Igbo businesses are better spread among the people. Their wealth is not centralized on a few individuals. The only downfall is that some charlatans have decided to incorporate unnecessary noise into their businesses to impress the impoverished masses.

How many of them in Nairaland understand anything?

I'm thinking in that direction too. Increase the quantity of the aggregate and reduce the cement.

God bless you. You too know them. Anybody for their Region wey get reach 2million for account, they will automatically pronounce him as a Billionaire

see the joy it gives you to spend all your time hating on a people that doesn't even know you exist.

instead of using that time to go do something useful to uplift your poverty stricken miserable life!

next you will go mining your sister's skull just to be as rich and comfortable as the average igboman!

envy is a terrible thing!

I'm Igbo and I tell you this. Most of their so called wealth are audio. They go online to make people see them as wealthy Men. While other regions have more but they kept mute.

Windscribe:

You actually misinterpreted that comment.

The poster meant, when it comes to big businesses, northerners usually set up their big business in the north while ibos A.K.A developers set theirs outside iboland.


However the guy was wrong to some extent, Dangote Refinery, Flour mill, Sugar, Cement Factory, BUA biggest cement plant, proposed BUA refinery e.t.c were not situated in the north.

Most of Dangote & BUA's core business are not situated in the North...

When I talk about reducing ceement content, I don't mean reducing the mixed ration but rather using alternative building materials like stabilised earth blocks

The use of stabilised earth blocks reduces the need for cement rendering on the surface of the blocks due to the aesthetics of the blocks itself. Also the blocks are produced with very little cement content compared to sancrete blocks.
Check this thread we intend to use the stabilised earth blocks for the ground floor construction

It doesn't work like that, i am looking in the direction of using alternative building materials to reduce the cement content of our buildings.
Material like stabilised earth blocks is a very good alternative

Them no like themselves, how do you expect other Nigerians to like them?

Check the thread were we use it for one of our buildings under construction although we are still in the foundation stage.

What will be the effect of this on the price of cement in Nigeria market?
We buy cement at a cost almost twice the price in every other African countries.

This Bua boss is so investmenttfied...
God bless you sir. I admire you from a distance

Many are making it in this country while many youths want to japa,able-bodied youths abandoning opportunities in their own country only to go abroad to suffer and to be enslaved, u drove white man our of your country at independence only to run to his country to become his slave ...opportunities abound here my people look very well u have a role to play to make this country a better place and God and citizens of this country will bless u and make your life prosperous, just imagine if the owner of BUA or dangote had japa during troubled days would they have become this great? Youths wake up

Reduce Cement content?
Please elaborate

VIKTO83:
If those guys can mine our limestone and sale it back to us at exorbitant price what stops our southern brothers from drilling crude and refine it d way they want too. There has to be a balance.

Oga…Dpr has issued out 70 licenses to build refinery..none has started building…an ibo man or southern man will rather have multiple shops in different location than investing big…don’t blame the northerners for their courage…make southerns self combine and build refinery for their land than building hotel up and down the place..

tonididdy:

Reduce Cement content?
Please elaborate

Cement is the major building material in Nigeria because its used in producing blocks, concrete and wall rendering.
I am looking at using alternatives to reduce cement in our buildings like stabilised interlocking bricks in place of sancrete blocks in building our homes and also using rib slabs in place of solid slabs.
Stabilized bricks do not need to be rendered (plastering) meaning you can reduce a significant chunk of cement from your building construction by not plastering

no I didn't. I was only trying to respond euphemistically so I'll not offend some folks here.



no I don't. You're probably one of those folks I would've offended if I bared it all.
..although, the 'container shop' in my comment has already summed it all.

Go back and read his post again before acting like you're smart.

I hope this will reduce the price of cement

My brother we really need you engineer's to help us in this country by devising new ways of building that reduce the cement content needed. American house for example seem to use a lot of wood. If we can get more alternatives, it'll go a long way in stimulating house building and economic development

HOW MUCH IS ONE BAG OF CEMENT NOW
