Bros because of PDP rigging,there wasn't PVC and card reader then.Common man in the north belief that bihari is the only hope you can't cross buhari and survival politically.kwankwaso influence start and stop in kano and buhari is100% more popular in kano.Hmm with respect to Atiku no comment he is dead politician presently enjoying popularity of GMB(His candidate was defeated in Adamawa governorship primary)

Buhari is loved by poor( talakawa) northers ( mostly north west and north east). luckily he is good man and upright man that can transform Nigeria for all Nigerians.

North Nigeria is complex, religion still play an important role because majority of voters are illiterate who vote base on ethnic ad religious believe.

Idrismusty97:
To an extent yes! After we complete 8 years in power we will rally and throw our support for a Southerner just like we did for Obasanjo.

you don't get it my friend. the north is not a united entity you assert.
North west is uniform and with large population
North east not as uniform with states like adamawa, taraba, bauchi etc.
North central: apart from Niger state that is similar to north west but with substantial christian ( gwagi) population.

The only thing uniting the North has been religion ( which is a good thing) for the Muslim but some selfish leaders have been using this to marginalized minorities in these areas.

Buhari is Nigeria president because Nigeria voted for him not because of only northern votes

welcome sir...it is always a honor to see your comment sir.

job: construction of the substructure( from foundation footings to DPC level)

project duration: 2 weeks

job descriptions: ground floor ; Two bedrooms, entrance porch, main lounge, dinning room, kitchen, gymnasium

First floor; five bedrooms, family lounge, study room.

floors plans and elevation to follow

Good evening room....here is a new project I am handling for a good client i met here on nairaland.

item 6.
sub structural block wall: this is part of the building that is built below the floor level serving as part of the foundation.

It is normally built with either hollow 9" block or 6'' block ( but i prefer 9" block).
the strength of the block should be within 4 - 1N/mm2


how to calculate the number of block required for a particular foundation.
1. get the perimeter of all the sub structural wall
2. get the height of such wall ( mostly 3ft or 900mm)
3. get the product of (2) and (1) to get the area of the block required
4. multiply the result in (3) above by 1.25 ( which is 25% to cater for breakage of block
5. since there are 10blocks in a 1m2 area of wall. multiply the area from (4) by 10 to get the number of blocks.

mortar for the block wall using 1: 6 (one bag of cement to 12 head pan of sharp sand)
number of cement required for every 60blocks in 1 bag


workmanship for block work,
9" block is been set for 50-70N per block and 6" goes for N40-N50 per block

I have been away from the property section due to work. I am back to continue my analysis.

Goodnews tinibu fasola amachi adams n rochas gang up n use a militry chiken frm d aboki state dat has lost election for three times naija did not want him but d yorubas rigged election for him because dey think baba wil kpai n their brother wil rule because niger delta oil blocks i pray tinibu live to see d change b4 he is cut to sizes aboki wil show him wicked ones.

Nigeria is not all about Tinubu, Amechi or some stupid niger delta oil. the fight is about sincere Nigeria and poor Nigerians against corruption, nepotism and vision less regim of pdp lead government of jonathan administration.

Buhari is Nigeria saviour, he is a man i can bet my life on that he will deliver Nigeria from shackle of corruption and underdevelopment.

If we developed the agricultural potential of north central and south west, industrialized Nigeria ...Niger delta oil will become irrelevant .

Yorubas don't normally travel to the East unless for NYSC or political party meetings or few who attend weddings.

So you can't expect to be employed in an Eastern government while you're at Ota. No ethnic group or region in Nigeria is more sociable than the Easterners. You know it. Easterners travel wide, there's no place you won't see an Easterner in Nigeria. We live anywhere, dine and party with everyone, marry locals, establish busineses that contribute to the society we're based in. We're nation builders. Such can't be said of neither H/Fulanis nor Yorubas.

There are many Igbos that speak many languages of other ethnic groups in Nigeria including Youruba and Hausa. How many Yorubas speak Igbo, almost none (few who speak a little Igbo are married to Igbos). So don’t tell me how assimiliate Yorubas are in the north. North is just a part of the country.

Yes, you guys have special relationship with Huasa/Fulanis (H/F) that can't be tolerated by the Igbos because it's totally onesided. They use you guys to achieve thier H/F agenda and you guys are f*ucking too blind to see it!

H/Fulanis killed Abiola, who won the first freest and fairest election in Nigerian history! Not only that, the cancelled the June 12 Election! I could go on and on. Now they're trying to squash Tinubu influence in APC, now that a northerner won. Buhari wouldn't have won without Tinubu's influence and connections. Tinubu worked very hard for Buhari to win and these rag heads are still ungrateful.

When will Yorubas' eyes open to see that H/Fulanis are ONLY after their own heinous agenda, which is to rule Nigeria forever. They see leading Nigeria, as their "birth right" and the funny thing is that they're terrible at anything that has to do with leadership. They ruined this country with the willing help of Yorubas.

you are so wrong my friend.
Buhari emergency as the president of Nigeria is a delight to northern commoners ( popularly referred to as talakawa), the so called northern cabals are as corrupt as their southern counterparts, they want corruption to continues and hence dont want buhari to be president. these cabals are in pdp and supported the emergency of clueless one to be president.

Yorubas are not slave to any group and have the right to choose who to work with.

I am a product of yoruba northern diaspora with a mix of nupe ethnicity. Yorubas also do travelled out of southwest or north central to area they found conducive for their living style.
yorubas are hardworking and adventurous like all other ethnic group, they plentiful in so many northern states, doing there legitimates businesses in these areas.

Suleja (Niger state) is home to me and home to thousands of yorubas and they live in peace with their host (gwagi, Nupes and Hausas).

NobleG1:
Yorubas love Hausa/Fulani who continue to use and f*uck them left and right! And yet they hate Igbos who do them absolutely nothing!

Yorubas deserve every damn thing they get from these rag heads!

yoruba love hausa fulani because they travel up north to kano, katsina, suleja, zaria, sokoto, minna etc. Trade there, assimilate into there culture, worship in the same mosque with them, get employment in their establishment without been treated negatively.

how many yoruba men are living in the whole east?
how many yoruba men can get land easily in the east and south ( excluding edo state)?
how many get employment in government offices in the east?

the truth of the matter is most Yoruba's feel at home while in the north...i see no much differences between bida in niger state and ikare in ondo state.

i will always support a northern agenda over a south east agenda and i know many yoruba like me share the same opinion

ProfessorPeter:
South South and Southeast will join hands with Buhari to punish Yoruba for betraying us. Interesting days ahead

who is us?
what is the similarity between igbo and yoruba?
we have similarity with the so called north than you people.
old oyo empire capital was in the guinea savana with lot of cultural assimilation and exchanged with the north.

with massive education in the north and eradication of some conservative religious practice you will see that south west is more at home with north than easter Nigeria.

PROUDIGBO:
^^^YES!....Over 800,000 people used the manual process! You have a problem with that!

voters turnout was very low in rivers state....i was in port Harcourt during the election. widespread rigging was recorded in many areas, youth corp members were bribed up to N300,000 in abio akpo local government alone

Hello Everyone,

I would like to have an idea what it will cost to build a warehouse structure like this with dimensions 15 meters by 25 meters. height 8-10 meters

Please help with how many blocks, length of iron beams for roofing and estimate cost of roofing sheet.

If possible, trips of sand, granite, bags of cement needed.

i look forward to getting great information for our Nairaland professionals.

will N3 million complete this (excluding land cost) very dry land in Ogun state.

the height of that ware house is more like 4m and gable height of say 6m

THE HEIGHT OF THE WAREHOUSE ABOVE IS NOT UP TO 8-10m

3 great nations with different cultures, religion and ideology fixed in a pack called Nigeria. How do we surviv?

Nigeria is more like 300 countries in one.....but employment, poverty reduction, education will help us to get Nigerians who are first Nigerian before hausa, yoruba or igbo

Chiaka:
Good you know the oil is from this region this explains why the money we are currently receiving is way too small and we need more to bring about any meaningful development.

majority of the oil are from the sea and the revenue to those oil producing states is enough to sustain them

jared007:
Yoruba elites are part of the major problem in Nigeria. How can the Oil companies ve their offices in yoruba land instead of the Niger-delta? How can the major companies in the Niger-delta be dominated by yorubas? How can Lagos Port be d only real functioning port in Nigeria? I stand for one nigeria but there must be equity

Oil companies want to make profit, hence they locate their offices where there is security, access to other services which will make operation smooth. lagos is just the obvious location for that because of her infrastructures like good banking system, international airport etc.

Major companies employed competent personnel and if yorubas are the best at that why not.

Lagos has a naturally deep harbor which enable port to be built to handle heavy ships.
