While we're discussing the economic and future usage of a duplex after the kids must have gone, this man went all out in Nnewi.

At some point building this edifice,it was rumoured that he wanted to demolish it for not being up to his standard

Looks like abroadian house.

see eh, when it comes to people obeying simple rules and regulations, you require very strong institution.

Wonder why a Chinese man will come to Nigeria and start disobeying civil rules? That's because under normal circumstances, humans love being wild and animalistic. Unless there are severe consequences for breaking the law,they will be broken at will. Same Nigerians will touch down at JFK airport and immediately wait in line and not want to cut in.

It's not Nigerians, it's the Nigeria institution and government being lousy


I believe the Government and it's citizen has a role to play, in creating a functional institution.

There was once an agency called WAIC(War against indiscipline and corruption). Not sure the the agency still exist. Can things work in this country of ours without bribing. Ordinary prepaid meter , international passport , drivers license can't be issue without bribing people or officials . God help us

The bolded is
One serious problem!!!

There should be consequences for certain actions.

But some are above these consequences in our country.

what role does the government have in guiding against them? Plenty.

I will use the UK and by implication the USA as an example of the role of the government in such situation. Or better put, the evidence of a strong institution.

In the UK we have HSE - Health and Safety Executive. HSE is a legal act (institution) that guarantee the minimum standard of safety and (health) hygiene of public/private organisations. The managers of the airport toilet know that HSE is a very strong regulatory institution (body) that will not hesitate to impose the appropriate sanction on the airport including closing some section of the airport if not all the airport due to dirty toilets which is a threat to public health. If this happens heads will roll, so the managers ensure the toilets are regularly cleaned. Home and abroad, people mess up toilets. It is not only in Nigeria.

In Nigeria, the toilets are dirty, the officials are largely corrupt, facilities don't work (air conditioning) due to weak regulatory institutions. I can hazard a guess that in the USA, you probably know a body (institution) you would call if your local airport toilet is a threat to public health and you will make that call in confidence that the body will act. In Nigeria, who will you call in confidence to act. Nigeria is a geographical contraption where no one is in charge.



I concur, Nigeria lacks regulation.

Nigeria prefers strong men to strong institutions

It is not going to change anytime soon

Nigeria also has a way of destroying moral values.

Ask those who stood in line for hours and saw those who offered as little as 500 or 1000 to the gate men to jump the queue during the last fuel crises.

Frustrating Stuff.

Thank you for sharing.

Please what's the difference between both types of HDF? Are there significant differences in quality??


For the block boards HDF, the plywoods in it are not plied there are small small blocks of plywoods that are cut inside and joined together, So there is possibility of them falling off if the board is been cut. But for the normal HDF the plywood in it is direct plywoods so it can fall no matter any size you cut them to.

lol which land survey grin does that Design looks like what came from someone willing to do a land survey? They see aerial photos of New York and London and use it to criticize Nigeria government of incompetence but the simple laws layed down to make the city better planning they can't adhere to it.

#Not related to construction.
I need some opinions here.
My debit card was used for some unauthorized transactions on www.shein.com. I never made any purchase on the website before. Thousands of dirhams had already left my account while I was still in shock and confused on what to do. I eventually blocked the card and I contacted my bank.
I also contacted shein.com. the transaction was confirmed and they said the shipment was done already, so there's nothing they can do from their side. I inquired on the details of the user of my card but they declined to disclose this. they only shared an image with some details blurred. they asked me to go through my bank, to file for cashback. Bank asked me to wait as the dispute has been raised already and the investigation may take up to 6 months. I also approached Visa, they again referred me to my bank. Bank would not even attend to me again as I think I was becoming a nuisance by staying back for any miracle to happen, even after telling me to go and they'll get back to me.
I'm just wondering if there is still something else that I can do to increase my chances of recovering my money, rather than to just wait.
I suspect that they probably bought several units of e-gift cards because I did all I did within 24hours. So, physical shipment couldn't have been that fast. I didn't receive any otp, I didn't give anyone my pw in recent time.

Sorry for this horrible experience.
Unfortunately, nothing would happen. At least speaking from my experience with GTB luckily for me, the money was small as I only left small dollars on my card. Your situation might be different but I doubt it.

Your card has been compromised.

Action needed on your part.

1. Deactivate/block the the card completely and discard and request a new one.
2. Check all your online platforms where you buy items and activate second authentication to login to the platforms.
3. Do not allow the platforms to save your card details. Put your details at the point of check out. Mine was compromised on ebay.
4. Your email must have been changed if you have been to the platform the card was used .

Hope this helps.

Very possible. 2x4 is versatile. It can be used for tie-beams, rafters and struts.

Quantity majorly depends on the size of the house, design and pitch of the roof.

Was given a quote of 1,500 for 2x4.

Is this okay?
