We're not one obviously but Yorubas are confused and don't know what they want. Northerners know what they want(born to rule Nigeria) Igbos know what they want.

Tell me what Yorubas want
The north understand that Yorubas can kill for a plate of amala so they just give them the plate n watch them kill their brother.

You are very confused and lack critical thinking ability.
Yorubas are very diverse set of people with different ideology and behaviour. the word credited to sanusi are his opinions and i disagree with all his assertion.

I am yoruba from a northern state and believe that Nigeria problem is more of poverty, illiteracy, ignorance etc, which are the bane of Nigeria underdevelopment.
poverty will always allow religious and ethnic sentiment to be use by politicians which are mostly from the North.

I say Nigeria elite from all part of the country are Nigeria problem because of their corruption, insensitivity and lack of know how to turn things around

GenBuhari:
Do the research I told you to do about Abacha's performance and our revenue earnt during his rule and you would be surprised to learn that you have been deceived by propaganda that could only have been produced by enemies of Nigeria

ok i will do that

Wuuworld:
NORTHEAST presido's making us observe a national burial since time immemorial.......BUHARI wouldn't be different.

you are a fool

A good man and a selfless leader...RIP and may Almighty Allah forgive you all your sins amin

GenBuhari:
It is clear you were too young to know him.

You have merely swallowed propaganda of Nigeria's enemies against him.

Research what Nigeria was earning during and his economic and development performance and you would realise that Abacha is one of the greatest leaders we ever had.

i was not too young brother... i hate religious and ethnic sentiment. He was everybody hero in suleja ( Niger state ) where i was born merely because he is a northerner.

he was a ruthless dictator with little to nothing upstair.
abacha together with IBB, OBJ and master clueless Jonathan are Nigeria worst president/head of state

GenBuhari:
May the soul of this great leader rest in perfect peace.

he was an idiot, a slope poke, a tyrant, corrupt mother fucker. may his sole never rest in peace

BuddahMonk:
My brother am tired of this useless and stupiid country with backstabbers and traitors as my so called compatriots

Yorubas are not your compatriots and we have nothing in common with you guys. If you are pain go an liberate your stupid biafra republic

BuddahMonk:
[size=13pt]Indirect rule was success in North, failure in East but in West nobody knew their stand till today, you cant say whether indirect rule was a success or a failure in West, everything about a people is sitting on the fence, unable to create a clear cut agenda and unable to speak with one strong voice.

In Confab, South went with resource control as part of the agenda, South East stood on resource control, South South stood on resource control, when it got to South West Lagos delegates where saying different things, yoloba delegates where saying another things(that everybody will control resources except oli), Afenifere was waiting to know what the North will say in order not to ruffle their feathers....this was how everything about resource control fall yakataaa[/size]

a fool will always be a fool... how do you expect indirect rule to successful in areas occupy by monkeys. it was evidently clear that south easterners before the coming of the colonial masters, you guys were running unclad like animal.

Indirect rule was fairly successful because south west was not as centralized as northern Nigeria because if check and balance

calebo101:
Already we know. Actually it might end up as a blessing in disguise because now we have to look at ourselves in the south and ask if being part of Nigeria is worth it. Now we see that one Nigeria is just a fluke.

Already the results from the election has shown that performance never mattered. Ethnicity, religion and tribalism holds sway in the pendulum of power in Nigeria such thay we find ourselves subject to the choice of the largely uneducated region and the zone that likes to think of themselves as "sophisticated".

Apart from a few betrayals and judases which is perfectly normal I think there's a united view already on the future of the Niger Delta cum Southeast and it shall be actualised rather sooner than later.

Don't get it twisted. We are not ONE!!!

North south divide is a political tools for selfish and vision less politicians who want power by all means.

jonathan failed woefully because he was stupid, vision less, myopic and sentimental. If he had done well people might have voted for him.

Ulamas and the educated political group in north always hide under religion to achieve personal goals.

The northern youth need employment opportunities like every other Nigeria

Northerners need security of life and properties like every other Nigerians

They need good education and all good things of life like every other Nigerians.

i believe religions and ethnic resentment among some groups in the north is down to illiteracy, poverty and lack of opportunities.

Buhari will provide all these that is why i voted for him

PassingShot:
I have long known that the result declared did not reflect the effort and I do not mean to rubbish or diminish you guy's effort. It's just unfortunate that we're analyzing figures here. How else could I recognize the efforts of you guys than by supporting and clamoring for GMB to ensure an all-inclusive regime irrespective of where he won or failed to win. After all, he has to prove those who didn't support him wrong this time around.

i am not in anyway diminishing the role of those men but let set the record straight south Easters were too sentimental and never play any role to in buhari presidency.

The victory is down to the poor masses in North, south west and muslim community in edo state.

you saw the mail i sent you?

CityNG:
What about wood and water?
Do you work in Ibadan?

yea, we work all over provided the price is right

CityNG:
What about wood and water?

Do you work in Ibadan?

wood will depend on if you have intermediate columns @ say 3m and if you will need to coping ontop of the fence.

water should be easy provided you have bore hole or well

perimeter of the fence = 2x30(100) + 2x36(120) = 132m height of fence = 4x225 = 900mm = 0.9m area = 0.9x132 = 118.5m2 = 120m2 number required = 120 x 10 = 1200blocks
blocks = 1500blocks cement = 10bags sand = 1/2 trip
workmanship for the block = N90,000 ( for 9" blocks) = N75,000 ( for 6" blocks)

babestella:
Any day buhari sells petrol at 5 Naira per litre, diesel 10 naira per litre, reduce my rent from 1.2 million to 20,000 naira, I will trek from Lagos to the Pluto.

buhari will build refineries that will enable Nigeria state process most of her 2million barrel crude for local consumption and export to west and central Africa market. then the price will come down like say #50

mortgage scheme will be put in place which will allow access to house ownership easy and reduce rent.

buhari will work on land ownership and bottle neck in infrastructure development.

The people's general will work that i'm sure about

FLYFIRE:
What really surprises me is how people could vote illiterates into power.

you just plain stupid...quit this stupid stereotype, Buhari is an educated fellow, a man with clear ideology better than your lousy phd older.

when i see some of you south easterner rant about education and literacy ad how you guys are the most educated fellow in Nigeria, i look with pity because the truth is you guys are so backward morally, economically and politically

Sooroptimist1:
David Mark has simply gone to visit his Former C-In-C who appointed him as Military Governor of Niger State

babangida appointed him as military governor

Akinbaba:
Please can you drop your email address.

mix ratio for foundation footing for bungalow should either be 1:3:6 or 1:2:4 for normal soil.
i prefer 1:2:4 ( 1 bag of cement : 4 head pan of sand or 1 wheel barrow of sand : 8 head pan of gravel or 2 wheel barrow of gravel). reason been that the foundation of bungalow is very important because it help to distributes the wall load to foundation adequately.
A typical foundations supporting a three bedroom flat or its equivalent should have the following features

1. minimum thickness of 100mm ( 4'') and should not more than 225mm (9'') thick on a strong soil for economy reason.
2. the sharp sand should not be too smooth and free from clay and other dirt which may reduce the strength of concrete
3. the gravel should be preferably 3/4 ( 20mm) thick and must be free from dust.
4. the water for mixing should be drinkable and free from salt and other chemical contamination
5. the water-cement ratio must not be greater than 0.6.


mode of calculating the volume of concrete for foundation footings ( strip foundation).
1. get the sum of the total gird of the substructure, let say 'P' = 50 ( example)
2. get the width of the foundation, say 450mm (18'') for 150mm ( 6" wall and 675mm ( 27" ) for 225mm (9" wall
3. Assume a thickness of say 150mm for 6" wall and or 225mm for 9" wall.
4. convert all your dimension to 'm'
5. hence volume, v =50x 0.45 x 0.15 = 3.375m3
6. increase the volume by 25% to cater for shrinkage and wastage. =1.25 x 3.375= 4.05m3

using mix ratio 1:2:4
part of cement = 1/7 x4.05 =0.58m3
since the density of ordinary Portland cement s 1506kg/m3
and i bag = 50kg
hence, no of bags = 0.58 x 1506/50 =17.4bags ( 18 bags aprox.)

part of sand = 2/7 x 4.05 =1.16m3
since the density of sharp sand is 1600kg/m3 and a tonne of sharp sand is 1000kg
hence, 1.16 x 1600/1000 = 1.856tonnes ( 2 tonnes aprox.)

part of gravel = 2 x 1.16 = 2.32m3
since the density of gravel is 2400kg/m3 and a tonne of gravel weight 1000kg
hence, 2.32 x 2.4 =5.57tonnes ( 6 tonnes )

part of water using water cement ratio of 0.6
weight of water = 0.6 weight of cement = 0.6 x 18 x 50 =540kg
volume of water required, from density = mass/volume
making volume subject, volume = mass/density
where density of water = 1000kg/m3
hence, volume of water required = 540/1000= 0.54m3
since,1m3 = 1000liters
volume of water required = 540 liters

How block work to lintel level is almost 85% complete. i have been fortunate enough to work with team of competent mason? brick layers.
The project is still on schedules and cost as been minimal without compromising quality

here is the job update on 22-04-2015

Charly68:
Alright sir, I sincerely believed one does not need PHD to get things right in life..All we need is common sense..from the way GMB has talked, definitely things will change in Naija..

GMB is a simple and honest elder who understand the plight of poor Nigerians in respective of tribe and religion.

PhDs in Nigeria is a means to an end, people get it without knowing the rudiment of critical thinking logical.
Jonathan PhD holder was the opinion that Nigeria is reach so many of her politicians have private jets.
he was of the opinion that $20billion cant be missing from Nigeria foreign without knowing about because it is there money

kendrick9:
The fulani cattle rearer from daura is still blabbling ( blabbing) , what does he even know about education?. An illiterate as he is, has no clue about our educational sector.
Btw,i'm still waiting for him to stabilize world oil price....

Nigeria problem are
1. poverty
2. unemployment
3. poor infrastructure
4. brain dead like you that cant spell 'blabbing'

Education will solve all these problem.
with education better entrepreneur will be empower to set up jobs to tap the potential of our country

technical and engineering education can be put in place that will help revolutionized our industrialization aim to such level as that of the Chinese, Koreans and other Asians tigers.

infrastructures will be built by more educated mind that will not be OK with a mere 4,000 megawatt for 175 million

there will be food security because bes agricultural practice in mechanized agriculture, irrigation, dam building and storage facilities will be put in place.

BUHARI IS A FORWARD THINKING PROGRESSIVE ELDER SELFLESS ELDER STATESMAN. HE IS A BLESSING FROM THE ALMIGHTY ALLAH TO THE POOR MASSES OF NIGERIA.

jfkenny:
Weld one Sir.
Pls what is the distance between the rods as well between stirrup

links spacing ( distance between stirrup ) for columns ( Pillars) = 300mm
rods are spaced a distance of 'x' from one another based on section of columns, number of bars in a column and thickness of cover.
for this column
cover =25mm
section = 225 x 225mm

distance between rod in a column = 225 - 50 = 175mm
x = 175mm
