There’s difference between assembling and made . That’s why people say innonson doesn’t manufacture cars but only buy spare parts from abroad and assemble them in Nigeria .


Designed by apple in California ,assembled in China - that’s what’s written on the back of my iPhone and not made in China .

Na huawei ,techno and the rest you fit see made in China
And Huawei is currently the No 2 smartphone worldwide just a little bit behind Samsung.

And Huawei is a Chinese product.

Again, if you have visited China yourself and other countries in the west then you see for yourself and understand better.

the fact that iPhone is manufactured in China doesn't mean the engineering and science behind iPhone is in China....foxconn is the manufacturer of iPhone and it's a Taiwanese company.china doesn't contribute to development of iPhones

the knock-off is equivalent to piracy and infringement of intellectual property,which kills creativity and innovation... Infringement of intellectual property is a big offence In western world,which is the major reason while western countries are more innovative and advanced than developing nations.


FYI,your second point totally killed all Ur points..u unknowingly reminded us why china is lagging behind in tech advancement
What are you talking about huh

For starters, Taiwan is not independent from China.

iPhone is manufactured in China just like most electronics. Again, China have a relaxed piracy laws that's one of the reasons people flock their to manufacture knockoffs because Chinese government will look the other way.

If you have been to China plus some other western countries you will understand better.

Considering the population of China , China is very technologically advanced than most western countries.

Catering for the technological needs of 1billion plus people is much harder than catering for 80 million people (which is average population of a country in west). Yet they are in front of the line in technological advancements.

lol lol

have u asked yourself why china is spying on Korea and Japanese tech companies... especially Samsung?

even ,Taiwan Korea and Japan are far ahead of China..china knows that...have u asked urself why Chinese tech are inferior to those of her eastern neighbors?. ...... research and development is the main reason
Just to let you know.

Chinese tech are not primarily inferior. Matter of fact they are one of the best out there.. iPhones are made in China, check the back of your "quality " electronic gadgets, they are mostly made in China.

The difference is, China have somewhat a relaxed piracy laws that's why most people go there to manufacture knockoffs. Chinese government for the most part look the other way. In comparison to UK, U.S , Canada etc. Government will be cracking down on those companies manufacturing knockoffs and the original company will sue the crap out them.

But in China, knockoff manufacturers thrive. But they have genuinely quality products.

In building plan designs, what does cross-ventilation mean?

I thought I knew what it was , then spoke with two different " Architects " and they gave me 2 different explanations.

They got me so confused that I have even forgotten what I previously knew about it.

The only problem is that we don't have 9" solid blocks.
I am no engineer but if introducing 9'inch solid block will not affect the structural integrity of the building.

Then, wouldnt this be a case of constructing a moulding pan for 9' inch solid ?

Nigeria did not start to exist in 1960. There has been a Nigeria since 1914 when amalgation of Southern and Northern Protectorates took place.
Nigeria became an independent country in 1960.
PoliticsRe: Kazeem Tanimu Replies APC About Atiku’s Citizenship Claims, Calls Them Lairs by Badgers14: 6:32pm On Apr 15, 2019
Something to ponder!

If Atiku is being accused of not being a Nigerian because he was allegedly born in a place that was under Cameron at the time but now Nigeria.

If so, is our parents or those of us born before 1960 independence when Nigeria is still under British Rule have a claim to British Citizenshiphuh

PoliticsRe: Jada Atiku's Birth Place Was Part Of Northern Cameroon- Premium Times Fact Check by Badgers14: 8:32am On Apr 15, 2019
Here is the big question. If Atiku is been pushed around because he was "allegedly" born in a place that was Cameroon at the time but now Nigeria.

Does it mean that our parents that were born in Nigeria before 1960 when Nigeria is under British colony are British Citizenshuh

yes sir I fully understand what you saying..... I intend to start with 100 naira as that is the universally accepted amount for live matches anywhere in naija, but I'm starting the nation s cup free of charge to make an impression..... I have no idea of the dstv rates and other unseen expenses, also I know a bros who owns a viewing center and he is never smiling, always angry over one or two things, maybe it's not very lucrative etc.... I just want to know before I jump, what to expect etc.....
Have you reasoned with your bro to know why he is not smiling?

Every business has its own challenges , the main issue is how you handle them. Business is all about decision decision and more decisions.

So reason with your friend and see what the challenges are and the reasons why he gets angry and learn from his strength and weakness.

Good luck!!!

Yes, it's acceptable.

You know there are many types of wall but want to talk about this two.

1. Load-bearing wall.
2. Partition wall.
Load-bearing wall is a structural element which transfers load from other part of the building to the foundation.

While partitioning wall demarcate or seperate space. you can always use 5 or 6" for this purpose

However, I advise you use 9" block for all external walls , and some internal wall aswell as stairwell because of the column sizes and mechanical pipings( plumbing).

Note: 1. It's not advisable to resize column designed by a professional architect as that may cause structural defect or a total collapse.
2. Its better to implement structures as the architect and the structural engineer has designed it. It's of essence to carry the designers alone if there's need for changes.

Thanks a lot.
Very detailed response. Abeg Take one beer for my head !!


Thanks a lot my Oga.

That's very correct.
Thanks for the confirmation. Really appreciate.


Another question, what if 5 inches was used to demarcate the walls of the bathrooms and the thin wall of the kitchen storage but 9 inches was used in all other places. Would that be plausible?
