WATCHOVER:
Akeredolu has lost it.
What does he take Ondo people for?

Bro, e go shock you - we have a very large uninformed citizens in Nigeria. Those people that are picking the money will still vote for him. Mentality of the general populace is wack and the politicians are capitalizing on it.

When football were played by men - See his muscle and agility - you go fear naa

Respect to team US -94

Yorubas exposure and level of education makes religion a non issue in family settings. I like their liberal nature.

Parents will be Muslim and some of their kids will be Christians and vice versa. This is something the North and whole Nigeria should emulate. Religious tolerance

They should focus also on finishing the building with fine aesthetics. We are used to ugly looking gigantic buildings in Nigeria without adequate care for long term maintenance.

Landscape architecture is not something Nigerian builders takes into account in building. They won't consider grassing the compound, putting walkways and trees. Just build and disappear and the surroundings will be littered with planks, left over sand and stones, un tarred compound and improper landscaping.

Poor old man. See how he was murdered by his own blood.

So people celebrated when this idiot was born? There is always a consequence for every child born to every home, society and country.

Menn, the likeness I have for rough iron now is 70/30 to stainless.
Stainless will still be outdated in few yrs to come YES, just watch out.

Look at this simple one we did here both railing and as burglar bars

Wrought iron is always ageless. Matured and appealing. But for the price, the thing no be here.

EgunMogaji2:
I went with my crew to install energy products on a house and street. The house was a fantastic build but cursed with rusting chrome hand-railings throughout the house. Me I just faced what I was there to do jejely.

You sabi use words sha "cursed"

EgunMogaji2:
I salute you for the choice of stairs hardware. I totally detest the chrome stuff that has become popular here.

Good luck on your project.

I always comment whenever what I like is mentioned. That chrome is a no go area for me. We should be creative with other things apart from the usual ones being used or done. The staircase design here is dope.


If wrought iron proves expensive to be used for my staircase, I use hard wood. Chrome or any shiny metal is a no go area.

Hear the reporter, " Over 2million prisoners" benefited.

My brother, how many people come remain for Enugu if 2million are prisoners?

You see this life, before you give birth ensure you are financially capable to take care of that child, the economy is very hard, i see no reason y a salary earner will give birth to more than 4 children, if God bless your hustle, e no matter how u get money reach no born pass 3, use the remaining energy secure their future

Those this advise is meant for are not here. That's always my worry. Poor people in Nigeria breeds like rabbit. I see them plenty for my area. You just have to pity their kids.

Poor people should stop giving out their kids to fellow poor people

Those in the village always think that everybody in the city is well off. That's the impression village people always have. In that instance, they hand over their underage kids to relatives living in the city but still struggling. The woman in the house will then vent her frustration on the innocent kids.

Some kids have been so traumatized that the trauma will live with them for the rest of their lives. There are some kids you will see in Lagos, your mind will tell you that this kid is not living with his or her parents. There was one mama put I normally eat nice red-hot jollof rice. Sometimes, if you see the way she shouts and abuse a girl of 11 years that helps attend to customers, you would be shocked. I was thinking that the girl was her daughter till the girl told me otherwise. I cautioned the woman and she took offence. I immediately stopped eating there even though the aroma of the jollof rice could always be tempting.

The tyrolean mason guy or the door guy should go and complete his work on that door

Nice crib - my kind of house

I have a very stupid friend from Delta state that was fiercely defending Ibori. He is an Urhobo man like Ibori and if you hear his basis of defence, you will pity the youths of this country and the way they reason.

Irrespective of the fact that he stole all these money being mentioned, Ibori built this, built that. My brother, whose money was used to build those things? Were they not Delta state govt money?

Bayelsa and corruption. That state have been raped by successive administration.

Niger-delta politics is one of the most corrupt in the country. The youths there hardly ask questions because they are easily bought.

Come to Rivers state, it is all about youth this, youth that. Everybody is forming youth association just to corner their own money from corrupt government.

Na so fraud carry him own police dey move up and down after BB show - where is he now? - hunger don catch the guy. After this whole thing, everybody go know say na Buhari Nigeria we dey so - dem go find something to do - no time

See him belle - Nigerian politicians always out of shape since 400BC

As they say, love with your brain not heart abi

The future looks so bleak for this country. I fear for my kids lives in Nigeria in years to come.

I just don't understand some people"s obsession with Tinubu. The man wasn't a candidate in the election and some are rejoicing as if he contested.

beamNIGERIA:
Thanks, I needed something like this (attached below) in the local market. I couldn't find both in jibowu and mushin. So I had to fabricate myself, picture attached.

Hello, please show more pictures of that skirting board you have there. I like it more than using tiles for skirting. It seems using skirting boards is more expensive than tiles but it brings out finer details and more beautiful than using tiles.

Almost all builds in Nigeria uses same floor tiles for their skirting. I like the white board skirting thing more than tiles.

tensazangetsu20:
Best comment ever. Honestly computer science and medicine are the only viable degrees now. With a degree in computer science and solid programming skills, you can work for companies abroad from Nigeria. You can further your education, you can freelance. You can create your own tech startup. Honestly the opportunities are immense. Medicine is also very good. I won't advise anyone to study anything outside of these two things. A lot of people will say oh you don't need a computer science degree to learn programming. Yes this Is true but be prepared to self teach yourself computer science fundamentals as they are key to passing programming interviews. You think aptitude tests are hard. Wait until you get two medium leetcoce questions and one hard question to be solved within 30 minutes. A computer science degree takes you through the whole fundamentals of computer science data structures and systems design and it also gives you advanced domain knowledge of things in the subject. The field of computer science is so damn vast aside web development which is the most popular field out there, there's billions of jobs for embedded software engineers, cloud engineers, cybersecurity analyst, software testers, technical support engineers. The list is endless.


Another thing to note is that IT certifications are so damn cheap. Amazon web services certification which is so damn widely respected and in demand everywhere is just 300 dollars. A diligent person can self study and acquire this certificates. It's unlike fields like mechanical engineering and co where a certification can cost upward of 5000 USD with no assurance of any job after.

You said it well. Computer and IT are the future. Add data science, statistics, maths. Make first-class and source for scholarship abroad. Nigeria is fast becoming a grave yard of dreams.

If You don't have means of leaving this country, you will be disappointed after graduating. First, ensure you graduate with nothing less than 2.1 to be in a better position to source for overseas scholarship. As for employment in Nigeria, graduate employment is a very competitive thing now.
Thousands of graduates of engineering are roaming the streets, searching for jobs. The children of those working in most major oil companies are also looking for job. So, they will have to fix their children first before external candidates the same way top generals and police will first recruits their children and relatives as commissioned officers before other external applicants.

These engineering and other jobs are mostly advertised internally, and vacancies are filled by relatives of staff of the company. Make friends with those in the industry and keep tab of what is happening. Nigeria's situation now is dire. Companies are no more growing to create opportunities for people. Foreign direct investment have gone south and the likelihood of Nigeria's oil and gas sector bouncing back to hire more engineers is very remote.

I counseled people not to be so obsessed about studying sciences and engineering in Nigeria if you don't have means of leaving this country. People that studied liberal arts, management, accounting and social sciences are even more positioned for better jobs than engineers as the Nigeria's economy is not productive and manufacturing based to hire engineers but somehow service oriented which favors those in the social sciences.

Immerse your self in data science, AI, programming, graphics and other technical areas. It is no more about your course of study but about the contact you have built. 80% of vacancies are now filled through referrals, but for you to get that graduate level job, you have to be exceedingly good academically and excel in aptitude test when the opportunity comes. I know a company in PH that conducted aptitude test for 455 graduates and eventually selected just 4.

My brother, graduate opportunities in Nigeria is becoming non existent going by what is happening. I remember in the mid 2000s, we had opportunities of writing many aptitude tests then as the 89 existing banks then were always recruiting graduates. Investment banks, advisory companies and service companies were all recruiting graduates at a level not seen in Nigeria. Nairaland then was a center of intellectual discussion on any upcoming aptitude tests for graduates ,especially between 2005 to 2009. Not now that tribal and ethnic warlords have taken over to heap insults on themselves.

I wish you good luck!

In the presence of those kids "Black lives matters". They are indirectly instilling inferiority complex into the lives of those kids as black.
When will all this black parents get sense sef.. Imagine a kid growing up and having the notion that a white boy/girl life is more precious than its own that they would have to fight hard to resist oppression from them.. Or what is the meaning of black life matters?

You just captured my mind - the kids should kept out of this blacklives matters - it would make them to feel inferior. Sentiments apart, black lives matter is doing more harm to black community than good.

martineverest:
wetin concern me?....didn't they see how shu'aibu remained loyal despite how oshiomole single handedly brought him to limelight

My deep respect for the deputy governor. I thought he would be the first to jump ship considering how close he is to Osho and how osho assisted him in the past. Most times, deputy governors are usually used to get at the governor but the guy remained committed - he would surely reap the reward.

Please where is Lara? I hope what I am hearing is not true say she don jaapa

michlins:
I don't know why this burglaries having escape patches seem like a big deal to you folks. Most buildings have such. Imagine the building burning and there's no way to get to safety.

It's made with the approximate size of 2ft by 2ft and you have a lock. The escape patch is made in such a way that you don't even know it's there. It incorporates the design of the burglary

Bro, please show us naa - You see how Brabus always use numbers and pictures to illustrate his ideas which I always find fascinating. When things are presented in numbers and pictures, they make more sense. If you have any sample of what you stated or internet picture, of the burglary make I see.

Badgers14:
Excellent idea on the Openable burglar proofs.

I had a sketch once, trying to implement that in my build, the welder was like oga , them no dey build that kind here... all my efforts to talk , talk fell on deaf ears

I detest the ones that look like jail. I mean, how could you seal up a flat like that? What ifs... what if there was a fire? And so on and on...

In an effort to protect ourselves, we shouldn't make the situation worse.

I like forward thinking individuals.

Similar i don't like the fence they build up everything. It is an added security to build up the fence half way then use burglar bar of some sort to finish up the rest. So when someone is walking by they could see through the fence. Privacy concerns yes but added security yes also.

If someone is really doing anything private private, they will have to go inside their flats

I don't know if I am taken a big risk. My window areas upstairs do not have burglary - some have just single bar to protect the kids from any rough play of "jumping" out through the window. Personal choice if you ask me, I don't like burglary and nets on the windows - just that I don't have any choice. Even curtain is not my thing - Venetian blinds may appeal to me but I prefer to look at the outside environment through a plane clear glass in my room

Do Buhari tweet at all? I mean personally drafted tweets not the one drafted by aid.

wizzyrich:
Does it mean if people are not there to observe the process, INEC cannot conduct an election free from manipulation and rigging ?

Shame on INEC

Bro, it is about the current mentality of Nigerians. If you are not around when things are being shared even when you are entitled to receive it, the sharer will bypass you.

In Nigeria, you have to fight for what belongs to you or else it would be taken away.

TonyeBarcanista:
This is the result of Orhionwon LGA
APC 10458
PDP 13445

The Electoral Officer of INEC in the LGA, Returning Officer for the LGA and APC have started their evil tactic to shortchange the people of their will.

The attempted robbery will be resisted.

Some of them don’t make use of good antitrust paint as primer
What I do in most case is that I do buy my key myself

Please give me any example of high grade anti rust paint you know as I would want to it apply on a balcony pergola I want to do using iron and also for my gate.

Left to the artisan, they will get the normal and low grade one and if you ask, Dem go say na Wetin other people dey use.

It is not yet Uhuru for PDP. As someone rightly said, the supreme Court is waiting for them. I trust APC to use seasoned SANS to unearth some technicalities in the election. The success of any election in Nigeria these days does not lie in the election proper but on the court and your ability to defend your victory.

Obaseki's nomination was seriously marred in controversy and I trust Wale Olanipekun to "win" the case for APC in the court.

BrabusNG:
The covid19 pandemic has shaped me a lot and I think the focus of every business leader right now should be “How do we get the next 10 years right?”.

Leaders who can see the future seize the future.

I already know that massive mansions are not in my future no matter how rich I become.
A small bungalow on 2 acres of land is all I see!

I know a guy in Iyaganku GRA that has something like this with Astro Turf. His house is where professional footballer come for training back in the days.
That’s like 2 decades ago!

That’s the type of life I want.

I don’t want to be shouting “Who’s that? Who entered?” in my own house.

I’ve seen it and it’s not worth it at all.

For me, good landscape trumps large build anytime any day. I will prefer a contemporary and smart two bedrooms with large space for gardening to a hefty build in a small space.

When you go to highbrow areas in scotland, you will see a typical small stone cottage bungalows with breathtaking green landscape.
