msogunro: I'm confident in the skills of the carpenters in Nigeria. During my last vacation I was in Ikorodu and I saw many very nice, contemporary furniture on display. My uncle said the carpenters are competent, but you need to make sure you pick a strong type of wood. I can't remember the name of the wood he told me. I plan to build all my furniture in Nigeria.
On a different topic, would you happen to know where one can get a very cheap, good conditiin insulated shipping container in Nigeria? 10 or 20 ft.
mufutau55: If you don't find anything you want in Naija, import it. Furniture is now legal for importation. But I am sure most of this furniture can be find in Naija. I like the one in the third pictures for $1599.

They will say she connived with the west to dupe Nigeria ,This is the mindset of a mechanic accusing a Qualified medical doctor of stealing their JOBS.
dasparrow: The people in the creeks have no livelihood to begin with since oil companies have contaminated their land since the 1970s due to oil spills. Hence, they have nothing to loose if militants choose to blow up whatever is left of their already severely damaged region, sentiments aside.
He said 1. Instead of working to solve the Niger Delta Criminal act
In other words that he is not working to solve the problem. and that the activity he was engaged in interferes with such work. We do not know that he is not doing such work and at any rate the Northerner,as you call him, has characterized it as "criminal" which means it is the duty of the security services.He deliberately chose not to call it a political problem and so BMB is not the one with primary responsibility but Buhari and the Governors HE IS A LEGISLATOR. IS THE NIGER DELTA PROBLEM ARISING BECAUSE WE DONOT HAVE ENOUGH LAWS? 2. He is there acting candid movies He is not acting any movie he is living his life. To me it seems the northerner is irritated by a display which offends his cultural or religious sensibilities but that is HIS problem. Whether BMB chooses to kiss his wife is his business.
The so called criminal Niger Delta activities has not killed innocent people in the same way as Boko Haram or Fulani Herdsmen so if he wants to criticize that is what he should criticize

Abimbola Akosile in Lagos and Olawale Ajimotokan in Abuja
In line with the promise President Muhammadu Buhari made on May 14 in London to give details of looted funds recovered by the administration during the first anniversary of his presidency, the federal government yesterday released an interim report specifying the recovered cash and assets.

The office of the Attorney-General of the Federation also recovered N5,500,000,000 (five billion, five hundred million naira) and $5,500,000 (five million, five hundred thousand dollars) in cash.
Buhari had said in an interview during the global anticorruption summit in London, “So far, what has come out, what has been recovered in whatever currency from each ministries, departments and individuals, I intend on the 29th to speak on this because all Nigerians are getting from the mass media because of the number of people arrested either by the EFCC, DSS. But we want to make a comprehensive report on the 29th.”
The president faced widespread criticism when in his Democracy Day speech on May 29 he failed to disclose the recovered funds as promised.
The Biggest scam here is not to Name the people behind this looting or are they still in power as we speak hence their identities are being protected? or they don't exist and just another APC ploy cos last we knew Dansuki gate was a hit until the named people challenged the FG to bring Dansuki to come testify and FG failed to produced him in a twist and case postponed to 23 may and we heard nothing since? Nigerians we should not just take what these politicians tell us we should ask strong questions, telling us how much they repatriated is not just enough.Anybody can say that PC Im not hating, Im just stating facts and observations
Megaflex: We are nt talking abt d one dat happend in Brooks, US, we are talkin of dis one dat happend in kenya. d one in US might b rainfall in one spot, bt dis video is nt rainfall in one spot, its a busted pipe. if it ws rainfall, we wuld observe its fallin frm d sky, nt halfway into d sky. pls direct me to d link of d one dat happend in Brooks.

stevebond007: Try and understand his quote as well, as a graduate or undergraduate that i assume you are, does the quote infers a person ready to fight corruption? A Phd holder that was clueless for the best period of his tenure. Reason my guy , u no be small boy
That's a tongue in cheek statement you just made cos U jst realized them two phrase aint Dsame STEALING IS NOT CORRUPTION period.There is no connection You are taking a swipe at the ex Fg,calling him clueless, who is more clueless now not understanding a simple phrase seek sense plz
sabofws5: why is GEJ runing from pillar to pole, the other day he was in US now again in UK, I believe he must have been going about to prevent his starched away billions of dollars and pound sterlings from being revealed to the anti corruption agencies, well time will tell it is just a matter of time.
delerx: some people sha, i voted for jonathan back then, but to be frank anybody insulting buhari now is a fool.gej enjoyed more from the sales of oil,he squandered almost everything so as to win election. so what happened to all the money we heard people stole,r u telling me we should praise corruption while u r out there lavishing in poverty, without hope, without water without food. tell me what he did for ss n se youths? its not APC fault that we r terribly suffering. pls lets say for instance u own a pharmacy, and dr r no more customers buying ur drugs and the few ones left are expiring n getting stolen, pls how would u pay workers, run ur business smoothly or do maintenance, thats the situation we r in now. am not saying APC is perfect,its just that some nairalanders need to have sense. we have no foreign exchange because we r not exporting, and it will remain like this until we collectively develop ourselves to help the govt and if u guys prefer to repeat another civil war then lets go there. i am sure se n ss people with businesses in Lagos n Abuja r not praying for this except for the hopeless
this si where you guys get it wrong and politicians are using you as scapegoat. what will you say to a FG who knows the world is moving from Oil yet budget %0.05 of annual budget to fund oil exploration in the chad basin? Now at a point crude was $40/barrel in GEJ's govt , now tell me why did we not have it bad for even 1 day? I swear I never knew nigerians could bear like this. if it continues like this for 4 years can Nigerians survive it?
mufutau55: What I have seen in some New York City build is that they use the same regular 9inch hollow blocks but then at the back of it they also use those small color bricks.. so some sort of two layers; and no painting needed on those bricks. One day I will get a photo of it.
Hajji M.
Ok I would love to see photo. Cos if U use 9 inch hollow blocks plus 2 inch brick then 2 inch in the middle for insulation then your wall o's 13 inch thick b4 plasterboard.
lastpage: I am still trying to relate your response to the question l asked?
Read my response to @msogunro , below, and this was on Page 287!
BTW: They use Hollow blocks "abroad". Check your 'facts' properly.
Thank you.
Lastpage!
I did give an answer to your question. I said with a lil twicking a clever person can make one that fits Hollo blocks And when I said abroad well I mean where I'm at ie the UK.no hlloow blocks.is outer red brick middle I slating inside solid. If not tell me how the fulfilment of insulation requirements would be fulfilled. It must be for fencing and walls that needs no insulation.
boldx: Update: I went to the mechanic today My fuel filter was obviously bad. It was replaced. I also changed my fuel pump. Still test driving. So far, all seems to be ok.
tbaba1234: What will you do with the names? There might be legal issues surrounding the release of names especially as the people have not been convicted.
How can one return money stollen if you have not been convicted? If that's the case it simply means the funds where not stollen
earthrealm: TH E ERROR IN HOLAROCKDAY CALCULATION I THINK IS HE USED ONLY CEMENT, FORGETTING TO FACTOR IN SAND AND GRANITE. LEMME DO SOME MATHS SINCE U USED 10:10:1 RATIOM TOTAL IS 21, AND CEMENT IS ONLY 1 SO SIMPLY DIVIDE 2045 BY 21 = 97. ITS ABOVE THE 82 BAGS USED BY OP, COS OF WATER, WATER ACTUALLY TOOK THE VOLUME/SPACE OF 10+ BAGS OF CEMENT
Tinubutoto: They are the majority, out of the 18 senators from the region they have 5 to their name and every other tribe has just one senator or nothing.

Tinubutoto: This is why I don't support the Niger Delta Republic, Ijaw people will use every other tribe as their ragtag because they are the majority in that region. Nigeria I believe on
