When you do things at the wrong time, don't expect to get phenomenal results

This statement itself is a phenomenal one!!! Though outside the scope of this thread, who determines the rightness or wrongness of time - time to marry for a man. Indulge me please.

Who WhatCanWeDoTogether epp, eh?

Sadly I don't have a photo I actually saw that around where I lived while I was in Egypt.
As for bricks I think people don't use it because they think it's expensive. It's far better than regular blocks and has more strength and durability.

I guess I have to ask Nairaland engineers why people don't make use of it. There are amazing house designs I saw in Egypt that I think could only be made with bricks.

Oh, alright. Thanks man.

I was amazed when I saw Egyptians laying foundation of a building in Egypt. A hole as big as a bungalow was opened then filled with iron rods, Cement and Granites.... The cement alone go reach Naija Engineers build 5 duplex.

Secondly I noticed their cement is about N350 per bag and once mixed it gets dried in not more than 30mins.

Please, can you share the link to the foundation of the building in Egypt you referred to? Thanks.

Phonefanatic:
Cement is just too expensive here. And I'm yet to know why we abandoned building with bricks.

That should be a thriving industry in that part of the East where they have red soil or Ogun state but the unfortunate thing is the moneybags are unthinking, they have 0 thinking capacity.

Or is it that bricks are expensive to make? Or that they're not good for building?

If Nigeria kept relevant records, bet you a graph measuring the rancor, bitterness, militancy and growing hatred in the hearts of the average Nigerian, which has replaced our usually innocence, forgiving and humorous nature, mirrors the growth of internet provision.


I know we had a war and politicians exploited existing differences but whats going on is far far in excess of what should be right now.

I agree with you. However, where it has gotten to now, the people rooting for total break down and hostility are much more than those rooting for pacification. Buhari's repudiation of his kinsmen came in a little too late.

Sincerely, I've been vengeful lately...while I am not all out for war...justice must be manifestly seen to be done. Alternatively, offensive and repugnant ethnic groups should stay put in their place.

And yes, I resent the troublesome elements from the north. Igbo Kwenu keep it up.

Mine is pepper soup. She is sweet and warms my cockles sometimes and sometimes, she is mean with her chilly, peppery and razor-sharp mouth.

[b][size=20pt]My advice to every Southerner is to start stock piling weapons and prepare for the rainy days.[/size][/b]It's better to die fighting than being slaughtered like animals in our own ancestral lands. They should also sleep with one eye closed cos they mainly operate at night.

Stamped.

This story is strong....come and finish it op!!!

I am angry but I can change to the Hulk!!!

N1b sef too much!!!

When I saw reject N10b for housing....I was already getting angry....only to read that they want to save N8b for Nigeria

....even then gaaan....

N1b for a house that you'll sleep in for four years or less is too much...what of your personal houses?
It is unnecessary, really.

missKiffy:
To be prepared for a "polygamous affair" is an individual thing, it shouldn't be forced on anybody, personally I can decide okay I want to be prepared for the worse, fine. If another lady decides to live in denial and refuse to accept the possibility of her husband cheating, so be it. It shouldn't be shove down her throat, she should not be told not to get married, Personally I would never leave a cheating man but if another lady decides to do otherwise she shouldn't be cursed out, or tot to be unwise. It's her life, it's her marriage, she can do whatever she wants. It's only ur personal opinion that women should prepare for the worst and not leave their marriage cos a man cheat, coincidentally that's my opinions too but we can't and shouldn't decide for others, our opinions shouldn't hold water in their lives or marriage, it's theirs and their decision to make. So if a lady decides to leave her marriage cos her man cheat or decides to live in denial of the possibility of her man cheating, let her be, it's her life and her marriage. Let's not shove our personal beliefs on polygamy, adultery or any tin else on others.

God bless you MissKiffy....Stop mourning more than the bereaved OP. Until they come to you if they will, it is really none of your business. Simple!!!


Moreover, Toks2008, write the stuff on polygamy...Lets read it.

I wonder the reason God created them and those terrible animals out there. I hate snakes, I hate lions, tigers, crocodiles and those dangerous animals >

When a male, a full grown man dey talk say I hate lions, tigers, crocs and those dangerous animals...what then do you love? Cat, rabbit, hen, hummingbird? Eh? Burger?

Toks2008:
Intelligent comment.

This is why they say my threads are controversial cos i say it as it is.

HYPOCRITES EVERYWHERE.

I see you are selective. Manipulative too.

You know what Jesus would have told your kind? Remove the tree in your eye before belabouring the speck in another's eyes.

Like someone else said, write something else for a change: on business, on personal development, on entrepreneurship...anything else...

Make some other impact in this community...
