slightlyMad:Just imagine? #20,000 Bail for a demonic Peodophile! Who knows, most of these Judges are also "Closet" Sexual Perverts. We need Death Penalty for certain offences like RAPE and KIDNAPPING. Enough is enough! Lastpage! |
brabus:Sir Brabus: If God were to punish "HYPOCRISY', you and many others would be dead by now but God is a merciful God. ![]() I am not going to dig into your "Building past and the various shenanigans that followed" as you suggested ....because YOU know them, I know them and we all know them! They are on "digital record" here on Nairaland. I am not someone to "gang-up" with other people l have never met (and no one here has ever met me in real life as well) because l am able-enough to take on anyone in a discussion (l say this with due respect and modesty) and l dont bite more than l can chew. I am not a Builder and will never claim to be a "Qualified Builder" despite the fact that l have built houses and have completely built a Storey building from "scratch to finish" without the input of anyone except the Architect and his team of Engineers who designed and certified the Drawings. To them l give the credit. I am also not in your "League" because you build for a living while l dont! Having said that, you will agree with me that any intelligent person, will pick-up a lot of knowledge from this property section... especially if you are naturally smart, educated, read widely and DONT BITE MORE THAN YOU CAN CHEW! ![]() Apart from one or two people here on Nairaland, most of you who parade yourself as BUILDERS are not better than any "experienced lay-man" because most of what you know today, were garnered from "Question and Answer / opinion sessions" of Nairalanders .... but that is exactly what we are doing here; EDUCATING EACH OTHER! Most of Builders here started out doing "Trial-Error- Correction" process, learning from past mistakes and you are no different. So, dont start "forming James Bond" of building industry. To be candid, you have pulled-off a few good jobs due to your tenacity and doggedness (as against being actually trained and qualified as a certified builder) and l give you a lot of credit for that but if you check, you happen to be the "most reviled" builder here on Nairaland. That is just the facts of the matter. Take it or leave it. Truth hurts! While we all make mistakes, what we should be/do is act and speak humbly, especially to those people whose job you used as "Guinea Pig" in your quest for improvement as a builder. You are the least qualified person to be making snide remarks like "God punish hypocrisy"! You are very good at deviating and deflecting responsibility, when you mess-up. As in many instances, just look at how you "stealthily and stylishly injected Abeokuta" into the post, to create a diversion and digression! Smart though, l must admit ![]() I can tell you the truth because l dont give a hoot (l am not expecting any favours from you now or in the future, beyond the usual "Question and Answer" that we share on Nairaland) .....and l actually like you as a person (someone who is striving very hard and tenacious in his work despite having a different background. I also think you are somebody who does not shy-away from a "Building Challenge! these are attributes l respect in a person) but dont stylishly even try to be smart with me! ![]() Dont forget, the issue we started out with was nothing personal and was not about you, as a person. It was about "How to implement a helical/Spiral staircase without "obvious support". It was when you started "lecturing us in a disparaging manner", like you are some Holy Grail of Building, that is when l reminded you to "take it easy". Even Oga Spyder gets criticised. He and many other have been criticised several times and it was never a problem but unlike you, he does not go on this "pontifical defensiveness" that at times comes across as an "Effrontery" to the Client. I suspect you seem to think "Everybody is out for your head" somehow? ![]() That is not true Bro, Relax and free your mind. *Be less haughty and arrogant, especially with your clients, when issues arise. *Listen more and brag less. You are still learning and l pray God will increase your wisdom *Take responsibility when you make mistakes or fail to live up to your responsibility to your clients, dont jump into "defensive mode". *Sorry is a powerful word that solves a lot of problems, if and when used properly. *You are educated to Graduate level (hence your superior packaging ) but dont ride rough-shod over others, using "grammar" to stealthily insult them. I have seen a lot of this in your 'rejoinders'. Chose your words carefullyNobody has told you this before probably because there are too many Hypocrites around here who want to "please you" because they want you to give them a contract or want/expect a favour from you, in he near future or one or two just want to maintain excellent relationship with you at all cost (A good thing though) but l am not just cut out for mincing words. My Bad! Remember, we dont actually see ourselves ........and sycophants will tell us 'what we want to hear' .... But a true friend is "your mirror" and should tell you the "brutal truth" without any fear or favour. Now, you are free to dislike me for saying this or you can take the "good part" of it and make it a learning experience. Its your choice. It does not make me to like you less....... and has no effect on me whatsoever Lastpage! House: Sorry for the digression, we just need to clear this up before it goes any further. |
autotrader014:Your Vote is inconsequential! It never mattered before and it will never matter in 2019 and even till 2099. Shove your PVC up your "backside hole"! Lastpage! |
But to the disappointment of those who have for long expected Genevieve to choose a life partner and finally walk down the aisle, marriage does not seem to be in her agenda yet. Asked when she would finally take the plunge, the actress replies that contrary to speculations, she has not ruled out marriage. But that she would make up her mind as soon as she meets the right person. So, after all the "good times", you are saying even Atiku is not the right man? This "Bridge" that Trailer, 911, MAN truck, Danfo, Molue, Okada and even Authorischka don pass numerous times na im still dey find the "right man"? Abeg, say something else. Lastpage! |
brabus:I hope you practice what you preach as some of your builds have to be amended over and over. In some cases, Nairalanders have to wade-in an offer suggestions on how to rectify the problems some of your builds created. We are not claiming to be structural Engineers but what the Poster requested for was a solution to a simple "short" staircase design, not some 3rd mainland Bridge ........... and the challenge is simple enough (Avoid Visible Support). l think we should be modest ............so that "the Pot does not say the kettle is black"! Abeg,, let us leave the matter. it is resolved. BTW: The structural Engineers get involved at the Design Stage (They are supposed to work with the Architect during the Archi-Design state) after which the drawings are certified "constructable", by appending their (Structural/mechanical/Electrical) STAMP to the drawing. They also coming-in during the "Building Proper", as they supervise the builder...... except where Builders like "Brabus" take-over their job and become Builder/Structural/mechanical Engineer all rolled into one! ![]() Well, if the design is "simple enough", l guess with enough knowledge and experience, you can get-by. Lastpage! |
mufutau55:That door is a waste of time. The robbers that operated in Festac last week just used Dynamite to blow the thing off! ![]() It snot even Bullet proof! Its just a "metal detector" in Glass casing! Abeg, since its not fulfilling its purpose, they better remove it and let us pass. Lastpage! |
[size=18pt]ADVICE HIM TO MARRY A SECOND WIFE SO YOU CAN SHARE THE "BURDEN"![/size] ![]() Chop alone, ..........Die alone nii now ![]() Lastpage! |
madridguy:Unfortunately, PEJ was not a "wise" woman! She was responsible to at least 80%, for the loss of GEJ at the last Polls. She just CREATED HATRED FOR THE MAN! Lastpage! |
midolian:I hope society starts paying attention to the "real domestic violence" in the society nowadays! It is WOMEN BASHING and KILLING THEIR HUSBANDS. Men are endangered from their wives. Lastpage! |
nedu666: So its now Linda Ikeji that is your headache? Bullshyte!! [size=18pt]You nor get sense at all![/size] ![]()
|
nedu666:At the bolded. I bet you made that statement under the "erroneous impression" that it is only Igbos that own shops, in the whole of Akure, they are the only ones that buy and sell stuffs as well? You are dead-wrong! There has been commerce in Akure, before these Ibos ever stepped foot there.... and there will continue to be commerce there, after their exit. "One of the failures of mortal men is to think they are indispensable". - Julius Ceaser Lastpage! |
@Egun. Below is a snapshot of a 5-Board Foundation ....and the Slab on it afterwards .... all done without a single grain of sand. Cement, G-Dust and Granite all through. I say go for it, you wont regret it. Lastpage!

gabbytabby:\ Thank you gabby, for this simple line! It is exactly what l proposed earlier (as posted below) but because l have not done Computer-Aided Design with a lot of dy/dx to boot, ....they think l dont know what l am talking about! ![]() lastpage:Dearis God sha! I know if l need to do it, l will pull it off safely. ![]() |
EgunMogaji:Yes, with DPC under......... but it is not really compulsory if it is going to be a "low traffic, private residential" home that is not more than a storey. Lastpage! |
Drsmiles:They prefer to live in denial and delude themselves that it is because they are better than everybody! ![]() People with such mentality are beyond help! Nothing you say will stick in their brain .... if there was one in that flathe@d. Lastpage! |
malachytochukwu:Stop dodging the main issue. It happened recently in South Africa, they did not just lock their Shops, they rampaged and descended on these "aggressive immigrants and clubbed some of them to death as well". And when you check, majority of the rabble-rousers are the same Nnyamirin-ibos we are talking about. Until the Ibos learn to conduct themselves properly, obey laid down guidelines, respect their host and be less aggressive in their daily conduct, such events will continue to repeat itself. Do you not remember it happened in China, some years back? It should have dawned on you guys that Your Behaviour is what is generating all these hatred for you[b] but you chose to LIVE IN DENIAL[/b]. Kontinue, you hear. ![]() Lastpage! |
brabus:It is like a decking, in terms of being self-supporting (after the initial bamboo/Plank support have been removed) at the end of the day. Even the "Computer Design Software" that generates these designs and calculations, is written by people "Who can first CONCEPTUALIZE WHAT THEY WANT TO ACHIEVE..... put it on paper and then convert it to a software program! We need to start thinking "out of the box" and not just doggedly rely on what is already available. That is how we innovate. There is a "process and workflow" to such procedure. That you think it is not possible, does not mean it is not possible, its just that as of now, YOU cant figure it out yet. ![]() Lastpage! |
EgunMogaji:Please do. You wont regret it I did same not too long ago ....No Sand at all. It was excellent but ensure that it is well-mixed since the absence of Sand would mean that only the cement will act as the "binder" to the stones. You will then have to strike a balance between "Cement" and "Fluidity". My Builder was saying the Cement is enough but l also reminded him that the "binding effect" is equally important otherwise, cracks will develop during curing. Its all about the "Science" Lastpage! |
EgunMogaji:Egun, you are on-point! First, l used "Decking" to explain-away the use of wood underneath, as TEMPORARY SUPPORT. That is, you use it to support the weight and when it is cured/dry, you remove it as the "cured concrete" can now be self-supporting. Secondly, "Nothing floats in the air" ! ![]() Except it is an aeroplane and that is only for a definite period! The staircase in question will have a 'beginning'... and an 'end'! These two correspond to the basement of the stairs ....and the landing at the top. This is where the supports will be (Start stairs, and end of stairs). I am sure what the @Op has in mind is a stairs that does not have any support "in-between", apart from those at the base and "landing". So, theoretically, like the span of a bridge, in-between one support and another, a RIGIDITY that is "strong enough to not deform", between those two points. Correct me if l am wrong. That is why l suggested embedded, reinforced Metal plates that span the length of the Stairs but are invisible to the naked eye, when finished. When it is still wet, you need the wooden support to hold its weight (This why l used a Deck as an example), but when it is fully cured, a combination of the strength of the Concrete and the embedded reinforcements is enough to carry the weight and make it self-supporting.

Demdem2: ![]() I cant laugh o! ![]() Lastpage! |
Keneking:AIT needs to be investigated properly and shut down permanently. Dokpesi himself needs to be taught some good lessons... That man is a disgrace to his name and family. Zero Moral compass! Lastpage! |
gbosaa:Good response. How many times have the "ba'ale of Yourbas in Onitsha" gone to depose the 'elected Chairman of Omatta"? or replace the Chairman of Onitsha market with a Yoruba man? I am sure you are already laughing and thinking "It will never happen"! ![]() Finally, if that is how they do in the East, be informed that "That IS NOT how they do in the West"! Akure is NOT in the East, Each to its own .In Rome, you act as Romans... otherwise the King throws you into the dungeon, to be eaten by Lions. Simples! Lastpage! |
saintandsinnerz:You "Nnyamirins" like to deceive yourselves too much. An "authentic" Oba selected one of his subjects and anointed him "Babaloja" of Oja Oba (Head of the King's Market). You strangersand your Eze "challenged his authority" and said you have elected one Nnyamirin ingrate as the head, thereby removing the one one the King selected. Which King worth its salt will allow that to happen? How many Yorubas own shops at Onitsha Market? Abeggi, go back to your village if you cant behave yourselves. Lastpage! |
Tomtoxic:. ![]() You sure say you no be relation to this Oba! [b]Una Badt too much! Lastpage! |
jaxxy:LIAR! LIAR!! LIAR!!! Let them publish the Receipt! ![]() Lastpage! |
MrEverest:Akure Bus is at Alaba and Ojota. Just #1,000 Take a Bus and go and open it for them, IF YOU DARE. ![]() Bloody "chest-beating' COWARDS! ![]() Lastpage! |
ozodigboo:dont get too emotional with him The Question you should al ask yourself, is staring you in the face: Can that Yoruba/Hausa King/Sarakin/Oba/Eze go and remove someone your Igbo Eze selected to represent him, and impose their own choice in his place? That is the issue at stake. Address that issue and matter is settled. Lastpage! |
PHIPEX:if it is "ceremonial", how come he has the audacity to remove the representative of the KING (Babaloja of Oja Oba), in the King's Market? Has he not gone beyond his bounds, for doing that? Or is he on the same level with the Deji of Akure? Be honest for once please. Lastpage! |
tete7000:Dont compare Apples and Oranges. Both are powerful..... in different spheres. One is the ultimate TRADITIONAL POWER... While the other is the Ultimate POLITICAL POWER in the same state. That is Free Education for you, courtesy of Chief Awolowo. Now, run away before l charge you "ego" Lastpage! |
Alexander001:Yes, he did.... And stop acting "dumb" like you dont know. How do you explain someone who crowned himself a "King", and then goes to depose the annointed (Babaloja of Oja Oba!) deputy of the authentic King, .....installing hi sown choice? Is that not a "CHALLENGE" to the Deji of Akure? Do you know the meaning of "Oja Oba"? (The Kings Market) Why cant you people tell yourself the truth? What is wrong, is wrong! You dont provoke someone with authority, especially if he is your host, and expect no repercussions. These Ibos are taking their imbecility too far lastpage! |
