But any off cut due to slope should be waste. Remember , the central idea is to have a whole straight sheet without joints, to prevent leakage.
Those rolls of aluminum sheets come in standard width of about one meter.
When you buy them, it’s going to be 1 meter width x whatever length you would need.

/

I understand. But cut offs had some uses in my own case.

The front of my build was only 6 inches above the roof from inside before the cap. So I made my assumptions based
on how mine was designed.

As inter alia stated, it is his choice. If he can't do it right, it does not worth the hassle of constant maintenance.

sonnie10:
If one square meter of aluminum sheet is 2500 (going by the price of 0.45 gauge roofing sheet)
Therefore, 50k worth would only cover 20 square meters.
Being that there are 4 sides need
So each side is assumed to be 5 square meters

/
You are right. It depends on the size of his build. But then each one shouldn't take a whole square meter. Don't forget that up there are not perfect squares because they start and slope down.

A competent carpenter should be able to get him a good measurement/estimate. Actually if he has two angle irons put together, they can do the measurements and bending at the site to get it right.

I made my argument before that CBN cannot fight inflation in Nigeria with raising interest rate. It may work for countries with real economies but not in a voodoo economy like Nigeria. Using textbook theories to fix fiscal and monetary policies in Nigeria is idiotic at best. It is entertaining watching Nigerians debate nonsense based on just theories they learned in classrooms. Those multiple degrees can only impress the ignoramuses who by the way, are not in short supply.

US just like to stoke trouble.

Plz I want to see the wrong way of doing it and the right now oh. I believe it can be done in 2 ways! 1) hidden flat roof with blocks covering the roof left ;right center while the 2) the roof seats on the block which makes the roof visible to all. How can I get both pix ?

Those side block walls should be covered with aluminum pan. Usually those people that bend the aluminum pans should be able
to use the measurements to bend the flat pans to fit exactly into the space. The goal is to make sure that the block works and
cap above the flat roof are not be exposed to water. That is a permanent way to ensure no leakage nor water soaking the walls whatsoever.

NB: if done well and channelled well, the roof will last a lifetime with no leakage problems.

That's the beauty of social media. Back in the days, most print media houses were centralized in Lagos and SW region. So with the influence of folks like Tinubu, they could control the op-Ed and misinformation in the media with the people having no way to rebut all the lies peddled. The Editors act as the gatekeepers. But in this era, any bullshit is met with immediate rebuttal and challenge by the informed populace. Internet has opened up access to information which is why people's past tweets can be pulled up to challenge their lies. So the Omatseye dude is as inconsequential as it can get. He can be fact-checked by reputable people unlike the paid Nation Newspaper hirelings.

/

KIDfurniture:
Kindly bring the picture of the job forward so we can learn from his mistakes ! Thank you . I m about to give my project a Lean to roof .

/
rmx has a picture of the right way to do it.
You will need a flat sheet measured, cut and contoured to cover the side walls from top. The top part should extend to cover the top wall caps. This will ensure that you will never worry about water leakage ever. It shouldn't add much to the overall cost of roofing.

/

A country that cannot give the accurate amount of crude oil it produces. Yet you believe the numbers they pass around. I thought they said that inflation is only 18%. Any data you see in Nigeria is just for entertainment including the census figures.

Flat roof in any shape or form will always not be my thing either structurally or aesthetically.

The attached photos are Money121 work. Beautifully and professionally done. However, look at the areas I've highlighted yellow, where the roof meet the wall. This is one of my concerns with flat roof. I'm not convinced that over time that the highlighted areas will not have issues with damp walls and water ingress. Over time. That area of the roof has higher than normal (hip/gable roof) propensity to fail.

Flat roof na like high maintenance girlfriend.

That's because what he did there is not how to implement flat roofing. That's a horrible job.

Quick to blame Nigerian judges but you people worship the politicians like gods.

Consider how people worship Tinubu as if he dies tomorrow, they will cease to exist. That's the level of sycophancy that made Ike Ekweremadu feel like he is invincible.

All that convoy and MOPOLs he uses to intimidate the masses are cooling off far away in Nigeria. Now a judge of lesser means is toying with his freedom. Power pass power.

Whether 100% or 1000% increment in salaries, the most important consideration is whether they will get paid at the end of each month. This government and her partners are quick to promise but good at turning renegades in their promises. The FG and ASUU saga is on an infinite loop.

Are you shocked that after disturbing us here with 4+4 and Sai Baba in 2019, you have no undue advantage over us that called Buhari out for the tabula rasa that he is? Cutting the head to spite the nose? I wish Buhari can do 3rd term. Nigerians must obey!

Bread that's the common man's hope of survival the price has skyrocketed tremendously.

Jesus even emphasized the importance of bread by feeding 5 thousand multitude with bread and fishes, but today bread no be your mate.

I had to get this bread and sardine for my kids as lunch this afternoon,just 2kids between the ages of 7rs and 5yrs them still dey insist on my getting another bread for them.

That small loaf of bread is 450 naira only, apparently if I calculate the both sardines 1500 naira for 2 and bread 450 naira.

Close to 2k just for lunch, honestly it's killing and frustrating at same time.

May God airpus.

Instead of feeding your children, you are spoiling them with bread and sardines.

But the said Tinubu appraised Buhari's government to be doing exceptionally well and vowed to continue the good works that Buhari is doing if elected

By TonyeBarcanista

Since the commencement of the 2023 electioneering season, the term 'Obidient' is a slogan that has dominated the media airwaves, especially on social media. Subscribers to the Obidient slogans are Nigerians that are advocates of Chief Peter Gregory Obi, the Presidential candidate of Labour Party. Majority of his supporters are driven by rare display of patriotism coupled with the popular yearning for political change in Nigeria, a handful of his advocates have taken to the extreme of portraying him as an infallible mortal that is at par or a little lower than a sacred deity. To this set of people, it is abominable to criticise, question or express displeasure in Obi's credentials or candidacy.

Obi, a former governor of Anambra State who until May 23, 2022 was a chieftain of Peoples Democratic Party and Presidential hopeful on the Party's platform, is portrayed by his promoters as the long-awaited messiah to deliver the country from the calamity brought upon the country by the Muhammadu Buhari led administration. He is marketed as one with a "frugal" personality in terms of spending (perhaps a miser) who will not allow waste of public resources as President, and will ensure that Nigeria has enough in its reserves like Anambra had under Obi's administration as governor of the state like he (Obi) claimed - though this claim is disputed by his successor, Chief Willie Obiano - but that is a discussion fot another day. Aside his supposed frugality, Obi is portrayed as an incorruptible public officer that has never engaged in financial misconduct while in office. We'll see how true this claim is!

While I agree with the Obi promoters that Nigeria needs a new political leadership that will rescue the country from its current woes and entrench a working system for sustained improvement of the lives of Nigeria citizens, I disagree with them on the choice of Obi as the ideal pilot to lead Nigeria to greatness. Here is an individual that relies in his personal abilities for leadership. Obi has not made mention of any team that he assembled to work with whether while as governor of Anambra state. Even as the candidate of Labour Party, he has no known campaign team (structure) aside Chief Doyin Okupe. Whenever he speaks, he is always about self. The implication here is that as President he will the typical 'Mister Know-it-all' leader, which will be counterproductive to the expectations of Nigerians. But that is not my biggest concern about Obi.

While most citizens are demanding for devolution of power to the grassroot through restructuring of the Nigeria political system, Obi does not come across as a President that believe in power devolution. His record as Anambra State governor shows a man that does not believe in the third tier of government; which is supposed to be the closest to the grassroot. While the Constitution of Nigeria empowers State Governments through their State Independent Electoral Commission (SIEC) to conduct council elections for this tier of government, Obi who became Anambra State governor in March 2006, wilfully elected to run the local government through appointees under the nomenclature of Caretaker Committee in flangrance disobedience to the Constitution. Obi's refusal to conduct council elections drew the anger of stakeholders within and outside Anambra state, including the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) that he was not just a member but the Vice Chairman. The NGF in its report on Peer Review Mechanism that was released on March 18, 2013 (Obi 7th year in office) decried the action of Obi as undemocratic. Mr. Afeikhema Jerome, who was the National Coordinator of the State Peer Review Mechanism NGF, went further to appeal to Anambra Government under Obi “to urgently set the machinery in motion and conduct credible local government elections”.
(please find Premium Times report on the story here: https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/127070-ngf-scolds-anambra-ekiti-16-others-over-non-conduct-of-council-polls.html).

inspite the scolding by NGF, Obi still refused to conduct Council election. He waited until 2 months to the expiration of his tenure (ten months after release of NGF report) to eventually conduct it. Specifically, the election was conducted on 11 January, 2014. In other words, Anambra State had no functional governments at the local government level for 7 years and 10 months out of the 8 years of Obi's reign. Many believed that the council election was hurriedly conducted by Obi so as to get necessary structures on ground to mobilize for votes for Chief Willie Obiano, his anointed candidate for the 2014 gubernatorial election of the State.
(See PT publication on NGF report: https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/127070-ngf-scolds-anambra-ekiti-16-others-over-non-conduct-of-council-polls.html). If Obi as Governor stifled the local government system in his state, what magic will he bequeath Nigeria as a whole with respect to power devolution?

Nigeria is plagued with insecurity, terrorism, banditory and insurgency that citizens cannot live their lives freely due to fear of the men of the underworld. The country is in dire need of a leader that will change the tide; but is Obi competent enough to handle such burden? Let's see how he handled similar issue in Anambra State.

As Governor, Obi faced the Biafra agitators under the banner of Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, and led by Mr. Ralph Uwazuruike. Obi's solution to address the MASSOB agitation was a declaration of an undemocratic "Shoot-at-sight" order on MASSOB members. The order, which which drew condemnation by many, was issued in June 2006 (3 months into his government), and also extended to members of NARD and "other hoodlums" in the State. As a consequence of the order, security forces combed Onitsha, Nnewi, Oba, Ihiala and environs and were alleged to have shot, killed, and maimed anyone suspected to be member of MASSOB. On 20th January 2013, residents woke up to discover over 40 floating corpses in Ezu River located in Amansea, Awka, Anambra State. Following the discovery, MASSOB through its spokesman, Mr Uchenna Madu (now factional leader of MASSOB), released a statement on 10 February 2013, identified the corpses as that of its members that were arrested by DSS and handed over to Police on November 9, 2012 but disappeared afterwards. He identified some of the bodies as; Basil Ogbu, Michael Ogwa, Sunday Omogo, Philip Nwankpa, Eze Ndubisi, Ebuka Eze, Obinna Ofor, Joseph Udoh and Uchechukwu Ejiofor. Excerpt of the statement reads;

“MASSOB with deep sense of grief and sorrow wishes to inform Mr. Ban Ki Moon (UN Secretary General), President Goodluck Jonathan, US president, Barrack Obama, United Nations Human Rights Commission (UNHRC) and Amnesty International about the gruesome murder of MASSOB members by the Special Anti Robbery Squared SARS, of Nigeria Police Force, Awkuzu Anambra State. Some of our disguised members and family relations of the detained members were denied access to them. Efforts by our counsel to secure their bail from the police were futile. Our demands for their arraignment before a competent court of law were frustrated by SARS officers. We got information from an insider at SARS headquarters, Awkuzu that armless MASSOB members detained at SARS were secretly killed alongside other robbery suspects. Our lawyers, who confidently waited for their arraignment in January 2013 did not believe that such barbaric, primitive and wicked act could happen because, according to them, a comprehensive police reform on Human Rights was being carried out by the new Inspector General of Police.”
(Ref YNaija: https://ynaija.com/bodies-floating-in-river-are-our-members-secretly-killed-by-security-agents-massob-graphic-image/)

Mr. Uchenna Madu again in November 2013 indicted Governor Peter Obi as being responsible for the killing of MASSOB members through his "Shoot-on-sight" order and even vowed to arrest him afer his gubernatorial tenure. In his own words: “We hold Peter Obi responsible for the killings. This reminds us about the 2006 shoot-on-sight order by Governor Peter Obi who massacred about 2,000 MASSOB members. We shall arrest him and pay him back in his own coin in our own way immediately he steps down as the governor because his recent action of killing MASSOB members will heavily affect APGA chances of winning this election.” Madu spoke on November 14, 2013 while reacting to killing of MASSOB members by security forces the previous day.
(ref: https://www.cknnigeria.com/2013/11/we-ll-arrest-peter-obi-after-leaving.html?m=1)

On April 12, 2014, Mazi Chris Mocha, the Deputy Publicity Secretary of MASSOB released a statement on behalf of Uwazuruike fingering Obi alongside Chief Achike Udenwa (former Imo state governor 1999-2007) and Chief Olusegun Obasanjo of ordering killings of MASSOB members extrajudicially. An excerpt of the statement reads; “Mr. Peter Obi and former Imo State governor, Dr. Achike Udenwa, had ordered the killing of MASSOB members between 2003 and 2006 and would be tried in court in due course. Obi had on May 11, 2006 under the Presidency of Olusegun Obasanjo deployed over 200 federal troops most of who were of Hausa and Fulani tribes to Onitsha and issued a shoot-at-sight order to them. Thousands of our members were killed, including a pregnant woman and 65 others still missing,”

Clearly, Obi could not manage the insurgency in Anambra State as governor, how much more that of Nigeria that is more complex with religious and ethnic coloration?

Another concern on Obi is his alleged abuse of office in the management of public funds and dishonesty in the forms with respect to failure to declare some assets that he had interest in before the Code of Conduct Bureau. Dishonesty is one character that is not expected of a President that is determined to effect change positively.

Peter Obi is among the public figures that were indicted by Pandora Papers of financial misconduct. Specifically, he was said to have of used the name of his daughter, Gabriella to set up discreet Company named Gabriela Investments Limited in 2010 (during his 4th year in office as Anambra Governor) in British Virgin Island through a local registered agent, Aleman Cordero Galindo & Lee Trust (BVI) Limited (Alcogal). Acces International, a notorious firm located in Monaco facilitated the deal. Peter Obi was also fingered to own other offshore companies that he hid in secrecy. He equally had interest in NEXT International (UK) 14 months into his term as governor: which is contrary to the law. Worse is, he didn't declare these assets before the Code of Conduct Bureau; a statutory requirement for public officers. As reported by Premium Times, Obi equally admitted to operate offshore businesses and maintained foreign accounts while as Governor - in disobedience to the Constitutional provisions.

Penultimate to 2015 election, many refused to x-ray the suitability of Muhammadu Buhari because we were carried away by the "Change" slogan of APC, we cannot afford to repeat same blunder with the "Obidient' slogan in 2023. Sloganeering do not translate to good governance and better welfare for Nigeria citizens.

Jesus Christ will never come down to rule Nigeria. We will still choose a candidate among us. Among the three candidates, one being a drug lord with questionable identity and credentials, the other being a very corrupt resident of Dubai and Peter Obi; Nigerians are clamouring for a real change.

Considering the mess APC put Nigeria in, no sane human being should be campaigning under their banner. But delusion of grandeur has a better hold of some folks whose only prowess is weaponizing poverty and using it against the masses. I believe the people have learned a bitter lesson.

PDP is still busy with infighting. Wike is doing a yeoman job. Strange bedfellows if you ask me. A Southerner should be their flagbearer if equity is their watchword. But alas! Atiku believes in old politics in which money is only the determining factor--pay to play.

While we clamour for equity and justice, the greatest disservice to humanity is a Southerner deprived of his sustenance writing articles in support of those directly responsible for environmental degradation in his backyard. While Atiku and his Adamawa people can reap the produces from their farms, can TonyeBarcanista say the same about his brothers in SS? Mental slavery remains the worst form of slavery indeed.

Per permutations, a Bayelsa man can never be the President of Nigeria with less than a million registered voters in Bayelsa. But reality is different. That's why we had GEJ. All hands must be on deck to change the course of motion of Nigeria. Leadership is not a birthright neither is it a game played by turn.

That is the sad reality of a muslim-Christian ticket. Ifeanyi Okowa will stand up for Christians as much as Osibanjo did. You got my drift?

2019 presidential election in Lagos State with voting population of 6.5 million, with crises witnessed in some parts of Lagos then, 2023 the new electoral law and awareness among youths the result will shock many

Lagosians voted for APC 580,825 and PDP 448,015 difference 132,810.

This result from Lagos was with voters' apathy, disenfranchisement and no new electoral act.

The biggest miracle and it should go on Guinness World book of records is Tinubu winning Lagos State in 2023.

I like the overconfidence in APC. The same puerile bravado did then in in Anambra and Osun States. Their election committee was a list of who-is-who in APC yet they lost. It is not by gragra.

McOluomo and co that are prancing all over the place should know that before them, there were Lawrence Anini, Shina Rambo, Monday Osunbor, Derico, etc. The day his cup will be full, they will treat his fvck up.
