ollyjoseph: See video of the alleged Isolation center that has been built with N20BN In Kano State.
The recent rumour going round in social media regarding the alleged 20 billions naira spent on Covid-19 Isolation Centre by Kano government. According to information gathered, Kano State spent not less than 20 billion naira to put up their isolation centre but Nigerians are reacting over it.
The social media user who countered an alleged claim of the isolation center housing 800 Coronavirus patients in the video he filmed on May 24, sarcastically said Quote "this Corona na lie lie o".
He also disclosed that the facility is still under construction, as he maintained that the state government has only been telling them to wash their hands.
there is no need to mislead people here, cacovid is the body building the isolation center like they did in Lagos and other states. and the total donation they realized is just 25billion which also include palliatives and purchase of medical equipments
wow, this woman was my mom's boss when she worked at lagos state electricity board, very young and hardworking, unfortunately politics happened and she had to leave lagos and joined fashola at the federal level
So what happened to the argument that vitamin c boosts immunity?
There is nothing wrong with the argument, only that the most ACT antimalarials have a course of three days and vitamin c intake will only need to be avoided for just this 3days to avoid the drug-drug interaction
The simple explanation I can give is that oranges contain vitamin C which s an antioxidant and antioxidants generally function by moping up free radicals which are injurious to the body cells. These free radicals are however toxic to the malaria parasites in the body and are also formed from red blood cells through the use of your regular ACTs antimalarials
Therefore taking vitc while on ACT is like fire and water which eventually leads to zero effect because the free radicals that are learnt to kill the parasite in the body has been moped up by the vit c
slade31: that question should go directly to seun nd his mods... Me I can't download what I know nothing about ooo... If nairaland is under any kind of attack seun should tel us..
I dont think it is from nairaland, cos i am on another site and i still get it
Asphalt roads wear more than concrete roads, but many countries are replacing concrete roads with asphalt because it is cheaper, despite concrete roads having some major advantages. Learn about the advantages and disadvantages of the different road paving surfaces in this article. In most Developed Nations In almost all the new major road construction you can see the use of concrete rather than asphalt these days. At the same time, some popular highways are still in asphalt.
Advantages of Concrete Roadways Durability and maintenance free life: Concrete roads have a long service life of forty years, whereas asphalt roads last for ten years. More over, during this service life concrete road do not require frequent repair or patching work like asphalt roads.
Vehicles consume less fuel: A vehicle, when run over a concrete road, consumes 15-20% less fuel than that on asphalt roads. This is because of the fact that a concrete road does not get deflected under the wheels of loaded trucks. Resistant to automobile fuel spillage and extreme weather: Unlike asphalt roads, concrete roads do not get damaged by the leaking oils from the vehicles or by the extreme weather conditions like excess rain or extreme heat.
Greener process: Asphalt (bitumen) produces lots of highly polluting gases at the time of melting it for paving. Also, less fuel consumption by the vehicle running on a concrete road means less pollution.
Saving of natural resources: Asphalt (bitumen) is produced from imported petroleum, the reserve of which is becoming reduced drastically. On the other hand, concrete (cement) is produced from abundantly available limestone.
Disadvantages of Concrete Roadways
Paving cost: The paving cost of the concrete road is little higher compared to asphalt paving.
Maintenance Problem: In case the concrete road breaks, the whole concrete slab needs to be replaced.
Safety features: In rainy and the winter season vehicles tend to slip or slide on concrete road due to rain and snow.
Advantages of Asphalt (Bitumen) Road
Economical: Asphalt is still less costly compared to concrete.
Moreover, it takes less time to build a asphalt road than a concrete road. (Asphalt dries faster.) Recyclable: Asphalt is a recyclable material. It can be used again and again by melting it.
Easy maintenance: Repairing just a part of the asphalt road is easily possible. Asphalt roads even can be relayered over the old layer.
Safe: Asphalt roads provide better traction and skid resistance for vehicles. Asphalt tends to help keep roads free from ice and snow. Disadvantages of Asphalt (Bitumen) Road
Durability: heavy rain and other extreme weather conditions damage the asphalt road, and the roads need to be repaired frequently.
Weather Pollution: Melting asphalt produces lots of harmful green house gases. Also costly petroleum is required to produce asphalt.
Conclusion Concrete roads are highly durable and more environmentally friendly as compared to asphalt roads. However asphalt paving costs far less than concrete paving. Also, asphalt road provides a little better safety of the vehicle against snow and skidding.
