Yeah, I agree because the rain was too much but be as it may I will advise government to intensify efforts to construct more drainage.

The bulk of the work rest on us, the citizens, if you see the way refuse is being disposed in some neighbourhoods even in the elite neighbourhood; you will be shocked

Demolishing structures built on the drainage is a sure way of creating drainage!

at what point should a woman be beaten by a man Only cowards beat women

God please save Nigeria and give our leaders wisdom.

BRF is always ahead of GEJ

Although we need more than promises and talk but at least it is better than silence.

I don't know what to say for the breakdown that you posted than to say A BIG THANKS.

Fhemmmy:
For some reason, when i see pictures with women being used for labor on those sites, i get some goose bumps and worried . . . . .

Fhemmmy, those women are professionals oooo

I was surprised when I saw the crew that came to do the german floor for my house, the crew was led by a woman and I can recommend the crew to any person cos their work is so solid and neat!

Women are really proving that what a man can do, a woman can do better.

spyder880:
Yes, its because you understand buildings, some will now jump on board and say its bad work. Also, those insisting on some kind of blocks will now see that blocks don't carry the house, its the columns and beams that matter most.

Thanks for this eye opener. I have been thinking about such a concept before.

GEJ please wake up

Pls what is Government doing?

Whao, good boy, keep the flag flying.

First of all, thanks for posting such a great eye opener on this forum. Few people have access to Nairaland.

I will advise you to contact either WAZOBIA or any other FM station and possible Channels TV (make you no show your face o!!!) so that proper publicity can be accorded to this case.

Pls Government set intelligence in motion atleast these guys are not spirits.

Good drainage is also key in combating this menace!

Haba, please God help our leaders to take the right step at the right time, amen.

A big congratulations to you and family. Thank God for safe delivery.

Weldone, Oga spyder880. I am learning and waiting for feedback from the site.

Lose interest ke, Receive your zeal back by God's grace.


You cannot leave this thread with all your effffffiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. LOL

When will Nigerian military stop behaving irrationally? Intelligence should be put in place instead of beating the innocent citizens as retaliation for the death of one of their own.

Amen, it is done.

Hearts of men.

Weldone guys!!! More grease to your elbow.

Happy birthday to a great talent.

It still beat my imagination why people believe that you have to be out of 9aija to make something good out of your situation.

This I-must-give-birth-abroad mentality causes a lot of pain most of the time.

God will make a way for you, your husband and the children.

WHAT DOES NOT COME FIRST FROM ABOVE (GOD) CANNOT COME FROM ABROAD

Hummmmm Nigeria we hail thee!!! From "Boko Haram" to "Boyz Harassment"

May God help our leaders to act and take right steps!!!

I reserve my further comments

ggggrrrrraaaaaa!!! I am just clearing my voice as I await the pictures/update

Haba!!! why are we paying so much for what is not functional

Over feeding is causing unrest again

I still wonder how parenting is being done in our days!!!
