People elsewhere are patenting serious innovations but we're in Nigeria, Na cruise we dey patent!


This man goofed on national television, but because we're too shameless in Nigeria, he went to patent "My oga at the top".

Lawrence Alabi got messed up in a football game and while people laughed, he quickly went to patent "Airlabi".

Oh, and before I forget, the "Elluu Pee 75" guy also patented!!

One day we will wake up and hear that the Nigerian police has patented "Oga park".

Plastics are recyclable, yes..but have you seen the drainages after it rains??

That is why I'm saying, what we need to do is to develop a comprehensive waste management system where these items are adequately disposed!

Those that can be recycled, would be recycled and those that cannot, well..I'm sure we can find ways to destroy those we can't recycle without leaving toxic aftermath for people and the environment.

Anyone who is observant enough would see first hand the havoc these styrofoam packs cause to our drainages...but they don't just develop legs and walk to these drains, they're used and disposed by people. And until we develop a comprehensive waste management approach to deal with stuff like these, you can ban styrofoam today and something else will just take its place tomorrow.


Same issues are also posed by plastics used to package soft drinks, are we going to ban those too??

Please just asking, why are we not seeing aluminum beverage Cans or foil litter the whole place?

The reason is simple, these cans/containers are being recycled. So an aluminium can/container/car doors, etc can be recycled even back to their former selves.. infinitely.

That's why you see scavengers pick them, crush them and sell.

Au revoir NNS "Emi lo Kan".

They wanted to make it a national affair.

This NNPP crisis gradually started creeping up after Kwankwaso began making subtle moves to grab an appointment with the APC.

Quite frankly, it's very possible that what is happening is an attempt to destabilise the party, same way they tried to run down the Labour Party via the instrumentality of Arabambi's rascality and the local native doctor Apapa.

Nigeria, surely cannot become a one party state, but as long as we have anywhere belle face politicians, internal party squabbles will always be capitalized on by the party in power to weaken the opposition.

One of the best news I've waited to hear.
The man Uche Ogbuagu, for those who do not know him, castigated politicians with his "Ọchichi gbakwaa ọkụ" audio-comedy-satire series, only to join politics and become the very thing he mocked for years.

The day my tiler recounted his personal working experience with this man, I knew for sure that most of the things we as Nigerians fight against, is almost what we become when we've had a taste of power.

I am exceeding happy, that jumping into the Labour party did not save him!

malaria:

You are right the way he even abandoned ihedioha sharp sharp and finally joined apc . He should go and rest he is not a good politician.

What we need are good men, a good man doesn't necessarily have to be a good politician.
We have too many good politicians who are just busy politicking.

Katcall:
what is the difference between APC and other parties?

I think you should ask Mahmoud Yakubu.

Wahala wahala wahala

One of the cardinal points of the APC administration's campaign prior to taking power in 2015 was on the fuel subsidy.

I categorically remember the president saying then that whoever says there's subsidy is a thief. This administration has gone ahead to pay trillions of Naira in subsidy and yet here we, fighting for fuel.

We were equally promised new and functional refineries...are we curse in Nigeria or are we the cause?

Election is next month, be angry enough to vote wisely, vote PETER Obi for president!

I could recommend going for jewelry/female stuffs.

Women are good with spending money, especially on personal effects that would beautify them the more.

Just be wary of thefts and those who would try to run down the business by using familiarity as a ticket to purchase on credit.

Lionnation:
Rwanda is doing well the most in Africa, even after fighting a bloody civil war like Nigeria, reason is the they genuinely reconciled among themselves, then they forged ahead in one voice and mind after dialogue with agrieved regions, and apologies were made were necessary and true reconciliation where reached

In life, you cannot wake up a man who is pretending to be asleep. As a country, we know what our problems are, it has always been the few against the many.

Peter Obi's run for the presidency has exposed and continue to expose even those who claim to be for the people, but are actually after their individual needs.

The current APC administration, in all its glory, has plunged this country into a far greater mess than their sycophantic supporters would care to let on.

Almost all indices of good living are on the decline in Nigeria.

So if you're angry as a Nigerian, you have a very valid reason to being angry, and come 2023, translate that anger into voting out these locusts!!!

Obidients, your reasons for wanting genuine, positive change in Nigeria is JUSTIFIED!

Someone should start buying and shipping the EVs to Nigeria..we go use I pass my neighbour dey charge am.

Imagine driving around town with 10litres of fuel and generator for car booth,���

₦50m way back in 2016??
Needless to say that money has lost more than half it's value now.


Are you in need of professional design and construction services, we're here to serve you.

Nigerian politics has mostly been too focused on individual gains against the collective interest of the many.

Porting from party to party has never been an issue with them.

Anyways, let's focus on our individual hustles, shall we?
4units of 2-bedroom apartments design.
Send me a DM for more info.

Odogwu, it is "Lintel", not "rinter" and please, provide the needed materials requested by your Engineer.

The 8mm rods are to be used as links on the reinforcements and will also be very useful during your parapet stage. It is not a waste!

And I hope you have a structural design drawing for your building, no go do "penny wise, pounds foolish".

Best wishes.

This is very subjective and depends on a lot of factors.
But the best is to have a plan/proposal drawn up and estimates run based on what you've chosen.. don't just fall for any blanket "yes" or "no".

Best wishes.

Hello guys..I'm updating this thread after the long break.


So this is where we are now.
Parapet - done.
Roofing - done.

More to follow.

Make she go borrow from Sokoloan.

Scamming is becoming a norm in our society
Funny enough people glorify dox scammers

Yea..until it hits home���

Polynek:
No b only 4 ur side bro

Story plenty oo.
I've heard from others who experienced the same.

Before I start, let me dive a bit backwards to 2019.

Sometime around mid October, 2019..on one beautiful Wednesday evening, my phone rang. A quick check showed the caller wasn't saved on my device..so who could it be??

I picked up and a young man spoke over the phone, "Engineer, good evening Sir..how are you doing", I responded and after the pleasantries, I asked who he was and he passed off as one of my Facebook friends.
Okay, what can I do for you??.. and there goes the story of a big building project for his community, wherein they need a competent Engineer to handle.

We talked at length and manage arrangements for the the familiarisation trip (oh, naive me).

The trip was scheduled for the Friday of the same week.
The very first few red flags obvious from our conversation was clouded by my desire to land a "big project" as at that time. For one, the young man was a bit shady in revealing the exact place we were to go, he said Owerri West, buy Ngor-Okpala was a different LGA on its own.

Long story short, I prepared for the trip, getting constant directions from the guy who was equally supposed to receive me..and halfway through the journey, he called to say he had an office emergency and his brother will take me instead. Aargh, what will I do?? Na money I dey pursue ��‍♂️.

I got to Ngor-Okpala junction shortly before Airport road, told the bike man where I was going to, and he confirmed the direction via phone from the guy who was supposed to pick me (the bike men seems to be in on all these) and we proceeded to the village. I can't even remember the name �.

At the village, I was take to what looks like an "Obi" outside an old village building.
Here I was to meet the community Chief who is in charge of the project, the village youth leader and of course, the guy who brought me there.

Now it gets interesting.

I asked a series of questions regarding the project, it's financier, the project documents, the estimated duration etc.
Initially, it was difficult to make these guys show me the drawings, as I was already a bit suspicious but did my utmost best to mask it.

Now, come and see building document..it looked so much like those University handouts you'd have to use pen to reproduce some of their wording in order to study, yea..it was that bad. Looked like what has been photocopied over 50times. The state of the document confirmed my initial suspicion and from then onwards, I had to be the "yes man" who would do everything required just to convince them I was already hooked.

Okay, una go give me the document make I run estimates nau, come know how the project go cost. The old man, probably in his 70s quickly chipped in that the previous man that came bidded ₦200m, but that he would prefer to have me run the project because the guy who brought me (he claims the guy is his nephew), has told him that I'm a very good friend of his (Ndi Ara).

Finally, they said I had to settle them before I could be allowed to leave with the document.
Settle��.

I said okay, what would that involve??(I was thinking they will just ask me for ₦2k ��). But I got the shock of my life.

Goat, crates of beer, malt for women, kola nut, alligator pepper, and some other few things + ₦150k cash.
At this point I was laughing in my mind, but was nodding and even went as far as asking theme to repeat so I could write the items down.

Already, I know say I don enter..Na to come out be the issue..what do I do??
I made a play for man's greatest undoing.. VANITY and self aggrandisment.
I promised the old man I would renovate his Obi once he project was underway (this move was particularly important because it helped drive home the feeling that I was already in their hook).

Again, I said..since I am coming from Aba, it could be uncomfortable having to carry all the items from Aba down to the village, so I asked "Is there anywhere I can get these things around, so I would just worry about transporting it within the village"? Or better still, can one of you help me get these, I'd rather we put some figures on each and I make a transfer a day before I return (I was billed to return the following week, a Wednesday.. because I told them I had a job to round up and get paid between Saturday and Tuesday).

To the second question, the youth leader accepted he could be reached to get the items..we brought our meeting of over 2hrs to a close and I was eager to leave..the boy who brought me in asked for some money to eat, me..I needed to give off the vibe of a generous "mugu", as I wouldn't know or want to find out what might be my date of the suspect otherwise. You never can tell if those who didn't play ball came back with their heads on their shoulder.

It's been like 3years since this incident and I keep thanking God for the grace to think swiftly and escape from this net. I even got the old man's phone contact, all part of the scheme to fool the scammers.

And today, one clown contacted me again via Facebook, same stuff, same format and I begin to ask..does it mean the people of Ngor-Okpala are not aware of these happening in their domain or are they all into it too??

I have heard stories from others, even on twitter, same Ngor-Okpala, same hospital project, same format..not one, not two, not three and it would likely not end here if nothing is done to rid these communities of people dragging their names in mud.

Who knows, those who didn't play their games well might either end up being kidnapped instead, or murdered and body parts sold off. This thing cannot continue to be happening.

We as a people need to do better!!!

Massive respect to Samuel Onunaka Mbakwe, who built the amazing storm water drainage in Aba emptying into Aba River.. decades later, it stands strong and functional.

₦30b my foot!!!

No be second hand clout she dey chase??
People doing silly things just to be talked about.


Anyway, construction and design is my full time job.
Hit me up let's get started on your dream structure.

I think something is wrong with FBN USSD services. About 2weeks ago, I initiated an airtime purchase of ₦2,000..got debited but never credited.

I sent them a mail after more than 24hrs without reversal, they logged the complaint and gave 5workings days to investigate and revert..it's been more than a week..no response.

I was lucky to have had one attempt of ₦400 recharge that was unsuccessful yesterday reversed.
Issue like this are always quickly resolved when you call out these banks on twitter, but alas, Buhari and Lai mhmd don give them breathing space to fully utilise their anyhowness. This is Nigeria where every conceivable thing is rigged against you.

Stormtrooper11:
An Igbo Nigerian wedding expenses list, was posted online on Twitter. It was trailed with different comments from different people. While some saw it as an appropriate list, others saw it as unnecessarily expensive.

What are your opinions Nairalanders?

1st Pic: The actual marriage, Bride price list
2nd & 3rd Pics: File photos for illustrations

Seun, I would really like to know the mod who pushed this to the front page and for what reason.

A very close look at the image shows the contents are clearly intended to malign the Igbo, give people reason to cast aspersions on our culture and traditions!!!

Otherwise, how or where on earth would you have a "marriage list" from an Igbo family without KOLA-NUT (ọji Igbo)
They fabricator even went as far as including "pigs", just legodu ��

In this era where people create all sorts of things to to generate social media frenzy and drive blog traffic, I feel your mods should be better educated or try to have clear insights so that they don't end up playing into people's hands.

This topic needs to be removed in its entirety, thank you.
