My brother, when building in the full glare of the public, you cannot afford not to think every step through, even staying awake all night to plot all available graph and make wider consultations because you don't know who is watching online. Your suggestions will work only when the tilt is a small one, you suggested we go to the lowest point and dig 4-6ft and then use the same level to do all the other parts of the foundation.

Well there is a height differential of over 10ft, 13 in some points from the lowest point, lets assume we go with your suggestion, we have to dig 4-6 ft at the lowest point and keep it level till we get to the highest point, by the time we get to the point that is 13ft higher than the lowest point, we must have burrowed though the ground down till 17-19feet into the ground,  cheesy we go hit crude oil by that time na grin Except if I don't understand what you mean, please explain further, especially about the role of the bulldozer.
I like more suggestions, it helps me to learn more.
the diffrence is huge 10-13 needs huge earth moving machines, sort you dont have at the moment at your disposal,You see if you was building on not to stable landscape you cant afford to step the foundation it all need one level cos of faults, but we dont have that i n 9ja.Well what I meant was the diffrence B/the highest  and lowest point of the land, then you could move at least 5ft of earth if you had the machine thoug not by hands lol if not you will get crude oil  lol grin grin

beeke:
A colonial official, Harold Smith, in a London television interview some years ago provided a window into the motives that informed British policies on Nigeria through the period of colonialism to independence. Hear him:

[b]"When we assessed Nigeria, this was what we found in the southern region; strength, intelligence, determination to succeed, well established history, complex but focused life style, great hope and aspirations, the East is good in business and technology, the west is good in administration and commerce, law and medicine, but it was a pity we planned our agenda to give power "at all cost" to the northerner. They seemed to be submissive and silly of a kind. Our mission was accomplished by destroying the opposition at all fronts. The west led in the fight for the independence, and was punished for asking for freedom. They will not rule Nigeria!"

"Despite seeing vast land with no human but cattle in the north, we still gave the north 55 million instead of 32 million (in the census). This was to be used to maintain their majority votes and future power bid. The West without Lagos was the most populous in Nigeria at that time but we ignored that. The north was seriously encouraged to go into the military.We believed, that the south may attend western education,-but future leaders will always come from military background. Their traditional rulers were to be made influential and super human. The northerners were given acceleratcd promotions both in the military and civil service to justify their superiority over the south. Everything was to work against the south. We truncated their good plan for their future. I was very sorry for the A.G; it was a great party too much for African standard. We planned to destroy Awolowo and Azikwe, the west and the east and sowed a seed of discord among them. We tricked Azikiwe into accepting to be president having known that Balewa will be the main man with power. Awolowo had to go to jail to cripple his genius plans for a greater Nigeria. If Northern leaders have any agenda in Nigeria at all, sadly it is only for the north, and nothing for Nigeria. The time has come now to see people of intelligent minds with an open and inclusive agenda for all Nigerians in power, people who will really look after Nigeria's large population, her wealth, her potentials, her future."[/b]

@arico2k2 u mean OBIAGU, yah obiagu is in asata, the only thing that will prevent u frm getin water faster in enugu is under ground rock or stone, but if u can penetrate the stones then see u see water. it can even turn
to ocean like wat happened in mgbowo awgu. But its not every place in enugu that is like dat, its only peculiar to hilltop places like awgu and nsukka which some hills in this area are siad to contain water.
Yep thats the one, man anything that got to do with digging the ground si a major task when it come to Enugu,the challlenge pass world war,I fill pity for the guys who have to dig Drilling should be the word grin grin grin grin

This is pitiful that they have to burn the land and cut down trees [the greens that could have beautified the house and make the site so picturesque. No wonder the houses look old and ugly considering that the dust bowl that homes have to remain in the middle of.

can't the africans realize that you dont have to live in stripped bare land, but some greens, grass and trees even for shades are part of home living, too?
from what you just said i can say you are clueless bout construction,Plz I aint insulting you ok dnt take it the wrong way, that action you described above Ie burning and stripping the land is what they call Enabling work in construction.For you to put innitial structure on ground one has to strip the land to balance what he wants to put o n ground tehn add the beaty of greens when all is dont to fit the building in question.The problems most contractors or builders have in 9ja is they just build the house not teh grounds and its surounding,Why do you think lanscape is such a big Biz in the west?

On the contrary, 9th mile (Udi area) is known for water, even the state has a water reservoir there; again, companies that require water as their main raw material (coca-cola, pepsi, nigeiria brewries, guiness) all have production plants and depos at 9th mile
Yep I agree with you, you are correct, them companies do have their plant there so there must be portable water source there

nedu210:
oboy is not dat hard to get water in enugu check out places like Abakpa, Trans Ekulu, Emene, Garriki, Asata.
DAmn thats the one I was trying to remember ABAKPA, there are white sa nd there and water aint that far but as for Asata,I dont k now bout that as I lived there 5 years, Unuasat close to Obiago if spelt right lol,what they call streem is water sipping fru solid coal.

^^^ although I dont own any drilling rig or equipment, I have helped someone survey his proposed site for drilling. (Geophysical survey)

From what I learnt about Enugu lands, it could cost you millions to drill your borehole, and you are not even sure of getting water at the end of the day!

The only area in Enugu where water is certain and very clean is the Ninth mile area.
nah 9th mile is even harder, there is a place in Enugu that has normal soil,I have 4gotten whats its called, there are even wells there, my Uni days was in Enugu state my mate lived in that area I have 4gotten its name damn lol now as regards the inbalaance of the area bringging in a bulldozer+grader would have innitially solved this problem, you did not think about it properly regarding the issue of lose soil, you should have considered mesurring and collecting data of the lowest point of the plot that way you dig to that level, xtra sand you get would be used to fill in and the foundation would have started at the lowest point ie 4-6ft downwards from that lowest point and the emerging sand used to refill it to the formal level

crackhouse:
Original = 1700, pirated = 100. To solve it mathematically using this formula original - pirated = change, it gives 1700 - 100 = 1600 therefore change = 1600 ans. Hope u got the math?.
I think you are the one getting your sums wrong, which Nigerian Artist sells thier CD for N1700? name one
Music/Radio › Re: Why Do You Buy Pirated Cd's? Share Your Reason by erico2k2(m): 9:59pm On Dec 20, 2011
well from my own point of view pirated CD account for %10 as someone earlier said above, Artist colect yx amount of money from a guy in Alaba who produce and flood teh street with the music o n CDs, no dont get it twisted the so called fake and original copies sell same ammount ie N100 per CD cso its never gonna be cheaper now I think that takes away the issue of cheapness out of this equation, how about proximity,I will say yeh that too as there are no clear cut marketting struction for music in9ja but then again what do you expect from a country where up and coming Artist have to pay monies/bribes to Radios stations/DJ to air the debute or solo album eh? huh huh huh

2. That all the ducoments he submittd now has been proven legitimate and real, that was why they release his passport for him, that he should wait till after ten years, meaning that he has to wait for another 9 years counting ffrom his first day of submission/refusal as stated in the refusal note,

Iretia:
(3) ACL annually, openly and transparently auction slots to fly into Heathrow via slottrader portal. All airlines bid, there is no mago mago. ARIK, like so many other airlines cant get exactly what they want, they then have to buy in the secondary market. Pure business sense tells u, dont overbid if your passenger load cannot sustain it.(Ask HITV ala EPL)

Well, this is nonsense!!
The Bilateral agreement was signed between 2 countries. If the British govt decided to appoint a private company to manage the landing slot arrangement on its behalf, that is entire their prerogative. Nigeria however decided not to appoint a private company to manage its own side of the agreement. The point is both countries have their different but unique styles of managing landing slots. Either of them must not use its style of slot management as an excuse to contravene the spirit of that agreement.

Elbowing out of Arik Air from Heathrow due to the influence of market forces is entirely acceptable however reducing BA's landing slot in Lagos due to the influence of People's force is also acceptable. This means that both market forces and people forces are acceptable methods for managing the agreement. The British Govt has no moral justification to criticise Nigerian’s decision to use People’s force to manage its own side of the agreement.

And those who think it was generally unfair targeting BA for the sins of the British govt could be right, I mean why visit the sins of the father on the child? But why was it reported that British Govt was concerned about the reduction of BA's slots?

So what makes it right for the British govt to intervene when BA's landing slot was reduced to 3 and a mortal sin for the Nigerian govt to intervene when Arik Air was disadvantaged by the use of the private TRANSPARENT method by the British Govt to manage the bilateral agreement?
So guy you still going on with this argument, anyway what private company was appionted by the british government to manage teh landing slot? and just enlighten me on where to read or give me an extract for this agreement that was signed into law plzzI think the british govt where concerned cos its a govt of a nation who cut short the landing slot of thier national carrier and not some PLC,
PS there are loads of airlines that where maginalized from landing at Heathrow.
