I must confess, that's a lame excuse and poor reasoning from you. So because these guys got stuck in one building automatically means we aren't developed yet to be using elevator. Damn... The way some people dey reason sef for dz country get as E be..

Lakside1955:
Honestly, there are people like this that won't care about the expenses or repercaution, they only make sure that they satisfied their mind first

kopell:
Hunnn, I understand your concern. With many of these guys, it’s had to get things right 100% as you wished, if you get 85% right with many of them, you’re very lucky. Otherwise it’s will cost you more, if you push to had on them. Talking from Experience, that Conpany is still very fear from other big names. Thanks to Hajji my deal with them last year, save me over 340k compare with other big names in the market. Best of luck.

There is a flight from Lome to Newark. (For small west African countries or cities as Monrovia, Freetown, Dakar, Banjul, Gambia etc connected to Lome by ASKY airlines). BTW, some Lagos bound passengers prefer this route because they land in Lome and flown to Lagos via ASKY airline partners.

There is a flight from Addis Ababa - Washigton DC (For Enugu and other Nigerian passengers on ET)

Daboomb:
There you go! See attached.
and there are others within 100m of the same place, along that line.


But please understand that your Roofer (even the one you take along) can connive with them to short-change you.
What 'can' happen is that the Roofer will tell you that you need to buy certain quantity of Sheets, based on the measuremnts.
It is based on this that a "cutting sheet" will be issued to you, upon which you will pay directly to the Aluminium company's bank account.

Now, what is this "cutting sheet" sef?
The cutting of the aluminium roofing sheets into various sizes like cladding, flashing, e.t.c is done automatically by means of a programmed instruction written in a paper called the "cutting sheet".

A customer is given this cutting-sheet, asked to go and make paymnet based on what is written there (your request) and this is given to the programmer who inserts it into the machine and the machine simply produce what you paid for,

It is what you pay for and give to the programmer, that is fed into the machine and produced
Nice and straight-forward, right?

Well, this is where the Nigerian factor comes-in.
Now, your Roofer, because he has not been allowed to go and buy the materials on his own, goes behind to meet the Company Supervisor and they cut a deal.

Your Roofer, in connivance with the compony Supervisor, writes another "cutting-sheet" with the exact amount of materials your house will need and produce that for you.
What you did not know is that your Roofer had inflated your Roofing-sheet requirements by as much as 30%- 40%.
You pay for 100% + 40% extra.
They issue you a cutting-sheet of 140% of requirements.
You pay for it and give the !40% cutting-sheet to the programmer.
The 100% cutting-sheet that was prepared behind you (a connivance between your Roofer and the Supervisor of the Aluminium Company) is now substituted for the one you paid for.

At the end of the day, they tell you "Computer cannot lie", what you paid for is what was programmed into the computer.
But if you are like me that scrutinise things properly, y[b]ou would have used your phone to snap the original (140%) cutting-sheet you paid for...and then cross-check every item that was produced, with what is on your phone![/b]

That is how alarm-blow and l created real wahala that closed down the company for that day, until every penny was refunded to me.
My Roofer bolted on seeing that alarm-don-blow!
I fished him out the following day and locked him up for five days while my Roof was finished.

Why am l telling you all these?
We should learn from other people's experience.
Going there to buy it yourself does not mean you cant be cheated or they wont attempt to swindle you.

Happy tripping.

And what makes you think so?

Not everyone invested their life savings in crypto.

Crypto is unchartered territory. I don't act like I know it all, and you shouldn't.

MMM is/was not decentralized.

Do you even have an idea of what you're talking about?

Stop riding the bandwagon. The stock market crashes every two decades, with a depression once every half a century. No one is calling the stock market a fad. If you want to compare cryptocurrency to anything, compare it to the dot com bubble of '99. There was a crash in 99'. Fast forward 20 years later, and AMZ, Microsoft, Apple, Intel, Cisco, et al that took a beating then have eclipsed their pre-99' high.

Apple is on track to become the first trillion dollar company.

Bitcoin has gone from $1000 to $90 before. It could go below $1000 and rise again. Or it could just fizzle out.

But Blockchain would remain. It's not a fad. No one can say 100% what would happen with cryptocurrencies, because we haven't ever had cryptocurrencies. There'd be micro- and macro-corrections from time to time. These are expected.

Ride the wave. You can profit from the free fall, same way you can profit from a rise.

But if you're saying blockchain and cryptocurrency are ponzi schemes, then you have no clue of what you're talking about. Because whatever reasons you're gonna come up with are the same reasons why anyone could call stocks and FX trading ponzi schemes.

Before you try to rain on a parade, try to understand what it is about. Else you'd sound like a dumb f*ck. I know for a fact that you don't know the technical details of Blockchain. Yet, here you are ranting on like you're Satoshi.

There is no use arguing with you. If you truly think Bitcoin is going to crash, why not go on an exchange now and short BTC? Unlike MMM, there is a way to make some money if you truly think Bitcoin would crash. In 2013, Bitcoin crashed from $1000 to $90. What happened after? The fact that coming next month, a lot of Chicago CTAs (Commodity trading advisors) are going to start trading BTC should tell you that BTC would bounce back. Bitcoin would still hit $40000 here.

P.S. There really is nothing the Central banks can do about bitcoin. It is decentralized for a reason.

einsteine:
Crypto =/=Bitcoin.

It is Bitcoin that went down from 19k to 7.5k. There are a number of cryptos that have 5x even in that same period. As for Bitcoin, with a lot of institutional investors coming into the space, it will GO UP. If you look at the price charts since 2012 for Bitcoin, january- march is usually bearish for bitcoin.

thy don't go to work.

What thy do is exactly what d OP wants to do now

sabanageorge:
Please no bad words.

I have a sizable number of investments. Every month I make about 400k from my investments. I also invested in crypto. The market has been crazy these past weeks, but even with the recession I have about $100k. But I have not cashed out. I don't want to. I want to keep it till year's end, when it may be bigger or maybe zero. who knows.
Then I have my job, which isn't bad, which has earned me all of this. But I'm getting tired of it already and I want to quit. Hoping to live on the 400k I make every month from my investments and a possible larger payout from crypto by the end of the year. What do you think?

Just a few words of advice.

saydfact:
On point OP.. To reduce figures, you can use meters where 8,400mm = 8.4m and 225mm =. 225m

EgunMogaji:
My architect had to supply my plans in both meet and feet. I just can’t do meters.

Btw, where are the / \? I don’t like changes

Evasmil4:
yes. inches ok but mm/mtr is SI Unit.
world standard method of measurement.
still use ur inches but get familiar as there are places you can't work if you don't know measurements in meters.
mm, cm, mtr, km. OR
inches, feets, miles.
it's easier to grade in mtrs that to grade with the old way if you can learn it, you will love it.

My Chief, how far on this Sir? https://www.nairaland.com/654013/building-houses-sale-vs-renting

Ayodejioak:

In as much stories like these are true, fact remains that NO comfortable person will choose to stand by the roadside and beg.
I think you should ask youself if you can ever do the same the next time you pass-by.
That's the reason I assist them whenever I get a chance to.
