I think all these "silver-spoon" children should go fend for themselves instead of just hanging on Daddy's wealth for ever.

With a degree, a kick-start business, what else does he want from the old man?

The loafer should just fecl-off and go prove to his Dad, that he is smarter.

I thank God for providing me that Engr that helped choose a plinth beam for my foundation even when I could just have done a strip. Any nearby movt or road construction or clay-laterite settlement no concern me.

Happy for you.

Initially, it may look like a waste of money but in the long run, what you are paying for is "rest of mind".
Because the foundation is not something you cant easily scrap, even if you have the money to do another one, (you will have to scrap everything built on it as well shocked

), l always advice that any DIY builder or even one that employs a semi-skilled Builder, should take their time to do a good foundation, even if that is all you can do for now.

Then come back later to raise the blockwork, which is the easiet part of building.

But seriously, we need to start holding the Builder/Engineer responsible, of they do a shoddy foundation that results in cracks or collapse (God forbid). If you are paid to do a 'professional job', then you should do it and be held liable, if shyte happens.

TOKNOW:
Another one. Most of the cracks are from up to down. There are some other small small cracks.

These sort of Vertical cracks are usually the result of "ground settlement" that affect the Foundation when such foundation is not done properly in terms of depth, thickness, strength of materials (Granite/Cement/Sand mix ratio), inadequate reinforcement/iron.

As the foundatin settles, due to the weight on it (or ground movements from nearby), the raft/pad/blinding is probably breaking apart and the sheer forces are being transmitted to the block work.
Result is that if there are no "columns firmly tied to Beams" which can "break" the transmission of such forces to the blocks, it will simply start to crack like Biscuits!
(I have ssen it a few times so l am speaking from experience).

I feel very sad to say this:
It will cost you more to try and rectify this problem because it is a "foundational problem" that wont ever go-away. (I bet your soil is poor even though l have not seen it properly). There is ground movement going on (Is someone building a bigger house with very sound foundations, within 250ft radius of you? Take a look around. They are not the cause of your problem just that such buildings do 'settle' and push ground away to other areas as they 'sink to their settlment point' so that nearby buildings with poor foundations will start 'feeling the heat'. )

If you have the wherewithal, (if and only if), you need to count your loses, pull this building down, remove the broken blocks, dig a one feet down into the ground and do a thick, inverted-T raft foundation to about three/four planks (to cater for future settlement/sinking) and ensure that builders dont cut-corners on the mix-ratios and the reinforcemnt.

This is one expensive mistake the builders have caused for you.
My sincere sympathy.

the problem is that people are not sinking boreholes out of choice, but because the government has failed

i can understand the government taxing commercial boreholes, but taxing domestic boreholes is just abuse of power

i actually see the signs of uncontrolled boreholes - sink holes etal,and i am in agreement on the need for some form of regulation, but the first real step is to provide people with pipeborne water

there is pipe borne water in ikoyi, at least along awolowo road,

people will not be inclined towards community boreholes if the place is not their last bus stop

your average landlord is a greedy mofo, only concerned with rent and unlikely to pay towards a community borehole. your tenant who has aready spent enough money fixing things the landlord didid not handle will not be inclined toward investments he/she would have to abandon eventually

Even the community Borehole is not a solution because the Govt of Ambode will simply give you a Tax, the size of "community"! grin

Water is a human right, the consumption of which should have nothing to dow with whether you can afford it or not.
The Poor need drinkable water to survive and so do the rich.
It is a survival requirement and as such, should have nothing to do with Money.

I have paid over 80K to have Govt water in my compound and after three days, they said their pump developed problem.
I waited for almost two months and since they keep folding one hand over another, l had to pay and sink a Borehole.
One year after, they brought me a Water bill which l otre in their presence and asked them to buzz-off or sue me to court.

Now, imagine if l could not afford to sink a borehole, will l die of thirst or will l be buying from unsanitary "mallam Kegs" and at what cost to me?

A Govt that has failed in its primary rsponsibility, has the gut to start imposing more taxes on people?
What about increasing the minimum wage, so people can have more disposable income and then pay more taxes like VAT, on luxuries they buy?

Really, how much (percentage) of our Tax goes into the development of our state/Country, with all the very bad roads, erratic power supply (even with pre-paid meter!), poor health facilities, poor or non existent road drainage, dirty or non-flowing Water supply, refuse the size of mount kilimanjaro everywhere, e.t.c

Where are the TAXES going into?
Into Tinubu's pocket via Alpha-Beta and that his LCC scam?
Into Ambode's pocket via his/their white elephant projects like Eko Atlantic City?
the rest are looted by LGA chairmen, Perm Secs, Directors, e.t.c.

So, Ambode is just trying to raise more funds for LOOTING and electioneering, now that 2019 is around the corner.

I am a supporter of paying adequate taxes.... but l insist on seeing what it is done with..... not just dashing it out to Nollywood stars in the name of trying to sell what is unsellable/promo

For a Government that has failed woefully in its duty to provide citizens with portable water supply (under Fashola, you could trust that Water Corporattion will give you drinkable water from your pipes, at least a few hours everyday), `this Ambode Govt is really crazy, to put it mildly!

He cant provide Water, yet he wants to prevent citizens from sourcing for their own water by over-taxing their effort.

A lot of citizens would need to remind this A.P.Cheat Govt. of Ambode, come 2019, that trying to exploit us and inconvinience us, is a sure way to his failure and that of his party.

You dont stop there, you think it is an avenue to inuslt other tribes.

It just makes people like us laugh at your folly because you have no idea what these translates to.

For example, out of over hundred courses offered by Universities, because you have "more admissions" does not translate into having
- More graduands (many fall by trhe wayside!)
- More First Class Graduates
- More who gained employment

the Statistics also did not explore how this "more admissions" came about (since Jamb has told us about how parents from 'that side' of Nigeria follow their wards to the exam hall, buy questions or even sit for their wards, in all manner of desperate, corruption malfeanse) so it is just another show of 'wanting something to massage swolen egos'.

Some even refuse to live or educate their "wagons of children" in Ibo-land, it has to be Yoruba land because they know that is where they will get quality education.

Why cant you guys rejoice and massage your minute ego, without turning it to an avenue to abuse others who are doing far better, while not making any noise or engaging in your usual "chest-beating".

Am telling you this so you understand the magnitude of the project you are about to embark on then ask yourself these questions

1. Do i have a consistent and guaranteed income that would provide the money needed to complete this in a number of years?

Problem with most first-time builders is that they usually bite more than they can chew!
They seems to want to impress somebody so they start a "Big project" that they may struggle to finish in a very long time (some even abandon theirs half-way and blame their village witches).

The man in question has saved 1.6M, he has bought land 1.4M and he wants to build FOUR Units of 3-beds flats! shocked

Depending on 'levels' of finishing, you are looking at between 30M to 50M.

Instead of putting yourself under pressure, why not he just build two units of 2-beds or two units of self-contianed, just at one corner of the land.
Later, if you can save like 20M cash, then you can embark on a 'big project', using the land still available.
You are sure of not sweating at it for the next God-knows how long.

Highrise apartments are the ONLY way to provide decent accommodation at affordable prices in countries like Nigeria with massive population.

My only concern is that the state or LGA should mandate landlords to do interlocking stones on their streets. Lack of paved streets and sealed wells make the lives of residence dreadful. I know the tarring of streets should be duty of LGA, but we know LGAs are a bunch of corrupt vassals.

Therefore, a responsible arrangement would be for the state to collect a fixed tax per building and use the proceeds to build interlocking stones street for them. Meanwhile every house must provide a concrete gutter in front of the houses.

Landlords are also allowed to increase collect a water rent and use the money to drill a borehole in front of every building and pump the water into an overhead tank where residents can get water for cooking, cleaning and washing.

While l dont mind (infact, l support 101%) the idea you posted as highlighted in red, l will wonder-aloud, about what happens to all such monies that hiuse owners pay to Govt?
We pay taxes for infrastructural development... they steal it.
We pay Land use Charge ...they steal it!
We pay Tenement rate .... they steal it!

So, whatever we still pay, will be stolen!
We just have criminals pretending to be Govt officials and dishing out instructions on how to rip-off ordinary citizens.

I will rather advocate that we stop paying completely (Gov abolishes all taxes and payments) and then compel all House owners to tar or concrete the frontage (Pillar to Pillar and up to half of the road, at a minimum) of their houses, including Gutter.
Aferall, we still have to provide water and our own electricity! undecided

Nigerians are very far-away from being 'spiritual'.
Spirituality is your personal relationship with God (or a higher being that you beleive in).
Spirituality controls all facets of your life and make you a better person and you not only affect your environment positively, you also have an 'elevated, inner consciousness' that would not make you do all the corrupt things that Nigerians, even the so-called "men-of-god" and Islamic sheiks are deep into - looting public funds, taking advantage of weaker ones, sexual misconducts, ritual and inhuman killings, kidnapping, e.t.c.

Actually Nigeria is where people who are struggling in diaspora go to feel important because of the exchange rate. No one comfortable abroad is contemplating moving to Nigeria. Some move after retirement to get more bang fpr their buck. They still run back overseas once in a while to cool off and for medical check ups. Quote me any day.

Not trying to rain on anyone's parade. Nigeria is a third world country where things taken for granted like good roads, electricity, clean water, etc become big deals. With very high unemployment rate, how can one say Nigeria is close to El Dorado? Even if you are comfortable, the level of poverty and suffering around could be depressing and unsettling. No man is an island.

"Everything has a price" is not the hallmark of a decent society. The price you are willing to pay, someone will be willing to pay more. That breeds anarchy, oppression and insecurity. It is illegal to possess assault rifle but herdsmen are fully strapped with AK-47 because everything has a price. Engaging a Nigerian in a debate will usually end up about money. Money is here and will always be after we die. Do you still wonder why Nigeria is a sh!thole and the citizens are regarded as almost worthless in every other country?

But some would say such regulation is good, to keep everyone in-check and create a 'sane' society.
That is how they feel but for others, it makes life boring.

Like everything else in life, there are Pros and Cons.

In Nigeria, there is less 'regulation' and it makes life exciting, bordering on the 'dangerously adventurous' if l may put it that way but it is what makes life tick.
It is why some people born in 'hectic' Lagos will die of boredom, if you take them for a week in Abeokuta or Ibadan and it is for the same reason that some born in calm, rural Ibadan, will tell you that they will die if you dare take them to that 'insane' Lagos!

So, each one's definition of "enjoyment or living the life", .....is SUBJECTIVE.
Different shades of Grey, as we say. undecided

Family › Re: Marriage Now Vs Then – Which Do You Prefer? by Daboomb: 8:19pm On Feb 20, 2018

EweduAfonja:
I prefer then....

today some silly men are looking for Rich ladies or a lady from wealthy family.

Those type of 'boys' really annoy me!
We call then Gigollos and God help any desperate woman that falls into their hands.

But on the flip-side, we also have ladies that setup their Antenna, not for anything else but to 'track rich men', even if they are as old as their Daddy! shocked

Nasty, useless cunts.

All in all, marriage as we know it in the days of our mothers, has lost its value.
It is now all abou tmoney, money, and money.
Money-go, woman-go.
Money-go, love-flies...and it is not just with women but with men also.
Infact, this generation does not know what love means, all they know is "Pin-Number" of your ATM! angry
