The best practice is to fill the Blocks in the foundation with weak concrete (or normal concrete if you can afford it). The reason for filling blocks with concrete is obvious: To make the blocks stronger as if they are concrete blocks.
There is what is called EARTH PRESSURE acting on the blocks which makes the blockwork act as if they are Retaining Walls. So leaving them Hollow like that is not the best however since to avoid the cost of filling them with concrete, they just assign a labourer to block the holes before putting the chain beam to connect all the columns (pillars)

Then coming to the question of filling the blocks with laterite (filling sand), is not a common practice thought some people do it. It is not advisable to have earth on both sides of the block and also inside the blocks. The soil inside the holes of the blocks doesnt offer added strength like concrete will do, so it becomes an added load on the blocks. It is like a pregnant woman. The baby inside her is an added load. Whatever doesnt make you stronger makes you weaker. It's a universal principle.

If you have added questions you can ask on this thread on Nairaland

Why would he even want to fill the blocks in his foundations with sand that can't hold Itself? Common sense should have screamed a big no to him.

@op.
If you can't afford to use concrete use Virgin red earth sand. Never filling sand.

Na landlord experience dey talk not engineer biko.

(1) 17 years old is no longer a minor
(2) it was not a rape case, business gone wrong.
(3) 72 year old man can not rape a 17 year old gal.

And yet one 75 year old Nigerian minister paid bride price on one such girl child recently.

I wonder why.

How did u get to know the pregnancy is 3months old... If the pregnancy is truly 3 months old, then you are simply not responsible for it. Period!

10 weeks can be mistaken for 3 months or even 2 months. He should be calculations in weeks as someone said

lexy2014:

I'm Nigerian. Igbo.
I won't marry a Ghanaian but I swear to God I'll hire one to teach my future wife how to cook this thing and others from your tribe especially the beans.

Lol

Apparently you never earpiece wey 10k no fit buy

nsukkachap:
Na you dey deceive yourself. See how people hunt for drinking water in Enugu capital

If you have been to Enugu before let me ask you a few questions if you pls.

In case you missed the subject in primary school entirely eastern Nigeria is several hundred meters above sea level. Hence, it's called the eastern Highlands.
Water is scarce in such areas and boreholes terribly expensive

Lagos on the other hand is at sea level. Put shovel in the ground 2 times and you see water.

The borehole in my house in Lagos cost 25k to drill in 2013 but the one in my house in Imo cost 1million

In Lagos just 2 long pipes entered the ground to get water but in Imo we needed more than 50 pipes

In Enugu, 80 pipes is not ok. Its so deep you need a super powered sumo in the ground to pump the water out. This means only the rich can afford boreholes

If you have any record of government doing the needful by drilling borehole for the needy people of the east post it here.

Knowledge is free. It's what gets you a good job.
Oh, wait. Lemme guess. You are young and jobless!

Clearly I'm wasting my time.

nsukkachap:
95% of Enugu town is slum

Keep deceiving yourself. It's a free world

nsukkachap:
Stop crying, Enugu is worse than all those places you mentioned. Watch this video to see more

That's Abakpa and obiagu. It's the slums.


Try get money so you can live in better areas. There the house are wey more expensive than in Lagos

Ruke1989:
She has this useless middle aged man in her office she resumed 4 months back who has been toasting and threatening to seep with her at all cost. She told me two months back, I warned the man to refrain but he didn't stop

I got a call from her today that the man showed up in her apartment and forcefully penetrated her vagina with his penis. According to her she managed to hit him in the forehead with an object before he pulled out his plug. I asked her why didn't you shout? She claimed no neighbor were around that she screamed

I asked her how did he know your house given the fact I warned you to ensure he never comes to your house or be alone with you at any point? She has no response

I broke up with her. I feel pained though that I have to let her go because I was her first man and I called her a month back to come home and inform her parents about the relationship. I intended securing the marriage first before investing to support her education and I told her at least we need to do a traditional first before any such spending.

Unfortunately she had been raped by a man in Ibadan old enough to be her father. She is distraught and kept it to herself for 3 days before tells me today. She is from a poor background and only trying to work on a 30l job to save over N360k she needs to pay up before her school can let her pick her RN nursing certificate.

I feel disappointment and won't marry this girl anymore but I want this foolish man punished over this. He refuses to pick my call. His phone number is 0805 023 9636

Guys call him and if you know him let more details be exposed here.
He works in a skyline specialist hospital at Iwo road Ibadan and is a friend of the manager. The poor girl raped doesn't know how to go about this case but is an employee of that hospital from a really poor background. She is afraid police may make this harder for her by milking her money without result

My guy, man up pls

Listen to me and I'll speak from experience as a man who has been in your shoes.... 30s, seriously broke and jobless.


No good woman will touch you. No woman at all will marry you and respect you as you are.

Why?

You see, you are nothing more than a beggar. They'll just make you their slave, full time servant or an object of ridicule, and there will be nothing you can do other than wash their undies and do the dishes daily.

Go and make money, however small, then try again.

I have passed your stage and to God be the glory. I'm 40 now, still single and seriously searching but not begging like you. No one marries well by begging.
Right now, despite the hard economy, I can feed any girl even a slay queen and her entire family. By God's grace I will find the kind of woman I want soon.

Go and work, my brother..

XXXXTENTACION:
No it's my sister ...

Oh. Nice

XXXXTENTACION:
So like how did you manage to become a writer

Joblessness for years and a burning desire to show famous authors i can do even better
Is that you on your DP?

XXXXTENTACION:
Am curious please like what did you study...

Engineering

XXXXTENTACION:

It has no bearing whatever on what I do today.

I think that's what you really wanna know

XXXXTENTACION:
Even when you find her can you afford her

Come from poverty and for many years I was so poor and it delayed me in marriage. Hell, man, a gf was hard to get sef.

I started writing free stories on nairaland literature section in 2016. Became a legend here overnight. Okadabooks bestseller same year.

Kept earning peanuts until November last year.

Today, I'm a published author in 7 countries outside Africa including the USA, UK and Canada. I have an entire page on goggle search now.



I'm sorry, what was your question Again?

XXXXTENTACION:
Finding a woman is easy it's just depends on the kind of woman you are looking for and your level.....

The type I want is hard to find here in Lagos.

I spent many years trying to become financially stable and comfortable but now I'm that, finding a good woman is a huge problem.

Tall, light skinned and curvy, godly with wifely character ... I haven't been able to find a woman like who fits my future plans and is ready for marriage.

Sad.

My oh my, very legit guy. Those that know me on this website know I don't use those words easily nor do i suffer scammers. If you cheat me for just 1k I go attack you or open thread sharp sharp.

Got a very good VPN from him after making payments first, something I swore never to do again on this scam infested website. Maybe I took the risk cos he's an Igbo guy like me and we just hustle to go back to our village with heads held high. Who knows?

Anyway, I did the biz and no regrets there after.



Thank you, my brother!
