There is someone oh...that is why I still insist she is at fault no matter the excuses she gave.... Well, deducting 10k from her salary for 3 months for her to learn from her mistakes

. . . pardon me if this has already been answered but you might try getting this "moniepoint" (no advert intended) P.O.S terminal, i see em on rampant these days. Apart from a means of payment, one can make transfer to its number and staff could view the account transaction via the terminal itself (this should ease you out of having to go meet your supervisor each time for confirmation).

NB: Like i said, not an advert. Experienced it on various stores while making payments in this emefewiele era.

Good morning everyone

Are there other options for ceilings asides PVC, pop and slates.
I know there has been several arguments on the thread against PVC (aiding combustion during fire outbreaks, durability).

POP is out of the equation for me considering the initial capital outlay and the going rate for rent in my vicinity. I am left with PVC and slates or any other option available.

Also my carpenter is advising we do the ceiling first before plastering so the plaster can have a fine finishing over the ceiling wood as the wood no de straight sometimes.

Please share your thoughts.

Good afternoon,

Thanks for your response.

Please do you have a seller in Abuja you can recommend?

see eh, anyone with DStv is already living the good life.

Question is, where person go gather 200k for the kits first and then subsequent payment of 20k weekly. Add that to your mobile subscription which you need whenever you're away from the particular environment.

Car updates na for people with good cars. Many people with car just give Engr Chinedu his car to check plug or radiator in the course of diagnostic

Many wrong and outdated info in these your post.

The Starlink hardware device cost about N440,000 with a monthly subscription cost of about N31,000.
The naira rate you see on the starlink website is just a front end thing and where the dollar cost is being automatically calculated based on the google rate feed (CBN rate) , the payment itself does not accept naira payment, you will pay in dollars so you have to use the black market rate.

Also Nigeria is not the only African country with Starlink service now. There is Starlink in Rwanda at least. But Nigeria WAS the first to get service.

The high cost is not entirely his making. The exchange rate is just too high coupled with parallel market disparity.

Per the plastering before ceiling or ceiling before plastering, I would go for any method that would not allow gaps for insects to crawl in.

Remember also that what they did those days was mostly surface wiring and not half conduit.
Secondly the wires were different. It had another thick insulation after the individual red and black insulation which served as the PVC pipe. Also the wires were not passed through ceiling, instead holes were drilled through walls.

The half conduit which you asked earlier is a totally new invention were single wires (red and black ) are passed through the ceiling without pvc. That is the one that makes me cringe.

Lastly, full conduit is a different ball game.

Did you ever live in Ketu, Lagos?
What a nostalgic summary!!

Cables used in those days have double insulation and not single core like what we used these days. He can do half conduit if he is ready to buy double insulation type and its more expensive than single cores .

Sir, Your materials delivered yesterday as promised to Owerri. Also, your contact has picked from ITC office too

Thanks

There is a specific payment option for it.

We are talking high data usage not tik tok or WhatsApp are aiming for true unlimited internet at 5G speed not 2G, something that fast.
and dont forget, most of us dreaming of this do not live in Nigeria and so farStarlink is the only thing that can match the kind of data flow we are used to.MTN is shyte

Yes, they suggested Payday, which uses the black market rate as well. I can't imagine any payment option will use the bank rate.

There is NONE Oga. No need to argue on this one. Starlink specifically states on that page that folks should uses services like payday, barter and the likes to pay, all of which are all black market rate. But if you insist, maybe you can help me order at the rate you're saying, I will add 20% for your inconvenience.

One guy is even helping people to order at the rate of 800$…. Not cheap at all

if only you invited the structural engineer you wouldn’t have to brainstorm. what’s difficult that can’t be achieved there, coz the architect did a good job and i think he intentionally wanted to punish someone here 😁😁😁

So being structural engineer mean know it all.. Right?


On the contrary.. it's challenging and not punishment as I admitted I haven't done something like that before... it's not just a pergola

So who told you structural engineer is not standing there?

Bro i have no time to trade words but if you know within you that what you guys are doing there is trial and error then better get an engineer before you throw away a client’s hard earn money. something an engineer will solve with calculations on his table you guys are there putting heads together, putting what together if i may ask?
As long as you have a background on strength of various materials and their bending limits this isn’t worth calling a meeting over.
