abdulwastecx: Great job, coming out well as the seam time.
I think the following should be check thoroughly before casting.
1. Cantilever slab should have it's main reinforcement on top with bar projected into adjacent slab at least 1.5 it's length.
2. Beam should have maximum space of ring /stirrup not more than 300mm.
3. Continuouse support of slab should have top reinforcement, with nominal reinforcement on the bottom of top.
4. All reinforcement should be provided with adequate cover.
5. The bottom bar should be separated from the top bar.

How would the insurance work? For what I know you cannot get a Nigerian driving licence issued abroad . So what's the meaning of ^very expensive abroad ^or you refer in to what GAZZUZZ is saying ? |

[quote author= post=52382258]The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control has released its findings on a test conducted on the much talked-about plastic rice. The acting Director-General of the agency, Yetunde Oni, made public the findings at a press briefing on Thursday in Abuja. Below are 5 key of her points: 1. Mrs Oni said that though the rice was found not to be plastic, contrary to media reports, it was still “unwholesome for human consumption”. 2. Mrs. said that the rice failed NAFDAC integrity test which thus ruled it out for human consumption. 3. She noted that ‘based on the laboratory result, the product is not plastic but rice contaminated with microorganisms above permissible limit.” 4. She said the consignment would be destroyed once handed over by the Nigeria Customs Service. 5. It was also revealed that several metric tons of expired and dangerous rice are still lying in wait at warehouses in neighboring countries with Nigeria as their target markets. http://www.newshelm.com/2016/12/5-things-we-discovered-in-latest.htmlcc lalasticlala[/quote]I got a problem with number 3 as they did not state what the legal limit was.this is 2016/17 we should learn to be straightforward |

Esperooke: Do you agree that one of the basic problems of Nigeria is that we are too import-dependent? If yes, this is one of the steps required for the correction. There is something called 'short run' and 'long run' in economics, thus the pain is in the short run, while the gain, long run. I will give U a quick answer NO. Reasons :we have nothing physical in place to give us option Importation is not the problem rather the infrastructure to produce we need power simple Try do Biz in Nigeria that involves use of electricity then U will get it. I have a product I want 2 sell designed by me.I want to sell unit price @ N3k now to produce this in Nigeria cost more than N3k to produce in China and bring it back to sell N2k what do you advice me to do?this is real and what I'm doing atm I gt bck frm China few days ago . You lots are shouting at salt importation fine do you know 2 hat amount of energy needed to evaporate sea water or brime to get crude salt ? So my friend importation has never been our problem rather production If I ask you as a person name 10 things that you want the FG to ban can you ? |

dabossman: I wonder why you keep writing these long essays on issues I have not picked an argument with you on. What, you think you are educating me on what should be done in a recession? Have I argued, countered or contested that with you? Where in all my write-up have I said the 70% increase is good or commendable? The only issue I have taken you up with you is the bolded delusion that sacking your staff will send a message to the President or anyone in government because they increased luxury tax. Even if they increase income tax or VAT,and you sack your staff, you'll only be deceiving yourself if you think they are bothered. Sacking them to save cost is another issue. But "making a statement" to govt? Bro please, maybe you haven't been in Nigeria long enough. You'd probably achieve more picketing Aso Rock and NASS with other entrepreneurs of like mind.
Sacking your staff to spite govt will only amount to blinking in the dark.They won't even notice, nor will they care. Mind you, making your loyal staff suffer for something that isn't their fault just to spite a government that doesn't give a rat's ass is quite vindictive on your own part too.Think about it.
Now, it's time to spend quality time with my wife and kids. Good night sir. Can I ask you a question ? Why would you think sacking of staff equates to spite the FG ? When a tough policy was put in place to force banks to recapitalize where staff not laid off ? I think a coy would lay off staff to save cost or else they will go into administration or fold up all together .come on man we see this strategy all day in the west |

Billyonaire: I have no idea why its difficult for you to evaluate your assertions with facts and statistics. No country imposes 70% taxation on Yatches and SUVs. And to escalate the tax from 20pct to 70pct is more of a punitive measure for luxurious and oppulent living than targeted at economic growth. I do not expect you to agree with me, after all, my knowledge of psychology of mental orders and disorders expounds on the fact that some people dont just get it. Some people are not ready to accept defeat even when their assertions are floored simply because they hate to see their ego deflated.
When government increases taxation, Employers fire to save costs and also to send a statement to the lunatic Presidents who have never made millions or billions from their personal sweat. They just wanna purnish others for their own silly mess.
Why must government increase tax from 20pct to 70pct. Na rich people destroy the economy ? No be their mumu land this economy on recession ? Why must the rich pay for government's foolishness ? And to actually know that these tax money will be looted by these imbeciles in politics is really debilitating.
You do not increase taxation during recession. You do not increase interest rates during recession. You do not punish the upper class during recession.
What you do during recession are; You lower interest rates to single digits. You allocate funds to Bank of Industry to empower manufacturers and investors to produce locally. You encourage consumer spending You engage in infrastructural development and hire lots of casual workers and put money in their pockets to spend our way out of recession.
Why the Bleep do we work so hard to acquire luxury only to be taxed 70%. Buhari did this in the past and the country was grounded. IBB had to rescue us. Now he has started again.
This Xmas, there was no Christmas light in most homes. Lots of people in Lagos hide in their bedrooms and never traveled cos they could not afford to. Many houses are vacant cos many tenants are downgraded financially.
Let us stop adoring these crazy politicians, all of them except people like Ambode. I owe no allergiance to no fucking buddy, so dont even think my loyalty is to a politician or a party. I am done with the partisan politics. Thank you I even went as low as saying grandma who buys salt at N10 now will have to buy same amount of salt at N70 they still don't get it.where in the world govt increase tax up to %50 not 5 talk of &70.I have been in the UK for 16 years counting one thing we all know the cost is transport fairs the increase over 16 years is not up to £3 Petrol has never been increased up to £1.it's always been in pence . . |

And you too would deny not knowing who owns the Oil blocks as well ? Make una get sense small every action has an equal and oposit action. U cancel contracts given to locals and award it to one man from the north who has no clue what do U think would happen .

12inches1: In Nigeria, we are crazy about foreign things. Even in the U.S, I used Dudu Osun. Think about it this way, if you support local industries they will become more competitive and better. America does not import things like food, sardine, soap etc. They are made here. And they provide jobs and help the economy. The era of importing everything is long gone. Anyone that wants to tap into the huge Nigerian market should come and setup in Nigeria. We are not dumb. Even Donald trump said the same thing about the U.S during his election. Why U dey lie ? Which America does not import food ? Everyone import food . What you will tell me is that they can match the volume in export |
