PoshBoss007: This "Govt of Integrity" borrows money from China, use our land and Mineral Resources as Collateral and then loots 99% of the borrowed funds, goes back to borrow even more. This is what the Govt of Zero Corruption has become, within five years! 2 Likes |

unikwa: Nigerians generally, are too basic in mentality, to work together for a united, positive purposes! They would rather vote on tribal lines, (Ipob Vs. Afonja Vs. Herdsmen), on Religion (MURIC Vs. CAN) or on the Highest Bidder (Sachet of Chelsea Vs. #1,000). 1 Like |

Focusmind: WITH REFRENCE TO THE BOLDED. I do agree with your wife on the bolded. Visitors should NEVER pass through the kitchen, to access their rooms. I understand that you have 'old age' in mind but please, consider your immediate safety and security first and foremost. It is someone who is alive TODAY, that can plan for TOMORROW or old Age. There are places visitors should never have access to in one's house: Your Master-Bedroom and Your Kitchen because those two places are your weakest point, either for what is most personal to you (documents, monetary valuables, even your wife! ) and where you make your food. Not all Visitors will have good intentions for you and if they have to walk through the Kitchen to access their room, you have given them the right to "drop some poison" in your family food! As a matter of fact, Visitors are never allowed in the Kitchen, if they want food, you prepare and give them (except where they have a self-contained area). Remember, the most difficult ailement to cure is that caused by the food we put into our own mouth. God forbid if one of those "na my family Village people" come to visit their son who just arrived from America and they see where you are living and one of them is like: His father did x,y,z to me in 1913 and decides its time for payback! E don red be that. I am speaking from 'non-personal' experience. Please, quikly re-arrange the entrance to the visitors room so it does not pass through the kitchen, when the time comes, you can open it up again to link the kitchen, it wont cost you much money or effort but righ tnow, it is not a priority, at least not over your family's safety. Well done. 6 Likes 1 Share |

diordaves: The size and shape of the bathroom also plays a significant role. If it is square in shape, the shower can be at the opposite corner of the Basin or the Basin and the WC can be opposite each other while the Shower is at the other end of the two of them. |

Focusmind: Well, you are the man for a reason, to consult her widely with your spouse but to take the final decision, in the best interest of the family. But l also know that the westernised women are not easy to convince, talk-less of control to do something she does not want, even if it is for her own good. so you have a battle on your hands. Try and show her the disadvantages of such elevation, for example, ask her how she would feel, if one of your children tripped over it while carrying some dishes after food, hit his/her head against a sharp edge of the step down stairs (God forbid) and died? I have seen people, women especially, die from tripping, slipping and falling in the bath-tub, despite the husband saying l dont want a bath-tubs in the bath, because of the danger of slipping!. Ask her how she will feel, make it very graphic so she can imagine it in her head. And finally, add that you will hold her responsible forever , if she insists on having it and an accident happens. Let it sink-in. We should not just copy what others are doing, just because they are doing it. A house with children cannot be designed exactly the same with a house where only young guys are living or where all the children are adults. Moreover, since this is a personal house, most people dont consider their "old age", when they design their houses. Some old people are sleeping in the guest room downstairs now, because they placed all the master bedrooms upstairs and now that they are in their eighties, they are too old and weak to be going up and down the stairs, each time they want to navigate between kitchen and bedroom. Same thing with this issue of elevated dinning area. Time will come when no one will even be eating from that spot, it will be between small side table and the Soffa. I hope you will be able to convince her as l can already sense that its a challenge. 7 Likes 1 Share |

megacontrol: You hit the nail on the head! Its very easy to say "I charge #3,500 for 8ft x 2ft and it is cheaper by 60% without backing it up with statistics". What he should have done is a comparative analysis of the form of: a.) one 12ft x 1ft board costs say #1,000 (therefore an 8ft x 1ft of it will cost #700) b.) therefore an 8ft x 2ft of it will cost #1,400 and a pair will cost #2,800. Let us add additonal #500 for Nails and batons (just for the 8ft x 2ft only), making a total of #3,300. So, a pair of this iron formwork costs #3,500 A pair of the same size using wood costs #3,300. How is #3,500 cheaper by 60%, when compared to #3,300? Which kind of Mathematics invented that figure? 60% cheaper, of 3,500 means the wooden option should cost #5,600........ whic is not true as l have shown above. From the simple calculation above, we can conclude that it is NOT CHEAPER AT ALL. It is actually costlier. But it has its own advantages in terms of speed of erection, neatness, e.t.c. What the proponent of the idea needs to do (l dont think l am saying something ee does not know already but "excessive profiteering built on minimum turnover" seems to be our way of doing business (business model) around here while over there, it is "moderate profiteering built on massive turnovers" ) is to recondier his pricing model. He may get three people using his product in one month at the current price or he may get thirty people using his product in one month, at a much lower price. Which model brings in more profit? Though, which model he prefers, is up to him. Nuff said. Lastpage! 2 Likes |

ItsMeAboki: Stop asking silly "aboki-type" questions! OBJ was President for 8yrs and he earned salary, allowances, Estacodes as the most travelled President, he earned 'patronages', he got kickbacks on TransCorp and other Privitisation projects (with hell Rufai) like NEPA, NICON, Power Plants, e.t.c You think it is just those '150 cows in Daura' that is producing all the money that Buhari and his family are spending or where did Buhari's osn get the over #40Million to buy those two PowerBikes? Certainly, Buhari and OBJ are corrupt and Buhari should probe OBJ now, because when the time for his own probes comes, we will ask him, just like we asked GEJ, why he could not probe OBJ. |

doctokwus: Most people like you from the East, who supported Jonathan and lost, dont like Buhari and dont want him to get a second term. But at at the same time, you are also tribal bigots who dont like OBJ, because he is a Yoruba man and was instrumental to the fall of Jonathan, in 2015. Now that Buhari and OBJ have finally fallen out, you are at crossroads on who to support. But l tell you one thing: You will end up voting for Buhari (most Igbos in that category ) and he will cruise to a second term! What does that translate to, for you: More herdsmen killings, more Nepotism and marginalisation, possible another Phyton Dance II, e.t.c You see why l think Buhari is smarter than you give him credit for? BTW: What is stoping Buhari from probing OBJ, using the EFCC and DSS or is he just afraid of Baba Iyabo? I dont like incumbent Presidents cry-crying like babies, on matters they have the Power to resolve. P robe OBJ and jail him if you can. He has dared you, Buhari. |

EgunMogaji: AngelicBeing: diordaves: Thanks to everyone for the complement! Nothing, is as good as being-missed, when you are not around, .....especially when it is for good. People felt uncomfortable with my post back then and met the Mod behind camera, Nigerian-style ....and the result was a very long, lengthy ban. It was good for me though. Since my presence on Nairaland was to relax my nerves, l felt it was time to control the seeming addiction, just pop-in as a guest, from time to time and read the good stuffs you guys are churning out. No more fiesty-cuffs of any sort. It is also gratiating when l hear some say other people write like me (at least l have counted about six handles like such, who can conviniently claim to be me, in terms of writing style). The 'Ministry' must be growing. But l still remain the "crayola-champion", all others are mere, pedestrian imitations. It took alot of will-power for me to log-in and write this as l have kept away since the ban elapsed and wish to continue to do so. Do have a blessed day, everyone.

hoyo: Hmm! Nairaland Contractor again! Infact, l had to physically restrain myself from responding to that post because l have decided that its not worth the effort, attending to Nairaland contractual issues anymore! Just imagine all the endless "assumptions, may-be's" in that response! ....... and to think it was coming from a third-party? Trusting a Nairaland Contractor 100%, based on what "someone said" is dangerous and should be taken with a pinch of salt because l have come to realize that people pass these "vote of confidence" for all sort of reasons, some personal and some have even made it a "habit" of passing this vote of confidence on every Tom, Dike and Hillary because it also makes their own way "smooth" (l did not say any other thing o!) when it comes to their own jobs. Every Client needs to "act like" you are dealing with an "untrustworthy charlatan", from day one,.... and ensure that the contract is "tight enough" such that if the Contractor starts acting funny, he lands himself in the Cell, No long story. On the other hand, if he plays by the "contract rules", pay him his due and every one is happy, I was wondering, why did he reverse himself to the originally agreed price, (after requesting for more money so he can use mechanised drill) ... if that is not a red flag? BTW: Anyone/Everyone that wants to/works for me, knows that l pay three times 30%, 30%, 40% on work completion. Take it or leave it but they also know that before l hand out a project, the total sum payable is just an ATM or Online transfer away. The reason they cant use their own money to start a project (so the Client see it on-going and then pays them for job done) is because most of them dont even hope to complete the job! They just want to get "advance fee" here and there and then begin to pressure the Client for more...after which they would either try to swindle the customer or abandon the job. I feel for this Client. Lastpage! 1 Like |

CellTabRepairs: Working for Buhari~! Buhari "selected" Osinbajo, to be his running mate...... Osinbajo was not elected by Nigerians or the party. Deputies/Vice Anything, are at the behest of their "Principal Officer" (Governors, Presidents, e.t.c) Stewpid Deputies that want to be more powerful than their Principal, always end-up ridiculed I also recall that the Governor of Lagos, removed his deputy then, one woman like that. Another example is Atiku, when he was OBJ's deputy and then tried to play smart. OBJ dealt with him and made him irrelevant, till today. Also, Osinbajo cannot do anything, take any policy direction or even implement anything without consulting the President ans getting his go-ahead. The good thing is that Osinbajo is not over-ambitious and knows he is a "Vice" cum Acting President and Buhari in turn, trusts him a lot, to have handed Power over to him OFFICIALLY! All these mischievous noise we are hearing are just the handiwork of those children of hate and Anger a.k.a LiePODS! Lastpage! 1 Like |
