One of the problems of Nigeria, are the supposedly "educated elite" who are too quick to jump around trying to justify this perfidy! Most of them are as corrupt as the decisions of their boss they tend to justify and they are mostly looking for an opportunity to be called to "come and chop". I repeat, in America and in Europe, in advanced countries in Asia, people still use cash at the Toll Gates. If you dont have tags, you simply chose either the no-Change lane or the "pay with Change" lane. But these fools in Nigeria will just wake up one day and tell you if you dont hava a tag, you cant pass. Everything they do, must be by force and threat What these fools forget is that there might be "people on transit", say a foreigner just passing through the Toll, say once or a "to-fro" journey and is not in a position to acquire a tag (If you are travelling say from the UK to France, by road, you will pass through a number of Tolls in different countries. Such people use the cash lanes of a toll plaza. Imagine if each country says you cant pass, unless you have an E-tag! Imagine the chaos this will cause!!. One day sha, their Goat will fo to the market and will not return home. I see one of their hnagers-on here trying very hard to justify the stupidity of this effort by his Bourdillon master's company. Too many daft and unrependant educated m0r0ns in Nigeria |
EponOjuku:Thank you jare! Even in advanced countries that have betetr roads and better toll system, there are still lanes for cash payment, even with change to collect. This criminals LCC company of Tinubu has not done anything spectacular on the Lekki road since it started collecting money on it, yet it keeps increasing the toll fee regularly. Yet it was our Tax money that Tinubu loaned his compnay to build the toll gate, how greedy can some people be, ehn? I dont blame these criminals sha, l blame the docility of Nigerians, which is as a result of their selfishness. The day #RevolutionNow will start, they will need to arrest more than Sowore, they would have to arrest millions of Nigerians who are ready to die, because they are already dead, literally. And they themselves will not survive it, that is certain. |
jabolo:Nigerian love Titles, even if they have nothing to show for the titles. ![]() Small time now, we will have: Hsw Titilayo (Housewife) Hbd Nanmdi (Husband) ...as titles. What l was expecting people to be asking is: *`What is their terms of reference? * What recourse to justice, do people whose property are demolisehd, from this committee? * Can this committee reduce the excessive approval bill potential home owners are faced with, by the Building Control Agency? * As an Appeals Committee, what do the public need to do, to appeal t this committee..are there conditions, etc * Does the Committee have a website where pertinent information can be sourced so people can appeal to them in a timely and efficient manner Anyway, this is Nigeria, we are always concerned about the mundane while we are crowned the happiest people on earth and the poverty capital of the world, simultaneously!

sgtponzihater1:Rental value is dependent on location: Good location, Good rental value, like centre of town! Price of land is also dependent on location; Good location, Expensive price. Infact, in some place in Eti-Osa LGA, a plot of land goes for #35million (around Chevron, Lafiaji, e.t.c) and in other places it goes for as high as #70million (Banana Island Estate, if you will even get someone to sell to you!) In Ebute metta area, a Plot of land on Old Yaba Road, Herbert Macaulay, Muritala Mohammed road, goes for as high as #40million - #80million, depending on your actual location, whether it is a corner piece or has contigous plots that can be used by a bank, e.t.c ![]() Meanhwile, there are places not too far from there, like Shomolu, Iwaya, Abule oja, etc that still sell for #20million per plot and possibly lower, if it is "deep inside". But if l buy a Plot of land on Herbert macaulay Road for #40Million and you buy your own at Ikorodu for say #2Million and we both build identical flats on it. My own 2-Bedroom flat on H/Macaulay will rent out for no less than #800K/annum while your own will rent out at no more than #180K/annum. We will both get back what we invested, in probably the same number of years. ![]() So you see, it is a matter of garbage-in, garbage-out. What you see is what you get (WYSWYG), as we say in Corporate I.T As an investor, you have to make your choice on where you want to play in the market ![]() |
raymondFirstborn:it all depends on the area. there are even some places in Ikorodu where you will beg tenant to come and live in your house so that it is not left empty otherwise it will be vandalised. Good rental value is only achievable in centre of towns. Ikorodu is a very big division of lagos, ifnot the biggest. |
topsy23:It is very unfortunate, that the spambot is banning it! ![]() Can you do us the favour by posting is as an attachment in PDF or just snap the pages and aspictures and attach it to oyur post, so as to avoid the spambot? That would be nice to see.` I am aware that one can calculate load for each appliance (VA in Kilowatts) and use that to calculate the thickness of wire required to carry the current equivalent to such load, within appreciable tolerance) but l just dont want to go into such details with the poster but rather gave a "general, rule of thumb" advice that will still work. |
Nero2424:I understand you but your worries are unfounded ..and l will explain. 10mm will conviniently do all those things you mentioned. I use all those things you mentioned, have a large family and because l also have an alternative source of Power, my electricity is always-on, 24/7. And my internal wiring is also 10mm. The key to the Power Scalability you are concerned about, is to wire your building such that heavy-duty equipments dont share the same line of wore. For example, l wont join the terminal/socket box of my Electric Boiling Kettle, Iron and Microwave (even though thi sone is used intermitently) or Electric Rice Cooker on the same line of wire. Each of these items will take their power on separate wire, directly from the Distribution Box (DB). This method also have the davantage that when their is a fault, only that particular item's socket is tripped on the DB. As long as you dont cut corners, (use original wires, do proper, direct wiring for heavy equipments and let an experienced professional do your wiring, get separate DB for each flat and run a direct (from Pole) 16mm Service Wire for each flat), 10MM wire is adequate for your internal wiring. |
rotecch77:The SKY.... will even be below your limit. More Power to your Elbow Sir. |
Samnavy:Anything Buhari touches, turns to BLOOD and DEATH. Even ordinary freedom of Speech, Na death Penalty! |
CoolAmbience:Since 2015, ALL developments about the South of Nigeria, is ALWAYS in the FUTURE TENSE! While projects in the North are started and completed right under our nose. Buhari and his fulani kidnappers, una welldone o. |
phrase:Tha is ONE NIJERIA for you, as defined by that Buhari. ![]() |
OoniOfIfe:Buhari is just dividing this country the more, because of his Clanishness and Nepotism. He is no longer President of Nigeria but President of Fulani and President of Northern Nigeria Stealing the resources of the South, to develop the North. Everything is "in the North", he even ordered international NGO's to operate ONLY in the North or get out of Nigeria. Evil soul, his hatred for the Southerners is unimaginable Aaah, this man was a grave mistake by the likes of Tinubu (he and the whole S/West will leave to regret supporting this man, come 2023). Just Negodu. ![]() |
Rol1:Buhari has proved to be the most clanish and nepotistic President this country has ever produced! if you like, charge me for Hate Speech, it is my own personal opinion, from my own observation and l am entitled to think and form my opinion based on my understanding of events, whether you like it or not or whether it massages your ego. I am of the OPINION that almost any road or project in theNorth is quickly finded and completed but those in the South are negelcted or starved of fund, under this Buhari Govt.....example, look at the East-West road, lagos- Ibadan Express, Port Harcourt - Owerri, Benin- Ore-Ijebu Ode Roads, all are still under construction since 2015! Look at Rails in the South, not a single one has been completed but those of the North has been completed in the first term of Buhari. Most Power projects, including the Dadinkowa project, Solar Power Projects, Agric projetcs, etc, are all completed but not one in the South. The list is endless. And again, Buhari is destroying the image of the APC through very bad Policies in this his second term, so that by the end of his tenure, the APC will be so hated by Nigerians that even if the South succeeded in fielding a Southerner as its Presodential candidate, that person and APC will lose the election and you can expect that the other party will field a Northerner, who will win. That way, Buhari is hoping to keep the Presidency in the North, through sheer manipulation. Not that he did not do anything good but he has done more harm to Nigeria, divided Nigerians along ethnic lines, more than anyone. All Federal Govt Agencies are not headed by Northerners, the military and other security agencies, same. he had wasted over $1Billion, more taken from Crude Oil production inthe South, to search for an elusive Crude Oil in the Chad Basin in the North. Complete waste of money, money that should have been used to build Hospitals (he and his wife jets abroad to treat themselves anyways) or equip Universities or construct roads in the South, instead of loading future administrations and Nigerians with more debt, most of which are looted. Never has Nigeria had such a nepotistic and clanish President as Buhari and never should we ever have another of his type otherwise, this fragile unity will be tested more than it can endure. |
tikristinimi21:I am NOT an expert but l can tell straight away that you dont need that much 1.5mm Green wire (earth wire) Also, is he planning to use 2.5mm (Red and Black) to run A.C or where in that quote is A.C wire? I fear your Electrician o. Seek a second quote from an experienced electrician and compare both. Buy original wires, direct from factory please. fake wire can start electrical fire due to overload or when there is a surge. |
gbadexy:Three Things will make a Contractor stand out from the pack: 1) Honesty 2.) Knowlege of your Trade 3.) Not Over-Pricing your services/Product Gbadexy ticks all the boxes, all the time, l have used his products twice and even recommended him to someone who used him and was impressed as well. i will trust him 101% I have not engaged Rotech before but l have not heard any of his Client complaining about him as well so l am not surprised himself and yourself meet a lot on the same project. Rotech has built his own reputation over time as well. I can only ask both of you to maintain your good reputation AT ALL COST. BTW: It will help if Rotech adopts more Client-friendly pricing model for his customers, just like gbadexy, country is not smilling with the Purse at all. ![]() |
Nero2424:Both will work, though the 16mm looks like an over-kill. He would probably buy you a 10mm for the load and claim money for 16mm, if he knows you dont know anything about thickness of wires. ![]() The reason l said BOTH will work is that if you envisage that your load will be so heavy (five split A.C. Two Cookers, Water Heaters, Boiling Kettle..ALL WORKING SIMULTANEOUSLY), you might want to consider using a thick enough load wire of 16mm, to prevent overloading, possible melting of wire and other possible electrical problems....but l bet no one puts on all those heavy appliances at a go! 16mm wires are usually used for Service wire while 10mm is used for load wires, in residential buildings I hope you intend to source for your wires from REPUTABLE Suppliers, YOURSELF, otherwise, l just pity you.. Let the Contractor list all the wires he wants, BUY them yourself (again, l repeat, from a reputable supplier or direct from the company) and keep them somewhere safe (within your property, like a strong room) and then let him have the wires according to his daily needs, ensuring that you verify where he used the last quantity you gave him, before giving out the next batch. Otherwise, you will be buying a lot of wires that would disappear into thin air. You wont believe that l still have wires that can run a threebedroom flat as EXCESS LEFTOVER, from what l used in running my building, and l did three phase installations all through! These wires is what my contractor would have stolen, if not that l was not vigilant.... and YES, the Contractor is on this Nairaland Thread. We eventually fell-out because his plans just did not work. ![]() Please note: It is essential you buy original wires, direct from the producing companies like Coleman, etc. |
carbon1224:I swear, the future is very bleak, with the kind of mentality of these Yoots! Zero reasoning ability. |
netpro:Like most Nigerians, you have a convoluted way of thinking or thought process! This article is NOT about the consduct of America in its war on terror, it is about the detention of Journalists, by Buhari's Govt, even against Court orders of that Govt! Just because Musa is a thief, does not justify mahmood also being a thief or just because some policemen steals, does not mean all Policemen are precluded from arresting thieves.....anyone who thinks otherwise needs their head examined. America is very well in order, to speak on behalf of abuse of Power by this Govt and its security agencies even moreso that the accused (Sowore),is a Presidential aspirant (political victimisation by Buhari), holds American citizenship and resides in America before now. As for the Surety issue, you are obviously ignorant fo the Law and how the Court system works. A little explanation to help you: - A Lawyer represents a Client in Court. - Judge hears a suit and determines the accused will be remanded in custody till next hearing date. - That same Lawyer applied for bail of his Client - If Court agrees to bail, Judge sets the conditions for Bail, which may include an amount, some person and some assets (property, etc). - Lawyer arainges on behalf of his Client, to meet the bail consitions, by supplying / providing the bail consitions, including surety by money, person and asset. - The same Lawyer presents all these Surety to the Judge who examines and verifies them. This Process is called "posting bail". (Verification involves the people standing bail signing the bail bond, with their identification particulars, land title, abnk statements, etc, in the PRESENCE of the Court REGISTRAR. If REGISTRAR satisfied, he approaches the Judge to confirm verification and Judge signs bail bond and grants bail, by PRONOUNCEMENT of same. Lawyer takes bail bond to the "custodial agency" (a Prison, or any detention facility) and on presentation, custodial agency RELEASES the accused to his Lawyer. No where in that process, does the Law require that the people standing surety must come and collect the accused ..IN PERSON. It can be observed that the Court verifies and knows the identity of whoever is standing surety for the accused as their particulars are with the court but the Court does not require them to PERSONALLY go and collect the Accused from Prison/detention. The DSS insisiting that the Sureties must PERSONALLY COME AND COLLLECT THE ACCUSED, even when the Lawyer of the accused is present, is an flagrant abuse of court process and an insult to our judicial system, inclusing the independence of the Judiciary, which seems to be under assault under this Buhari govt.. In the eys of the Law, it is the Lawyer of a Client that the court knows and speaks with (that is where the phrase "Solicitor/ Soliciting" comes from), because the Lawyer acts and speaks, on behalf of his Client. not the Sureties, unless there is an abscondment of the accused If the Client goes AWOL (just as an example), the Court will ask the Lawyer to produce the Sureties in court. The Judge is now the one who will ask the Sureties to either produce the Judge of forfiet whatever has been used to stand as Bail, for the accused, while the accused is declared wanted and a warrant of arrest issued for his arrest. That is how it works, DSS should stop their "Buhari-induced" abuse of Power, it is bad for Democracy. Majority of Nigerians wallow in ignorance and the way they even argue and boast in their ignorance, is cause for worry. I wont make any pronounciation of the liability or otherwise, of Sowore on the accusations of treason, just because he used the hashtag #RevolutionNow..... that matter is sub-judice already. NB: If you are not a learned person, with enough experience to boot, please dont even bother to argue with me on this but l welcome any experienced Lawyer who thinks otherwise to what l posted, to come forward and argue their position. |
LegendHero:Dont allow those useless slaves from the Southeast to put you on collission with the South South people. They are just trying to provoke you against the SS. it was these Yiibos tha transacked the South South and enslaved them suring the Civil War, all the way to Delta and Benin. Anywhere the Yiibos are, it is always about greed and "i-before-others" and the good people of the South South know this. The South South does not have any angst against the Yorubas, even when the ND was boiling, was it not Osinbajo, a Yoruba that went there, was properly recieved and assured them so much that those guys BELIEVED IN HIM and laid down their arms? Like you pointed out, the SS has always being in Solidarity with the South South and will continue to be. The issue of Jonathan, who could not even build the road to his own town Otuoke, is a special case of one man cluelessness and l am sure no SS person i sproud of that man's performance. Just look at the way Buhari diverted all dvelopments to the North, in the last five years! Even Ordinary International NGO's were instructed by Buhari to work only in the North or get our of Nigeria. With over $1Billion (Dollars) of crude Oil money from the South South, buhari is prospecting for Oil in the North yet he has found none. ![]() But Jonathan failed to develop the South, for a good six years he was in Power, HOW DO YOU WANT THE SOUTH WESTTO RE-ELECT SUCH PERSON, NOT TO MENTION THATUNDER HIM, EVERYBODY WAS JUST RUNNING RIOT WITH LOOTING! Yiibos are the main problem of this country, they are political naive, generally unintelligent and are full of hatred and anger for all other tribes and as such, their decision-making is so poor and retrogressive. That is why they are the last and least on the rung of ladder of things inNigeria, and their Biafruad project is deadon-arrival since 1967. They wont ever learn on how best to strategise.
|
Sagay212:See Finishing o! ![]() WE HATE MOST, THAT WHICH WE FEAR THE MOST! - Socrates. Yiibos fear Yoruba, especially Ijebus, no be small. ![]()
|
Overself:You are one of the proverbial "Ekpa" that is killing itself, thinking it is killing the Dog ![]() If you like, support Northerner to rule for the next hundred years, whether that will suceed or not, l can assure you of the following FACTS: - The Northerners will eventually come and beg a Yoruba from the South West, to come and take the reigns of Power. They have done that a few times in the past, the last time was with OBJ. - Despite your servitude, the Northerner will still ensure that you never smell that Aso Rock till Jesus come. Over fifty years now, and you are still here shouting Igbo Presidency! ![]() - Your Biuafraud and its miscreants IPOBs will continue to be crushed by the same Northerner, using as many SMILLING CROCODILES as is needed. They know your slavery mindset already and know you cant get out of it. ![]() - You will continue to be the lowest class of citizens in Nigeria, if you like, lick the poopoo hole of the Northerner, it wont change anything. Finally, just know that you are reaping the reward of your hatred for Yorubas, when the evil you plan begin to fall on you and your LiePobs. BTW, the APC will present Osinbajo in 2023. The North will Support him, the SS will support him and the betrayers of the S.East will once again, fail to learn their lesson and will start shouting "No Lefellendum, No Erection" ![]()

drinoayo:Na this kin talk make Ekweremadu enter plain go chop YAMS for Germany o! What are all those Nigerians in UK doing sef, if they cannot organise "Yam Eating Exercise" for this woman? Ok, l hear say british Govt is still looking for a way to corner the loot she deposited in their banks. Both the thief and the one shielding the thief, are both THIEVES. |
[quote author-Buhari]6. Honourable Ministers-Designate, in our first term we identified three salient areas for close attention and action, namely to secure the country, to improve the economy and to fight corruption. 7. None but the most partisan will dispute that we have made headway in all three areas:[/quote]WHY would this man keep decieving himself like this? Is he always on drugs that even he cannot experience reality? Na this kind lying make Ekweremadu leave Nigeria go chop "YAMS" for Germany o! Let me ask Ekweremadu,, if this Govt has made ANY HEADWAY, as far as SECURITY is concerned. Or should l ask Fulani Herdsmen or Bandits or Kidnappers or Rapists or Ritual killers or Boko haram or ISWAP? Somebody should wake this man up before he sleeps till 2023 o. |
KidsNEXTdoor:We even have TWO sef! !- The one that issues query and run the Govt as he likes (Abba Kyari) - The one that read the speeches the first one writes and imports foreigners to come and kill Nigerians (Bullhari) I accept, we made a wrong but legitimately HONEST MISTAKE |
vibre:it went from BASKET to CASKET, courtesy of Buhari, Abb Kyari, Dambazzau, IGP Transmission-Transmission, Myetti Allah MACBAN and their foreign, Terrorist Fulani Herdsmen imported from guinea and other West African countries like Mali, Senegal etc That is Buhari's legacy. |
Hanatunde:Stop making up stories or are you another one of them Ipob Yoots who does not know the meaning of words they use? - Bola Ige was not slaughtered (maybe you dont know the meaning of ("slaughter" ; He was SHOT and killed with a gun.- he was shot while in his bedroom but not on a Dinning table! - He was not beaten though his Cap was removed at a function. - Omisore was the only person who became a Senator, among those who were SUSPECTED to be responsible because OBASANJO AND PDP SHIELDED HIS KILLERS See, Ipob miscreant, no need to embellish the story to make yourself look good for what you did in Germany. It is not the same thing |
Rejoice9jaBlog:Is that all your rbain could comprehend in that post, ehn IPOD Yoot? Olubukola Saraki or his Minister Sister Gbemisola, is also not a Yoruba name, abi? Ipod miscreant wan start to speak Engrish to me o. ![]() |
Rejoice9jaBlog:Calm down, stop foaming from both sides of your mouth like a rabid dog and behaving like your miscreant brothers in Germany! Or do you have rabbies nii? You see what we say about the madness of you these Ipob Piglets? You dont even know me in person and you are saying my parents are dead, na you kill them nii? They are very well alive and in their old age and l still prostrate to them when l go visit them, they love seeing their grand children around them and and these children are so well trained they respect their grannys...... unlike these yiibos that use kung Fu to wake their fathers and thoroughly flog their elders to run 4x400, as faraway as germany ![]() |
Rejoice9jaBlog:Left to me, Nigerians, not just IPOB, should make life unbearable for all these Politicians that have made life unbearable for them But for people who would not support a protest, right here in Nigeria, to go abroad to attack just one man, seems like an erratic, impulsive behaviour to me and it can be attributted to their hatred for the "Nigeria Coat of Arms", Trust me, if he was wearing the IPOB emblem, no matter crooked he is, he will eat his Yams and drink Coke ontop. That then to me, is sheer hypocrisy! For those saying it cant happen in the South West, maybe they forgot what Yorubas did to Saraki in Ilorin, during the previous year's Ileya festival. He was chased and stoned and was nealry mugged if not that his security shot at the people |
erickjany:Abeg, if Yiibos will not eat their SWISS YAMS, can they beg Yorubas to come and help them burn the yams joor |
InvertedHammer:So, what happened in Germany is HONOURABLE, right? There are 'honorable ways' to do things and there are "disgraceful and barbaric ways" to achieve the same objective. It all depends on the HOME TRAINING y'all got from birth. Though Ekweremadu is pretending, he should just be honest and accept tha what irked "his family and people" is the Nigerian Crest on his Dress. They just beat him thoroughly for trying to share that German YAM with fellow Nigerians. ![]() |
Rejoice9jaBlog:Calm down and STOP abusing Yoruba people Nna, No be dem beat your elders for Germany now? Just try to train your Piglets so they can know how to behave in the future. The way una disgrace the highest ranking Yiibo of the land, is really o'dikwa risky.

; He was SHOT and killed with a gun.
