There is something we call FREEDOM
The freedom you don't get in your own country where you are suppose to practice your religion freely and you expect to get that same freedom from else by imposing your culture to others in a foreign land....
How does that reason out....

I can see the ad hominem in your quote.
When you know you can't counter my point your resort to insult and bring in unrelated issues.

The point here is, hand shake.
Is it permissible for a Muslim to shake hands with the opposite gender?
No.

So what's the fuss all about?
OK I get it.
Tolerance is when I do what you like not what I believe is good for me even when it does not harm you in anyway.
You are a bigger hypocrite to begin with.
Nice.
As regards the bold, can you point to where its written in your Koran or any religious books or who and from where that practice came from?

Going through this thread, one will just be hearing budget 35m, 20m, 15m. I kept wondering if it was this eas, then men like us wont be able to achieve anything with this huge sum of money.
I decided to start my project(3bedroom duplex and 2units of 2bedroom flat) this year with the little experience I got reading from page 1 to page 1000 and the help of a good bricklayer. And I can categorically say am at the decking stage and have spent less than 7m.
Nice one and good.
But it would be nice if you can put up pix of the building or probably just the design plan.
Thanks.

If one listen to all this gurus on nairaland ehn, one cant achieve anything in life. Just start building ur house with someone you can trust and go step by step. Dont entrust your money to anyone on nairaland
Building a 3bedroom duplex and 2units of 2bedroom flat on a half plot of land and have not been spent much
Just do ur do by urself
The platform is as a guide. Every interested home owner should do the filtering of information if the individual intends building.The most important aspect in building, is building right even with economical means.

I'll advice every intending home owner to first get a design plan before requesting to know how much to build. The plan serves as a guide to put up a workable quotation.

If most persons seeking information from the thread are able to read from page 1 till present, then they will be satisfied. I do not think there's hardly any topic regarding building that's not been asked and responded to.

I believe the purpose of this thread is to encourage home owners do the managing of site and supervision by themselves. That is not to say, a home owner should not have the services of a professional/experienced person on-off site.

Big Bros in the House, I will be glad for moderate design hints on a plot of land with family and tenant sections.
It's numerous.....
** You can do a 4 bedroom duplex on half plot and single storey 2 bedroom on the other half.
** You can do the above all attached as single unit but the 2 bedroom is only ground floor.
** You can do a duplex on half plot and do a 2 bedroom+ Self Contain on the other plot(ground floor or single storey).
** You can do a twin 2 bedroom on the ground floor and use the entire up floor for your self. It can be reversed.

The variations are much and depends on what precisely you want and it can be tailored to your desire.

The need for reorientation is one thing I wave aside and I always think 'shouldn't people know these things? ' The force needs a mental overhaul. Their salaries, benefits and walfare packages needs overhaul, else they will continue these misconduct. For those that have had experience similar to this harassment, you'd hate the police. A armed robber could even treat you better than a cop.
Even if they increase the salary of the lowest rank in the force to #200,000, that mentality will not change. It's just psychological and so it is in majority of Nigerians. Once that mindset is there it will be hard to change.

Wallade:
Unfortunately, that is the challenge with law. The legal and learned persons interpret and misconstrue the laws to suit their clients or do their bidding sometimes especially where the law is vague, unspecific and not explicit.

The major challenge that the President has in this case is the fact that his filing of documents and filling of form has a caveat in form of an attestation which is also tantamount to an affidavit which he signed on the form.

Hence, any information or document provided by him that is proven to be false, incorrect or misleading can be used in the court of law against him.
Well, we are all waiting for the legal persons to show us the falsehood in his documents or whatever forms he must have filed. That will not be difficult to establish by them but we can't do that on social media because of the information floating over the internet.

How is he above the law when the constitution does not demand him or anyone to have or produce a certificate to be eligible into elective office.

Some of you blindly follow beer parlour and PDP concocted lies and propaganda as gospel truth without cross checking or reasoning - simply because such lies are repeated over and over again through the (mainly PDP dominated) media.

Attached is what the constitution says; in fact the last paragraph of the said provision, more less left the whole matter at the discretion of INEC.

Atiku doesn't have a case in hell to over turn Buhari's election victory; his lawyers are just deceiving him and feeding fat on his dubiously acquired wealth - 1st they sold him a dummy on the 'phantom' INEC server; then now on the issue of certificate, where any idiot can easily decipher that Buhari is even over qualified for the presidency in accordance with the requirement of the law.
They all know it as its written in black and white with rank xerox ink.
They have refused to see reason because of their hatred for PMB.
They just want to sing a song of PMB not having a waec certificate.

But just how does one prove that he's educated?
Possession of a certificate is the only way I know to produce that one has received education up to a certain level at least formally which is what's required here.

That you can speak and write good English, were seen in a school compound with uniform and mingling with other students/pupils aren't enough.

It's even shameful that a president of a 21st Century country doesn't and is proud to admit he doesn't have a certificate.

Even more shameful are the host of SANs defending him.
...sentiments apart, certificate is not sure proof of one having attended school and seek education,
..in most instances one needs the testimonies of fellow colleagues to prove that.
....most persons attended school but left along the line.


The case against PMB was to make him provide his certificate by any means.
But based on the constitution and INEC laws, for such office, one has to prove that he has received formal education to a certain level.

Technically and non, this case against PMB is a waste of time and money by the opposition. The same man Atiku aided to become president knowing fully well he does not possess a certificate and he is in turn wants to remove same person!,!!!!!

I don't see how it plays out in his favour by any means.

Last year i designed and handled the construction of a simple low cost 5bedroom duplex 5.4 x 22m with an estimated budget of N18m.

I can tell you, we didnt finish the said project.Reason is N18m wasnt enough to finish the duplex.
The carcass cost us N11m.

one thing about Nigerian clients, they would say they want simple low cost building, but they would want quality interior finishing.As we all know, quality is not cheap.
If you do an estimate and give to your client(s) based on what he wants as regards "low costing" and the client changes his mind in the process of construction for an upgrade/uplift of appearance, then that's not your fault.
But if you mistakenly do an under-quote without considering certain factors, well the blame is yours.

If there are changes from client based on the carcass which is not on the design plan,the client pays for the extra.
As regards quality interior finishing. If you have shown and agreed on samples which are based on its price and you use that tag, then if the client opts for another superior then the client knows what to do.

It's good when one has another opinion, ensure you put up your figure for others to see.
Don't disagree and leave your statement blank. It should be easy to put up a quote by you.

Some years ago on this thread a professional built his own house with an amount that was disagreeable to others but was accomplished. It was an eye opener for others.
Another accepted and travelled to the southern region with a quoted figure to build as well even with critics here, but only for some unforseen on site, the variation still was within a range others would never have believed.


Some months back, while we were arguing about quoted figure for plastering and septic tank construction. One Oga was like shouting thief on high quotes on the thread, while one artisan was ready to run a plastering at a very large discount.
A Madam here even owned up to the amount in price for the same plastering job, based on if the work is done by a contractor or the owner does the procurement and supervision himself.


So like I said, which is subject to his location, availability of labour, etc,etc,etc.....
15M should give him a building worthy of being called a home based on his initial inquiry statement.

Christianity EtcRe: Pastor Adeboye: Taking Holy Communion In The Morning Is Wrong, At Night Is Good by bixton(m): 5:10pm On Aug 18, 2019
festacman:
There is a little mix up here. The Passover meal that started on the eve of Exodus from Egypt and continued in the Promised land took place in the evening. Passover meal is about the deliverance of children of Isreal from slavery through to freedom in the land of Canaan as God promised Abraham.

On the other hand, the Christian Holy Communion was instituted by Jesus Christ himself during his last Passover meal with his Apostles prior to his arrest, trial and crucifixion.

Significantly, the BLOOD of everlasting covenant we drink at Holy Communion was shed by Jesus during the day on cross. In the same manner, the BODY of Christ we eat was sacrificed on the same cross during the broad day light. Unlike Passover meal, Holy Communion signifies deliverance from power of sin through Christ as promised by God through the words of His prophets.

However the LEGALISTIC emphasis on timing of Holy Communion is simply unnecessary. It sounds like Pharisees' legalistic observance of Sabbath, which Jesus condemned. The truth is that the ACT of taking of Communion and TIME it is taken are very much INFERIOR to the FRUITS the act is meant to produce: uncompromising love for God and sincere show of love (care, forgiveness, compassion, etc) for fellow human beings.
Nice points you have raised.
The Bible is quite clear of what the Passover is both from the OT as commanded by God through Prophet Moses and as directed by Christ Jesus in the NT to the disciples /apostles and the early church.
In the OT, the Passover is a festival to be celebrated amongst other festivals basically once a year as a reminder to how the Jews left Egypt.
In the NT, Christ Jesus observed same Passover in same manner but added that "it should be done as often in remembrance of His death till He comes again.

If Pastor Adeboye is the one who spoke those words as to the timing of it, then one truly needs to know in which context he means it and what is the symbolism of the timing and its relevance.
It is a law to be kept and if the timing is a symbolism of great concern to anyone then it should be noted that there are other aspects of it to be followed.
There are various churches, different doctrines and numerous interpretation.
I do not know how many do the act of feet washing on the occasion of the passover......
The feet washing is done by brethens amongst one another as the G.O/pastor of any church/gathering would have done for some and it will be replicated by others. ......
I do not know how many take unleavened bread and wine..........
In the OT, it was done in the temple and other ordained places as chosen and instructed by God.
In the NT Christ Jesus chose to do it in someone's house, He has already foreseen and instructed His disciples to as who the person is....
The Passover usually holds once a year on a specific time in the OT and Christ Jesus observed same according to the Jewish calender till His death.
