Thanks for this reply, I have also been following and i've brought polystyrene from Teewhy2 and used on our Ikoyi site - where i totally disagree with happney65 is what you have highlighted in your reply above.

attached is a picture from Bengaluru's Mantri Mall after the CONCRETE PARAPET WALL collapsed - should I then advice everyone to stay away from concrete parapet?



We should NOT be mislead....

Good Sir,
it is a known fact that the world is evolving and change is inevitable . it was also said that we are products of our past but we don't have to be a prisoner to it.
Technology is moving to more lighter products and the way things are going in the next 30 years the use of conventional materials will be limited.
The way polystyrene parapet is anchored to the building doesn't allow it to fall off. if it is a new building in construction the binding wires on the polystyrene panels are fastening to the reinforcement bars and with the help of special adhesive Poly Plaster which is use on the back of the panel and the wall then casting done on it can't allow it to fall off. if you are using it on renovation with the help of binding wire which is use to fastening it to the wall and use of the special adhesive will not also allow it to fall off.
peradventure it falls off which is not likely to occur the material is a very light material which when falls on something can hardly destroy it or wound a person if it falls, it is something you will pick up and fix back without having the material been destroyed.
sir, we will to invite you to one of our sites in Lagos to see how the way polystyrene products work for you to have a better understanding.
welcome to the world of innovative products, the 21 st century.
Thanks

You were right in your first post and you are still correct on this one. The issue I personally have is that you blame buhari for this mess.
Do you think it is easy to fire workers in Nigeria?
Do you think it is easy to increase taxes in Nigeria? When a person tries his best and yet fails, is it fair to keep rubbing it in?
Buhari is flying a plane that is crashing and you are blaming him.
What about GEJ that was told about the bad weather ahead yet decided all was rosy and took off with the plane?
Please leave my Buhari this morning for me.

omohayek:
Let me also take this opportunity to add that this news report only substantiates what I've been saying about Emefiele for a long time now, which is that he is a spineless, grovelling coward who is so eager to cater to Buhari's ridiculous whims that he ignores the independence he is statutorily guaranteed. If Emefiele wanted to say no to everything Buhari was demanding, there would be no legislative or administrative means Buhari or anyone else could use to override him, short of getting both chambers of the NASS to strip the CBN of its independence, and the international backlash that would ensue from such a move would kill the attempt at the earliest stages. Barring some sort of blackmail, the only remedy Buhari would have against Emefiele would be to refuse to extend his tenure for another term, but this isn't something a central banker with any principles would be worried about. Unfortunately for 180 million Nigerians, Emefiele is not such a man of principle.

My child was bleeding from her naval and this kind of bleeding no be child's play oooooooo, my child had just lest than 1hrs to survive and we were really desperate to do anything to help her live, we rushed our baby to this government specialist hospital precisely Braitwaite memorial specialist hospital ( BMSH) because you see, I am revealing the name to the whole world and also to the authorities in the River State government to point out to them that what they have in their specialist hospital isn't human beings but witches who are so happy to see people die if not what on earth could make a trained nurse be so ruthless, heartless and without any kind of affection for bleeding and about to die child who came to be nurse and treated under the able hands of these physicians.


My people, I saw hell, this species of human had no time to attend to us and my child was slowly passing on my God Almighty, thank God Almighty for a very special doctor, the senior pediatrician who was touched by CHRIST JESUS my LORD to attend to us.. this beautiful doctor took it upon himself to attend to my baby oh for God's sake, he was very exceptional, those same nurses, came to this doctor to complain that this baby doesn't have a folder with them why is he treating her, oh my God Almighty, what could have degenerated this kind of human being to this low finish, you need to see the look on my face when those heartless nurses said such, the doctor simply reply them that they could see that this baby is passing on slowly that if this blood isn't stop from flowing through her naval that any help given after now will be zero.


He needs to do something immediately, wow, heavy defeat for witches, by God's grace he finally stopped the wicked bleeding and referred us to Kelsy Harrison Specialist hospital where we did blood transfusion and other serious medical assignment.



Thank God Almighty, my baby is stabilized, but the question remains why this nurses are so wicked minded and without Natural affection, is it that they have seen much death that they don't care anymore if another dies.?

Life goes on

Which glass is filled first?

ultron12345:
yes, we all feel for the baby, but when u run a hospital, and u treat 50 patients on credit as a kind hearted person, but u are only able to get back your money from 5 of them (and u had to threaten them with police and juju before they paid), and it's the end of the month, u are owing workers 4 months salary, suppliers are on ur neck for their payment, the bank is threatening to take ur house and car ebcos u haven't been servicing d loan u took to start the hospital........what do u expect that doctor to do. He can't keep making losses.

ultron12345:
the hospital has been giving different people benefit of doubt and they all end up the same, the typical Nigerian does not like to repay debt. The hospital has learnt from past experience

paiz:
They call you sir
Anything they say you must hear
Even if they are angry you hear "shut up sir"

If na 9ja police you hear "bail up"
Nigeria police need to learn how to treat people

ultron12345:
oga, what is right is right and what is wrong is wrong, whether it favors you or not.

After treatment how are you sure they will be able or willing to pay. Hospitals have learnt from past experience, we have all seen cases where patients flee from the hospital when recovered without payment, when patients families call thugs to beat hospital workers, there was even one here on Nairaland where LUTH demanded N800k after treatment, instead of the relatives to pay up they came to Nairaland to be ranting on why LUTH would charge such a sum. If hospitals keep getting owed, how will they buy fuel, buy drugs, buy equipment, pay suppliers, pay salaries.

When a person who is trained to educate talks, it shows.
You have spoken well.
There's nothing wrong with teaching a child in primary one about goals. The problem lies with the way you prepare the course content and your style of evaluation.
For this level, the teacher is wrong.
It looks fancy.... Yes. But there's a time for everything and a method for every endeavor.

Logic! This is type of logic you will find in Nigeria. Someone kills, burns, rapes, destroys and create an atmosphere of terror but he is not a terrorist but the ones who protest and insult are terrorist. Logic. This is the logic of a mind that is schizophrenic.

The thing is, in this country, some animals are more important than the others. All animals are equal but some are 'more equal' than others. And they wonder why the country is messed up. The president has even called them Libyan and Senegalese Herdsmen.

The Garba guy and his boss are just clueless people who shouldn't have been close to any position of managing people. Buhari talked about NEGOTIATING with Boko Haram and recently, North Korea, but he sent programmed adults(soldiers) to go shoot people in the east.

Buhari on Tuesday called for the restructuring of the United Nations but wouldn't try same in his own country. The man is a terrible hypocritical being. He talked about giving Palestinians their own country but IPOB that asked same are terrorists.

I can't be politically correct at this time in our country's history. No one should be politically correct in this moment of our history. Buhari is a hypocrite and without morals. His Myanmar speech is proof that he is more interested in the welfare of his religion than humanity in general.

There's this guy in my area i have been tripping for, he works very close to my house and i normally hide behind the windows to take a good glance at him anytime he drives in to work and steps out from his car, he is so polished, dark, tall and so so handsome with pointed nose.

I had to make my move by mostly driving out when he's about to leave the office and our eyes meet, Last month somehow i was actually taking a walk with a friend close to Isaac John when i heard someone walking hurriedly at my back screaming "excuse me ladies" Behold it was the amazing guy.. he must have ran some distance as he held his breathe, Asking for my name and my friend while he said his.



He somehow got my number and i got he's.. Now what baffles me is that true caller gave out his name and surname, i ran a check on him on Facebook and LinkedIn and i discovered he is married with 2kids.

Though i haven't told him but he is so into me like he calls me more than 10 times(not exaggerating) and always talk about us traveling to Dubai for a short weekend.

I am tempted to ask him now if he is married and if yes, why is hoping to cheat on his wife.(Or probably he has been doing that for a long time)

How do one identify a Player especially the married ones?

mrjojo:
hmm, "friends", I haven't learnt my lesson though. I trust people easily, and so called friends have so taken advantage of that. It all good sha, we live, we learn. Pm me, we can share ideas if you don't mind

BlueRayDick:
Just take a look at the difference in the number of courses taken at the two schools. 4 courses per semester in the university of Herdfortshire studying her major not some random yeye borrowed courses. That was how I saw an English literature text my sister was reading in HND 1 and I was like, seriously ? Someone studying banking and finance in her third year still offering English literature, to what end?

I remember doing as much as 7 courses in 400l and research project work. Yet you continue to wonder why people graduate with first class in Universities abroad and the same people pull 2.1 or 2.2 in Nigeria.
There you have it, the fact speaks for itself.

Congrats to Folafoluwa.

I guess over time you've made it a habit to run down people and their opinion(s) sticking to yours and those whom you've considered your best.
It is one thing to read a book and explain it in simpler terms especially to a novice client.

Too many responses tend to be purely academic and not necessarily field knowledge.

Well I hope others who read previous posts had something to hold onto because it's quite painful to read one's post regarding a subject and not get the needed understanding.

For what is worth as a general principle or should I say rule of thumb " walls running perpendicular to joists should be considered load bearing and non load bearing walls runs parallel to the joists too".

There are so many perspectives to building a house but it's always important to do one that'll bring comfort, economically cost effective and safe for the owner as rightly said by someone on the platform.

Good Luck.
