Are you a pro. architect?

adanny01:
As far as am concerned, the Civil engineer's job is harder mainly because the Architect demands a innovative job and at the same time not willing to compromise.

As a Civil engineer, i walk away from any project that the Architect demands more than i have been paid or is asking for a design that needs innovation but is not willing to compromise his design.

During my designs, i have had cause to call the architect to make certain recommended adjustments on his floor plan to achieve or avoid certains problems.

An Architect cannot engage me and force me to do his bid. When the building collapses, the architect is never mentioned. Its the engineer that takes more responsibility of failure. Architects are only reponsible to their clients only so never consider or care less for the responsibility of the engineer. The engineer in designing is thinking of lifes and his career while the architect only thinks of a landmark or his clients needs.

When a profeessional refuses a job they usually take it to a quack who will do it according to their desire (in Abj its called Jagwal). You wont believe it but your design is directly proportional to how much you are willing to spend. Say a job is worth 500k, if you pay 50k for same job be rest assured its a jagwal design. In some cases, the money is not a problem but the mental and intellectual burden of finding a solution to a difficult design.

Designing Burg al Arab was a big challenge that several design firms turned down probably not because the fee was small but the final designer had to move considerable resources from all his operations to face this one for a long period. Not everyone is willing to do that. My former employers left Nigeria rejecting a Mobil contract to consolidate their resources on other countries that their governments gave more support. They left Nigeria even when our government still owes them in millions. This is something Nigerian firms will never do.

A trip to the sun is an engineering feat, currently impossible. It does not mean we will not get there someday by someones innovation.

Kenyanstar:
KENYA-TIWI ISLAND

Jigba:
Maybe you could try the curly method which involves using non sulphate products and diffusing your hair with a hooded dryer

NairobiWalker:
Oromos. The Ethiopians on the Kenyan border.

NairobiWalker:
It doesn't have to be your de facto language but many of you will speak it. Many Southern Ethiopians are already speaking it.

Omoluabi16:
Christian? Muslim? Rastafarian? or what....

mtis:
Same as in most crazy middle east countries ....

Omoluabi16:
lmao! pele oh. hati is right though.

mtis:
yes true and i think the Big all US of A is next

Hati13:
Sorry. The Anti spam mostly ban without no reason. I've been banned 3-4 times previously for reason I don't know. One of my ban was in travel section for posting few pics just like you. I may be banned for posting this also.

I will try to post pics in your travel topic. Let's hope I don't face the same fate like you.

TayserMahiri:
It seems they use a software that does a terrible job. I doubt its manual.

lovelygurl:
I know you are ethopian and I know you guys hair types differ a lot. So if yours is kinky you can try aloe vera gel or flaxseed gel or Eco styler gel. If it's wavy, I think you can too but don't use much

Jay254:
Wow! What is your order.. would love to see other cities.

Hati13:
@Ednited, post also the pics of other Ethiopian cities or created new topics for the likes Bahir Dar, Gondar, Harar, Mekele, Dira Dawa, Nazerth, Debre Berhan, Dessie and others.

I know the rural areas are very beautiful, but let's also show other Africans our few cites/towns.

lovelygurl:
I don't really know what you mean with freeze
Is it like making your hair less frizzy?

TayserMahiri:
We call the three wheeled cars tuktuks. Do they import them or you guys manufacture them locally?

genieluv:
