With the kind sun wey dey hammer these days, I no dey blame engineers and carpenters for choosing this type of roofing.

I visited a friend today in the afternoon, he stays at the last floor of their building. His sitting room is like an oven. His ceiling fan was blowing fire down on my head.


If you have money for high roof, do it. Nigeria is a hot zone.

Build with bricks instead of those radiating cement hollow blocks that trap heat and re radiate it inwards.

Use solid wood as ceiling boards and clay pot tile roofing instead of the high conducting aluminium roofing.

Plant canopy trees around your surrounding

Allow for high windows and cross ventilation.

Instead of cement flooring for the compound, use sharp sand up to a metre depth.

We are not building smart at all.

You lied again it seems lying is your hobby.Abia and Imo state have been members of Niger Delta oil producing states since OBJ time and in fact Onyema Ugochukwu was the first executive chairman of NDDC from Abia state.
13% derivation sharing formular for oil producing states was approved by Abacha in 1995 and this is what a Niger Deltan delegate at the conference have to say about the role Igbo leaders played in helping their Niger Delta brothers to secure the 13% derivation and how Yoruba delegates and the north refused to support it.
In this era Yoruba ronu can no longer lie and get away with it.

See this one.

Obasanjo embedded 25% to oil producing states in his third term executive constitutional amendment bill.

Why will SS senators oppose such and stage a walkout ?

How can you even say that under military dictatorship with unelected military administrators who mostly were not indigenes of the state they governed, that there was anything like 13% to oil producing states?

The sharing formula under military dictatorship was purely based on population and landmass and this saw SE states with high population getting more than any state in the SS.

Also, OMPADEC which later transformed to NDDC was formed by the military to address the cheating by directly setting aside funds for infrastructural projects in the SS oil producing states.

Why do we build houses with very high roofs in Nigeria,
Can engineers in the house help us.

This design is extreme and meant mainly for areas in Europe with high snow fall so that snow will not accumulate on the roof and risk bringing the whole thing down.

But it's important to have an elevated roof structure that has adequate clearance between the roof and the ceiling.

This will help to reduce heat trapped by the roofing directly radiating downwards . A very slim difference between the external roofing and internal ceiling will create a heat trap.

Also , angular roofing oriented towards the path of most storms can help prevent storm winds from destroying the roofing. The angular roofing gently guides strong winds away from the roofing upwards in an aerodynamic fashion. Flat roofing with tiny openings will be destroyed if strong winds blow over it. This will see to even the ceiling being destroyed. In old school roofing designs, holes are made in opposite directions of the base of the roofing so as to allow heat to radiate out and wind to flow through it without damaging both the roofing and ceiling boards.

In the past two or three days, social media has been awash with the news that the self styled Prime Minister of the Biafran government In Exile, Simon Ekpa, said he is just content creator

I have watched as Nigerians made a complete fool of themselves believing this fake propaganda.

The report said that Simon Ekpa was brought before a Finland court where he told the court that he is just a "content creator"



Doesn't anyone see what is wrong here? Do people think court is an amusement park? Court is a place of serious business, not playing. When you are brought to court, charges against you are always read out. The reason you were brought to court must always be known to you, your Lawyers and people in court

But Simon Ekpa was brought before a Finnish court, nobody knows the charges leveled against him, nobody knows if Simon Ekpa pleaded guilty or innocent, nobody knows what the court said about bail or denial of, nobody knows the next court adjourned date.

The only thing everyone knows about what happened in court is that "Simon Ekpa said he is a content creator"


Chei!! When people go get sense for this country?

Simon Ekpa's trial is yet to commence.

His arraignment before a court in Finland by the Finnish authorities was to get a remand order to have him detained pending when he will begin his trial proper.

The "content creator" excuse is what Simon Ekpa told the Finish Police during his interrogation.

At no time was a plea entertained during his arraignment in court talk more of him offering a defense before the judge as the reason he was arraigned in court was to seek a remand order pending when investigations will be concluded and charges filed in the appropriate court.

You are the one twisting issues just as you were part of the mob that said Ekpa had been released and all charges dropped.

MadamExcellency:
If Tinubu (someone detached from reality) still gets supporters, why not?

Imagine people still supporting a CIA Asset, who is actively working on population control through massive multifaceted poverty in Nigeria and people can't see the reasons for so-called devilish reforms but choose to be his sycophant then Bello deserves more support as impunity has become our culture.

So what of the CIA Siamese twin aka Mossad operative aka IPOB that is culling your SE and on a mission to instigate another civil war?

Sense is far from you guys.

herich:
So everyone is a Christian

Majority are not and so SE can not claim to be Christian in any way or form


Solodu exposed this fact a few years back when he stated that paganism is the number 1 growing and popular religion in his state, Anambra.

paramakina202:
SE aligned with the north to kill 25% oil derivation when SE is an oil producing region?
When will you guys stop this your devilish propaganda against the east?
It is on record that SE delegates has to walk out together with SS delegates before Nigerians accept to pay oil producing states 13% during Abacha constitutional conference.

When did Imo, Anambra and Abia started commercial oil drilling? And what is the total combined daily output today?

FYI, SE only began commercial operation during GEJ's and Yaradua's tenure.

The oil field in Anambra owned and operated by the former secretary to the Commonwealth who happens to be an Anambra man (forgot his name) began operation during GEJ era.

This was long after Yaradua was able to secure a negotiated 13% to oil producing states. When this passed , that was when SE began lobbying both Yaradua and GEJ to open up oil exploration in the SE.

Realtruth2023:
In Mauritania the chances of you being kidnapped and sold off to slavery is high.

Dah fck.

Do you know that prior to Yaradua's intervention and passage of the 13% derivative to oil producing states , all SE states got far much higher as federal allocation than oil producing states in the SS?

Obasanjo proposed 25% to oil producing states but SE legislators in the NASS aligned with the core north to kill the bill while hiding under opposition to Obasanjo's third term agenda.

Have you heard any of their elected officials wade into the VAT issue?

I rest my case.

Sonnobax15:

The extent some people take this online beef to, sometimes amazes me........I only talk about politics when I'm online, especially here on Nairaland...But once I'm offline,I hardly discuss politics cuz I don't have such time.........

But then again, threatening someone cuz he or she has a different political view is something I totally see as out of point..

Guy, offline is suicide.

Many people out there were too emotionally attached to the last elections.

I thought Chanji people were mad, but obidients are demon possessed.

Dem sha don dey well small small.

The homosexual macron was a Rothschild banker .

Stolen:
I dont waste time with fools or Ojiofor

Oga stolen , is Ekpa no Inger working for Tinubu ?

Stolen:
I already told them, but dey wont listen.

Finland is not Nigeria, they have no reason to hold him.



He is in his house, just restricted from X and social media.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXURQQDru5o

So Ekpa is no longer an agent of the Nigerian government?

Phoenix990:
Expecially from one particular region that love oil soup

Post the link to the news that he has been released.

Onistha journalism is not a reliable source.

gidgiddy:
We still don't know why you emergency lovers of the South East are drinking panadol over other people's headache

If this had been about bandits killing 50 people in Southern Kaduna, nobody would see you here to write long epistle

Nobody cares about you that hate others.

We are just mocking you as you go along with your stupidity.

IGBOPROMISE1:
A Facebook story doesn’t add up, but that one no concern bigoted Igbo-haters, just so long as they can make trolling, mocking and tribalist capital out of it! A man that’s been accused of murdering so many of his immediate family, yet he’s not cooling his heels off in a cell at his local police station pending the time he’s taken to court!? Am i missing something here!? And this uncorroborated bullshit was rushed to front-page!?

Yes you are missing something and that is that your yeast is a coven for diabolical rituals and other sordid abominations like cannibalism , baby factory and heathen Satan worship.

And these were the same people claiming to be champions of Christianity in the last elections but if you scratch the surface you will see that majority are pagan Devil worshippers.

Spit.

ArewaTech1:
Very very doubtful, if an armed robber can even search a baby's diaper, how were they not able to see the alleged $200 he kept in his socks?

Also, as some other poster here right pointed out, how did he raise enough money doing menial jobs in between begging for food to make the journey back? Same amount would have got him on a boat to Spain.

The OP is full of shit.

ArewaTech1:
From Kano - Maiduguri - Agadez, Niger..

This is the weirdest route ever.

Which makes the OP story highly doubtful

Realtruth2023:
Bro i am telling you it is worse. From Senegal, Mauritania and Western Sahara. it is very dangerous

Mmh.

Didn't know this.

But other than western Sahara, I thought Mauritania is stable.?

Realtruth2023:
In Mauritania, the chances of you being kidnapped and sold to slavery is very high.

They have abolished slavery down there.

It's still far better than crossing the heart of the Sahara in what is ALQIM, ISIS and Bedouin territory.

Realtruth2023:
Dude the road from Senegal to Western Sahara is impassable. Make una dey talk wetin una know. From Liberia to Ivory Coast the road is terrible

At least it's safer.

If it's bad, then enter Senegal through Guinea Conakry via Ivory Coast.

helinues:
Toh

Abeg I wan ask oo, for this December now, na how much would it cost to hire security like the below picture when going to South East for the holiday? I mean for those who are loaded or coming from abroad?

50k per police officer per day including feeding.

Beremx:
na your Yoruba brother. Stop denying him.
Meanwhile, Reno Omokri doesn't hold anything against the guy. That's an empty threat. The guy has even locked his profile.

Even during the height and heat of Reno beefing with Alausa and Utako e-rats during the GEJ and Buhari era, none of the BMC Utako or ACN Alausa e-touts ever attacked Reno's family.

They stuck to unravelling Reno as a fraud and grifter that he is.

At no time did both the BMC or Alausa e-rats ever descend so low even though those riffaffs were scrapping the barrel in their composition.

However, this behaviour of issuing threats to ones life and family members is unique only to the insane Obidient lunatic mob.

That guy is an Obidient from his personal attacks and threats to Reno's family and Life. This is the hallmark of the exocorcised demons of IPOB who sought refuge under the obi presidential campaign aka Obidients. With all that and knowing the antecedents of your typical IPOB lunatic in the Obidient mob and their perchant to create and use fake social media handles using other tribes , I can conclude without a doubt that the idiot who made that post isn't Yoruba but definitely an Obidient.

Pure cowardice combined with ineptitude.

cathodekazim:
My story isn’t one of triumph but of lessons learned in the hardest way possible. I left Nigeria with big dreams but returned with nothing but heartbreak and regret. This is my journey.

The Call to Adventure

It started in Ikorodu, Lagos, where I worked as a phone repair technician, barely earning enough to feed my family. One day, a relative who lived abroad called me with an opportunity I thought was heaven-sent. He claimed Morocco was a land of opportunities where I could earn in dollars working in construction or as a welder. “You can make ₦500,000 monthly,” he said.

The cost of the journey was steep—nearly ₦2 million—but he promised to connect me with agents who would handle everything. I thought about my wife and two kids and decided it was worth it. The goal was to leave Ikorodu with hope and return with success.

An ECOWAS passport which as a Nigerian and entitled to , would've taken you from Lagos all the way to Senegal with zero hassle.

From Senegal you are only 2 countries away from your destination.

You cross into Mauritania and then Western Sahara that is bordering Morocco.

This is the safest and cheapest route.

Ignorance is really a disease.

This is why geography and map reading is a must.

You are going to Morocco that is to the extreme northwestern corner of Africa and you board a bus to Kano and then head east to Maiduguri only to head west by another 1,000km to Agadez in central Niger?

The best route would have been cradling the west African coastline from Lagos to Benin, Togo, Ghana , Ivory Coast then through Liberia , Serie Leone to Senegal and from there make your way north through Mauritania on to Western Sahara up to the border to Morroco.

Going through the route OP described nah one heavy Israelite waka.

Sleekfingers:
Yes.


Oluwole forgery empire is still active. But they do it underground. Credit cards , all countries passports, foreign bank cheques , lookalike passports etc

Really? I thought they would have busted them by now.

Remember once I enter that zone , see as men dey approach me to ask what I wanted .

Bank Cheque? Travellers cheque? Passport data page?

Those guys go implant data page of a genuine US passport on a fake booklet and skillfully put your pic on it.
This was before biometric passports.

How do you know all these information ?
You always contribute relevantly ....I have been on nairaland for 20 years.
A lot of arrogant illiterates.

I read.

Satazaa:
well your referencing the late Nzeribe of him staying in hotels may not be the e perfect example because of the despicable practices of how he made his money, albeit through merchandizing in guns, bombs, bullets and was a despised fellow In his lifetime, such a man without any noble legacy isn't a role model we should be referencing

He doesn't know that Nzeribe made his money during the civil war acting as a spy and informant to the Nigerian federal forces.

That man had no single honour or loyalty in his viens.
He is one of the too many Sabos that made Ojukwu to ask how come there were more overnight millionaires in Ibo land immediately after the war than before the war.

It was his likes that made Ojukwu to comment that Biafra can never happen.

Too much betrayers.

ElevationD:
Leave money to who get him money. Do not be an economic adviser. Work hard, work legitimately, be consistent and money will remain with you.

The late Arthur Nzeribe maintained a room in the Federal palace hotel for many years, paying and living well.

Or you want to advise Dangote, Otedola, Elon Musk, etc how to spend their money?

Live well, find your peace wherever you can afford it.

Nzeribe remains one of the worst humans to walk the earth.

Go and ask how he made his money starting from the Nigerian civil war .


The reason he stayed in five star suites was because of the security .

What will make a millionaire avoid his own house if not because he is avoiding uninvited guests who do not have good intentions.
