It’s not cheaper but it’s worth the extra spend. I use facade cladding on my projects as a step away from traditions; to act as second shell and to also shield the wall against elements. Facade cladding are more easier to care for and require little or no maintenance.

On the church project, I decided to use the facade cladding to cover the weather side of the building which is more often affected by rain, wind and weather.

I did same on Ilé Ode 1 to conceal imperfections during construction.

______

Cost: 7,000 - 7,500 per sqm

______

This post is made in good faith without disregard to the allegations leveled against me.
Cost stated is inclusive of materials and labour? Every everyhuh

I am not talking about the red south African bricks. I meant the American panel cladding

Thanks @Blessedsunny2 for the lovely tiles. Everyone loved it.
What are the cost implications of doing this type of American panel cladding over plastering/screeding and then painting? Is it cheaper? It is very common in US.

Exercise no be something to do from Time to time,..it's more effective when it's done always
That's what people don't know. Doing exercises intermittently does not help the body. You have to be consistent. If you don't have time for gym, take a long walk and do some body twisting.

Since I went solo on my career, I haven't failed on my daily exercises. I have time now to do it, take a walk, bike and eat healthy. I don't visit hospital again. I Can't even remember the last time I went to hospital.

IPOB is of no use to the Igbos. People without any means of sustainable living will be dictating how things should run in the region and the supposedly educated ones that are bereft of wisdom are here supporting their stupid act.
You don't cherry pick what to support when you are supporting a terrorist group.

Education › Re: The Current State Of Toilets In UNICAL Hostels by Focusmind: 9:53am On Jan 07, 2022
This is not about the university. It is about everything wrong with Nigerians. Maintenance culture is zero. Build a new one and hand it over to the students, they will just mess it.

I detest anything or anywhere we have congregation of mostly Nigerian youths. It reeks of gross indiscipline, lawlessness and corner cutting.

Nigerians and not following protocols. Those uniformed men in the airport always behaving too daft. He thought he was driving on ordinary road. No observance of strict code while airside driving. This kind of behaviour pervades all aspects of our national life.

All Igbos that wasted their money buying landed properties in Lagos, get ready! You are about to be sacrificed!
Must you show your ignorance in everything?Most of these SE based Igbos could be ignorant sometimes. Why do some of you people always have issues with Igbos building and living in other parts of Nigeria? As if you will give them land in the East when they relocate.
Most of you guys will be shouting, come back home, as if SE is any better with that level of greed, envy ravaging most families and communities.

They should also ban the use of Nigerian currency and reject one when given to them. That is how Arab terrorist behaves. They hate American and anything western but loves their currencies. IPOB is becoming an existential threat to the SE.
Christianity Etc › Re: Pastor Fatoyinbo: Igbos Find It Difficult Donating Money To Churches by Focusmind: 8:56am On Jan 04, 2022
I think they have the Catholic and the Anglican Communion Churches to give to. They hardly give to all these Pentecostal churches.

Igbos built the catholic and the Anglican churches in their communities. Greater percentage of them have contributed significantly to the building and expansion of catholic churches in Lagos. They do not do Pentecostalism. That is the reason why you do not find them contributing to that Pentecostalism and then, their believe system that Pentecostal churches are run by ordinary men with business motives..

Flat roof still remain the best for Africans, if giving to professionals to do for you, this is the reality.
Why did you say that it is the best for Africans? Most African roofs are gable. Is it because of cost?

mountmoriah:
What is a flat roof?

Flat roofs are typically more accessible than roofs that are sloped. They are easier to climb for proper inspection
I love flat roofs but the problem is getting it right and the fear of leakages. I have seen couples of flat roofs that they later went ahead to use long span to cover again because of leakages.

I saw another building that the building walls were messed up. The whole wall have wetness all over it. If well installed, it is always beautiful.

They will come for you later. Going to zoo when you are already inside a zoo. grin

But any zoo without the carnivores is not complete. The lions, cheetah, hyena, wild dogs and crocodile makes the zoo interesting to visit, especially, during the time to feed the lions with live goats or lambs.

Opportunity for frustrated people to pour their unwarranted anger on Tinubu for what he didn't do. If you don't want Tinubu as your president, get your voter's card and ensure you vote your preferred candidate on election day.
Hating on the man will not make you feel any better.

Ur bros wife can't practice as a nurse with masters degree.
He need to do basic nursing courses, sit and pass council exams and be registered to practice.
You can enroll him in school of nursing or register jamb for him to enter university and study nursing science.
You can't be a registered Nurse with just masters in nursing.
Wow. That's a new information. I was thinking doing masters in nursing is possible. I equally told him to try nursing schools and get more information. Thanks for this. I will research more and see.

Icesnow:
which school I Nigeria offers Psychiatric nursing?
I told him to research and come up with details so that I would know how to support him. Going to seven months now, the young man has not given me any answer. I can't be the drummer boy and at the same time the dancer, so says an adage.

I told him to try Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Ihiala in Anambra state. Check with nursing departments of Nigerian universities or other schools of nursing. You can research as well. I am sure there are schools that offer that specialty. After successfully completing the program in Nigeria, you could start with writing practising exams in UK, US, Australia, Canada or any of the EU countries.

Dem no born dem well to misbehave in UK with their Nigerian attitude. The matron of the hospital will exit the person sharp sharp. No time.
UK don't joke with NHS. I worked with NHS in St. Andrews, Scotland as a student for 8 months. You don't dare misbehave.
