I never wanted England to win.



Their fathers sins against Biafra will keep hurting them

Gabrokpara001:
Well lets examine it in details.

The "flat roof" pattern can be done in different ways, each having different cost effect.

IT COULD BE FLAT ROOF WITH EAVES PROJECTION ( as shown in model one of this post ) this option of flat roof is relatively the most economic option because it entails only the use of woods & aluminum sheet.

IT COULD BE FLAT ROOF WITH PARAPET WALL & ROOF GUTTER (as shown in model two & four of this post ) this option is personally my most preferred. It is more costly than option one however offers more beauty. its construction involves first casting of about 600/700mm wide by 100mm thick reinforced concrete gutters at which the roof gable wall springs up from it,then the gutter channels the rain water away from the top of the building. The roof is totally hidden . There exist a common form of this flat roof with parapet wall were the zinc/roof is connected directly/inside the parapet wall (i.e no roof gutter is made) such pattern can easily lead to leaks over a long time

IT COULD ALSO BE FLAT ROOF, CONCRETE FACIA. ( as shown in model 3 of this post)

This pattern is very similar with option one, different is the eaves are made of reinforced concrete slab, at which the purlins of the building rests on it.



Summary flat roof construction is more economical that the traditional hip roof, purely because of lesser volume. However, if not done properly by using professionals you ll definitely spend more or even get rid of it

Your summary is my very headache,

thergha1:
Pros: it is cheaper than the traditional roofing method
It is easier to maintain if it's done properly
You can use whatever kind of roofing sheet you
want since the roof will be hidden
It is faster to construct also
Cons: it is easier to have roof leakage if it is not gotten
right
It does not trap heat as much as traditional roofing
method but it will still do okay

If you are still not satisfied.. Dm

Exactly what I want to hear, thanks so much Sir.
Will get back to you.

Mod help me push this stuff to FP for wider review.

Thanks

Hello nairalanders,
Let me begin to appreciate you all for all the wonderful and insightful discussions being carried out here, it's really helpful.

I'm planning on building a 3 bedroom bungalow with hidden roof because I so much fancy the designs and it's simplicity but I'm afraid that many people are yet to embark massively on building such structure.

What are the cos and pros of building a hidden roof?
What about the roof leakages and whole lot of unforseen circumstances?

Please those masters in the building industries should advice me before I made a mistake.

Again, it's seems only a few house engineers are into this type of structure.

Thanks and have a great weekend.

My dream house but fear dey catch me

Every other African countries are leaving the big zoo far behind.


Let them develop at their own pace.

Corea4king:
U don't know anything about uffiom / ezza people,so stop spreading false information.
I

Is uffiom that accommodated ezza people, because of their small population,ezza people beging to marginalize them.
Go search uffion/ezza history

Nobody is marginalizing anybody but enviousness caused effium people to start buying weapons secretly in other to wipe their neighbors Ezzas.
Again,Ezzas are doing very well in terms of properties and investment...there you have ur answers.

Prince2324:
You are very stupid by spewing and writing this trash when you are fully aware that, that land is not Ezza land or does Effium land resemble That hell of a place you call Onueke.

I don't know the Joy you Ezza miscreants derive from fighting over something that doesn't belong to you.

And the funny thing about you Ezza guys is that you don't know how to fight, small Ezillo drove you out and you are here talking rubbish.

One thing you should know is that Ezza have never for once prepare to fight anybody of community... they were always be the first to be attack which also throw them off balance.
So Ezzas are not warmongers as you claim,but won't fold hands and allow little parasite with little or no directions to wipe them.
On a lighter note,it amuses me when you want to compare Almighty Ezzas to a tinye Effium.lol


Every other thing you mentioned is just a hogwash.

Ebubu:
But the Govenment has demarcated the land and granted Uffiom indigenous rights as well as recognised their Chieftaincy stool, and only gave Ezza people semo-autonomous status.

Why can’t the Ezza accept that?

Why will Ezzas be accepted to play a second fiddle?
Such a thing will never happen, any day the govt want to settle the matter we will know for now we neither have a working governor nor a village masquerade.

Ebubu:
I am an Abakaliki man. Ezza people are my distant relatives. So naturally I should side them but I don’t.

I side with the state government who sided with the Uffiom people. A white paper agreement was gazetted in the ministry of justice this February that Ezza people are guests and Uffiom are their hosts, the traditional ruler in Uffiom is officially recognised and the Ezza are officially recognised as guests but Ezza can’t have traditional stool, however they are part of the land and are semi-autonomous.

I side with State government communique and Uffiom people. Even though I’m not related at all to Uffiom who migrated from Benue and Cross river in 17th century.

Let me tell you the story.


Uffiom migrated around 17th century to meet that land as Ngbo land . And I am from Ngbo. They waged war against us but couldn’t win, they travelled to recruit Ezza warriors who are notorious and popular warlords. Ezza had a deal that if they waged the war for them and they won, they would be part and parcel of the land for 100 years. Uffiom accepted and together they defeated us and pushed us further South and East of Ngbo land.

100 years has passed and Ezza have refused to go back to their land, claiming they’ve buried their fathers in Uffiom land and it’s against their tradition to exhume corpses. And they don’t have anywhere else to go. Quite well, Ezza is enterprising and have connections abroad and in Lagos and together they’ve developed the Uffiom land to a large extent but see the Uffiom aboriginals as having a backward lifestyle with no resources or wealth to develop their segments of the society, left for them they can turn Uffiom land to modern town if they are the sole occupants.

Uffiom people see their land grabbing and overbearing nature and want them out. They refuse. Traditional rulers start to incite locals and fight break out!


Just like what you have in Palestine and Israel at Gaza. Two tribes, one city. Nobody gree for eachother.


So don’t accuse me of siding Ezza when you have read my first paragraph

Thanks for ur straight forward narration,Ezza never started any war in the first place but Effium who secretly arming and stockpile arms to use to kill their brothers.
Being an Ngboman you said you be,none of ur people ever like Ezza people for anything though is natural when you see ur neighbors doing very well in anything they lay their hands.
Ogom I married from Amofia Abrigwe Ngbo and knows how I was treated though my father in-law is a Godsend.
We're Israelites in the mix of Arabs.

Ebubu:
Ebonyi state will hardly vote Ezza man to be Governor in the near time future even as Nwifuru hands over to Ebonyi central (Ezza land), in the next 8 years. This is because of the fear Ebonyi people have for Ezza people in terms of land grabbing and massacre in Uffiom that will be heightened, as well as Ezza-Ezzilo war that will be re-ignited with support of the Ezza governor.

Ebonyi people are too fearful of voting in an Ezza man, at least for now. Next 8 years power will likely go to Ikwo again. At least their own war is literally only with neighbouring cross river and they’re largely not known to be as troublesome as Ezza. Watch out for Ben Uruchi Odoh the commissioner for justice.

Ok
But one day monkey go enter market but will hardly look back

EleventhWeirdo:
You tried in your narration. I served in Effium from 2019-2020, and I can tell you for free that it was a segregated community with the two sides living in parallels. Sometimes, the kids would try to bring the talk and hate to the classroom but I forbade it. Ezza kids would come to me in secret to tell me ridiculous things about Effium and Effium kids too would do same about Ezza. I would only smile. I knew war was imminent because the hate was so deep that you could feel it the moment you step into Effium town. Ezza people regarded Effium indigenes as a backward minority that would not allow them to develop Effium in the name of their indigenous claims on the land. Effium, on the other hand, saw Ezza as invading land gabbers who are there to take their land in the name of development. Ezza people were far richer with many having access to Lagos connections and other resources, but Effium folks are more battle hardened and do not joke with their land or culture despite their poverty. The only way is to partition the land and make laws banning encroachment. The ezza may not be indigenous, but they have made soo much investments there that expulsion is not realistic

you really captured the whole scene.

Ebubu:
Ezza people are troublesome.

When you fear Ebonyi man is easily irritated and can easily pick up a fight, it is an Ezza man.

Their ancestors were warlords.

All these things Fulani herdsmen do, they can’t try it in Ezza land or any land Ezza people have interest.

Uffiom people are not indigenous Igbos, migrated from Cross River and Benue. Although they are now indigenous Ebonyians, they speak and hear Igbo, but speak their distinct dialect which Ebonyians don’t hear.

However their quarrel with Ezza people are decades long, and Ebonyi govt is siding with Uffiom, however Ezza people don’t want to let go and are massacring Uffiom people. Uffiom people massacre them too, but are outpopulated by Ezza people. Ezza people just want to massacre them into extinction or send them back to Benue/Cross river so they can take over their arable land.

The Ebonyi state Government Peace committee instituted by the Governor has sided Uffiom people, but the Ezza people are not having it.

You speaks like someone who knows everything about that war,now tell me where Ezza people are troublesome in anyway,Ezza people are not pushover even though the government of Ebonyi state which they fought to be created are yet to come their way.
Effium people started that war with their neighbors and are now paying for it.

Focusmind:
Ebonyi people and conflict!!

I usually pity their young ladies wanting to marry, especially wanting to marry Anambra man. As a young lady from that place, once you tell an Anambra man that you are from Ebonyi, him don run

One thing always comes to mind in most Igbos once you mention that you are from Ebonyi.

Gone are days, you're still leaving in the past.

Wake up

Prince2324:
Ezza people is a curse for humanity, they think that effium is ant in their hand but surprisingly to them effium people has been holding their ground.

Ezillo people deal with those motherfuckers and send them to where they belong

who is this idiotss spewing trash from both side of the mouth,are you insane,who started the war and how do you know effium people are holding ground.
Tell your people not to start what they cannot finished,you can't start a war with Ezza people and expect not to pay dearly.
Holding ground indeed.ewu

judetov2:
Hahahah Mathew:24 comes to mind.... I am happy that Nigerian men are beginning to wise up.... U hardly see serious guys in church these days...let our women continue to fool themselves.....

This is not a joke,so many guys have left their church...na women remains

In the East, everyone is living fine and managing...just the high cost of goods and services.


Tinubu should continue what he's doing.

ufotunang:
...ok and do they show English premier league live matches, Spanish, Italian ,french league, UEFA champions league, WWE wrestling matches are they better than DStv...I am just asking

Everything as you mentioned with ur monthly 5k

Macphenson:
Will they show Premier league and champions league? If they can, then they have the market, if not they are joking.
Thats the only reason why a lot of Nigerians still subscribe to that exploitative and useless DSTV.

They're really trying, I've been using it since last year, just sub 5k and enjoy yourself.

AmazingELixir:
Ok


I wonder who Isreal Adesanya will back this time his half country man Joshua or his bestie Francis Ngannou.

Hmmm he go just Sidon dey look

DSC7:
Please you people should stop protesting and spreading propaganda against this government....

Tinupoo is working and building Nigeria 💪

Exactly my taught 😄

Why protesting in the west where the president comes from?

In the East we will keep managing and hoping for a better tomorrow.


#noProtectInTheEast

Bayajjidda:
An Anambra man that knows Ebonyi more than you that claims to be from Ebonyi. You should be ashamed of yourself.

I have no problem with the issue you have with Anambra people, mine is, that you Abakaliki people should stop trying to force other people in Ebonyi State to take up your Abakaliki identity. Before 1996, we weren't in the same state. We were first in Imo state, then moved to Abia state in 1993, before we merged with you Abakalliki people in 1996. Whereas you Abakaliki people were formerly in Anambra state, before being moved to Enugu state in 1993. As you can see we were never together till 1996 when we were forcefully merged by Abacha.

Why are you angry that we don't want to be called Nwa Abakaliki when our identity is not Abakaliki? Do you want to colonize us? Sorry, we won't be colonized by mere 'nkotono' people.

Brother seriously you have Clearfield many things to them and I beg to just help and lift Ebonyi state from the caricatures others has been throwing to the state.

I'm a proud Ezza man and not Nwa Abakaliki, Abakaliki is a LGA in Ebonyi state and owned by Izzi people.

Our governor is doing well but we need to see more infrastructural development like during Dave Umahi.

Nothing interest me in this helll

peterodejide:
how has your experience been with their football channels

They're doing well but you must subscribe 5k

I have the Sltv decor with 5k subscription you can watch 6 match and more

Abagworo:
Baseless excuse without meaning. Buhari Government printed money so why did your Tinubu fight Emefiele for trying to reduce liquidity and till this day has refused to implement cashless and deflation policy? The hope for Nigeria lies in Igbo ethnic group and the conspiracy to kill our economy rather than let them lead is the reason for all these "bulabas".

guy you still dey?

Have a great moment.

I love the Buses and they're all doing fine.


But I want our governor to at least build roads in rural areas of the state to cover where Dave stopped.



Ebonyi state is blessed already.

BoldBrainz:
This is naivety speaking.

All those items you mentioned are luxuries whose imports don't even contribute up to 4 percent of the pressure on the FX market.

Why?
Those are items that are comfortably affordable to Nigerians that don't number up to 10 million, at this very instant. Taking them off the import list or taxing them heavily is going to have an infinitesimal effect on the current naira/dollar quagmire. And humans have a way of sourcing for things that are out of reach, even if they have to circumvent the system. The moment you raise taxes on those things or ban their importation, they automatically become twice as expensive as cocaine. Importers will put more money into smuggling them in, and those willing consumers will only be too happy to spend even more to acquire them. You have solved nothing.

You people keep prescribing paracetamol for acute malaria. Fuel, food, health care and education are the major drains on our FX right now. Fix the basic rots in those four places with local production, and you have automatically eased pressure on the naira by 50 percent. Those are the things every ordinary Nigerian sweats to afford. If those things are domestically produced in the right quantity and quality, importers will no longer make profits from bringing them in, cause people will opt for what is home and affordable.

you hit the nail on the head

Nwanne you're a good business man
