Am surprise at this stupid statement of yours seriously.... Do you have mother? I say this anywhere I am and I will keep saying it any man that rise his hand to hit a woman is at same time hitting his mother, women should be respected, you stated you can't beat a woman to this extent why will you hit a woman at first, most women are annoying that moment they are hot just be cooled, don't say a word once they finish fighting you I bet you they will come back and apologies to you, be a man, don't hit respect women bro.... Whaooooo
And would you say the same thing about any WOMAN that raises her hand to slap a MAN, is is slapping her FATHER?
Or do you think thats just "so cool"?


I think everyone deserves respect, irrespective of what is on their chest or between their legs.

GogobiriLalas:
First there's always a good reason to beat someone, male or female, the cliche 'never hit a woman' is a feminist mantra tailored to emasculate men, the threat of overwhelming force serves to maintain law and order and besides, words can hit as hard as blows and I'm yet to meet a man that can defeat a woman in an insult contest.
Secondly, women lie, it is the coward's imperative, if she can't destroy you with blows, she'll ruin you with lies, subterfuge and deception. Observe this woman for example, she never said what led to the fight, she only showed her battered face and the emotional anguish and moral dilemma she faces by having to disown her brother....without hearing the brother's side of the story a lot of white knights are already condemning him...ask yourself: was she just minding her business and watching super story on Tv when her brother suddenly pounced on her and gave her the beating of her life or did something happen that led to the beating?
Now, this kind of narrative is so sublime and exquisite!

Nothing more to add.....

....except to say "No to Violence".

Tinsel actress Joju Muse, fondly called April, took to her Facebook page today to reveal shocking photos of how she was battered by her younger brother, whom she has now cut ties with. So sad! Sharing the horrifying experience, April wrote;

"I regret this day the 22nd of May 2016. I was brutally assaulted by someone I least expect. I cry out against domestic violence,and I will always do. But how does one handle this? When the culprit is my own blood? Today I cut the tie between us,with no regrets!. I ddnt throw the first punch! But u beat me to a pulp. I suffered a seizure nd am to do head nd chest xray all thnks to u. Am not ashamed of this pic,am only ashamed of d monster uv turned out to be. U were brot up in d way of God. In a good home! I wonder how u turned into an end time beast. I forgive u. But u will never be part of me for this. Sme ppl will say it's nt a social media tin. But domestic violence happens in all forms. Say NO to assault on women! Let's join hands to sanitise our homes and environment. Say NO to all forms of domestic violence! Av a Blessed week."

After people began to console her over the sad incident, she added,

"Thanks guys. My EX kid bro was d actor in d whole movie. It can only get better. At the end of the day. All man for himself."

Just wondering how you got to the point where your own JUNIOR Brother will beat you up (was it a 'beating' or a FIGHT between two weed-smoking adults?), like this?

If the arguments gets too heated, why dont you just walk-away from him (knowing that you cant win physical fight with him, being stronger) .... and avoid this sort of public embarrassment?

At times, walking-away from dangerous situations does not mean you are WEAK.... it just shows you are INTELLIGENT.
The Cliché "He STOOPED,... to CONQUER", comes to mind.

...and dont start this "Domestic Violence" nonsense, on this one!

Politics › Re: MEND breaks silence, tackles ‘Niger Delta Avengers’ - Premium Times by lastpage: 1:38am On May 23, 2016
ShowYourCertificate:
It's actually Amaechi's handwork. This present MEND is loyal to Amaechi. They were the thugs he used during the Rivers elections. He also used them to make a statement against Jonathan during the presidency electioneering period.

The present MEND has been politicised. They no long talk about full resource control and true FISCAL federalism. They have lost touch with the Niger Delta struggle and no longer command followership as before. NDA is the new group that is fast gaining popularity in the creeks. They (NDA) now speak for the Niger Delta people.
yea, "if it does not favor or do what you want, just label it as "work of enemies".
Very easy-way-out.


meanwhile,

MEND: “Their (Niger Delta Avengers) sudden emergence has absolutely nothing to do with the Niger Delta struggle but rather a tool by certain elements to destabilise the current government,” MEND said.

It said going by the group’s actions and subsequent statements, it was apparent who the sponsors of the recent attackers were.


MEND also said the Niger Delta region shall not be part of a secessionist Biafran State.

“Rather, the group believes in one strong united Nigerian federation where the principles and ideals of Resource Control; True Federalism; Rule of Law/Respect for Human Rights; Democracy; Free Enterprise and a Vibrant Civil Society are well entrenched in the grundnorm and put to practice,”it said

However, MEND said it remained opposed to the “fraudulent and unsustainable Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) headed by Brigadier General Paul Boroh (rtd) which still runs on the corrupt bureaucratic and operational template of the past administration”.

“We have always made it very clear that unless the root issues which gave birth to the agitations in the Niger Delta region are addressed, in the form of a sincere dialogue, this programme will only continue to remain a mere cesspool of corruption,” the group said.
Words in MARBLE!

The next step is for MEND to whistle on these Criminals to the Security Forces.

They want to use the ND as a theatre of military operations, knowing it will set the ND back another 3oyrs minimum.

gbadexy:
RIP to the dead.
This type of accident is inevitable. I witnessed it first hand on my way back from the east yesterday with incidentally peace mass transit.
It's the norm for the vehicles to crossover from a bad stretch of road to opposite side and drive at full speed irrespective of transport company or vehicle type. I experienced it with another transport company I came with.
The vehicles speed opposite each other in a road meant for a certain direction and some still try to overtake vehicles by driving at the exact position an oncoming vehicle is, hoping to completely overtake the vehicle in front before it comes in contact with the oncoming one.
All I see is unnecessary risks.
The government too needs to make the highways safe and motorable.
from the Report, it appears that the Peace mass transit was on his lane while it was the yellow truch that was trying to overtake another vehicle, thereby facing the Peace Mass T...... and on an already narrowed Road, the "Peace" Bus might not even have anywhere to "dive" to, to avoid the oncoming truck.

Am l wrong?

RIP to the dead but the way we waste innocent souls in this country, it seems life death has become cheaper than SACHET WATER?

You see, if I were to defend the granite dust, I would say that the granite dust tend to be somewhat reactive with the cement paste in the sense that it delays the hydration of the cement. Under normal circumstances, only cement ought to be reactive but, we are sometimes faced with situations where the aggregate might be reactive as I'm attributing to granite dust in this very instance. And because of this delayed hydration, the intended strength of granite dust couldn't be gotten at the 7-day period but, MAYBE overtime it would achieve it's desired strength, just maybe. Until I one day undergo a repeat of this test in future (using a 28-day period ), I'll always say granite dust is far inferior to sharp sand... & I don't think the strength tested in the lab has anything to do with the curing. I, myself, am particularly interested in the cause of the discrepancies as much as you do thus, I would find a way to conduct the test for a 28-day period.... I just hope they allow me.
That would be great!
Research-based education brings about unquantifiable development.

In the course of my own build, we noticed that we had to use even more water as the Stone dust seems to consume/swallow the water and it dries up very quickly.

Now, l am thinking, "all things being equal", if you use the same amount of water in the tow mixes (Sharp sand ...and Stone dust), the Sharp sand will likely come out stronger because the Stone Dust appears to be "starved of water" and like if you starve a sharp Sand mix of water, it will definitely not attain maximum strength.
This is just a "postulation" of mine as l dont have "accurate, scientific data" to back it up, having not done any controlled experiment, as you have done.

Please keep it at it as you would be contributing something meaningful to the industry.
Just do it as a "further project" or if you are in your 1st degree finals, enrol for "higher degrees" and pursue it further on a larger scale, with more time to spare.

After a 7-day period (because 28-day period was too lengthy since I needed to submit a report within two weeks). Look at the mix ratio used.... it is a strong mix ratio.
Is there a possibility that the two mixes have different "curing rate" ...and we need to see the results for the standard 28days.
If you can create time, it will be god to take the research further, for completeness


I am interested in these tests because l am a big fan of Stone Dust (did a four flats, one storey build recently that l did not use Sharp sand at all.... all concrete works were a mixture of Granite, Stone dust, adequate Cement and TAP Water ..... and the result was awesome, though the cost was prohibitive).

Abdulwastexc, permit me to reproduce this post of yours:

Abdulwastecx: we have the so called Professionals, such as architect, civil engineer, quantity surveyor etc (with minimum of 5 years university education . These people are trained to solve problem from conceptual stage, they need lots of theoretical knowledge than practical know how. It is a fact that they need about 75% theory to 25% practical.
for building construction, they conceive the design (the architect), they make it work by using mathematics, economics and understanding of materials properties (civil eng) that "your baba lati" cannot use, they estimate the cost of construction (QS).

Next in line are technicians' these are well trained personnel with 50/50% knowledge in theory and practical. they are trained to know enough in other to translate professionals designs into reality. The theory they know is for them to be able to understand professionals design and the practical they know is to be able to explain these design to the artisans'. A civil engineer, architect, surveyor with HND or OND are technicians.

We have the artisans; These are the people that do the actual work, these are the mason, brick layer, carpenters, painter, roofer, plumber, electricians etc. These men work based on instruction passed down by the technicians, they are employed not to think or design but to perform task specify by those above. they need all the practical of this world and little theory to understand technical drawings and language.

Note: there are overlaps due to several years of working an artisan may become a technicians, but it is very unlikely for either artisan or technician to become a professional without more formal education.
I hope all these hald-educated illiterates on nairaland can understand Pythagoras theorem and apply it to their "trial-by-error" builds!
Instead of blaming carpenter 'who though has "experience", is not educationally trained to "THINK or DESIGN"!

When I see quotes like this I usually think they are misguided cos I prefer to put my best leg forward.
It is not to say that people without formal education will never do well but to say which is likely to give better prospect.

Also experience is very important such that the comparative should always be education and experience versus just experience alone.



In the world that we live in, a black man or woman always has more to prove to get the same recognition than a white counterpart.

Of the US presidents how many are college educated versus not college educated. The emphasis should be on the norm not the exceptions.

.
God bless you Madam.

First, l never "condemn" people without education.
What l said was that "Work Experience" can NEVER replace "Formal Education".
They both have their place in life but like you pointed out, an educated person will eventually gain the "experience" on the job but l cant fathom how an illiterate who refuses to go to school, will acquire a first degree! grin grin

Due to truancy and/or the circumstances of life, we all cant have top-notch education but l would rather educate my own children to a minimum of a first degree (I have one who is almost finishing Medical School overseas), than build houses for them or spoil them with Money.
I am surprised that these people keep twisting my 'position' and focusing on my person?

One went about insulting "Educated/Certificated people and claiming they are not employed or "who education don help"? shocked huh huh
I responded that "before you can even table your experience in a Trade, you have to show your CERTIFICATE (no matter how lowly) that shows you have the "basic, pre-requisite education".
I used the example of Cleaners, Security Men, Hotel Hands, e.t.c to buttress my point. This people must sit and study to have a "SafePass Certificate".... in western Countries, before they can do any of the above menial jobs

In a world of over 7Billion people, how can a minuscule hundred, be used as proof that "Education does not matter or that "Work experience" can replace education?
Is this a kind of "age-related jaundice" of the brain or what
huh

The girl whose picture was posted might just "pass through school" without allowing her "education/school" to pass through her (but l dont want to knock her because l dont know her circumstances to the detail).
I know that even if you read Yoruba or English and you are sound enough to graduate with 2^1 (as opposed to most children of today who cheat through school and come out with the Certificate but they are actually empty-headed) ... you wont need to carry a placard to earn a living:
what is wrong with starting a "neighbourhood lesson" where you teach younger ones and their parent pay you?
I have engaged a lot of under-graduates who come to my house to teach my children, when they were very young and they make good money, hopping from one "home lesson" to another, abi l lie?
So, how did she end-up with placard, if she is good at what she studied?
That is where l think "half-education" comes into play. If hse is soundly educated, her mind and brain will propose better options to her than this undignified shame she is putting herself through

Again, l find it funny that these illiterates will only use a 'bad example" like this to buttress their failure and inadequacy!

What about the hundred of thousands of graduates that work in Shell, Mobil, NNPC, Banks, NLNG, Doctors, e.t.c whose starting salary as a trainee is not less than 200K monthly?
How many 2^1 Graduates roam the street in US, UK and other Western climes?
Just because Nigeria is ruled by the same class of half-baked ....and stark illiterates like we have foaming in the mouth here, is why some of our Graduates are having it rough but it is not the norm.

I have asked that they show me just One Bridge that was "designed and built" by anyone without education, they cant but instead went on a tangential rant!
Infact,l cant believe that in 2016, someone will openly say that "Education does not help"?

Anyway, on reflection, l realize that the only people who always tow this line of thinking are either stark illiterates or people with "failed/half education (which they say is even more dangerous! grin )

It is sad that even supposedly grown-ups cant differentiate between "having money" and "being educated" and having "work experience".
The are not the same thing and are not mutually exclusive but the better person, by a mile-off, is "he who is well educated and made money legitimately from it and gained 'work experience' over ...and with their education".

Any fool can have money at anytime (you can even win a lottery! ) ... but it takes time, diligence and dedication to have quality education.
And if you are well-educated, it will show in EVERYTHING you do or say. You cant hide it.
You will even be a cut above the crowd if you now add "experience" to your education.

For example, l work with personnel who have spent +30yrs in the military, who will never rise beyond "Warrant officer 2" till they are honourably discharged (retire).... while a young boy of less than twenty-two years who has a BSc. joins the military as Second Lieutenant!
Is it not his "certificated education" that propelled him over and above the "uneducated one with decades of experience"?
Why did the one with 30+ years "Experience" not come and claim "l sabi pass am"? grin grin

Why have we not have a school cert with fifty years experience, become the Head of NNPC?
How many of these dunce foaming in the mouth here will allow a "Chemist" with ten years "shop-trade" experience perform a surgery on you or your spouse, in case of serious illness?
why would they insist on a well rounded, University trained and qualified Doctor
grin grin

How can these guys not get it that "education" does more than just provide a "job-path-way" for people?.... it develops you mentally, it broadens your horizon and make your brain think and work in ways that are "beyond limitations".

Honestly, l just laugh at the idiocy of this argument. grin

But everyone will agree with me that in "sane societies", you wont even have the OPPROTUNITY to show your experience, if you dont have the REQUISITE, BASIC LEVEL OF "CERTIFICATED EDUCATION".

The "certificate" allows you to show that you have gone through the training/education (since the Requester/Client/Interviewer wont be there when you were undergoing the "education"wink, AFTER which you can/will be given the opportunity to SHOWCASE your EXPERIENCE.

If it were me, l would use A Power Drill to make/drill holes in the Aluminium part of the Solar Panels and use Aluminium Screws to bolt the whatever l need to "nail" to it, after plugging plastic holders into it.

The beams you see are 22 feet (we bought 6 20-foot beams and cut the 6th into pieces to weld unto the other 5 and for the legs). 150mm wide. My records shows we paid #15.5k per beam in Delta State (includes transport). Labour to cut, weld, and paint the beams was extra.
Thank you for your response.

Would you be aware of the "thickness" (not Width/wideness! ) of the beam?
I am referring to its "thickness", if you hold a 'flat side' of it with your "thumb and fore finger"!


Tnx.

Preparing the H-beams that will support the panels. Each of the 5 beams is supported by 6" legs that will be put into the hollow blocks. Then we pour cement mix into these holes to hold the beams solidly. The beams are all angled 5 degrees from the front of the building to the back, which aids in water runoff.
Please what is the dimension of this H-BEAMS (length & thickness) and how much do they COST?

Tnx.

white ppl don't even care about your paper. The service you are rendering is their concern. God can bless anyone with natural intelligence be it baba mufu, engineer lagbaja, baba lati, baba Abdul etc.
Honestly, l have been trying not to "comment" on this area of discussion for some days because l get riled when l hear people with sub-par level of education, use this line of argument, to console themselves!

I can tell you authoritatively that for every little thing you want to do "Abroad", you have to be certified!

Even ordinary street cleaner has to do some "Safe Pass" or Training and get issued with a certificate of "training completion", before he or she can sweep that street.
Ditto for al menial jobs, like window-cleaning, Security-Gate-man, bus driver, e.t.c

You wont even get the opportunity (They wont even consider you) to show-case how good you are at "laying blocks" if you dont have a Builder's certificate and training.
First, they would ask to see your "Certificate",ONLY after which ......you can now prove your COMPETENCY in the "practicals"

Sebi you said you can drive \construction equipment, right? Did you go for any "formal training" that involves Pen and Paper? Do you have a Certificate to brandish for such training?
If not, be you the best operator in the world, you cant even go near a Construction equipment in the "Oyinbo Kontiri".

Its only in Africa, especially in Nigeria that "Artisans' compare themselves with trained and well-educated Professional!
They are aeons apart, believe me.

Script playing.

Yesterday, 2yrs back she was to sit for WASC exam, now though she seem to have lost every memory of her English language classes-the language of WASC in this part of Africa.

The forest she was found in had experienced severe bombardment since over a year now and yet a family still lived peaceful in there and even bore a child and yet the Army claim to have successfully flushed out every remnant of Book Haram militants.

The same successful dollar bankrolled Army did not find her but local vigilant group found her, so the remaining Chibok girls will not be found on military strength of our Army.


Maybe we should simply fund vigilant groups to find the remaining girls.

As a person, I have no confidence in this government and there story smells of lies and deceit common in our days.

Time will tell. Sooner or later the truth shall surface.
FOOLS EVERYWHERE!

Eehn! So you dont even know whether the story is True or False.............. yet you spewed all those rubbish up there?
And even got 58 likes from 'equally bigger fools'?

Hmmm... Fools EVERYWHERE!

I was also waiting for the part he was going to clearly say that he did not assault her.

Why did the policewoman even call him that night to come? Who reported who?

Honestly, the story doesn't add up.... I am a guy but I am not just gonna close my eyes and pretend the story is on point.

Finally, guy I think you got yourself messed up with the wrong gal.

She looks .....
I am alarmed at the Stewpidity of MOST Men!

It is okay for a Lady/Female to defend another Lady, whether she is right or wrong .... but what l dont get is when all these foolish Boys rise-up to defend a Lady, not because she is in the RIGHT, but because she is a FEMALE, that's all!

First, you all read his response and did you see ANYWHERE where he said he assaulted her?
But you are al quick to say HE DID, right?

Again, When the Lady reported to the Police and broke her story on Social Media, did you hear, anywhere in her story where she said she was DRUNK, DAMAGED HIS PROPERTY, FOUGHT HIM and DEMANDED FOR 50,000 Naira?

The moral of the story is that, Take every story at "face-value" and base your Position on HARD FACTS/EVIDENCE Presented.
That is How Judges operate in a Law Court.


Too many "she-Men, woman-wrapper" Boys parading themselves as "men", these days! angry angry angry

Let all of these politicians use Nigerian hospitals so that they can see for themselves how truly useless they are.
Are you surprised that you NEVER hear of them being sick of a serious ailment or going abroad for Medicals, ...UNTIL THEY ARE CAUGHT AND CHARGED TO COURT?


If the poor man's whose wealth was looted does not have the opportunity to go abroad for Medicals, then these Looters should not be afforded same opportunity.

If Government officials want Good Medical Treatment and facilities, let them stop looting money meant for Medical infrastructures. Period!

Haaahahaha!

I knew it was going to get to this!


Standard Procedures:

1.) Loot the Treasury

2.) If you are not caught under a corrupt regime, flaunt your wealth and run your mouth

3.) If you get arrested by EFCC, cry Witch-hunting and ask for IPOD support

4.) If that dont work, employ the services of 200 Senior Advocate LAWYERS LIARS, share the loot with them to frustrate the case

5.) If EFCC never collect Bribe, they will clamp you in detention until you receive sense and return our YAM

6.) if that still the not work, start PRETENDING you have CANCER and need to "run-away" to a foreign country for Check-Up

7.) Hide there and NEVER comeback until another corrupt President assumes office, since extradiction will take decades, using corrupt Lawyers...



*What number is Olisah Metuh now...?

*What number is FFK on, as of today

*What number is Dasuki on?

*What number is Alex Badeh and the rest of the military rogues on?

*As for "Chairman", im own matter pass all the above! TREASON nor be Beans walahi!
