A fellow SS governor made sure that Nyesom Wike doesn't clinch the PDP ticket. ... This gov is Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta state who worked silently to stop Wike. And Okowa is justified for his action. I will explain why.

Wike has been a PDP man since 1998.
He knows Rotation is in his party's DNA.
He knows that if he and other Southern PDP leaders had insisted on Zoning to the SE, it would have happened. But Nyesom Wike diluted zoning for his own gain.

Nyesom Wike knew it was the turn of the SE, yet he betrayed the SE out of greed and selfishness. Twice, the SE had stood solidly with GEJ, SS & PDP. In fact South Easterners are hated so much by Buhari & APC because they gave support to GEJ, SS & PDP.

Now that the SE should be repaid by the SS, Nyesom Wike wouldn't allow it. And fellow SS Gov. Okowa, wasn't happy about it.

So Wike put his personal ambition ahead of the SE zone. Atiku offered to step down if PDP zoned to the South East. But personal ambition wouldn't allow Wike make that concession. So here we are, the whole South is at risk of political slavery.

Finally Wike talks about betrayal. Let it be known that it was Wike that betrayed the South. He is now acting as if he was in it for South. Which South?? His own part of the South produced the last PDP president; why didn’t he support a candidate from the South that hasn't produced a president before (SE).

Instead he was going round shouting ‘give me pawa’.
The South never adopted Wike as their presidential candidate. Instead, he used Rivers state funds & his grip on the PDP to force himself.

He hijacked PDP in the SE, created confusion which forced Peter Obi out of the party. Wike was very selfish. Some govs of SS worked against you, not against the region. You don’t represent the region. I stand with Gov. Okowa for stopping you.

My advise to Wike is to make amends with his brothers in the Southern PDP whom he offended. And redeem himself by supporting the SE.

Terabyteck:
He doesn't play anti party.
He is a true party man.

If PDP comes to Power He will be at the helm of the Government.

Obi is unlikely to win anything, no politician will invest in a platform that has 0.001% winning rate.

It is either he supports Atiku or he betray PDP and go with Tinubu or his Brother Amaechi.

If power goes to the east in 2023 nigeria would transform to canada or what? Yeye de smell.

mrvitalis:
Stop blaming north ...why should north support south east ?

Jonathan that Igbos were relegated for did you hear him learned his voice for south east president ?

Did south south support Igbo presidency ?
Did south west ?

The biggest losers are the none wazobia tribes ... zoning is the only way they can be president but they missed it

Oleys:
As it stands today, the two leading parties in Nigeria (PDP and APC) that may produce the next President to succeed Buhari in 2023 have jettisoned the rotational presidency we adopted since the beginning of our fourth republic in 1999

Today we have the president (Muhammadu Buhari) from the north and the chairman of the ruling party APC (Adamu Abdullahi) are from the North

PDP has a presidential candidate from the North (ex Vice President Atiku Abubakar) and the chairman from the North (Dr Iyorchia Ayu)

Ma fi nu mi, mo mon jee

If we have a restructured Nigeria, i would not have cared less but in a dysfunctional Nigeria where we have adopted the “quota system” that is skewed against the south, i will cry blue murder

I’m a Yoruba from the south and i will not rationalise any excuse or political explanations or exploitations that will make me become a second class citizen in my country

If I allow it, my children will call me names like “olosi or oloriburuku (useless and worthless) father” for allowing this to happen

I’m still waiting for Buhari to name his successor to know the next line of action

I’m watching with keen interests

Good Day:
Lets explain concrete mix and how your bricklayer is expected to mix your next foundation / decking.

Most time as Non-Construction experienced house builders, we put our trust on the bricklayers to mix our concrete rightly, however very few of them can be trusted to do the right thing - If your bricklayer negotiated for material and labour (its even more difficult to trust him) because he might be maximizing gain and reducing materials; often times even when you buy your materials; they tend to put in excess sand, granite ratio to minimize time spent in doing the job.

LETS DISCUSS THE BASIC RATIOS AND WHAT IS EXPECTED OF THEM.

We'll start by explaining what the ratio 1:2:4, 1:3:6 etc. means - What this means is the Cement, Fine aggregate and Coarse aggregate ratio. Where fine aggregate could be Sharp Sand or Stone dust and Coarse aggregate could be granite, gravel or stone-base (for certain project types).

1:2:4 therefore means, 1 part of cement : 2 part of fine aggregate : 4 part of coarse aggregate. This 'part' as used refers to volume. It means If I have 1 head-pan of cement, I'll need 2 head-pan of sharp sand and 4 head-pans of granite / gravel or 1 cup of cement, 2 cups and 4 cups respectively of sand and stone.

The above is the theory of the mixture.... but practically on site; their might be need to modify a bit.

Comparing Granite and Gravel:

Granite are basically rocks blasted and keep 'neat' while gravel are rocks that come with a lot of 'dirt' i.e sand. (in my terms) - It means if I have 2 head-pans of granite; I have 2 head-pans of granite but in the case of gravel, if I have 2 head-pans of gravel, what I have is probably 1 head-pan of gravel + 1 head-pan of gravel sand.

The implication is simply:

If I'm working with granite, I can maintain my mix ratios as theory has it but when working with gravel, you are expected to reduce the quantities of sand in it (because gravel itself contains too many sand) so you don't end having too much sand hence the theoretical ratios can't work.

Solution:
The solution to this is by mixing the first bag of cement & aggregate on site and adjusting the quantities accordingly.

Relationship Between Concrete Elements:

CEMENT - SAND - STONE relationship; In practice a 50kg of cement bag contains 2 head pan of cement; this means that if i have a plan to mix 1 bag of cement my mixing ratio would be:

1:2:4 = 1 bag of cement : 4 head-pans of sand : 8 head-pans of stone
1:3:6 = 1 bag of cement : 6 head-pans of sand : 12 head-pans of stone

but must you measure sand and stone in head-pans when you have large quantities to mix?

We have come to conclude also that 4 head-pans = 1 wheel barrow; so for my 1:2:4 mix - I'll have it as 1 bag of cement : 1 wheel barrow of sand : 2 wheel barrow of stone etc.

Over time on site however; you always find the above mix to have too much sand or too much stone....but that doesn't mean the ratios are wrong; IT MEANS OUR MEASUREMENTS ARE NOT ACCURATE - We can only get an accurate mix if we're using a batching plant (off-course not on our little project is this possible)

MY SOLUTION:
I've studied a ratio that works: and that's what I've always recommended on small projects, especially when the Manual Mixers (that mixes half bag at a time) are used.

1:3:3 is that mix.

HALF BAG OF CEMENT : 3 HEAD-PANS OF SAND : 3 HEAD-PANS OF GRANITE and if you're using gravel, you might need to reduce the sand content and increase the stone content to say 1:2:4 etc. mixed with about 30-35 ltrs of water.

Lastly; the other factor that affect this ratio is the size of stone; the smaller the granite size, the more you might need to add eg if I'm using the smallest chippings (1/4) of an Inch; I might need to make my ratio 1:3:4 instead of 1:3:3 to ensure adequate strength.


Lets create a 'healthy discussion' towards ensuring a safe construction practices...


Thanks.

...and what becomes of those who betrayed the South in 2015?

SarkinYarki:
As long as Jagaban bis contesting it's. It not the south's turn

Those people mentioned are from the south south. Throw it open to the south east.

Nigerians can now earn in US Dollars by participating in the US Stock market.

Instead of buying shares, smart guys trade in stock options.

Only few smart Nigerians have realized that you can make 500% profit participating in stock options

In April, I joined the NETFLIX trade group; they did the PUT option (which means it was analyzed that NETFLIX stocks would go down)

As soon as the stocks went down, my $250 invested turned to $2250, which was available for immediate cash out. That was about 900% profits (If you have doubts, watch kids bleeding millions of Dollars trading stock options on YouTube.

You will have the opportunity to trade on stock options of companies like Amazon, Tesla, Netflix, Microsoft, Google, IBM, Paypal, Coinbase, Uber, Lyft, Shopify and thousands more.

Stock options are an incredibly insane way to generate income legitimately.


While many reading this may have had bad experiences in the past, this is a sure way to earn.
