I think number 4 is very common. Men and their alike are just fooling around. Only want some good sex and don't want to commit .

Range rover for the ladies G wagon for the men. And G wagon as good security G wagon can go off road. G wagon gives you class

Getting a car with desired hp and torque is enough to give a thrill ride but when faced with buying a stock option, what components can be tweaked to get a faster, more stable ride. I' very heard of increasing the wheel sizes, changing the air filter, probably changing the engine to a bigger size but I need to know more especially considering the Nigerian environment.
I'm here to learn so your advice is needed, thanks

In this season of recession, Popular Port Harcourt-born Naija singer is smiling to the bank.He told his Instagram followers earlier today that his boss gave him a whopping 1000 pounds (415926.42 Nigerian Naira) to celebrate ahead of his upcoming album launch.

See the testimony he shared on his official IG page

Continued from Range Rover Evoque owners Manual......

If a heavy persistent engine knock is detected,
even when using fuel to the recommended
octane rating, or if you hear engine knock while
holding a steady speed on level roads, consult
your Dealer/ Authorised Repairer to have the
problem corrected. Failure to do so is misuse
of the vehicle, for which Land Rover is not
responsible. If in doubt seek advice from a
Dealer/Authorised Repairer in the territory
concerned.
Super Green Plus 98 RON unleaded fuel (where
available) may be used as an alternative to the
standard 95 RON unleaded fuel.

The fuel tank that I showed that was 91 min was for an Audi q7, ditto the lincoln navigator and Mercedes benz, they all require 91 min. Regular unleaded is 89-90 ron and that is what Nigeria is using and even recently I got the confirmation from PPPRA. The minimum requirement for all these super cars is 91 ron. Hope the RRS is still coming to Nigeria?

From Range Rover Manual.....
OCTANE RATING
Your Land Rover requires the use of premium
unleaded fuel with a minimum octane rating of
95 RON to achieve optimum performance, fuel
economy and driveability.
If premium unleaded fuel is not available, you
may use unleaded fuel with a lower octane
rating, down to a minimum of 91 RON , but this
may reduce engine performance, increase fuel
consumption, cause audible engine 'knock' (a
metallic rapping noise from the engine) and
other driveability problems.
Do not use fuels with an octane rating
lower than 91 RON as severe engine
damage may occur.
Note: Occasional, light, engine knock
experienced while accelerating or climbing hills
is acceptable.

I know what you mean by decking business o. Several nights I spent with Abdul was very helpful and meaningful.
I have to give him credit for all his helps. Everything he taught me then was hanging in my head when they were doing the decking.
Very helpful and thank God I had a good builder by the name of Aventures, he also made it look so simple like Spyder... after completion I surely did breath sigh of relief o. Aventures saved me a lot of money on certain areas.. like renting woods/bamboos instead of buying.
We also over-buy all the materials like Stone dust, Iron bars, granites... we both knew we are buying excess but I always make sure I have enough materials... so the left-overs were used for upper floor lintels/pillars (iron/granites/stone dust) and installation/hanging of the parapets with irons and stone dust with granites too... Aventures never took any leftovers from the site and even gave me account of what is left, counted in the presence of my brother who is the Site Manager... I respected Aventures for his honesty. Thank God materials were at normal cost then... that was in December/January 2016. He even recorded some of the process and sent it to me like I was there live.
Professional Builders will make you sleep well and peaceful at night.

I envy you sir.

We're all here so I'm at the mercy of total strangers but god watches after his own.

BlueMountain1:
Hello Erico, all the very best in your building project. God willing, I'll be starting a residential building in PH by the dry season. Would you kindly share your contacts for Bulk Cement purchase, granite and sharp sand supplies?

Braden102:
why

Braden102:
What's the Sqft. Those style of houses you guys have in Nigeria are so ugly ,colonial and outdated.They also look complicated and may incur unnecessary expenditure. The homes in the photo below are very simple,yet elegant,straightforward ,and also easy to build and complete within a short period of time. In fact,you do not have to waste money on conventional roofing nor stairs because prefabricated stairs is much cheaper. Colour is also important in the finishing . White ,grey and peach colours gives a modern look to a building.

olumide4christ:
Bros, you say N21.2 or N19 million will complete the building in the picture you posted...with or even without the present cost of cement? Please don't mislead the OP because I know that if he engages you on the premise of N21.2 OR N19 Million, we are sure to hear stories that touch when the time comes..This isn't the 1st or 5th time its happening on Nairaland.

How did you even determine the costs....have you visited the site to ascertain the topography/soil conditions and thus the height and nature of the foundation that you said would cost N1.8million Even the foundation of my bungalow and BQ in Abuja cost N2.1 million altogether with direct labour (it was on a sloppy land) but was still that cheap because aggregates (sand, granite, hardcore) are far cheaper in Abuja than in Lagos or the south west. Not to talk of the foundation of a 5-bedroom duplex.

Please get your facts right and don't mislead the OP!!

abdulwastecx:
I think one or two storey building are not too structurally demanding, when properly done their is nothing to be worry about.

I think Mr erico2k2 is doing great with his building project and everything will come good at the end of the day.

We just have serious problem with standard and codes in Nigeria because we copy everything and we don't have the right institutions to enforce or look after building construction.

I advice most of my new client to build according to their small budget and in most cases simple but beautiful low cost bungalows.

spyder880:
We usually look up new styles everyday, agree with clients to change existing designs and introduce new ones according to the building type........ The arc, most times defines the look of the building.

spyder880:
@ erico2k2, these are some of the types of arcs we have in some Nigerian buildings, answering your question from one of my threads Sir.

abdulwastecx:
I think that will help boss... Nothing to worry about, don't want to create any panicky situation here. Good job by the way

abdulwastecx:
may be if the structural design was carried out a different type of column section could of be chosen taking into consideration the thickness of your partition walls. instead of using a square section, a rectangular or polygon section could have been used.

As for 2: most builder on nairaland are guilty of this, they seems to space columns ring too far apart. the spacing of the ring is govern by shear consideration in columns and the maximum span is specify in the codes of structural use of concrete. As a rule of tomb, 200mm (8'') spacing is mostly adequate for most simple duplexes

EgunMogaji:
My Chief, please allow me.

Supporting columns, regardless of the partition size (which in your case is 6", have standard calculated sizes per code.

So your columns have to be certain size regardless of your partition size.

Spacing is also calculated. Not just putting pillars near doors etc, they have specific calculated places that thy must be planted at.

Thank you Sir.

PS: This is why I built a sprawling bungalow. There's a lot to building elevated decks. I blame Spyder880, he makes it looks so easy

abdulwastecx:
Well done boss, working coming out well.... Just some few observation
1. column section looks too small
2. Spacing of rings/styrub/shear reinforcement too far apart ( maximum spacing for columns according to BS8810 is 300mm)

Apart from the aforementioned points, works seems to be coming out well.

Even if you use Kerosene, doesn't make it right..... We talking about what is [size=14pt] "Recommended" [/size]

Brake pad replacement is one of the most vital aspects of motor vehicle maintenance and is a major contribution toward safe driving. Although many drivers choose to take their cars to a garage or mechanic center for brake-pad replacement, it is possible to do the job yourself. This should be a relatively simple task for any persons with an intermediate level of mechanical knowledge.
Step 1 – Remove the Wheels
Park your car on a flat, even surface and make sure that the parking brake is completely engaged. Place the wooden blocks behind the rear tires to keep the vehicle in position when it is jacked. Loosen the wheel bolts but do not remove them completely.
Then, locate the jacking points on each sides of the car and use the trolley jack or portable car jack to lift the front end of the car off of the ground. Place the axle stands in place and lower your vehicle onto them. The wheel bolts can now be fully loosened, and you should now bring out the wheels.
Step 2 – Compress the Brake Caliper
You might want to concentrate on changing one side at a time because if you take both calipers off, it’s possible you could lose the piston out of one of them when compressing the other. You may also turn the car’s steering wheel toward the side you’re working on. Doing so will give more space and therefore better access to the calipers and brake pads.
When you’re set, take the C-clamp and compress the piston of the caliper until it is forced into the brake caliper housing unit. This allows for the caliper assembly to be removed, and it also makes for the additional space required to mount the new brake pads. If your brake calipers need repairs, you should fix them before you continue.
The mounting bolts of the caliper can be unbolted with the use of a ratchet and an appropriate-sized socket, and the caliper should easily come away from the rotor. Occasionally, special keys in hexagonal, torx, or star shapes are needed to do this. Take care not to bend or break the brake hose.
Step 3 – Remove and Inspect the Pads

Could you run a video of these, I have interest in doing this myself

asitis752:
O my God! See all those idiots that borrowed money to buy data to comment on nairaland supporting the thief pej by trying to divert the attention to another thief Buruntai's issue. So because dis government has been shielding burutai means they should also leave dis one? U pple dont even have any sense again. I said it that wailers and the zombies are d number one problem of this country. How many of you people hav eaten this morning? How many of you won't lament before buying two cups of rice? You people are brain-dead

sooperrescue:
Unleaded premium fuel is what porsche, range rovers, mercedes benz, bmw, acura, vw, audi, lexus and nissan are required to use. Porsche in nigeria vlaims to be using euro 4 after their modifications but the ones brought from the Usa is euro 5. A client of mine imported a 2015 autobiography range rover 3.0 supercharged directly from the factory in the Uk, it was modified to use regular unleaded for nigeria. Nigeria uses regular unleaded fuel and ask around if you can use regular unleaded in your 75k bolide.

honmusa:
No mind the guy the way he is going by it ,u will feel premium gas compliant cars are from Mars lot of SUV that are premium unleaded gas compliant check your Nissan murano .

LeJeun3:
Boss, calm your horses!

The price of your car doesn't matter much at this point. Open the fuel tank door and take a look......

[size=14pt] "Premium Unleaded Fuel Recommended" is clearly stated on all Land Rover Vehicles from 2005 till date [/size]

Hmmmm? I will wait for more estimates but not looking good. My capacity is 16m. And have a high taste.
