I'm surprised at this lack of ambition. These hurdles are not insurmountable. There are a million moving parts in a typical vehicle for which lubrication has been cracked.

What's the difference between this and the larger sliding doors for terraces?

Anyone else interested in running with this as a business, please drop your details here.

Especially if produced as a retrofitted replacement for those death traps we have seemingly made the norm, you will have a ready market here - starting with mine.
A lot of old houses in Ire akari estate have this type of burglary, especially for their large glass entry doors and it is still functioning.

It is a far better choice for men anything. But getting an artisan that could do it well now seems difficult. You will be advised to go with the norm.

Nice burglary design. This seems to be in Cameroon and not Nigeria going by the phone number indicated on the picture. The one I saw in Nigeria was for big entrance doors used mostly by boutique and showrooms.

Do you produce this open able burglary as it is there in Nigeria?

good day please can you help me by mentioning those programs (6-18months ) i have a Bachelors degree in Social Work, and i would love to work in UK. I wouldn't mind switching to nursing, through the route u mentioned. Though i am aware that social workers are also needed there, but i don't know how to go about it.
Hello, read my other posts where I mentioned the potential institutions in Nigeria that offers short programs in nursing. Most catholic owned hospitals and some federal school of nursing. Just scout around.
Family › Re: Adekunle Okunuga Suspended As A Doctor In 2015 For Flogging Son In UK Reinstated by Focusmind: 7:25am On Jan 18, 2021
The same way my friend and his wife were arrested and suspended, respectively in Norway or Sweden, can't remember the exact one as they are now in Canada. They were always coming late to pick their child from school because of work and their hustle.

One day, they came late as usual to pick the boy and the boy was no where to be found. The school referred them to the council, who later brought police. The police told them that from report, they had been consistent in coming late to pick their child from school and they were sentenced to 15 days community work, with the child taken from them.

He told me that the wife cried all-night but he himself maintained his cool. His child was placed in the hands of one retired wealthy couple nearby and they were given permission to be visiting. Just imagine!

The boy stayed there for good nine weeks before they were allowed to take him back with serious warning. From the guy's point of view, no regret as it afforded him more time for his hustle and work but for the wife, it was emotional for her. The foster guidance was superb as they enjoyed their company so much.

The foster parents treated them so well. Always prepared dinner any time they visited. Na so abroad be.

You do know that there are nurses of Nigeria descent in that hospital, right?
The system over here is the bane of our existence, and it's all encompassing, even to the medical field. What's the percentage of budget allocation for the health sector in Nigeria for 2021? Compare it to that of the USA.
Yes, a lot of Nigerian nurses in US hospitals. We met two at Memorial Herman

The whole Dutch government just resigned because of fundamental fraud discovered in the government's prosecution of those that abused the child support scheme. Just imagine!! Here in Africa, the slogan remains, "we die here", whether doing well or not, they will cling to power.

Thanks chief, the door is NAIJA made by one of my guy here more reliable than that of foreign ones
130k for 3ft size.
Nigerians are doing very fine in craft works now. It looks strong like those Israeli' own. Consider changing the handle. I like those small square-shaped handles that looks cute and heavy. But if the client is Ok with the current handle, no problem.

Oga discharge her immediately and move on. Marriage no be joke o but una no go hear. Ok na, just continue.

Health › Re: COVID-19: TVC Does Documentary On Patients Being Treated At IDH, Yaba, Lagos by Focusmind: 4:09pm On Jan 15, 2021
This is what we have been asking for - Govt should show people patients and health care workers in action and not showing score chat.

See hospitals in other countries, showing health care workers in full gear, attending to patients in hospital.

Here, we haven't seen any government hospitals, isolation centers, heath care workers attending to covid patients. Government's action is even contributing in fuelling the narrative that they whole thing is scam. COVID-19 is real and I believe it. I want the government to show doubting Thomas that it is real.

Kudos to TVC. I expected NTA to be showing hospitals and how the government is spending the covid money, building health centres.

I think the first one but seems to be come with iron instead of wood. I think Oga Eguns is trying to replicate that bench type via DIY

Good. Yes, this looks like it but the one I was looking for had something like iron as the support, with rectangular hardwood as the seater/bench.

Bros, Bosun or Bradus is an Engineer naa grin or no be so? I am surprised that you didn't like title like most Nigerians. It is in Nigeria that I started seeing this appellations before some peoples' names: "Builder", "Pharm", "Surveyor", "Architect",

However, I respect your decision.

The way and reason behind men not recognizing their blood when they see one baffles me. Fathers, may looking at your kids, you should be able to see yourself in them. I don't need DNA to tell me that my kids are mine. I could see my typical behaviors in them, including the ones I was told when I was of their age. Fathers, Look at them well, you will see how your eyes moves, you see your smiles in them, their facial expression when angry, their hairs, shape , the way they walk, run etc. In short, there are many features that will convince you that they are yours or not.

And their political leaders, Umahi, Egwu and Anyim are busy fighting. Basic necessity are indeed not basic in this country. Our government are so ignorant of the challenges of the common man. The governor will visit that community and they will fall over themselves to shake his hands and snap pictures with him. People are just too suffering in the rural part of this country. Common borehole. We are just still far from civilization. More reason why guinea worm and cholera has killed more people in Ebonyi state than the whole of Southern Nigeria

I was surprised when I saw the reduction in rate. What was the government thinking? Anyway, this country is designed to be import dependent. That is why unemployment is high. This has created poor middle class that can no longer afford newly assembled cars in Nigeria. South African middle class are still buying made in South Africa new cars, with funding provided by banks and insurance companies.

My concern is the location of the project. That area is den of robbers and kidnappers. Airport roads are usually highly secured but I doubt if the security of that airport road will be ok. People coming from the airport will be robbed big time along that axis. Going to onitsha, I will take Asaba airport than that Anambra airport because of close proximity.

As for paid employment, there is none. She will struggle to get one. If she is loaded with cash, she should look into business to start, like importing fast moving consumer goods. She could as well discuss with some FCMG to act as distributor and wholesale dealer.

I understand that this period may be a trying period for her. Divorce is bad, bitter and depressing if the separation was fraught with bitterness. Don't listen to those bashing Nigeria. The country may actually offer her the needed healing if her family members are here and she wants a new start in life.

Does that mean building sucess in EU is more difficult?
Well, the visa policy during our time was tough then. The conservative government of David Cameron in 2009 made it extremely difficult for foreign students to secure a well paying job to apply for permanent leave to stay in the UK. I actually got full time job with NHS in St. Andrews but my gross income was lower than the minimum £25k then that would have qualified me.

Luckily, an investment bank in Nigeria came calling and I boarded the ship back home. So far, so good. No regret yet.
