LMFSO! Old boy, you don dey kolo small-small.

We expect a rise in the level of the Atlantic Ocean on the Lagos coastline in a few days. Nothing as dramatic as that of New York and other parts of the United States though. Ahmadu Bello Way and adjoining streets on Victoria Island may be flooded. I think it is not a new thing but I don't think I can live in that area.
NOR MAKE PEOPLE FEAR O

Because the cost of building your house only on bricks will render you permanently poor for life.. Plus your insurance will be back breaking.

No wonder. This really helps, thanks

This time around, its not suicide bomb hitting gigantic buildings but many lives are lost.. Rumours had it that WTC bombings were....traced to whitehouse.
I dnt know why, many of these occurences, i just see the extra-physical perspective.

iykak47: Why do the Americans build their houses out of wood (pako)instead of block despite that the country is prone to natural disaster undecided
so they can rebuild the cities anew when the need be. Building with wood makes relocation easy, costs less and maintenance is less expensive.

knowledge4: Jesus, I thank you that hurricanes do not happen in Nigeria.
However, we have our own share of disasters too - religious wars,B.H,election riots,fuel riots,border clashes,floods etc.
If 5% of the magnitude of Hurricane Sandy had occurred in any part of Nigeria,how would we have coped in a nation where it takes about 24 hours to respond to a plane crash? I hope the Nigerian government and our armchair emergency services can learn a lesson from this disaster.
Jesus, I thank you.

We have our own share/type of natural disaster in our Leadership.

I wouldnt know for sure.. However;

I'm sure that Masons and Labourers there dont collect 3000 Naira & 1500 Naira per like in Naija.. Blocks are definitely not 50 naira per block and also, Insurance for a full brick house is not gonna be beans either..

Nolita dumpster divers feast on $40K worth of fancy tossed out food/ report by Simone Weichselbaum

It's getting that bad in still blacked out downtown Manhattan?

Dozens of city residents frustrated with day-two of a dark Gotham swarmed a Nolita garbage bin filled with $40,000 of pricy fresh food. Met Food supermarket workers at the corner of Prince St. and Mulberry St., had to toss scores of garbage bags packed with foodie eats like Pom pomegranate juice, soy chai latte, organic eggs, and Ben and Jerry's ice cream, clearing the shelves in the wake of Sandy's aftermath.

Shop owner Paul Fernandez said his store - like most of Manhattan south of 40th St. - has been without power since the storm hit Monday forcing him to trash the entire deli section along with all his meats and dairy products.

"I had to throw out all of my perishables. I can't sell it to anybody. It's like $40,000 worth of food. We carry a lot of specialty item and organically," Fernandez said watching hordes of people packing shopping carts and backpacks with his groceries.

"I didn't expect this kind of a turnout. They are taking advantage." NYU student Ilana Breen, 20, said she'd been wandering the streets all day looking for a working ATM or an open store in order to buy food. Her apartment on E. 23rd St. is without power rotting grub in the fridge.

"We just saw all these people in the Dumpster. This isn't a trash can. This is a heap of food," Breen said showing off a $7.49 bottle of organic vanilla chai she found.

"We don't have any power. I have this book bag and we are going to come back with a suitcase." The Pena family from nearby Grand St. in the Lower East Side got a tip from a friend about the food-find and walked to Nolita with a small shopping cart.

Their son Brian Pena, 20, spent over an hour in the Dumpster tearing open trash bags tossing groceries to his dad and people too embarrassed to ask for the nosh. "I am just helping the people," Pena said tossing boxes of frozen veggies.

"No one wanted to come inside so I am pulling open the bags and giving food." Down the block, Paradise Deli and Grocery was open using a dozen candles to the light the dark store. Owner Aziz Benani watched the Dumpster - divers losing his customers to the free pile of food.

"Yesterday, the Korean around the corner was the only store open and he was busy. " "Now we just opened. And it's slow," Benani said.
