Health / Re: Man Dies After Sleeping In Freshly Painted Room (Photo) by gbadexy(m): 3:09pm On Mar 18
emmyN:
Gbadexy, you manufacture paints. Any idea what could have happened?
Yes sir, any number of volatile chemical preservatives could have killed him.
The government has banned the use of chemicals like formalin, and ammonia that have chocking effect but some people or companies still use them. Best to open the place and let it air properly for a day.
Solvent based paint are the worst. The volatile solvent is more dangerous. I've been to businesses and restaurants that operate after being painted with the gloss, it's very chocking and would definitely kill if slept in such place with poor ventilation.

Tomorrow, someone with such mindset who has refused to help himself and grow his business would still approach you for financial help.
Below is the job I advertised here last month for SE. Someone here approached me and got it. Over #10M . He is not Igbo.
We have some resident rabble rousers here. Age would change their perspective. I would be disappointed if such are matured people hiding behind keyboard.

Guys, please I beg you all with whatever you worship, don’t pay attention to this fella.
Decades ago, a friend was to rent his first office accommodation to start his business, through an agent using his company name. After payment, the money was refunded because the landlord later found out he is Igbo. He collected his money back and was so dismayed.
Long story short, today he is the biggest landlord in that part of the town.
While you continue to see everything from the angle of tribe, people are working together irrespective of where they come from. As we speak, I have 4 Yoruba guys from Lagos working in my site in the East. It’s about merit.
You cannot quench anyone’s light. God bless whom he wishes to bless.

You are very correct.
But the new CBN policy has changed everything. The dollars sent from abroad is now cornered at the top level by the banks. No one will pay any receiver in dollars anymore. All the banks only pay naira at official rate when you send dollars from outside.
It used to be that when you send dollars, you receive dollars and do whatever you want with it. But not anymore.
It would be a good policy if we business people can access dollars from the bank.

Oh i am not looking to use it for priming, I am going for this limewash look for my place, thus my enquiry.
The background is showing shadows of objects there. Whitewash would rub off slightly and may not be ideal inside although it may let the wall cool due to the porous nature.

Do you also deal with limewash paint?, I have enquired from 3 painters so far and they have no idea what a limewash is.


I could supply you but you would be wasting your money. Forget whatever you read anywhere. Limewash can't compare with ordinary budget emulsion in priming.
It definitely won't reduce paint consumption and may even increase it.

Is this why a bag of maize that used to 40k is sold for 80k now?
Is this why a bag of rice that used to 45k is sold for 80k
Or bread that used to 900 is sold for 2k.

I hope you realize that those small importers like phone dealers are not able to get dollars from the banks.
You're are correct sir. When I wanted to open a domiciliary account, I was told to go and buy the dollar outside to fund it.
Subsequently, I buy from the black market. The BDC operators are always inside the banking hall to also buy directly from those that collect western union. Mostly they get it directly from the banks as they are familiar with the staffs there.
The banks are the main culprits. They get the dollar at the official rate and don't let it get to the business people that need it at the official rate so that they buy at higher rate and pass it to the customers.

nigeriansamurai:
i believe what we call angels, demons and other entities are aliens or can also be called aliens. If you look at the image of heaven where angels come from it is a place of higher consiousness and enlightenment (they are smarter). It is not far fetched to say that angels are capable of creating or using higher technology(story of the watchers can be an example). An alien is simply a foreginer, A very simple example is a Tiger in Sahara dersert, what more an intelligent life from another dimension.
In Islam which I practice and can only give perspective on, angels do not possess free will to do anything except carry out specific instructions.
What they call alien are definitely other creatures of the Almighty creator.
The jinns are also very powerful and there are good and evil ones. They have different temperament, tribes, races, power and religion. The adherents of satan (iblis) are the so called demons.
In Africa traditional religion, they are the main actors and they have white and black witch in Yoruba traditional religion with the whites doing good and black evil. They are smart and have no limitations that physical body gives humans. They would be even more powerful than the lizards this op is claiming as his gods and they are all creatures like us and even under control of some humans.
They are even more inferior to angels but angels act on instructions only.
This person is trying so hard to mislead people. Any sane person should know light is good and darkness evil. Why would you want to train your subconscious to automatically seek darkness after death if you are capable of making that choice.

first I admire your inquisitive and fertile imaginations but what you must realize is that the Earth has never been visited by any aliens or ever have an advanced civilization,the universe is far too big even for your imagination to comprehend,our nearest star the alpha proxima is roughly 5 light years away,which means that a craft traveling at 300,000 Kim per second will take 5 years to reach Earth,this is from our nearest planetary system,now how can a civilization that had such advanced tech will come to Earth to dig burrows in mountains and hills like rats,drag stones to build pyramids and other feats our ancient ancestors accomplished that we find impossible today,the Earth is just a grain of sand on a beach compared to the vastness of the universe,even the powers of God recorded in the Bible is inconsequential compared to the universe
You have correct brain matter. Unfortunately lots of impressionable easily swayed youths here wanting to believe the seemingly easy way.
I think Islam gives an insight to how infinite the universe is. We say lord of the heavens and earth. We are told man is made from clay, jinns from flameless fire and angels from light. Those things the op posted are very minor things jinns can do and they are creatures of the almighty like us. Some say Solomon in the bible made use of them to build some edifice.
An excerpt on angels and perspective of vastness of the universe in Islam;



Angels and Their Travels
BY ZAID SHAH
Heavenly Message Bearers of Allah ﷻ
PUBLISHED IN: SELF
DATE: 27 / 06 / 19
TAGS: EDUCATION ISLAM SUNNAH QU'RAN ENERGY


Allah ﷻ says in the Quran: “ALL PRAISE is due to God, Originator of the heavens and the earth, who causes the angels to be [His] message-bearers, endowed with wings, two, or three, or four. [Unceasingly] He adds to His creation whatever He wills" According to Quran commentators, the number of wings denotes their power and speed by which they engage in working at Allah’s command throughout the universe. Light is defined as any radiation within electromagnetic spectrum from radio waves to gamma rays including visible light, all forms of radiations move approximately at the rate of 186,000 miles/second. Such is the speed of discovered frequencies. As explained in the creation of angels earlier, if we accept that angels are created from a concentrated form of nur (light) whose frequency remains undiscovered or yet incomprehensible then we can imagine their ability to traverse billions of years or light years distance. The Quran mentions their ability to travel such unimaginable distances in a very short period of time: "all the angels and Ruh [Archangel Gabriel)] ascend to Him [daily,] in a day the length whereof is [like] fifty thousand years.” The term 'fifty thousand' is not literal but implies extremely long distance. This theory may also explain the hadith when Prophet Muhammad ﷺ saw Archangel Gabriel, the leader of all angels, in his original form and claimed that: “he had six-hundred wings which filled the horizon.”

I guess i wasn't clear enough...I meant show the paint not clients job...well well show clients job when they permit it .
Example;
This bucket of 20litre satin covers 2m2 surface etc..
This wall was done with premium emulsion its better than silk for outdoor or indoor surface(this is just a comparison i dont know about paint ooo)...do you get
I read you correctly the first time but assumed you meant the actual painting picture of the products because you can't really distinguish different types or grades of paints from looking at the bucket.
You can't notice any difference even with the opened wet bucket.
It's is only after application you can determine the type of paint due to the flatness, sheen etc hence why I post actual painted pictures and give description of the type of paint used.

Budget emulsion is the cheapest and lowest quality obviously due to low materials used. It can only be used for internal manageably and ceiling where nothing touches. Spread rate: 40 sqm for 2 coats 20 liters.
Premium emulsion is higher quality that is durable for both internal and external use due to better quality and volume of materials used. It can be used on screeded and unscreeded walls. Spread rate: 50 sqm for 2 coats per 20 liters
Matte emulsion has low sheen, is flat and cleanable. It's best suited for screeded walls or smooth plastered wall with emulsion primer first applied to smoothen it. Spread rate is 50 sqm for 2 coats 20 liters drum.
Satin has high sheen, is flat and cleanable. Best suited for screeded walls and best to use stabilizing solution after sandpaper application of the screeding to prevent easy peeling. Spread rate is 60 sqm > per 20 liters drum.
Silk is basically satin with higher quality, i.e more solid content or lower water content to give more tougher coat.

I remember saying that, but honestly am afraid for Nigeria as is. I hope there is a remedy for this. Having investment in Nigeria and expecting returns is a no go area, the money comes back as peanuts.
It's almost the same in Nigeria. Few people would be able to afford renting properties if home owners charge according to the amount they spent building it.
I think diasporas are the ones subsidizing our economy with the money they remit back home.
