Idiom. In common usage, means not too expensive.
Sports › Re: Canada, Mexico And The U.S. Will Host The 2026 World Cup. by jabolo(m): 1:30pm On Jun 13, 2018
Stupid decision. Anyway I hope Trump would be a long forgotten memory by then and the US returned to its traditions of general hospitality.

Morocco probably dodged a bullet as it would have had a hard time justifying the spend required for facilities to host 48 countries.

With this unthoughtful expansion, the World Cup is becoming an expensive jamboree which only a few countries, or combinations of countries, can host. At this rate, Nigeria will host it in the world that resets after the apocalypse

Jobs/Vacancies › Don't Call Us, We'll Call You. by jabolo(op): 1:50pm On May 10, 2018
Bear with me, no insults thanks.

Over the next few weeks, months even, I might be looking more closely at people's activities on this forum to identify a young-ish person to initially work with me as a sort of 'Gopher' in Nigeria - providing the local presence for an international undertaking.

It will initially be a part-time role, calling on X amount of your hours a month on a retainer basis, with expenses also paid, but there is the promise of arbsortion into the organization when the local business develops.

* THIS IS NOT A JOB ADVERT, I AM NOT INVITING APPLICATIONS *

It is a personal marker I'm placing here to return to in future when/if I eventually select the person and he/she accepts. I can then provide some information on the whys and hows of the experiment largely for information purposes. As such, I won't visit this thread again until that time.

If you best fit my criteria, I'll be sure to find you and let you know what the deal is.

Thanks.

Cam lock nut. Accessory typically provided with self-assembly flat pack furniture from the likes of IKEA in obodo abroad.

See example ... https://www.furnitureparts.com/products/ikea-cam-lock-nut-110630

earthrealm:
pls, who knows the name is this item?
its used together with a special screw for dismantle-able furniture..especially tables.
it sits in a hole on one side of the furniture, while a screw head protrudes itno it, turning it CW, locks the joint, as 1 part of it pulls firmly on the screw head, turning it CCW, releases the joint, thus you can dismantle that joint

Any update on the World Cup project? I'm very interested. So no more spaces?

Thanks.

Back to my diary,

The cold has been brutal, sometimes I sneeze and instead of mucus, a little blood comes out from my nose. Only thing I hate about Moscow is the cold. My World Cup Project has been good, I’m really grateful to God the project took off really well even after all what happened on here. My partner and I were able to fill the slots through word of mouth and twitter.

It's wrong accusing the police of high handedness ,I personally believe Dino is faking his illness. It was the same police force he used to arrest those he claimed plotted his death. He needs to prove his innocence in court irrespective of perceive hatred from his traducers the law is no respecter of anyone. His foolishness has led to his brothers arrest while he remains the but of joke to sane and impartial observers, indeed wisdom is golden.

Aluminium luvers used to cover the duct areas
A couple of questions:

- Can you supply these louvres?

- If you were to recreate that generator / security building but with a flat roof and none of the fancy brickwork, what would you propose as an overall contract sum in this day and age?

Thank you.

You people always use this faux neutrality line to undermine the credibility of female accusers. Of course, there is a problem of false female accusers but there is an arguably larger problem of men who get away with harassing women because the harassed woman lacks the courage to complain or because harassment apologists like you impugn their motives.
Absolutely, but watch out for Part 2 of this story if it is as she says. It's in the UK so lawyers are probably sharpening pencils right now to run with the case on a pro-bono basis even, and she's set for a massive payoff.

They have a special juju that even unlocks your phone to send these messages. You can see how easy one can confirm acceptance for a phone in your pocket or handbag with ''OK" pressed .

I have my mother's phone and the number of credit-draining subscriptions I discovered there were mind-numbing. Most were totally unrelated to her lifestyle (daily Psalms ferchrissakes!) and these must have been innocently entered into in the above manner.

oparahchi:
it is rather unfortunate that your assumptions are very wrong. To give you pricing, there are certain information I will require of you, hence the reason the post clearly states call for inquiries. You don't speak to anyone in a condescending manner.
Maybe the internet marketer part was unnecessary but that's their typical modus operandi. You probably don't need my business now but consider a client whose engineer is hard selling the standard lazy landscaping solutions, about to sign on the dotted line when he/she sees a new concept online. The first natural question is affordability viz a viz what his/her engineer is pushing.

I maintain that it does not require a clandestine conversation to publicly provide a typical price range for your installations, with the standard caveats. It is done everywhere else as part of a professional service, and one of the many frustrations expressed by people on this forum (your potential clientbase) is the manner service providers are reluctant to offer up price indications. Again, caveats are perfectly fine. For many, it's an immediate turn-off and you will find the most respected (read successful) suppliers here are quite open with price information and then with other technical details when asked.

Like I said, good luck as I head elsewhere, and I certainly didn't intend to be condescending.

Thanks for taking time out to reply but I'm asking if you, as a seasoned professional in the area, have an idea of the typical range of total annual outgoings for these kind of properties?

nex:
Talks are currently ongoing with some Facility Management Companies, and once that is concluded, I'll share the information with you, probably by Monday.


All of the units are of the same price.


Thank you for questions.

Couple of Q's:

What is the likely quantum of Annual service charges for each apartment? And, to whom will it be paid?

Are the End-Terrace units priced same as the mid-Terrace ones?

From the pictures even, I'm still skeptical you can get that many cars in that compound without the daily incovenience of having to shift cars about before use but thanks for taking the time out to reply.

Good luck with the rest of the project.

amazinghomez09:
thanks for your observation i will adress all your concerns.at the back of the building we have an offset of 1m although it didnt meet up with the 3m but it can still run,also the compound is designed to accomodate 3 families.concerning the parking space the compound can comfortably take 5 tô 6 cars also the land is on a corner piece/close só when there is need for more space eg during an occasion the space on the close can be utilised.

Kindly quote alternative price .
I got N200/sq. m for mine but it was probably because it was the same guy finishing off the P-O-P so he wanted to continue on site.

I'm not one for screwing artisans to the bone in these tough times so I think N250 - N300/sq. m is probably fair.

Hope this helps.

Location - Portharcout


Edit: For further reference, my total area is about double yours but I'm getting the screeding done for just under N1m

The problem you might have is that you are using a moniker created just yesterday to ask for this favor. I find it difficult to believe you're new to this forum.

Now, you might have a good reason for doing this but a potential helper can not help but suspect you've been involved in things like religious/tribal e-fights on your original moniker and have insulted some of the very people who could help you.

I despair when I see youths behaving this way on this forum, so senseless.

If I'm wrong, accept my apologies, and also advise us of your other Nl handle. That help you're looking for might then be closer than you think.

Chief,

So, I saw a convoy sirens blaring on Airport Road Abuja with about 6 or more vehicles surrounding one top of the range executive saloon (Maybe BMW 7 series, can't remember).

Heavily armed (with the kind of high caliber guns that should be used for fighting Boko Haram) and all done up like they were accompanying a Head of State.

I vex that day when I saw it was just some bloody Prison Warders and their oga patapata!

Quote me, that's what you should expect from the Peace Corp Commandant once they're allowed to set up.



GBTYO:
Prison warden they harass you?

Their power is restricted to behind tthe prison walls and to its inmates.

One like that drink bear for one joint come dey make noise say e no go pay.

When boys found out say nah useless warden the beating he got no be here.

At the end nah Police e go carry come arrest the owner of the joint.

If a Prison warden dares me the kin slap wey e go get no be here

Take these as positive critiques of the original concept, you're doing a good construction job.

I think this project contravenes the published Obio/Akpor LGA rules. How did you get away with not maintaining the mandatory 3m separation from the wall boundaries?

Practically, that site just looks crammed and would be a nightmare for parking / moving cars assuming you intend to have 4 separate families living there.

Also, would you spend all that money for your room to resemble this hellhole when you look out?

spyder880:
Don't mind my language, but ceiling fans are an affront to a good POP ceiling grin To me, its a necessity I can do without in other to save the beauty of my ceilings.

1. Its ugly on the ceiling
2. Most ceiling fans will come with some vibration on the wood suspending it, incidentally, that's the same wood carrying your POP ceiling. This vibration has a long term effect of making your ceiling unstable.
3. The metal may rust and stain my white ceiling.

I normally use alternatives like an A/C, a standing fan, table fan or a wall mounted fan to supply added ventilation. I am also a fan of the long window which can increase ventilation.
Yes, this is what I found out from my artisans - especially the point about vibration. My Architect & Electrical Engineer had specified ceiling fans for all rooms including those they had also specified with P-O-P and I had simply bought according to the BofQ (also prepared by a qualified QS, mind) without checking. All these professionals missed it.

So, that Mercedes you see in Allcopacetic's front yard, I own the front tires ;-)
