Good morning Folks,

Can someone help me out with information on the current cost of a bag of white Cement (Gypsum) and a kg of Fibre (wool sponge used in POP ceiling making) around the South East?

Also, how many bags of the white cement and kg of wool would be required (just a guesstimate) to cover an area of 120 sq meters

Thanks

Oga Spyder, great job you are doing. The building is coming out fine. Jisie ike

hi guys,

could anyone please help me out with the current prices of plastic water storage tanks. From 2k liters upwards for various brands.

Thanks

Ok thanks. Shall be expecting the price update

Oga Twinskenny, great job you are doing. For the cabling, what brand of cables are you using for the conduit electrical wiring? And what's the cost like for the cables?

That was a valid goal by the Tunisians. The ball hadn't even touched the line. The referee saved Nigeria. Our defence went to sleep

iamdynamite:
pls I need the link to watch the game.

check my post, 2 posts before yours for a working link

Badosqi:
9 dinamo zaagreb players in the croatian team. A very good advantage for them.

10 not 9. That's why they are a very compact team aside the obvious superior individual skills

Watching these boys play is a pain in the eyes. Maybe I am expecting the 2013 standard of play from them. I don't see this team going beyond quarterfinals

Not trying to defend Saraki, but has anyone thought of the possibility of some of these assets being part of his late father's estate which he inherited on his death? I've decided not to have an opinion on this Saraki matter until all the facts are laid bare

Tomorrow we'll be complaining about the Indians and the manner with which they treat Nigerian employees.

They want oil concessions on their own terms, which isn't in our interest and we are here lampooning our govt officials for not agreeing to such terms.

Mind you, through this period we've had OBJ, Lukman and Deziani as petroleum ministers and none deemed it fit to sign the agreement. That tells you that the terms of agreement isn't to Nigeria's interest

NgeneUkwenu:
The same here, with the exception of Effium dialect which I am 100% sure is not an Igbo Language.

Afikpo also has a very rich culture. I love their masquerades In the days of yore, they used to chase "shit" out of us the students, especially the "ote erus"

Nne, it seems you attended SFAIGS

Femi, could you please inform us how much Buhari's son earned (in any currency of your choice) as estacode for the trip?

adorable29:
Hehehe! Things are happening! She doesn't look happy.... Money ain't everything.

But again , its non of my business....

Look at the picture again and notice oshomohle and other govs' stance. They are singing the national anthem. So there is nothing to show happiness there. Besides how do you know she ain't happy in her marriage?

lygn19:
From d pose and if d photo was to speak for itself, someone would think it's Rochas Okorocha's daughter or his concubine, whole Oshiomole is one guy at d background.

Free the guy joo. Na national anthem dem dey sing. As she no be originally Nigerian and hence might not yet know the wordings by heart to sing along, na im she come bow her head in respect.

But stunning in that dress, she certainly is

@OP you no well. You want me to vomit laughter? Did you also taste the garri whether she added enough sugar and satchet cowbell milk. Abi na salt she take drink the garri?

Funny indeed

MzJackBaueress:
What was your 25minutes discussion all about then?

butterflyy:
Good question, I will love t̶̲̥̅̊ø̲̣̣̥ know too.

Check the NTA 9pm Network news of that day. It was covered and he explained what he discussed with President Buhari. By the way, Anyaoku was at the Aso Rock on the President's invitation. He didn't seek an audience with Buhari on his own

azpekuliar:
Just after Waterside, at the foot the hill, if you're heading towardd Wilcox Memorial Secondary school (my school back then ) or NTA Aba from East road.

The building still stands and nothing has changed structure wise since the last time you saw it. That's one of the so called "abandoned" properties that the governor intends renovating. Methinks the building (Enyimba hotel) as well as the that 7 storey behemoth on Faulks road on the way to Ariaria market should be brought down and something else should arise from their ashes. I doubt if they are still sound structurally

nigerianvenom:
Whats d essence of d dredging of this lake?

To improve the flow of the river. All drainages in Aba empty into it.

naijathings:
Hmmm .... this toy brings back memories.
imagine when you have 4 sisters and house full of cousins and a mother that just keeps buying all the latest girl toys and stuff.
this toy plenty wella for house cos every girl wanted their own and each one had its name.
you see that "whistle" thing that makes the noise? i ssabi comot that thing and na so i go turn am to whistle.
then finally we cut them open to fill them up with water.

na wah oh

Mostly the nose is cut to fill the doll with water or sand. The best way to upset a sister then was to hide her doll under the mattress

Great poem. If one is able to pronounce correctly all the words, then one should be fine with spoken English. I had to use online dictionaries to get the exact pronunciation of some of the words that we generally mispronounce in Nigeria. Thanks @OP

alexasomba:
The poem below is a condensed version of 'The Chaos' by Gerard Nolst Trenité , written in 1922.
It features a ridiculous number of words that are difficult to pronounce, so don't feel bad if you have to refer to a dictionary. I certainly did!

If you fancy yourself something of a professional linguist, then this challenge is for you. English is notoriously difficult to learn, as the language has so many exceptions to the rules. Even for a native English speaker, this poem presents quite a few challenges! Check it out and see how you fare. If you can pronounce all of the words, you speak English better than 90% of the population.

Here we go!

Dearest creature in creation,
Study English pronunciation.
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.
I will keep you, Suzy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy.
Tear in eye, your dress will tear.
So shall I! Oh hear my prayer.

Just compare heart, beard, and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word,
Sword and sward, retain and Britain.
(Mind the latter, how it's written.)
Now I surely will not plague you
With such words as plaque and ague.
But be careful how you speak:
Say break and steak, but bleak and streak;
Cloven, oven, how and low,
Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe.

Hear me say, devoid of trickery,
Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore,
Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles,
Exiles, similes, and reviles;
Scholar, vicar, and cigar,
Solar, mica, war and far;
One, anemone, Balmoral,
Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel;
Gertrude, German, wind and mind,
Scene, Melpomene, mankind.

Billet does not rhyme with ballet,
Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet.
Blood and flood are not like food,
Nor is mould like should and would.
Viscous, viscount, load and broad,
Toward, to forward, to reward.
And your pronunciation's OK
When you correctly say croquet,
Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve,
Friend and fiend, alive and live.

Ivy, privy, famous; clamour
And enamour rhyme with hammer.
River, rival, tomb, bomb, comb,
Doll and roll and some and home.
Stranger does not rhyme with anger,
Neither does devour with clangour.
Souls but foul, haunt but aunt,
Font, front, wont, want, grand, and grant,
Shoes, goes, does. Now first say finger,
And then singer, ginger, linger,
Real, zeal, mauve, gauze, gouge and gauge,
Marriage, foliage, mirage, and age.

Query does not rhyme with very,
Nor does fury sound like bury.
Dost, lost, post and doth, cloth, loth.
Job, nob, bosom, transom, oath.
Though the differences seem little,
We say actual but victual.
Refer does not rhyme with deafer.
Foeffer does, and zephyr, heifer.
Mint, pint, senate and sedate;
Dull, bull, and George ate late.
Scenic, Arabic, Pacific,
Science, conscience, scientific.

Liberty, library, heave and heaven,
Rachel, ache, moustache, eleven.
We say hallowed, but allowed,
People, leopard, towed, but vowed.
Mark the differences, moreover,
Between mover, cover, clover;
Leeches, breeches, wise, precise,
Chalice, but police and lice;
Camel, constable, unstable,
Principle, disciple, label.

Petal, panel, and canal,
Wait, surprise, plait, promise, pal.
Worm and storm, chaise, chaos, chair,
Senator, spectator, mayor.
Tour, but our and succour, four.
Gas, alas, and Arkansas.
Sea, idea, Korea, area,
Psalm, Maria, but malaria.
Youth, south, southern, cleanse and clean.
Doctrine, turpentine, marine.

Compare alien with Italian,
Dandelion and battalion.
Sally with ally, yea, ye,
Eye, I, ay, aye, whey, and key.
Say aver, but ever, fever,
Neither, leisure, skein, deceiver.
Heron, granary, canary.
Crevice and device and aerie.

Face, but preface, not efface.
Phlegm, phlegmatic, ass, glass, bass.
Large, but target, gin, give, verging,
Ought, out, joust and scour, scourging.
Ear, but earn and wear and tear
Do not rhyme with here but ere.
Seven is right, but so is even,
Hyphen, roughen, nephew Stephen,
Monkey, donkey, Turk and jerk,
Ask, grasp, wasp, and cork and work.

Pronunciation -- think of Psyche!
Is a paling stout and spikey?
Won't it make you lose your wits,
Writing groats and saying grits?
It's a dark abyss or tunnel:
Strewn with stones, stowed, solace, gunwale,
Islington and Isle of Wight,
Housewife, verdict and indict.

Finally, which rhymes with enough --
Though, through, plough, or dough, or cough?
Hiccough has the sound of cup.
My advice is to give up!!!

Who/what is bubu ? The last time I checked, the name of your president wasn't / isn't bubu. Give him some respect please.

And pls can you tell me when or where buhari made the west Germany statement and then maybe I might eat my words back. You know good criticism is good and what you pdp guys are doing is not criticism but plain evil.

I have the video but it wouldn't upload here. If you provide a e-mail address, i'll forward it to you

hifaif:
Folks, relax, we are winning this. Yesterday, Colombia outplayed USA in all ramifications but USA won even with 10 men. I will never forget that match.

Germany would cool down soon and we would win. If they score us first, then, they are in serious trouble because we would not only equalize but beat the poo out of them after which we crucify them and make sure they never pray to meet us again even in the senior level.

Do you really believe what you are saying or just trying to talk yourself out of accepting the obvious? There's no link between Awoniyi and the defence. Not to talk of their players being technically better set up than our team

Look at the gaping hole in our midfield, where Yahaya and Ihenacho would have comfortably covered. We should just forget this game and tournament. Manu Garba has messed everything up with his selections

The German coach is technically better than Manu Garba. He set his players high and we are not able to get out of our own half. He should have used a very mobile team, the very set up he used against Brazil. If we concede first, then we can forget coming back, as they'll choke the midfield area and further restrict our boys

Amnesty International Nigeria is under the thumb of OBJ and he influences their reports about the country and it's military. He told Buhari before his inauguration to make sure he "repositions" the military that was their constituency. So this report is to help him purge the military of those that OBJ has an axe to grind

The tournament has just began. Great goal from Awoniyi

The camera keeps focusing on Bulbuwa's balding head

inimitkel:
I don't fink Nigeria is qualifying from this round...what sort of coach would bench the key players in a game you need to net massively? 41 min no goal

Maybe the coach is blaming the 3 guys he benched for the loss against Brazil or he's trying to pass on a message to the NFF people for imposing them on him
