She should put the old account here so that what will happen? What exactly do you want to gain with that? Do you know how disheartening it is to be vulnerable? How humbling, how lowly it feels to resort to begging? I pray you will never know that feeling. We're not all interested in knowing her old account.
I respectfully disagree madam. Someone here was asking for assistance with a new account. Linking it to another account using common details here revealed evil intentions beyond comprehension directed at people of my calling. I will just leave it at that.

We’re not asking to be saints here but if I was able to help, I would rather it was directed to a young person able to rise above the hate and mischaracterization actively promoted on this site. Just my own view.

Then, there are the serial scammer beggars...

I see, a few pages back, Gbadexy offered you a collabo. I would jump on it if I were you, if only to learn how to better communicate with potential clients.

You may be in the right but this tone will put me off as a potential client, in what is a simple case of miscommunication.

Good luck.

It has been done severally. Check various threads of Spyder880 for samples. You dont install the ceiling fan directly on the POP, rather on roofing wood or if decking on a specialized hook incorporated into the concrete slab during decking process. Thanks.

Hajji M.
I thought so too. When I insisted on this for my project, the supervising Engineer and the entire gang of artisans said “oga, the POP go fall”. It was me vs the world and I changed my mind to my continuing regret.

Our people are sometimes too stuck in their ways.

The guy needs to be taken out of public for a while and not let back until he's been thoroughly psychologically counselled. He is a letdown to whatever 'Cambridge' education he claims and lacks any sense of decorum.

I do fear for his close family and dependants. They must be living in hell.

In my last build I used interlocking, but knowing what I know now I would have used stamped concrete. But the stamped concrete should be a good standard concrete, well stamped and colored. Even the, Spyder advised me to use stamped concrete, I should have listened.
But both have pros and cons. Thanks.

My issue is when everyone has 'concreted' their entire compounds and no way for water to saturate naturally, we end up with more floods as a society. There should be a law against this IMO.

Good morning all. I have a quick (newbie) question.

Why is the European version of the 8th Gen Honda not popularly exported to Naija? Most of the offerings for sale are the North American version?

The Euro version has sharper lines and better looking than the round-bottomed North American ones that predominate IMO.

Is there a particular reason for this preference? And will the Euro spec command a premium?

Thanks for your time.

Are we seeing a pattern of the 'strong' beating/bullying the 'weaker'.

Perhaps the world has been looking at the issue of domestic violence in silos.

It is really the stronger picking on/bullying/beating the weaker in a domestic setting.

Thanks.

He's got some great designs

The beauty is that I visited his factory myself and selected what I want

The one with the see through glass was selected for the kitchen and his boys are on ground to work to specifications
These are beautiful doors. Better than the imported chinese rubbish they used on mine.

I'll happily rip them out and replace at an opportune time (pocket willing).

The warm glow of 'buying Nigerian' is a bonus.

Still it be helpful if you display pictures of what you guys have actually done. The pictures you posted are actually foreign catalogues.
Seconded. If I show you my 'design' vs 'actual' pictures side-by-side, after gulping millons, you will want to apply to Yaba-Left for permanent residency. Some of these people will not make heaven.

DO NOT pick a 'designer' from this platform unless they can display actual works alongside the designs they prepared.
Then also go and visit previous jobs. Speak with previous clients etc.

Boring hole is a must because the heat should be extracted out. You need to pipe it out using 75mm PVC pipe.
I agree that the best option is to bore out of the room but where this is not possible, there are recirculating type hood extractors where the air is moved through a filter in the same room. These things are primarily for odor elimination than heat extraction.

Politics › Re: Galaxy Backbone: Clauses Conceding Nigeria's Sovereignty To China Uncovered by jabolo(m): 1:22pm On Jul 29, 2020
Vosopirin:
Can't fathom
Ok, you ask (hopefully for education) before jumping to conclusion...

First of all, Sovereign immunity clauses are normal and widely used. Many countries incuding Nigeria have signed of hundreds if not thousands of them so I believe these lawmakers are either grandstanding, or unaware of how international finance works.

Let's go:

- Nigeria (represented by a parastatal) wanted to take a loan from a Chinese entity (or have a Chinese entity perform a job on 'credit') and negotiates a contract;
- As part of the negotiations, they agreed what to do when a dispute arises (this is called 'arbitration', the adopted rules are generally 'clear and fair');
- Assume the arbitration goes against Nigeria, let's say the panel awards an amount to be paid to the Chinese entity;
- If Nigeria does not pay, the Chinese entity would not want to go to Abuja High court (lol!) to enforce the award;
- It would want to head to another jurisdiction and the 'waiver of sovereign immunity' is the Nigerian Government effectively conceding that saying - "if after we have gone to arbitration and we are at fault, you can sue us in a court in another jurisdiction to recover your payment"
- In these jurisdictions, the only assets the court can assess for seizure in case of continuous non-payment by Nigeria are usually commercial assets and not diplomatic and military assets;
- For commercial assets, think NNPC/NPA London office building, Nigeria Airways airplanes (Ha!) etc;
- For excluded assets ,think Embassy buildings, airforce jets, Presidential jets , Arms and ammunition paid for etc.

Replace 'Nigeria' and 'Chinese Entity' above with any other country and any other entity in a contractual relationship and the same applies.

Investors deem these necessary as a direct function of the lack of confidence in our Judiciary. Any country with a weak and non-independent judiciary would find it difficult to attract foreign investments without these clauses. If we fix our judiciary and it establishes precedence in enforcing against Government entities in test cases with arbitration awards paid when due, these sort of clauses would begin to be phased out in new agreements.

So, the danger with this legislative 'over-reach' is that foreign investors would not invest, simple. The tap will be turned off.

Now I'm not necessarily defending it but I hope you now understand better.

Anyone that estimates a Septic tank project without first knowing the actual dimensions of the project, nature of the soil with respect to water table, kind of tank to construct is surely out to mislead!

Well, while my intention is not to counter the honest effort to make it easy for one to Know what to expect or spend for aseptic tank project, i have properly estimated a septic tank project from beginning to end!

You can follow the steps to know how to estimate for others too!

The only thing left for you is to take the highlights number of materials quoted to the market and obtain the amounts for yourself

Reason: Prices Differ!

I also encourage those with similar project to reach out with their septic tank dimensions so that i can estimate the cost of the project for free!

Politics › Re: Magu: Recovered Vehicles Auctioned To Presidential Villa, Ministries by jabolo(m): 10:39am On Jul 22, 2020
I despair at the lack of comprehension displayed by people on this thread. The headline was carefully designed to attract the responses displayed so far but none read the actual report. What is wrong with ...

a) Approval to sell vehicles to Government Agencies, not persons (including agencies working in the difficult area of disaster response)?
b) Vehicles valued by a legitimate authority?
c) Payments to be deducted from the Agencies' accounts as payments?

Apparently, the system failed at (c) because of typical Government inefficiencies as we all can witness but the the vehicles are still being used in Government circles, saving us money.

I don't see how else this could have been done except some persons here are at pains from missing out on a public vehicle auction. If all the above steps are documented, then we should not be so cynical.
