No President will ever resign in Nigeria because Nigerians are clowns. In the most serious of all situations, they turn it into jokes and memes. When the dust settles, they'd prefer to migrate to other countries that fought a hard battle, then wonder why they are being persecuted. If you cannot fight for your rights in your country, nobody will...not even UN.
Nigerians are more comfortable being pests and parasites.

Recycling old leaders has not yield any fruitful result in Nigeria.

Nigerians keep making the same mistakes and expect bountiful result.

Wetin concern me sef?

Explorers:
People have flocked to Twitter to reveal their outrage over the fact that a semi-automatic AR-15 rifle was once again used in a fatal school shooting, this time leaving 17 dead at a Florida high school.

Of course.

It is the civilian version of M-16 (military assault rifle) with very minimal recoil. These shooters are giving bad names to our beloved AR-15.

Darenyx can attest to me asking him later why he didn’t stop my insane design

Worse is that my Wife has refused to go back to Nigeria when I retire in 3 years (insha allah). So I’ll be patrolling my 5,500 square feet alone for a while

The dilemma of every diasporan.

Usually that means second wife loading....

Moving back home for our women is a NO NO for obvious reasons.

No matter how much you have in the account, Nigeria has ways of wearing people out especially when things you take for granted become big deals.

Check out how many times God was mentioned in the comments.

Black people have no confidence in their abilities.

God will come down and do all the worl for them.

Take up weapons and defend yourselves.

"Touch not my annointed and do my prophet no harm"

The statement that envelopes all the atrocities committed by scammers, ritualists, tithe-gobblers masquerading as pastors.
The innocent ones are the ones that haven't been caught yet.

Egun,

I watched the video and was quite revealing , I don't see reason why such technology cannot be deployed in the country to solve the housing gaps buy the local , state and federal government with different houses plans to accommodate all strata of people of the society

This benefits of this video after watching are numerous ,below are a few

1.Time savings in delivery time
2. No wastages (Agile management )
3.Huge cost savings at the long run based on economy of scale
4. Quality assurance
5.Elimination of middle men in the chain of supply

The list can go on and on, how I wish One can introduce this building style inhe country for personal estate development.

Many thanks for your contribution the property section

We don't have it in Nigeria bc we learn one thing and stick with it with little room to think outside the box until oyibo folks come with new innovations. Our libraries and educational curricula are still based off of 1980's materials.
You can tell what era a house was built in Nigeria by mere looks. One person builds a particular style, every builder/designer follows and runs with it until it is played out. I am not a big fan of herd mentality--a contrarian and a dissenter to the core.

If she is a single mother, she is grooming you to be her husband. In a year or two, you will move into the main house. Hang in there.

Social media tells a lot about a person when he/she believes that nobody is watching seriously. It blows the cover off all kinds of "packaging". People should move with time and expect such practice in this 21st Century.

Why would an employer hire a prospective employee who goes about picking fights with strangers on social media? Such act tells a lot than the employee would be willing to give away in an interview.

If in Nigeria, it is mostly to massage some ego.
A few of them end up teaching while the rest cannot wait for the next public outing to be so addressed. Of course the latter group ain't researching squat. It ends on their business cards only.

The pastor that sells annointing oil and stickers for protection but moves around with MOPOL and security details.

What in the world are you still doing in that church?

Lintels are made to cover space (doors, windows, openings) to be able to bear load on top. Anything else is just fantasy and waste of resources.
Some builders do all round concrete works at lintel level, then add two levels of blocks and do the decking. Seriously? That design does not add anything to the structural integrity of the building. Buildings built the old way still stands 60 years after. So what changed? Overkill indeed.

\

Someone is bragging that he will hand his money over to another man to spend on his behalf. How is this anyone's problem? He can hang himself for the pastor for all I care. Folks should stop giving unnecessary attention to the tithe-paying christians. It is their money. They can flush it down the toilet if that makes them happy in life.

As long as tithe-payers and non-tithe payers are equally blessed, why should we care?

Bros I purchased twice from Okigwe last December. And I know.

Evidently it boils down to greed. N4000/ton x 30 == N120k.
Add N50k for transportation. It becomes N170k which is close to price in the North and SW. But the suppliers want N270k. Difference of N100k (not including yoshi). The level of greed I witnessed in the SE is preposterous. To get things right, you just have to do it yourself.

Boko Haram sponsors have found out that they are stumbling blocks to their re-election. From now till 2019, BH will hibernate. Once the election is over, it will business as usual. Nigerians should be well informed enough not to fall for the facade.

ceelog:
That quote is too much. In Okigwe, a tonne is 4000N while tport and fees to Owerri is 55k. So looking at 180k max

/

Are you sure? Do you know any reliable supplier?

EFCC will lose.

The reason is that it has the most incompetent and corrupt lawyers which explains why there has not been any reasonable prosecution, conviction or closure in all the cases handled so far. They only result to gestapo arrests and media propaganda. Total joke!

A good crime fighting organization usually takes time to build the cases that by the time they effect arrest, the suspect will be pleading for deals from all the overwhelming evidence presented. But these morons in Nigeria arrest and start investigation. What school of Criminology taught them that? They are EFCC for Christ's sake and not peace officers.

spyder880:
I have really struggled with the chippings maffia in many states here in Nigeria. What have I not done, but the big trucks seemed to be winning, (once slept in my car on site waiting for them that comes to offload at midnight) I now changed tactics. I have noted that;

1. Following the load from the quarry does not stop them ripping you off. The deed is done inside the loading room, then on the road.
2. Trusting a dealer or supplier might be good, but many of them are still going to try and rip you off, except Chekitaut.
3. Shorting loads on the road is a norm, and they are not happy if they cannot.

Because of this I started using smaller trucks to supply my sites. Small Mercedes 911 trucks heaped up gives me a certain load which I can rely on. Slow as it might be to do 4-5 loads to equal 30tonnes but I know what to expect.

For a full 30tonnes, you need a longer trailer, it cannot enter into many of my sites as they are small streets. Price is N270k or more depending on location. If I do 5 loads of 911 trucks at N55,000-N60,000, it might give me a load which I might not even get with all my carefulness in 30tonnes.

Thanks for the input. I'd rather buy in tipper loads then. 911 should be about 10 tonnes? Even the tonnage of the delivery trucks comes into question. I'd always suspected some collusion between the folks at the quarry and the suppliers.

So anyone that kills a cow pays double the price.

But any herdsman whose cows destroy crops gets warned and moved to another community.

Where are the State Assembly members when you need them?

This guy makes mockery of having young people in governance.

So age is not a factor. It is the Nigerian curse. Perhaps they should ban prayers in Nigeria to see if there will be improvement in expectations. Evidently, prayers in Nigeria are inversely related to growth and providence. Why are Nigerians less prayerful as soon as they leave the country?

In diaspora:
Q: What time will you be in office?
A: 8am

In Nigeria:
Q: What time will you be in office?
A: By the special grace of God...8am.

Yet the country is a sh!thole.

Daboomb:
Naaah!
They are doing "Yoshi".

That would fill another 5Ton Bedford, for sale to another customer

Is there any "tested and confirmed" foolproof way to prevent this scam?

Bixton: Getting another supplier may not be the solution because there is no guarantee that it won't be another scammer-in-waiting. How long do you intend to do this until you get a trustworthy supplier?

Nigeria is indeed an "interesting" place for transactions.

Is there a reason (other than greed) for the huge disparity in price between N/SW and SE/SS. 30T granite in Lagos is N145k. Right? But in the SE/SS, the price they are quoting is N270k for 30T.

Given both tons and trucks for those actively engaged in construction works, the best way to know the right quantity is in the usage for concrete works.

How many bags of cement is one supposed to exhaust given any of the nominal mix ratios?
If you are to believe that your supplier has not short changed you.

/
If you believe and have evidence that you have been ripped off by the supplier, what will be the solution?

There comes one more headache in doing business with Nigerians? Who can be trusted?

bixton:
Any idea what's the tonnage of this granite.
