VeeVeeMyLuv:
one of my engineer friends told me that the original plan was for 8 stories, Infact they started with 8 stories at first, along the line the man decided to take it up to 21 to the consternation of construction experts ala consultants! Severely compromised the project thrice! shocked shocked shocked

No wonder some commenters in page 1 were calling him a madman.
The heartrending thing is those labourers who went there for their daily earnings without knowing this and their lives got cut short�

This is why we must always stop being selfish and think of how our actions will affect our neighbors- this is the Religion!

Happy Sunday Bro.

NamelessOGBENI:
I beg to differ on that last line.

I've been with the bricklaying department of a local construction coy for months now and I can tell you that most clients are magical with their demands, imagine someone asking you to come up with a block of 3bedroom bungalow for 1.8million naira and if we try to let them see things from our perspective na another wahala...

When I read a comment from an architect here, I was impressed, only few construction workers seems to know what it means not to tarnish one reputation.
You are quite right but why not stand your ground and refuse to enter a shoddy deal.
It still boils down to greed from the owner and the means to make quick money from the bricklayers or engineers and not only Nigerians, it's in human nature hence we have everywhere but Nigerians ehn...we are special undecided

If all professionals stand their ground and abide by the ethics of their profession, most of these catastrophe will be avoided apart from natural disasters.
And also some do these things for glory( I want to do this so the whole world will know I did it first)- "First engineer to achieve it" and they refuse to listen to reason and just want to chase that goal not minding the cost.
Humans are the most complicated beings. undecided

I run a business and I don't compromise because if anything happens, my reputation will be at stake. The point is we all hate to follow due process, only few do.
I agree with you by the way smiley

HealthRe: Please Help (mouth Odour) by FireRain: 5:57am On Nov 03, 2021
descarado:
The tongue, upper palate, all around the teeth smells terribly and harbour bacteria when not properly cleaned. Stretching the tooth brush to clean the back of the mouth is very important.
People that sleep with open mouth naturally have bad breath that comes from the nose to the mouth. Some have distinctive smell.
I couldn't agree more.
HealthRe: Please Help (mouth Odour) by FireRain: 9:33pm On Nov 02, 2021
SimplyFacts:
Do you clean your tongue daily? If you don't, please do thoroughly while brushing your teeth. I once had mouth odour & that's the solution to mine. Since I started cleaning the tongue, I've had no bad breath for years. If the problem persists after few days, kindly take some other advice on this thread or see your doctor.
BEST ADVICE. The tongue. If you try mouthwash with the odour without cleaning your tongue properly, you will end up creating more issues.

Some spend time "thrashing" the teeth forgetting that the tongue harbours more residues.
Kindly be gentle while brushing the tongue too. Use any toothpaste and SOFT toothbrush.

When we were small in the village, we use chewing stick (Pako) and use paste afterwards.
Good luck to you Mary.

TV/MoviesRe: My Brief Review Of The Yoruba Movie Ti Oluwa Ni Ile by FireRain: 11:55pm On Oct 18, 2021
All the actors (both male and female) were incredible in the movie. Top notch acting all through. I crawled closer to my mama at night when we watched in the 90s especially the ghost scenes embarassed (the dragging) cry cheesy.

I have all the parts in my laptop in fact most Tunde Kelani movies.

About Baba Wande's punishment....I felt same way too but the "gods"(òrìsà) refused to be partial. They dealt with all of them equally even though Baba tried to play smart. cheesy

Have you watched "Owo Ẹjẹ"? Another fantastic script.

FamilyRe: Career Vs Family: What Would You Choose? by FireRain: 10:46pm On Oct 05, 2021
The first and most important agent of socialization is Family, if you get it wrong, all other things will crumble no matter the accomplishment. Family is key. If one can find a way to balance it, no problem but don't joke with "family".

When there is peace at Home, the country will be healthy. Most societal issues we face comes from the failure of solid foundation -"Family".

Some are getting it wrong, choosing family doesn't mean you won't have a career but when placing both on a scale. Let "family" outweighs "career".

You are absolutely right bro.

drimzsmoke:
Don't mind him,I wish I could actually give the guy an E-knock...puberty in this country is between the ages of 9-13years while some authors even believe is 8-14years.
The point is,any puberty not less than 8/9years is considered normal
HealthRe: Kenyan Baby Starts Menstruating At Four Months, Develops Pubic Hair by FireRain: 1:22pm On Oct 01, 2021
Are you saying it is abnormal for a girl to start menstruating at 13years oldhuh shocked

And the parents were buying imported drugs to suppress a natural occurrence?

This must be a joke! shocked
spirul77:
I have a distant relative that started menstruating at the tender age of 13, as a 13 years old she was almost already almost the size of an adult, her mum just couldn't accept the fact that her kid should be going through that and her search for a solution led her to a certain drugs which had to be imported to Nigeria every month from the UK, it cost her a fortune and the family a fortune, they could only afford it for one year and at 14 dem comot hand for the girl matter like hot potato before den sell their house untop menstruation matter.
HealthRe: What Could This Be? by FireRain: 3:29pm On Sep 30, 2021
cococandy:
It appears you have sensitive skin and are reacting to the shaving that you’re doing. Looks like ingrown hair at the follicles

1) stop shaving. You’re an adult. Adults are expected to have pubic hair. Trim if you need to. But don’t close shave anymore.
2) don’t use scented products on your pubic area. Can cause flora imbalance
Thank you for this, hopefully she will see this and skip those childish comments.

BusinessRe: Which Business Can I Invest With N350K To Make N10K Profits Daily? by FireRain: 2:12pm On Aug 17, 2021
Dispatch Service.

Get a two months used bike(most are leaving so you have choices to make) few papers to be renewed.

Join Logistics WhatsApp groups to pick jobs, run adverts on your Instagram/WhatsApp/Twitter.
Build partnership with vendors that sell skin care/clothing online. With integrity/Good communication skills, you are good to go. You can make more than 10k daily.
Easy, right? undecided


What to expect:
Rider will frustrate you unless you want to ride the bike yourself which will be perfect. Rider is the backbone of the business, no rider, all dreams gone.

Touts/council boys will harass you on a daily basis with new papers generated overnight, you can make 15k daily and within a twinkle of an eye lose it.

We are still battling with NIPOST issues(250k licence to run a dispatch service in Lagos) so keep that in mind.

Get a good phone and power bank, YOU MUST BE ONLINE until your rider gets home safe and sound and for you to always pick jobs, monitor deliveries and calm nerves. If you are too busy to run this business yourself, don't start it.

It is always easier said than done. Buy bike and start making money...Bro logistics is draining and only the strong can survive it especially in a lawless country like ours.

Remember this again: NO RIDER, NO 10K DAILY
May the odds always be in our favor smiley

Always say the truth no matter what mr man. That is why this country is where it is now because people like you are shying away from the truth. This is a clearance thread. It doesn't matter if i have money to buy it or not. Items that are listed here supposed to be sold on clearance prices or else the fellow can open his/her thread to sell them peaceful. You don't come and post the prices of new items on clearance thread and you expect us to keep mute. Stop supporting evil.
God will bless you for this post. May you find favour in all you do.

This is the evil we are battling with in this country and we expect good things to happen.

Despicable lots!

I wonder what made us this way but thank God for the few good ones. We will get there. Slowly but surely.
