just going through this thread tonight.....an eye opener it is.

my questions as a layman;

1. why did you dig out EVERY of the foundation of a structure (toilets, rooms, kitchen, dining, ......) when you knew that you are gonna cover the whole up with "DCP" later on....... its just like when erecting structures on deck (no foundation needed)

answer: for bungalows, the wall are load bearing structural element. depending on the roof type, any part of the building that will carry load from the roof should project to the foundation level. most time toilets, dining partions wall are not necessarily load bearers and hence don't need to project to the foundation.
sometimes, since the roof truss is a type where inter beams rest directly on the block, it may need to projecy to the foundation level.




2. When erecting the "semi-raft", wouldnt you have have saved more money attending to the perimter only instead of the whole area
Making it (semi-raft) taller around the perimeter would have still stopped the water from flooding the foundation dug.

3. When is "nylon" required to be used on a building?


answer: Nylon is required to prevent capillary rise from the wet soil below the foundation into the partitions wall. This rise causes wetness of wall after sometimes and this may leads to pilling off of paints or other finishes material. in summery it destroyed the aesthetic of the house.

4. Why the reinforced concrete on the semi-raft (foundation) before setting ur blocks?

Would have saved more money there.

But why? The brilliant one got a laptop while the beautiful 'which can fade away' gets a car.. Smh!

Aggrippa:
yeah serendipity is correct. in learning the concept of opportunity cost is unconsciously applied. this is why an individual should carefully choose what to learn and master them effectively. one cannot afford to attempt knowing lot of things at once. for example the lawyer or the programmer cannot learn all the aspects of law and programs respectively.

Bro,

This Apeeshit isn't helping your arguments. At all, at all! Anyway, bad market dey hard to sell.

Regarding your argument, even a primary school pupil knows that the FG is responsible for economic policy (hint: that's what NOI is doing there).

APC governors just milks this through overtaxation, which they waste on daft prestige projects like Rotimi's monorail (hopefully, the "mono" there is an indication that it's one way ticket to jail for him in 2015.

nigerianvenom:
not only some regions in nigeria but most west african countries such as ghana,togo and d likes.

lagos is also d smallest state in nigeria,i see no reasons lagos should be poorly managed as witnessed despite its uncountable IGR.

PDP=APC
Recycling of thieves
Same criminal gang divided into two groups.

The joke is on the gullible masses that have also been divided into two gullible groups supporting each of the criminal gangs tagged PDP & APC.

If Fashola,who remains the "best performing governor" APC has produced cannot fix 60% of Lagos roads in 7years,how do you expect Jonathan to fix all Nigerian roads in 4 years? Is Jonathan a magician?

Well, well, well....your post above is definitely the best thing that has happened to me since joining Nairaland. It's so unbelievable. I'd never in my wildest dream imagine I was having such an effect on another person, especially not through my journals. So reading your post was so surreal. Thank you David. It really means a lot.

Now about your question, I hope to chronicle the answer in my journal in great detail. But, for now, it all boil down to knowing more about the history of the faith I once treasured so dearly. This was set in motion by a burning desire to really, really in all earnestness know God more, through a more rounded personal knowledge of his word guided, as I believed then, by his spirit. God I fasted!! Lol 21 days at the beginning of each year But as I got more knowledgeable and my mind grew, the pesky little nagging doubts that were once manageable became serious pointers to a grand foul play. My little curious self just couldn't let it go, I kept digging, favoring christian apologetics and theological writings at first but their answers were like band aids over cancer. So I decided to sincerely see things from the 'other side', putting my rose-tinted glasses down for a moment and what I saw and realised then was heartbreaking! It was like I unravel a murder mystery only to trace it to my father as the murderer...but I was no longer blind to the blindspot most Christians have so I didn't protect my 'father' - the murderer - but painfully turned him in if you get my drift.

I wouldn't mind talking some more if you want to.

Just know that I appreciate what you wrote. Thanks again.

@abdulwastecx, refrain from quoting me, when I made the comment, I never invited ur family to help me type, don't start what u cannot finish, I take my fight outside nairaland cos I derive joy in it. Just a warning

nestaolive: Well to me tiwa savage is an Average musician. As for her beauty, I heard she spends lots of millions on various face and skin product but I don't know hw she manages to End up looking like a hungry version of Balotelli

marieolae: Tiwa is not ugly. The problem with her is that she is too drastic. The fake eyelashes, the over the top eyebrows, the nose piercing, the 10 packets of peruvian hair on her head, the layers of pancake and blush on her face, the horrible crayon she must put on her lips, the artificial nasty long nails she must put on her fingers and her horrible mentality of dressing! If she could just tone down her look, and look a little bit more natural, it would be better. Sometimes, esp in that dorrobucci video she was looking like a transgender. God forgive me sha, but the girl is naturally fine!

gen2briz: Both legal and illegal father abi..
