The absence of visitor's toilet in any flat or bungalow it a big error. Quote me anywhere.

There's a toilet accessible directly from the lounge without entering the room

Dear Nairaland Architects and Engineers, I designed a 2 bedroom/1 bedroom semi detached bungalow on a 15x15m land.

Please I need your criticism and suggestions on it so it can be modified.

N.B: I am not a professional!!! Just a graphic designer with little to no knowledge on this field

I currently drive a Honda Accord 2003. I'm looking for a place I can get car loan and swap to this VW passat 2012 and pay back with enough time (1-2 years payment plan). Any idea anyone?

I have been looking at the price of the VW Passat 2012 to 2014 prices on some Nigerian marketplace and I have discovered that it's way cheaper compared to previous edition.

I want to know if it has a common problem or it is just no too popular.

Good day, I recently bought a Honda Accord 2005 and after 3 weeks it started making noise from the engine. I was planning to take it to mechanic the following day but while driving this Sunday, it stopped on a highway. I tried to start it but the battery couldn't. So I borrowed a battery to start it. After starting it, the noise this time became worse and I managed it to a mechanic workshop. On reaching there, he said the sound is from the engine and he had to wait for it to get cold before opening it. The following day he opened it, long story short he discovered the connecting rod is broken, and the crankshaft affected too. He is advising me to get a new engine which will cost 450k and I'm flat broke right now. What can I do?

PS: It's my first car and I'm new to car stuff.

I have 1,4m

Hi guys,

return it to the owner

If it was a stolen phone do you think I'll erase it? I assumed every sane person will remove icloud before selling a phone.

I bought a fairly used iPhone 7 plus in Ogbomosho for a friend to use for her business. When I got back to Abuja where I reside, I decided to erase the phone and give her only to find out the icloud wasn't signed out.

I called the seller immediately and he gave me an email and password only for me to find out later that it's not correct. To cut the story short, I'm stuck on the activation lock page and have been looking for solutions. How do I go about it? I need help desperately.

Dear Nairalanders, I'm a graphic designer that uses CorelDRAW mostly and I use Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator a few times. I want to get another laptop and I'm having trouble deciding.

I have never used a Mac before and I think it may slow me down a bit in delivering works for the first few weeks and I don't know if Windows run smoothly on Mac.

Another thing I'm sceptical about is using CorelDRAW on Mac.

And my budget is 120k.

Pls help me decide

No clean sheet?

People.com confirmed with Lady Gaga’s rep on Feb. 19 that Gaga and her fiancé, the Hollywood agent Christian Carino, had broken up. “It just didn’t work out. Relationships sometimes end,” the rep told People. “There’s no long dramatic story.” People also noted that they split “a bit ago,” which fans had already speculated was the case.

At the Grammys on Feb. 10, fans noticed that Gaga wasn’t wearing her engagement ring at the ceremony; Peoplealso reported that she didn’t thank Carino when she gave her speech for winning a Grammy for “Shallow,” her duet with Bradley Cooper in A Star Is Born.

Lady Gaga and Carino first sparked dating rumors in early 2017, when they attended a Kings of Leon concert together. Later, they were seen kissing at the 2017 Super Bowl. That summer, Us Weekly reported that they got “secretly” engaged. As an agent, Carino has worked with people like Justin Bieber, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez and Miley Cyrus.

Last year, Nike shut down the internet with the launch of Nigeria’s 2018 World Cup Jersey.

THE NATIVE, a Nigerian hub for music, art, style and football, collaborated with Nike to launch a limited edition jersey, ILÉ.

The jersey, which is on sale for £64.95, was inspired by Adire, traditional Nigerian clothing. The tyre mark repeated pays homage to “monkey post” a style of street football in Nigeria.

ILÉ is a Yoruba word that means “home”. On the arm of the jersey is the country’s calling code for those in diaspora.

You can talk about black freedom and civil rights without mentioning Martin Luther King Jr. Yesterday was MLK Day, a day set aside annually to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.

Martin Luther King Jr was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. He was born into a black family and back then racism was at his peak.

Growing up in Atlanta, King attended Booker T. Washington High School, a school for African-Americans. On the ride home by bus, he and his teacher, who is also a black were ordered by the driver to stand for white passengers to sit. Insane right? But it was real.

King initially refused but complied after his teacher told him he would be breaking the law if he did not submit. During this incident, King said that he was “the angriest I have ever been in my life.”

From that moment onward, King became a black activist and went on to achieve the great feat. Though he was assassinated, his dream came true decades later when Barack Obama became President of the United States of America.

Sharp bad guy...

Multiple stream of income...

Kanye, Jay z, p.diddy etc all into clothing line.

But he needs to take Nike off and stand on his own if he's really serious about it, to have 100% of profit.

Except he's cool getting little change as endorsement.

This deal pays better. If he gets rid of Nike, the distribution will be to a little class.... Nike has built brand and distribution chain over the years (1964).

Many Nigerian artistes have clothing line but didn't go far because of greed and neglet

This story was on front page 2 days ago.

Why has it been brought on FP again early this morning?

BTW,

That wasn't even the best overhead kick in the champions league last season.

Bale's goal was better,

I know some Ronaldo slaves would start telling us about how he lept 1 million meters on the air,

But Bales goal was in the final.

Not just in the final, but

The goal definitely won the champions league for real madrid because he scored it with the scoreline still at 1-1.

Bad belle, is allowed! U get sense pass the whole UEFA. Come 2019 I'll vote for u as president.

Pls how do they pay? I mean the types and percentage.

Thanks!

Where's the picture?

Picture of what? The drunk guy?? Someone taking selfie?? Oxford Dictionary??

A selfie is a self-portrait photograph, typically taken with a smartphone which may be held in the hand or supported by a selfie stick (Wikipedia).

The word 'selfie' was coined in the olden days (2002). A drunk guy took a blurry photo of himself and posted it on social media for people to see and boom, It was called a Selfie.

You must be wondering what social media platform he posted his photo in 2002. Well, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc weren't existing in 2002. Social media has a history dating back to the 1970s. 'Dr Karl Self-Service Science Forum' is the place the guy posted his selfie.

Before 2002, people were already taken photo of themselves but was not called selfie then. Selfie was awarded 'word of the year' in 2013 by Oxford Dictionary.
