Chai so sad, RIP rev father. But since the cross is a symbol of death, why still have it in church when christ has left the cross long time ago? So if christ was hanged, or used the electric chair, so Catholics would have him hanging by the neck in all their churches, or have him on the electric chair like deathrow chains

Kai! Look at the posts on this thread!

Election season is a very bad season, you see people posting about things that they don't even understand.

Tanzania has made it easier for Nigerians to travel to Tanzania! We no longer need special permission from Tanzania Immigration Service to travel to Tanzania.

Because of this people on this thread are saying that Nigeria has collapsed!

Can you imagine that??

When Remi Tinubu harvested her vegetables last year from her Aso villa garden, I quickly joined the trend to plant yams in my little garden area behind my house here in Abuja city center.
So today, I decided to harvest the yam by my window and to my surprise I got a 19k monster yam harvest.
Guys, pounded yam and bush meat thick egusi soup will follow this evening 😋.

Bissibillahi guys... ....Seun you are invited pls

Put rubber footmats in their bathrooms.
Even if the floor tiles are matte.

I once read a comment here where a guy stated that his father died by slipping and falling in the bathroom, and another guy quoted him and said the same happened to his father, and ever since then, I've had it in mind to create this thread for awareness.
We should never allow such to happen.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please before you digest this post, take note that it has been written for people who are ambitious and want to grow. The post is NOT for people who are comfortable with whatever spot life places them.

First, what are survival jobs? Survival jobs are jobs you do temporarily to make ends meet for a particular time or period. They are meant to be a means to an end and not the end itself. This implies that you do not do it because it is fun or important on its own. You do it only to get what you want at the end. The end here could be to save up money for tuition, for a project, to acquire a skill ot training, or to weather the storm.

I have seen a lot of people spend countless years on a survival job. No promotion, no advancement, no increase, no future prospect, just nothing! Everyday turns to every year, and it becomes decades with nothing to show for it. The basic truth is that survival jobs CAN NEVER make you rich. I repeat, survival jobs CAN NEVER make you rich. They are jobs you do temporarily while working on some other things that can improve your life.

It is pertinent to note that survival jobs are not bad, because they could serve as starting points and also means to an end. Staying on them for long is the negative aspect here.

When you are on a survival job, do it with one leg and one eye. The other leg and other eye should be exploring other opportunities. You should know what that means. Use your tongue to count your teeth. Na only Nollywood movies poor gate man go see missing money, then the rich man go give am 50 million Naira as appreciation. Use your brain.

With all sincerity, do not stay on a survival job for more than two years. I have seen people work for 15 to 20 years, still living in same environment, and still can't afford basic things nor live a decent life. And one terrible thing about survival jobs is that you could get so familiar with them to the extent where you cannot venture into something else again.

May the efforts of every ambitious person out there be rewarded bountifully. Happy Weekend to you!

DaddyJapan:
Thank Qwen AI.

Good day to you! It is a pleasure to connect with someone who appreciates the beauty, sustainability, and thermal comfort of our indigenous Nigerian architectural heritage. As an architect who specializes in vernacular and traditional building systems, I highly commend your decision to use mud for your farm fence.
Not only is it eco-friendly and utilizes locally sourced materials, but it also blends perfectly with the rural landscape and provides excellent insulation.
To give you an accurate estimate, we first need to establish the dimensions.

The Math: One hectare of land is 10,000 square meters. If we assume your farm is roughly square-shaped (100m by 100m), the total perimeter to be fenced is 400 linear meters.

The Standard: For a farm, you need a fence high enough to keep out stray animals and mark your boundary clearly. We will design this to be 1.8 meters (approx. 6 feet) high.

For this project, I recommend the traditional Tubali (sun-dried mud bricks) method or Rammed Earth (Banque), finished with a laterite mud plaster.
Given the current economic realities and labor costs in Nigeria as of 2026, here is a professional estimate for constructing a durable mud fence around your one-hectare farm.

Estimated Cost Breakdown (in Nigerian Naira - ₦)
1. Earthworks and Foundation ("The Boots" - ₦800,000
In traditional architecture, we say a mud building needs "good boots and a good hat." You cannot build mud directly on bare topsoil, or the rainy season will destroy it. This covers digging a trench and filling it with laterite and packed stones to create a damp-proof foundation that stops ground moisture from rising into the mud wall.

2. Material Sourcing and Block Molding - ₦1,500,000
While the mud/clay itself is often free or very cheap if sourced on-site, the cost lies in the preparation. This covers the "puddling" process (mixing the clayey soil with water and dry grass/straw for tensile strength), molding the Tubali blocks, and the labor required to turn and dry the tens of thousands of blocks needed for 400 meters of wall.

3. Construction Labor (Masons and Helpers) - ₦1,800,000
Building 400 meters of a 1.8m high wall is labor-intensive. This covers the daily wages of skilled traditional mud masons and their assistants. In rural areas, you will also need to factor in the cost of feeding the workers during the construction period, which is standard practice in our local building culture.

4. Plastering and Finishing (Swish/Laterite Plaster) - ₦900,000
A raw mud-brick wall is porous. This cost covers sourcing good laterite soil, sieving it, mixing it with a natural binder (like extracted plant sap or a small percentage of cement for stabilization), and plastering the walls smoothly to protect the inner bricks from direct weather exposure.

5. Weatherproofing and Coping ("The Hat" - ₦1,200,000
This is the most critical step in the Nigerian climate! The top of the fence must be protected from heavy rainfall. This budget covers creating a wide, sloping coping (perhaps stabilized with a little cement) or attaching a traditional overhang to shed water away from the face of the wall.

6. Gatehouse and Miscellaneous - ₦600,000
This covers the construction of two strong mud pillars for your main entrance and the fabrication of a heavy, traditional wooden farm gate, along with hinges and a local padlock.

Total Estimated Project Cost: ₦6,800,000
(Realistically, depending on your location, the soil type on your land, and the ease of sourcing water, the price can range between ₦5,500,000 and ₦8,500,000).

An Architect's Advice for Success in Nigeria:

Timing is Everything: Do not start molding your mud blocks in the middle of the rainy season. Begin the project in November or December so the blocks can dry thoroughly in the Harmattan sun before the rains begin in April/May.

Soil Test: Not all mud is good for building. You need a soil with a good balance of clay (for binding) and sand/silt (for strength). If your farm land is purely sandy (like in some parts of the North), you may need to transport clayey soil from a few kilometers away, which will increase your transport costs.

Maintenance: Traditional mud architecture is not "build and forget." You must budget a small amount every year, just before the rainy season, to re-plaster any minor cracks or eroded spots on the fence.

If you have a specific state or local government area in mind for this farm, let me know! Labor and material transport costs vary between, say, building in rural Kaduna versus building in the forested regions of Ondo, and I can refine this estimate for you.

I wish you a very bountiful harvest on your new farm!

And most likely will be retired to a desk or ground training position.

Ejecting from a fighter jet does irreparable damage to one's spine making it near impossible to control breathing and blood flow during high G force acceleration.

The US military has it as policy that every pilot who has done at least two ejections be grounded for life. Some pilots show irreparable damage to their spines in just one ejection due to the high G force acceleration that comes from ejecting from an aircraft.

The Russians for this same reason do not use rocket ejection seats, rather the cockpit disengages from the entire fuselage

I inherited seven stems of Cocoa with a plot of land in the village that was only good for Agriculture from my dad about 5 years ago when he transion to the other side. I was struggling with a Para military job that the pay couldn't take me home.

I decided to look homeward. Applied for study leave, went back home to my father's land, cleared the only plot he had and extended the cocoa farm of seven stems to about 300 stems as at today.

I initially did 900 nursery for transplant but only about 300 survived.

Today my farm pays me more than what I spent 5years to study in school.

ILE-IFE IS THE OLDEST KINGDOM IN NIGERIA, NOT BINI

Ile-Ife Kingdom is the Oldest Kingdom in Nigeria and 2nd oldest Kingdom after Sahelian kingdom of Ghana in West Africa which was recorded from 11th century.
Some historical evidence prove that Ile-Ife was 4th Century while others said Ile-Ife has been in existence in the history of mankind, and the proof shouldn't be known to anyone or recorded.

Greek Historian, Herodotus, the father of History who lived from 4824 BC until 424 BC said about Ife: " According to history there were five ancient cities in Africa between 3000 and 1000 BC of which one was Ife".

According to BBC UK, The kingdom of Ife developed in the rainforest in the 600s. Its art and religion influenced the culture of Benin, which began in the 900s and reached the height of its power between the 1400s and the 1600s.

Between 700 and 1600, there were three great empires in the centre of West Africa: Ancient Ghana, Mali and Songhai.They all grew immensely rich by trading in gold. One of the last great kingdoms was Asante. It was founded around 1700. The Asante people were famous for their work in gold.

The Bini Kingdom that was later destroyed by the British was formed in 1170CE. Bini Kingdom was a neighbouring Kingdom to Ile-Ife Kingdom, and this is why in the history of bini today, the Ruler that established Obaship in bini was from Ile-Ife (Olumense 1719) etc.

The largest ethnic in West Africa sources from Ile-Ife ranging from Nigeria, Benin Republic, Ghana, Gambia etc. The root of some of these ancient tribes in West African countries were traced to Ile-Ife.

Father of history Herodotus, put in his record that the Europeans only attacked Bini kingdom due to disagreement, it is not that there are no other neighbouring kingdoms. If there were no neighbouring kingdom, then the prince of Ile-Ife wont be invited by bini people to rule over their land.

Ile-Ife remains where it is today in a place now called Western Nigeria, but we can see majority of tribes even outside Nigeria tracing their roots to ile-ife. History reveals that Ile-Ife has been existing before historian started putting it in record. Ile-Ife wasn't created by any ruler or king. It was a forest before it was established by the inhabitant and records were taken.

I am planning of travelling to the UK for my Msc programme. My main purpose of travelling is as a means of jakpa not that I really need the Msc. I sold the land i bought in Asaba in 2018 for N22m. I plan to use the money for the tuition fee deposit ( £5,000) and other travel expenses. The complete tuition fee is £15,330. I will study and work in other to pay the remaining balance.

My plan is to remain in the UK and work after my study. Please I need your advice.
