It’s a strong hard wood
It’s highly resistance to weather conditions and has good strength

It’s very good for roofing and furniture work

Borehole service prices differs from location to location...
With my personal experience on borehole wahala on this trend... I would advice any client that want to drill borehole to make use of the Indian rig drillers....
The go to any length you want them to go to.. and their charges is base on the depth you willing to go.. or the depth given during priliminary investigation by a geotechnical engineer..

It will interest you to know that they drill at a flare rate of 8k to 10k per meter... ( price including Casing Pipe)
Another advantage is that they finish all the drilling in less than 2 to 3 hours...
Another advantage is that they don't care the kind of material under the ground( Stone, coal, hard rock).. They break through all at the same rate above...

The only problem I see with then is that they don't do less than 30meter drilling base on logistics reasoning.... But any thing above 30meters ( 100feets)....they are very readily to come to your site...

I did 40meters for site and paid 350k... they finished it on 1 hour...

the same bore site I was charged same 350k.. and took forever for them to drill here on thread... God purnish devil...
Can you please share contact? I was yokd yhey are better than all this local.. We have alot of them in ABUJA but i never see anyone in lagos and i need to do a borehole very very soon

Family › Re: Her Parents Sponsored Our Wedding, Should I Be Worried. by dapotemi: 5:09pm On Nov 14, 2021
Tonero5200:
Hi.

Honestly speaking am really worried, have dated my fiance for sometime now. So we finally decided to tie the knot.
She suggested we do it this year November and I concurred, so we've been saving towards it ever since.

Last 2 months I made my intentions known to her family, that I will like to marry their daughter. Due to the conversations I had With her parents, I told them I wanted it small.. because am not financialy buoyant.

But To my surprise, her dad said I shouldn't worry about it, they are going to support me ( which is most likely Normal)

(They gave me traditional rite's, which I sorted out by myself)

With the traditional right drawing close, last month I learnt from my fiancee..her parents are planning to buy 2 cow for the traditional and white wedding. (I was surprised)

The following week, the hall she choosed for the reception of the white wedding, has already been paid for by her dad which was about 500k excluding the decorations which they also took care of ( even though I opted we could have done the reception in the church)

But my fiancee told me her dad is inviting alot of well-wishers home and abroad to come celebrate with us.both his fellow staffs and all.

* I bought 2 bag of rice and groundnut oils

* We paid for the cakes

* We paid for drinks

* We sorted things out (invitation cards, pre shoot photos)

But was surprised 2 days to the traditional marriage, more expensive drinks were rolling in.

On the d day of the white wedding, I realised, they cooked more than 8 bags of rice ( coconut, jollof, banga and fried) meats were surplused.
Alot of people came from her family's, while my own families were just there.. they did get the message.

Someone even said it to my mom face. THAT THIS GIRL PAPA TRY O.

please, I don't want to sound like am a bad person or I don't know good.
Offcus I appreciate her parents efforts, but am just a little bit worried.

As a man, won't this come to haunt me in the future?
Lol... Dont worry yourself, they did not do it for YOU.. They did it for themselves abd their NAME.... We are westerners.. God no go shame us.. Just take good care of our daughter. Bless your heart.

Barbiturate:
When someone tries to twist your words to suit his narrative, just so he "wins an argument/discussion", you need to end it.

*I never said I had 3 cars......I was referring to Mr Bazz
*I never said I was in a Coca-Cola shop.
*I never said I am a big boy(I only called Mr Bazz and my neighbour, big boiz who still drive )

When has it become a crime to look for job? When has it become demeaning to say someone was looking for job?
Everyone of us did at some point and some are still doing so. I am also looking for opportunities. Even with your car and business, if you get a job of salary above 500k, that still gives you time, won't you grab it?

If you are pained becos I said I knew when you were job hunting and when you joined e-hailing hustle, I am sorry. I didn't mean to bring you down. I was trying to put someone right and also in the know.

This is the last I'll drop about this issue.
I rest my case.

Top of the morning to you all!
You have shown maturity!!! Do not change for anything.

The very few sensible one here will notice that.

Good afternoon and weldone. Again, you're the better man. #Bless you.

2 year used matrix for 800k max because it is manual? shocked
LOL, na naija way, if you give them dem go put 1.5 million, neatly used.

It seems some of us still don't get it that things has changed and the country is in a big mess.

I sold a corolla two week ago for 1.9 million, naija used, 2 year with me, bought toks at about 1.850.

You will think i made profit, just artificial profit because i intend to buy another corolla soon and the best price have gotten for non accidented toks is 2.850...i will need to add 1 million to buy another one.

If the country is making any real progress, i should not have sold that car for more than a million naira, and maybe add 500k max to get another toks...The truth is, we are all making a loss.

Properties › Re: My Landlord Broke Into My Apartment When I Travelled by dapotemi: 4:52pm On Nov 01, 2021
I am a tenant, and believe me we have very bad landlord and very very wicked tenant.. I once stayed in a house where my neighbour was owing about 18 month rent, he lost his job due to covid, wifey is a full house-wife. But immediately he got a new job and money started rolling in, he said something to me in one of our gist, he said "Do you think it is advisable to pay this man (landlord) his 18 month ARREARS or to just move out to another house" .. Your guess is as good as mine, he MOVED out of the house, got a new place and he paid 2 years. He took advantage of our landlord's meekness and kindness...... He left 18 month rent arrears.
From my experience, even if you are earning 500k monthly, you will struggle to build a decent, average 3 bedroom flat, unless perhaps you're not married, you dont have kids, you dont have parent that you support, you dont have bro/sis/uncle/aunt that calls you regularly for one finance related issue.... Though, unless the landlord has a valid warrant, he should not have acted that way. Tenants needs to behave in a decent manner. How would you lock a man's house for months without payment. You no live there, you no allow person wey go pay enter, yet you no pay. You no try.

like seriously, na the buyer dey give the scammer rope to tie him..... Like he was just in a hurry and he was the one asking to pay even before the seller asked.
Dear all,

I have bought alot of stuff from NL and i have never been scammed for once, i am not the smartest person but atleast we need to learn to use our brain..I bought my car from kaffytope on NL, bought a bus from Lade007 on NL, infact recently i got my LG soundbar from alabaconnect on this same platform...I have gotten several other stuff from persons i can't even remember their username.
Do not engage a NEW account; run the username on NL and read carefully, check their post, chat them on whatsapp and ask question. Give them condition and see how easily they accept those condition, you will see the sign, just look intently. My last transaction was with alabaconnect for a soundbar, i paid in full, plus delivery charges because i am sure he will deliver, and he did! My colleague in the office was looking at me and he said, "guy you get mind o"..You see all this take it to park, snap am, give me waybill na waste of time, you will be scammed... Except from kaffytope, i dont know what the other guys look like, yet they deliver...I remember kaffytope was in oshogbo when i saw his advert, i reach out to show interest and i told him if he can get car to lagos i will pay, he did and the rest is history Please, before you send money to a stranger, do your due dilligence, NL is now a den of scammer.
N:B This is not to say every new account is scammer, but open account today, post advert today then say item is in Nassarawa, pls be careful..If you must deal with them, then opt for escrow..If you no buy that gen, you go see another better gen. Be patience.

That's the same person as Bella and the other Femi. Apparently, the unfortunate individual simultaneously runs several accounts at the same time. Access Bank is almost every scammer's choice bank. Call the bank to report a fraud.

Well, you allowed yourself get played here.

1. Bella claims they live in Ilorin, 'husband' claims he just rounded off and that 'they' live in Delta State.

2. The picture of the generator uploaded was screenshotted from God-knows-where. If the item is truly yours, it wouldn't make sense to screenshot it.

3. Bella didn't say anything about being in labour but 'the husband' says she went into labour after receiving someone's money.

This particular scammer has scammed someone here before. I recall the gist, I'm sure.

That said, escalate this to Access Bank. There is no guarantee that you will get your money back though but the money won't be accessible to him/her as well.

T[b]he signs were there from the beginning but you missed it totally[/b].
The sign was there, how could he missed that? The scammer agrees to every damn condition you gave him, that was a red flag.

Most of you guys are just "too easy to scam"...

This is the reason I prefer HP to rentals.
Trust me, that's just an excuse to collect the car from u. Na them Sabi d real reason. That's if u have been remitting ur 30k regularly without complain and or delay. And u didn't have any accident on the Ota journey.
No partner will collect car because u went to Ota at the expense of his regular weekly rentals.
They may have met someone who has promised to deliver more than 30k or they have a close family or friend they want to give the car to. You will get another car, learn and move on. Hope u don't use ur money to buy tyre or do repairs on the car. Cos na that one dey pain pass.
I have NEVER met a partner that takes back his/her car from a driver that regularly remit his agreed fees, obeying all the rules and regulation that was set and agreed upon by both parties before car key was released...You see, partners only want TWO THINGS basically, pay your rent and maintain my car in your care...It's only on this thread that i find drivers paying regularly and taking care of partners car, and yet claim partners still collect car o. Those partners please, are they not in the biz to make money? #yinmu #Keep deceiving yourself.

I'm finally back on the roads again hustling after absence for over 3 weeks. I had an accident on third mainland bridge ,thank God for life, nothing happened to the passenger and me. But vehicle was badly damaged, I needed to spend close to 200k on the vehicle ,I.e whole body painting and panel beating. Note that I bought two new headlights and some other body parts of the vehicle.

I was on a trip when the Accident happened so I made a report about the accident to BOLT ,thinking they have some kind of plans for accident issues during trips on their platform.

Bolt made it clear to me that nothing of such exist, that they only take care of reported missing items during trips. They blocked my account immediately and asked me to do another inspection when my Car is ready.

I asked if at least they will give me a free Inspection after I'm done with the body work of my Car, and their answer was that there won't be such, that I will be responsible for payment of the new inspection.

I regretted ever reporting the Accident to them in the first place. My inspection report was still valid for another 3 months ,but I needed to do another one yesterday.

Has anyone ever reported an accident to Bolt/Uber and what was there response?
So sad to read your case sir, i was honestly touch to imagine what you might have been through..

This country na jungle, no one got your back! Once you report, they yank you off, add to your pain, not even a phone call atleast.

I have noticed alot of accident on 3rd mainland bridge recently, almost on a daily.. You guys should be more careful, try and rest well please.

I lost a friend to BH just recently, my roommate in sch, he was a captain! He loves family, always want to help. If you see the manner his family were hussling for his properties, just about a month after his death, that was when i cried..He cares for all of them! They thought he had alot of stuff because of the way he gives. As if he knew he wont be around for long, he was just dashing things out.
Did i learnt something from this experience? Yes i did! TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, you are all you've got!

GAZZUZZ:
Make , model and year of production.






[color=#550000] Vehicle purchase is a very delicate matter even when dealing with foreign used vehicles .




Foreign used vehicles that have been involved in front impact accidents commonly have the following issues.

1. Overheating

2. Air-conditioning failure

3. Transmission failure.


Overheating

Most of all these failures are caused on Nigerian soil due to negligence and poor handling of the repair job.

Most repair jobs are done using used radiator units which could be blocked or leaking.

Some times wrong radiators are used to save cost or patched

Most cooling systems are not pressure tested after the repair job and could have small leaks which lead to overheating after purchase.

Air-conditioning failure .

Newer vehicles 2006-date. Use very sensitive AC systems which will not tolerate abuse. The use of substandard refrigerant and refilling systems without checking the level of compressor oil left , and finally refilling systems without pulling a vacuum will certainly lead to compressor damage in a very short period.


Transmission Failure

Contamination of the transmission is very common during radiator swaps , especially when the heat transfer line is not flushed , contamination gets into the transmission causing failure.


What to do.

In your current case remote diagnosis will not cut it.

A careful examination of the cooling system , replacement of sensitive systems like the radiator , water pump and pipes that might be failing is important , also checking that the cooling fans are running optimal is imprortant. Finally resurfacing the head cylinder and changing valve stem seals will go a long way to ensure engine life (if it still exists )

Overall find a good workshop to review the work done and fix.

Hello Mskrisx, this oga up here is your right plug to fix your car.....Anyone who is asking you to remove thermostat, change to double cell radiator etc; is not different from the kazeem you have used in the past! While i understand that alot of car owners have used this fix in the past, it is not the right fix...You don't fix a problem by suppressing it...
