It could be one of two reasons. 1. Strength of material used 2. Settlement in foundation beyond a permissable limit. Bldr.
Bea1234: The corner of my room started cracking little by little some 3 or 4 years ago.. now it has gotten to this level. You can hear what the person at the other end is saying sometimes. It's so scary.
Every 30 minutes, I do hear sound of small sand particles falling off. Guys how can this be fixed and how much would it cost?
Minimum wage is not applicable to organizations with less than 50 employees. Those who have more than that can pay.
opeyemi2012: The thing is that most of the people saying federal government should fix it at 615k are not considering the organised private sector and the medium scale business owners. There will be massive job losses and even many private companies will not comply. This is in addition to inflation that it will most definitely aggravate.
We should be more focused on fiscal policies that will increase the purchasing power of the naira.
It won't. Workers salary increase won't.. already there is inflation in the economy with eroded purchasing power which has to be addressed to even keep businesses afloat because businesses need patronage.
kettykin: This will lead to the father of all inflation, bag or rice , beans , garri will cost more than N1m.
Zimbabwe and Argentina inflation will look like child's play.
Nigeria has one and only one option, go the soviet route and restructure into many viable, stable republics . Salary increments will not solve structural issues.
If Nigeria had gone into confederation, the issues would have been isolated
Russia's security concerns should be addressed in order to return peace to that region. Trying to handle the situation from a moral high ground won't work. USA lacks the moral justification to talk about right or wrong in this matter.
There is no such thing as being too soft in a relationship ( expecially marriage). Couples are supposed to be soft with each other except where one has an emotional problem. The lady in question is a slot and isn't the loyal type so be careful about the fake attention you are getting from her, when she gets what she wants ( a disloyal friend of her husband), she will move to another of her husband's friend. It's her own way of feeling in control.
Sixfiguresmart: So, she felt bored since she moved in from her previous base. She got not friends around and was always home. Friends has a tasking job. So, he asked me to call her sometimes when I am free. I call and we have healthy conversations for hours. I am very cautious of any emotional strings. I spell it out to her in clever ways during the conversations.
However, it is becoming addictive. She obliges to certain things only when I ask her to even after declining her husband's suggestions. My friend is so soft and can't seem to handle a tough and educated lady like her. So, she compares me to him few times and wants him to be like me in terms of being conversational and humurous. Her man isn't willing to change.
So, I am distancing myself away from her because it is becoming an addiction for her to express herself freely with me and spend more time with me rather than my friend. I step in each time they quarrel.
Should I continue the healthy conversation spree or continue with my busy shedule excuses?
Lekan239: yes, also attaining greater heights in engineering where you will just be monitoring the technologist and technician is a step by step procedure same as other discipline. A new grad of law sch can't start as a judge, u don't expect a fresh grad of medicine to start taking complex surgeries just like that, you don't expect a 16 year old footballer to win world best. So in engineering there are some phases you have to past through before you become boss that will just be monitoring and analysing problems.
There is no engineer without his/her technologist and no technologists without his/her technician
I wonder why the guy said engineers are just meant to design and carry out research.
In Nigeria, Polytechnic curriculum is exactly same as the University curriculum. Same theoretical aspect. The only difference is polytechnic has 1year IT years why the university only has 6 months or so
acorntree: Engineers are scientist and so are expected to work in laboratory or workshop if there work demand that. Engineering is a team work so in the lab or workshop there will still be many technicians working with the Engineer. Engineer don't work alone as most of you postulate and not jack of all trades. This doesn't mean engineers doesn't work as technician. If the work demand working alone he can design , build , test , do analysis etc
In the Nigerian context, civil engrs don't build or design houses. That's the job of builders and achitects . They also don't maintain buildings. Building maintenance falls under what is regarded as building works. Read the national building code.
Housing: Engineers also do maintenance job. For that fact that Wikipedia excluded that in it's definition does not mean. It totally correct �.
My dear, an engr without technology is incapacitated as theory without practical is lame. Engineering technology is also what you get from University of science and technology. Research the aim of setting up universities of science and technology in Nigeria around 1980 and you will find out that technology is the core reason.
mrvitalis: What you have is engineering technology not engineering
The thing is that no University in Nigeria does anything in track technology or track maintenance. Those who are carrying out those repairs were trained by Nigerian railway. [quote author=wwwihy post=111592213]https://twitter.com/OvieNews/status/1510302895325036551
The way we use engineer and technologist is what I find confusing. How can an engineer manage the construction of a bridge without technology? Who are these technologist self?
harmargedon: c'mon bro, I'm talking engineering here, and not far work. Before you can call yourself an engineer, you must have undergone all the stages: craftsman, technician, technologist, then an engineer. As an engineer, you shouldn't be a novice in this aspects. It's a sad thing that in my country, people who haven't seen a resistor, or a contactor or a variable frequency drive before will still beat their chests and call themselves engineers. The question I ask them is " how many projects have you carried out?'
An engr can also be a technologist it depends on the type of University and training you have. Please understand who you are. No wonder we are having problems with technologycal advancement in this country.
mrvitalis: There is no work so we do what's available
It depends on the type of employment you have as an engr. As a consultant design engr, your work is limited to design and supervision to the extent of your design. As an in house technical staff, your job is basically maintenance and giving technical advise. Where you are engaged as a production engr, you function along that line. Secondly, an engr can also be a technologist depending on the type of University you attended. For those who attended universities of science and technology, they are awarded bachelor of engineering technology while those who went to conventional universities graduate with bsc engineering.
RolexOfGeneva: That guy was right. Check the dictionary for the meaning of the word "Engineer". You'll find out that an engineer only builds. Technicians don't build, they only maintain.
