I'm currently staying in São Paulo, Brazil. I'm very close to downtown.

I see a lot of homeless people on the street. They felt dangerous at first, but I've gotten used to them now.
They have not bothered me yet, they don't even beg me for money. Maybe I look so broke they don't even bother. lol

The city is beautiful, with a lot of infrastructure, but they throw trash everywhere.

In this city, you have a lot of Nigerians. Especially Igbos. I walk on the streets and I here people speaking Igbo almost everyday. lol
Sometimes I try to say hi, but they're too busy discussing business, so I just let them be.

I'm close to the Naija restaurant, so I've been walking there almost everyday to chop correct Naija food.

Ask Obi. He's the one who said agitators have reason and that he'll bring agitators out of prison to hear their reason.

arnt his people agitating for Biafra?what is BH agitating 4?

Good old days

yessso.we thank God for life.hope U are getting your old self back asap

Is it wrong to ask Obi about ipob? Is it wrong for someone who is not a supporter of Obi to question him?
Obi that is ipob spiritually and physically, still dey format people for chatham house. He said he has agitator in his house. He ended up still defending the ipob saying there is reason for their agitation. So why is he condemning and mentioning boko haram and bandits. i think there is reason for their agitation. All the igbo leaders are playing with fire which is consuming the whole land, they don;t know. They should keep playing ostrich and treating the madness with kids gloves.

is there a reason for Boko Haram to kill people?U call that agitation?kidnapping whole females in a school??

Posting or not posting picture is a matter of professionalism and courtesy. Nobody can stop you from posting any picture that is PLAIN VIEW SIGHT of the public. Inside your house is definitely not in plain view sight of the public. You can find pictures of any house in the US on google map. Even the inside pictures of most houses can be found on Zillow, they woould not be doing it if it was not permitted

plai view or not.the owner reserve the rights to the photos of his building. inside or outside.

Akerewe:
R u comparing this with someone who used 9" and also use strong columns for load bearing?

Do U realy depend on a wall for load bearing

visaclick:
boss this doesn't look stable in my eyes. Make two hefty men no fight near that fence o. See how thin the columns are.

this is the house, plz post urs lets see if its more stable than this.

visaclick:
are those not 225 blocks am seeing on the foundation?

delete this, its not mine

1st off I have asked u to delete that other foto have U done so? if u look well you will see thats not a foundation for a storey biilding

vidaclick plz delete that foto.the owner has not given I permission to post it .that is not my building.its that of another member here.

Iriruaga100:
Sir, for standard practice 9 inches hollow for ground floor and 6 inches hollow for up floor. You can do 9 inches hollow for all external walls for the ground floor and 6 inches hollow for the internal walls on the ground floor.

says who?

visaclick:
are those not 225 blocks am seeing on the foundation?

bross look n read closely check who posted that.I'm sure U saw my foimdation

visaclick:
and the columns were 150mm x 150mm?

https://www.nairaland.com/2804484/diy-construction-house-ph
check there

visaclick:
so you made use of 6inches blocks for a building this tall, you aren't concerned about the slenderness ratio . That's an un-calculated risk just pray the soil properties remains unchanged for a long time.

Where did you get the assumption from? I can build a full structure with beams lintels and pillars.6 inches by 6 inches. and use south african bricks to demarcate the inside and use glass on the outside.

visaclick:
it's a bad practice don't try it. It won't even get approved by the authorities.

mine got approved in Rivers state PHC plis in the south we don't use 9 inches hollows we use 6 inches solids.places lole sapele warri Oghara Benin Bayelsa etc.check this forum bro

visaclick:
that case is different, the columns are 225mm in size and the blocks are non-load bearing but in case where the blocks bears most of the weights in residential buildings done on budget and mostly non-engineered it's very wrong to use 6inch blocks. You are viewing with your eyes and think of the weight coming downwards however in Structural point of view we are also considering the wind loads, ground movements, active and passive forces on the foundation, the granular materials surrounding the building substructure. Those actions threaten a building stability more.

would U build a house where block bears the weight?We had this topic discussed here in full details by Civil Engineers here apyider/abdi Brabus etc back in 2015.Bricks as relevant to strength of ur house ais almost irrelevant as U can just use glass.

Akerewe:
I thought it's impossible before now because of load bearing, it's risky though

bricks do not hold hoiises but pillars Beam does.however there are some load bearing walls.

Akerewe:
How possible, 6" inch blocks for a storey building? Am learning new things here oh Lord. Pls the op should walk me tru the process

6 inches Solid

anyilalaz:
Thanks for your insight. Pls what was the column size

its 6 inches square but U should do urs 6inches along the block and 9 inches wide.I was told by a reliable Engineer on here that was the right way.

anyilalaz:
Experts in the house, happy new year. Please can 6 inches blocks be use for 1 storey building and what will be the minimum dimensions and spacing for columns using 16mm rod. Thanks

I used 6 inches solid for mine on the ground floor and 6 inches hollow on the top flow. very solid however its on solid land.

Okay. I am not where I can take the picture of those local constructions I'm talking about, but it looks exactly like this picture. With metal poles as the stands. They just put chain round the car engine, hook the chain and roll the lever up.

I'm not a fluid Engineer and I don't know the technicalities of fluid engineering. But this is just a simple pulley lever system something just like wheel and axle.





We learn everyday

ok now I know what you are on about you are talking chain hoist.Thats not a pulley system.as U can see that pulley system you showed can not remove any load greater than that of whom is puling it.the chain hoist in question works with varios gears inside thats how it transfars the weight of the load . That chain hoist is mounted on 2 A frames

Google is your friend sir, I am neither a mechanic nor in Nigeria at the moment to go take picture of a local mechanic workshop for you.

But I see it in virtually every local mechanic workshop around Nigeria.

True google is my friend and its ur friend too.so U simply can't give is a link of where U saw one?is it that hard? 80% of is here live abroad..I can beat chest and tell U no pulley loft for car engine.its either Hydronic or chain jack .there is a thread here titled tools of the trade FYI I'm a fluid Engineering.my speciality is lofting and heavy lifting.anything to do with fluids.This is why I want to know that trolley engine lift.I'm not being mischievous.

soojar:
The fuss is about, if you truly live in North London you won't see any mechanic mad enough to be lifting a customer's car engine out of car like that, so why encourage that in Nigeria? If the guy wants to go for weight lifting contest let him join the nearest Gym centre.

As for pulley system, just type it on google you will see enough pictures and videos and even how to construct a simple one yourself.

bro there is an Engine lift and it has nothing to do with pulley hence I asked you to shoe me what engine loft jas a pulley system.Hydronic lifts.

Cromagnon:
machines are brute force. N name some brute force that machine cannot do

V simple.U can't toque a bolt with machine.
U use a torque wrench
When machinig an Engine block,U have to loft the Engine block unto the lathe and off.
ever used a ply bar and a sledge hammer??

Go to 2 or 3 mechanic workshops around you, I'm sure 1 of them will have it. It is very popular everywhere.

I'm sure the guy in the video just did that for trending or they had a bet on if he can lift it single-handedly or not (hence the reason for recording it on video) I'm sure that particular mechanic workshop has the pulley system I'm talking about. Even at the end of the video you could see they have something to move heavy parts from one place to the other within the workshop.

Mechanics round me are different.I live in North london so I won't see what U are asking off.That engine is less than 40kg Im struggling to understand what the fuzz all about..a bag of cement weighs more.I have seen mechanics here moving engine block by hand .
