I give only when I decide to give and when I am comfortable about it and no amount of blackmail can make me to part ways with my money.

Even if na life and death, I no go drop for anybody because I know that when the chips are down, nobody will come to my own rescue so I am presently working hard to make sure I won’t need anybody’s help again.

Shalom

I hope someone will read this because it’s on page 10 already,


If my DADDY wasn’t a giver, we probably wouldn’t have gone through hardship.

My dad was a senior officer back then in the civil service and man worked for over 20years, he was giving his money out gannnn! To church, to community projects, and a lot of his siblings children lived us, we had nothing less than 10 kids living with us back then grin man had no savings because he was disbursing his salary.

He lost his job in 2007 and that was when his siblings came to pick up their kids and till date, those kids are doing fine and non of them even visit my dad again.

He lost his job and he was forgotten, church and Alfas first took the few changes he had left all in the name of praying for him before they all left!

Hardship CHOKE!!! we were living in an estate and we had to move into my mum’s 2 bedroom uncompleted project, lol, I left my private school to a public school..


Arghhhh! My dad was in one social club when he was balling but they all left when he lost his job.

A big shout out to my Mum for raising 4 kids singlehandedly without anybody knowing.

Glory be to God, things are better because we’ve finally built our house and we now 2 rides and we all are gainfully employed

Guess what? The leeches are coming back grin they finally remembered we exist again

Lol, it doesn’t always work like that! Having 51% of most HUGE companies like this is RARE.

What matter is the highest shareholder and it seems in this case, Otedola is the highest shareholder with 5% of the company’s valuation

The Simplest Way To Calculate The Numbers Of Blocks U Need For Your Fence


The simplest way to calculate the numbers of blocks you need for your fence project, assuming you are fencing a land measuring 120 feet by 60 ft, a standard plot

This calculation is based on 9 inches block fence .
The measurement we are using is 120 ft (length) and since we have two lengths that is multiply by 2 which is 240 ft. (120 x 2) = 240

The breadth is 60 ft and also since we have 2 breadths that equal 120 ft (60 x 2) = 120
Then (240 + 120) that is 360 feet perimeter line fencing.

The calculation

(we are to convert this 360 feet to inches ) since a foot is 12 inches , now let us multiply 12 inches by 360 ft which is 4320 inches.

Now to get the line numbers of blocks that will go around the fence perimeters of 4320 inches or 360 feet, we would need to divide 4320 by 18 inches, since the length of any block be it 6 inches or 9 inches is 18inches.

Now 4320 inches divide by 18 inches is approximately 240 line of blocks , then we must multiply that by the numbers of coaches of blocks you want for your height, assuming 7 ft which is 9 coaches that means 240 multiply by 9 which is 2160 blocks and that is all you need anything aside from this is fake and fraud, this calculation is derive by me professionally and i have been using it without any mistake, but always remember to add 10 % of blocks to it because of broken blocks, and for this work, you only need 30 bags of cements, one bag of cement to 70 blocks, is standard.

for your pillars between the fence, let assume 6 blocks far from the next pillar, that means 6 divide by 240 which is 40 pillars, 1 bag of cement to 2 pillars standard, that is 17 bags plus 40 bags that is 47 bags is need by me to do this fence, if i'm in position and you should also to add 15 bags for floor blinding of the fence making 62 bags of cement.

Then, we need to minus the gate and the pillars that are also taking space in the fence.

The gate is 12 ft, let us assume the gate columns or pillars is 14 inches each, we have 2 pillars holding the gate, that is 28 inches or 2. 4 feet plus 12 feet that is 14.4 feet or approximately 15 feet.

Remember we already calculate the pillars that 40 pillars is need for the measurement.

Each pillar or column for 9 inches concrete is 9 inches square, 9 x 40 = 360 inches that is (30 feet + 15 feet = 45 feet ) / 18 inches = 30 blocks multiply by the number of coaches, 30 x 9 = 270 block minus 2160 blocks = 1890 blocks in total.

40 lengths of 12mm iron rod, since one pillar is equivalent to 1 length.

3 lengths of 16mm iron rod for the 2 big pillars holding the gate.

90 planks of soft wood for the framing.

1 truck of granite (granite would be use for the wall foundation and columns)

5 trucks of sharp sand

Thanks for the opportunity giving me to explain this simple arithmetic.

As a matter of fact, building a house is not in any way easy at all and it makes me wonder how the artisans and okada riders in my side do end up building while some bank managers or high end civil servants still live as a tenant.

If you’re reading this and you’re living in your personal house, Na man you be!!!!!

I briefly calculated the amount needed to fence a plot and it’s around 1M, what about 2plots?

A quick question, people who have like 10acres and above, how do they afford to do the property’s perimeter fencing?

This is the way if you care for quality home theatre audio Available in the market is appalling the best audio system sold by Fuani house (primary dealer of LG) is a dated 5.2 system that was discontinued sometimes in 2015 by LG and does not even support 4k.

For home automation. I have it integrated with my solar energy management system. The system is set to prioritise the cheapest source of power available at any given time.

Solar if solar is not available then grid if grid is not available then battery if battery drops below a voltage set point then generator.

I also use sonof smart switch to turn off heavy duty appliances like freezers during heavy rain and cloudy. Days when solar is not sufficient.

The whole setup is self running without human intervention mostly DIYed using open source tools like home assistant and some python scripts.

For home entertainment. I have a 60 Terabyte storage system
16TB for an active Network Attached Storage configured in redundant array for fail over in case any one drive fails.

There is a 10Tb active backup of 16tb storage
And 30tb cold storage full of backed up content.

Movies are automatically downloaded by a torrent tracker and saved to the NAS. This means over 2k movies in 1080p and 4ƙ ( including most classics like all James Bond release, all Harry Potter , complete star wars, complete marvel cinematic)

Complete Season of Voltron classic (84)
Muppet babies
Super Ted
Courage The Cowardly dog etc

Internet is handled via fibre for now. However I would be moving to a new place which doesn't have finer so so am preparing a dual SIM cat6 external LTE router which would have MTN and Airtel in failover mode for Internet. The external LTE router comes built in with a 9Dbi gain antenna allowing it pick signals 14km away.
Is this realhuh Omoooorrr!!! Lollll

FamilyRe: Share Your Crazy Experiences With Last Borns by Born2conquer: 8:11am On Oct 17, 2021
Last born must be successful.

My younger sister is 17 and the last time we lived together was 9years ago, we the older siblings left home at about 9 to 10years ago and she’s been the only one with Dem parent .

I do pity her though, we the other siblings grew up together (age gap between us was 2years) so we attended primary school,secondary school almost together and we also shared the chores! Our last born came more like an afterthought grin grin

So she grew up mostly alone with dem parent, she was lazy before but now na mama dey do all the house chores from Cooking to cleaning to fetching water (before we did borehole) but that made her more matured than other last born.

And don’t forget! Na she go enjoy PASS! na 90k phone and other gadgets she dey use and she even own a bank account fat enough (which hardly even touch)

PhonesRe: After Infinix Zero, Infinix Plans Another Device Launch by Born2conquer: 7:26am On Oct 13, 2021
googlepikins:
Seriously Multi tasking?
Yes actually, most of us spend money on device not because to show off but because of the capability.

You will hardly know I use an iPhone sef.

1)When I was using Tecno/infinity, the phone was always lagging and crashing and that was back in 2011 to 2015, I bought an iPhone since 2019 and rhe phone is yet to crash for once and it never lags (maybe only when I use WhatsApp)

2)if you’re into business, you need a phone that you can use to snap your products,service and it will come out like a professional studio snapped branded products without buying a 300k Nikon camera and a 500k lens, IPhone covered that.

3)Asset, the moment you unbox any android (from tecno to Samsung), the value drops by 20% and 50% on subsequent use, IPhone is the only phone you can buy for 400k in 2019 and still sell for 420k in 2021 (depends on dollar movement) and guess what?? IPhone demands is much.

4)Reliability, lol, i was always repairing my Android from screen problem to some other things (normal on android), this is my 3year of using my iPhone and I’ve never repaired the smallest thing, the phone is still as new as ever.


5) if you’re a blogger, media guy, tech guy, you can be rest assured of your phone multitasking up to 20 apps without it compromising.

6) Security, dem no dey hack iPhone o lmao, if you lock your iPhone, nobody on earth can unlock it o, if police/Efcc arrest you, you can lock up on not unlocking your phone and nothing they do on earth can unlock it unless they clear the whole device (which will even cost them more)

Many more things I can’t list, though some people buying it do not know what to do with it and most buy it just to flaunt and show off, dem no dey use pass whatsapp and camera sef.

NB: I have 2 androids and 1 iPhone so I know what it takes to use an iPhone and an android
