Hi guys, I'm currently at the roofing stage of my house. The design I choose was suppose to save money on roofing cost, turn out to be more expensive because of cost of wood. The cost of wood alone is nearly 800k. I need a simple design that will cost less.

Also after much deliberation, the architect has brought the cost down to 1.9M. I think this is a fair amount and as such I'll go ahead with the foundation. Hopefully work should start on Monday and I'll provide more pictures as things evolve.


@adewaleID, Yes my Architect is the supervisor and the project manager. He'll instruct the builders on what needs to be done. I'm not sure if I can call him the builder, but i hope you get it

Hey bro how are you. I'm just seeing this trend. Do you know of what he removed to get the foundation cost down by 500k?

*MYTHS BUSTED..!!!!*

1) Obasanjo/T.Y Danjuma are not kingmakers

2) Saraki is a feather weight politician.

3) Election are not won on Social Media

4) Hatred is not an Election Strategy

5) Pastors are humans. They have their interest to protect too. Use your brain.

6) Buhari is the first President to dock CJN.

7) Election can be done without deeping hands in the national TREASURY.

8. None of the decampees helped Buhari to win any election in 2015. They benefited from Buhari's genuine popularity.

9) All the intellectuals on social media and press cannot influence elections outcome.

10) Filling up a stadium or rally venue does not translate to equal number of votes'

11) Character assassination is not a an advantage to opposition.

12) Integrity is a rare and respected quality in a leader.

13) No one group or person has monopoly of information.

14) Nigerians want to rebuild a new NIGERIA, not return to the same NIGERIA.

15) LOOTERS will never have another opportunity to lead this country AGAIN.

*U can add urs and share.*

*ATIKU SMUGGLED INTO USA* & WILL ETERNALLY REMAIN GRATEFUL TO SARAKI.

In the history of Saraki's political game, he has never helped or sacrificed anything tangible for anybody and not even his father. He(Saraki) would rather use and render them politically redundant.

But on this particular one, Saraki smuggled Atiku in to US under the umbrella of the diplomatic immunity of Saraki's official delegation.

And just as Kunle Abiola also opined; "it is certain that the trip was listed as an official trip of the Senate President of Nigeria, and the delegates to accompany him included Atiku."

I understand Saraki's political superego is brutally bruised, his political influence weakened and his grip on financial means is slackened, so he is trying hard - doing all that seems possible to remain 'substantially perceptible' to the few dewy-eyed politicians which Atiku belongs.

Having Atiku in US at this time makes sense only to Saraki and his ilks who would have milked a fortune from their pathetic victim and of course, some few gullible Nigerians and the political infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of deceit and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.

Will Atiku's appearance in America make him defeat Buhari in Kano and Lagos?

Their protest should be against the minister of Darkness Fashola, as BEDC and other distribution companies in Nigeria only distribute what has been generated and transmitted to them. What sector is even working under this government of the dullard?

Read that then come back and edit your comment. Nigeria produce more electricity than the Fake companies can distribute

*“THE TRUE SITUATION OF ELECTRIC POWER IN NIGERIA TODAY AND THE PROSPECTS FOR THE FUTURE” BEING TEXT OF SPEECH BY H.E BABATUNDE RAJI FASHOLA, SAN AT THE NIGERIA-SOUTH AFRICA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE (NSACC) OCTOBER 2018 BREAKFAST FORUM*

Thank you for inviting me to be your speaker at this Breakfast meeting and for choosing the topic, that seeks to know where we are, and where we are heading as regards power supply.

I think I will like to start by setting a context as to why I feel qualified to speak here and also about the subject without sounding immodest.

First, I think you deem me qualified by your invitation. Next reason of course is that, by virtue of my current office as Minister for Power, Works and Housing you expect me to know.

Furthermore, for those of you who live in Lagos, my tenure as governor heralded the development of Independent Power Plants in Iju, Lagos Island, Alausa Secretariat, Ikeja GRA, Lekki Phase 1 and Lekki Free Zone, all of which were targeted at supplying power to public institutions and facilities like the water works, courts, schools, and street lighting, except the Free Zone which was for commerce.

Most importantly I have visited almost all of Nigeria’s power plants in operation and those under construction, the National Control Centre, all the Distribution Companies, Major Transmission Sub-Stations and I know their current state of operation.

In addition, for 29 months, I had monthly meetings with all the operators in the power value chain across Nigeria’s states and commissioned not a few transmission and distribution assets.

Of course, I am not an engineer, but I have many brilliant Engineers who work with me and advise me.

I am also not an arm-chair analyst. I speak about what I have seen and experienced.

This background is important as context to the matter which you wish me to speak about, which is the real status of progress in the Power Sector.

So too are two other items of context; namely, where we were in 2015, and what we promised.

If you do not define your Goal against your reality, progress will be difficult to recognize.

As to where we were in 2015, power generation was averaging 4,000 MW; transmission was averaging 5,000 MW and distribution was averaging 3,000 MW.

As to what we promised, I stated in my very first public briefing in November 2015 that contrary to previous practice, we were committing to a journey; first of getting incremental power, with the plan to proceed to steady power, and ultimately get uninterrupted power.

I made it clear that our intention was to improve your power supply experience gradually rather than discuss the megawatts as quantum of power, and that any reference to the megawatts would be measuring milestones of our progress in the journey of incremental power.

As to where we are today: from 4,000MW, generation has reached 7,000MW, averaging incremental generation of 1,000 MW every year since 2015;

Transmission has reached 7,000MW from 5,000MW, averaging 666 MW of incremental transmission every year; and

Distribution peaked at 5,222MW in January of this year, from about 3,000 MW in 2015, averaging 740 MW incremental distribution capacity every year.

We have moved the needle forward – I see progress.

This was the essence of my promise to you that we will increase the available capacity and your experience will get better; however, we have not finished our work.

How far we can go depends on what those of you who will decide who forms the next government do when you vote.

You will compare our record of three years with what we met after the previous 16 (sixteen) years.

If you compare our performance record in three years with the 16 - year record of the previous administration in the areas of Generation, Transmission and Distribution you will get the following instructive results: Incremental Generation of 1000MW per year against 4000MW in 16 years which amounts to 250MW per year; Transmission capacity improvement

Sad

Why do you think that keeps happening?

I believe it keeps happening because they are hoping, if they fight for a Candidate, in the long run they will benefit. A thug boss is given like 5m to cause an upraise in a particular area. He will buy Weed, alomo for his boys and give them 5k each to go and cause destruction. So he spend 500k on his boys and keep 4.5m. As long as he's feeding their Adiction to Alcohol and Drugs, they will do his bidens. It all boils down to poverty

This is what they do when they see each other. Make the mistake of wearing a PDP shirt in Oshodi, you might meet your maker.

When I was being slapped, beaten and teargassed, where were PDP people? When I was crying on national TV like a baby, where was Adeleke and PDP? Now they are looking for Fayose in Osun state. To do what? Get beaten again? Fayose kor, Fayem ni.
From here, I don't know where I'm going; maybe Kuje, maybe Kirikiri, only baba Buhari knows and I have sent emissaries to him to forgive me.
EFCC, DSS, Police, Customs are all looking out for me, I'm on their watched list. Only me o. Am I Boko Haram or Nnamdi Kanu?
I cannot go to jail because of PDP, if I have to join APC, I am ready o.............. Gov Ayo Fayose (Outgoing Ekiti gov)

Thought provoking & a must read..

Princeton N. Lyman, the former U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria and South Africa,
delivered a very poignant speech on the panel titled "The Nigerian State and
U.S. Strategic Interests" at the Achebe Colloquium at Brown University. Lyman suggests that rather than continually emphasize
Nigeria's strategic importance, it would behoove us to consider elements
that might eventually lead to Nigeria's irrelevance on the international
stage.

TRANSCRIPT OF SPEECH (TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM THE VIDEO SPEECH)

Thank you very much Prof. Keller and thanks to the organizers of this conference. It is such a privilege to be here in a conference in honor of Prof. Achebe, an inspiration and teacher to all of us.

I have a long connection to Nigeria. Not only was I Ambassador there, I
have travelled to and from Nigeria for a number of years and have a deep and abiding vital emotional attachment to the Nigerian people, their magnificence, their courage, artistic brilliance, their irony, sense of humor in the face of challenges etc.

And I hope that we keep that in mind when I say some things that I think are counter to what we normally say about Nigeria. And I say that with all due respect to Eric Silla who is doing a magnificent work at State Department and to our good friend from the legislature, because I have a feeling that we both Nigerians and Americans may be doing Nigeria and Nigerians no favor by stressing Nigeria's strategic importance.

I know all the arguments: it is a major oil producer, it is the most
populous country in Africa, it has made major contributions to Africa in peacekeeping, and of course negatively if Nigeria were to fall apart the ripple effects would be tremendous, etc.. But I wonder if all this emphasis on Nigeria's importance creates a tendency of inflate Nigeria's opinion of its own invulnerability.

Among much of the elite today, I have the feeling that there is a belief that Nigeria is too big to fail, too important to be ignored, and that Nigerians can go on ignoring some of the most fundamental challenges they
have many of which we have talked about: disgraceful lack of
infrastructure, the growing problems of unemployment, the failure to deal with the underlying problems in the Niger-Delta, the failure to consolidate democracy and somehow feel will remain important to everybody because of all those reasons that are strategically important.

And I am not sure that that is helpful.

Let me sort of deconstruct those elements of Nigeria's importance, and ask whether they are as relevant as they have been.

We often hear that one in five Africans is a Nigerian. What does it mean? Do we ever say one in five Asians is a Chinese? Chinese power comes not just for the fact that it has a lot of people but it has harnessed the entrepreneurial talent and economic capacity and all the other talents of China to make her a major economic force and political force.

What does it mean that one in five Africans is Nigeria? It does not mean anything to a Namibian or a South African. It is a kind of conceit. What makes it important is what is happening to the people of Nigerian. Are their talents being tapped? Are they becoming an economic force? Is all that potential being used?

And the answer is "Not really."

And oil, yes, Nigeria is a major oil producer, but Brazil is now launching a 10-year program that is going to make it one of the major oil producers in the world. And every other country in Africa is now beginning to produce oil.

And Angola is rivalling Nigeria in oil production, and the United States has just discovered a huge gas reserve which is going to replace some of our dependence on imported energy.

So if you look ahead ten years, is Nigeria really going to be that relevant as a major oil producer, or just another of another of the many oil producers while the world moves on to alternative sources of energy and other sources of supply.

And what about its influence, its contributions to the continent? As our representative from the parliament talked about, there is a great history of those contributions. But that is history.

Is Nigeria really playing a major role today in the crisis in Niger on its border, or in Guinea, or in Darfur, or after many many promises making any contributions to Somalia?

The answer is no, Nigeria is today NOT making a major impact, on its region, or on the African Union or on the big problems of Africa that it was making before.

What about its economic influence?

Well, as we have talked about earlier, there is a de industrialization going on in Nigeria a lack of infrastructure, a lack of power means that with imported goods under globalization, Nigerian factories are closing, more and more people are becoming unemployed. and Nigeria is becoming a kind of
society that imports and exports and lives off the oil, which does not
make it a significant economic entity.

Now, of course, on the negative side, the collapse of Nigeria would be enormous, but is that a point to make Nigeria strategically important?

Years ago, I worked for an Assistant Secretary of State who had the longest tenure in that job in the 1980s and I remember in one meeting a minister from a country not very friendly to the United States came in and was berating the Assistant Secretary on all the evils of the United States and
all its dire plots and in things in Africa and was going on and on and
finally the Assistant Secretary cut him off and said: "You know, the biggest danger for your relationship with the United States is not our oppostion but that we will find you irrelevant."

The point is that Nigeria can become much less relevant to the United States. We have already seen evidence of it. When President Obama went to Ghana and not to Nigeria, he was sending a message, that Ghana symbolized
more of the significant trends, issues and importance that one wants to put on Africa than Nigeria.

And when I was asked by journalists why President Obama did not go to Nigeria, I said "what would he gain from going? Would Nigeria be a good model for democracy, would it be a model for good governance, would he
obtain new commitments on Darfur or Somalia or strengthen the African Union or in Niger or elsewhere?"

No he would not, so he did not go.

And when Secretary Clinton did go, indeed but she also went to Angola and who would have thought years ago that Angola would be the most stable country in the Gulf of Guinea and establish a binational commission in Angola.

So the handwriting may already be on the wall, and that is a sad commentary.

Because what it means is that Nigeria's most important strategic importance in the end could be that it has failed.

And that is a sad sad conclusion. It does not have to happen, but I think that we ought to stop talking about what a great country it is, and how terribly important it is to us and talk about what it would take for Nigeria to be that important and great.

And that takes an enormous amount of commitment. And you don't need saints, you don't need leaders like Nelson Mandela in every state, because you are not going to get them.

I served in South Korea in the middle of the 1960s and it was time when South Korea was poor and considered hopeless, but it was becoming to turn around, later to become to every person's amazement then the eleventh
largest economy in the world. And I remember the economist in my mission saying, you know it did not bother him that the leading elites in the government of South Korea were taking 15 - 20 percent off the top of every project, as long as every project was a good one, and that was the difference. The leadership at the time was determined to solve the fundamental economic issues of South Korea economy and turn its economy around.

It has not happened in Nigeria today.

You don't need saints. It needs
leaders who say "You know we could be becoming irrelevant, and we got to do something about it."

Thank you

To render the king useless, he was fighting the Governor, so the Governor crown all the Baale as kings. They too are call Olubadan making the Ibadan kingship useless.

This statistical analysis though...

Its fact, A girl of questionable character will see a guy she like and go after him, while a decent girl will be playing hard to get.

goodnewscliff:
what is dis one typing :-Xits obvious words like BEING and ACT aint in ur gay dictionary!!! giving xcuses for winking guys nd say u aint gay!!! that were it starts from!!!

Idiot, Sodomy is the sin, you can google the meaning of Sodomy because i can see from the way you type that you have a lot to learn, if a Gay person chooses to be celibate, then he is not sinning.

Being Gay is not a Sin, It's the act that is a Sin. If an homosexual refrain from the Act, then he is not a sinner. Gays are born that why, so you can not be a sinner being Gay, but when you Engage in a sexaul act with same sex then you have sin. It is Sodomy that is a Sin.
