Oga, were these blocks laid by a Nigerian bricklayer?You sure knows how to get the best out of these crafts men assuming if this blocks were set by a Nigerian mason. Neat and beautiful.

For those of us that likes cottage and antiques building, no need plastering the exterior. Just plaster the interior and mount your gigantic french windows.

My former school in Scotland has lots of buildings with exposed blocks that were well laid without plastering like this one

I am not a Trump supporter but let us wait for the supreme Court. What happened in 2000 is still fresh in our memory. Al Gore had already won and was heading to 270 with 266 already before the conservative dominated supreme Court upturned it.

I hope that the Trump appointed supreme Court Judges won't do the same

WandaMaximoff:
I've learned a lot about some Nigerian Christians with this US election.

A lot of us have left the place of spirituality for conspiracy theories.

We've forgotten that it's by fruits we are called Christians, not by sensationalism.

If you think Donald Trump is a Christian and he stands for Christians or has Christian values, it goes a lot to speak of how askew your Christianity is.

A man who has been married three times, his current wife use to be an adult model with a lesbian connotative shoot.

He belittles women.

He is racist and a white supremacist

He speaks inappropriately of his daughter like she's a piece of meat.

He hates his fellow man

A comment like "grab them by the pu*sy is shameful.

Is this what your own Christianity is like?

Do we not have enough problems in Nigeria to pray about or enough lost souls to pray for and preach to?

When last did you even evangelize? If the trumpet sounds today in your current state, will you make it to heaven?

Don't mind those stupid people with stupid interpretation of christianity. The stupidity displayed at Onitsha by the so called Christians was the height of it. I hate it when people are so ignorant and the worst is ignorant religious parents leading their children in the same lane that they passed.

It's time to reflect o, leave US alone. It is not a Christian country like you're made to believe.

They are responsible for majority of the immorality that has creeped into Africa today.

Trump will still win this election. He is an expert in arm twisting established institution. He may force a recount that will likely favour him and if supreme Court is to determine the winner, the court would give it to him.

There's still more to this. Trump is winning d 20 electoral votes in Pennsylvania, 15 in Georgia, he's currently leads by 77k and 16 college vote in north Carolina, which he's leading by 55k. The only problem for him is d 6 Nevada vote, which is so tight to call rt now according to BBC. Bien camp shud nt rejoice yet. Na court go settle ds matter laslas

Well analysed. This man will retain his seat. I have already placed a bet grin

. Supreme Court will mess up the Democrats. Trump said it he could only accept the result of the election if the margin of victory is so high. But in this case,it is narrow, with irregularities.

Biden shouldn't rejoice yet. There are a lot of legal loopholes that trump will capitalise on and win.

Stupidity of religion - Honestly, religion has done great damage to the psyche of humanity, Africans and Nigerians especially.

What has president Trump got to do with the Shithole called Onitsha> They must have been brain washed by one pastor or priest, believing that Trump is for Christians. How foolish they are. Ignorance is the worst affliction. Quote me anywhere. May be, one ignorant catholic priest, full of sentiments must have deceived these ones.

It is time we started arresting the parents of these criminals. There is no need giving birth to children you are not prepared to train or cared for.

There is always a consequence to the society for every child born in the society. Some of these criminals didn't have any upbringing. Theie parents just brought them into the world without any plans.

Kai Kai. So sad. The people that made listening to Igbo music fun.

Why living abroad, each time I wanted to connect back home, I went to youtube to play and listen his music, Osadebe, Sir Warrior and Oliver de Coque.

It would be as if I was in my village. Music is soul and has a way of healing and calming person down, especially when you connect with the story.

Rest in peace Emeka Morroco nwa Maduka.

Dijita:
My question is why are we using iron doors in Nigeria?
Are there incidents reports of robbers breaking down wooden doors to enter a house?

The same puzzle I haven't been able to answer. Nigerian situation has made people to be extra vigilant when it comes to security.

How do you explain the reason behind installing burglary on the 8th floor of a story building. Which armed rubber would climb up to that height? In as much as all those security measures helps, I haven't seen where rubbers broke into homes without such. It happens but haven't seen myself.

If you are living in a neighbourhood with adequate security, you may not need all those things. But if your area is thieves - infested, please do well to have adequate protective measures in your place.

To live in an area, my two main considerations are security and light situation. Before, I used to consider closeness to my workplace, but not any more since I work at home now or in clients offices. The security where I stay now is top-notch and where I am building is also excellent. No incidence of petty thieves, talk more of armed rubbers or burglars have been reported. Where I am building now, people have short and see through electric fences, with CCTV. Not gigantic fences. I haven't seen any house in my street without cctv and I intend to do same when the times comes. The estate security also patrols on a regular basis.

Please resume in your new work place. Businesses are suffering big time now during this pandemic and the Nigerian factor.

At least, you will be sure of monthly salary and other emoluments that comes as a corporate worker. Don't allow awon entrepreneurs to deceive you. Running business or being on your own in Nigeria is dangerous and risky.
