It's disheartening to see nigeria deteriorate to this level,and it's even more worrisome how people still support and cheer terrorist. This was how bokoharam started in the North now we have unknown gun men in the east. If we must solve this crisis we must see ourselves as one Nigeria and stop tribalizing terrorism. Cos definitely its gonna spread all over the country, at that point it's impossible to tackle.

Agugbadin:
Until ŵe see the Russian on ground I will not believe any story or news about the completion 9f that plant

Lol....u guys don't seem to understand the situation of that mega project. These companies are just here to make money out of the project.
Even if jesus comes down from heaven to support that project,it won't see the light of the day. Ajeokuta steel production is not commercially viable. Due to the following
1) coal deposits in Nigeria cannot be used to produce coke which is one of the major raw materials needed to produce pig iron. An alternative is to use a different technology (direct reduction process using natural gas which we have in abundance)
2) low ferrous content of iron ore deposits. Since we can't use the blast furnce approach due to the quality of coal deposit, we could still produce pig iron using direct reduction process but now here is the drawback, direct reduction process requires iron ore with ferrous content greater than 70%. ( ours here is less than 40%)
3) low exploration of raw materials- so let's assume the germans somehow find a way to maneuver these challenges stated earlier,we do not even have enough raw materials on ground to support commercial operations of the blast furnace;once the furnace starts operation,it is designed to run continuously for over 10 to 15 years without shut down, where do we get the raw material to support the furnace.
4. Not commercially viable to import raw materials- so let's say somehow the plant starts operation and we decide to import raw material to support local exploration,the cost of steel from that plant will be so expensive and not economically visible;its gonna be cheaper to import steel from Antarctica than to produce at ajeokuta.
The list of challenges is endless,the most sensible thing to do is to scrap that project and count our losses. This is not politics but economics, science and common sense. But in this part of the world politics comes first.

PressMyButton:
Does Onitsha have iron ore deposits?, you dey whine?

Everything about that plant was flawed from the onset, LOCATION, BLAST FURNACE TECHNOLOGY (Enugu coal cannot
Be used to produce coke,a necessary raw material for reduction process in blast furnace operation cos Enugu coal deposite ain't " cokeable" ) ETC.
In summery that plant cannot work irrespective of who's in power,peter obi,Atiku,jagaban. The honorable minister should know better and if she decides to ignore the obvious then its gonna end up like just another white elephant project.
Feasible studay has been done but they all chose to ignore but rather use it as a money milking project.
Please do take 5mins read this article and update ur knowledge.

"ASP is an 800 hectares blast furnace facility built on a 24000 hectares land, west bank of River Niger. The project site was not chosen for convenience, rather for political reasons. Iron ore, found in Udi and Agbaja, is 266 km and 370 km away respectively. Coal, found in Enugu, is 242 km away also. These three locations are within 130 km radius to each other. Had the plant been situated somewhere between Enugu and Agbaja, the plant and the raw materials could have been within 50 km apart only. In addition, Ajaokuta is 250 km from Lagos coastline, Nigeria’s biggest steel market and the main commercial seaport Nigeria has had to date. Not only this, it was difficult significantly for the construction of support infrastructure for the plant. The plant’s site was undulate and rocky, and sloped considerably toward River Niger. To condition the site appropriately, infrastructure works had included extensive levelling work, a massive stabilization work to the river bank, construction of flood canals, a river port and extensive infrastructures for power and water. These had meant 21 million m3 of earthwork in site levelling and terracing, 1.7 million m3 of reinforced concrete, 0.21 million tonnes of structural elements, 0.181 million tonnes of equipment, 60000 tonnes of refractory bricks and 65 km of standard rail gauge within the facility (Matusevich, 2003). If these descriptors are isolated, Nigeria has not had a considerable reputation in delivering very large projects with similar extreme complexity before the ASP (Oyeyinka and Adeloye, 1988)."

Rest in peace gazzuz!!!..smartest mech I've met, very honest and kind. Fixed my ride a number of times without taking a dime. I can vividly remember when I came to his workshop at awe street 3yrs ago and saw this sharp toks camry, and I was like "this car is sharp oh" his response was " take it for a spin if u like it, buy it". Long story short, I ended up driving away with that car and paid for it later, he even gave me his dealer plate number to use until I was done with registration. Rest on auto guru.

It is really confusing reading that GAZZUZZ had an accident about a month ago, and passed away this month. I'm still finding it very hard to come to terms with.

I have known him as a car and auto expert for years before eventually interacting with him in the household sales section where we both batttered regularly.

GAZZUZZ was the kind of person Nigerians refer to as a "sure guy". I spoke and chatted with him on the phone for about the last 2 years, but never met him personally.

Rest in peace Uche David Omoregie of Gazzuzz Autos.

Surest guy indeed, this news came as a shock to me. I'm still finding it hard to believe gazzuzz is no more. Such a smart, straightforward and sincere person. We will sure miss u. Rest in peace sir!!!

I am currently constructing a soakaway system which would be in front of the compound that cars would be parking on top. Please can complete 12mm rod be used for the column or must it be 16mm rod?
Because regarding the hike in prices of materials and I am trying to achieve the most efficient and less cost for the the soakaway. Please I need your contribution

Please I'm interested in the cost of this project. Cos I got an outrageous quotation fo construction of soakaway from my engineer .
@spyder880 please how much would it cost in this present day economy to construct a basic "soakaway" for 2 units of 3bedroom flat.

raphemmanuel:
My good people of nairaland good morning to you all. Hope you have a wonderful night rest.

After so much pondering and fear of starting a business due to fear of the business collapsing because of our current economy crisis since early last year, I have decide to venture into phone accessories business.

The reason why I always resort to nairaland each time I want to take some certain decisions is because there are people with like-mind and are willing to give out tangible advise.

I have a budget of 1.5 million naira to start the business (shop rent and shop beautification included on the amount).

Please my good people, is it still advisable to venture into this business without regret, is the business viable?
What particular phone accessories device has much demand.

My location is Aba, Abia state. Any location or place I can buy this accessories in bulk at cheaper price.

Do not focus on shop beautification for startup,channel ur funds towards stocking ur shop with items,as business booms,u can decide to upgrade and beautify.

That's where I buy most of the tiles I use in many mid range building projects. They make a lot of quality products like Goodwill and other brands. But the tiles I used for this very project is not from this company. Another big company is just starting around the same location.

Please is bestwill tile same as goodwill, cos I saw some tiles the other day with goodwill printed on carton but bestwill was inscribed on the tile itself.

Challenge with most imported doors are they'll only last 1 year before you begin to change them.

The initial look and feel is not enough, durability is key.

I asked this question no one replied...if it was Isreali or turkey door people would have responded.. This show that we are not ready to grow our own product. I want to grow the Nigerian economy in my own little way by buying Nigerian made and no one is able to reply.

Funny enough I asked this question few months ago asking for a review of watson steel doors, couldn't get a response. I guess lots of people don't buy watson doors for some reason. Well I decided to give it a trial, although for internal rooms. I got the white watson steel doors for high traffic areas,( entrance from dining to kitchen, hall way leading to rooms) and China american panel door for bedrooms for my project. The steel door feels strong and sturdy,aesthetically the white color is more appealing, hence more expensive. I got the white for about 53k last month, though its a bit more expensive now due to the dollar crises.It can use it for entrance door cos it's a security door, locks from the side top and bottom,although when it comes to durability,it can't be compared to these locally fabricated steel doors made of thicker steel materials (1-2.5mm).(locally fabricated are much stronger). On the average it's a nice door,if u love it go for it.
