Hi Zamirikpo
Please I would like to know how you solved this problem of vibration.
I have similar issue and I was told it would stop when I put tiles but I am not convinced.

zamirikpo:
hello guyz,

pls i need advice on an issue .

I am currently building a 5bedroom duplex , we decked the building around October last year with no issues. the building has 2rooms downstairs and 3rooms upstairs. but recently, i noticed that in the masters bedroom, which is a bit bigger than others, you can feel a slight vibration under your feet when you jump on the decking. like a pulse under your feet. this vibration isnt felt while walking normally, just when you jump. every other room doesnt vibrate like this one. the engineer said its normal because of the size of the room, but i have fears, a house i want to live in with my kids,whats the assurance after 5 or 10yrs.

will it stop after i floor and tile......
.should i find a way to reinenforce it.......

pls advice .@spyder and co.

You dnt have to give up on Lagos job search. Patient is the key. my advice is for you to be patient and accept any offer no matter how small it is and start from there. Regarding the accommodation issue, to rent a house in lag isn't cheap especially the area u prefer. so I suggest u continue to manage where u are but if u insist on renting an apartment, u may consider outskirts of Lagos island. at least house is cheaper on mainland.
I know a lot of people that lives in mainland but work in VI, lekki etc. so u can rent an apartment on mainland but be using someone's island address when applying for job. don't forget to drop your qualifications here in case if someone whishes to help u.
good luck and never give up

Many that are commenting didn't understand what the counselor said. the counselor isn't against phone password but when your spouse becomes the reason for it then something is wrong somewhere. I agree with her. if you really agree that two of you are one then nothing should be hidden.

Based on exprience. Most companies dnt look at your cover letter except if they ask for it. most just request for your CV

location

Maybe he didn't check well on the list. his name is likely to be there. let him open the list using Google chrome browser. press Ctrl F and type his name to find it on the list.

The email is bouncing back. even ur site is down

save ur self the stress. its a scam

Run...

I don't really advice you to resign immediately and become unemployed. It is not advisable to quit a job when you have not gotten a new one. Find a new job before you resign.

deadline please

Dnt compare your self with others. Life is really not a competition. Run your own race at your own pace. God's time is surely the best. Your miracle will come as far as you continue looking up to God without giving up . Dnt think your case is worse than any other graduate in Nigeria...wait until you hear another person's story. As far as you don't give up, some day your time to shine will come.

UNN researcher secures patent for development of solar cells from weed
A researcher in the Department of pharmaceutical and Medicinal Chemistry,
University of Nigeria Nsukka, Justus Nwaoga, has been granted the patent right
for the sole use and advantage of inventing the development of Mimosa
Pudica, locally known as “touch and die weed” into solar cells.
The patent seal, signed by the Registrar of Patents and Design, and dated 10th
October, 2013, read in part, “whereas a request for the grant of a patent has
been made by Justus Nwaoga, Pharmaceutical Chemistry of Department of
UNN, for the sole use and advantage of invention for: Exploring the solar
sensitivities of Mimosa Pudica-An African wild plant, and whereas the Federal
Government of Nigeria, being willing to encourage all invention which may be for
the public good is pleased to accede to the request”.
Nwaoga discovered how to use Mimosa pudica, to generate renewable energy.
“I observed that the plant’s leaves opened at sunrise and folded at sunset, I
started searching for the compound responsible for this and found ‘black
silicon’ which can be used to power solar panel. It is natural”, he said.
He explained that solar cells constructed with the weed extracts and exposed to
sunlight were found to accumulate solar energy which was transformed to
electrical energy. The stored electrical energy, according to him could be
subsequently developed for various domestic, military and industrial appliances
including solar rechargeable lantern.
The invention had earned Nwaoga a place among ten best innovators in Africa
at the 2nd edition of the “Innovation Prize for Africa” held in South Africa in
May, 2013. Nwaoga’s innovation was the only one pioneered by a Nigerian
which made the top ten out of a total of 903 applications from 45 countries in
Africa.
It will also be recalled that the pharmacist had, in 2004/2005, developed a
portable kit used to discover fake and substandard injection drugs. The kit uses
chemicals instead of UV/visible spectrophotometer, a more expensive instrument
for spot test, to isolate and quantify main ingredients of gentamicin injection
and other commonly administered injections.

PREMIUM TIMES makes the much talked about agreement public
On the first day of July this year, the Academic Staff Union of Universities,
ASUU, began an indefinite strike that has lasted till date and may run deep into
the future.
According to the union, the strike followed government’s inability to keep to an
October 2009 agreement reached by both parties.
The agreement was reached after two years of negotiation between the lecturers
and a government team appointed by the then Education Minister, Obiageli
Ezekwesili.
The Government team was led by the then Pro-chancellor, University of Ibadan,
Gamaliel Onosode while ASUU’s team was led by its then president, Abdullahi
Sule-Kano.
The agreement reached at the negotiations included conditions of service for
university lecturers, funding of universities, university autonomy and academic
freedom, and issues that required legislation to implement.
Details of that agreement were held as confidential by both ASUU and the
government, leaving the public to feed on crumbs of information thrown out at
negotiation meetings between the two parties.
PREMIUM TIMES has now obtained a copy of the agreement and is now making
it available for public viewing.

The agreement
The agreement included details such as the breakdown of lecturers’ salary
structure, staff loans, pension, overtime, and moderation of examinations.
Part of the agreement dwelt on funding of universities where both parties
agreed that each federal university should get at least N1.5 trillion between
2009 and 2011 while state universities, within the same period, should receive
N3.6 million per student.
The agreement also had parts that asked the re-negotiation committee to
ensure that at least 26 percent of Nigeria’s annual budget was allocated to
education, and half of that allocation to universities.
The agreement also asked that the 2004 Joint Admission and Matriculation
Board, JAMB, Act, and the National University Commission Act 2004, be
amended.
Text of the suggested amendment bills – including suggestion for amendment of
the Education (National Minimum Standards and Establishment of Institutions)
Act 2004 – were provided in the agreements.
The agreement was signed by Bolanle Babalakin, the then chairman of
Committee of Pro-Chancellors of Federal Universities; Gamaliel Onosode,
chairman of the re-negotiation committee; and Ukachukwu Awuzei, the then
president of ASUU.
The agreement demanded a heavy financial commitment from the government
and was an adaptation of an earlier agreement reached in 2001.
It is unclear how much of the agreement have been implemented by the
government. However, the secretary to the federation, Pius Anyim, after one of
the recent failed negotiations, said that most of the issues contained in the
2009 agreement, had been fully met except for the earned allowances estimated
at N92 billion.
“Some of the issues which bothered on amendment of pensionable retirement
age of academics in the professorial cadre, consolidated peculiar allowances
(CONPUAA)- exclusively for university teaching staff, National Health Insurance
Scheme (NHIS), setting up of budget monitoring committee in all public
universities have been fully implemented,” he disclosed.
ASUU Chairman, Nasir Fagge,could not be reached to confirm how much of the
agreement have been implemented.
