Properties › Re: Bricklayers Labor Charge For Lintel. by gabbasin(m): 6:25pm On May 11
If its just a bricklayer workmanship for casting a 2 bedroom bungalow which should not be more than 10 castings (windows and doors) in total. You should be able to negotiate it to 100k. It's what a bricklayer and his labour can do in a day.
You can get one or two other bricklayers to give you their charges. One of easiest job to do by a bricklayer is lintel casting. The labour guy will do most of the work of mixing granite, sand, cement and water together with pouring the mix while the bricklayer work is just to spread the mixing
Foreign Affairs › Re: Ugandan Man Summons Swarms Of Bees In Court by gabbasin(m): 9:19pm On May 08
Believe this story at your own peril, Africa with it's munbo jumbo belief. Bees swarm around a courtroom, but because someone is standing accused in the courtroom so he's the one who commanded the bees to sawrm the courtroom so as to truncate his trial. The things we believe in this continent is why we will forever be far far behind in civilisation
Car Talk › Re: Toyota Owners, What Is That Part That Frustrates You The Most? by gabbasin(m): 10:15pm On Apr 27
If engine oil is getting dry, it has to be oil leakage or wear and tear of the engine. Check for oil leakages around the engine and under the engine. If no leakages detected, it's most likely the engine is having wear and tear problem and it's either you change the pistons and rings or you get to replace the engine. I will recommend the latter.

Nairaland General › Re: Definition Of Status Quo Ante Bellum by gabbasin(m): 12:15pm On Apr 03
Status quo: the situation currently
Status quo ante bellum: the situation before the war. Anyone who's claiming INEC's interpretation of the Appeal court decision is wrong is either playing the ostrich or just being mischievous. If the Appeal court wanted the current ADC leadership to be at the helm pending the determination of the case at the High Court would have just said the parties should maintain status quo.
Music/Radio › Re: A Nigerian Composed A Song For Tinubu's Electricity Promise. by gabbasin(m): 3:47pm On Mar 21
Our politicians with empty promises, they always promise what they can't deliver. All of them are trash, they're just after power and nothing more.
They can't stand by their words.
Crime › Re: Video Of Sokoto Residents Relocating To Other Regions Due To Bandits by gabbasin(m): 8:50am On Mar 16
I doubt if banditry will ever end in northern Nigeria, too many kids that they can hardly cater for. All I see in the video are future bandits.
We need to work on reversing the exponential growth of our population in Nigeria, especially in the North
Crime › Re: Bandits Kill 20 Security Operatives In Plateau Ambush by gabbasin(m): 11:48pm On Mar 14
Boko Haram ìs a child's play compared with banditry and killings in the north. At least Boko Haram ìs mainly confined to sambisa forest and it's environs and can get dealt with in the long run. I don't forsee an end to this scourge of banditry in the north west and killings by fulani militia with the attendant reprisals in the middle belt in decades to come. These terrorists have become more emboldened in these ungoverned spaces that they feel they're beyond the reach of state apparatus.
Politics › Re: President Obasanjo Didn't Win Any State In Southwest In The 1999 Elections? by gabbasin(m): 11:28pm On Mar 14
Two Yorubas were on the ballot, one was overwhelmingly voted by the Yorubas, the other wasn't hated, he's just not the Yoruba choice. Flip to 2003 when Obasanjo contested against a non Yoruba candidate (Buhari), he got the majority vote of the Yorubas.
Politics › Re: Tinubu Has 4 Options On Petrol Prices — But Only One Will Work For Your Wallet by gabbasin(m): 12:04pm On Mar 10
Any form of subsidy will by abused. Officials in the petroleum industry will inflate subsidy figures as daily consumption can suddenly rise to 100 million litres from 60m while ordinary folks will divert product to neighbouring countries. They will game the system and another round of subsidy fraud will be here again

Politics › Re: ₦14.83 Billion Earmarked To Feed Over 91,000 Prison Inmates In 2026 by gabbasin(m): 11:12pm On Feb 11
Less than 500 per inmate daily, this is too bad, how can a prisoner be fed daily with just 445 naira. Our prisons aren't correctional facilities but awaiting death facilities. If we can't feed our prisoners fairly well, we should fashion out a system that can make them work and earn some money to augment their ration. Being an inmate in our prison is tantamount to being punished with a slow death. Killing dem prisoners softly
Crime › Re: Wrongfully Detained Man Regains Freedom After Three Years In Ikoyi Prison by gabbasin(m): 6:06pm On Feb 06
Our criminal justice system is defective, the system from the police, to the courts and correctional officers are rotten and wicked.
Politics › Re: Bandits Set Fire On Church, Police Station, Kidnap Niger State Residents by gabbasin(m): 7:46pm On Feb 01
Banditry has come to stay in Nigeria. Government at all level have no clue on how to deal with this menace that's causing death and destruction in rural agrarian communities in Northern Nigeria. It's easier to deal with Boko Haram than banditry, àt least Boko Haram ìs confined mainly to Borno state and it's easy for the military to bombard them from air and land, but the bandits have more of the ungoverned space to move up and down abducting and killing hapless villagers. The bandits are scattered everywhere in North West and North central of the country.
Education › Re: Lady Celebrates Convocation At Late Father’s Grave, Touches Hearts Online by gabbasin(m): 3:53pm On Jan 24
If my memory serves me right, her late father was a one senator representing Lagos Central and was succeeded in the senate by Mrs Remi Tinubu, he's also a former chairman of Apapa local government
Politics › Re: Why Tinubu, Atiku Shouldn’t Contest Presidency In 2027 – Hakeem Baba-ahmed by gabbasin(m): 11:23am On Jan 21
It's a democracy, if you don't like either Atiku or Tinubu, campaign against them and vote Sowore or Obi.
Politics › Re: Petrol Demand Surged To 63.7 Million Litres Per Day In December – NMDPRA by gabbasin(m): 5:18pm On Jan 16
Petrol is still being smuggled to neighbouring countries due to cheaper pump price. The more it's not being subsidized by government, it's ok
Politics › Re: Peter Obi Didn’t Deceive Anybody, ADC Not Atiku’s Property – Shaibu To Keyamo by gabbasin(m): 9:08pm On Jan 02
Atiku owns ADC and Obi is aware, only Obidients are being fooled to believe Obi has a chance in the primaries. Òbí has already negotiated the Vice presidential candidate nomination and it will only be revealed after the primary election, by then the Obidients will have no choice than to accept it as "half bread is better than none".
Now the slogan is "Obi or nothing", by then the slogan will be "anyone except Tinubu"

The presidential election winner is already known, it's fait accompli for the incumbent. Only death can snatch it from him.
Autos › Re: Tyre Burst Caused Anthony Joshua's Car Crash, Says Ogun Police (photo) by gabbasin(m): 7:56pm On Dec 30, 2025
oyeb15:
What caused d tyre to burst ?

Bad roads
when you abide by the speed limit and have a tyre blow out, the impact might be minimal, but tyre blow out at high speed can be fatal and that's why it's advisable to maintain a safe speed. Most people driving SUV don't realise tyre blow out can be more fatal at high speed than with saloon car. I don't speed beyond 90kph with my SUV no matter how smooth the road is. I know prominent people in this country killed due to tyre blow out in their SUVs, chief among them are General Abdul Karim Adisa and a minister in Buhari's cabinet from Kogi State. We should adhere strictly to speed limits so that in case of any eventuality we can be in control. Speed kills.

Car Talk › Re: How Nigerian Drivers Destroy Their Car Engines Without Knowing It by gabbasin(m): 1:42pm On Dec 22, 2025
Change your car engine oil at every 5,000 kilometres covered, this I have been maintaining for the past 13 years on the same car, but the issue is that nowadays it takes me 3 years to get to 5,000 kilometres, and it's been 2 years I last changed my car engine oil
Politics › Re: APC Is Suffering From Entitlement Mentality - Dele Momodu by gabbasin(m): 11:01am On Dec 19, 2025
Dele Momodu got it wrong, the first lady isn't angry because Jackson Adeleke refused to defect to the APC, Adeleke wanted to join APC but the entrenched powers that be in the Osun state chapter of the party rejected his bid to join them despite the party at the national level giving him the nod. The APC in Osun state believe they have what it takes to defeat him in next year's governorship election.
Health › Re: I’ve Had These For Over 6 Years, Help. (pics) by gabbasin(m): 11:08pm On Dec 08, 2025
The only cure is you not trying to pinch or scratch it. If you pinch or scratch, it will spread fast and the scar will be awful. It will go on its own if left untouched.

Maxymilliano:
We do watch Inspector Bediako on NTA then but not in this age and time
I so much like the series then in the early 90s, there's a Nigerian version of Inspector Bediako titled "Third eye" starring Olu Jacobs who's the detective in the series
Politics › Re: Distribution Of Campaign Vehicles: Profound Insensitivity & Abuse Of Trust — Obi by gabbasin(m): 5:03pm On Dec 04, 2025
Obi is being intimidated, just a tip of Asiwaju'a war chest and Obi is already trembling. They can be surreptiously playing the politics while PBAT shouldn't because of the security concerns.
