There are off course numerous differences existing between ECO Block, Red Bricks (Clay Bricks) and Cement Block because of which ECO Block are now the preferred choice for construction. As a reliable ECO Block it is the sure and the best way to secure your property and build a lasting a friendly house or home. This the reason engineers are always asking for such from us.

Some of the major differences that exist between the two are listed below.

Lighter and Larger in size

ECO Block are almost a whopping 70 percent less in weight in comparison to the red bricks and are more in size. This means less use of cement for binding and more saving. This also translates into a stronger building.

Increased strength

Safety is given prime importance while constructing any building. An ECO Block not only possess more compressive strength i.e. 35-40 kg per square cm in comparison to 25-30 kg per square cm, but it can also offer resistance to fire for 3 to 6 long hours. A red brick can at most resist fire for only two hours.

Energy saver

Using ECO Block can reduce energy consumption by 32 percent as its thermal conductivity is poorer in contrast to red bricks. This means it will not allow warm air during summers and cool air during winter to a building and thus offer thermal insulation.

Lighter in weight

ECO Block are lighter in weight and this means easy transportation and that too at reduced cost. Lighter in weight than red bricks, makes ECO Block resistant to earthquakes.

Apart from the above mentioned differences, there are also many other like less wet density, thermal heat absorption in ECO Block in comparison to a red brick.

Sire, I would like to communicate with you outside nairaland. Please, can I mail you?

Duru1:
You are very delusional and silly. If Yari.ba has the assumed power as you would want us to believe, it would have incorporated Kwara State as Yari.ba. You are a laughable stock.

Amarabae:
What's wrong with the OP's post?
It calls for intelligent contribution and not insults.
South east is bigger than Rwanda, Israel, Gambia, Singapore, Luxembourg etc so why the noise on landmass.
Is Lagos not the smallest state in Nigeria yet contains over 20million people?
Why are big landmass states like Niger zamfara etc poor?
So shut up.

The commercial city of Aba in Abia State used to be famous for the ingenuity of the locals. They copied and produced all manners of products. In fact, any product that was not made abroad was popularly referred to as Made in Aba or Aba made. Those were the days when the city was groovy.

Today, Aba, which used to be the economic capital of the South-East, is a failed city. Or so it seems. All the indices are manifest in the content and character of the city.

https://ynaija.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/aba-abia-captured-aug-12-vangua-670x375.jpg

The moment you step into Aba, you will notice that the city is sick, terribly sick. The vibrancy and zest have been replaced by gloom and frustration because the city has fallen apart. Living in Aba is, indeed, a nightmare. To be condemned to reside there is living in bondage, it is living in a state of perpetual suffering. It presents a pathetic picture that can melt even a stony heart. You would not like to be in Aba when it rains. When the heavens open, the tears, pains and anguish of Aba residents flow like a river. When it rains, Aba becomes a floating city because their drainages are blocked where they exist.

To start with, it is often difficult to find a cab that will take you from Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport, Owerri, Imo State. The reason is not far fetched. A trip to Aba can take anything from five hours for a distance of far less than 100 kilometres. So, only the brave driver can embark on such a trip and the passenger must be ready to cough out about half of the air fair from Lagos to Owerri.

Coming to Aba from Owerri, you will begin to understand why airport taxi drivers avoid Aba like a flea when you get to KM 7 Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway. There, vehicles are easily buried in the gullies on both sides. When a trailer is trapped in there, commuters can be stuck there for several hours. On such occasions, some passengers alight from their vehicles and cross over to the other side and board another vehicle. But it is not usually as easy as that. The depth of the mud on the road is such that if you step out of the vehicle, it will swallow your shoes. So, before stepping out to trek, you must remove your shoes and fold your trousers to knee length. https://ynaija.com/aba-a-gallery-of-decay-see-disappointing-photos/

Dr Femi Kuti

https://www.kangpe.com/

Kangpe now operates in Ghana and Kenya as well, potentially serving a combined population of roughly 245 million people at the moment. According to Kuti, the startup has so far on-boarded 60,000 users.

Of course, it’s not the first to come up with the idea. Those in the U.S. can access similar remote physician platforms like Doctor on Demand or the text-based First Opinion for a medical question. There’s also MedAfrica in Kenya, Matibabu in Uganda and Hello Doctor, which currently operates in about 10 African countries.

However, with the fast-paced adoption of new technology and growth trajectory of several African nations, the field is still pretty wide for pulling in potential customers.

Kuti also points out the platforms working in the U.S. don’t exactly translate to care in Africa. “Google doesn’t know about African disease,” he says.

Kangpe has already sparked some social interest and has forged a partnership with Facebook as the top service on Facebook’s Free Basics program for Nigeria. https://techcrunch.com/2017/03/17/kangpe-is-a-mobile-service-connecting-africa-to-healthcare/

What a pity! In a country where people are committing suicide rampantly due to hunger. A minister is bold saying he just wasted #700M.

Ooni:
pls stop digressing. If he has concerns over what we call cities let him express them freely without bullying. I dont know why we prefer hiding our problem to solving them.

“Our goal is not only to empower young people to be environmentally aware and to adopt green practices but to also become social change makers in their various communities.” - Adenike Akinsemolu, Founder _{http://www.greeninstitute.ng/about/green-glance/}

According to Oluwatomi Solanke , Co Founder of DropBuddies, “African cities are hard to navigate, paved roads are few and addresses are difficult to resolve and we solve this issues by leveraging on tools such as maps, artificial intelligence & algorithms to understand and manage routing of packages more effectively.”

“Also, business owners can use our technology to get customers pretty much anything from flowers to invitations down to bulky items such as furniture. We also have an API that integrates the products workflow directly into each merchant’s checkout process.We employ a revenue sharing model as our DropBuddies earn 80% of the delivery fee.”http://innovation-village.com/introducing-dropbuddies-peer-peer-package-delivery-service/

which Kano? Kogi east has the same land mass as the east. 40000sqkm

intruxive:
True, thats the future ambition of every growing igbo child in the east, to move to lagos and hustle then years later come back with a car to oppress thier kins men

Bia OP leave yorubas alone. Its time ndigbo just focus and deal with our useless leaders that are willing to sacrifice our blood for one Nigeria. Lets fix our house first. All is not well at home.

AnambraDota:
Shittting inside nylon is the trademark of yoruba women. They are mostly dark, fat and speak in hoarse voice which depicts masculinity. Those fat yoruba women like Iya Dotun and Iya Monsuru that sell ewa agoyin and guguru sometimes shiiit inside painter bucket if nylon is not within reach.
They will give the poo to their grandchildren to go and dispose inside gutter or Ogunpa river.

intruxive:
Abi o!
They are just mad at how everything seems to be working out well for other regions in the country except theirs...... so they feel if they condemn others they will feel better

AnambraDota:
I have a degree in urban and regional planning so I have so much interest in habitation. Lagos is a confirmed slum forget the facade of center of excellence.
Most yoruba cities are not well planned like Benin City, Owerri and Aba.

Yoruba cities just grew like Nnewi,just that Nnewi have modern houses and robust middle class.

AnambraDota:
Even on Google map Ibadan is not well planned. Ibadan is a glorified slum, most of the people are laid back and lazy. Their buildings have one toilet per 100 people and their fat mothers shiiit inside nylon bags and throw inside Ogunpa river

QueenSekxy:
your reasoning mentality is a big disgrace to homo erectus!!

AnambraDota:
I waz not raised in Lagos, I grew up in East but I did IT in Lagos.
Are you a slum dweller?

intruxive:
Please ignore thread. Op is suffering from acute inferiority complex brought about because she grew up in a lagos slum with no ventilation due to overcrowding of unwanted immigrants from the south east

QueenSekxy:
oh atleast you believe that Lagos is a slum

Alexus23:
Motherfucker, just don't ever fuvcking mention me again. Whats your problem man? Are you fuvcking gay fuvck off and hook up with your brand nigur, I ain't your type. You disgust me man

AnambraDota:
So whenever yorubas brag how big their cities are just don't get intimidated I have been to their 3 major cities, call me I will show them.

Living in conglomeration of slums that merged over the years does not mean your city is big, you waste resources.

lol....One thing about Igbos is the delusion that has characterized their lives from time immemorial.I remember reading that Ojukwu said that he had the best army inAfrica during the civil war but it was all delusion.Igbos said they control the economy of Nigeria but it was later found out that they are parasites.Igbos said they control Technology,it was later found out that Yorubas control almost 70% of ICT.Igbos said they are the most industrious and they commenced a thread calling out Yorubas to compete with them and at the end it was discoveredthat they do/did not have up to 7% of the industries in Lagos where they said they control andit occurred to everybody that Yorubas control the economy of Lagos and Nigeria with their massive industries even they have more than the Igbos fourfold abroad.This is the thread.https://www.nairaland.com/3918290/yorubas-most-industriousrichest-educated-tribe
