Good day everyone.

I need advice from people here who have real experience with borehole drilling.

I carried out a geophysical survey on my plot this month, March 2026 , to determine the best location for a borehole. The survey suggested two possible spots: Point 2 and Point 6, and the recommended drilling depth for both spots is 160 meters.

However, from my layman understanding of the report, it seems like water may be available at a shallower depth than 160m. I may be wrong, which is why I am posting here for expert interpretation.

Attached is the survey image so that those who understand these readings can help explain whether 160m is truly necessary or whether water can reasonably be gotten at a lower depth, especially at Point 2 or Point 6.

I was given the following drilling quotations:

₦17,000 per meter using 8 bar PVC casing
₦18,000 per meter using 8 bar PVC casing

I was told that the difference between the ₦17,000 and ₦18,000 rates is the casing thickness, although the exact diameter and wall thickness were still not stated clearly.

I was also given another quote of:

₦24,000 per meter using 10 bar PVC casing

But again, the diameter and wall thickness were not stated.

I also asked how much it would cost if they do only the drilling/punching, while I buy and supply the casing myself. I was told that drilling/punching only would cost ₦14,000 per meter for the 160m depth.

I want to ask the experts here:

1. Looking at the survey image, does it truly mean I need to drill to 160m at Point 2 or Point 6, or is it possible to get good water at a lower depth?

2. Am I misreading the report where it seems water can be found earlier?

3. Does a recommendation of 160m usually mean that is where the best aquifer is, where the cleanest water is, or that shallower water may not be reliable?

4. Between 8 bar and 10 bar PVC casing, which one is more suitable for a 160m borehole?

5. Since I was told the difference between the ₦17,000 and ₦18,000 per meter quotes is thickness, what exact thickness should I be asking for?

6. What exact PVC casing specification should I be asking for:
diameter, wall thickness, pressure rating, screen/slotted pipe spec, and brand/manufacturer?

7. Is it a red flag for a driller to mention only 8 bar or 10 bar, and say one is thicker, without stating the exact diameter and wall thickness?

8. If I decide to buy the casing myself, what exact specification should I request so I do not buy the wrong one?

9. Apart from casing, what other materials would I need to provide if I go with drilling only/punching only?

10. Is ₦14,000 per meter for punching only not unreasonable?

11. Is it better to let the driller supply everything, or is it safer to buy the casing/materials myself?

12. Between Point 2 and Point 6, which location looks more suitable based on the survey?

13. What other questions should I ask before agreeing to drill?

I do not want to make a costly mistake, so I would really appreciate advice from people who understand borehole drilling and casing specifications well.

Thank you.

please I need help

They have achieved their aim which is to confuse and convince you. You will have a better life in Nigeria if you keep your trust level to the barest minimum.

Get quotations from two or more drillers and things will start to make sense.

When did Obi become a promoter?

He is better fitted as an errand boy.

God permits trials for us all to foster spiritual growth, develop Christ-like character, and test faith, ultimately leading to maturity and perseverance

/
Rubbish!
So God intentionally hoisted bad leadership on Nigeria since 1960s to foster spiritual growth, develop Christ-like character and test faith. With a mindset like this, little wonder Nigerians are comfortable living like undomesticated animals in the midst of abundance.

I guess God loves Nigeria so much more than other developed nations. A State like Enugu cannot provide clean water for the residents. I guess it is God's wonderful work.

Does God exist? I believe so. But I won't worship the version of God being worshipped in Nigeria for any reason. If the Nigerian God is the Almighty God, I am not interested.

Probably he didn't realize that nothing seen online is a surprise. Most are scripted. Good for him.

I guess people don’t understand the meaning of exhibition fight. They think it is a Championship fight

Hyping rubbish

/

/
The question is: Why are many Nigerians more interested in Iran (or conditions in foreign nations) than the rubbish going on in their country.

Maim 100 Iranians, protests erupt in Nigeria. Maim 200 Nigerians, everywhere is calm.

Flexyup:
Na so una dey pshche Iran until America uses tactics wipe them and their hypersonic missiles, after you all will be shouting genocide.

/
Any country that let’s her leader be taken out like a cockroach is not strong. It is the highest level of disrespect. All these gragra by Iran is medicine after death. US/Israel have unmasked the weak Iranian defense system. Bunkers, motorcades, bulletproof everything and they blew away his blokos with surgical precision in his bedroom. The ones that gathered to impose another Supreme leader got roasted alive. Iran is a joke.

/

Kastonkastroll:
Foolish trump. There is a reason why previous USA presidents avoid Iran, North Korea, Russia and China with war. America might beat them but they will always deal a heavy blow to America which is what we are seeing today.

Besides America military is obsolete! If not, who invest billions of dollars on useless bases when you can just use good hypersonic missiles and destroy the useless bases.

Look at their carrier; in any modern warfare all those America carriers, bases patriot, thad, etc will be blown to pieces by hypersonic missiles.


I dont think Iran need any nuke. Their hypersonic missiles are a good deterrent from hostile countries like America and Israel! Lol just station your missiles on one place and be shooting them at enemies positions without risking the lives of your soldiers.

Iranians are bad guys sha

/
Interesting observation. Station them one place and be firing? Israel and their spies won’t see the location from space? It is all dandy until US deploys a B2 bomber and carpet-bombs Iran back to 17th Century.

/

/
Good for them!

Let them keep risking their lives unnecessarily with the nonsensical “catch and release”

Only in Nigeria are terrorists pampered, “rehabilitated” and released into the battlefield. What could go wrong is exactly what’s going wrong.

1000 ways to die

Being admitted to a Nigerian hospital is one.

Gigantic edifice alone does not make a good hospital.

Untimely death is not our portion. But before that, may nothing make us end up in a Nigerian hospital.

Smh.

Infantile and unnintelligent.

Nigeria is the greatest contributor to peace missions from Africa.

Many Nigerian families have lost relatives to many of such missions. You are mocking them and the sacrifices they made to nation and peace building. It is not funny.

/
Nigeria should contribute more. With many unemployed and brainless men of military age overpopulating the country, they should be prepackaged and moved over for peacekeeping assignments. Any able-bodied man or woman begging online or offline should be mandatorily recruited

Burob:
The economy of Nigeria is about to take off on a high, thanks to that ignorant minded Trump & gulf war 3.

Aliko Dangote na very wise man, his wealth is about to quadruple.

/
You have no idea about global politics. They'd rather sabotage Dangote than let him take the reign.

Independent nation that couldn't defend herself against external aggression is living in fantasy island. Iran can never be the same again. Winner takes all. Perhaps the ambassador should familiarize himself with Old Testament.

Ozigbo was the only major contestant against Soludo. They tricked him into APC and kungfu his behind with ukachukwu. He is a worse political player than obi. In PDP he was a force to reckon with in Anambra but he played himself into the deception of APC. He should lick his wounds in peace without blaming Obi for his political miscalculation.

He thinks Trump is Asari Dokubo his hero

They took out the self-appointed Supreme Leader.
They expressed willingness to take out the next Supreme Leader.
Who is the kamikaze nominee that wants to be the Supreme Leader now? Perhaps Gumi should be nominated.

Hemanwel:
My brother noticed this infection around the shaft of his p*enis. He initially started using Nixoderm on it, it didn't work. But few days ago, he started rubbing Miconazole, a fungal cream, it still not getting better. He said it's been over a month now.

Please, what kind of infection is this, and how can it be treated?

/

Two options:
1. Take him to see a doctor

OR

2. Rub pepper or abonikin on it.

This is good news!

Someone who promised adequate power supply failed to deliver and many adults gather around to cheer City Boys Movement as if their reality is fantasy. They should turn off the whole power generation and return the country to total darkness—that’s what Nigerians deserve.

Somebody should explain to me. It’s not the same in sane climes. I understand it’s not a suitable word but some people with only SSCE qualifications are so annoying that I blurt the word to destroy their self esteem.

But even the ones with advanced degrees are educated “phools” unless exposed to the western environment where applications reign supreme not just theories.

Because of colonization, Nigerians believe that literacy is the ability to read and write in English only.

Election is around the corner when politicians will start mopping up dollars and some people are convinced to dump their USD holdings now just based on wishful thinking. Oh well.

Let me guess...

He will ban checkpoints.
He will ban police escort for VIPs
He may reinstitute ban on tinted glasses.

At the end, it is all talk with no action.

Highly predictable!

Every country is using Iran to test her greatness.

If a rogue missile is fired into Nigeria, can it be intercepted? With what? The concept of money has destroyed the fabrics of Nigerian society.

FreeStuffsNG:
You need Trump who bombs primary schools and killed almost 200 innocent Iranian girls.

Not even the evil Boko Haram terrorists were that evil with our Chibok girls like Trump did with innocent primary schoolgirls he murdered in the most vicious manner by dropping tomnes of bomb on their primary school.

Smh.

You are not thinking well niyen.

/
You really feel for Iranians but don't seem to care about the carnage in your country. Black man!

/

/
Any country ruled by a Supreme Leader is dangerous.

/

omoredia:
Even allah can't stand the might of Trump. Man pass man. I thought these terrorists could fight man for man

/
Allah is the story they use to suppress and control the masses like Hizbah up North. I know that people will believe anything but how do you convince an adult that he will inherit 72 virgins in the spirit world? What will the women inherit?

Everything beneficial that the whiteman gives blacks must be paid for. Jobs, education, health…except Jesus. Sane people have right to be suspicious of the gift and see it as a Trojan horse.

Jesus is coming to save you. From what? Tinubu? Believers and nonbelievers dey collect in equal measures. Who still believes these fairy stories?

God1000:
America, Israel and US allies will surely pay for this


For those of you mocking Iran's supreme leader, remember how this same america murdered so many African revolutionaries for opposing them, some of you are happy because Iran is a Muslim country


As a christian, i will never support oppression, genocide and imperialism

/
The jihadists overthrew the monarchy in 1978-79 for embracing western ideologies and established the caliphate just like ISWAP/Boko Haram are trying to do in Nigeria today. Karma visited the Supreme leader through Trump.

They will defend him including new tax laws to raise money for 2027 election. Of course the money will be looted.

USA delivered the message loud and clear. Folks like Gumi and Asari are allowed to manifest their madness in public until they become person of concern.

Ayatollah went from President to a corpse in a few seconds. His case is closed forever. What negotiation? The dead doesn’t negotiate. Nigerian bandits and herdsmen!!! The people blaming America are doing worse with the little power they have. Imagine if that policeman at the checkpoint has 1/1000000 the power of Trump.

As long as Nigeria is concerned, no man will give a lady (married or not) that kind of contract without seeing her pants (multiple times). Just saying…She can’t claim ignorant on this unless she is not a corporate businesswoman as she claims.
