If Arsene Wenger was to be a "Nigerian Coach", l would bet my two big balls that he has collected "Egunje" from Ozil and Ramsey.... but l am not sure whether it is just "Old Age" that is affecting "Whinging" Wenger now.

Not he first time but l think Arsene Wenger has really lost his managerial sense.
His substitution are very WOEFUL!

Ramsey and Jack Wilshere play similar style and roles and would have been a good substitution for each other

Why would he remove Giroud who is the only person with good "header" and "Holding-off" capability, upfront?

Did anyone notice that he hardly remove Ozil, even when the chaff is playing like he is "fasting"? angry

I was expecting he would remove ramsey and Ozil while strengthening the Team!

Just imagine that he removed Coquelin, the only "strong man" in midfield.


I predict that Swansea will come out stronger and probably score through the midfield,

Arsenal will not score a single game in this game and will be lucky to go out with a draw.

Hi Dominion,

I have 3 questions:

1.) Is this Cheaper than using Blocks/Cement/Sand mixture for "House Wall" Partitioning? Give me a rough idea (10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, e.t.c. Cheaper?)

2.) Does it have the strength? At least to withstand roofing since Pillars would also be around to do the weight-lifting?

3.) Can it reduce "considerably", the overall WEIGHT of the house, if used in the Upper floors as walls?

Thanks & Cheers

Properties › Re: How We Built The "Luxury Block Of Flats" In Enugu by lastpage: 4:12pm On May 11, 2015
Spyder: The landlord of this house is interested in a hitch free tenant/tenant relationship, and that is why he insisted even after we are about to leave the site that we separate the water supply in this house to make every flat own one tank so the control, pumping and sourcing of water will be per each individual flat for one tank.

We have had to start another round of plumbing piping, even peeling off the interlock stones yesterday to re-lay the overhead water supply pipes into the ground. Work is at the completion stages as my plumbers and tilers are all on site retouching the water supply section today. I will attach pictures of our re work yesterday and today.

Everyone can now supply and pump water at their need and pace.

As for your second question, all bathrooms have electric heaters, all except the gate man bathroom.
Tamaris1:
sry to take us back......but this design got me curious...how can this be achieved with 1 sumo pump?.............pls explain it well so i can under stand...........
I did not want to post in this section for a long time, since the last time that Mufutau and his gang decided to ban me, for directly asking "the thread owner" a question (not him)....which he then decided to reply to, "very rudely" and l called his attention to it only for him (or his cronies) to remove my post and then "ban me"!. I know how it works so no biggy. wink undecided

But seeing that a few people keep asking the same question and it appears to me that it is a germaine question and from my own experience, it is something that caused a lot of problems amongst my tenants, l have decided to break my silence for the benefit of the house.

I have a 3-storey building (1,2,3, and ground floor) with 28-flats and the "Water Supply arguments" was a hell of a problem amongst the tenants for some time until l made the following decisions:

Each wing has 14-flats and six big elevated tanks.

1.) I bought a separate Electricity Meter, specifically for Water Pump. Each Wing on each floor has its own "normal Electricity" supply Meter.
2.) Plumbing for each wing's Tanks are completely separated such that if water runs-out in Wing A, it does not affect Wing B. One wing is notorious for wasting or using so much water and they keep alleging that the other wing gets more water than them! . wink
3.) Water is pumped directly from the "Public Supply" into the Tanks , which are arranged serially so that as one filling-up, it flows into the other one nearby .... in each wing.
4.) The Pump/Tank arrangement has the "auto switch" that turns-off the current, when the Tanks are full.
It is placed in the last Tank.... always the last to be full but the last to run dry as well. (using "water-out" plumbing arrangement). So we dont have the kind of run-off disturbance highlighted by Spyder in that picture)
5.) The Money for the "Electricity" of the pumping Machine is contributed by all tenants. It is a fixed amount and it is bought on a Pre-paid card and loaded on the meter. My personal suggestion to them is that Each Flat buys the credit (3,000) on the Meter, one after another, instead of going around asking for contribution since some dont contribute on time or are out.
Rate of "repeat contribution" is based on usage but with the installation of the auto-switch for the current supply, it does not waste anymore.

Before now, someone switches-on the Pumping machine but no one wants to take responsibility to switch it off... hence credit is wasted till it runs out! wink wink . At times, someone from wing A will go and lock the in-flow of wing B because he thinks that will give his own wing more water! angry That thing dey vex some people ehn?
Now, the On and Off is automatic.... based on the level of water in the Tank.
6.) When there is no light (even if they have Credit on the Pumping Machine's meter), they either have to buy water from Hawker Mallams or as l suggested, they can rotate, using their "Petrol Generator", to pump water into their Tanks, for 4 hours at a stretch. (Flat A does it first, followed by flat B, then Flat C, e.t.c. using a prepared and pasted Roster).
They eventually realised it is cheaper that way, than asking mallam to bring water in Jerry cans, to third or second floor! undecided .... and have agreed to my suggestion.

So, there should be no problemo, but the Landlord has to step-in to ensure there is peace in the house before one "angry" Tenant (and lack of water can cause serious anger!) decides to throw his neighbour down from the third floor! grin
No one controls the Pump, No one controls the meter/Electricity, No one controls the closing or opening of any tap/tank, None one dictates to anyone!
Just pay your contribution and enjoy.
Some smart alecs amongst them also have additional storage in their kitchen, for situations where Public water supply is unavailable for days!
I am thinking of sinking a borehole for them (Its in lagos) and should not cost me more than 150- 200K so that they can have water 24/7.

Hope this helps others.

Politics › Re: Aftermath Of Elections: I Hope Patience Would Not Divorce Me - Jonathan by lastpage:
[quote author=Abuja - President Goodluck Jonathan]expressed the fears that his wife might divorce him because of his decision to allow the process of the just concluded election go on to its logical conclusion without interference.[/quote]I always say it that "A WOLF, no matter how much it dresses-Up in Sheep's-Clothing, cannot hide its Fangs"!

Let us take a closer but summarized look at what Jonathan has said:

1.) Jonathan knows his wife and his wife knows him more than ALL OF US.
She and him knows what they have been SAYING, THINKING AND PLANNING BEHIND CLOSED DOORS

So, If you have an "agreement" with your wife and you now change it without consulting her, then she is right to be angry!

Thus, going from what happened, let us ask: What did Jonathan do wrong, that could make Patience want to divorce him?

Answer: he LOST an election..... and like anyone would expect, HE CONCEDED DEFEAT.... though under EXTREME FEAR AND PRESSURE

FEAR: of what the ICC might do to him, as seen in the Gbagbo treatment, if he refused to concede, after LOSING!

PRESSURE: Many African leaders, including President of Ghana, Ivory Coast, e.t.c, Western Leaders like David Cameron of Britain, John Kerry (Sec. of State) of the U.S.A, Hollande of France; Ex-Military Generals like Abdusalami all applied pressure on him and "mandated him" to make that call.
His wife, Patience, was taken to another room because they feared he was so afraid of her that he wont be able to muster the courage to do so, in her presence.

Going by what Ex-President Jonathan has just revealed, we can deduce that "HE has AGREED WITH PATIENCE that they would NOT CONCEDE DEFEAT or HAND OVER IF THEY LOSE TH ELECTION but at the last minute, without consulting her, he actually conceded defeat"!

So, it is now obvious that, like we all have been saying, Jonathan NEVER HAD THE INTENTION TO HAND OVER PEACEFULLY .... but FEAR and PRESSURE made him do so!

It is good that his wife should divorce him because of what use is a man without "BALLS"! grin grin

But Jonathan should not worry, Patience is too greedy to divorce him because she knows she is NOTHING without his support rather, he would simply be DEMOTED from being a common "House Husband" .. to "madam's Driver or Houseboy"! undecided


[quote author=Abuja - President Goodluck Jonathan]When FW De Clerk took the decision to abolish minority rule in RSA, even his wife divorced him. I hope my wife will not divorce me. But that is the only decision that has made RSA to still remain a global player by this time.[/b] If we still had that minority rule there, by this time, nobody will be talking about RSA.

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/05/2015-elections-i-hope-my-wife-will-not-divorce-me-jonathan/[/quote]Again, let us look at this statement by Jonathan!

1.) Apartheid was an EVIL apparatus and condemned by most people in the world. Apartheid was INJUSTICE to Humanity, it was Genocide on black people..... and De Clerk was the HEAD of that Government.

2.) DeClerk had a moral duty to agree to END APARTHEID [/b]and dont forget, he was also under "serious PRESSURE", FROM bOYCOTTS TO BEING TURNED INTO A PARIAH STATE THROUGH ISOLATION. [b]It could not even play in the World Cup!

3.) In Jonathan's case, he was not doing "anything extraordinary"!
He was just doing what is EXPECTED of him, as the loser of the election.
Did we hear the losers of the U.K election asking the world to give them "Nobel Laureate" grin for conceding defeat? Did we hear Sarah Palin of that old, phucked-Up Republican candidate in the U.S asking to be nominated for an award, for conceding defeat to Obama?

Only in Nigeria will such ABSURDITY happen and the shameless Twart will go all over the place asking that we should all HAIL him like Adolf Hitler!

Most Nigerians do not mind the age of the leader so far we get the performance we expect, after all many younger leaders including our PhD president have proved beyond reasonable doubt that being young does not guarantee performance.

Bankole, Farouk Lawan, FFK, Oduah, Diezani, Abba Moro, Ibori, Alams, Kalu and many more younger leaders failed to impress Nigerians. So, why not try the old incorruptible patriotic leaders who have proved in time past that they mean well for the nation?

Let these "old leaders" train some sincere, principled and disciplined younger ones, perhaps the youths will prove they're ready after eight years.

2.) Ensure uninterrupted transportation of Petroleum products, from Depots to filling Stations?

3.) Ensure Nigeria can become a NET EXPORTER of \refined Crude/petroleum products, after satisfying "home needs"?

4.) Revamp our comatose Petro-Chemical Plants so that allied industries can benefit from it?

5.) "Tackle to DEATH", the Petroleum SUBSIDY CABAL and ensure that Nigerians, as citizens of a Petroleum producing nation, buy it at a reasonable price that is different from that of "Net Importers"?

6.) Inplant transparency, rule of law, due-diligence process and procedures in everyday activities of Govt subsidiaries, especially the NNPC and PPMC

7.) Put an end to illegal bunkering of Nigeria's crude Oil

8.) Probe the allocation of "Oil Blocks & Drilling Rights"... and make the process transparent instead of being hijacked by "cabals".

9.) Take a "wholistic look" at the development of the Niger-Delta areas, provide them with water, Roads, jobs and electricity, instead of enriching some useless militants at the expense of the ordinary Niger-Deltan while revoking all "Mafia-like Protection Racket" currently in-place and using the "hammer" on anyone who vandalises Pipelines.

Politics › Re: Nigeria Borrows To Pay Salaries With Cash Crunch Worsening by lastpage: 7:10am On May 08, 2015
Adesiji77:
Abuja (AFP) - A cash shortage caused by low oil prices has forced Nigeria to borrow heavily through the early part of 2015, with the government struggling to pay public workers, officials said Wednesday.

Nigerian finance minister pays importers as city petrol queues grow Reuters
"We have serious challenges. Things have been tough since the beginning of the year and they are likely to remain so till the end of the year," said Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, adding that more than half of this year's borrowing allowance had already been exhausted.

Nigeria, Africa's top economy and largest oil producer, has been hammered by the 50 percent fall in oil prices as crude sales account for more than 70 percent of government revenue.

"As it stands today, most states of the federation have not been able to pay salaries and[b] even the federal government has not paid (April) salary and that is very worrisome,[/b]" said Imo state Governor Rochas Okorocha.

Okonjo-Iweala said the federal government had a projected borrowing allowance for 2015 of 882 billion naira ($4.4 billion, 4 billion euros).

But 473 billion naira had already been used up to meet recurrent expenditures, including salaries of public employees.

"We have front-loaded the borrowing programme to manage the cash crunch in the economy," the minister told reporters.

According to the Central Bank (CBN), Nigeria currently has $29.6 billion in foreign reserves, but analysts said depleting those funds to offset revenue shortfalls could further undermine global confidence in the country's economy.

The CBN issues letters of credit to all domestic firms that import foreign goods, a measure which serves as a guarantee for international companies that have been reluctant to do business in Nigeria, said Jide Akintunde, editor of the Financial Nigeria magazine.

The CBN is expected to maintain reserves covering six months of imports.

"If we do not have the required level of reserves, imports could start to freeze up," Akintunde told AFP.

For Okonjo-Iweala, accelerated borrowing is the easiest strategy to manage the current shortfalls, Akintude said, although with a new government set to take power at the end month, the revenue crunch will soon be someone else's problem.

President-elect Muhammadu Buhari will be sworn in on May 29 and is not expected to retain any of the key ministers appointed by outgoing president Goodluck Jonathan.

Government critics have alleged that Nigeria's revenue crisis was compounded by excessive and wasteful political spending through last month's general elections.


But even when crude was selling above $100 last year Jonathan's administration struggled to build savings, partly because the excess crude account has been repeatedly raided by powerful political actors.



http://news.yahoo.com/nigeria-borrows-pay-salaries-cash-crunch-worsening-102704347.html
See what that devilish, incompetent nitwit called Jonathan has done to our economy!

From $60Billion Foreign Reserve and completely paid Debts that OBJ left in the coffers, this effing Creek Mosquito has even borrowed "ahead" of time, plunging generations yet-unborn, into poverty!

But ofcourse, with the way he was "sharing Dollars" before the election, you will think his father is richer than Alliko Dangote, not knowing he is just a shoeless "born-throway" orphan.

This is the danger of putting poverty-ridden person in position of trust!
He must account for this rape of our treasury and how he came about the Dollars he was sharing! JAIL AWAITS JONATHAN and his co-looters like Deziani Allison Madueke.

So you are telling us that Justin fashanu cannot afford to rent a house of his own even if he does not own one?
Abeeegi, common riff-raffs and immigrants in the U.K get Social Housing of their own, ........talk-less of Justin Fashanu.

Even if he is homeless, Mama Charlie is ready to dash him a house for free, for previous service to the Queen.

megacity:
7 years is way too harsh just for trying to escape. He should have been given like 6 months for trying to escape and another 6 months for the man he beat up. 7yrs! did he commit murder?
In actual fact, the seven years was for "Assault, battery and obtaining by deception", which were the original charges from which he was trying to bolt away.

The "bolting" is just contempt of court and carried about three months.... which is running concurrently with the original 7 years.

When you see your Pastor building Mansions while you are suffering upon contributing "Tithe and Offering", then you should know that he is only PREYING on your foolishness!

Imagine the kind of "big man" this Pastor will be forming, if the Okada man has shelled out the money?
He will say "My Gawd is not a Pouuuurr Goooddeee"..... shocked shocked shocked

I sorry for Magga, walahi!

the pastor na YOLOBA
[quote author= Thread]Prophet Destiny Onwudinjo of Heaven Divine Ministry, Shasha, a suburb of Lagos in western Nigeria, has been sentenced to seven years imprisonment without an option of fine for absconding from court to evade trial.

Presiding Magistrate P.E. Nwaka of Ejigbo Court handed the sentence to Onwudinjo after he pleaded guilty to attempt to escape after he was brought to court for trial.

Prophet Onwudinjo caused a stir at the court recently when he suddenly jumped from the dock and ran out of the court where he was facing criminal charge of fraud and assault.

The prosecutor, Mr Femi Adeleye, and some of the court officials ran after him and re-arrested him along the street of Lagos.

His action disrupted the court’s proceedings as the litigants rushed out of the court due to the rowdiness that ensued.

Prophet Onwudinjo was facing trial in the court after he was arrested by the police at Shasha Division for brutalizing a commercial motorcycle rider called Chika Izuogu for refusing to pay him N120,000 for deliverance prayer.[/quote]
You people have started with your Yoruba-bashing again? Small time now una go dey form "victim" ! undecided undecided

Anyway, seeing the name of everyone involved and the shape of the head of that Okada Rider shows they are all from IBADAN area of Yoloba-land!

Under Buhari's government, whatever that has gone up would come down...

All promotions that were hurriedly packaged would be hurriedly demoted...
All pump prices that have gone up would be brought down...
All those that have victimised their opponents to emerge Tops would be reversed.
I think Buhari should just reverse all these stewpid Promotions, Sacks and Appointment ... that Jonathan has made[b] since March !1th, 2015.[/b]

Just imagine the financial implications alone, of such silly actions?
Is it Jonathan that would be paying it or being accused of not being able to pay?

Same problem we are having now with the Petroleum marketers, when Jonathan made reversals he could not subsidize!

Yes ooo...FCT minister must go to jail.. how can u use 780m for traffic light only?? and y now??
Imagine d yeye traffic light just de cause unnecessary hold up in kubwa

Traffic lights are nOT RUSHED as they are doing right now, it needs to be planned and at times, "surveyed" to get the exact flow of traffic at that junction, from all the "in-flows".

But since they just want to put up something to show #BabaDontSendUsToJail, the result is what you are getting.
