Boyooosa:
They may not need to even knock it off later because it will definitely affect the building as u rightly suggested earlier. And looking at the new stairs, the pillars/beam were stood on the pillar of the older one...so knocking it off will mean you are knocking the newer one off too
Very true.

Okay, because I am still looking out for that clarification.

You can run but the long hands of justice by men or if you elude men, by God must catch up with every wicked person.

The love of money not money is the root of all sorts of injurious things and those reaching for this lust of money as demonstrated by this wicked man and his cohorts stab themselves with many pains as they will now experience.

Just to add:

How’s possible the guy was arrested, beaten and tired but there’s another news he attempted escaping from the country and was found as faraway as the Badagary borders?

Or is the guy arrested at the border a different person?

Did the prime suspect arrested at Enugu escape lawful detention?

This matter never clear.
SportsRe: Drama As Nigerians In UK Struggle With New National Anthem At Unity Cup(Photos/V by Immatex(m): 9:32am On May 30, 2025
The introduction of the new National Anthem was rushed.

It’s unfortunate that our politicians are over zealous when they believe they are taking the right decisions. Overzealousness under any circumstance is counterproductive.

The introduction of this anthem should have followed a pattern - allowing time to teach students and citizens using the NOA and radio/television juggles for a 1 year period before full implementation and adaptation.

Watch the Nigerian Police management videos and you will see that even the police and armed forces cannot sing the anthem - a national prayer.

Staffers at the presidency can’t do better.

Quite shameful!

I think if you observe closely, you can tell that both stairs were made in/around around the same time but obviously one was made before the other. So for me, the one under was made before then may be a better engineer was employed, did some testing and saw that the one below isn't strong enough and then casted the new one on above with the hope to take down the one below after further testing.

We both said the same thing really.

Both were not built the same time and a former might likely give way if doing so won’t weaken the structure’s load distribution.

But like I maintained, a better, fully picture would have helped reached a better hypothesis.

This picture is incomplete so we can only guess at best.

Looking at the pics alone, I think both stairs are not too far apart to be labeled "old" and "new". That's my point lol grin

Both stairs are newly constructed
Na you post the picture?
PropertiesRe: Can Structural Engineers On This Forum Help Explain This(video) by Immatex(m): 6:42am On May 30, 2025
Reference:
Ha.
And you feel the structure is safer with twice the load of the staircase on the foundations in that area. Do you know how heavy concrete is and how heavy and essentric staircases are.
What I see is the load on the old stairs pillar and it’s still a simply supported structure.

I am not saying it’s the safest way to do things. I think the building code for Nigeria should be a better guide to determine if this is compliant or not.
I suppose it’s an improvisation and an attempt to maintain at the least the existing structural integrity of the building as knocking down the old stairs might weaken the structure and make it collapse risk.

Nice, but I smell AI?
I use Grok a lot lately but I didn’t need whilst responding to this.

I will agree it sounded AI-like, maybe because I have some engineering background and did some course in structure. I didn’t consult Grok for this.

Cars are more expensive in Nigeria?

This LC300 is currently between £74K-£77k in the UK

It’s either custom duty effect or too high a profit margin!
PropertiesRe: Can Structural Engineers On This Forum Help Explain This(video) by Immatex(m): 5:47pm On May 29, 2025
This picture can’t tell the complete story.

But this is does not look like a mistake.

I would assume this is an old structure undergoing a makeover and the contractor believes knocking down the existing stairs will weaken the the structural integrity of the building and so prefers this design that looks like attempt to retain structural stability.

It’s also possible that the under stairs will get knocked down later.

So this photograph can’t make for an informed opinion.

You made absolutely no sense, and I stopped reading at the beginning. Obviously, you've not travelled out this cesspit, so what would you know about another country.

Who works 100 hours of unpaid overtime as a programmer?
If a nurse decides to end her life what make you think its because she was exhausted and not mental illness?
They sit in Nigeria or Africa and write as they wish, blame Nigeria’s backwardness on others but themselves.
I worked in Nigeria for 8years before I ran for dear life. There was and still is nothing like ‘Work Life Balance’ in Nigeria and for less pay I worked minimum 12 hours everyday as a sales manager. No weekend rest, always on the road even at midnight.
The pay was less.
While here in UK, my maximum booked weekly hours is 37hours. Overtime or what we call ‘Rest Day Working’ must follow the rules of not more 13 consecutive days of working, not more than 70 hours a week and not more 12 hours per shift in compliance with ‘Hidden Rule’.
So I am not working today because it’s my Rest Day. From Friday next week to Tuesday I will stay at home as a long weekend.
If a person out of greed decides to do double jobs, why should the blame fall on the UK government?
Nigerians abroad come under more pressure from people back home than from the country they live in. Everybody wants to depend on you because you are abroad, and you want to be a good person or even show off to your kilts and kins.
Unlike Nigeria, where people work for peanut pay that can’t help them or their families and still do unpaid overtime, folks here doing overtime or double jobs get paid for it.
I don’t wish to even step foot into Africa, I am happier and safer here!

The story would be different if the guy was white!
Black is an endangered species.
You mean the police officer will let himself die if the driver of a car that almost ran him over was white?

Black people and defending rubbish.

You are not asking how the officer found himself on the bonnet of a moving car.
Why the driver didn’t stop until after shots were fired.

Crime has no colour. Black criminals shouldn’t be spared for fear of a societal backlash.
Foreign AffairsRe: Should Africa Sue Trump For Libel Over Genocide by Immatex(m): 8:22am On May 27, 2025
It’s actually very disturbing to see Nigerians of this age and time rooting for South Africa - a notoriously xenophobic country with special hatred for Nigerian immigrants in South Africa.

From their Politicians without exclusion of their President, South Africa is committing genocide against not only whites but also blacks.

Why Nigerians of all countries feel they are obligated to defend a xenophobic South Africa from a man bold enough to call a spade a spade still beats me.

What’s the benefit of being a Nigerian citizen again?

If you are not black, everyday Nigerians won’t recognise you as a citizen, you will always be a foreigner.

Nigerians are trooping to other countries begging for citizenship and claiming they have rights to be so recognised but their hellish country is so stingy to grant citizenship to even women married to Nigerians that only 1006 persons have received citizenship in 15 years!

News like this will make UK increase the number of years for ILR to 15 years.

It’s a selection already done and dusted.

If Nigeria politicians get sense, Tinubu should go unopposed as the country is effectively a one party dictatorship.

That’s the only way Tinubu next regime will lose credibility from the start but if any big wig contest against him, they give him credibility because he will win before selection day.
PoliticsRe: Disregard The Fake News About Simon Ekpa Being Extradited To Nigeria by Immatex(m): 11:29pm On Apr 22, 2025
gidgiddy:
It's very unfortunate that on Nairaland, unverified News can sometimes make its way to front page, but that's where we find ourselves. A News came out that self styled 'Prime Minister Of Biafra', Simon Ekpa, will be extradited to Nigeria in July, that a Finland court had given a nod to this

The first thing about the News was that it had no source, just something anyone can post online to gain traffic. Simon Ekpa has not even been charged to court for any offence, let alone faced extradition proceedings

Another thing is that Simon Ekpa is a Finnish citizen, and under the European Convention On Human Rights, no European country can deport its citizen to country to where they face persecution, a country like Nigeria that has very bad human rights record

But let's just assume this story is true, even though it's obviously fake. Even if a Finland court gave nod that Simon Ekpa can be extradited, Simon Ekpa still has the right to fight the extradition request through the higher Finland courts, all the way up to the European court of justice, and all he has to do there is prove Nigeria's terrible human rights record as an example of why he would never get fair trial in Nigeria.

But the sad thing about all this is that in the last three weeks, over 200 Nigerians have been slaughtered in Plateau, Benue and Borno alone, by armed bandits


Yet those killings received far less attention than the fake News of Simon Ekpa's extradition
So you mean being Finnish citizen gives him the right to instigate and supervise the killings of innocent people?

So why is he in jail in Finland?

Una go just Dey lie to Unaself to give unaself false hope.

He return to face life sentence in Nigeria like Kanu will also get.

Crime will always have bitter consequences.

Fantasisers!
