Christianity EtcRe: Photos Of Reigners Bible Church Under Construction by BluStreak(m): 1:15pm On Dec 12, 2016
helovesme:
The soil's load bearing capacity for a structure of that size is very important.

Looking at the picture, the soil looks like laterite.

Looking at the picture again, it appears there was a lot of soil excavation before the construction work began.

There is nothing wrong with the design of the building itself. I have seen several far more complex structures. The problem is too much emphasis was placed on the structural roof work without thinking about the load bearing walls/beams/soil.
We cut corner and neglect a lot of things in Nigeria and most times even go way below the approved standards.

A few super beams should have been introduced and woven into the design and aesthetics of the building to carry the loads since they didn't want to introduce a centre beam or transverse load balancer.

I will blame the architect 101%.
Christianity EtcRe: Photos Of Reigners Bible Church Under Construction by BluStreak(m):
Are you for real shocked shocked shocked shocked? What did they expect should bear the load of all that steel plus roofing sheets as it disperses from the centre down to its ends since there was no centre load bearer? Those tiny pillar frames of the building I am looking at? Truth is that building would have still collapsed later if it hadn't happened when it did. I believe that church will have among its congregation qualified and even student engineers, why didn't anybody raise an alarm?

If the architect that drew this structure didn't make provisions for a steel beam that should transverse across 'side-to-side' to balance the load and direct it downwards instead of dispersal direction should be prosecuted. Even if the pillars where replaced with steel frames, a load direction balancer (if they didn't want to have a centre beam carrying the load) would have still been necessary.

This is the reason in car wheels configuration, manufacturers add some fittings which to an ordinary eye has no sensible use of it being there. They are called stabilisers, loose them and you see your car wobble and so on.

That structure was built to fail.

Architects please come and use the right terms to explain my points better. I am a physicist, not an architect.

FamilyRe: Help! His Wife Is Tormenting Him. by BluStreak(m): 10:46am On Aug 05, 2016
The lesson from this man's travails is, NEVER you as a man marry a woman who didn't live her youth. They always get carried away when they find comfort and starts getting attention from men outside. I know what I am talking about. A lady with experience, who has seen it all can hardly be swayed by sweet talks and attentions from men which most often than not is laced with ulterior motives. She is already way ahead of the predators and wont find it hard putting them where they belong as she has been there done that.

ComputersRe: Why You Need To Upgrade To Windows 10 Before 29th July by BluStreak(m): 8:12am On Jul 27, 2016
I guess I must be among the super-lucky Windows 10 upgraders. My ever faithful Elitebook Core i7 took it without a hitch (except for battery drain sha). Everything works fine from Bluetooth to Wlan and display. Not forgetting to add that I have 8GB RAM installed.

For those complaining of their PC hanging, Windows 10 has a lotta background resources that needs processing and room. For this, you must have a minimum of 4GB ram to get any use off Windows 10. Note also that you must be running the 64bit version for all ur 4GB to be put to use as 32bit versions will limit memory usage to a little above 3GB even if you installed 8GB.

1st generation Core i3 and i5 struggles on Windows 10 except you have up to 6 - 8GB of ram.

To me, Windows 10 is akin to Windows XP of (Windows 95 and Windows Me). It is also like the Windows 7 of Windows Vista and Windows 8 before the stable 8.1 upgrade.

Windows 10 is superb and stable if your system meets it's requirements.

Go Windows 10.

RomanceRe: When You Think Sex Is All There Is To A Relationship by BluStreak(m): 7:08am On Jul 27, 2016
Sex is an integral part of a long lasting relationship but not what a relationship should be built on. Any relationship built of sex is just physical and superficial, they never ever last beyond the period the sex is sweet and fulfilling. Once it starts to loose it's taste, frequency or intensity, the relationship dies.

A true lasting LOVE/relationship is deep. It's lacks the right words to piece it together. The fire burns new everyday irrespective of the number and weight of stones thrown at it, it's never extinguished. One like a mother and son's love.
PoliticsRe: Nigeria Heading Into Recession, Says IMF by BluStreak(m): 11:13am On Jul 20, 2016
Hello IMF, why you dey romance the talk naaah? The Nigeria I know is already in recession except you are referring to a different Nigeria. If na that Nigeria we all dey call Naija, it is already in full blown recession.

But there is a solution; True Federalism. That medicine is the only remedy to the sickened Nigeria we have found ourselves in. True federalism will foster growth and industrial revolution and competition to attract investor. Look at Lagos and Ogun state as a good example of healthy competition among states.

Please this senate should give us true federalism and write their names in the marble slate of time as the ones that saved this country from the impending doom staring us all in the face.

I pray we don't get Zimbabwe-d and go from being the number 1 African economy to lipsrsealed lipsrsealed lipsrsealed lipsrsealed lips sealed.

RomanceRe: I Lied To Her And Now I Want To Marry Her (please Advise Me) by BluStreak(m): 5:43am On Jul 06, 2016
I don't see any issue here to worry your heads. Tell her the plain truth as it is. At the initial stage of the affair, you were out to chop and clean mouth and had to lie you live in Abuja to create an illusion of distance. Your main reason being to avoid frequent visits or interference from your daily parole. But as it stands now, you have fallen head-over-heals in love with her and must at this point come out straight because you want to take the relationship to the next level.

If she really is in love with you and not the prospect of living in Abuja, she won't bath an eyelid. Best of luck man.

Pls which type of pastor commits adultery? A married pastor? Having sex outside marriage even if he was single or a widower?

"Many shall come in my name....." said the Lord.

Fake pastors everywhere ruining marriages and relationships for what they stand to gain either financial or covetousness of another's woman.

CareerRe: How Do I Handle Work Place Sexual Harassment. HELP! by BluStreak(m): 6:32am On Jul 02, 2016
@Estherfaith, pls pay no mind to the "Give him a resounding slap" advocates. I guess they missed the part where you reiterated your boss owns the company. Now that, is a game changer.

Due to the high un(under)employment presently, this case requires the wisdom of solomon to navigate through. I like the spy camera angle so you can have a voice and video evidence against him. Voice alone might not cut it if he hires the services of a strong lawyer. Another method might be to appal to his conscience using his born again cloak as a veritable tool. You can start attending his church and always go to greet him and his family at the end of the day's service. Do this consistently for a while and you'll notice he'd change.

Best of luck warding off the predator.

Tell the man to seek knowledge.
He needs adequate knowledge to help pull off a successful marriage.
Getting him a ready to marry woman does not help him. The marriage will also crash if he refuses to update.
Good point. Its not all about hoping into another one, but figuring out why the 1st failed or went into coma as he said and working on self to avoid the same pitfall.

FamilyRe: Why Do Nigerian Ladies Grow Out Of Shape When Married? by BluStreak(m): 6:44am On Jun 29, 2016
HaneefahRN:
First, not all women gain so much weight, trying to look around me, you all seem to be exaggerating. There are fit, slim married women around and there are robust ones who had been even before marriage. And let's not talk about men who gain weight after marriage. My parents for example, my dad was the one that gained weight while my mum still has
her portable build even after 6 kids. And it wasn't like she was doing any special exercises, she was just lucky to have a good genetic build as regards weight gain, her mothers had same build. She has the average day layout of a Nigerian woman. Wake up 4am, pray, cook and other chores, prepare the family for school and work, go to work, come back 5pm at least, chores, and prep dinner, etc, and the cycle continues.
These Factors can contribute:

- Diet: We generally have a poor diet in Nigeria, most of our traditional dishes are high calorie foods. How many homes do you see where they eat veggie and fruit salad as a real food. We all want our pounded yam, amala and all. How many families eat dinner before 6pm? People eat heavy meals late at night, how do they work that off?


- Pregnancy. Overflogged, some people are lucky not to gain so much weight though.Some people don't even look pregnant till they are in their late trimester, while some people would have ballooned up to 2 times their normal size and find it hard to shed off after child birth.

- Birth Control methods-Some birth control methods such as use of hormonals cause weight gain.

- Laziness and sedentary life style-Unless an house wife with a maid, that sits in front of TV every day eating, which an average Nigerian wife doesn't do, I really don't see much to this.


- Genetics: Some people are just genetically programmed to have a slim frame. I have friends that can eat mountains and they won't show any visible weight gain, while some people will even gain weight while suffering. It's genetics. My mum could lose her baby fat fairly well and still look moderate after several preggies, while a friend of mine is still battling with the weight she gained while pregnant even after a year, diet, exercise and all. She looked so jealous when I told her I wanted to gain weight instead.


- Stress-When one is stressed there is more likelihood to eat junks rather than healthy meals

- Overeating - Some people just like eating a lot without any care about how to work it off.






Let me just stop here, I haven't been to other Countries so can't say if it's only Nigerian women that are obese like you people always try to paint it.


And men with beautiful, prim wives still cheat, a man that will cheat will, even with a lady that can't stand beside his wife. We could as well try and justify a wife cheating cos her husband got broke, can't we?

Both parties should help themselves to keep fit.
