EducationRe: Lead British School Addresses Bullying Of Student (Press Statement) by Badgers14: 2:06pm On Apr 23, 2024

You discipline first, before you offer counselling.

The statement is more like they are trying to appease the bully.
The bully is probably a child of their benefactor.

And moreover they don't want parents to start pulling their kids out of the school.. so they appear to pretend they are addressing the issue.

This statement potrays a feeling of respect for the bully, as if they don't want to offend the parents, I was expecting to see words like expelled or suspended !!!
That's what big money private school do.. damage control


Next, they will find a reason to throw party and everyone will forget about it.

Yes, it can be used for multi storey floors.

It's a matter of structural design, the frame is designed to resist the lateral loads while the slabs can be rib slab and this type of block can be used.
Thanks for your clarification.

I would rather do what you did than use all those common shine shine tiles. I have seen the real outdoor tiles and I definitely know that nothing they have in Nigeria comes close to it.
This is from a place I went to today .
The real thing to do is using natural stones that are cut into regular tiles shapes.
In Nigeria because there are no property insurance, people just do whatever. No insurance would cover any house with such outdoor floor because it’s a big liability.
A friend did that shine shine outdoor tiles and I was not even amused by it, I was shocked to see that. Like man what thinketh thou ? He said ehn ehn so people will know he has arrived, and he has no business with reptiles crawling in his compound.

I understand that's his house and all but his reasons got me shaking my head.. I guess why should we care about human safety, slip and falls etc?

This is a guy that have journeyed Europe and have seen those exterior tiles that lasts for thousands of years... easy to maintain too..

For the reptiles there's many natural solutions to that, introduce plants that they don't like in your compound etc..

This is precast rib slab construction. I'm planning to start providing this service in Nigeria

It has lots of advantages like, it being cheaper, it's faster and it's as sound as the rigid slab normally adopted in Nigeria.

Also, you can achieve the required strength for the rib beams because they can be properly cured.

One major disadvantage is that its joints need to be properly designed especially for areas prone to seismic activities.

I hope you guys will patronize my smart_slab solution �
Is there a limit to using this precast slab?

Like can one use it in multi storey buildings like say 3 to 4 storey?

I have seen this trend in east African buildings but they are usually one storey building.

Hello people, please I need your honest advice on how to remedy this sockaway project. The person is trying to build a precast sockaway because the soil is sandy. However, while trying to dig the ground so the precast sinks down, it cracked and why trying to figure that out, the side starts to compress.

I will be in the comment section to read your honest advice. Many thanks great minds.
Wahala wahala..

I was just wondering the engineers thought process? As it is now, how do they plan to proceed as their initial plan did not work out?

I am not an engineer myself but maybe that was a wrong approach to begin with?

EducationRe: Bloomberg Exposes How Tinubu Was Using $2billion To Defend The Naira by Badgers14: 11:12am On Apr 18, 2024
michlins:
Government is defending the currency and giving you the poor masses breathing space but out of sheer desires to see this country destroyed, the same poor people are fighting against the defense.


If government should borrow to save naira and make it easier for me to live, government should do it. When they looted and didn't invest in Nigeria, I wasn't a part of it. Nigeria will not be destroyed because I want Obi to win.

The reason I voted for Obi is for better life and if Tinubu is giving me that, I will support him and his policies
Defending the naira is good thing as it helps the economy.


My problem with their approach is, are they putting a band aid on an issue to give the economy a quick win while crippling the economy long term?

FG knows what to do , all they are doing is just going round the problem instead of taking it head on.

I am still yet to understand why "roundtripping" have not been abolished.

Why would someone that needs to pay their supplier in China, need to go to BDC to buy dollar to come and pay into the bank to effect the transfer. It's not like the bank will take the money in cash to China.. the transaction is done electronically.

Why can't banks just deduct the money from customers account at official rate so the customer could pay their kids school fees, medical bills, or their foreign supplier?

Also, I do hope that FG is true to their word on clamping down on businesses that charges in dollars while doing business in Nigeria.

Not to forget increasing local production.. what is the government doing about improving the power supply.. if the government can improve electricity that would greatly reduce the cost of doing business and encourage more entrepreneurs.

Sometimes I don't really blame Ten Hag on interviews because English is not his first language and sometimes, non traditional English speakers find it hard to convey exactly how they feel or what they were trying to say.

But yesterday from what I watched.. Ten Hag got his tactics wrong or the players failed to follow his instructions.

First, Bruno is a very good player but I don't like the role he plays in manutd squad, he is all over the pitch causing other players to loose position.. what DeBruyne in Man city, Messi in Barcelona that plays similar roles as Bruno.. you don't always see them all over the pitch like Bruno.. Bruno should channel his skills to specific part of the pitch.

Dalot, another good player but he needs to focus on his wing.. just like Antonio Valencia and co did before him.. run up and down the flank and cut in the middle when he needs to.. at some point in yesterday's game he was in a top 9 position?

Hojlund needs to decide if he wants to be a WWE wrestler or a top 9 striker for a big club. He displayed zero skills yesterday.

Ten Hag needs to use the flanks more , right back and right winger supposed to be in synch.

Left back and left winger supposed to be in synch.

Bruno needs to have a defined role, connecting midfield with the forwards and the strikers, he needs to be linking plays not being all over the pitch.

Casemiro is declining in talent, and should be playing less minutes.

Ten Hag did well by subbing Garnacho at half time, but he should have subbed Casemiro instead of Mainoo..
Also Rashford and Hojlund should have been subbed as well.

What is Ten Hag thinking? Taking off Mainoo??

He should have taken off Hojlund , moved Rashford to 9 and mount to 7.

I would have taken off Casemiro off before mainoo

Amad really changed the Game a bit..

Hojlund need to decide if he wants to be a top 9 striker or a WWE wrestler..

He is just wrestling with defenders.. zero skills as a top striker..

I really don't like the role of Dalot and Fernandez.

Dalot is off position , in the midfield too much leaving the defense exposed on the right..

Garnacho is just running up and down the flank like his crush is watching him play..

Dalot should return to his right back position and move up and down the flank.. just like Antonio Valencia did before him.. then cut into the midfield when he has to.

Fernandez is just all over the pitch causing some people to lose position and I think he is not being effective.. he should be focused on playing 8 just like DE Bruyne plays for man city.

As a business man, Erisco scored an own goal, should have just ignored that Chioma
I said the same.. Erisco is no where as rich as elon Musk or Zuckerberg.. people have said worse about these and many individuals like bill gate and bezos.. any of the aforementioned guys can buy erisco foods just to put it out of business but they don't engage in fighting little guys..

There was a little guy that was tracking Elon Musks private jet movement and posting it online.. this even made him to sale that particular jet.

Elon Musk never sued the guy even though he's got the money to hire all the best lawyers in each state in the U.S but he didn't do it..

He knew the negative publicity won't go well with his empire..

Erisco made a big mistake.. I hope he realize that before it's top late for him.

There's no coal in Onitsha.

Even if there was, when Ajaokuta steel was instituted in Kogi state. Coal was a viable commodity at time.

I have actually seen the documents posted here on nairaland few months ago.. Onitsha was one of the places recommended by the engineer.
