Your so called husband is lazy and if i were you i would dump him fast. A real man will get his hand on anything he can do instead of seating at home watching crap tv and waiting for director jobs to drop on his lap - You are both jokers

dumb and dumber

Hi

Any ideas on laptop/pc hardware requirements to install SAP ECC 6

cheers

Well Done - Mr Jarus.

@Onlytruth

You are spot on the imprisonment of a corrupt presiding officer - That might be part of the cleaning process.

Crooked Politicians only have one shared ideology " Looting" and it works best for all -

PapaBrowne:
Lovely expose! I like the down to earth rapport of the article. It is rare for politicians.
We need people like this in government.

Also we need to be real. From what Donald Duke has recounted, it is practically impossible for free and fair elections to hold in 2011. Even if Jonathan and Jega do their best to ensure a free and fair election, it would not work. Did you hear that there are 120,000 electoral officers?? How do you control that number of people. Lets hope for free and fair elections in 2015, 2011 is a not possible. To the best of my knowledge , most young Nigerians are not going to be voting.

I understand - but reading the article clearly identifies the solution - the more people who turn out to work the less mago mago but unfortunately we need to get credible candidates interested and then will have a large turn.

Loving this thread - A break from Igbo/Yoruba hatred - Just wish we could have more of this type of thread and make the Forum interesting.

Mr Paddy  - Hope You are not Irish  - More grease to your elbow


Love this thread. One day sha will make that bold step to relocate so one can be a part of this massive growth

This Chairman is wicked  - Promise fulfilled - maybe a sink hole swallowed the new road. 


You can see that Nigerian are now so conditioned to abnormalities in a more sane society the billboard would have pulled down fast.

^^^^

Fantastic Video - Nigeria sure has its potential but just imagine how much more we can achieve if the Electricity issue can be fixed. Vision 2020 will happen in less than 2 years.

Please share investment ideas anything apart form share trading - just to risky for me. I am always looking out something with a physical nature.

Credit to Julius Berger because of the numerous projects it has delivered in Nigeria but one must also say highlight the other  negative duties of company which includes over invoicing , a dubious front and it other numerous malpractices. Correct me if i am wrong but this Nigeria only company might have cost us more than we have benefited from it.   Every day is for the thief and surely a day for the owner.

Maybe or Maybe not - Nigeria has many monsters

makajibbz:
like say we no knoe before,
no be today!

slowpoke so what are you doing about  - i can see you are already conditioned to evil what a shame  - People like you with the same mindset is the reason why the rot will continue and the only solution will be to terminate your kind so we can move the great country forward.

Johnson said it was regrettable that the road collapsed, adding that mild traffic jam should still be expected pending the completion of works on the road. Special Adviser to the Governor on Transportation, Mr. Kayode Opeifa said LASTMA officials were fully on ground to direct traffic on the route, saying that he could not tell how long traffic would last on the route.
Johnson said what happened was a natural disaster beyond government’s control, saying that flood should be held responsible for the collapse of the road.
“There was a heavy rain on Saturday, 20 June 2010 which caused flooding in Iba. The flood resulted in failure of a culvert across LASU-Iba Road, near Agboroko.
“A team of engineers visited the site to assess the situation and determine the reasons responsible for the failure,” her added.
According to him, it was observed that the pavement on one side of the carriageway had collapsed forcing motorists to share the other carriageway initially resulting in heavy traffic bottleneck.
“The distressed carriageway is the new pavement added to the original carriageway’’, he said.
He stated that prior to this incident, a rapid development in the Agboroko and Igbo Elerin axis and construction of illegal structures across Aperan Iba and Agboroko channels had been observed, adding that “the result of this is the build up of water in the mainly low-lying areas.”
Johnson added that “the possibility of huge volume of water had been identified by engineers working on the project at this and some other locations on the road. Plans were already afoot to address the problem by construction of multi-cell culverts at the locations before this unfortunate incident

Is this a sink hole or Lack of proper drainage system ?

For God sake move your shit to the racism section - and stop derailing thread - The Topic here is Substandard road building by Area boys turned Civil engineers

bk/babe90:
Yes, I was trying to say: "Stop continuously showing me the ketchup stain I got 3 minutes ago  on my Versace t-shirt , while rocking a $5 shirt u got "ON SALE" from Marshalls and have been wearing for the last 3 summers!!!".

O ti ya we re - Please abeg you are a not a voice for the Yoruba people - Your hatred is on another level and you are totally consumed by it.

Mariory:
It appears this was the fault of the contractor. The the government stepped in anyways and is doing it's job. So there really is no reason for the Original poster and his merry gang to be blaming Fashola directly.

And some idiots are calling this a sink hole  - Sink hole ko singing lessons ni  - This is what you call incompetent and shoddy work

Big B1:
Great pictures, wonderful project and fantastic end result is also expected.
The project is real, I was there and was extremely impressed.

Bravo! Eko oni baje!


Just imagine seeing this type of project all over Nigeria? This is what IBB will bring when he's elected next year

I thought IBB don quit.

How to Build a Sand Clay Road

by Prof. M. Goode Homes, Department of Civil Engineering,
University of South Carolina

When a sand-clay road is built upon a clay sub-grade, proper drainage is one of the most essential things, for unless the sub-grade of the road is dry and firm the surfacing of sand-clay is sure to break through. Ordinarily side ditches, which must be large enough to carry off all of the water falling on the road, will be sufficient. These side ditches should be wide and shallow, rather than narrow and deep, as thus they will not be hard to keep open nor dangerous to travel. They should be from four to five feet wide and from one to one and a half feet deep, sloping three to one on the side next to the road and down to one on the outer side, and they should have outlets as frequently as possible to carry the water entirely away from the road. When the sub-grade is wet or damp most of the time, or is through swampy land, tile sub-drains should be laid in order to keep the foundation of the road dry and firm. It must be borne in mind that greater care must be exercised to keep the clay sub-grade dry and in the majority of cases of a sub-grade in sandy soil.

How much more a tared road

Sky Blue:
What do you understand by the phrase "most common"? Does that mean it can't happen in regions without high concentrations of limestone?

Look Mr Man i am not in denial that a sink hole cant happen in Nigeria but my point was based on the common substandard work called road projects in Nigeria. Analysing the posted picture of the road one can clearly see that it is was built on the wrong type of foundation.  The vast majority of road in Nigeria are built on this type of foundation without proper drainage system and the slightest chance of rain the road washes away.

pain me ke ? you must be smoking weed - i wont lose sleep over your crap.

For goodness sake it is not a sink hole and it is the Area boy turned Civil engineer cutting corners

Aloy_Emeka:
This is not only seen in Lagos but across Nigeria because our POLITICIANS/LEADERS take kickbacks thereby forcing contractors to invest only 5% of the amount billed for the project on it.

For those posting pictures of sinkholes in the West, did they even ask for the ages of those roads?. Must we measure all our failures with the we

st?. Can't we set the pace sometimes?. Looking at the one in Lagos, one can easily tell that they were  built with a substandard materials. The road is not thick enough to withstand common harmattan.

I don't like the idea of abusing Fashola tho but he should make sure he probes the project and hold the contractors accountable unless he has skeletons in his cupboard pertaining to the contract.

God bless you my brother - I just can stand some fools who come here to defend the indefensible it is so clear that the foundation was not right for a high usage road. For God sake what do u expect when you build on clay. I  have seen roads been built the latest one being the M25 in the u.k and i  can confirm that i saw concrete being poured in metal casing rods  and this was the foundation before tar was poured on top.  Using clay as foundation is so common in Nigeria and very cheap for a contractor trying to cut corners and any slight rain the road washes way.

tpiah:
blacksta for goodness sake stop this embarassing tirade.

a river bursting it's banks or flooding caused by heavy rains- isnt it still water involved?

if it is were a river that busted it banks then no problem but for Rain that you are expecting  dont u think a drainage system would  have prevented the unnecessary havoc  - it is  still shoddy work. which is common factor in Nigeria

Answer the question fool  - Is that part of Lagos a limestone area. This damage was not caused by A river bursting it banks it was caused RAIN for goodness sake or maybe they did not budget for drainage system  - bloody shoddy work.

What causes sinkholes?

A sinkhole is a large depression in the Earth's surface, often shaped[b] like a well or a funnel[/b], that can be up to several miles in diameter. Sinkholes are most common [size=15pt]in limestone regions.[/size] Underground layers of limestone can be dissolved by groundwater or by seepage from above-ground streams.

I have seen a number of sink holes they all look round - The lagos one is not round and is not in a limestone area it is simply substandard work

Liar liar  Sink hole ko  Singing lesson ni


make i go research sink hole and come back to deal with the topic.


This is simply shoddy work

Only God knows how much the contractor collected to build the road and now one rainfall the thing collapse - Why Why Why  - what happened to international best practices on road building.  I suspect the contract was given to an Area boy turned civil engineer with 2 tippers, 1 caterpillar and 100 labourers with shovel and rake.  

In the western world before  a road is constructed the foundation is strengthened with pure concrete and metal casing rods and definitely not with CLAY SOIL. I just hope Eko Atlantic is not built with this kind of foundation.

Ol boy Congrats - How many audi's do you want to me fix as down payment- so my Son can marry your daughter when they grow up.

Girl846:
Have you sought God's view on this issue?
According to the bible both of you 'going all the way' outside marriage and you wanting to join a cult is just out of the question?
Who do you think you are trying to fool here?
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul (Matt 16:12)

Anything that is not of God is of the devil
You choose the side you want to be on. Its really that simple.

I do not doubt that this lady has the love of God, maybe she is just weak in the flesh and wants to stop fornicating (thats why she wants marriage.)

You should please tell this lady as soon as possible.

Are u well or is your brain missin some screws - Somebody says he is a devil worshiper and you are askin him to seek God's view on a matter - Biggest Joke of the century.
