The Nigerian media for weeks now have been diverting the attention of the public. From Regina this to Regina that and now is Tonto and her ex.



I strongly believe that there's something serious going on in this country and that the government is covering it up with some irrelevant news

MobilityExpress:
Forgotten by who? The kind of influence Asari has in Niger Delta, Nnamdi Kanu doesn't have half of it in the South East. Asari that boldly walks around freely, even Tompolo went into hiding and Kanu ran away hiding somewhere

gabbytabby:
Does that even make sence as it would not be in the same plot then with all this small plot sizes of today

gabbytabby:
I don't quite get your meaning what does the regulation say as to minimum between the 2.

Dubemcapital1:
We where able to get water at 27ft but wish to have a year round sustenance so we went deeper to 64 ft.


From the rate the well is recharging we are very sure of 12,000 litres every week with such result we can now introduce submersible pump.

bobkezel:
You need not worry, before the sewage from a soakaway gets to ground water level from where the borehole water comes, it has to pass through a lot of strata ; permeable, semi permeable and non permeable. Before it finishes passing through this stages it gets naturally purified. That's the nature's way of purifying impure/ contaminated water that perlocates through the soil.
But then, the borehole should be sunk very deep, prevention is better than cure.
Also if the area is prone to flooding, that's when you should be more careful.

Dear House


Currently doing a soakaway about 12 feet from an existing borehole... What are things to take in consideration.. So that the two never mix

esegiftbebor:
Well, I'm not an engineer...
What should be done in this case....? I want to roof the house and another cost for decking is been raised! If I roof the bungalow without the kitchen decking, is it safe? Is kitchen decking a must to prevent fire? d other options are they more economical? As My original budget didn't carry decking...

GoodFaith:
Most house in Canada or USA doesn't have a sprinkler system -- New houses single family
Jesus
Go play bixton
single family houses ? NO
We did talk about sprinkler system here in the past
Use your head
Think cost
Think return on investment
think how it fit into environment
"I'm sure there are new building codes that specifies " BE SURE

Badgers14:
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.

GoodFaith:
Guess what? when you apply knowledge lot of time you are copies
We apply knowledge,
We copy knowledge, and technology
and we make some changes to knowledge, and technology to fit our environment
I had a job i just paid $5K, before the contractor did the work
I had to introduce my own change to address future problem, meaning thinking out of the box
Most house in Canada or USA doesn't have a sprinkler system

GoodFaith:
My point is people need to use their head
think smart
Do we have 24/7 electricity to manage a Sprinkler system?
we have to look at our environment and know what will work best
Not because their is a technology out there, that it must be used

GoodFaith:
Key word "economical limits." common sense
Value to return on investment
People just like to talk, talk
We mange risk , we can't prevent all risk
Kitchen fire, deck the kitchen, POP, steel doors,fire extinguisher.
We talking about bungalow not 10 floor building
Nonsense
Sprinkler system may fail
I guess he need Jesus

topsy23:
Installing Sprinkler might be expensive for a bungalow. Stand alone battery operated heat detector should be installed and also fire extinguisher.

esegiftbebor:
Hello,
Please, in building a bungalow, is it necessary to deck the kitchen with concrete and iron rods before roofing? If it is, was d benefits? Because this is additional cost for me and my mum and d engineer are insisting on it. Please I need advice to save cost

Iruosonobrugwhe:
hmmmn...i am in sifiya pains....i spent 561k for a 10*10*7 and 214k for 6*4*8 recently in Warri. Labour alone 200k minus digging. 50bags of cement. 640 6"blocks........40pcs of 12mm ....e don pass sha. We learn everyday

iammo:


Para mode. as if they didn't pad budget and suspended Abdumimin jibrin to cover up.

Dogara would raise his hands till it hurts and speaker gbajabiamila wont pick him to talk at the 9th assembly, if he misbehaves, he would be thrown out with a suspension.

Party Chiarman Oshiomole already told them to go and die as there wont be any juicy position for crooked PDP lawbreakers

deltateam:
What did he leave out? He's a yahoo boy?

You think there's no legimate way to hammer than Yahoo?
Dey there make pant wear you.

Marriage26:
Good day nairalander,

I am a popular jingo nairalander but got to hide under this moniker...


I have been dating my fiancee for the past 7 years, she had met my parents and I have met her's many times . We planned to get married earlier year. But it was the year my mother left this planet, I informed my family I wanted to get married but they declined, saying, it must be over years of mumsy's demise before I can marry.


We've fixed introduction days 3ice and it got cancelled by my father, what's his reason?


1. NYSC: I was posted to serve in the Northern part of the country 3 years ago, I went to camp, but I couldn't cope with the weather and couldn't leave my business as NYSC won't guarantee me job and I don't have other option. I absconded from the service and faced my business which I saved profits in 7 digits in same year, God made me comfortable.

2: He said I should rather impregnate the girl (backdoor talk)



I am close to my late 20s, he already banned all family members as many depend on him from attending my introduction.

He cancelled my introduction without fixing a new date.

My in-law trust me and ready to release the lady to me as I haven't had sex with her since 2012 that we've been dating...


And Also, God had supplied all I needed for my wedding from A-Z.



Do you think this is a cogent reason?. I want to ahead with my wedding plans...


Kindly advise....Thanks

It is called De Novo mutation.
This is a condition in which the child acquired features either phenotypically or genetically otherwise not present in both parents.

De Novo mutation can lead to anything

I went to King's college Lagos and I am in 600lvl medicine and surgery UNN.

If you want me to educate you how it is possible, I will.
It is rare but not impossible

GeorgeTheCoder:
I don't know if you have sense.
He said that Buhari should swear according to the dictates of his religion and you say he is frustrated. What is frustration there ?You see the truth and you deny it for lies. That is why you are in poverty despite your school certificate and the only way out for you is farming

diordaves:
From your post, I can say I don't have the full information, but I can say that the collapse is despite the columns and not as a result of the columns. Columns and beams don't collapse structures.

It may be the soakaway design is not suitable for the soil condition or the design was poorly executed in some if not all aspect of the design. The soil may be more challenging for this type of traditional design.

Columns and beams when properly introduced with the right span make a safe structure.

GoodFaith:
This is new project or same ?
If new
Was the price different?

GoodFaith:
What was the cost?

bobkezel:
The blocks are not hollow blocks, they are 6" blocks.

diordaves:
Omo, I beg to differ with most of your recommendations regarding this enquiry.

One: All soakaway/septic system should have columns - this is best engineering practice. When people come to you for advice, always recommend and encourage best practice. Soakaway without columns is cutting corners - Period.

For the poster to come here with that post, it may be true that someone on ground with knowledge of the soil condition may have recommended introduction of columns and beam which is a superior advice. But here you are I guess with no knowledge of the soil condition encouraging an inferior solution.

Two: After 5/6 courses, all round beam (chaining) should be introduced to prevent unintended collapse - best recommended civil engineering practice. After the next 5/6 courses, beam again and then deck.

Death from soakaway collapse in Nigeria is an unreported world. This is preventable death by spending just a fraction more to recommended best practice in health and safety.

Imagine Nigeria with poor quality blocks that will be constantly wet and soaked as a septic tank and then you construct such soakaway without columns and beam. - to me it's an accident waiting to happen especially during the raining season over time.

So building a safe soakaway is not a matter of choice like you posit. It's a conscious deliberate decision.

bobkezel:
But is there any implication to this?
