^....can u imagine that the Abuja stadium that doesnt allure me much, & finished in 2003 with capacity of 60,491 cost $360m then compared to the Beijing's olympic bird's nest of 2008 of $423m.
the inference?.....if the Abj stadium was done in 2008, it wld probably be done for the same price as the bird's nest!

[quote author=fellis] @hakuna matata, nice picture, the architechture of developed countries can be very amazing.

....my brother, & breath-taking too.
theirs is a world were bldings are designed puerly for visual satisfaction & symbolic expression.
but here, every brief i get from everybody is always bedeviled with the 'cost cosideration' tag. ...just to boost their own corrupt share.
& that is the reason y our landscape lack world class icons...

PROBLEM STATEMENT: ur brother acknowledges he has a problem too? Good! then d only problem left is that he's too week to effect a change.
INFERENCE: He hasnt gotten to his breaking point yet!.....& u cant push him to it or u risk becoming d enemy. she has to do that herself.
CONCLUSION: stay gentle on ur brother & close to him so he can keep confiding in u. u need to...cos when he gets to his breaking point, he culd be in a muderous mood & u shld b the 1st person he wld call. for his own sake( u dont want ur bro wanted for murder). ive been there b4 trust me. ur best bet is to keep ur fingers crossed & watch d movie unfold.....it would.....with time.

Siena:

Not MY choice, but as long as he's happy with the brands, my choices beyond the two brands mentioned aren't really relevant. Hence I chose the Toyota Camry.

@ siena, thanx sir. really appreciate ur contributn. u just helped me make up my mind. wld take the advice.

on the other hand, what wld be ur suggestn for a low budget car less than N750K?

thanx bigx. i wld see to that. i dont want him to think i doubt his integrity after he's told me its only d gasket. wld hav luvd to make up my mind on getting interested or not b4 we start bargaining. thats the purpose for this thread. thanx so much.

^thanx guy. but u still leave me confused 'tho.


siena, ikenna & co pls help b4 i throway money o!

I've been saving up for a camry envelope(2000) model but my client suddenly made me an offer for his peaugot 406 he bought as a Toks & used barely for little over a year looking still clean. he says the probs with the car is only its Gasket that needs to be changed.
I used to think that peaugot brands are rugged cars but pls i wld like to know:
1. are peaugot cars truly rugged?
2. do they offer low maintenance in use?
3. are their parts easy to get & cheap?
4. etc. etc.
pls can the car gurus do a good comparative analysis of the peaugot vis-a-vis a toyota camry?
i'm eyeing the peaugot cos i think its an upgrade to my prefered camry @ the same cost.
& i chose a camry as the base of comparison because i hav an idea of its qualities from a close friend user. i currently use a nissan primera '97 model.

its new only in Lag. i was amazed when i was in portharcourt @ the number of female cab drivers! lagos yoruba women are just embracing the trend.

if u knw u cant endure it, pls withdraw frm d marriage & go far from him to save his face in the hood. but 1st, forgive him!

hehehehehe! i can foresee the rennaissance of Jamb 2000 mass failure. then, SALIM was made the new registrar & he started question paper TYPES A,B,C........etc.
the result? mass failure as all who depended on 'Orijo' to pass met their waterloo.
i was among the very few who depended only on their brains & passed.
MORAL OF THE STORY- read well & forget EXPO 'Cos theres gonna be shokers!!!

I did a job with a friend 4 Eko hotels & was offered a free buffet @ their staff canteen during break. i simply washed my hands to eat the meat while my friend sitting elbow to elbow kept struggling with d cutlery ignoring my advice to tow my humble path. while still forcefully trying to cut d strong meat, pepper jumped from his plate straight to my chest! ....& i was wearing white!!
I felt like giving him a black eye.
i was made to look like an 'o-n-i-j-e-k-u-j-e' with the pepper stamp for the remainder of the day while he kept laffing.....@ eko hotel! imagine the shame!!!

I loved her too much without holding back & looked serially stupid to her.
now, i shower this one with plenty love for days then take a day off to ignore her & Viola! it works!!!... it pays to be unpredictable.

Well, I`m married to a gambian. Our kid has been eating african food since she was about one year old, just with a little less pepper than normal.

What was your point here?
