Detailed plan

Got building plan

Land when it was purchased.

Surveryor mapped it and we did a demarcation to mark the land

Hello Construction Gurus and enthusiasts

I have been a quiet observer of the property segment for a long time.. reading, learning and observing. Like every other person here, I also have longed to be a proud landlord. So, I eventually was able to purchase a piece of land in 2015.

My intention was to update the process of my building progressively so that I can get advise from professionals here. But some factors have made that impossible for me. One is funds, I started working on the building this year but I have had to pause construction at stages so as not to stress myself financially. Also, I am combining various activities, work is very demanding, Im also writing a series of exams....I am at lintel level now. I hope that going forward, I will be able to get valuable advice and guidance from the professional here.

So, please bear with me. Uploading pictures and progress might be slow, but we will get there

Would you believe that the same Sanusi was ED credit and Risk Management when First Bank gave that uncollaterised loan to Seawolf? Yet he went after his perceived enemies as if he was a saint when he became CBN governor.

lungwun:
Mall 4 Africa are the most useless pieces of poop ever. They call you to come for pickup and you spend an hour whilst they rummage through all the stuff looking for yours. Simple arrangement and organisation could go a long way with those people.

Well, I haven't had that problem with them here in Abuja. I pick up at FedEx office. I sit in an air conditioned office and haven't spent more than 15 mins max.

I use mall for Africa for my online shopping, and reading the charges here, I think they are cheaper. Check them out at www.mallforafrica.com

I don't know what to make of this report, but a sovereign nation drafting mercenaries is wrong on so many levels.

Nigeria Drafts Foreign Mercenaries To Take On Boko Haram

* Foreign soldiers spotted in northeast Nigeria

* South African, ex-Soviet soldiers bolster Boko Haram fight

* Nigerian president speaks of "trainers and technicians"

* Pretoria says any deployment 'illegal'

By Ed Cropley and David Lewis

JOHANNESBURG/DAKAR, March 12 (Reuters) - Nigeria has brought in hundreds of mercenaries from South Africa and the former Soviet Union to give its offensive against Boko Haram a shot in the arm before a March 28 election, according to regional security, defense and diplomatic sources.

Rumors about the use of foreign "soldiers of fortune" against the Islamist militant group gained substance this month when pictures surfaced on Twitter showing armored vehicles rumbling along a street in what was said to be Maiduguri, the regional capital of Nigeria's Boko Haram-hit northeast.

In one photo that appeared on Twitter on March 6, a white man in a khaki tee-shirt and body armor is shown beside a heavy-caliber machine gun on top of one of the sand-colored vehicles as the column drives through the streets at dusk.

A Reuters reporter with knowledge of Maiduguri was able to verify the location of the photo as the Bama road, leading southeast out of the city, near the University of Maiduguri.

Election campaign posters of Borno state governor Kashim Shettima hanging from street lights indicate it was taken recently. The lights, notable for their ornate ironwork, were only installed last year.

In confirming the presence of hundreds of foreign military contractors on the ground, including recently in the city of Maiduguri, security and diplomatic sources put the total much higher than the hundred or so previously reported.

Nigerian government spokesman Mike Omeri declined to comment, referring questions to military spokesman Chris Olukolade, who also declined to respond to multiple requests for comment.

In an interview with Voice of America late on Wednesday, President Goodluck Jonathan said two companies were providing "trainers and technicians" to help Nigerian forces. He did not name the firms, or the nationalities, or give numbers.

But a West African security source and a South African defense source said the foreign troops were linked to the bosses of former South African private military firm Executive Outcomes.

Executive Outcomes was best-known for its involvement in Angola's 1975-2002 civil war and against Revolutionary United Front rebels in an internal conflict in Sierra Leone in 1995. It disbanded in 1998, under pressure from the post-apartheid government in Pretoria to curtail mercenary activities.

The West African security source said several hundred foreigners were involved in running major offensive operations against Boko Haram, and were being paid around $400 a day in cash.

Their impact on the fighting so far could not be quantified, but the general run of the campaign has seen the tide turn somewhat against Boko Haram in recent weeks.

Separately, a South African defense contractor confirmed to Reuters that ex-Executive Outcomes leaders were involved in the deployment, which comes after the six-week postponement of elections in mid-February due to the threat from Boko Haram.

One Abuja-based diplomat said the South Africans were backed by soldiers and hardware from the former Soviet Union in an alliance against Boko Haram, which has killed thousands of people in its six-year campaign to establish an Islamic caliphate in northern Nigeria.

"It's an incoherent mix of people, helicopters and random kit from all sorts of different sources, but there is an element of internal cohesion from the Nigerian army," the diplomat said.

"It appears to be a desperate ploy to get some sort of tactical success up there in six weeks for the electoral boost," the diplomat added. The numbers of soldiers involved were in the "low hundreds," the diplomat added.


"NO BUSINESS TO BE THERE"

John Stupart, editor of African Defense Review, identified the troop carriers as Reva III, manufactured by a Pretoria-based company called Integrated Convoy Protection.

After reports of South African military trainers first surfaced in the Afrikaans-language Beeld newspaper in January, Defense Minister Nosiviwe Mapise-Nqakula made clear her displeasure, saying any deployment would be illegal under 1998 anti-mercenary laws.

"They are mercenaries, whether they are training, skilling the Nigerian defense force, or scouting for them. The point is they have no business to be there," she was quoted as saying in domestic media this month.

South Africa bans its nationals from participating directly in hostilities for private gain. Georgia, seen as a major source of mercenaries, has laws before parliament criminalizing participation in a broad range of foreign military activities.

Reuters was unable to reach the former bosses of Executive Outcomes through military contacts in South Africa.

The appearance of foreign private soldiers comes four months after Nigeria's ambassador to the United States said Washington was not helping the struggle against Boko Haram, and had failed to share intelligence and sell Nigeria the weapons it needed.

The presence of mercenaries from South Africa and the former Soviet Union adds to the broad array of forces lining up against Boko Haram, which has emerged in the last few years as sub-Saharan Africa's biggest security threat.

Chad, Niger, Cameroon and Benin have committed troops to an 8,700-strong regional force. This week, Chad and Niger launched a joint military offensive deep into Nigerian territory.

U.S. and European special forces have just completed three weeks of war games with regional counterparts near Lake Chad, one of boundaries of a Boko Haram sphere of influence thought at one time to be the size of Belgium.

Hi,

I wish to find out how much it would to buy a 2009/2010 Honda Accord, V6 Engine, Auto Transmission and 2009/2010 Toyota Camry V6 Engine.

Kindly detail the cost and how much it would cost to clear and get it delivered.

Came across this shocking video on Youtube.

It shows a Nigerian soldier who was alone, and overwhelmed by Boko Haram Militant.

As he made to get away, he was shot, the militant then ran at him at attempted to finish the job with a machete.

The Soldier got up and they struggled for a while, then he ran away. It is obvious that he must have dealt the militant a death blow as shortly after he fell to the ground.

Harsh reality of what is happening I must tell you.

Moneyb:
Yes they are but not for all the brokers.
My piece of advice for you is if you have any investable funds and you want it to be managed by a reputable organisation trading forex, my best bet is http://marketsgain.net/fund-management-service/. They are tested and trusted.

Thanks Moneyb.

But who are these guys you recommended. Can you provide more information about them? Are they also a forex brokerage like Alpari. How long have they been in business. What are their antecedents?

Hi All,

I read about PAMM account investments on Alpari Forex and would like to know if anybody in the house has ever invested in it.

My experience with Forex fund managers is that virtually all of them collapse after a short while. I would like to find out if the PAMM accounts managed by Alpari forex are the exception.

Are they safe and reputable. Also is the return on investment meaningful?

We wait and see. And Ill like to see you complain about the delay on this thread.

I don't know where this recruitment process is going cos it seems nobody will be hearing from Transocean again for a long while.

I heard from a guy who passed the test. He told me he heard that no rig will be getting to Nigeria before the end of this year. So, don't expect calls now, and even when they get a rig, they will just pick a few from those who passed to call for interviews.

Could guys who have insiders please confirm or refute this information please? When will new rigs be coming in?

hob200: I am an educationist and I run a school and i can tell you categorically they are over doing it. That time between the age of 0-6 is meant for children to learn thru play, they need to learn sensorial abilities, develop their physical and social life and try to understand the world we leave in not burden them with so much numbers and alphabet. Research has shown that it is wrong to do that to a child. If you need more clarification just ask I will be willing to give you base on a professional point of view.

I felt this way too but I was swayed by the responses I got. I am interested in getting more clarification on your point of view.

Thanks to those who had proper responses, suggestions and advice. I learnt from what you had to say, especially the two teachers. Of course I could have spoken with friends, colleagues or associates around to find out what they think about the issue. But I put my post on Nairaland to enable me sample a wider range of opinion.

I initially felt like taking on @tpia, but I decided to just let it go. He made it obvious from his posts that he needs to put up snide remarks on a faceless forum like Nairaland to get high. Such people like him are better ignored. There are others who have the time to respond to his vituperations. I'm sure they won't disappoint him.
