BrabusNG: Unfortunately, there’s nothing that you, I or the government can do about this.
Can you buy electrical cable at N9,000 and sell at N8,500? It’s impossible! The same way with cement right now.
______
My suggestion is that we should start exploring alternative to cement in Nigeria. The owner of the project next to my ongoing build is planning to use Supafix after I introduced it to him last week.
I’ll be doing some demos in the coming days.
A nairalander (whom I don’t know) ordered some quantities from me in January. I really wish he could give his feedback on the product.
It’s cheaper and better than OPC. A good way to explore is to do comparative costing between OPC and the supafix in smaller rooms.
EgunMogaji2: The chicken pillar was my now best friend Azuh.
We had some fun back then sha

tonye33: Illegal Bunkry Creek distroyed by men of the Nigerian Navy and Army at Ibeto in Rivers State. The said act have been going on for years not until today when a joint team of Nigerian Navy and Army stormed the area exploding everything on site.
In as much as this is illegal, is this their real problem? they have a much larger problem in the North all Military personal should be drafted to the Northeast. today these BH boys attacked a base and even kidnapped personals. They are here showing gra gra
James4358: My nairaland family, i jst want to bare my mind here.
Matured responses will be sincerely appreciated. I'll try to be brief & straight to the points.
Precisely in 2019, I helped my then boss who was transfered to Abuja to get a maid from the south south part of the country, calabar to be precise. She was 18yrs at that time. Later that year, my boss who was nursing a kidney ailment needed transplant urgently. Out of love, this girl opted to help donate one of her kidneys. Personaly I kicked against the idea when she told me, but she was strong-willed. I took the matter to her parents and they threatened to hold me responsible if anything happened to their daughter. After much persuasion from her, her parents gave in reluctantly. We carried out series of tests & she was certified fit to donate. My boss contacted a German hospital that later did the transplant. I work for a para-millitary agency as a cadet A.S.P & i call him My boss because he was heading the command i was first posted to. More details below...
need fear not as you did nothing wrong, however, is she not married to your Boss? has your boss paid the bride price before now? if not this is what marrying the corpse means!
favor914: Enter aeroplane travel, & learn for yourself.
FYI, you can see I have a British passport, do you have any idea of how many countries in Europe and America and Asia I have been to? You guys will just open that gutter you call mouth and empty brains and vomit trash on the internet!
computer detect a sensor arnd the nozzle, the sensor was replaced. still the overheating persist.
BMW customer care relate with, they ask us to change the thermostat, given us a particular type of thermostat to be use, we get exact thermostat at Gudu auto market, still the problem persists.
Was it a used one? PS, Computer would give you a code, this is the code you throw here for the onward suggestion/giagnosis, telling you it was a sensor without giving you a fault code is shortchanging you!
jcflex: Boss, eventually I have to change the engine.
water get thru and mix with engine oil.
I just decide to change the engine, cus of too much wahala.
now the challenge is car entering cruise control while driving, and dashboard will come up with engine malfunction.
thou this has been der before change of engine, it do occur once in a while, anytime it occur, I put off the engine and put it ON again, and everything work fine.
fergie001: Every Nigerian has the right to a Nigerian passport and it is our responsibility to put it in the hands of anyone desirous of it within the shortest possible time, without stress. The passport should be available in maximum of 72 hours of a successful application.
ThreeBlackBird: I'm not surprised you allege me to be a NEPA staff. When you see a superior argument, you start making stupid and baseless claims.
For your information, I use Prepaid meter. I pay my bills as and when due. If I don't pay, I can't begin to threaten my meter or start beating it up. That you're used to attacking officers shouldn't make you see others in that fashion.
If you owe, simply pay. If you feel you're not getting value for your money, simply discount. If you get estimated bills higher than what you feel you've used, get a meter. How are these simple things hard?
Can you work for someone and be taking half payment monthly, the rest of which you're likely never to get with that arrangement?
And have you seen the stress some people go fru to get that thing you called meter?
Obaseki500: I have never been this confused in my entire life...
I have a girlfriend that we have been dating for 6 years now... We are not married because I was not stable financially but now things seems to be much better and next year should be the year....I reside in Ibadan so she came in last year after her education to get a job, she's a nurse and we were staying together up till now.
Sex has never been an issue between us up until December last year. We sleep on the same bed and we live in the same house but we have not had sex since December 2020 till date. She's right beside me as I type this message. Each time I go close to her, she tells me I am not entitled to sex because I have not paid her bride price. I just could not understand the sudden change in her attitude towards sex when wedding is next year.
She also locks her phone and even WhatsApp. Now, I am beginning to have doubt about marrying her.
6 years wetin, is ith an Architectural Degree course?
FEGEITOK: it was who helped you out? what are you really saying?
I have just checked your profile and seen that you are more in the Family. Romance and politics section, that explains why you do not know those two people o n nairaland.
Etfash: The church is not built by the government. The government has all the resources to build these things and much more; and profit from it as well.
Would it make any sense to condemn a proprietress of a school for building a bigger school to accommodate more students as her school grows? Is it logical to ask the proprietress to build roads to limit accidents and fix power in neighboring villages to give light to the people?
No matter how noble certain causes are, logic is also very important!
But then, be true to yourself, If he had built stadium and industries and requested for money from people who access the stadium, or recruit only his church members and other christians in his industries, wouldn't you condemn him? I am morethan 60% certain that you would! It appears logical to condemn these people, but there actually another reason hidden very deep inside of us, that we will never agree to, which makes us go against them, no matter what they do.
You didn't mention school as a viable option here because you know he already invested heavily in that. You also didn't mention Agriculture because you are probably aware of his outstanding feat in those areas, what about Real Estate? Hospitals? Did you know that more than 85% of Bishop Oyedepo and Winners' chapel projects are handled by locals?
What do you really want from this man?
You know the answer?... "They hate me without a cause".. David Oyedepo is of Christ. His actions reveal to us our shortcomings and limitations which we are not ready to live above. We have succumbed to those frailties and many have yielded to that "white painted, angel-like demon - the devil" without even knowing it.
The church is built by the Government? which government??
Ayo2004: Biggest church in the country with one of the highest crime rate,poverty rate,tribalism rate,wickedness rate,of what use is the magnificence of the church when most Christians in Nigeria are worse than atheists?
Same funds could have been used to build educational facilities,health facilities and vocational facilities that will enhance good living and the life of many citizens in the country but many fools will quote me like I am a fool
Exactly my thought and that silly RedSquid is talking craaaap,this is why I so much have nothing but respect for that man of God building free schools
The Ark will specifically take 106,000 seats and will include a 24 Floor Mission Tower (International Headquarters Facility) made up of 2 pairs of 12 floors each.
It is to be built on the site of the old Faith Academy adjoining Faith Tabernacle which will now become its overflow facility. Faith Tabernacle and Faith Academy’s Foundation Laying both took place on 29th August 1998 and both projects lasted one year with the 50,000 capacity Faith Tabernacle project commencing on 18th September 1998 and dedicated on 18th September 1999.
According to Bishop Oyedepo, not one dime of the money contributed to this project since 2015 has been touched and the Church has maintained strict budgeting and never going out of her budget. ‘Right now’ says Bishop Oyedepo ‘ it doesn’t feel like what we are building (the Ark Project) is up to a bungalow’.
Continuing the announcement by the Church-Members of the Church especially Pastors, Deacons, Deaconesses, Heads of various units who are able to make it are required to be present for this Prophetic Event. Everyone that sees the take off of this Project shall live to see its completion in his or her multiplied state in the name of Jesus Christ.
I would have preferred it was built on 100x100 feet and it was a research facility to find a vaccine for malaria,|This would have helped the common man in Nigeria!
ALLNIGERIANSMAD: you called mechanic, he was able to detect the fault he removed the axle and manage to drive the car home then you come here to ask how to fix it
Mstravelindiva: Yes they are open and are in phase 3, these pics were from my visit to New Orleans 2 weeks ago.
Most activities and dining were socially distanced, and we made reservations to many place. I actually speak about this in my COVID travel tips video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqaASf_Azvo
I highly recommend making reservations for tours and dining for anyone that is comfortable traveling right now.
This post might be helpful for Nigerians living in diaspora or looking to vacation in the USA.
Let's me first say, I absolutely love "NOLA" as we here in the states fondly refer to New Orleans - it's literally a melting and such a fun city. The city simply does not sleep, and pretty much anything goes!
I recently visiting New Orleans, Louisiana on a “foodie tour” for 4 days. You might ask “what is a foodie tour”? It’s when you travel to a destination specifically to taste and sample local foods (and cocktails). Louisiana is a southern state and their cooking techniques clearly were passed down from our ancestors in Western Africa and France.
By way of history, Louisiana purchased African slaves and was part of the slave trade. We had the opportunity to visit the Whitney Plantation Museum. The Whitney Plantation Museum is the only museum in Louisiana with an exclusive focus on the lives of enslaved people. Many of its decedents can be linked back to Western Africa – a few we traced back to Nigeria, specifically Igbo and Yoruba tribes, although I’m sure there were other tribes.
I like to share this experience with you because many to travel to the USA yet bypass the southern states which you may have lineage through. It’s definitely eye opening (and painful) to see some of the conditions your ancestors had to live in and endure. However it’s our history and part of who we are.
We also visited the National WWII Museum which was quite interesting and educational as well.

vikithor: bro its normal and according to standing practice for cook or chef to taste their food before dishing out to others, wine mixers taste their drinks before sharing,mechanic must test drive his handiwork before handing key to the owner. some drunks mechanic fixed my car's shaft and alternator belt,asked his apprentice to fix back my tyres,when I arrived, he boastfully asked me to go with my car in that it is 100% OK,I trusted him,driving less than a kilometer, back tyres began wobbling, before I park some bolts has screwed off.I called him and reported, he didn't show any remorse,was blaming me for not checking the car before leaving his workshop! I was burahrised,shocked and speechless! How am I to 'check' without test driving?
This has happened to me too, Some people are careless, I also had a very bad experience with someone changing the brake pad to my RRS and removed the bleeding screw,I slept shagamu for one night, it was leJeun3 and superrescue who came to my rescue, it would have been two days cos of someone not doing their job properly
trilacos: you have a 2003 jeep and he has 2002 highlander,what is the difference?how are you sure that he has not changed 70% of his own? Yet you accused him of opening his eyes to buy an old car,should he go and steal?some people are even saying that it's old,yet if we check,they might not even have a bicycle.if the OP has money to upgrade,he will.you don't have to rub it in his face.he know its old.
Now you are saying a totally different thing from D first insult,mayB you just realized he has been a pryk. My Jeep is a project car as I like that sort of thing, if u go to my profile you will see this topic of a range rover 2012 https://www.nairaland.com/3241253/conversion-rhd-lhd-2012-range However, this has nothing to do with money rather an Ideology. make Una get sense small
