Hmmm..... why would he own a Toyota Corolla and not install at least one tracker? ... the park infront of the market with bonus laptop and £200 and other items inside? Doesn't he know Toyota Corolla is #1 on the car theft chart?... for yearsss? Now he is appealing for public funding.... to buy a laptop? Something is not right with this story

There's nothing wrong with the story. Nobody plans for their cars to get stolen, Most times, it happens so quickly that you start questioning if you parked it where you felt you parked it.

Cindy222:
I have always wanted to write about this but I have been procrastinating but here I am today writing about it.

Firstly I am a Human Chimera (Twin Chimerism),we are quite rare,many people have no idea what it's about but I am going to write about it,I can't do that in one day but I am going to do it by starting today.

A chimera is essentially a single organism that is made up of cells from two or more individuals i.e it contains 2 sets of DNA,with the code to make 2 separate organisms. People who have 2 different sets of DNA are called Human Chimeras.

Chimerism is a natural phenomenon, a medical mystery that has not really been understood fully till now.

My mother was pregnant,as usual pregnant women go for scans to ascertain the sex of the unborn child and guess what? They told her she was having twins(a boy and a girl) she was excited. She got things for twins and all. Lo and behold,the delivery period came and all that,before I came out,it was a tug of war,they almost did a Ceasarian Section(CS) for her but as they were wheeling her to the theater I popped out,they did all they could to bring out a my twin but couldn't find any other child.There was no 2nd child,everyone was shocked,I guess they searched and searched.

That was when the confusion started,they said it was a medical mystery. They said I absorbed my twin,This was in the 90's though. I was born with a one in a million kind of birth mark,one part of my ass(which I cannot show you) down to my thighs and lower legs are dark in complexion and the other part of my ass(I cannot show you that too) are fair in complexion down to my thighs and lower legs,people who know me know how it looks like in reality. Below are pictures of what I can show you for now,part of my thighs,as time goes on I will add more lol... . I tried to bleach the dark leg,i tried everything, e no gree bleach...I kuku left it jare,I dey flex my thing dey go,anytime I wear a short gown see eyes of shock,people get shocked because I am not hiding my legs,I cannot o. Some people don't even have legs to walk,so I am damn grateful...Ehen before I forget,one leg is fresh and sexy for a lady and the other one is just normal ,I guess it's for my twin,since he was a guy. My big toe nails are kinda different too.
Weird and scary right?

I have the exact birthmark on the same place too. Could it be that i'm also a Chimera? There wasn't a scan when i was born to confirm if my mum was carrying twins or not.

Katier00:
Wanted to see something different. We all know these tricks and it is not working

This comment got me rolling on the floor. True true, all these things do not work...maybe apart from exercise and eating more fruits.

But then, it still takes a long time, maybe years for one to even notice any difference

PoliticalHunter:
The terrible English apart,this is hilarious

Where's the terrible English? She sounded very very Nigerian.

Most times, when sane Nigerians go outside the country, they end up making exploits.

These are people who wouldn't have been given a chance in Nigeria.

This country has a way of killing your talent. Everything is rigged against you.

From the lecturer that will fail you for not buying handouts.

To the Police that will tag you a Yahoo boy and shoot you on the road for no reason.

Or the Government that always makes repressive policies and will never encourage young people to grow?

Is it NEPA and the lack of steady power?
Is it the terrible state of roads?
Abi the poor state of our hospitals and judiciary?

Or even our 'Village people'?

From the beginning, one is already disadvantaged being born into this country.

We should all clap for ourselves. The fact that we are alive so far and doing well is a great feat on its own.

Your'e working in the State High Court.

Your chances of becoming a Chief Registrar, a Magistrate , or even a High Court Judge are high if you study law.

Unless you want to leave your job at the High Court.

BREYZ:
Adeshina should go and rest abeg, him no even campaign well. Anyway, since they said the position should be reserved for a none SAN, we showed them that we want a none SAN

Adesina's campaign strategy was to drag Olumide up and down.

His campaign team did a very, very terrible job.Rather than sell their candidate, they kept on inventing one thing or the other against Akpata and Ajibade, thereby making the other candidates more popular.

The jokers couldn't even publicize Adesina's manifesto!

I always knew Adesina will come last.

adisaigbo1:
Ndigbo are immune to Covid-19 na.....

Bros, where is your conscience?

It's still very early in the morning and tribalism has already consumed your heart.

tot:
I like when people challenge the norm. You ask really good questions.

Thanks for the compliments. How do you do?

tlops:
Cost and weather are part of factors that contributed to that. Since they have extreme cold weather wood and insulation is good and its cheaper than concrete. Moreover, these countries have large forests which keeps the supplies of the wooden product going and affordable. Most of the houses are built as prefab (built in the factory and transported to site) both wooden and concrete houses are built like this (most). Even if you build a concrete house wood will be used to partition and line the inside. However the houses have concrete and insulation (fuke fuke) foundation. The woods are well treated and can last for decades.

the next questions is why can't we do that in Nigeria?
Well, we don't have sustainable forest, we keep cutting and not planting enough to replace them. So wood can be more expensive.
Our weather is hot and wet so wood will get destroyed faster here..
Security, it will be easier for thieves to cut through your house with wood. its not that the bricks stops the determined thieves.

Thanks alot. I really appreciate.

If we can develop a cheap housing module in Nigeria, it will really go a long way to address our accommodation issues. As well as being a goldmine for investors.

You identified some issues - hot weather and wet wood that will be destroyed faster. With regular maintenance, cant that be addressed? Like regular treatment or replacement of damaged parts? The same way people patch cracked walls and floors.

As regards security, one can also re-enforce the house with iron bars or something, together with other security measures like alarm systems etc.

It may not be as standard as a regular house, but at least, people will have a decent place to sleep.

What do you think? Cant this be done?

Mustiboy:
Pretty much everywhere in the world houses and buildings are built with CMU blocks, because they are inexpensive and easy to work with.

My understanding is that the US builders keep building with wood because it is the most inexpensive local construction material and US consumers are obviously not worried about durability. They also probably lack the manpower and knowledge basis for this type of work so they stick with what they know better.

In Europe, people usually expect their house to last several generations, whereas the oldest homes in the US must be 120 years old; maybe there is something about that.

Houses in the US are tore down and rebuilt at a much higher pace than in old Europe.

In the long run, concrete homes are very likely more economical; they last much longer, they do not have mold or termite issues, concrete blocks do not crack or twist like wood does. They hold off much better against elements.

Still, they offer great flexibility; you can easily delete and move the walls as long as they are not bearing the roof.

On top of that, CMU walls have higher fire and weather insulation properties than a typical wood frame wall. A hollow CMU block has a fire rating of 2 hours upgraded to 4 hours if the cells are grouted or filled with other filling materials(which is the case most of the time)

A typical wood frame wall made of 2x6 with 2x 1/2 drywall board and fiberglass wool insulation would likely fail in 30 minutes, unless built with modern 5/8 commercial grade X type gypsum boards; but still the wall would only hold 1 hour against 4 hours with a CMU wall.

The vast majority of houses in the mediterranean do not have air conditionning even though the temperatures often reach over 100 degrees. Walls are typically made of stucco over hollow or grouted (filled) CMU blocks and clay tiles roofs.

People usually keep the windows and doors closed during the hottest hours of the day and open at night so the house remain cold without using ventilation or AC, which proves the effectiveness of such constructions against extreme temperatures

Thanks alot for the detailed explanation.

Can we adopt such methods in Nigeria? We are not prone to some of these natural disasters, and we have vast forests.

It will greatly reduce the price of cement and eventually reduce the housing problems we are currently facing.

Can someone explain to me why these guys don't use cement to build their houses?

I've noticed this in foreign houses. Just plank and small metal. They don't even have foundations. Small breeze, everything don scatter.

Is cement very expensive there abi its illegal to build houses with cement?

I'll appreciate helpful comments.

Shattuck:
do you know I never knew Nigerians were this divided and tribalistic until I came across nairaland,its safe to say this forum is their safe heaven. its shameful to see grown men engage in something so shameful as ethnic hate,in a world where young individuals are changing the universe,only individuals who have little or nothing to aspire to in life engage in something so shameful, you know even the individual they are fighting about I saw an article where he talked about being nigerian.not being Igbo or Yoruba,seun needs to step up because the ethnic hate is so predictable and tiring

Nairaland thrives on ethnicity and tribal bashing.

Seun loves it, that's why he doesn't censor these comments.

Sadly Seun has failed to realise that there is only an extent to which Nairaland can grow. For a forum that started since 2006, it should have been coming close to Facebook and others.

But this is 2020 and we are still arguing which tribe is better over a post that doesn't even have the slightest coloration of tribalism.

successmatters:
It can only be Biafra, they are the only people that can rise with this kind of speed. I am really afraid of their momentum.

Don't you guys get tired!

dukeprince50:
The man should just save 3months salary and start a business in Lagos, in 10years he may even beat his wife's salary

Come to Lagos, Come to Lagos!!

It's comments like this that has made Lagos overcrowded. Lol.

Sleyanya1:

Cherrybae:
Lies from PDP and ipobs. I wonder why ipobs are so interested in APC matter.

Are ipobs now tired of Biafra.

Very soon ipobs eyes will open.

Ndi Ara

Stop sounding silly. The topic clearly says :Appeal Court Ruling: Mixed Feelings Among APC Staff Over Oshiomhole’s Return

There's absolutely nothing that even slightly mentions IPOB or Biafra or Igbo or anything remotely related.

How on earth you will still drag IPOB and Biafra into this topic that clearly doesn't involve them?

Are you cursed?

Finally after over 5 hours, Seun has decided to push this to front page.

Everybody is calling drugs.

What if its corona virus that killed him?

sarrki:
Even President Gej have forgiven and moved on

I am happy for him though

He’s been Wasting his experience under that regalia

It’s all about 2023

Ganduje belongs to Tinubu camp


They are all thieves that ruined this nation

Apc are scammers

They have done worse than what they accused Pdp of

Sarrki has your account been hacked?

Sodiquinone:
why can't Kumuyi tell his people how to protect themselves by regular washing of hands and the likes instead of giving empty promises as if Coronavirus dey look face.

So the safety measures they've been reading all over the news isn't enough for them?

IprintMONEY:

Look at my comment, look at your reply. Can you see how silly you sound?

Agege N500?

Olosho condom break?

Manure?

C'mon nau. Is that your most intelligent reply?

IprintMONEY:
idiot i always have time for useless broketards like u. i can go on and on for years like this. thunder fire your murdaaa

Shey na hand sanitizer cause all these plenty talk.

Little school boy that doesnt know what the future holds for him is calling me broke. Nothing person no go see online.

My young friend, shut up and stop forming gangster on Nairaland.

Magicians:
I am clearly beta off than u. Lagos is developing either slowly or whatever while Abia n Igboland is sinking into a shithole but you'd rather wail about tinilubi n Lagos, I pity ykur generation to come.

See how people fail exams? I made a statement about Tinubu, and you this im.beci.le was the one that dragged the entire Lagos into the discourse.

Im bigger than your ethnic sentiments and petty tribalistic arguments.

If Tinubu wants to contest for Presidency, I will not support him.

Come and beat me.

Magicians:
My bigoted Igbo friend I am yet to see your wail of sorrow n unbearable agony on this thread but you spent your foolish lifetime on Tinubu that reformed Lagos to n extent any of your state will never ever met up to.

Ikpeauzu that can not complete a bridge in 8 years claims he want to build airport n you foolishly decided to keep your stinking mouth of bigotry shut. While you wail about Tinubu who governed the Lagos that just built a jetty some are comparing to Dubai standard ? Tell me, are you not foolish n mad at the same time ?

How you conclude that I'm Igbo amazes me.

If Ikpeazu or any other shady character has a Presidential ambition, I will also kick against it with even more energy and passion.

However, if Tinubu wants to rule Nigeria, i think i should have an opinion as a Nigerian.

My extremely tribalistic and shallow minded Yoruba friend, please let it sink in your empty head that Nigeria is bigger than Lagos state.

The fact that he allegedly built a jetty as you claim does not mean that he will make a good President.

Its very interesting that you've deliberately chosen to ignore the countless corruption matters against him.

Tell me, are you not unfortunate? Coming on a faceless forum to form Superman over a post that your name was not even mentioned in.

Magicians:
Why is your Igbotic devilish soul already wailing about Tinubu ? Does any Nigeria have more right to contest the presidential ele tion than him. When as anyone from Tinubu come out to be wailing like a lunatic like you just did ?!

Those are the questions you need ask your deluded mind. This is a Tinubu who does not give a flying fucq if you rot in hell fire with your entire household or in hell.

You see what I'm talking about? Look at all the insults over my simple post.

At the end, you just proved my comment right.

You don't even know if i'm Igbo or not.

Clap for yourself.

You've made it in life.
