michlins:
bro, how would you feel if I do the job for you

I will feel good bro. However, I am not yet ready yet for the gate as I have suspended works on my builds at the moment. Moreover, you are in the East why I am in Lagos.

n3xt:
You might want to add this simple gate design to your design collection.

Bro, like how much would this gate cost? We are kobo kobo team

Seun, Nairaland will be ruined if you don't do something about all the hate on this forum.
You need to expand and expound your rules to cover trolling. There are a lot of troll on Nairaland that are trying to inflame society with inciting statements.

You cannot continue to do this for a nation that has supported just because you want traffic. Stand for something and stop falling for anything please!

I used to come to Nairaland to feel better and laugh and just feel good. But I will delete my account soon because I feel angry, sad, frustrated and disappointed when I come here now.

People complained and made fun of GEJ and the former first lady, but this insults against Nigerian and this ethnic trolling I have been observing on Nairaland?

I think I will leave Nairaland for people that want to other other ethnicities. Let them be insulting on here. Many people are leaving this forum because coming here makes their blood boil.


Enjoy the carcass of Nairaland.

I am surprise with the quality of staff in Nairaland - See how facebook, instagram, whatsapp, twitter and other social media are doing everything to expunge hate speech and put safeguards in place. Here in Nairaland, it is business as usual

Nairaland that was the toast of professionals and middle class in the mid 2000s has turned into an arena for tribal warlords and hate speech. I got all my jobs and consultancy works through this forum, including my PTDF oversea scholarship in the 2000s

Now, you cant read any other thing meaningful without seeing tribal insults and hate speech.

Lets see how Messi performs now - He has been blaming Bartemeou and the board for Barca's woes. Now that they are out, he shouldn't have any excuses again.

If he fails again this time around, the entire Barca fans would descend on him.

Tonygrinds:
Abeg where do you work? I want to make money in Nigeria too and have peace of mind. Connect me Biko. I need a job �

My brother, I work on my own o - I don't work for anybody. It has not been easy especially during this COVID-19 era

People are hungry and need food

mustafaa:
Please stop blaming the North. We are not your problems. Hold your leaders accountable. Overnight success dey purge. Yahoo Yahoo, money ritual, armed robbery, ashawo etc, dey purge.

Change begins with you.

The North doesn't receive the most allocation. In fact, y'all tagged us illiterate and underdeveloped. But look at what's happening in the south today, everyone is on a looting spree. Then you wonder why you don't live in peace with SARS?

Change yourselves, my brothers. Humanity first before anything else.

Apt. You made sense my brother. In as much as I don't like SARS, the crime rate in the South is high. Except for the banditry and bokoharam, North is still safe. Most of the SARS officers that committed those atrocities are all from South.

That's why I said before that I would be happy to encounter an aboki or core northern SARS, army or police than his counterparts from the South. Law enforcement agents from south are far more brutal than a typical aboki police. This excludes those from middle belt o. They still behave like their southern counterparts.

I weep for my country. Yet Belerus has been doing protest for the past four weeks and only 1person has died.

The poverty and unemployment situation in this country calls for great concern. What happened showed the grave consequences of having large unemployed youth population. If there is anyway you could assist any unemployed person, please do.

Nairaland should stop sensational reporting, especially on ethnic and tribal clashes. These news are not healthy for the country. Even if they are true, Nairaland should not support the spread of such news as it breeds hatred, retaliation and civil commotion. Lets try and tone down on the tension in the country. Nairaland, you have a great role to play.

mustafaa:
They have succeeded in destroying Yorubaland. Our traditional institutions destroyed. Businesses looted. Kidnappers, rapists - criminals serving jail term freed. I see a looming unemployment crisis in Yoruba land.

Today, they are accusing Fulani herdsmen of killing their people in Oyigbo. How many hausa/fulani herdsmen are in Oyigbo? The northerners in the south east and south south have suddenly developed numerical strength to attack and kill their people?

Isn't this obvious that IPOBs are trying to cause a tribal war? They are playing the scripts of Nnamdi Kanu who lives in a far land. He doesn't have anything to lose in Nigeria. No family, no business.

Tomorrow they will attack another region. They won't claim responsibility. It always Yoruba Muslims or Fulani.

Please get your thinking back. The past few days may have been very traumatic for you. Say no to tribal stereotyping. Nigerians expressed their anger and you are here ranting about ethnic this, tribal that.

Though hoodlums hijacked the protest, but for once, Nigerians united against a common cause.

humilitypays:
Fake news.


The video is doctored, this is an old video from a local beauty pageant organized in one remote community outskirt Lagos, if I can remember correctly, it was Badagry, and the winners were given foodstuffs and live animals as prize.


I remember some Nigerians mocking the organizers of the beauty pageant when the video first surfaced online earlier this year.



Stop spreading fake news and heating up our nation.


Lagos has been peaceful after the peaceful shooting of unarmed protesters at Lekki Toll Gate. I and my crew personally walked round Lagos to verify most of the fake videos of alleged looting and burning of properties and they were all lies, some were mostly old video clips from some war torn African countries and some from Northeast where Boko Haram have destroyed several communities.


I repeat, stop spreading fake news and causing more chaos!

Fake news is what will destroy this country. Just like the way they used fake news on radio to instigate genocide in Rwanda.

Some ethnic bigots up their have already started saying, listen to her native language. This was an old video. A lot of videos have been circulated online, trying to pitch one tribe against the other by those that thought that unity of purpose was impossible between two set of people. I am surprised that some youths bought all those fake videos and news, line, hook and sinker.

Clout chaser. Catholic church in the SE should caution their priests. Some of these priests takes decision without consulting their diocesan Bishops.

As a priest, you can't do anyhow under Cardinal Okogie or Adewale Martins of Lagos.

Paragraph 7 in that speech na IPOB strongholds - they should be tamed before they turn the whole protest to IPOB issue and the military will descend with full force.

Nigerian military no de take ear hear or use eye see IPOB and their flag

BestMan001:
We want President TRUMP to react

Una go wait tire naa - Trump no send any shithole country . Sadly, some of my country men are still supporting the guy. Ok naa

Colonelswitz101:
Nice one...now dey know wat it means to make the country ungovernable...

Oga, it would come back to all of us. Know what you wish.

By the time we need the urgent attention of the police and without any help, that's when our eyes will clear and be able to distinguish between peaceful protest and large scale destruction. This is totally uncalled for.

And it landed on the "enemy" territory

Benin strong

Cassandrax:
Enugu state government has warned you all. Don't be fooled.

The same set of people that brought this government on us due to selfish interest and lied for five years that the government is working and that there is no insecurity when people are dying in hundreds are now trying to pull the government down by force, the government will return fire for fire because they were duly elected. Be wise.

If the buhari government had favoured that particular section of the country by giving them juicy appointments and promising them presidency, I swear they would be no protest today from this particular section of the country.

Remember this same set of people were laughing and rejoicing when crocodile smile and python dance went to the SS and SE.

Be wise.

I am not against anyone, just making common sense.

QWERTY QWERTY QWERTY

This is not what we need at this time - forget all the comments on Nairaland - People on the street, be it South or North, are not happy with the current Nigerian situation. Don't bring politics or tribal sentiments into this struggle. Let the struggle run itself out.

This is the bane of Nigeria - disunity of purpose in everything.

Reasonable and sensible people are talking and some people here would be falling over themselves over Donald Trump that doesn't give a shit about your stupid country and continent. I don't know the reason behind the love for a man that does not care about your existent and has been so hard on you.

mufutau55:
They are really nice. I beleive the only reason it's not common in Nigeria is because of those deterent iron window guards we install. It will be awkward with those sills. Just my thought. This used to exist in the old house when I was growing up.

Hajji M.

Hajj, this is doable. Just to be creative at the installation stage. The burglar should be well placed in between the windows walls and not infront of the windows.

Finance is just my worry, if not, I would installed those sills using HDF wood. You could still use wood to bring out the sill on the base of the window.

valencia2012:
Hey Folks, Professionals and the Learned in the house......
Please comment on interior and exterior windowsills in Nigeria. I haven't gotten any opportunity to see one. Probably, i may not have noticed though.

This is alien to Nigerians and their architect. I said it before that the windows I like are the ones with flower cups and pots. Not a must anyway.

There has to be a shoot out base on the window front like what you have there where you could put something decorative or any ornamental. The peculiar situation of our environment makes some of these house aesthetics features impracticable.

Everybody attacking Tinubu. When he dangles carrot before the same people in 2023, everybody will start singing his praises. Nigerians have a very short memory.

eburuu:
My people igbo don later succsed in destroying lagos oo make una use una head day are set of bad people

STUPID IDIOT!

People always under estimate SAT. To get admitted into ivy league schools, nothing less than 1580. Please focus on other things in Nigeria. I know you are demoralised but seek for other means of travelling out. Or better still, channel your resources and money to other productive businesses in Nigeria

Those on canada PR will tell you how much they have spent on various IELTS and verification. If you don't have the money, please don't stress it or else you would be depressed

EgunMogaji2:
Back in the USA I had a different idea of what living in Nigeria was all about. I’m wiser now. I think.

I have direct experiences.

Thief: A close neighbor said it took about a minute and a half for the thief to be inside his bedroom via the window with burglary. There are various types and sizes of metal used for burglary. There’s hollow and there’s solid. There’re small size and big size. In my humble opinion if you’re not using solid in big size then it’s a waste of money.

Fire: I’ve watched two houses burn to the ground here in Ibadan. Fire trucks eventually arrived but well after the damage has been done. If anyone was home they’ll have died from the noxious fumes. I don’t think our government tests building and furnishings for release of dangerous fumes in the houses.

I have burglary in my BQ. I’m not sure if I’ll have burglary on my main house.

I reall with that Nigeria would adopt liberal gun laws like we have a n the USA. I also wish that we have a Castle Doctrine.

What I have now is a staggered level of increasingly high levels of defense.

Level 1: High fence topped with razor wife. A casual thief will move to a softer target but a determined one will simply cut and slide them to one side.

Level 2: My Dobermans. I was all giddy as they grew up into terrifying defense animals but saddened to hear of dogs being jazzed to sleep during robberies.

Level 3: Burglary at the windows and allegedly armored entry door. Well I now know the burglary bars are a wishful item and sledgehammers made quick work of a similar door. Also folks have said homeowners end up opening doors for the thieves anyway.

Level 4: Safe room. If all else fails the. It’s to hide in the safe room. It’s hidden but they’ll eventually find it.

Level 5: Last resort is the scorched earth defense. My lips are sealed.

Baba is well prepared. Honestly, if you are not game with the strong iron bars, all those ones that comes with the windows are rubbish. Even me myself can pull out those empty pipes.

May be the burglary is for petty thieves. Hardened and determined armed rubber knows no boundary. I saw where they used plier to clip off and brought down an entire barbed wire mesh on the fence and climbed over and into the compound.

But for gun liberalisation, hmmm!! We will be having dead bodies on the road every day.

Who is bankrolling these hoodlums?

KolaShangOne:
This my client forbade us from putting burlgary-proof on his project regardless of the security situation in the country

I detest burglary on windows. It takes away the finesse and the beauty of the window area.

Just as Egun said, a determined armed robber could easily take down the burglaries. See how beautiful the windows are looking. Install these big burglaries and look at the windows again

I want to see a crystal clear windows with live flower cups or pots rather than looking at a prison-like burglary and thick nets. Our peculiar situation and circumstances in Nigeria is one of the reasons the interior of our homes are not that all eye catching.

The picture of James Nwafor of the famous Awkuzu SARS should appear 10 times in that report - He should be counted 10 times.

EgunMogaji2:
What makes a home a smart home? This was answered beautifully by the good folks at CNBC.

https://www.cnbc.com/2016/05/09/just-what-is-a-smart-home-anyway.html

You have intelligently answered the "architect".

Smart home is not about the physical structure. It is about gadgets and minimal human involvement in its operation.

One of my Ogas in PH bought an old house belonging to Rivers state government in Old GRA, PH.

The building was a colonial building. He just modified it with smart systems and solar. All doors opens at approach. The landscape and age long trees added fine aesthetics to the build environment.

So dear "architect", smart home is not about the look of the structure. Brabus could still explain better what smart home is.

EgunMogaji2:
Thank you Sir.

It’s a Mediterranean bungalow with a central courtyard. I bought the plan out of Florida and had a local architect Nigeranize it for me.


I reduced the windows not only due to the cost but also based on the flow of the house and how I intend to use it. It’s still pretty bright and airy on the inside due to the central courtyard.

Mehn, I love this. I love large French windows. It is just money that is the problem. That's why Nigerian landlords will keep given people one tiny thing as window in their rented apartment.

Large windows brings out beauty. Nice one - congrats.
