chopnaira: Same in North America and many other African countries. Any renovation that could affect the structural safety of a dwelling will need permit.
Did you guys read the article before telling us about North America, Europe and other African countries??
The article is talking about re-painting, re-plastering and other aesthetic renovations, structural alterations
Una de dey too quick to compare even when clear assimilation hasn't been made
Deeegbee: Funny comment but can you give reasons why he should run from the latter. I want to learn, at times you have like 4 different quotes for a particular task and you end up as a confuse man. My rules most times is to buy only 75% materials of what they quote because of past experience.
The 2nd quotation is not realistic. I think the guy just wants to grab the job first and then show him pepper as the work progresses
Iriruaga100: Go with your site engineer. Buy half of everything he requested for first and supervise the job. Run from the alternate engineer as fast as you can.
Kyng1: So, no solution? But If I choose to quit the marriage will the family agree to return my bride price?
Do you actually need your bride price to be returned before you can effect a divorce??
Which kind man you be self?? Look at someone that should have walked out of the traditional marriage immediately he and his family were first insulted!
A real and normal man shouldn't have gone ahead to complete that useless ceremony in the face of those insults and disrespect.
You sheepishly went ahead and performed the ceremony amidst such level of insults and are now complaining about not having visited your mannerless and disrespectful mother inlaw and her saucy and ill-trained children!
Which mother inlaw? Do you think you have a mother inlaw You think you're married? You're not married, young man! You're still bloodily single, FYI!
Where are you from self . None of my soons should be like you, abeg!
Kyng1: I have lots and I mean a lot of recordings of her suicide attempt, but I don't trust the police because of what happened to me last year. They're crooks and answers to the highest bidder only. Someone sold a land to me double the amount that he has already sold to someone else. My sister got him arrested, he was in cell for barely 24 hours when his father came to bail him, the police bailed him without my notice without my notice or knowledge with immediate effect, until date, I didn't get a penny from my money.
When everyone is having his/her way around you, finding it easy to do anything to you and get away easily, you really need to re-examine your life.
Everything about about your 2 write-ups gives the impression you're a weakling and that doesn't augur well with someone living in Nigeria.
Nigeria has no room for weaklings and you need to brace up.
emmeyen: Of course it doesn't. But as soon as the man becomes widowed, he barely knows what to do with his life. So you see him looking for a new wife already barely three months after loosing the "useless wife". Marriage truly does not benefit men. Una go dey alright by God's grace.
It's primarily for domestic work/house chores. So, relax
jazzman7711: The 1.4 billion dollar 2nd Niger Bridge Buhari built for you people, what did he get but abuse?
You're even lucky he built the bridge that PDP refused to build for 16 years.
If I were him I would have used that money to build something more useful to the country.
Worthless things.
Which Buhari built 2nd Niger bridge, you useless creature?
The contract was already awarded before his unfortunate administration and was funded through a PPP program and will be heavily tolled for funds recovery.
The funds were never from the FGs coffers, unlike the ones in your own region that were funded through our collective wealth.
Hate-filled animals that don't want to hear about secession, yet can't live in a just and fair manner with the same group
Something is definitely wrong you bastards and this bizarre situation is why the country can't progress.
Your corrupt and clueless drugbag has filled his administration with only the yorubas, let's see how he will succeed in a multi-ethnic country like Nigeria with that level of ethnic bigotry.
You gather your ethnic group to work with, the others will pull you down. The country will keep going round and round with no progress and unity until you senseless creatures learn the meanings of justice, fairness and equity.

Ladydee30: Hi everyone pls I have a question about the Japanese visa…. I applied on Wednesday and all my documents where complete and well submitted but few minutes after leaving the embassy I got an email from the embassy saying all documents are complete except I didn’t attach the COE application form to the other supporting documents used to obtain my COE from my employer, that I need to attach that so I replied to them saying my employer applied for my COE online hence there was no physical application form but I did attach the receipt of the application that was sent from the immigration saying my application was received and is being processed but I can’t help but worry if that will affect my chances of getting the visa
And also my employer has to reach out to the immigration if they could issue an application form but they said that would take one month so right now we are just waiting for the final verdict from the embassy. should i be scared or worried.
I will appreciate any response that would help pls
But it was the Lagos state govt that built the railway.
Did anybody tie your state governor's hand?
Or they don't they receive federal allocation like others?
Have your governors finished building mansions in Texas, before worrying about building railway networks?
Stupid idiot.
Lagos state govt also built your useless father as well, not only railway. Were you dead when Buhari was building railways in the southwest and north?
You think calling any real Igbo man IPOB is a curse? You're such a senseless cockroach!
With the level of marginalisation of the Igbo region in Nigeria and the inborn hatred you horrible creatures have for the people, any real and sensible Igboman would be glad to identify with IPOB
IPOB is the only Igbo group that's boldly fighting against the perennial marginalisation your useless fathers created and are still perpetuating.
Pending: I am reflecting on my life, and just can’t but wonder how jealousy is a self-defeating trait most people possess.
It happens that I lost my parents at a tender age (mostly relating to spiritual attacks from those who don’t want my dad’s progress, and my mum follow soon afterward)
My dad mum had only two male children for my grandad, so we literally have only one man left to call a dad. But, he lives far away in a different city at that time, so my maternal grandmother took us in and we live in the village with her.
However, my uncle does send money for our education, but I think the money is not always accounted for so my uncle’s wife pressure her husband to bring us over. She loved us very much then and took us like her children.
However, something happened that will change my experience living with them.
My uncle is a man that dreams, and his dream does come to pass. So, he dreamt that I grew up to be very successful to the extent that his children all depended on me.
He told his wife, and a new type of demon enter into her. She became a devil.
I once overheard her fighting with her husband over the dream. She so much insulted him, saying he shamelessly dreamt that his brother children succeed over his children and he is happy about it.
She changed towards me in particular. She so much hated me and did everything possible to make me feel like an imposter. We the children all live together like siblings and love each other, but she sowed discord among us.
She didn’t want me to continue with my education if she had her way, but God always help me and I at least finish my secondary education over there.
She even go naked to tempt me.
There was a time she stopped sleeping in her husband room and came to sleep in our room instead. She will have her bath and put on wrapper that will later come loose in the middle of the night.
I am the type that always wake up at night to urinate, so I do see her lying naked, but will ignore believing she got careless from tying only wrapper to sleep. However, I got to know it was a trap to implicate me when she one day vouch for me that I am not a pervert when we had a female visitor that was to use our room.
Those are some of the things she did. But, I scaled through. However, I began to challenge her as I grow older, and scared that she no longer have control over me finally have a way to send me back to my mother’s people. My brother left soon after on his own because we were literally being treated like a slave in our own uncles house.
I enter the street on my own, did a lot of menial job and use my educational knowledge to learn a digital skill, which finally pave way for me to be independent.
Although, I am still struggling, I believe all will get well some day.
Now, back to the self defeating trait I said initially.
Her children are currently in higher institutions (I also hope to gain admission this year by God’s grace, and I believe God will see me through). But her worst fear is already coming to pass.
The economy is currently not smiling on anyone, so she can’t always send money to her children in school. When they are in need, they contact me. Although I don’t have much myself, but I always have some savings whenever I work, and I send the little I have.
However, is it not better if she has supported me from the beginning?
The reason I am still struggling is because I had zero support. I had to fix my mental health (which I am grateful for sending me the right help) deal with the cold outer world and manage to utilize the little resources I have to start providing my digital skill.
But if I have the right support, I would have grown really fast. And everyone will be more comfortable, because I can’t ignore my siblings if they need my help.
The whole jealousy stuff is just self defeating in my opinion.
You're right in your conclusion about jealousy The truth is that it is part of the human nature, and unfortunately, it cannot be eradicated no matter how much we would want to.
Meanwhile, how did you conclude your parents were killed through spiritual attacks by the enemies?? I never believe in such bizarre stuffs, because no human alive has such powers, otherwise, the jealousy that formed the core of your write-up wouldn't exist in the first place.
Humans are naturally jealous because that's all they can do; they do not have any supernatural power to effect their wishes. If they had, they wouldn't waste their time merely being jealous.
ELKHALIFAISIS: I made same mistake and I have learnt my lesson.. I made this young man over 3 years ago and i told him about my plan of developing my second home, 5 rooms ensuite... He has been pestering me to start start start but I still insist I must be there before I start anything, I came back last year meet this motherfucker but due to limited timing I didn't start... Last 2 months he's on my neck to start , I told him.... We are already In rainy season let's wait till November that am not in hurry but he keeps gingering me until I said ok, oya I will pay u from foundation to deck leveling... You bring Ur worker I bring materials. He charged me 2.5m which we later agreed to 2m but with condition I will pay after completion of each stages, he refused I must pay him at least half of the money , since I paid this guy the only time he visited that side is when they are marking the land for foundation, and when they are forming foundation block.... He disappeared, only on phone he gives order.... They work today and in next few days they will not work,..... Out of 110 bags I bought 11 have kicked, the foreman handling the job has abandoned the work because he's owning labourers and not even paying anyone and when I asked him he will say he will pay them when they finish, for over 7 weeks now they are still in foundation levels, everyday am calling , threating , shouting , I'm losing it because i never expect it this way being young guy for that matter..... Am thinking of abandoning this project because its giving me hard time.. even the culvert he do for me with 500k has collapsed and when I told him he started laughing and said we will do another one ....
If you're not in Nigeria, never engage and pay a Nigerian worker directly I learnt that during my first project Best way is to go through a reliable relative or friend who's very close to you. This person will bear the responsibility of selecting the worker(s), monitoring and paying them. That means you will be paying through him. If you don't have such a person, don't bother starting anything until you're fully available. Once an average Nigerian worker knows you're not within the country to monitor or chase him/her around, it's over, bro.
alizma: The moment you tell me you paid in full before the work commences, I become careful when it comes to trusting you with valuable things. This is not because you are bad but because you still lack significant knowledge of what real life is all about. This is not the time to become emotional, this is money we are talking about and in real life, no single individual will tell you that he likes working for working sake. People work basically in exchange for something in view and once that thing (money or commodity) is no longer in view, working becomes a kind of punishment or even consider a kind of 21st century slavery.
Toluwalase12345: That shouldn't stop one to pay in full if the full money is in the account. It also reduce stress and headache for the one that own the job.
It's not true,please
Paying in full, especially to a Nigerian worker/artisan, will cause you more stress and headaches
gbengene1234: Are you duly informed about what brought this war? When you're been pushed to the corner, won't you resist your oppressor even if you know you have less chances of winning. Atleast, you'd put up a fight so that the whole world can be informed and come to your aid. My problem with the Hamas was why the jubilation over a small victory when you know the repercussion of what you did will be greatly severe. Indeed, the Israeli had taught them a great lesson and it's high to they too shield their swords. Been a Christian is not why you shouldn't advocate for peace for the benefits of the both parties regardless of anyone been a superior in the war.
I should be asking you that.
I know every tiny bit of the histories of islam and the Jews from the 7th century when Islam was created till date
And i'm sure you are one of those who cut and joined the history from 1948, hence the reason you're referring to the jews, who have suffered so much hatred, displacement and deaths since the creation of islam, as the oppressors.
