kITATITA:
The report is written as of the planes are loaded with foreigners carrying bags of dollars into Nigeria. The Passengers are largely Nigerians going abroad to spend hard earned naira in dollars. In other words they are moving hard currency out of the country.

Wake up.U are in a very sad dream.U forgot yoy are restricted on the amount t you can carry inboard a plane
Nowadays you can carry 100 times the ammount you are allowed to travel with wen going to ABA from Enugu
Most people go on holiday or are returning abroad after visiting Nigeria and if they decide to carry 2 naira a is it not their money??.

MYMINDER:
Emefiele is NOT Change. He is from GEJ transformation. Blame GEJ who decided to play politics with the economy and pander to the steps of his cronies.

I doubt he will last his 5-year term.

Wailer Alert ahah let's blame GEJ for your sour soup 2. Lol

sanmibukunmi:
pssssss there will always be a way to go around this things and I believe the CBN governor and other people people in the field know this. they just don't want to do it. Nigeria can't continue like this. we can't always be slaves to them. I am happy we have taken a stand and am sure with time we will come out better.

I do t think yoy travel out of the country try for leasure or for Business if you did. You will want to slap the CBN govt.It is worthy of note the dollar issue regarding ban on forex is a ripe effect due to the wash policies. They might not have expected thes consequences .

sanmibukunmi:
Good.....let our local airlines start taking their place sharp sharp.....what happened to arik and co?? we don't need the foreign ones.

wise CEOs of local airlines should see this as an opportunity to develop and make more profit from international flights since there will be reduced foreign airlines doing it for us......
For the first time I am supporting emefiele's move.

This why yoy lot fail and Nigeria is so ooo backward.Airlines who ha e access to dollars in their own country tries are complaining they cannot take their change in Nigeria home here you are compelling local airline who do not have access to forex now to go abroad.how do they the so called local airline get the much needed forex to pay taxes and refill their fuel when they land abroad ie Heathrow and JFK .

repogirl:
simple, you said it all..... But don't blame CBN governor... Blame Boooohari. Booohari doesn't want the Naira above 200 naira to a dollar and CBN is just acting to his wishes.

A classmate of mine on FB once said there is a Northern agenda to this.the restriction of forex seems to favour the abolished cos me and yoy will never see forex to buy frm the banks but it will be available in the black mkt.who are these the abolished. @200 U will never see the forex to buy even wen atm where allowed the bank exchange rates where never 200 it was like 250 to 280..It's either we devalue the Naira or it devalues naturally if this was the case we might suffer irreversible damage like Zimbabwe. The CBN governor should take the bull be the horn and devalue.not to allow free fall

kaymighty:
It seems they have quickly forgotten how much we contribute to the GNPs of their various countries. They better close their guts because they will surely suffer more. Quote me!

You will say that since you do not fly ehh

12inches1:
And those who are wiser still maintain links with their origin Nigeria. Should have said wisest but only God is wisest

Like senator Ben Moris bruce?

InvertedHammer:

I take dollar bills to Nigeria. So they should take naira bills to their countries, find a bureau d' change and do the needful.

But wait. The amount of money involved would be wired out only. Does it mean the banks' computers are down?
The airlines should just be honest and say that Nigeria wahala don tire them...from adulterated Jet A1 to possible disembark with ladder in the near future. Who knows? It could be ropes like the marines next time. I don't blame them.

Did you read 2 weeks ago when the Banks came out to say they have no dollar to back forex transaction therfore naira dominated atm cards no longer allowed abroad?did U?

IamDejman:
I unfollowed all boards and became a ghost member for a year now.

The situation of the country made me like that.

But I noticed things aren't getting better

We lie that things would get better

But they aren't

I'm not supporting or aligning myself with the wailing wailers but I'm saying we need a better change.

Youth need active participation in politics.

This God forsaken men ruled this country at the early stage of their life and still come back to rule us at this old stage

We youth should ask ourselves when we would free ourselves from this slavery

We need the Revolution. Common or uncommon sense

We need revolution.

I believe in Nigeria ruled by Youths. I am a leader of tomorrow but when would 'tomorrow' happen?

You got it twisted bro.it's the fault of the CBN gov it would be worthy of note that the Airlines are more than happy to bank their mo eye in Nigeria but what happens if they want to withdraw it in their country try?do Nigeria have the dollar equivalent as back up to remit it's equivalent abroad ?this is the problem.How do they pay taxes in their host countries?we are now spreading our problem to involve them and all they did was to involve in Biz.Someone here predicted that this will drive away investors see.if the likes of Air France. Lift hand a and km plus Delta vacate Nigeria the air fare will skyrocket. What we need is to devalue the Naira not these artificial and non sustainable approach the CBN gov is employing
And to see you got 7 likes n shares on your post shows how backward and ill informed our youths are.

Trunaijian:
NLC got it twisted. Removal of subsidy is not a deliberate attempt by the Govt to make Nigerians suffer. Nigeria is paying too much for subsidy. We can use the money for other infrastructural projects ie Transport. Removal of subsidy is for the benefit of Nigerians pls. Sometimes I think the leadership of NLC aren't transparent and their call for strikes are not born out of genuine intention for the masses but rather of service for some cabals.

Can civil servant buy fuel at N150/ltr?

docadams:
Hmmmmmmmm
Jeez! Don't tell me all hope is lost.

It's deep bro.all these monies shared in Abuja by politicians where do U think they come from??

barcaboi:
and ur point is.....do u know how many lives were lost due to trailers with fuel falling over...do u know how bad roads have gotten, do u know how many trucks have bn hijacked by thieves and drivers and after stealing they mix water with the fuel wch has in a way cost a lotta lives.....bros haba make we reason am well.....even if we move fuel with trucks; we shdnt be totally dependent on dem..

Guy the UK still truck their fuel diffrence is good rd and proper maintanance of truck. Good rd jobs. Of FG good truck job of truck owners.

docadams:
Hmmmmmmm

That there is Satan and demons ministry must not fail to grow.

In this ministry they are all demons

Ezechinwa:
Every country does use generator, but when you depend on generator rather than the primary means of supply, don't you think there is a problem?

Countries like??

SmartMugu:
Not real. Most solar projects are sited in rural areas because of the availability of land. I don't see any available lands in urban areas to arrange solar panels. Although, that's just the generating part of the project, distribution is a different ballgame.

In the desert North??

elvisdaniels:
Such project will favor the rich cos it has to be in developed cities .

It's Sunday recieve sense.

Chei we don die.confirmed. We get free gas we nor fit harvest Energy from that na solar wey even advance government no fit achieve 1000Mgwat from sef. One chance govt who have lost the plot.

docadams:
At this stage, the modus is not stated though the minister stated it will be a combination of different methods.

Guy the forces against the full working of the refinaries be it up stream or downstream are collectively bigger than the FG.

IbokUtoroh:
Abeg I wan ask these masturbators, what is d difference between these private security outfits n the likes of tompolos, dokubos n gani adams gej employed to guide these facilities n installations?
u dont accuse n blackmail someone of using militants n private security outfits to guide pipeline Installations today n tomorrow when u r there u still employ the same thing u blackmailed someone yesterdY, that s hypocrisy.
buhari said when he comes in he will beef up the army n equip dem to be able to guide our waterways n facilities in nigerdelta region n other places these facilities pass thru, so why r they doing the contrary? n some fools here r telling us its different from what gej initiate.
is it not ayammiri emami n other militants who supports apc now that will be involved n form majority of the private security outfits?
u promised to run a transparent govt yet u cant disclose the cheapest thing abt who r involved in the securing of pipelines since the jtf are not reliable.
I wish nigeria well, though still believe in division of this country.

Ahah it's the same thing it's just change of contractors award contracts to new people but trust me with the Boyz in the Creek it wo t work.the security contact must go bck to the Creek boys.

docadams:
Previously, I would have agreed with you. Now, things are changing.

Nop paying people to guard the pipes leaves windows for fraud

likila:
his geophones are sensitive to about 15m.
they would be strung on a cable along the length of the pipeline or transmit data wireless.
they would also need power which could come from the cable.
if each geophone powers itself, they would need a lot of maintenance.

Na ni Maintenance as it has non serviceable parts. Most self power themselves via solar energy just like the Garden lights.

collinx:
This is why I will always defend my vote for PMB,. on the fuel issue, the only way forward is to try and eliminate to the barest minimum, our overly dependence on importation of a product which we have and can produce in quantum. This is by making the refineries work again no matter the short-term hardship inherent in completely shutting them down and doing a massive Turnaround Maintenance.
God bless Nigeria.

We are still going to import as it's cheaper than producing. The UK and China had coal but they imported it back then cos it was cheaper in till the got a cheaper technology to harvest theirs. Same way America where buying oil until the new technology called fracking came in

989900:
Now, compare this to Diezani . . . or PMB to GEJ.


Tech rules: Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS)

Can typically detect:

People walking when they are 5–10 m away from the buried cable
Manual digging 5–15 m away
Vehicles 5–15 m away
Mechanical digging or other large machinery at a distance of 20–50 m.
Can be used to cue other security platforms such as CCTV or unmanned aerial vehicles for visual confirmation.
Throw in IP/IR/GPS/GSM motion sensors and IP/GPS/GSM CCTVs.
Integrated with manual armed personnel backup surveillance.

I hope this is what they have in mind . . . if only I have Kachikwu's number.

Better than the 'clueless' administration's employment of them Gani Adams and Tompolos.

They won't buy that 2 expensive an eliminates fraud.the people at the top hate stuff like this.

EgunMogaji:
Yeah that's what I meant. I guess I need to start using the word level.

Verdict on the soil?

Well condemned sharp was the winner as it needs little compacting plus does not drag water from beneath via capillary action. .I was quoted 18 here for the 10 tyres truck.

Bunch of losers so they want to tell us that the petrol station they buy from self petrol at 87 naira abi?they need the public to do their dirty work all they need to do is go I to any petrol station no need for calls.

EgunMogaji:
I will do my best to ensure that the road in front is never put in but I make aft about 6 coaches higher than the existing road at my lowest point. I've now watched all the episodes and have now moved to Grand Design Australia and also Restoration Homes.

I thought I saw staircase in your drawings? Your foundation seems like it's for a two story house. I mean ground floor plus one floor above.

Oh if that's what you meant by 2 storey then yes as shown in the pic below
And as for ur DPC level to rd Your height is perfect no kind rd will flood your yard.in the UK we also have DIY S.O.S.

mavverick:
Do you watch that program Bros, grand design ?
Its a good place to draw inspiration, but most of the stuff they show I find cannot work in nija sha.

Ah I don't miss any episode.sometimes it's on while I'm on Nairaland that na the very program.

EgunMogaji:
The question was never about capping, not doing that at this time. Simply is 3 to 4 coaches enough?

I have no flood in my area and my lot is already higher than the road.

Very nice foundation depth. Are you building a two story?

Oh ok.well I should think that 3 coach should do the job
And No it's a storey building.
Regarding the flood what I learnt is if a new rd is built in front of your house the rd in Questione would be sand filled at least 2 feet.so if your house DPC is 2 ft above ground you are already under water if it rains.that's what I meant.I learnt this frm ground design on UK TV.

@ mufutau55, @ EndiaSami, @ lastpage, @ rotecch77, @ topsy23
Thanks a lot sirs, very grateful. Merry Christmas to you all
The only regret I had was not involving people here much earlier, really lost good money to funny artisans but thank God for His mercies and for life.
I will get the pictures of the plumbing, in holiday mode now but plumber assured its okay for top flush. but I don't trust them anymore, that's how they told me all is okay before with piping only to come and be asking for permanent controls for the stop corks in place saying the red onces there were temporary!?, I was like you bought and fixed them so how should I know there are supposed to be permanents stored somewhere?
It's been a learning curve really.
Thanks all once again.

As an aside, I will appeal to all concerned in the spirit of Christmas to forgive, not necessarily forget, Mr Br.... Please tender apology without explanation to all those who your actions may have disappointed or hurt, Mr Ma........ & others; Kindly forgive. when trust is betrayed it creates a deep wound that takes time to heal, what is not needed is constantly opening up the wound
just my opinion
Merry Christmas.

Plz share your expirience so we can all learn ohhh
Thanks in advance

EgunMogaji:
I left my building journal back at home in Nigeria so I don't have measurements of the depth but I had another builder surreptitiously come by to do inspection and he agreed that for that area/soil that the depth is adequate.

The real reason that this is happening is assumption. Builder thought he would be able to step down the area but I was adamant about maintaining the house on the same level for continuity.

Lots of lessons learned. Thanks for being objective and not over bearing with your answers.

I'm going to go ahead with the wall just to shut my builder up but simply wants to know if 3 to 4 coaches will make an impact like he said.

Thanks mate. My build may not be perfect but it will match my character as I am an imperfect person

Aha my Oga we nor perfect at all nah try we all dey try. U know as I do money is not easy to get when you are salaried. So we must try in every way possible to reduce waste.your DPC level is same.as mine 6 coaches hover I have dug 1 mtr down approx 3 ft. Now I did this with the view of the main rd ahead.with that hight I am 2 block coach higher so no way I'm going to be flooded if my street was tiled and filled up to the main rd level. In my view I think the capping suggested should do the trick of re enforcement as yoy can tie the columns together.

uyplus:
Oga $200/day? Man you are on hell of a liar!! Please analyze how you get to spend that amount daily? Don't think we are fools, ok. Some of us on this forum are well read and have travelled wide. Only wasteful people get to spend that amount on a daily basis, but if you hustled for your money and went over to do your PG abroad with your hard earned money, you can't spend such an amount on a daily basis.

Oga try read and understand b4 callings one one a liar.he meant 200 daily atm withdrawal. Comprehend mehn
