dancing egwu ogene right now with ipob members at onitsha because it's already clear that this country is already falling apart, November 18 governorship election would be interesting in anambra but the 2019 February elections would be the most interesting of all elections and probably the Last in this country.God bless Biafra.

Proverbs 26:27 Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.

Buhari kept Kanu in prison and vowed not to release him.

But Let's Reason
Between Nnamdi Kanu and Nigerian President...Muhammedu Buhari, who is actually in prison? At least we see Kanu in court regularly.

Where is Buhari?

all these comparison/taunting threads are not necessary, let's focus on our struggle, God bless Biafra.

i think this thread deserves the front-page.

LARRIE:
Lovely designs. What about the building that can fit into 60x40 feet

which part of the land is facing the road and what would you like to build on it?

kingzizzy:
Threads like this should be removed for misleading people. How can Kanu's parents stating they dont like the terms of the bail suddenly translate to Kanu himself rejecting the bail? Kanu has not yet come out to categorically reject or accept tge bail conditions. All he said is that he will not leave his boys behind which can be interpreted a number of ways.

People are trying to cause confusion where there is none

bros they only reported the news as it is,it's still a developing story, God bless Biafra.

dragonking3:
It is very constitutional..You dont wake up and write defamatory statements about someone without providing proof. Same thing otobo did with daniella. Make she just pray that daniella drops the intention of making a case out of it or else she go join madam kemi for ph prison.

it's a civil case not a criminal case. that's all i would say.

how constitutional is it to arrest someone over defamation of character charge? i thought it's a civil case to be settled for the two parties by a court and not a crime against the state?

Erect:
Hi @greenermodels. Please is it possible to take a new building plan to state authorities for a fresh approval due to design issues even after getting a previous approval for a different building plan? What is the cost implication?

yes,but i wouldn't advise it if it's outside Abuja and it's just a modification. those urban planning people are just out to extort and wouldn't even care or notice the changes. that is what people do in real life.

joyandfaith:
@10, hire prtofessionals? i hired an architect who wasted my scarce resources. unnecessary spaces.

sorry about that. I'm ashamed to accept that most architects are more concerned about external beauty and pictures than functional and cost effective homes. they do it because most clients are more concerned about big fancy homes than thinking about the cost to build it.

texazzpete:
Careful with this recommendation. One of the biggest sins in building design I see in Naija is the tendency to make houses with small or few windows for ventilation.
Living in a tropical environment, the more paths for cross-ventilation, the better.


Houses looking like prisons in Nigeria (or concrete pillboxes) because people want to save money.

a tropical country like Nigeria needs medium sized windows to avoid excessive sun penetration while allowing adequate ventilation, secondly,i was warning against those that build with lots of fancy glass spanning entire walls from top to bottom. usually most of those glasses are not even openable.take a look at fancy fast food joints for example.

Sebastine1994:
My oga, I know you are trying to sell your self with this post. God bless your hustle. But you should not spoil another man's own when building your own. How?
You said brick layers are not professionals. Then what are they? These stereotype you people have of brick layers as Illiterate should change. My brother studied in city and guild as a professional mason. He can do anything a civil engineer can do.

i didn't call them illiterates and non professionals.i only said people shouldn't ask them to design homes for them. they would only sketch it and when its time for laying the foundation, youwould realise that the house is not buildable due to non alignment of the walls.

EgunMogaji:
It was all good until #10 and that's where I got off the bus

It's a total hogwash.

I'm 100% aware that you bought your building plan online from an architect and hired a nairaland architect to modify it for you. any knowledgeable and experienced person can be a general contractor but you need specific professionals for specific roles.

please comment on my thread here,i would really appreciate it.www.nairaland.com/3682713/ten-ways-reduce-cost-while

In this trying economic times, those with the need and desire to own their own homes might have to revert to low cost home building techniques, a low cost home does not necessary mean a low quality home, rather it means a home that is structurally and functionally sound but may lack the fancy bells and whistles needed to compete in the” I pass my neighbors” category. The following ten ideas if dutifully followed would enable the average Nigerian teacher parents own a decent two or three bedroom home.

(1) Reduce the area of the home: there’s always the tendency to overbuild especially when building a home for the first time with the emotional attachment involved, but to keep costs down, there’s need for a clear headed analyses in order for the family to get the home they need and can afford rather than burdening themselves with the home they desire and can’t afford, thus they need to ask themselves basic questions like do we really need a third/guest bedroom, the dining room(experience world over shows that people hardly uses their dining room),ante room, visitors toilet, prayer room, exercise room, home office, en suite toilets etc? It’s ironic that the average size of Nigerian homes have been increasing due to these newly fangled additions while the average size of Nigerian families is falling due to lower birth rates. The simple truth is that a family of four with children of same sex can easily live comfortable in a two bedroom flat consisting of two bathrooms and a kitchen and measuring roughly 30’x30’.

(2) Well designed multi use spaces: a well designed bedroom with a good furniture plan can be a bedroom, study room and home office all rolled together into one, a dining room/area can also serve as a study room, home office and game room if well planned. What makes a home functional is the thought exercised in its design rather than its square footage or cost of construction.


(3)Avoid swampy soils: nothing pushes up the cost of construction more than building on swampy/waterlogged soils that need expensive foundations like raft and bored piles foundations.try as much as possible to buy land with dry and strong soils .

(4)Avoid site preparation costs: avoid lands that would need filling, grading and rock blasting. Such site preparation costs would push up the total costs of your new home.

(5)Simple roof design: aim for simple roofing styles with low pitch and less corners. The cheapest home to roof is a rectangular shaped structure without gables. High roofs look more impressive but cost a fortune. Aim for something simple.

(6) Less windows and glass: Glass looks good but it’s costly. Carefully place your windows to eliminate waste.aim for standard sized windows and eliminate any fancy glass.

(7)Fewer bathrooms: one of the latest fads of modern building designs is the advent of en suite bathrooms which means that each bedroom comes with its own bathroom. The most costly rooms to build in your home is the bathroom so reducing their numbers to the absolutely necessary minimum is a vital step to reducing the total cost of constructing a new home.

( Incorporate fewer corners into the design: the easiest house to build is a rectangular home with a rectangular roof. Incorporating corners, curved walls and slanting walls while been visually more pleasing would dramatically push up cost. Avoid these like the plagues if you’re intent on lowering costs.

(9) Go for a minimalist finishing and ornamentation: fancy roofing sheets, concrete fascia (so called parapet), window hoods, arches, tiled walls, decorated pillars, moldings, elaborate pop designs etc are all nice but not necessary features that would quickly push up the cost of constructing a new home.

(10) Hire professionals: it’s often a false economics to design and build your own home because there are always places where you commit costly mistakes that would cost even more to remedy. Likewise, the bricklayer is not an architect neither is he an engineer. Use the right professionals for the job to avoid costly mistakes.

Thought that is not a feeding bottle, it's a drink called Ensure. It's a high calorie drink prescribed for people at risk of or suffering from malnutrition. It's also prescribed for people who are unable to eat properly as a supplement.

hei,so he's now that serious? and lai Mohammed was telling us that bubu is not sick.

A group of prominent Igbo professionals led by a former Central Bank of Nigeria governor, Charles Soludo today met up with Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), in prison and would later converge for a press conference at Chelsea hotel in Abuja by 3pm today, to relay the feedback of their visit.

Also part of the group is Pat Utomi, a Nigerian professor of political economy and management expert.

Kanu was arrested in October 2015 and subsequently detained by the Buhari led Federal government for treason. He was arraigned before Justice Adeniyi Ademola at a Federal High Court in Abuja. The judge granted him bail which the federal government refused to implement. The IPOB leader has since been held in a prison in Abuja despite several court ruling in favor of his release from detention.

Many prominent Nigerians and clergies have also spoken up for his release.

Luukasz:
You expel four thousand in a small school like UNIOSUN, then how many students left. No student will fall for such an empty threat.

mad men are always in power in Nigeria.

does anybody else notice that this is a sponsored publication from an unknown website against the students that protested against the high handedness of the school management. those guys in power should know that the economy is really bad now.

Rilwayne001:
Buhari government is evil. Quote me anywhere

Load have mercy on the future of this nation.

Nigeria have no positive future, there's no reason to believe so.I'm a former staff of the Niger state polytechnic and i can boldly tell you that the student that wrote this would likely get a federal job within one year of graduation because he belongs to the right tribe and religion.

lalasticlala,mynd44,seun

this man have started following the same line that made ngige to lose the Last governorship election. he is speaking against the popular opinion of the voters and expect to win their votes. he's definitely confused.
