Travel / Re: Top 30 Countries With Highest Number Of Skyscrapers by 2seventeen(m): 8:11pm On Dec 04, 2023
Skyscrapers is not a sign of wealth, it's built because of inavailability of land. How many European countries are in that list? Is North Korea better than Germany? It costs more to build high rise building. Why would any sane person/government waste money on skyscraper when you can spread same for less. Skyscraper should be built to serve a specific purpose or when land is very scarce.

Politics / Re: N141m Contract Duly Executed By Certified Contractor, Says Ossap-sdgs by 2seventeen(m): 10:13pm On Nov 10, 2023
I'm surprised at how people reason. How can you tell the cost of a building by
mere photos? We should first talk about the type of foundation we have there before jumping into conclusion.
Lagos soil is mostly bad, and that alone can gulp larger percentage of the said amount. Do we know the type of equipments/machine installed in the skill acquisition building? We should ask questions or pay a visit to the site before we conclude.
Properties / Re: 2-Storey Building Collapses In Calabar, 10 Rescued, 1 Missing (Video, Photos) by 2seventeen(m): 9:05am On Apr 30, 2023
There's a difference between an Engr and an Engineer. An Engr is someone who attains certain level of education, tested and registered by COREN, with COREN reg. number, seal and practicing license.
Always give your building projects to a registered civil Engr no matter how small the project is to avoid stories like this. Registered Engr will ensure proper soil test, quality materials and proper supervision because his/her career is at stake in case of a collapse. If you check well, less than 5% of collapsed buildings are supervised by an Engr.
Note, Only COREN registered Engr use 'Engr' before their names, but every bricklayer, every carpenter, every electrician, every plumber is an engineer.

Politics / Re: Any Nigerian That Praises Obasanjo Will Go To Hell – Seun Kuti by 2seventeen(m): 5:12pm On Mar 12, 2023
It's appalling how some people are thinking. Obj was only fortunate to be the president when mtn, econet e.t.c brought their business to Nigeria. You can't count that as his achievement.
Obj is the architect of Nigeria misfortune. He had the opportunity of making the country great, but baba choose to wreck the country. He had the connection, he had the support, he had the backing of the powerful elite we now refer to as cabal, but he did nothing.
No be baba introduce electoral violence? If we got the 2003 election right, it would have been the standard norm by now, and we wouldn't be experiencing what we're facing right now. Vote buying,ballot snatching, intimidation were the products obj's pdp sold to Nigeria(n)
Obj pdp is synonymous to fraud, cheat, oppression and so on. He used his icpc and efcc to oppressed the opposition. If he had laid that good foundation, Nigeria will not be in this mess today.

Politics / Re: Sunday Igboho: I Can’t Blame Fulani For Burning Down My House by 2seventeen(m): 10:42am On Jan 26, 2021
slimanyd:
[b]Igboho: Before Yorub
Princewell2012 post=98456382:

So that the government will give him another house. You think that guy is poor, right?
as Do The Bidding Of Bandits [/b]No Sense in this post simple.

This report will show why a support for Sunday Igboho’s approach against banditry and criminality is exactly what the apparatchiks from their group have long thought of, planned for and expect. Those supporting Sunday are doing exactly what the bandits want them to do before they finally strike hard. So, CALM DOWN!

Some of our Yoruba brothers willfully embraced, campaigned with and voted for President Buhari. That is their right and it should be respected. We begrudge them not. Between 2015 and 2017/2018 when some more clear-headed Yoruba sons complained about President Buhari and the obvious lopsidedness in appointments, were they not abused as being corrupt, impatient and judgmental? The plethora of WhatsApp platforms used to promote President Buhari dominated cyberspace. They basked in the euphoria of a new dawn as they put it. So, with the history of everything that is wrong with fairness, justice, equity and equality, who or what interests did these people think they were promoting? Some of them have now found a new opium in the disguised emancipation charge of one Sunday Igboho.

To be clear, let us disaggregate the issues.

The suspected criminal elements in our midst have caused so much havoc. Some are Yoruba and some are Fulani. Yes, there have been criminal acts that should not and must not be tolerated by anyone. There are cogent and verifiable pieces of evidence to support the suggestion that President Buhari’s attitude to banditry by suspected herders continues to embolden some criminal elements among them to continue their voyage of destruction in Yoruba land; and in the North, too. To demonstrate their audacity, they kidnapped over 300 students in President Buhari’s Katsina State at a time when he was in town.

In Oyo State, these acts of criminality would not be tolerated and there needed to be a response and there was a response.

Of all the six South West states, none has done more to empower AMOTEKUN as Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has done. This is a fact, without discounting the noble efforts of other governors in the zone.

Already, AMOTEKUN had started recording exploits against these bandits and criminals; however, there were gaps of overzealousness which were already being attended to by Governor Makinde.

[b]But alas, our own Yoruba people, some sons and daughters of Oyo State, supposedly known for their sagacity, temperance and wisdom, were among the first to start criticizing AMOTEKUN for high-handedness. Unfortunately, these people took a cue from a newspaper with an established pro-Fulani agenda. When AMOTEKUN killed three criminal elements in the forests of Ibarapa just a fortnight ago, the newspaper said AMOTEKUN killed three Fulani. And barely two days later, the same newspaper published that AMOTEKUN had gone berserk with the killing of 11 people in three weeks. Yet, in that report, it failed to publish the names of the 11 killed, apart from a victim of accidental discharge for which over half a dozen AMOTEKUN Operatives were discharged and handed over to the Police for prosecution. But the agenda-setting machinery of the people we are dealing with succeeded, in a way, to bend the minds of our Yoruba sons who then started to demonize AMOTEKUN. Mind you, AMOTEKUN is established by law. It had already set some clandestine operations in motion with timelines and expected deliverables in terms of containment and elimination of threats, only for one Sunday Igboho to emerge.[/b]

Today, the same bandits have surreptitiously cornered the brains of some of our people and conditioned their minds to the false belief that only illegality will help them. That is why otherwise intelligent people are now sold to the theory of violence and are rooting for Igboho as their saviour. Whatever Igboho wants to do, he would need to work with like-minded people but would then need to act within the ambit of the law. To think he has started a struggle that will ensure emancipation is a misplaced thinking. To believe that chasing away a few people and burning houses and cars is the only option, suggests that something wrong is happening to the famed Yoruba predisposition to quality thinking and measured approach to crisis. Yes, our people have been under the yoke of Fulani bandits for some time now. No one can just forget the murder of Dr. Aborode nor can anyone not be touched by the rape, kidnap and destruction of farmlands by bandits. Anyone could have been a victim.

But because WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, FaceTime and Tweeter are very good and they offer freedom to express one’s self with little or no consequences, should not mean we must use it to propagate fake news, twist narratives and encourage carnage.

The paradox in all these is that we now have many Yoruba people doing Bandits’ bidding without knowing it. They are rooting for Igboho to engage in more brigandage, engage in more illegalities, turn Yoruba land into an endangered zone after which you give the federal authorities who have never hidden what some people have seen as their support for Fulani, the excuse to turn Yorubaland into their theatre for war games.

It is convenient for an Nnamdi Kanu to talk from the comfort of London and encourage unrest. He will keep doing that to sustain his own agenda.

Question: Will Yoruba allow bandits to hold sway in our land and provide an excuse for the destruction of lives and properties under what would be termed securing of lives?

The answer is NO.


The story of the destruction of Lagos during the #EndSARS riots is still unfolding at the panel of inquiry. Under the guise of protest, hoodlums took over Lagos and caused damage in the billions – in fact, Governor Jide Sanyo-Olu put the cost at our N1trillion. Is that what we want in Oyo State? To set our state on fire under the guise of emancipation? Governor Makinde will not allow that.

However, the only way the bandits can be effectively dealt with is through legal means and that is what AMOTEKUN has started doing.

To short-circuit the process and hinge survival on an effervescent effort that may die-down soon, without any clear and sustainable approach that will deliver progressive outcomes is to do exactly what the bandits’ apparatchik want.

When did Yoruba start acting based on impulse? Mind you, when we were cheated out of the June 12 mandate, we did not engage in acts of criminality to settle scores. We sat back, donned our thinking caps and engaged a strategy that eventually produced two presidential candidates of different political parties for the same election in 1999. That wisdom is still there. Things are already evolving.

Part of the plot is to stop AMOTEKUN from carrying out its legal duties for which no one will be able to fault it; but Makinde will not allow that.

Unfortunately because of the channel noise created by Sunday Igboho, the strategic plans and operations AMOTEKUN would have undertaken legally as a security network are now on hold. Who loses? The Yoruba nation of course; because this hiatus may allow for more deadly bandits to seek newer enclaves to resettle from where attacks may be launched.

Properties / Re: Help:- How Many Plots Of Land Is In This Survey Plan by 2seventeen(m): 8:35am On Dec 13, 2016
Dcaliphate:
Its an area calculation thing. Plots vary in size deoending on the area u r in. An average residential plot is 18m x 30m, of which the area is gotten by multiplying 18 by 30 = 540sqm.

This plot is not a regular rectangle so u cant compute the area that simply. So u can get its area by dividing the land into two triangles which u can compute their individual areas and then add up. Divide the result u get by 540sqm. What u get becomes the numbee of plots in this land.

If u have AutoCad software in ur laptop its a lot easier cos it has a tool that can compute the area of a land no matter how irregular the shape.
Sir,i'll b most grateful if u can tell me d tool sir.i use autocad almost evryday yet i've nt discovered such wonderrful tool.pls teach me more

Religion / Why Do We Dream???? by 2seventeen(m): 6:19pm On May 21, 2016
My dictionary defined dream as imaginary events seen in the mind while asleep.I will define it as a video we see/watch while sleeping.All thanks to the mirror who usually helps to know if we are one of the actors in the movie or not.We wouldn't have known what we look like if not for the mirror.Kudos to it invetor(s).
This trend has been since time immemorial,christians will remember king Pharoah and the little boy,Joseph in the bible.When we sleep and a video pops up in our mind,we say its a dream.Sometime,we will be one of the actors in the movie and at another time,we will have no part in the movie.sometime,its something we have seen,heard,talked about or experienced before and somtime,its something we have not seen,heard,experienced,talked about or thought of our entire lives.
If the video/movie is favourable or somehow in line with our previous thoughts,some will say God is speaking or giving direction through the dream.If the video is strange and does not look like what we know or have ever seen,we will be confused,perturbed and we will be left wondering what the meaning could be.If it comes in form of torment or totally negative,we will quickly term it Nightmare.Some believe its spiritual and they attach so much importance to it,while some believe its not real and should not be taken seriously.
My questions now are: 1.Is it an art or a science.
2.Is it normal or abnormal?
3.Should we read any meaning to it or we should just discard it?
4.What is the rationale behind this video and who is playin it?
5.Where does it normally come from?
