This is good news
I guess operation crocodile smile is haunting them
Let's see how it pans out
Fingers crossed

What happened to viber, what app ,
Yahoo messenger even bbm video calls

VoIP is the way to go

I hope a new party comes up sooner that will keep the ruling party on his toes
Pdp has turned into a joke

This falae has been eating and dining from the federal govt purse since his days as sgf
Some people are extremely lucky
Ladoja should be warming up

Same here in ibadan
For 5 days now

Nice

You have been absent from property section?

We still have good people

There's so much hunger in the land
This is unprecedented

Kudos to Efcc
He's been very quiet of late
I miss his rants tho

?
What is this
What did he name it
This no invention
Invention has passed this

U can hit me up if you want

How much is the oil and filter for 2000 Lexus and 05 tundra

Nice
Right On the spot

The hair styles got no joke
I have no pity for criminals
They obviously not first time offenders by their looks
The dead one is even luckier, those caught ones will beg for death before death finally knocks, albeit very slowly

That's why I make use of mallforafrica

But it's not only getting water at 80m is it? Doesn't the water have to flow consistently for at least 5 or 6 hours before it's considered a success?

Either way, it appears that I will need to prepare to pay this lump soon because the fence is going up!!!!

A hole is classified as low medium or high yield
You will be very lucky to have a continuous flow of water on that site for one hour

From my years of experience I have not seen a yield of 3 hours continuous water even with high yield
You should pls try and get the ground water history of that area so as to envisage what to be expected by looking at nearby wells or boreholes

msogunro:
Thank you. He said smaller rig. He said it goes just as deep and the borehole would end up the same as if it was done by the big rig.

I asked why it was cheaper, but he kept saying it is because it's smaller. Doesn't make sense to me. I was hoping someone would know.

Smaller rig means local rig
Whether local or Chinese, the drilling methodology remains the same
It's either a 5 or 7 bit that goes into the ground
Anyway I seriously doubt if any local rig can go 240 ft, I stand to be corrected tho

I will only advise you use the big Chinese rigs cos of that terrain
They do charge 5k per meters
80m will go for 400k
If they hit water before 80m, your change hoes into your pocket

Naa ponzi scheme

@mmitimo
Good piece you wrote up there

Nigeria is what it is because good people refused to speak up against corruption

The real victims are the folks who lost millions of money to one unrepentant garrulous quack mr jack of all trade master of none

The real thief is not the guy that went to steal but his supporters, so says an adage

We should all learn to condemn what's wrong

[b]@Fastshipping.....The project started in January last year. Let's just say, I finished paying for carcass as at October last year due to several delays from him. I was paying in installment at the end of each completed stage but not long after the project started, I started paying him out of next installmental payment continuously. He told me the house will be completed in less than 6 months but obviously, thats history now. I paid last in december when Bosun Shoyoye a.k.a Brabus convinced me to pay for plastering and screeding since it could be going on concurrently. Till now, roofing hasn't been done. One story after another, he is so full of stories and excuses. I was in Nigeria last month and the house has lots of errors, which I don't want to start going into details now since he said has corrected some of them. But in all sincerity, i curse daily, the day I met him. Anyone that decides to consider him or give him a second chance like I have done and a few others have done, will one day write a similar story.

Babalose[/b]

This is totally heartbreaking

How about avoiding a climate like Nigeria where govt policies determine the longevity of your businesses

The hypocrisy here stinks to high heaven
It will be hard for peace to return to this place without justice being done

All the folks supporting brabus should pay back maverick or shut up

Money is very hard to make

It's fun tho
But the nurtw still missed lots of apparel

Big thick lips
Horrible faces with various scars on their body

Nice job
I followed back to back
Maybe one of these days I can do same to one of my bikes if time and dollars permit

Auxiliary is a first time offender ?
I tot he's a multiple time offender

I vote FYNESTBOI

Cc: NLJEGA

Nice match
But I give it up for the Japanese for its not over until it's over attitude

Osun got 1.2 billion which is the lowest
What's oyo and ondo doing with their allocations
Osun state has more on going projects than the two states combined
Efcc needs to focus on those two states pls

It's never been this bad in this country
What's the way forward. ?

[quote author=msogunro post=48043131]Jesu!!! The geological survey recommends drilling 90 meters.

That's very deep
I will be more concerned with the quantity of water envisaged
The report will show the no of cracks in the hole
If I'm drilling about 100m and there's only two cracks then it might even be a dry one

I will advise you get a second survey opinion because survey gets pampered a lot

Also get someone to ask around of existing borehole nearby or even well (kanga) to know the ground water history in that domain

Meanwhile pls try and be there while drilling the hole to avoid stories that touch

msogunro:
@n3xt

Wow! This is becoming a bit overwhelming. Overwhelming only because I'm not on ground to handle things myself. I'm not sure if my people will have the patience to monitor things the way I will want them to.

I may have to delay the borehole and just build the fence on 3 sides so my neighbors don't overstep their boundaries. When I return later this year, I'll dea
l with the borehole myself.

The fact is the depth of aquifers differ from sites to sites
Volume of water also varies from low yield to max yield
Some sites have obviously low yield as a result of the formation

Once the survey result is out
You can take it from there

n3xt:
From experience, regardless of who the rigger is:

1. I will pay only 30% of agreed total and balance on completion. Completion means after 6 hours non-stop pumping of water from the well.

2. I'll do my survey independently with a reputable lab that the driller also approve. Ibadan has lot of labs considering the institutions around. They'll give accurate datas. Most geophysical surveys are copy and paste. #fact. If in doubt, show us the process here and the lab name.

3. I'll do my negotiation based on the agreed depth. Buy the materials required, ask for the number of days required for the job, hire the equipment (I'm sure an operator will follow the equipment) and pay the driller per day.

That way if anything goes wrong (which is always the case) after drilling to recommended depth, the lab will bear the consequence of providing inaccurate data.

The most important equipment for the job is the air compressor. I'll look for the best around and not the old ones (that's what most riggers like to use). In Ibadan dialect, "Engine to ba wa l'owo mu n'iyen"


You may need to ask your driller the following question:

- What happens if we hit stone? Because you'll always hit stone when problem wants to start and most cases owner bears the extras.

- What happens if installation exceed the number of days given? Who bears the extra cost of the equipment?

If the driller agrees to 1 above, there's no need for all the other wahala. I'll just mobilize and come back to site when they're done.


________
To measure the depth is very easy, the rope used to drop the pumping machine is what you need to use. You'll definitely know when the rope is tight; mark it and measure the length.

The cost of doing borehole in some terrain requires more attention than what's required for the main building itself. If you miss it once, you might end up not having water on your site because of the initial cost outlay and the risks involved.

Many atimes, incorrect survey result messes up the whole job.

Sorry to say this
You are just a jack of all trade
Master of none obviously

Sinking a borehole is not abc as you analysed above

msogunro:
That's something I'm concerned about. How will I prevent that? Is there something that shows clearly the number of meters?

The big Indian rig drilling pole is 20ft each
Those local ones are 10ft long
You can know the drilled depth by monitoring the no of poles drilled into the ground

You can as well post the results of the survey
I can assist in translating it

But at the end what matters most is getting water optimally

msogunro:
Thank you. I'm in discussion with an Ibadan based company.



This is very helpful. Thank you.

You also have to be careful so they don't add imaginary meters in order to increase their profit

msogunro:
Yeeeeaaaaa!! 11.5k per meter?? Chaii. Lord give me strength and deeper pockets.

Now I know what to expect, unless the cost has increased.

Thanks.

Drilling in Ibadan is 5,000 per meter
Geological survey is 20k
