They have devour all the good things that can come out of this great and promising state.

Do good for good to come your way

Waste of time, money and scarce taxpayers' money

Wish Nigeria a good outing in this Rio Olympic Games

It is very simple.....choice is limited!!!!

Can someone tell this man that he is 14months late? His well-deserved position has been given to PDP!!!

Now APC has a replacement for Ekweremadu.
Let both of them intensify their paraders/juju.
Let's watch how this play out!!!

irondome:
Quite true if the applicant has documented proof of the source of funds (e.g sales of properties, large benefit payment, etc). Quite similar to those who use gift deeds from their parents as documented source of funds.

However, in the case where the money is borrowed or any other liability, it's important that the funds/term deposit remain in the account for 6 months.

Per the boldest, Borrowed fund simply means it isn't your money.As you mentioned yourself - liability. That is not tenable as POF no matter how long you "fix" it because you need to return it to the owner.

Note that having liability isn't any issue so far your net still meets the required amount of POF.
I had a liability of over 500k with GTB when I submitted my application in 2014 but I made sure that my POF proof exceeds required amount by 1million Naira so as to accommodate my liability.

Again this is my personal opinion based on my personal experience

Good luck

@irondome, dupyshoo, superchi, ANBAKO, hartson

Just to be clear, for POF held in fixed/term deposits, how long must one have held it to be eligible?

Any money is eligible so far it is your money irrespective of how long it has been "your money". You should be able to prove that it is wholly yours and readily accessible.

The reason for 6 month statement is for the immigration officers to understand your cash flow and deduce if your POF is truly yours or not. If your average cash flow which is (for example) 200k suddenly shows a spike to 5million....that is highly suspicious hence you need to justify and prove the sudden spike beyond reasonable doubt.

Account statements/documented initial source of fund can be a supportive document to justify source of the fixed deposit at the early "days" of the deposit.

Please note that this is my personal opinion

They should first stop all the security vote, "funny" allowances, use guest houses instead of Transcorp Hilton, reduce convoy drastically, cut to bearest minimal number of aides, reduce entourage....

May confusion always befall the congregation of Nigerian looters and spoilers just like this.

Their looting congregation is now running around and confused!!!

Do good for good to come your way!!!!

The greatest scam ever invented is religion!!!

obioby:
after getting your PR, how long can you stay before you travel , what is landing , how does one find accommodation before going, with my ACCA , do I need to write thier professional exam there
Thank you

On getting confirmation of permanent residence (COPR), you are issued a visa that expires exactly 1year after your medical examination date. You must land before this date.

You can make acquaintance, there are fori or you can use Airbnb which is what I used when I did my landing.

As per professional exams, I don't know much....again join one of the numerous fori and Whatsapp group....

Goodluck!!!

JeremyP:
am only seeing car lights

Don't be sentimental.....please put on your glasses

Seems "lighting up" somewhere is now the new piggy bank!!!! From Lagos's Ambode to Osun's Aregbesola and now River's Wike.

All the same kudos to you guys....despite the hardship, austerity and recession, you guys are still trying and make the people feel the presence of government in your respective little way!!!!

But can you guys, through your so-called Governors forum, help do something about power so that these "light up" will not be powered by generators
More grease to your elbows!!!

KolaShangOne:
Bros, I don't think he meant he was doing it as a hustle. Maybe just when he is bored or has new ideas to try out. I like welding too. I like having to create something. But the health implications later in life is a drawback

Thanks Mr. Kola. This noted. It is just an observation and not an allegation.

n3xt:
Well done. I dey busy at my welding site doing my best on my newly found hobby.

#NowAmAWelder

Welding is an hobby to you?
I have a feeling that you don't know what welding entails, that is why you think it is hobby.

Welding angle irons and rebar isn't "welding" my brother.
There is a lot to welding that all those.

Anyways, I wish you well in your new hustle!!!


Do good for good to come your way!!!

40manlappy:
Thanks for sharing with us. Are you in Canada now?

Looping: hartson, keni, neny2k2

Technically Yes!!! I have my PR, did my landing but still in Nigeria.

40manlappy:
Well said. Your friend was fortunate; the letter was done for him "codedly".

I called my PFA this morning and asked if they could write such letter on my behalf. The agent paused to confirm and gave me feedback that they don't write such letters.

However, she told me that I can have access to 25% of pension contributions 4 months after leaving my job even if I have relocated abroad.

My take: Apparently, RSA may not be used as the primary POF but probably as a support since CIC would require funds that are unencumbered.

Anyone who intends to use it as additional POF MAY get: RSA statement of account; copy of the Pension Reform Act and asterisked clearly where it was stated that an individual has access to it 4 months after leaving current job and get it notarized supporting it with a brief explanation of how he can have access to the fund once PR is attained. Just my opinion!

irondome, zandora, dupyshoo, JesusDWay, iphie25, beyunce, Etfash what do you say?

You have done well. Exactly what I did when I did mine in 2014 less the notarization..
Please note that I did not use RSA as a the only POF but used with others like bank statement and Shares

Good luck!

Fusion23:
woow 488 is the new crs cut off ..am on 475 since over a month ..i hope it drops soon , anyways am patient.

please i need clarity on the proof of funds ..i was given 2.5m by my mum 2 months ago ..it has been in my account since then and it can be there for even the next two year..so my question is should i wait 6 months before applying or i can apply with that ..its a savings account.

You can apply right away. If there is any doubt, they will ask for another POF at the appropriate time.
Although it may raise a suspicion, so be ready to answer any query from them.
Just get your bank statement and that should be good.

hallly:
Please I have a savings account and my bank has refused to give me a reference letter to use as POF. Will only statement of account for past 6 months suffice? Kindly help it's urgent

Your statement of account for 6 months will be good enough

erico2k2:
Ok it's same thing I meant . I think it's 2 soft and flexible as for if they sell thicker gauge that I don't know.

Thanks chairman

erico2k2:
Bro why not use Y16 or 12 those square bars can be bent with hand

I am not using square rod/bar but square pipe.
Do they sell thick profiles? and where can I get them to buy?

Thanks

Please house, is there any disadvantage in using 1"X1" square pipe for burglary?

I am determined to use it but in a right way
Are there different thickness of this square pipe? If yes, where can I get them?
All the ones I have been seeing looks so thin to me

[quote author=WeldHome post=47918184][/quote]Per checkered plate, I agree that they have the same mechanical properties as the plain plates.

The reason why I prefer the checkered plate is the aesthetic that it brings to fabricated works especially door...hence I still stand by my choice of checkered plate.

I also do not like the designs done with grinding machine because its doesn't look real due to it manual approach. The contours, the depth of the "trough" and subsequently the width and the straightness are inconsistent and not neat ( at least all that have seen). This due to application of different "pressure" on the grinding machine and it's disk

I still do not understand you answer about the 2"x2" frame/door.

Can you upload a picture and use it to expatiate on the question.

Thanks

WeldHome:
I only know about locally fabricated doors and will talk about that. Now, locally fabricated doors range between 22 - 35k for single doors. I'm going to post from my spreadsheet and experience now..

Locally fabricated doors comes with various kinds of steel materials, depending on the one used by your welder, the prices could be high or low.

1. When single 2 by 2 inches tubings (thin sections) are used as sub frame, with plain steel plates of 1.5mm thickness, expect that to be the lowest quality and this one doest look so good. It's price could range between 22-24k depending on the welder.

2. When plates of 1mm are folded and used as sub-frame, you have a finer design and then the quality of the frame becomes better than that of number 1.

3. Now when different types of tubings (eg, 2 by 2 inches and 1 by 2 inches) to form a frame, especially if such tunings are of thicker sections, you have a strong and classy looking sub-frame that can be used for any type of door (wooden, aluminium, steel, etc). You can't get this kind of frame from just any welder, because we are only a few that does this type.

4. Now the type of door plate also matters a lot. If one is going for strength alone, then plain plates of 2mm or 2.5mm (hardly used for doors but rather for gates) can be used. But if strength and design are required, some predesigned plates are used by welders to make such. This predesigned plates comes in different sizes and types. Some are called China white and has some kind of silvery color if not yet completely rusted (avoid this type) and comes in 1.5mm and 2mm thickness. The darker plates have better quality and doesn't rust easily like the China white. Generally, designed plate doors are more expensive than checkered plate doors while checkered plate doors are more expensive than plain plate doors.

5. If also you want to patronize your local welders, ensure that their doors are precoated with red oxide before main painting. This is because most welders see this as "waste of paint" because they don't know the importance of red oxide.

6. Local steel doors are as strong as the the foreign ones but the foreign ones have better designs. Also, just like trusses (roof trusses also called roofing frames), steel doors are better than wooden doors and last longer in service.

I will post type of doors and their prices (based our prices) on this thread.

Single door with 6" pan frame/2mm plain plate (N29,000)
Single door with 9" pan frame/2mm plain plate (N30,000)
Double doors with 6" pan frame/2mm plain plate (N36,000)
Double doors with 9" pan frame/2mm plain plate (N37,000)
Single door 2 by 2 tube frame/2mm plain plate (N24,500)
Double door with 2 by 2 tube frame/2mm plain plate (N34,500)

Prices for special frames and design plate
Top quality 6 inches frame = N9,000
Lower quality 6inches frame with thin tunings = N6,000
Top quality design plate = N9,500
Lower quality design plate = N7,500

Thanks you so much for this great piece. I, IMO, think you have done justice to this topic.

I want to mentioned and elaborate on some few things that you mentioned here and ask further picture

Last week, I went around "scouting" for doors including local manufacturers/fabricators. I did not see any that used a primer(red oxide). All of them just paint directly is very evident as most has started showing sign of corrosion due to improper painting procedures

Can you please clarify what you mean by single and double door? This is because I know my doors by their sizes - 7ft x 3ft, 7ft x 4ft. What is the relationship between these definitions?

What is the financial implication of using checker plate (hope I get that right) as against the plain plate mentioned above?

What type (thickness) of 2" x 2" tubing (square pipe) will be used for last 2 doors above?

Finally can there be discount if I am ordering 20pcs?

Any private info can sent to anbako123@gmail.com

Just driving into warri through Ughelli and I could see the massive cloud from flaring....the area covered is just unimaginable.

I pity the people living in these area including myself as my hotel is very close to the refinery.

In another way, if this signifies that the refinery is running perfectly then it is "understandable"

Thanks Hajji

Hajji, Thank you for this thread, that I believe is gonna take a lot of weight off my shoulder and enlighten me on how to move forward with my build because I am confused due to this door issue. I want to get everything ready: Burglary, door, aluminium window before plastering. I can sort out the burglary and the window, but the door is a great concern because I could only find limited info on it.
