Melagros:
COMRADES, my happiness is that, even the Muslims and the atheists also attended the funeral, this implies that the late Pope was a great man
Great man or not, that's not the reason.

The pope is a head of state (Vatican).. so it is a common courtesy for head of states/president's to attend a funeral of one of their own..

Some president sent representatives, some attended in person.

Someone said Nigeria was more prosperous under military regimes...

Even when Abacha was the head of state.. things weren't this bad they said..

I haven't truly investigated this claim but people were saying it is true.

Thank you very much for your detailed and inspiring post.

Yes, I have decided to take off the old existing foundation completely. The foundation of my desired building will be deeper and will cut across the existing foundation.

I also agree to your points about prioritising the internal part of the house and making it habitable, instead of being too focused on the externals of the house. It is a very good point

One way i am ensuring this is by leveraging a model I am sure works: I currently live (on rental) in a well-built, intentional, spacious and ventilated house and compound, so I think I will just work with an architect to replicate the plan of the house, with some modifications to suit my taste.
Cheers!!

Let's assume you are right and it is a set up. Is theft something he should fall for? If you have a child of 13 years and you put money on the table on purpose to see whether he will take it, if he takes it, are you going to still blame yourself for leaving the money on the table?


Rational reasoning disappears when we want to support foolish scenarios
Read the article well and use your common sense..

A masked man walking around in a restaurant, neither the restaurant manager, bus boy, server etc didn't ask questions??

A masked man walking past 2 secret service agents?

The alleged thief, name and picture not made public but he is in custody??

Her security details who let that happen unnoticed need to be questioned.
Maybe it was staged..

Similar to the first attempt on Trump assassination.. there are videos of the rally attendees informing law enforcement that there is a guy on the roof.. they ignored them..

No details provided about so called thief …. Makes it seem very likely they are lies to boost their anti immigration propaganda
Most likely, just like the when they arrested a guy that was allegedly was in the golf course to take out Trump.. the guy is from north carolina, not even from Florida..

moreover, Trump's visit to the golf course that day was not scheduled, it was impromptu.. but somehow the guy that was allegedly planning to take him out was in the golf course for 12 hours waiting for Trump to arrive?

Whats next on their list? A pregnant lady from Honduras that arrived in the U.S illegally to have her baby was arrested at the supreme court where she came to steal the judgment on the birthright citizenship??

Thousands of ordinary Americans experience this yearly, only reason this made the news is because of the person involved. High end restaurants are not as secured as y'all are led to believe grin grin
My doubt there is, out of every guest in the building.. the thief stole a purse of a DHS boss.. a masked man walked past secret service agents..walking into a restaurant where a DHS boss was dinning.. didn't raise any alarm?

Secret service agent just allowed a masked man to walk around a restaurant??

Neither the name nor the picture of the thief have been released..

The whole thing is starting to look staged. So an illegal immigrant just happened to snatch the purse of the boss of homeland security. Smells like BS
I say the same thing too.. the math is not mathing at all..

A masked man walked past 2 secret service agents on his way to steal a purse of a DHS boss?

Name of the suspect? Not released, picture , not released ..

How can a masked man just walk in a high end restaurant, go past her security detail to steal her purse??

huh I have seen a woman who refused CS just because her pastor told her she was going to deliver like the Hebrew women….

Her baby died in her womb … her baby was already decaying in her womb…. The baby’s dead body was brought out parts by parts …

The husband almost died from begging his wife to accept CS
I understand patients right but I think there's instances where a doctor can override that..

I hope it was done with good intentions but I don't think I would encourage that..

Why, because it could create a bit of tension between the newly wed.. especially if the ex was finer and had more going on for her than the new wife... or for a guy, if the ex is doing well.. the married odogwu might be calculating okafors law in his head , trying to put to 2 and 2 together...

Thinking of doing something like this, but I don't know if this will help in Lagos. Landlords most times are working with the agents to rip off accommodation seekers.
Good idea. But, I don't think that would work well like it does in the west.

The story no balance, the article says he is a naturalized U.S citizen and lied under oath to obtain the citizenship..

Then towards the end of the article it says he falsified documents to obtain his students visa to study in 2023??

Hello guys, please advise me.

Below picture is the survey plan of a land I have had for a while now, but want to start something on it now. I will be meeting with an architect and engineer next week, but I am now thinking of what I want to achieve so I have come up with this very rough sketch on the plan.

The land currently has a foundation on it which is the red coloured box in the picture. I bought the place with the foundation on it and I don't even have the plan of the foundation, so i will re-work it. My plan is to build a 1 storey building comprising of 2 units of 2 bedroom flats downstairs and 2 units of 2 bedroom flats upstairs. The blue coloured box is the area I envision the building to occupy.

The black coloured box is where the gate into the compound will be and the grey coloured box will be the parking space for about 3 cars. The green coloured box will contain at least 2 shops and the pink coloured box will be a garden where madam will plant crops with the kids - that has always been my dream. Finally, the yellow coloured box is where the soakaway will be.

Please, what do you guys think of this plan? Notice that the planned house and soakaway will cross into the area where the old foundation currently is. Will it be easy or even a good idea to re-construct the foundation to my plan and also turn the remaining part of it into soakaway?

Also, is it a good idea to have the entrance into the compound on the part where the house is, just as I depicted in my plan?

Again, I love the idea of having a sliding gate instead of the traditional 2-door gate. But the sliding gate will likely traverse or get too close to the area the shops could be. Any thoughts on how I can work around this?

Grateful for your responses
Wehdone ooo..

Well, I am neither an engineer nor an architect..

But one thing I would say is, to make sure your dreams/vision on the project, like you have explained here is captured in reality.

Do not let any old structure there stop you.. like you did mention the plot have a previous foundation, uproot/abandon the old foundation and make sure your vision is captured in reality.

Keep in mind, foundation is the most important aspect of a building project..

The existing foundation, you might not know how diligent the engineers and artisans were in delivering it and what type of building they had in mind..it could be different from the type of structure you want making the foundation not usable to you.

(For me, I wouldn't even recommend building on a existing foundation if I just purchased a plot, because I want to be sure, building is not cheap.. and I can't invest all the money on a foundation that is "unknown " . I don't want to always sleep with one eye open after the hustle , the expenses and the stress to build).

But most importantly, you want to build a house that captures your vision... a home.

A place you would walk inside and go.. yep, that's right.. this is home. From the compound to the interior settings of the house.

I have seen with my two naked eyes people that built their houses and abandoned it.. had to sell it because they were mesmerized by the 3D the architect sent them and not focusing more on the interiors.. the room placement.. hallways.. etc making sure the house would work for them.. that the house captured their vision.

I have always been an advocate of designing building from the inside... I am not overly wowed by the exterior of the building and their 3D.

The reason , you might wonder? Because I will live inside the house and not the outside.. I want to make sure the settings, rooms, hallway.. intended use of the interiors, matches my vision of the place.

Cheers!!

InEOS are to blame for Manutd's problems..
First, I understand ETH had to go, yes but they should have allowed Nistelroy ro finish the season and Amorim to take over next season.

My reason is, ETH plays a totally different style of football than Amorim.. and Nistelroy understands ETH and plays similar style.. moreover, the player ETH signed in the summer were the players that would fit his style..

Second reason why INeos is to blame.. all this cuts, cuts cuts, cut staffs lunch etc.. it's seems like the guy doesn't have money to run a football club, he should have allowed the Saudi's to buy the club..

See how mancity got turned around, Girona in spain.. when there's money and perks.. employees are happy, morales are high and that reflects on their performance..

Kudos to EFCC..

I hope they are truly dedicated to this investigation and bring the culprits to books.. and not "audio" investigation just to look good online.

Just to clear the air, I did not buy into the CBEX scheme.

However, the victims are our fellow Nigerians. Have they been gullible? Perhaps, but that still doesn't negate the fact that they are still Nigerians, we don't only be our brothers keeper when they become celebrities, when they are out of line, they are still one of us.

Remember Bernie Maddoff? The US government was on his case, seized his assets and many of his victims got their money back while Maddoff got 150 years prison sentence.

The government have an obligation to her citizens, I wonder why the government allowed the company or any other ponzi operate without proper vetting and oversight ... Chinmark, Ovaioza, MMM plus many others...

Popular Nigerian disc jockey and philanthropist, DJ Cuppy, has sparked reactions online after sharing a heartfelt reflection about materialism and her changing perspective on luxury. In a candid social media post, Cuppy expressed regret over owning an overwhelming number of designer shoes, admitting that her past obsession with material things now feels "insane." shocked

"This is just my London collection," she revealed, showing off a vast array of high-end footwear. "I still have more shoes in Lagos and Dubai… it’s crazy. But guess what? All this doesn’t matter in Heaven, and you can’t carry them to your grave." shocked

The billionaire heiress went on to say that she no longer values these possessions as she once did. "I’m not materialistic like I used to be. The amount of shoes or material things you have doesn’t make you a better person."

Hello Guys,

I'm throwing this question to you because it's very important. Every time I ask, "how is Nairaland?" I'm told that it is fine. If I ask what are the challenges I'm told there are none.

So I need to talk to you guys directly about what you think is going on and what you want us to do. I have not had the confidence to make major changes on Nairaland. I have a little confidence now because of AI.

What are your complaints, your challenges, your issues. What are the things that can drive people away and need to be nipped?

Speak your mind, but don't be rude. Thanks.
I have always wondered why someone needs to agree to a statement inorder to comment to a Muslim post , but that statement doesn't show up on any Christian post??

You would think our Nigerian police would do this basic , common sense thingshuh

Sometimes i wonder, what's the need for all this BVN, NIMC stuffs??

A kidnapper will kidnapper someone and collect money via bank transfer and use a cell phone to contact their victims relatives yet.. they can't ve tracked down..

Someone said on a different post that the bandits have TikTok account and regularly post videos? I wonder why the military can't track them down with ease..
