Worldbank should stop disturbing us with the outcome of what they deliberately planted in our country with their economic plan and financial neo-colonozation

if he murdered anyone, would he say it outside. Dey play

If he did and he did not say it, but you have a prove that he did, bring it out now or you are silent till he says it or you bring your prove.

Atlantis585:
Venezuela - Done.
Iran - Almost Completed.
Tinubu & Nigeria - About to Go Down.

Let the party begin!

It so obvious that the searchlight for socioeconomic laundry mission maybe Nigeria after a nearly aborted mission in Iran

What's the big deal? After all he didn't say he murdered anyone or committed any crime

While the killing in any form is wrong and totally condemned, having a CIA agent disguising as a humanitarian worker is equally bad. A CIA agent is most likely working for the interest of his/her paymasters which I believe this man named Alex Barbir is agent.

The regulator is doing well. We must ensure the transparency and accountability of the market players so as to sustain the newly grown interest in stock market and not make investors lose their hard earned money like they did 18 years ago.

BRIC patronizing it's member is good for multipolar global economy.

"No weapon fashioned against me shall prosper" says my Bible

Nigeria should not be bothered. It is a matter of time, they will increase it by themselves. It is just a vendetta move to deny Nigeria oil revenue that will make it grow during this operation with Iran.

He desperately needs countries to save US dollars and economy from being collapsed. He couldn't get that through back door in Middle- East now he is trying Africa. Africans should deal with him based on mutual benefit or nothing.

Why wait till now to call it greatest crime against humanity since these years ( for well over 500 years now)?

Now that it seems they have found a new way of enslaving us in this new age they are now disparaging old way of enslavement.

I hope these gestures will not lead to forced devaluation for Nigeria again?

From that speech, it is obvious that the British has seen a huge potential in Nigeria and they want to be part of it but based on mutual respect and agreement at this time

I honestly do not think any Nigerian President has received this type of welcoming in the UK in the recent political time

Good for our country and it's citizens

Nice one
Lagos is for all Nigerians
Eko ni baje

Lagos is for lagosian and not for all Nigerians. Lagosians know themselves, even though Lagos and lagosians are accommodative of everyone

In any case, Eko onibaje

I don't subscribe to selling to dangote at a reduced price so as to sell to Nigerian at a cheaper price. You can't outsmart businessmen in the game of maximizing profit. Instead Government should better have a way of returning those price gains to the public through provision of more efficient sustainable public transportation system like BRT buses and the likes for each local government area of Nigeria.

Everyone is now seeing how to take revenge, vindicta and make money out of the war now since international community has chosen to keep silence about the USA and Israel actions.

99thEnemy:
It was carried out on the 5th of this month.

Going by this survey, 40m at point 2 should be go for you, and better at 90m. Your best bet is to count the number of rig they dip to drill the borehole.

Please note that this is not an expert advise.

emmy4real94:
Lol do u know that you pay for the agreed meters before they start working? And if they reach the point where u paid for and there is no water, they will begin preparing to pack up

I did one recently and they didn't ask me to pay for all the survey claimed depth before they moved to site but a deposit. I was there in person and stop them some meters after getting to a level of aquifer water and balance them up to the point I stopped them.

99thEnemy:
It is for home use.

The issue with the area is that most boreholes around become dry wells during the dry season, so the person that carried out the survey said the depth must reach a reasonable aquifer zone.

When was this survey done? How recent is it?

99thEnemy:
Good day everyone.

I need advice from people here who have real experience with borehole drilling.

I carried out a geophysical survey on my plot this month, March 2026 , to determine the best location for a borehole. The survey suggested two possible spots: Point 2 and Point 6, and the recommended drilling depth for both spots is 160 meters.

However, from my layman understanding of the report, it seems like water may be available at a shallower depth than 160m. I may be wrong, which is why I am posting here for expert interpretation.

Attached is the survey image so that those who understand these readings can help explain whether 160m is truly necessary or whether water can reasonably be gotten at a lower depth, especially at Point 2 or Point 6.

I was given the following drilling quotations:

₦17,000 per meter using 8 bar PVC casing
₦18,000 per meter using 8 bar PVC casing

I was told that the difference between the ₦17,000 and ₦18,000 rates is the casing thickness, although the exact diameter and wall thickness were still not stated clearly.

I was also given another quote of:

₦24,000 per meter using 10 bar PVC casing

But again, the diameter and wall thickness were not stated.

I also asked how much it would cost if they do only the drilling/punching, while I buy and supply the casing myself. I was told that drilling/punching only would cost ₦14,000 per meter for the 160m depth.

I want to ask the experts here:

1. Looking at the survey image, does it truly mean I need to drill to 160m at Point 2 or Point 6, or is it possible to get good water at a lower depth?

2. Am I misreading the report where it seems water can be found earlier?

3. Does a recommendation of 160m usually mean that is where the best aquifer is, where the cleanest water is, or that shallower water may not be reliable?

4. Between 8 bar and 10 bar PVC casing, which one is more suitable for a 160m borehole?

5. Since I was told the difference between the ₦17,000 and ₦18,000 per meter quotes is thickness, what exact thickness should I be asking for?

6. What exact PVC casing specification should I be asking for:
diameter, wall thickness, pressure rating, screen/slotted pipe spec, and brand/manufacturer?

7. Is it a red flag for a driller to mention only 8 bar or 10 bar, and say one is thicker, without stating the exact diameter and wall thickness?

8. If I decide to buy the casing myself, what exact specification should I request so I do not buy the wrong one?

9. Apart from casing, what other materials would I need to provide if I go with drilling only/punching only?

10. Is ₦14,000 per meter for punching only not unreasonable?

11. Is it better to let the driller supply everything, or is it safer to buy the casing/materials myself?

12. Between Point 2 and Point 6, which location looks more suitable based on the survey?

13. What other questions should I ask before agreeing to drill?

I do not want to make a costly mistake, so I would really appreciate advice from people who understand borehole drilling and casing specifications well.

Thank you.

please I need help

First and foremost, what is the goal of the borehole? Is it for home or farm/commercial use? If its for home use, there is no need for 160m. With point 2 will even be good with 40m - 50m depth, but if you would use it for commercial, you can make it 70m to 100m to have more buffer. You will need to go to deeper if you will be using the point 6 either for home or commercial use.

My candid advise, don't tell them the depth you would eventually settle for till they get to site, keep counting the number of rig that they use. Each rig is about 5m length (or thereabout) and keep your eyes open. After they must have got to about 40m (or based on use depth I earlier mentioned) on point 2, you should be good water for use.

Please note that this advise is not from an expert.

If found guilty, El-rufai may give himself free ride to prison.

The issue is that some of our ministers does not understand how some of these funds works. I know for such that there are some aids and loans which condition includes that it must not be used to finance budget or be part of national budget provision. Some of these 1.5tr loans and aids mostly definitely will be part of it.

Initial gragra statement of every IGP since I was born.

Cyberterror:
I am more concerned about the Supreme Court verdict on citizenship by Birth that the Trump administration is arguing against. If the court sides with Trump, it means people like Davido, Banky W and others born in the US will lose their American citizenship.

They won't lose anything. Law is hardly done retrospectively. The law cannot be applied to those who are already citizens by birth.

Don't be decieved, what broke the camel back was the Epstein letter. He has been accused of different things at different time to the extent that his mother (the Queen Elizabeth) had to intervene and kill somethong when she was alive.

Someone should please tell Mr. Rufai to be calming down in his own interests as problems doesn't get finished. The president too should be told that Nigeria and Nigerians are bigger than him.

Ouch, this one enter o! Namibia people got us on this.

They should be specific and not use political language for us. Afterall they were blunt when they were declaring it bad

This Tinubu government seems to be full of propaganda.

It is highly insulting that a blogger will be the one to tell protesting/angry contractors the amount that was allegedly paid by the Ministry when the Ministry officials are there.
