Okay, good to know. If you would allow me to give a word of advice, kindly strive to refrain from similar in any of your future projects. for a variety of reasons amongst which are-

1. It infringes against town planning and Government regulated setbacks for properties from fence and party walls. The current govt may not be up and doing to its enforcement at the moment but you can never tell what will happen in 5-10-20 years down the line and this may be required to conform to the planning norms. Asides, if it is not in an enclosed private estate chances may exist for need by the govt to encroach on fence lines for construction or expansion of road infrastructure and the partial removal of this building may be inevitable while govt would not be ready to pay for it because it contravenes standing planning and land usage laws.

2. The cantilever (extension) of the first floor slab outside the perimeter is not good as with that you have not only eaten up the required setback the building is meant to have with the fence, you have also extended outside of your property perimeter with this extension (technically that extension is in public space) and maybe prone to catch the eye of govt agents.

Even if the govt doesnt have intent to take any action against the buildings but should you have an adversary, he may want to use this to draw some blood form you by hurting you through the above methods by calling the attention of the govt agents to it.

3. The foundation of the columns along the fence line is interacting with the fence, the foundation may be threatened in the future by the following- (i) gradual loss/washing away of soil from the front of the fence as is common place esp in places without tarred roads and complementing drainages.
(ii) where adequate allowance has not been given for location of drain, the foundation (if pad footing) may obstruct the construction of the drain or if the foundation is raft foundation, may end up serving as the inside face of the drain which is not a good practice as it will affect the service life of the foundation.

4. Security implications- as it is a living unit, anyone with intrusion intent can confidently break through the wall from the outside with a sledge hammer being confident that he will rewarded with instant access to an apartment without any additional obstacle. Also on this security implication is that the windows of the upper floor facing outside will be tempting for privacy intrusion and theft through the use of a ladder to either quickly pick small things within proximity of the window or depending on the strength of the burglary in-place (if any), give direct access to the apartment again without any additional obstacle.

Just my thoughts, hoping they will come in handy to help shape your decision on your future projects.

The current realities in the country has made it important for us to take elective courses on the subject.

IyawoToBe:

Ijeoma660:
Was my former colleague at the office.

4gunners:
You're been sarcastic, right?

donbachi:
No more natural deaths in nigeria..anybody wey die na coronavirus kill am..dem 4get sey hypertension na silent killer and so many adult nigerians get one underlined health issue.my uncle died yesterday in ph,and was taken to the mortuary at upth.my people were confronted by two guys whose jobs are to tell bereaved families,to write covid-19 as cause of death.

ThierryJay:
Jarus, I don't understand this your game play o. Not everyone here will know that you are only being sarcastic.

You may end up making more people believe it's a hoax cos of your exposure.

Except this moniker is an impostor.

gypsey:
Yes! you are right! there is not corona in Nigeria, it's all a scam, just like APC and Nigeria herself is a big scam.

seguno2:
What makes you think so

andriods:
I for like know you one on one

AreaFada2:
Very nice work Jarus. Kudos.

damidele:
Great work @ Jarus. However I would like to ask is that 2-storey building sitting on the edge of the fence the gate house?

JasonJidenna:
The Economist of London are so correct....


Yes, Abba Kyari tried to clean up Nigeria financially with the mismanagement of public funds.


He went to Germany to discuss issues relating to the Nigeria Power sector, when we have a healthy Minister? Tell me, is that not an avenue to "Clean up Nigeria" financially?

Anyone planning to "Clean up Nigeria" like Abba Kyari will join him soon.


He was a "good man" my left yansh.

bluefilm:
It's your choice to believe whatever you choose to believe.

Likewise me.

Seasonal flu does not over run the morgues but when you make every death to appear as COVID related, you are bound to see figures that will surely frighten you.

At the beginning of the pandemic in america, Dr. Fauci, the US top immunologist, using only-God-knows-what-mathematical-model predicted that there will be up to 2 million deaths...

But as time goes on, the reality on ground has shown that the real number of deaths is not even anywhere close to that figure they initially used to scare the masses into willingly giving up their freedom to accept the house arrest.

Now Fauci and co, are trying to ramp up the numbers just to cover up the fraud.

Now do know what most of doctors who are now beginning to speak up concerning this COVID hoax are now saying?

They are saying that since the COVID broke out and the number of people who are said to have died as a result of the COVID19 has continued to go up, the number of people dying of seasonal flu has dramatically gone down!!!

What does that tell you?!

Please, take your time and listen to informed people like Dr. Shiva. Search for him on youtube and listen to what he has to say concerning this coronavirus of a thing.

Don't be trapped to only one source of information.

Try and have a more balanced view of ongoing affairs.

That way, you may be able to understand the COVID scam that is going on...

That is why I just love this question the OP asked on this thread: how many people personally do you know have died of this virus?

And now I'm also asking you this: How come NIGERIAN morgues are yet to be over run?

Tampa6246:
Since covid 19 came , nobody dies of cancer, blood pressure, heart attack e.t.c. every single death in Nigeria now is covid 19. Smh

harakiri:
O

Please calculate how much naira Abacha stole and compare it with the billions and billions of dollars in "aid" money coming. A handful of people in power are listing billions and billions used to "fight" the virus just within these few weeks and the only results we see are 7,000 tests for the whole nation and a satchet of noodles, few cups of rice and 1/4th a tuber of yam which hasn't reached 1% of the populace. Finally, why aren't we seeing corpses all over TV like it was when HIV was gaining ground? Why is the North which just started lockdown receiving palliatives (even before lockdown sef) while people have been starving for a month down south?

Some of you folks talking from your high horses are fortunate... I can't hate on that. But there are millions of peeps going days at a stretch without food. I don't expect you to care. Reality is this govt it incapable of handling covid 19.

I suggest what Czech rep is doing...hand gloves, face masks, sanitizers, testing, et all. And let people you can't do shit for get back to work.

Period!

Orubebe01:
Were you having symptoms cos they alwsal insist that the person must show symptoms before going for the test. Also I want to know how long it took for the test to come out.

virginboy1:
The way Kano just came from relegation enter top four still baffles me... anyway, Lagos State is still on top of the table, trying to ..make this pandemic do end...we tired of the figures...
