PropertiesUrgent – Quotation For First Floor Slab - 4 Flat by adctrl(op): 6:27pm On Nov 25, 2016

Hello,

Thanks for sharing. I am beginning to follow and I have to say you are doing a very nice job here.
May the Lord help you as you continue. Amen

I am at the decking stage of a 4-flats of 3-bed house like yours and it seems the quote I got is on the high side.

Please share your quotes if you can. I will appreciate it and I'm sure others will as well, at some point or the other.

Thanks

CareerRe: Stanbic's Sola David-Borha Earns N170 Million A Year by adctrl: 3:54pm On Dec 19, 2013
Some guys in Nigeria needs some exposure and info.

She is the CEO for that matter and the N170m is just a bit over 1/2 of a million sterling and over the years I have read that people who are not even close to the top dog in the banking industry in UK/US earn bonus of up to £1 million with the top guys raking home between 3 -10m.

Is that all her take home or that's just her salary.....go ask from your sources!

Even though it is better to earn half of the UK/US pay here because you can get to save or keep most of it!!!

FamilyRe: Things That Happen When You Grow-up In An African House by adctrl: 4:30pm On Jun 03, 2013
I am Yoruba and thought these apply to Yorubas only but it seems someone else earlier said he experienced most or all though he is not a Yoruba.

I can hardly count the number of times I ate chicken thigh when i was a kid....that's always for my papa. Probably only Christmas by luck when more than 2 hens are slaughtered. What they don't realise is that even kids should eat the most-fleshy part for "development" at that age

Overall, I have to say most of the points are still very good but we Nigerians or Africans needs to improve on some of the point......more consideration, communication will help a long way

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Alex Ferguson Retires As Manchester United Manager by adctrl: 11:26am On May 08, 2013
There is no doubt that SAF is a living legend when it comes to football management as he is up there with the greats.
As much as I used to dislike him, I can't fault his commitment and same he has impacted on his players over the years.... the 'must win' mentality is never lacking in his teams
He has been so much enriched and long enough in the English football such that all the officials met him on the stage and thereby favour him and his teams than any others and the same applies partly to all 'big' teams against the 'small' ones like Wigan, QPR, Reading etc.

What his retirement means for Man United is that they will drop more points than they would have done if Fergie was still in charge and concede more penalties etc where the officials would have ignored for the fear of Fergie's wrath.

The team mostly going to gain is Man City

Go Gunners!!!
SportsVOTE: Has Jose Mourinho Failed In Real Madrid? by adctrl(op): 12:09pm On May 02, 2013
With the resources and players he has got at Real, would you say he has failed or a success so far before he leaves at the end of the season?

All that is required is your yes or no. Thanks
PoliticsRe: Photos Of The Presidential Villa - ASO ROCK by adctrl(op): 3:14pm On Apr 16, 2013
Ok then, I can see that this thread has been viewed over 100 times in a short time and that means people must be interested in seeing what it looks like just like myself.....as usual in the military days, everything is blamed on "security reasons"
I have done a lazy job of Google imaging it and I reckon the 2 attached should be it

PoliticsPhotos Of The Presidential Villa - ASO ROCK by adctrl(op): 1:25pm On Apr 16, 2013
Guys, I have not seen the pictures of the presidential villa and I can understand that during the military regime but not now in our so called "democracy" afterall those of White House, No 10 Downing Street is shown every now and then in the news etc.

A friend of a friend was showing a picture of a room supposedly in Aso Rock which was a bit bizarre as it could be any good room anywhere really!

Anyone has snaps of what it looks like?

Delible: Rubbish question.Jobless people answering. Wonder what the frontpage is for now.
I thought what a stupid questions when I first saw it but reading people's responses, I realised it's not stupid afterall.
Reading through makes you realise people can have varied lifestyles, requirements etc
Under an "ideal" scenario we should go home after work I reckon and that's what I do anyway except I have to buy stuffs or have an appointment etc.
You can't bet against seeing your wife & kids if you have any, after being away for some time even hours!
Music/RadioRe: Sunny Ade Vs Ebenezer Obey: Who Do You Prefer? by adctrl: 12:14pm On Apr 12, 2013
debetmx: I prefer Ebenezer Obey but i dont subscribe to the fact that one is better than the other. They are both greats in their own rights.
You nailed it!
Both are greats and so it all depends on who's style you prefer really which can depend on things like which of them you were introduced to by your family (as in my came), your up-bringing, your origin, even religion etc

It's a hard nut to crack for me but I would say I prefer the Sunny style just!
FamilyRe: Left-handedness In Children; Can It Be Corrected? by adctrl: 1:32pm On Apr 03, 2013
maasoap: It only becomes problem if he is using it to eat or take things to his mouth. It will surely become a stigma in later life because he won't be able to eat outside home and he won't be able to eat with or among his colleagues. I had a roommate that uses left hand to eat and he just stopped going to restaurants because people used stare at him whenever he was eating. Then another kid in my area is facing the same problem because his elder brothers are refusing to eat wt him because he also uses left to eat.
Hello, what you are saying here will probably only apply in Nigeria. I use both hands but primarily a lefty and I used my left outside in restaurants to do things mostly including using a fork to eat and picking chips etc with it!

Few of American presidents and even British PMs were lefty.......make God save Nigeria from this type of backwardness!!!

I reckon all those thinking their left is inferior to the right hand should ask for it to be amputated and tell us how far. God Almighty has given us the 2 on equal basis
FoodRe: Meat Before Or After Meal: Which Is Better? by adctrl: 1:02pm On Mar 20, 2013
GoodWife: I eat small, chop meat small, eat small chop meat small grin grin But the final piece of meat is eaten last because once the meat finishes, I lose appetite smiley
That's it for me also and I reckon it makes sense because meat is sweeter and once you finish the sweet stuff then the less-sweet stuffs i.e the main food is meant to waste/suffer.

But now I try to eat meats between meals and ultimately finish with piece of meat

Thanks guys.... most especially @Sprumbaba for going straight to the point as that was what I was asking for here!
So a friend drawing one for me for 100,000 is a good deal. I was not sure really and that's why I needed an idea from the forum

PropertiesRe: Building Plan For A Twin Duplex - Cost? by adctrl(op): 5:21pm On Mar 06, 2013
What is the point of draw and keep?

I am planning to start a building project and want an idea of how much it costs and what approvals are involved.

This is for anyone who has had a plan drawn for them recently or someone/architect etc who draws one. Please only reply if you have an idea only :-O

What will/should be involved in the cost...e.g approvals, stamping etc?

I will appreciate your response if you have any ideas on this.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Is Barcelona Reign Coming To An End. by adctrl: 6:54pm On Feb 27, 2013
Hey, how can one conclude that their reign as the best team in the world is over? There is not a team who has not gone through similar patch in the last few years i.e W-L-W-L.
Mind you those that think you can learn to play a team like Barcelona saying Inter showed others how to do it under Mourhino. If that is the case, Barcelona should never beat his team again but records show they have beaten Real Madrid under him not less than 4-5 times in all competition. That tells you footy is not mathematics.
The element of luck can be so huge also

PropertiesBuilding A 4-flat Of 3-bedroom Each by adctrl(op): 3:56pm On Jan 23, 2013
I plan to embark on a project of building the above, obviously for renting and possibly using one of the 4 flats when I am in town as I currently reside in the UK.

First, can any architect provide any plan of modern 4 flats

secondly, does anyone who has been involved in similar project give an estimate of how much each major stages can cost...e.g foundation, blocks to decking (slabs I believe some call it, decking etc

This project is scheduled to start next month in Sagamu, Ogun State....so your prompt, urgent and sincere contribution will be appreciated!
