the same adamawa where the army ran away from their barracks leaving only vigilante men to defend the town? by the way, where is buratai? he has been unusually quiet for some time.

May your children never grow to become like you. As it stands now you're completely finished. A matured man seeing Jonathan in his dreams everyday. Nor go die premature death o

Last time I checked, Jonathan celebrated his birthday and the birth of his grand child. That's after returning from engagements bestowed on him by commonwealth. Like I talk, try make your children nor turn up like you. You're totally destroyed.

Talking about sane countries, in a sane country nobody brings back their ancestors to rule them. Talk of an illiterate ancestor .

in a sane country, illiterates without certificates would be in jail for perjury. this article is a smear campaign on the Jonathan regime in order to make Nigerians forget their pressing problems. if they have evidence that anybody embezzled funds, they should take the person to court and stop all these newspaper propaganda. gej said that buhari did not even buy a single rifle in his first regime and buhari has not denied it. six months into buhari second regime and he's yet to buy a single weapon for the army.

Nigeria is not ready to prosecute her as there were no charges against her.
British government are the people holding charges against her.

probability of her been charged and convicted in any or both countries is practically zero, it's all hot air.

[quote author=MKO4ever post=40481018][/quote]what they did was a crime.

don't expect to see this on the front-page, only pictures of tonto dile, linda ikeji's bedroom and buhari wife and daughter eating tuwo at a wedding.

you would never see this type of thread on the front-page but tonto dike,linda ikeji bedroom and pictures of buhari,his wife and daughters eating tuwo at a wedding.

Don't blame someone but the the human associated with NIGERIA (NIGERIAN) because we misuse everything when given the opportunity.

CBN are fighting a tough fight up there if you don't know the disease called CORRUPTION which is eating up the system.

Try and understand

story for the gods, the simple truth is that exchange rate is determined by demand and supply. we export almost only oil and import almost everything including tooth picks. to worsen the matter, buhari left the economy in auto pilot for six months at a time our major export been petroleum is experiencing a fall in price. uptill now, this country does not have a clear cut economic policy and you expect progress? he who fails to plan has already planned to fail. stop blaming imaginary corruption by bdc's, ask yourself, why are importers not buying from banks at #197

nice work but can we see the floor plan? what's the size of the land.

omooba969:
I would suggest that you move master bedroom to the fore front as livingroom & move the kitchen to where you have master bedroom.

This way, you can have the other two bedrooms at the rear with bathroom&toilet in between the two rooms. This will allow for the three rooms to be cross-ventilated. IMO

This will also allow for privacy especially when you are busy with important issues in your bedroom , no one is likely to hear the ringtones coming your room. Even the intending occupants of the other two rooms will equally have safe flights to cloud9 knowing that their respective ringtones & beds knocking against the wall will be kept within the four walls of their rooms.

I notice you made no provision for guest toilet.

I like privacy.

badoo.

KolaShangOne:
Sorry for the seeming lack of help.. Most Engineers on here are busy because of the season (Christmas season).

I can only give you a rough estimate based on just experience. Do cements in Gambia come in 50kg bags? What kind of blocks do you use there? Hollow or solid blocks? Whats the depth of your foundation? German floor?

Similar to what Abouzaid said, budget 3800 blocks. Now, tell your builder to set 60blocks per bag. That's about 64 bags for block setting. Add 40 bags for concrete blinding and lintels. Etc etc

does that include cement for the oversite concrete?

Ok send me the floor plan and let me see. The kitchen have a window and entry and exit door and the third door is the oe to the store.

please check this thread www.nairaland.com/1811288/build-standard-3bedroom-half-plot . you would notice that the rooms are well cross ventilated and the house is smaller and better designed than your own. please seek his permission and maybe make payment before using the floor plan. i can further improve the plan for you later if you like.

bigjallow:
Sorry the kitchen have only two doors which are the entry one from the corridor and the exit one to the back veranda. The master bedroom is en suite look closely. Both the kitchen and dinning measurement 3 by 3.5 meters each, is that not big enough? May be you are not seeing the measurements clearly from the plan... I still need your advice because that is why i sent this post...

Come back if you can soon.

Thanks

i can't see any interior measurements and the exterior ones are not very legible to me since I'm using a small screen device. the kitchen has three doors making only one line of the kitchen usable. you won't have much counter top space,i know that the masters bedroom is en suite but that's not my point. I'm saying that the bedrooms should have windows on atleast two opposite or adjacent walls to properly cross ventilate the rooms thereby reducing heat inside. the house wasted a lot of space on internal passages making it too big for a three bedroom bungalow. i can provide you another floor plan from this website for you to understand what makes a modern efficient but affordable home.

bigjallow:
Thanks so much for your advice...

Am living abroad so my mom and lil sister running the project but the builder is always over estimating materials and i fear my cement will all be stolen since my mom and sister don't know much about building work.

In you own estimate how many bags do you thing can do the foundation concrete work, floor and raising blocks to the roof level. As i speak excavation is done and tomorrow foundation will start and 65 bags of cement in stock.

Give me your thoughts. Am so happy you sent the long post...

May god bless you...

I'm sorry to tell you this but 65 bags might not be enough to take that house to roofing level, the house is atleast over 2000 sqf but the good news is that it has few walls, i will advice you to search for a thread on the construction of a three bedroom bungalow in nassarawa by daviejay. his house is somehow bigger than your own and has more walls. use his material use to guide your own use of materials. i would not like to feed your suspicions. please ask your sister to get a marker and sign her signature on all the cement bags, then the labourers must keep all the used cement bags for her, that should eliminate or atleast reduce theft. she should not be shy to show her suspicion.

I'm not interested in your patronage but a good size for a living room is 13x15,dining 9x14,bedrooms 10x12 or 12x12, general toilet atleast 4 wide, kitchen atleast 8x8. to be honest, you need an architect to draft out a coherent plan for you while tweaking the sizes as necessary. you also need to know that sizes and layout depends on the lifestyle of the intended occupants.

the house would consume almost four thousand blocks to complete. i can get you a more precise estimate later but i would still advice you to budget for four thousand blocks. the only way to control costs is to monitor the work to avoid been ripped off. estimates are never 100% correct. i don't like your floor plan, it has cross ventilation issues and the kitchen and dining seems too small for the size of the house. the kitchen have too many doors and you need to compensate for it with more wall space. the house seems too big for a mere three bedroom non en suite bungalow.

Why not start a small scale manufacturing enterprise at home? You can make bags, sandals, furniture, and a hundred other items. You'll make more money than a salary could pay you. The advantage you have is the booming economy we have, hence there's a ready market for your products.

most of this small scale industries are already over populated, we need soft loans to go into poultry, fisheries, home construction etc. co operatives need loans for small scale industries like fertilizer production.

where is the source? besides, this news doesn't reflect the reality on ground. i reserve my comment until imolites shows up.

during my service year in Niger state, the camp commandant banned the use of long hijab, after the last boko haram attacks in Niger state, the governor banned it in schools including teachers and visitors. so why are these guys ranting about? shame on them if they don't start the war to declare oduarewanistan before this year is over. useless people.

The people talking have more superior knowledge about this issue than you and I. If the FIRS boss, the VP and other key persons believe it's doable, why should we think otherwise without having access to the same information they have?

story for the gods, they should tell us how they intend to do it instead of looking for cheap publicity. any money borrowed from abroad now that the naira is loosing value to the dollar would mean that poor innocent Nigerians would work five times harder to pay back that money. also borrowing within the country means lack of credit for business and households to borrow from.

juju economics, Nigerians prepare, tougher days are ahead with these propaganda merchants. until they break down how they intend to do so, all na propaganda.

Mahatma Gandhi was both a British and Indian citizen, infact he was also a South African citizen granted to him by the british just to keep him in SA so hw will not disturb them.... His scenerio is almost that of NNAMDI kanu

Mahatma Gandhi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (/ˈɡɑːndi, ˈɡæn-/;[2] Hindustani: [ˈmoːɦənd̪aːs ˈkərəmtʃənd̪ ˈɡaːnd̪ʱi] ( listen); 2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948) was the preeminent leader of the Indian independence movement in British-ruled India. Employing nonviolent civil disobedience, Gandhi led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. The honorific Mahatma (Sanskrit: "high-souled", "venerable"[3]—applied to him first in 1914 in South Africa,[4]—is now used worldwide. He is also called Bapu (Gujarati: endearment for "father",[5] "papa"[5][6]) in India.

Born and raised in a Hindu merchant caste family in coastal Gujarat, western India, and trained in law at the Inner Temple, London, Gandhi first employed nonviolent civil disobedience as an expatriate lawyer in South Africa, in the resident Indian community's struggle for civil rights. After his return to India in 1915, he set about organising peasants, farmers, and urban labourers to protest against excessive land-tax and discrimination. Assuming leadership of the Indian National Congress in 1921, Gandhi led nationwide campaigns for easing poverty, expanding women's rights, building religious and ethnic amity, ending untouchability, but above all for achieving Swaraj or self-rule.

Gandhi famously led Indians in challenging the British-imposed salt tax with the 400 km (250 mi) Dandi Salt March in 1930, and later in calling for the British to Quit India in 1942. He was imprisoned for many years, upon many occasions, in both South Africa and India. Gandhi attempted to practise nonviolence and truth in all situations, and advocated that others do the same. He lived modestly in a self-sufficient residential community and wore the traditional Indian dhoti and shawl, woven with yarn hand-spun on a charkha. He ate simple vegetarian food, and also undertook long fasts as a means of both self-purification and social protest.

Gandhi's vision of an independent India based on religious pluralism, however, was challenged in the early 1940s by a new Muslim nationalism which was demanding a separate Muslim homeland carved out of India.[7] Eventually, in August 1947, Britain granted independence, but the British Indian Empire[7] was partitioned into two dominions, a Hindu-majority India and Muslim Pakistan.[8] As many displaced Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs made their way to their new lands, religious violence broke out, especially in the Punjab and Bengal. Eschewing the official celebration of independence in Delhi, Gandhi visited the affected areas, attempting to provide solace. In the months following, he undertook several fasts unto death to promote religious harmony. The last of these, undertaken on 12 January 1948 at age 78,[9] also had the indirect goal of pressuring India to pay out some cash assets owed to Pakistan.[9] Some Indians thought Gandhi was too accommodating.[9][10] Nathuram Godse, a Hindu nationalist, assassinated Gandhi on 30 January 1948 by firing three bullets into his chest at point-blank range.[10]

God bless you my brother.

#THEY ARE DESCENDANTS OF DEVIL

i sincerely doubt that your igbo but if you're, then please modify your comments and stop using abusive language on a people that have done you no wrong yet. as for the news, it gladdens my heart but it will gladden it more if he can go a step further to attach a medical school to it.

EternalTruths:
Did you read my earlier post


I told the guy that UN don't need Nigeria approval before conducting Referendum in Biafrans

they don't if a major world power like Britain or USA is supporting it either openly or secretly and i believe that they are since they predicted that Nigeria would break up on or before 2016 and carried out successful war games on how they would secure our oil facilities when it begins, all these information are freely available on the web from authoritative sources. gej disappointed them by conceding defeat when they have already landed troops in Ghana and Niger thinking that violence would break out in Nigeria so now biafra and boko haram are their two pawns. i also found it interesting thatafter they refused to sell weapons to Nigeria and even blocked other countries from doing same, gej still dealth with boko haram by buying weapons from Russia and China but buhari has not bought a single rifle since assuming power. buhari is the western Greek gift/Trojan horse we have in this country.

^^^Bros, who wan die!?

99% of all news on all things in Nigeria you find on our news media are just press releases from one source or the other. Investigative journalism has long been dead in Nigeria and don't get me started on the grammatical blunders they daily commit without shame.

please, Nigerians in diaspora, how easy is it to come over to the usa and learn a building craft like masonry in a technical/community college? it would be in the form of a short term course for like three months to two years. thanks as i expect your response.
