Small quarrel with Rivers State seizing Kidney Island, them sell off all their land assets. Other assets lined up to go

Nigerian companies would soon operate alone in this sector, let us hope they all do well, create jobs and develop the economy before value of oil runs out globally

Deban:


Are the pilots and passengers above the law. The fly in in of this passengers into Rivers state has no economic benefit to Rivers state. They fly in from Lagos and leave the state in ruins. They live in Lagos and spend in Lagos. They should work in Lagos.
Rivers state had got nothing to lose if they stop flying in. After all, MEND shut down the oil industry a fee years ago for all the injustice. The injustice continues. Do, if COVID19 issues will help shut down the oil industry in Rivers State and let them have a clean environment to fish and farm, better for them.
The FG is so insensitive to the common man and can not even provide decent hospitals to fight against COVID19. Why risk the health of Rivers residents when they gain nothing from the passengers of the Caverton helicopters?

FG - close the air space in Rivers State, shut down Omagwa and NAF base permanently
Work to end Oil production just like Ogoni, move the Oil to Offshore Operations.. we all know the oil price would soon teach us all sense over a few years time..
Leaders refuse to be wise about leadership stigma.. detaining Pilots etc.. there is due process. if it is followed, the right thing can always be done and taken up properly.. behaving like a military leader is not best practice...

In other news... Social Distancing has been suspended for religious gathering this weekend.. "Comedy State".. well. No Commander in Chief.. I miss Obasanjo.. World Class Leader..

Clear reason not to have an office in that region, just not worth it, in fact I bet the companies to start looking for countries to move their investment to.

To continue to invest in this climate is just a foolish decision, at least till the Federal Govt and the region sort their problems..... Local companies would take over from the international firms.... Una never see pollution .....short cut Naija way by firms would be crazy

FG owns 55% of all Joint ventures, who has really failed? Who are you then threatening?

Politics / Re: Attacks: We Won’t Leave Nigeria, Say Oil Firms by ahf(m): 1:51pm On Jun 12, 2016
Not true, IOC have their scenario planned, and exit is not impossible if not now, Ask Warri people, how Shell pulled out of there.

To be honest, a region as unpredictable as this is a hazard, irrespective of the reserves or volumes produced

There gets a level where the trouble is not worth it, even if millions if barrel are produced, always better for any firm to operate in a sane business climate where things work.

IOC operate Joint Ventures where NNPC holds 55%, so who really had failed the region...

The time would soon come when the oil would be worthless and the region would have labeled themselves conflict ridden... Then we would see the real pains.....

See what our past leaders have caused us and how low our country has become, where "Dodgy Dave" Prime Minster of the country which houses the "Money laundering Capital of the world" has now assigned himself the responsibility to identify and label corrupt nations.

Well, the "fantastically hypocritical society" who stash loot in Panama, hide and prevent return of stolen loot, and join the Church and homosexuality in one".. what was I really expecting from the PM?.... after all their hypocrisy is part of the reason for the mess in Libya, Iraq etc..

This question is a current big problem of a lot of jobs seen. To be fair, some jobs don't have the algae problem.

Thus, what causes the algae?

I have thought about this a lot and even did some research on this. But the problem is the perception of our people when they think that every floor must be concrete to survive the tropics. I know of lots of colonial buildings here in Enugu done with wooden deck and I still frequent those offices and nothing dey happen.

But before we think of wooden floors, we must remember that there are special woods for the floors. Another problem is that the engineers in our government approval process might never approve a building plan prepared with wooden floors.

Pls do you know the cost per sqm for this laminate wooden floor? picture attached

We never planned for her to have the baby there, she was going to spend 3 or 4 weeks as usual strictly for shopping. But we decided in the 2nd week that she could just stay over and have the baby there. Now as for the bills, we called the hospital where she was gonna give birth and we made inquries regarding what the bills were like, and we were told that its gonna cost us $8,000, but since shes a foreign patient, she's eligible to 52% off of the total amount, with the bill being calculated to $4,000 plus, I knew I could afford it. Not until after birth, I saw what was an estimated clinic bills: 6k, and hospital bill $16kplus. This although was due to the fact that she had to be attended to specially due to some minor complications during labor.

Now if I am gonna have to pay,they'll have to cancel the medical insurance, and also they'll slash the bill 52% off, which will still bring about an affordable amount for me to pay.

ayinba1:
Whatever you set out to do, write and save all correspondence. If you tell the hospital to return the money to medicaid, write a letter, send it with registered mail. Save receipts or any payments that you make.

The only story the embassy likes to hear is self pay with evidence, any other story draws plenty questions and a possible denial. One wrong thing people do is use medical aid meant for resident Americans, a friend paid the price for this and was denied renewal.

Moral of story - full self pay if you want to deliver in USA
Gives you best chance of renewal, but doesn't even guarantee renewal (depending if you lied about other issues at application stage)
Properties / Re: From Paper To Brick: Construction Of A Semi-detached Duplex by ahf(m): 5:58am On Apr 13, 2013
brabus: The choice of casement or sliding windows is a matter of taste and function.

Sliding windows are my preferred choice to use between two living spaces because they don't take up space when open.
In my personal opinion and in my case 'cos I'm building a house with a wraparound terrace, I choose functionality over beauty.

In situations of need to open windows (PHCN failure etc), sliding windows only open half (one side) and that limits air flow

brabus: ^^^ My Big Bros!!!

The cost benefits of using Marine Plex Plywood over Traditional Timber is so much. Here are few reasons you might want to give it a trial.

Smooth Finish: It is possible to have smooth finish where cost in surface finishing is involved. Thus saving you the cost of plastering the slab.

Labour Cost Reduction: Marine Plywoods come in large size panels which means it is possible to earn some savings in the labour cost/time of fixing and removal.

Reusable: Unlike Timbers, marine plywooda can be reused for numerous times. Huge savings for people building more than one house.

Lightweight: the weight of a typical formwork panel (1800mm x 1200mm x 17mm) is 18kg. It can be easily transported from site to site.

Lastly, always keep in mind the impact of disposal. Of all building products, planks presents the greatest concerns when it comes to reuse or disposal. The plywood on the other hand presents least concern.

The cost of a sheet of plywood (1800mm x 1200mm) ranges between N6,000 - N8,500 while a plank (300mm x 3600mm) costs N950.

Lets assume we want to cover a sitting room which is about 30sqm, we will use 10 sheets of plywood which will cost about N50,000 or use 30 pcs of 1 x 12 planks which will cost about N30,000

Good analysis !!!!

In the spirit of this, could you kindly help compare and contrast - Sliding Windows vs Casement Window. Merits and Demerits.

Government Land in the hands of land speculators. Most of the owners are civil servants who cannot afford the construction cost within that area.

Yeah, you are quite right, they are awaiting the price to go up before selling. This is the reason government schemes never reach the masses.Hope the LASG would reform the allocation process for their schemes, and possibly start to modify/invoke the CofO clause which prescribes you must develop within 2years of allocation. Pianful as it may sound, it benefits the generality of people more than the few at Alausa.

I don't see why Lekki phase 2 shouldn't have been fully occupied by now.
