Perhaps he means single-sloped roofs.

Flat (horizontal) roofs will only work in the driest deserts. Not even in northern Nigeria.

The trusses in a single-sloped roof are simple triangles and the king post (upright part of the triangle) can be as low as 1m to1.5m. Very economical on wood.

The roofing sheets will not be cut since the roof plan is just a rectangle, so no waste of roofing materials.

You will need to shade windows from sunlight though.

Placing hoods above windows or having trees (eg those tall slim trees) in the compound can provide shade.

I am in the bid to roof my house and I am constrained to weigh different options due to cost implication. the cost I got for my roof design including facial wall for the roof is about 2m. However, I started thinking about flat roof designs may be it will be cheaper and beautiful.

My questions,
1. What are the pros and cons of it in Nigeria?
2. Is it cheaper to do and what volume of savings?
3. Is it affected by rain or sun reflection on the building?
4. Do Nigerians use or not?
5. If they don't why?

Dear all thanks for your response , please find attached a pix showing sample of flat roof.
cheers

Shows how much you know. When the rains come, most of these nomads go up north due to the return of vegetation up north and the presence of tsetseflies down south and with the herdsmen, the criminals among them hiding and disguising as herdsmen move.

The struggle between herdsmen and farmers can only be solved when herdsmen are able to source for food without going far away. Which was why Audu Ogbeh suggested importing high quality grasses which can survive the dry season up north which prevents herdsmen from going south to bother farmers or even farmers in the north.

Putting cattle in ranches is just going to cause meat scarcity in Nigerian. Ranch them up north, no food for 6 months each year.

Ranch them in the south, tsetsefly kills substantial amounts of them. Only solution is alternative feeding

It's almost 12 midnight and I heard the door to the sitting room open. He walked in and of course slumps into one of the sofa where he'll sleep till tomorrow. It's either the sitting room or the children's room. This life... .. .. I was barely 23yrs old when we got married and he's few years older. I actually thought he was all over me, now I look back and believe all that was pretence. Where have I gone wrong? I love this guy in a manner that makes me doubt my own sanity. Yes.. . I doubt if all is well with my brain. It amazes me why I still put up with a man who doesn't deserve even a prostitute. A man who has no regard for me, not even an iota of it. A man who thinks he is alpha and omega. I literally adores him, even after two kids in our marriage I break necks when I walk the streets. I am neater and sexier than most single ladies out there. I respect him, I'm a good cook, educated, brilliant, smart and beautiful. Nobody who knows me will believe I'm passing through hell in the hands of a man I love with all my heart. This life... It's damn funny how even my female friends jokingly ask me if my hubby let's me sleep at night. Who will believe me that we've been intimate just twice thrice this year. Those were even in the early months. This is not the first time he is depriving me of intimacy for months. It's just that for the first time... I'm seeing possibilities of me having an affair. Did I just say that? *sobs* Me of all women? The one who prides in her fidelity as a married woman? The same woman who brags that even at gunpoint, no other man will have his way? The same woman who says even for a trillion pounds? Hahaha this life is really unfair. The once virtuous woman now stays up late into the night watching pornographic films while masturbating. How I feel like stabbing myself to death each time. The guilt on my face when I look at my innocent kids sleeping peacefully on my matrimonial bed which I now share with them. My husband is now my flatmate. Now that God has taken us to a height of relaxation, he chose to spite me. I've tried all I can to breach the gap between us but to no avail. I've been the one begging for affection and even sex. To hell with sex, I can do without it for years but God knows lack of affection will be my death. I keep telling him that he'll look back one day and regret all of this, it's one thing I'm sure of. I didn't force myself on him to marry me. I didn't tie him with any pregnancy. Why me of all people? I love my kids more than life itself, a thousand times I've made up my mind to walk out. I'm not scared of facing life without him, he knows I'm a legit hustler who can place food on the table for myself and the kids. I'm more scared of becoming everything I swore never to be. I'm more scared of even killing him, myself or the kids out of depression one day. I'm so confused, I'm a shadow of myself. I'm breaking each passing day. I'm loosing hope each passing day. The worst of it is that he doesn't believe in communication. He just won't let that happen. How do I let him know he is slowly rewriting all the plans we had for ourselves and the kids? How do I let him know these kids we both adore will suffer most anyday I lose grip and decide to let go? How do I let him know that I wake up some nights, walk over to where he is sleeping, stare at him with so much anguish, pain and tears... While fighting back the urge to just stab him to death. How do I let him know that the true love I have for him is gradually turning into pure hatred? How do I let him know that I'm not sure of the next thing I might do? How do I open his eyes to see what those strange women have succeeded in doing to us? No ooooo I refuse to join you in the madness, adultery is one sin I've sworn NEVER to commit. I'll take a walk. I don't even know if I'm making sense at all but my chest is sooooooo heavy tonight.

alexialin:
You caused it
that others are giving you wrong advice. You should amend your story to include the fact that you found out he is married. It isn't everybody that is reading every of your post cos of time.
Secondly one of the things that made a woman happy in marriage is if she lives where she is comfortable with. Don't compromise your quality of life because of marriage. You may be unhappy in it.
My wife was not happy in our marriage for first 5years because she didn't like where we were living at. And she never told me until we moved, and it made our lives terrible for that five years.

Cheers



I can't. Hes married and cunningly hid it from me

I want to keep living a peaceful and stress free life in nigeria, void of charms and assassins trailing me cos his wife is somewhere in Lagos, crying for justice without my knowledge.
I cant come and die because I want to marry.

Do you intend to give birth in the USA? If yes then you need to be prepared and apply for that.
If not then wait after the delivery because a vo would assume the visa could be used for birthing purposes

Boko Haram frees 82 Nigerian schoolgirls in swap for terrorists

DEBKAfile May 7, 2017, 12:03 PM (IDT)
The Islamist Boko Haram group have released 82 schoolgirls from a group of 276 they abducted in Chibok north-eastern Nigeria three years ago, the Nigerian president's office says. They were traded for an unknown number of captured terrorists after negotiations. The girls were brought from a remote area to a Nigerian army base near the Cameroon border. More than 100 girls are still held captive by Boko Haram. Many of the Chibok girls were Christian, but were forced to convert to Islam and to "marry" their kidnappers..

http://debka.com/newsupdatepopup/20525/Boko-Haram-frees-82-Nigerian-schoolgirls-in-swap-for-terrorists

Batch II release!

I use this medium to implore the handlers of this BATCH RELEASE to make a COMPLETE release once and for all from the bunker or wherever they are being kept.

Or you still want to keep to the scripts?

May 2016 - Batch I
May 2017 - Batch II
Batch III would be next year May and the final batch probably before 2019 election all things being equal.

The real story surrounding the Chibok girls kidnap would be made known in no distant future.

God bless Nigeria.

Yet till now no effect has been made on goods in the market. People that were quick to skyrocket prices due to dollar hike are now sluggish to journey along with the dollar. An average Nigerian is a rogue.

So, why was this convention necessary? I mean this particular topic? Remain loyal to Jehovah

I have attended so many conventions, in my more than 20 years with the watchtower organization, but they have never been a convention about loyalty, there was never a need for it, so why at this point?

These are just a few of the reasons why the governing body of Jehovah’s Witnesses needed to reinforce loyalty.

Information spread: Information today flows at the speed of the internet, what happens in one part of the earth will be known in the other part of the earth within hours. What that means for the governing body (those in charge of the watchtower organization) is that they cannot continue to hoard information as they used to and only releases them if it pleases them or will serve their purpose (and as they would prefer to). I mean, you can practically download in your phone, in the comfort of your home the book “The Divine Plan of Ages”, published in 1886 by the watchtower.

That is hardly what the watchtower would bargain for, as much information in those publications are embarrassing and they would prefer witnesses do not come in contact with them. It would have been simply and clearly evident that the teaches in those older publications (called old light) could never have come from Jehovah. They have tried to make sure that witnesses do not come in contact with such older publications, they are not included in the watchtower offline or online library.

As a result of information and resources for research widely being available today, 1000s of JWs are becoming aware of watchtower old wrong doctrines, doctrines they claim to been championed truth, but doctrine they have discarded. Many are becoming aware that these doctrines like [ cross, Jesus Mediator-ship, 1914, Jerusalem destruction in 607 BCE as against 587 BCE, great crowd, blood transfusion etc.] have little or no biblical, historical or archeological backing.

This is despite the fact that this information had always been there, some more than 20 years, but had been suppressed by the watchtower organization. Such is the beauty of the internet. No wonder a serious call to remain loyalty to the organization and it’s teaching

Worldwide Downsizing: The worldwide purging of bethel members, many that have spent all their lives in bethel and not knowing any other place or any other way of living, brought questions as to the divine backing of those in charge of the organization (the governing body). You need to hear how brothers and sisters complain of how sudden it has been and how they do not really have where to start from, most being so disappointed. To most, it dawned on them that they have been working for a publishing corporation.

Mishandling of Child Abuse Cases: The past few years have been very brutal for the watchtower organization. Watchtower is facing and losing a rising number of court cases, due to its policies and protection of pedophiles within its congregations.

The Australian Royal commission investigation into how the watchtower organization handles child abuse case with discoveries shocking legal experts. Over a thousand unreported child molesters in Australia alone since 1950’s. Practice of forcing an abuse survivor to confront their abuser, institutional dismissal of any abuse claim, no matter how credible, unless there had been two witnesses to the act and the systematic destruction of documents relevant to the accusations of child abuse, by elders, including notes taken during judicial investigation and committees and congregation records related to child sexual abuse, all under direct order from the watchtower (as in the case of child abuse investigation in London) and the watchtower organization using all legal means available to ensure that they do not turn to the authorities child abuse case document as in the united stated.

In 2007, the Watchtower settled 16 child abuse cases, with a total payout estimated to have been $13 million dollars. On 20 May 2010, a lawsuit was filed in San Diego, California, by the Zalkin Law Firm, case number 37-2010-00092450-CU-PO-CTL, against the Watchtower of New York. This regarded 5 people and was settled out of court in 2012, with the Watchtower paying out an undisclosed amount of money. In 2014, a San Diego judge awarded $13.5 million to Lopez, who was molested by Congregation elder. In the case Watchtower refused to provide its list of known predators to the court.

These information is what typical JWs wouldn’t be aware of in time past, I guess, the internet is not friendly for the watchtower organization and its Governing Body. Thousands of other cases are clearly documented in http://www.silentlambs.com.

Failed prophecy “This generation” to “Overlapping Generation” teaching: Another key teaching, “this generation” prophecy failed when the last member of the governing body that was “anointed” before 1935, was part of the first group of governing body that witness 1914 died, forcing the governing body to “this generation” to an overlapping generation. This key ‘New light’ teaching of the “overlapping generation” is struggling to take hold in the faith of many witnesses, as can be seen in watchtower’s repeated attempt at explaining it.

This are just few of the numerous reasons why the governing body had to reinforce loyalty, using series of videos and talks in this year’s regional convention.

What's wrong with Vivian fowler? It's one of the best secondary schools in the country. If you want the best for your children you can look for a mixed school that is in the same standard but do not go lower than that.
Most of this military schools live on past glory.

JOOHEL:
Not bad


good teachers


nice environment

M14A1:
Good choice sir, i graduated from one of the airforce schools.
The question should be "would my child survive the heat at any of the airforce secondary or military schools?"

They don't joke around, you are either working your butts off academically or you are going home.

JOOHEL:
take him to kings college Lagos or her to queens college..

i finished from there
