Africa (especially Nigeria) is overpopulated. Let those who "cherish" their lives more than others take the vaccine. Five years down the road we will know how far. Perhaps they will be the only ones to live to be 100 The sad part is big Pharma will tell you that a particular kind of vaccine works on different races. The ones sent to African will be "produced" specifically for Africans. . We need more of the educated folks in Africa to take the vaccines. They are useless anyways.

Life goes really fast on hope.

OBJ 8
Yar'Adua 4
GEJ. 8
Buhari. 8
Total : 28

Those who were 20 (when OBJ came in) and living on hope will realize that they will be 48 at the end of Buhari's tenure and nothing has changed. 22 more years of hope and they will be 70 and senile. That's how Nigeria wasted their lives on earth because they chose to play ostrich and live on hope. Right now Buhari is sitting on people's destiny for 8 years and making mess of it. As usual, the victims are relying on faith, prayers and hope.

Are you a teenager and nonchalant about it? Your lives are next in line to be wasted in Nigeria. It will pass quicker than you realize.

The FG finally admitted that they are Boko Haram instead of faceless bandits. Let them keep deceiving themselves with euphemism.

ASUU and FG are playing with the futures of the students. What do the students do? They stay aloof with indifference. The impact will be felt when they graduate at 25 and employers look for prospective employees under 23 with minimum two years experience. Nigeria has the most docile youths in the world usually driven by selfishness.
NANS is a skeleton of itself.

Let them keep rotting away at home while FG continue to play ludo with their lives. The reality will set in after NYSC.

If Adeboye really talks to God, will he be wearing mask? We are talking about God the creator of the universe. Adeboye is full of bullshit and he knows it.

Call yourself a man of god and spew any trash, some moronic Nigerians will believe or give you the benefit of doubt. Like one egghead said he drove on an empty tank from Edo to Lagos, the slowpokes cheered. But time to put such faith to use against physical attacks, he chose armed guards instead of angels.

Those who don’t want the vaccine don’t have to get it.

But I corrected you because you compared dissimilar diseases in your attempt to downplay the vaccine. And in fact lots of people are dying from covid in Africa and the world. Africans just don’t care about statistics. It’s the “enemies and evil spirits” that killed them.

If we are trusting our immune systems and say no vaccine to the people, hundreds of millions of people worldwide will die. If that’s an okay number to you, then carry on.

/
Who are the people dying? Mostly people with underlying hypertension, diabetes, obesity and hyperlipidemia especially above 50 years. Young people recover very well. The extent of patchy infiltrates seen in the lungs of infected elderly patients is enough to dictate that they ain't walking home anytime. Should we then go on mass vaccination for everybody because of inherent risk in a few sample of the population? Anyone without the above pre-existing condition(s) who chooses to take the vaccine is a certified slowpoke.

You didn’t get Ebola or any of those other viruses that’s why you lived

/
And you are dead now because you got Covid-19.

Don't downplay your natural immune system if you are not immuno-compromised. It is not a miracle that Africans are not dropping like flies as predicted by "Dr" Bill Gates.

Just like any disease, some people who took and those refuse to take the vaccine will still get Covid-19.
/

/
Those who took the vaccine are working tirelessly to goad more people into taking it. Misery loves company.

If you survived SARS, H1N1 and Ebola without vaccines, there is no reason to hurriedly take this Covid-19. Didn't we think ebola was the end of the world? It came and left. So will Covid-19. You don't have to lend yourself to be a guinea pig. Oyibo can find ways to sue for financial compensation if something goes wrong. Can you? Don't be a blind follower.

That's exactly what made hidden roof the most expensive type of roof. The additional cost of:

- insulation
- waterproofing
- cladding
- felting

You just have to do everything and anything to prevent water.

________

Everything in picture below was just to prevent water from having direct contact with the concrete structure. It cost us over 800k just to achieve that alone. Then, when it comes to felting. The cost of purchasing and installing original Italian roofing felt can roof some bungalows.

/
The problem is that we lack the right materials and products. I could go to Home Depot and get everything I need relatively cheap as plug and play and it will stand the test of time. We just don't like to pay close attention to details. Quality Assurance is almost non-existent. Eg. Most of the welding jobs I have seen among the artisans in Nigeria are very shoddy. And these are the fellas that are supposed to handle projects?

What I chose to do is pay the workers to do the manual part of a job. When they finish, I bring the right tools to finetune it. I have been able to maintain my sanity doing it this way.

Let's do this again, which do you prefer, and why?

The high roof, or the contemporary style?

Picture 1: Flat roof

It fits the design better.

A whole Oba returned and the crowd no reach 10 (of course they will use social distance as excuse ) when you exclude the praise-singers and abobaku. Compare this to his life before the protest. One common denominator among Nigerians in position of power is that they are shameless. Oba returned half-naked with a small walking stick. Imagine like rough play person release a banger there, Oba would benjo pass Usain Bolt You can tell that fear still dey his body.

Why would you even marry a woman you don't trust well enough in the first place?

It serves you guys right because when they say marry in the Lord, you'll laugh yourselves to scorn now you're all running Helter skelter like headless chickens looking for DNA that is not lost.

I want big boobs, I want big bumbum, I want beautiful face. At the last, no peace of mind as every man wants her too.

Marry the will of God and have some peace.

Nobody should come for me o. It's just daybreak and my brain is still initializing.....

How can you call yourself an Igbo "man" if you don't have a house in the village?

If you like build a skyscraper in HongKong, you are still an ofeke. Among your peers, you are a prodigal son.

twinskenny:
what part of the country is this!? Lagos 7500 for a bundle which contain 25pieces... in the east it usually 45pieces per bundle which cost between 10 to 15k

/
Anambra State.

I guess Nigerpipe is expensive based on Spyder880's corroboration. There is another brand named Tiger that goes for N15k per bundle.

/

EgunMogaji2:
I’ve never paid that but it’s been a few months that I bought last.

I think I overheard someone buying a pipe for N750

/
Gracías amigo!

topsy23:
The price is too high. The price of 20mm original DIGNITY pipe 7500 in the market presently.

/
Thanks.
Happy New year.

spyder880:
Niger pipes are very costly, a bundle costs N19,000 in December when I asked last. Other brands are selling for about N10,000 to N12,000. I bought 50 bundles last month because I fear a price hike soon. The one I bought is Vee Tec.

But, niger pipes are longer than most pipes, more flexible and doesn't depress under iron mat pressure. (Only when you are using it in a decking slab) if you are not using the pipes on a decking slab, go for cheaper options like dignity and others.

/
Thanks.
Happy New year.

I asked an electrician to do a minor job for me:
Quotation (Jan 2nd, 2021).

2 bundles of 20mm pipes (N21000 each): N42,000
1 pkt 20mm coupling. N1500
1 pkt 1 way box. N1500
1 tin of gum 1200

When did a bundle of 20mm plastic pipe reach N21,000? Brand: Niger pipe.

These are 2018 prices.

Update your prices to reflect current inflationary pressure on building materials.

We need cost of buildings in 2021

Good for him.

They think it is about packing money in their accounts. Something as little as oxygen concentrator would have saved him.

Even Aso Rock clinic has no oxygen?

Who still remembers Papillo Transport? They ran the same game on Kanu Nwankwor. As a football player, his name is out there that he has a lot of cash. Just like lottery winners, he will attract a lot of shady characters who want to steal from him.

Nigeria politics where the successor is usually worse than the predecessor. Just like in GEJ vs PMB, Imo people thought they'd hit rock bottom with Okorocha until Uzodinma showed up. Now Imo State is at standstill. Uzodinma appears confused and overwhelmed by the office he occupies.

The essence of school is to train you like a herd. They picked the school curricula tailored in such a way to meet some specific needs. If you need more information, you have to find and figure it out on your own. That's why those who think outside the box are labelled as weirdos because they don't conform to the lives of the 20 chapters written in a Psychology textbook. Is there life or knowledge beyond those 20 ( or whatever) chapters? You bet! That's why we have Ph.Ds in Microbiology who don't know how to do researches for Covid-19 vaccines because the oyibo textbooks on that are not out yet.

Good day fellow Nairalanders. Please don't mind my long note.

I got a job with a newly opened superstore in the month of November this year. I was formally with a private secondary school but I had to quit when this new job clicked. I forfeited my October salary because I didn't give the school a month notice and I didn't even know that I will get the superstore job. We did interviews during the endsars lockdown.

I had to take up the superstore job as an inventory manager because the salary is better than the school job. To cut the long story short, I resumed as the inventory manager and we were handed over our employment letter. We were two in my department (Inventory). At the end of the month (November) the staff were asked to submit account details to the accountant which we all did so we were expecting credit alert for the month of November.

The accountant didn't credit our account rather he was calling the staff one by one in his office and pay them with cash. I was not called and i was wondering what could be the cause. My colleagues asked me to go meet the accountant in his office. When I got to his office he told me that he didn't know how he wants to relate the latest development to me. So he started saying different stories and he was pacifying me. He handed my salary and another letter. I opened it and it was a "temporary lay off letter". The reason was that " budget consideration ". The superstore hasn't make much to cover staff salary. I was laid off with 3 other staff (one merchandiser, one bakery staff and one cashier).

Meanwhile it was the manager that interviewed
and she is the one I report to but it was the accountant that handed over the letter to me. The company retained My junior in the inventory department after I had put him through somethings he does not understand on the job.

I was dumbfounded and it look as if my world is coming to and end. I thought of my children and wife, my house rent. I started blaming myself for leaving my former job. I summoned courage and I left.

I got home and explained situation of things to my family. That week wasn't an happy week for us considering the fact we are approaching the month of December (festive season).

Meanwhile I have another side hustle I engaged in during weekends but its not fetching much money and the stress was too much; I collapsed and I was hospitalized for two weeks.
On the 28th of this month I received a call from the accountant that he mistakenly transfer the sum of N40,000 into my account that I should please forward the money back to the superstore account number. The manager also called me. But my phone mouthpiece has been very bad since Christmas day. I used to manage my wife's phone anytime I have important calls. That faithful morning I took my phone to the engineer and I went to collect it in the afternoon thinking the phone is ok but the mouthpiece is still not working fine. So since the accountant couldn't hear me, I sent him a text that my phone is faulty and that I will call him back as soon as I fix it again. The following day which is today I took the phone back to the engineer. And I went straight to the superstore to ascertain what really happened. So he told me he mistakenly sent the sum of N40,000 to my account and that the money was December salary for the second guy in the inventory department. and that I should pls forward the money back to the company's account and that the company is on his neck. And I explained to him that I don't usually receive funds in that particular account because i took a loan from access bank which is overdue and I'm yet to pay them. And even if I receive money in that account I will transfer it immediately to my kuda account and i showed him my kuda atm card but in his own case now when he transferred the money I wasn't with my phone it was with the engineer and I wasn't expecting transfer from anybody. And I told him that when he and the manager were calling me the engineer didn't fix the mouthpiece well and I was on my way to ijaiye. I told him I went to drop the phone back this morning and I will go and check my access bank app to see if transactions occur because I didn't receive any credit alert. Alas when I collected my phone back and I checked the app I saw the 40k credit and access bank had already debited me for the loan.

I don't know what to do now because he is begging me to please refund the money into the company's account and I have been trying to borrow from access bank again but the bank keeps telling me I am not qualify for a loan at this time. I don't have salary job at the moment and there is nowhere I can get money to repay the company. I wish to refund them so that I won't look like a bad or dubious person to them. He has been calling me on phone but I don't know how to break the news to him.

Pls what can I do in this kind of situation?

/
Not your problem. You had no prior arrangements with the company to credit the account neither did you withdraw the money. If the accountant knows where he sent the money, he should go and retrieve it. You cannot be bearing the stress for an incompetent accountant.
