Can experts in the house give me an idea of the quantity of sharp sand that I need to mold 3000 pieces of 9" hollow blocks. I already have the budget for 100 bags of cement as I am estimating 35 blocks per bag of cement.

PDP 6621
APC 6081
AD 2756
From the results so far. All hope is not lost for PDP.

However, a close friend of Mrs. Danjuma said
General Danjuma only had a slight Malaria for
which he is receiving treatment in the UAE.

So UAE doctors are better qualified to manage malaria than our own doctors? Can you see how our "elites" are our worst ambassadors

[It was a known fact that; Mr Seun Egbegbe can afford to buy thousands of iphones if needed. So why would he go to steal iphones? He is a philantropist who helps multitude in our society today with his riches from God. We will authoritatively inform you that, the issue has been settled and resolved by the two parties amicably.

Really? A thousand iphone7 is in the neighborhood almost 1 million dollars. Are you saying that Seun is worth over a million dollars? Smh

So in view of this, what advice will you give someone currently studying civil Engineering in Nigeria?

Be imaginative, go the extra mile, make the library your second home and study beyond what is expected of you. I studied in a Nigerian university myself and today, I head a multinational team. I am not an engineer though, but work in the health sector.

bixton:
. Do you really want to compare building codes of both nations......haba......the work of a structural engineer is to agree with the architect on the best way to achieve the design following all safety precautions. If you're architect don't go out there to design something that even you don't know how to achieve it because you want to design and give the structural guy sleepness nights. In the construction industry the architect is the team leader followed by the civil/structural engineer and so on and so forth. So if you're worth your salt then your team is worth theirs too.

All these "building codes" excuses. Unless you agree that you are deficient, you can never improve. Most Nigerian engineers are poorly trained which is not a surprise seeing that most lecturers reprint the handouts they were taught with 25 years ago and regurgitate the same out-dated information to their students. Is there any wonder why they compete with roadside artisans for building contracts?

Believe me, the UAE building codes and safety standards are one of the most advanced in the world and the inspections here very stringent. So claims of different building codes are just lame excuses .

Dmolar:
Ok do u live in ibadan? Can u tell me d location of your project.

Don't live in Ibadan but I am for negotiating a land presently around Ojo area.

Good to know. I will keep you in mind for my Ibadan project

ShinnBet:
Bloody liars


The worlds leading rice producer is China with just an annual turnover of 144,000 tonnes


Why must these people always lie?

Learn how to read data. Did you not see the " 000" on top of the table? It implies that China's production is 144,000,000 tonnes.

I am thinking of getting a small 40x50 plot of land in Ibadan. What sort of smart plan can you suggest for someone on a low budget?

FreeWorld23:
you are very wrong using 15# per one block, with this calculation, you will end up paying more cos u can't control the cement that will be used.
In case of next time,
Renegotiate and tell them you are paying per bag of cement and your bidding shouldn't be more than 700#/ bag of cement and they "must" mould u 40 blocks per one bag or 35 blocks per one bag if u want stronger blocks. Dont let them mould above 40 blocks per bag.

Success in your project

This is an interesting observation. Thanks for sharing

ayobami52:
The plan of the building. please kindly check if there is any correction or adjustments

Where is the plan?

Good job. Just got a plot in Ibadan and I am hoping to start doing something as soon as possible. I am encouraged by your efforts and hope to learn from you.

Special Features of a Gazette include the following:

The first page of a Gazette must have the following unless it is a dubious or fake Gazette
a. The Logo of the Country and the inscription of the title “LAGOS STATE OF NIGERIA OFFICIAL GAZETTE”
b. Underneath it must have the Number, Volume, Page, Date and the Location it was signed into law e.g. No 26 in pages 200 to 291, Volume 87 dated 14th of August 2011 and have the contents of the list of the Villages, Settlements and parcels of land excised back to the community.
The Inner pages will show the following:
a. the description of the Area or Village excised
b. The number of Acres or Hectares of land excised to the Village
c. Where the boundaries of the beacons start and stop
d. The page the description of the Village excised.
.

Is the gazette mainly used for Lagos state transactions or does the same format apply to other states as well?

Just asking, what would be the professional fee architectural design of a 2 or 3 bedroom bungalow?

...

The active partner should be placed on salary commensurate with his/her efforts. Profit is then shared according to earlier agreed ratio. If the experience and knowledge of the active partner is monetised, what is the value? Depending of the value of this knowledge, it could account for extra 35% capital contribution or even just 10%

Nigerian Embassies observe Nigerian public holidays as well as holidays of host countries. Technically speaking, Nigerian Embassy premises in Riyadh is actually a Nigerian territory and therefore, Easter, Christmas and all other public holidays are observed .

This is a great and encouraging post. You just gave me the confidence to start thinking of my own house. And Your honesty has put you on the top list of engineers I might contact when the time comes.

blackpanda:
Sorry sir, but it apppears to me that u were talking rather than communicating. I cant pick one specific thing u have said for or against this administration. So transition was terrible, how And while nigeria's bicameral system of legislature is unhelpful, "part-time" legislature makes absolutely no sense, and has no meaning. That u are a legislator doesnt stop u from being a farmer.


So sir Utomi, u have said absolutely nothing. Thanks

That is the problem with Nigeria's education. You cram handouts to pass your exams hence your ability to comprehend is stunted. Utomi is an intellectual and I believe he was addressing like-minds. If you failed to understand what he was saying, perhaps then, you are not one of his audience.

So much for diversification. Buhari's idea of economic diversification is looking for other sources of crude. We that voted for change are full of regrets now.......
