Nigeria did not start to exist in 1960. There has been a Nigeria since 1914 when amalgation of Southern and Northern Protectorates took place.

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.....

There's a thin line between creativity and foolishness. Unfortunately this falls under the latter

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.

Dubemcapital1:
That's very correct.

9"

At least for the foundation, first floor, and second floor block walls. 6 or 5" blocks are not so much recommended for story buildings because it defines the size of your columns and beams. For a two decking house, please use 9" blocks.

An exception to this rule is if you have a competent professional from the planning stages of the building, who would have calculated the loads of the house and distributed the weight in such a way that the structure is planned to be built with 6" or 5" blocks.

But by the standard of this election those votes from the south east is very appealing to you? How wish Atiku is not from North East I wonder how he managed to gather that amount of votes. Am surprised for real who come?

In the Nigerian context, the installation cost would be prohibitive for domestic use and recurrent maintenance cost and expertise would be afurther problem.

The main reason central air-conditioning system is not prevalent in Nigeria is the air duct system (see photos) and the way we build in Nigeria. In the USA, ceiling decking system is all wood so the air duct, water piping and electrical wiring can be passed through the void and space of the wood frames.

But in Nigeria we deck with concrete, so for a duplex how would you install the air duct system if not to think out some other ways to pass the duct through the concrete which could be very costly or unsightly.

Again the poor state of power supply is another problem. You will need a heavy duty generating set to power a central A/C which most homes seldom use. Most homes for cost cutting reasons use 1KVA GenSets which can power a single unit A/C.
