They have not placed an order for A220 and it takes about 2 years between a firm order and delivery. They are starting out with ATR-72 turbo props.

Nightalan:
The most interesting prospect to watch out for is Green Airlines. Those guys are definitely up to something big.

Hinokami:
A340 will soon be outdated.. They should go for 737 and A220 since its local flights.

I am buying from first express aluminum manufacturing co. LTD.

One of the biggest aluminum companies in nnewi


They are going to install it themselves

kopell:
Why, I have it on one of mine building since 2016 no single leak till date. The corrugation may be the problem, though I brought mine directly from first aluminum in Lagos.

Petyprincess:
Actually it depends on many factors,the airport used etc
Just know you should budget at 2500 dollars.

I did two covid 19 test in Nigeria because kenya and Mauritius demanded different dates of test which 50,400 each.

You should know the cheapest fee for booking in at a government designated hotel for hotel is 1300 dollars depending on the hotels the higher the cost. They are 3,4 and five star hotels, mine is 4 star so it's definitely more than 1300 dollars.

Please note the payment covers, food, tests including three covid 19 tests you will undergo when you get to Mauritius which is first day of landing,7th day and last day of quarantine.

The flight cost depends on your taste, and the period.

Please make sure to check Mauritius travel guide because the laws changes everytime which might include price etc.

it takes approximately 48 hours to complete the coupling.

With nkwobi I believe?

I believe lessons have been learned and other people would appropriately word their statements and hopefully their views too. That's the main essense of the talk.

jedisco:
The post you referenced was one the young man had edited. I have quoted his original post. Look at those who replied him earlier and you'd see the difference.




This issue has dragged on for a reason. But then it's surprising some folks don't see nothing wrong with certain statements. A very good way of checking if a statement is discriminatory is by inserting a word that describes your person and see if it still hurts.

From his initial post, I'd give certain examples with blank spaces. Fill them in with a personal word and see if it's right.

E.g
I know all races have people of low IQ but we need to be weary of ____ race
I know all Nigerian ethnicities have ugly people but we need to be weary of ______
I know all Nigerian ethincities have poorly trained youths but we need to be weary of ____

You can go on and on. How anyone can justify such statement is truly surprising. Of course he cheekily did not name an ethnicity but even a 3 year old knows what he meant. If folks did not quickly stand up to that statement, some others would have been happy to cherry pick more examples to paint people of that ethnicity in a bad light.

What's more annoying is when you call out such statements, people defend their stance by saying I have bought goods from someone from that ethnicity therefore I'm not a tribalist. Or my cook is from that ethnicity therefore I'm not a tribalist. Sounds familiar? Even Shekau can give such examples to excuse terrorism.

Abroad where he says he's coming from, if such statements are made in reference to him as a Nigerian or a black man, he would rightly regard it as racial profiling or racism. But the little man is here playing ostrich.

There's a difference between being matured and being a baby. I don't need an apology but if he saw the need to edit his post, that means he knows he erred. Maturity is being a bigger man and owning up to ones faults. We all make mistakes.

My point is simple- what's wrong is wrong and there's no excusing it. You were duped by one person does not mean you drag a whole ethnicity into it.

You can keep sounding self righteous because you already had the plan to blame someone else for your laxity. You failed to count your goods and you are here still blaming the seller when you should have turned back the truck at the road to recount.

I hate it when people come online to spread hate because of their own failure to do the right things. A nairalander even offered you lower prices, but noooo, you must go buy from those whom you don't like, whom you claimed had cheated you many times just to come and cry here?

It may actually be a human response. I can spot 1 difference. The Dear Sir/ma in my response is replaced with your name.

Nigerian ingenuity, these guys are now converting 1924 Mercedes trucks to tippers. They do this by building a bigger bucket for the truck locally, then fitting the trucks with tipping mechanism after upgrading the engine functions. They do all these locally. The trucks are now popular and supplies sand and stones to many locations in the east.

Enyinne:
You can try to paint ur image differently , its a known fact about some Nigerian artisans trying to cheat and steal raw materials at site. We hv a bad image already that we can only try to redeem by simple change of attitude in the business world . Note : dont think ur the only Nigerian abroad or well traveled , i hv also traveled well enough to countries and hv my own perspective to this things. The said client of his is a Nigerian resident in Usa , bought 980 sheets of which only 600 was used,the Nigerian was shocked and expressed his displeasure to the roof seller who narrated this story to me and advised me to secure my roofing sheet tightly to avoid being stolen , So calm down , we all know ourselves and typical behaviors.

diordaves:
Maybe Nigerians abroad. Majority of home base artisans and contractors are a different specie. Nothing wey you go tell me.

Enyinne:
After making money from u as a customer ,they will steal goods from u too . I thank God i was connected to a Chinese company to import from China Shingles stonecoated at a much cheaper price and higher quality .The Chinese man was lamenting how carpenter steals roofing sheets on site as his customers complains to him .Nigerian are known for evil worldwide. Please guide ur roofing sheet with all security to minimize loss.

Bettycars:
It is sad. The decision caught me unaware. I wish they reverse their decision as soon as possible

Bettycars:
This directive is so disheartening and came just on very short notice. I am very sad to hear this.
I wish all of us could boycott these shipping companies so they would reconsider their position.

Bettycars:
Pls I just found out that Sallaum don’t allow loaded vehicles anymore. So it would be Grimaldi

valencia2012:

Much thanks!
Withing Enugu/Ebonyi axis, can you recommend a reputable dealer?

spyder880:
The splashes on the walls are old, some happened before the concrete flooring because of two reasons,

1. There was no water collector channels, so the water just hit the ground and splashed on the walls.

2. The filling sand used is a deep reddish brown colour, making the splashes more pronounced.

Other splashes happened much later, after the painting of the walls because;

1. Another filling was done with imported top soil, rich in manure which was placed in the flower beds to aid flower and plants growth.

2. We shouldn't have painted the outside walls during the rains knowing that we are using white all through, (I warned about this then) I had planned to do the outside walls later, notice that these splashes didn't happen on the fence, I painted the fence after the rains, by the time the rains will return next year, the flowers would have grown to cover the place.

I know that the walls wouldn't have been splashed this much if we placed the water collectors before the painting of the outside walls. Painting the lower portion with glossy paints might be a temporary fix, but since we had painted the outside colour with matt, glossy paints might peel after two years since its sitting on matt and not on wall primers.

The option of tiling that lower portion is also good, it will require some new costs in this era of rising cement and tiles costs. I will talk to my clients about it.

Thank you for your contributions Sir, your points are well noted.

spyder880:
Good morning Sir, I had the plans to paint the lower portion with a different colour when I started this building, I even placed the belts at a height to separate my lower colour with the paint for the rest of the house. It was the decision by my clients to fill up the compound so we can redirect rain water flow to the outside that swallowed the lower portion of the house. (See attached pictures of my wall separator as we were still building, see how high it was.)

Tiling the lower portion is good, but some people dont like the different look, when compared to painting the lower portion, also consider the cost of extra tiles round such a big house. The rain water issue on the lower walls was a temporary issue, made worse because of the type of brown sand that was used on filling the flower bed when the rains were still falling heavily in the rainy season. I had wanted to delay that painting till the rains stopped, I am sure the staining cannot happen next rainy season if the flowers grow enough to absorb some of the impact of the rain hitting the ground around the walls. Then again, my clients agreed to install the water collector much later, if we had put the water collector when it was raining, the water would have been channelled away from the walls.

The good news is that I have bought paints and we plan to repaint the lower portion with gray. Now would have been the proper time to paint thie whole outside walls, not then.

Thanks for your suggestions Sir, I appreciate your inputs a lot. Happy weekend Sir.
