Is this vehicle still available? If yes, how much?

Does it have DVD entertainment system?

Is the vehicle still available?

If so, what is your asking price?

Does it have rear seat DVD entertainment system?

Where is the DVD player located in this vehicle? In the dashboard? Or on the roof?

Please forward the tinted glass police publication to ezeagu@gmail.com

We carry out Surface treatment.How? Having through with d filling. enough water is being pour to let d fiiling settle. Thereafter, d thick polythene nylon in being spread all over d floor(this is neccessary to prevent moisture into d building) and blinding on top of nylon. (this is neccessary because iron must not touch d nylon). And finally, we placed iron to receive concrete with d ratio 1;2;4[/quote]Segcy,

This surface treatment is done before the German floor?

These people are not really Nigerian, more like they are of Nigerian ancestry/origin.

Word!

PrettyCindy: When the child grows to 18yrs, by then his mother would have told him the story about his birth; do u truely think he would look for a man who wanted him dead?

Yes.

lawyer: @Blank

Am forever grateful to you for pointing theses errant posters out. As for 4EvaGod he/she is a serial spammer and has been warned over and over again to desist from it but wont stop, i guess i would take a stricter stand on the above poster.

Look at the last warnings:



Its really sad and they will come out to say am wicked or being partial

Lawyer,

Did you consider my suggestion for splitting the Properties Section into two sub-sections - one for property sales/letting threads and another for building construction threads? This would make the Properties Section more user-friendly. The sales/lettings threads are far too many and very distracting. Cheers!

queensmith: Last time i checked, major crimes were not commited within families.[i][/i] And can you vouch for what every single one of your family member is doing at every point in time? For all one knows thier whole family can be made of criminals. I dont see why it should affect the op. He is not the father?

Its a trivial matter for one to grow hypertension about.

You don't live in Nigeria obviously else you'd know that most armed robberies and kidnappings are done with inside info from relatives or employees. A weed smoking in-law who hangs out with local thugs is a likely informant for robbers and kidnappers.

But why are the Eko carnival revellers dressed like Brazilian or Caribbean carnival dancers? Why not celebrate Yoruba/Lagos culture? Why imitate foreign carnivals?

27naira: There are so many ways you can keep her brother away from your family.

Not in Africa


BTW have you ever seen where EFCC raided a man cos the wife's brother was sending 419 messages from his house?

Or where a man was beaten up by frustrated would-be tenants cos the wife's brother duped them using the man's uncompleted building?

I have seen both.

A friend of mine is in that agony presently. He discovered the hard way only after the wedding that his wife's senior brothers, who are supposedly lawyers, are actually 419ers and that the wife (she's a banker) helps her brothers to receive and launder the money.

kopell: I just paid for my last week friday@ old rate

Thank you, my brother, the info is much appreciated!

@ Segcy - the raft foundation that you are doing for this building - is that a 3- or 4-board raft?

[quote author=segcy.moor]DAY 13; we completed the reinforcement work. and establised the column.....intend to cast d following day[/quote]

Does any one know the official LASG charges or fees for approval of survey plan of a standard plot of land at Lekki - Eti Osa LGA?

Can any surveyor in the house please give an idea of the cost of doing survey for a standard plot of land at Lekki?

@ Segcy - the raft foundation for the fence - is that a 3- or 4-board raft?

@ Gobi - I was recently given a quotation of N1.3m for 3-board raft for the fencing of a standard plot (60ft x 120ft) with sandy soil at Lekki.

Spyder/Ckenneths

Do you do renovations as well - or only constructing new buildings? I'm planning to renovate/upgrade our village house in Anambra.

Am alone,

That long ugly NEPA cable detracts from the front view of your house. Is there no way to run it to the back of the house?

Lastpage,

Good job, bro! I think you can take a break now - its pointless attempting having the last word in a discussion or argument with Nigerian women

The Ogo/Kevin saga reminds of the Ambassador Wigwe alleged wife-battering episode. In both cases, many rushed to judgement without hearing from the other side.

Am Alone,

Great job, man! Where did you get the kitchen fittings? Did you buy locally or import from China?

I suggested in another thread that the way out is that the moderators should split the Properties Section into two sub-sections - one for property sales/letting threads and another for building construction threads e.g. those by spyder, oluwa champion, ytechconstruct and others.

The sales/lettings threads are far too many and very distracting for those of us interested in the building/construction threads.

Am Alone, any more update?

[quote author=Busy_body]How about you removing the speck of dust in your eyes from that "nugget", so you can see the giant "boulder" of a gem I am hurtling your way. Thank me later


Forget 2/3 years, what is the guarantee that this action on the part of the inlaws would guarantee the marriage would last a year, and happily too?

Asides from this, this desperado of a girl is not doing herself any favour, they already know she has a feckless philadering Dad, and now the whole world gets to see her Mother as the devil's spawn with no moral compass polluting our beloved upright Nigeria with 4 bastards!

Hang on, it takes two (well it used to) to make a baby, so why is only the woman(Mother) being "ridiculed and punished for this!!! Backward culture, retrogressive Country.[/quote]You, I and the whole wide world can only speculate whether the marriage will be happy or will last or otherwise. But what I do know for near-certain is that that if the mother does not place the interests of her daughter and future grand-children first, she is literally condemning her own daughter to a married life of wahala and katakata with her in-laws (especially the MIL/SILs) unless her husband is willing and able to defend and insulate her from his family members.

You are entitled to whatever views you like about Igbo or Nigerian culture. The young man's family are simply seeking to ensure that there are absolutely no questions about the legitimacy of the children that their son will father by a woman whose legitimacy is already questionable and which may be further questioned if the wedding ceremony takes place at her mother's place. I think they have every right to do so. The young lady (quite sensibly) wants to avoid the stigma of an unwed concubine that her mother has borne all these years; do you know if the girl was traumatized in childhood by school playground taunts about her illegitimacy? She may have been disrespectful to her mother but the mother also needs to see whether her daughter is coming from.

dayokanu: Ppl come to share problems online.

Do you think ppl would open thread like "I have been having mindblowing sex for 10yrs", "My husband helps with house chores" or My husband is a perfect dad"?

Rather the stories that would need advice would be My husband has been starving me of sex, My husband doesnt help with chores and My husband is an irresponsible man.

Exactly! Dog bites man is no news...

Segcy,

If you don't mind my asking, what is the budget for this project? Just asking cos I'm hoping to embark on a similar project (by God's grace) and want to have a realistic idea how much I need to accomplish it.

Also, are you an architect or building engineer?

Thanks!

Attention Lawyer and other moderators,

Can I make a suggestion that you consider splitting the Properties Section into two sub-sections - one for property sales/letting threads and another for building construction threads e.g. those by spyder, oluwa champion, ytechconstruct and others. The sales/lettings threads are far too many and very distracting for those of us interested in the building/construction threads. It would be neater to separate them. To get to a building/construction thread, one has to wade through hundreds of sales/lettings threads. Please consider my humble suggestion.

rokiatu: I am pretty sure there are many people out there and even on Nairaland in happy marriages. But we are less likely to see threads from peeps like that. I mean what will they start a thread on? "I had a blast with husband last week" or "my God I am having so much fun in my marriage or "Sex was so great last nigt" LOL

So we are bond to see threads from those who are actually in need of advice, people having trouble/issues.

Well said, brilliant observations.

Nairaland family section is like a coffin-maker or undertaker business. If fewer people die, its bad for business

And a last nugget for some ladies with boiling blood etc

Mark my words - you women are often your own worst enemies. If this girl takes your advice and insists on the traditional marriage taking place at the mother's place, I can guarantee you my last dime that it will be the young husband's female relatives (not even the males) who will rise up 2-3 years from now to insult and humiliate the wife that she was not properly married according to Igbo customary law because the ceremony took place at her mother's place and therefore her own kids are illegitimate just as she was born an illegitimate child.

uche13: Thank you everyone jare.
I am giving any bit of advice to someone so strong headed. Can you just imagine, i was able to get the whole story and it down right disgusts me.

Firstly, this girl is the first and prior to her parents having issues, she was very close to her dad. When her dad abandoned them, she woke up one day and said she was going to look for her dad. She was abt 14 then. She was successful in her bid and against our advice moved in with his family. She know last there one month sef before running to her mum and complaining of her step mum maltreating her.

Now seven years later, she is acting so silly. What transpired is that after her fiancee told her that his people said it is an abomination to do the wedding in her mum's place, she told her mum and called her dad secretly. The mum got a call one day after 7 yrs from her "husband". After series of exchange of hate mails between the two of them, the girl quarreled with the mum and had the guts to tell her that she wants her to go through what she the mum went through.

To cut the story short, she(daughter) deleted her father's name from the mum's phone, told him her mum is being difficult, went ahead and presented the traditional wedding list to the father without even showing the mum and has now moved out of the house.

very sillly and immature daughter. May God help divorced or separated mothers who against all odds struggle to raise their kids.

@MBJ,
All i said was that i advise women who are separated from their spouse not to be too proud to collect funds from their husband if he offers to render any help to the kids. My reason is that the kids in the future are likely to forgive their dad and then he begins to reap where he did not sow.

Uche,

Life is not fair most times. I have an aunt who went through a similar situation of abandonment by her husband - though she was legally married. But at the end, she had to put the daughter's interest first and give way on the daughter's traditional wedding at the dad's compound. If your aunt is an Igbo woman and she knows the customary law concerning marriage as a well-brought up Igbo woman should, then she knows what is expected and what to do. She should put aside her pain and hurt over the maltreatment by her kids' father and think of what is best for her daughter.Its painful indeed and very unfair but this is the harsh reality of the Igbo culture when it comes to marriage ceremony.
