc" part but if you dont want everyone to know you sent to the other, use the "Bcc" (blind copy) and that is it, even of they dont have WhatsApp or other such Social media methods


Secondly: Its a good idea to use Power Point tot explain things... better understanding and professionalism!
But you must consider that there are many people and the single Laptop may not be big enough for all to see.
Do you have a Projector you can blast it unto for all to see?

Alternatively,
How about putting your Power Point presentation into a "Flyer" pamphlet (re-photocopied and distributed to all) if you dont have a Projector?
That way, they can follow you or even take it home to have a second look-over!

Sorry, my afternoon 'free time' just expired so l am in a rush!

Bros we have a constitution now that guides the association. The first set of people elected themselves and used our money to build thier houses and buy cars join. People like us that used to sit on the fence now said it will no longer be business as USUAL, thier was push backs but we stood our ground.
Yours throughly is the financial officer and i can tell you while the Landlords are happy about it, The cabals Landlords dey try instigate a revolt amongst thier loyalist.
To lead no easy, naa here i see am.
Part of the innovation i want to bring to the table is the power Point presentation approach during meetings, secondly instead of prayers we will sing the pledge or national anthems.

You need something better so when you decide to put some load on it, the load will not put too much pressure on the generator.
I have the one below and it was purchased for N140k before the rise in prices due to forex started.
I use it in my BQ, but my friend who had the same uses his own in a 5 Bedrooms Duplex with lights loaded
and two AC of 1HP going does nothing to the performance of it. The fuel consumption is very good and lasted
more than 14hrs none-stop on a full tank and very, very silent. My said friend love it so much and even bought the 10kva of the same.
Very quiet with infrared remote control going thru the wall and distance. Although I intend to buy a standalone 20KVa, this
little gem will still be my good backup when that happens. But for now this is a good unit.
I have recommended same to some Nairalanders here and they also love it; may be they will see this and testify to it.
I think it's around N160k now, but not sure. If you are interested, I can find the dealer info and post it here later.

Hajji M.

Oga Hajj,
Our country don spoil finish. I contacted chudy (the authorized dealer) and he said, that generator now goes for 250k.
Count yourself lucky bro for buying it at that amount.

Re: Whistle blowing, I am actually putting finishing touches to the details I have been collating regarding blowing the whistle on an ex-NNPC employee that I know, Good thing is, I will not pass the information to the government myself but rather through a proxy, I don't care if any incentives comes back to me because I can say the person to be whistle blown on is a family member so this is not a malicious effort but just angry at how everyone is complacent to this and we expect Nigeria to get better.

We all know these "Civil" servants who have multiple houses around the country with children in expensive schools abroad and even houses abroad. We all know their salaries are not adequate enough for this but no one speak about this but rather blame the government.

I just pray for Good Health for PMB to be able to better implement this initiative. Nigeria is completely rotten and no one seems to care.

PS: I don't live in naija but hope to do so full time at some point and it would be good to come back to a sane society at some point.
