Since his replacement is still in school. There could be an arrangement that he should cover for the new cso till he come out of school.

Cso position is very sensitive and can't be left vacant like that of the spokesperson

Some transfers are not immediate. I believe the NIPSS course ends in November.

Thank you.

I have had this same experience of peppery food from eateries and some guesthouses recently.

Across Nigeria.

You can't taste the food because of the amount of pepper in it. One time, I was weeping as I struggled to finish my plate of asaro.

On reflection, I wondered if the high price of tomatoes was making cooks depend more on pepper.

The people of the South West eat a lot of pepper but I find that some people of the North Central do the same.

Hmm.

I spent some time this morning chatting with a friend and her young daughter.

I asked the daughter how she found her school and she said she didn't like it. She's going to JSS2 next academic year.

She talked about episodes of not getting enough food at the canteen, finding a fly or hair in their food. She said that that the quality of the food was poor.

She said that the students had been warned not to tell their parents anything negative but must make reports to stated officers.

She talked about the uncleanliness of the dining room which would only undergo deep cleaning when parents were expected.

She complained about a teacher who ended a term without taking eight topics and advised the class to read them on their own. And about teachers who would just come to the class to dictate notes.

Her mum said she wanted to talk to the school officials but her daughter asked her not to do it so she wouldn't be hounded.

As she listened to her child again, she said she would talk the religious body which owns the school without letting on that her daughter was involved. I told her it wouldn't work because they would know she got the information from an insider and would link it to her daughter.

This is a school which used to get the WAEC excellence awards. Things have deteriorated there even though their fees are very high, some of the highest in the country.

One must try to get updated on the situation in schools which they are interested in sending their children to and not rely on the messaging from schools.

Mrs Bola, I'm a fan of adire too.

Your collection is rich BUT I see that you have some of the Chinese reproduction fabrics displayed too.

How does one order the traditional type? Can you separate them in your display?
Thank you.

He has no responsibility to you since you haven't paid him what you agreed to pay.

Honestly, you have no right to stay in his house. As advised, please pay him now or move out.

We can make life easier for ourselves sometimes.

It was not a royal visit...... Nigerian's made it a royal visit......

Thank you. And I am glad we did. That couple has been hounded like none I know.

Good afternoon, Madam Honourable. I don't know of any even in the whole of Lagos. I'm not sure, but I think the South West is serviced by the Ibadan drillers.

Thank you sir.

diordaves:
I'm not a contractor. I'm just a developer on the side.

Good morning Diordaves.
Please do you know of motorised drilling rigs in Ikorodu, like the Indians operate elsewhere?

Thanks for your response.

EleventhWeirdo:
WAEC has lost credibility. It has been deeply compromised

Sadly.

sunsweet33:
That is one thing, the other one is the detestable state of Textbooks that children are being forced to buy, see them riddled with horrible errors and fallacies.

sometimes they were even written by the headmaster of that same school which is even more worrying.

After they will ask why a law graduate speaks bad English. Was the bad English not supplied by the school in the first place?

Textbooks should be published according to the curriculum by respectable companies like in other countries and not used as a ploy to extort parents.

I didn't know this was a widespread practice. I checked a ward's Agriculture textbook recently and was stunned to see its material was largely based on publications and figures from the Directorate of Food, Roads and Rural Infrastructure (DFRRI). This was a failed project from more than two decades back.

The grammar was something else.

I have considered writing to the proprietors to urge them to review the choice of textbook but wondered if my letter would have an effect.

With your information, I think I should hold my peace.

zionstaar75:
this is the last year things will be like this. Niger state has cleared over 1 million hectares. I'm not guessing I have a friend who owns 2 tractors working there. You will see how food will be surplus next year

By God's grace.
We plan but He brings things to pass.

How much is your 7-paint bag?
Thanks

Namaster:
I like the swift response.

I realized there is an accessibility crisis in Nigeria the day I saw a hospital with stairs and NO ramp.

I believe that our architects require some updating in this area.

When my design showed a ramp for access to the front door (on one side and stairs on the other side), the engineer who was assisting us didn't see why one was needed. Then he decided to switch them and make the stairs the focus of the approach. That would have resulted in a very steep ramp. I refused and took control.

Later, he confessed that when he talked with some of his friends, they enlightened him about the use of ramps in homes.
He said he had believed that ramps were only used in public settings.

Even then, when I had asked him, months earlier, if our new church building design had a ramp, all he said was that a car could go into the building and the passenger would alight! He's been practising for decades.

I believe that special attention should be paid to the issue of building accessibility in the training of our architects and engineers. Even where ramps exist, I find that they are sometimes too steep for safety.

Can Bolt and Uber taxis still pick up passengers at Abuja airport? Thanks

Some of those strong insecticides were also harmful to man even if you inhaled after so many hours.
Their half-life is days, and they attack internal organs by long time accumulation. You may not feel the effects immediately but many years later and by then, you won't know it's the cause of your problems.

So true. Especially the Baygon of yore which I swore by.

They are there to feed on some of your fish.

Just like you'll find snakes around poultries.

JB4life:
Tinubu knows that price control is not possible for commodities not produced by government,just like telling private universities how much they will charge as school fees.

Second , importation of food is not easy nowadays, because of extremely high cost of USD making imported food to be far more expensive than locally produced ones .

If there were cheaper foods out there ,then there would have been no exporting of foods like maize, soyabeans, beniseed, etc.


Solution to Nigerian economic crisis is increased security, aggressive production of goods and services, especially farm products, and curbing corruption.

May God have mercy on us.

Amen.

Just this week, I read about farmers waiting for the release of dam water in either Katsina or Kano State.

The project is apparently owned by the Federal Government but the state has provided a generator. The officials haven't pumped water because they say they need funds to install the generator, buy diesel, oil etc.

The farmers said that if the water wasn't released by next week, they would have lost the opportunity to farm this dry season.

This lack of preparation by government agencies is also responsible for hitches in the agricultural sector.

Chippa United can not afford to lose him.

They can lose him if the price is right.

I hope he doesn't go back to South Africa. He could be killed.

saydfact:
In Ikorodu, we don't have them, because we hardly experience rock (I guess)

Might be bad for their business

Thank you.

Afternooon -
Knowing Abeokuta, I'll say go for borehole dug by the heavy machine drillers..... deep well and shallow borehole might fail.

If its Okay, contact me via whatsapp for cost estimate, advice.

Good evening Saydfact.

Are there heavy machine drillers in Ikorodu? Like the Indian drillers?
Thank you for your response.

Congratulations.

I like your summary and lovely pictures.
Greater heights ahead.

Do you have an account in Nigeria so you can receive the Naira equivalent?

Opportunity Cost is the alternative forgone.

MeineMutter:
Gedu is a kind of tree that grows well in Southwest Nigeria. Ask timber fellers. They will show you one. It is stronger than Iroko and Wallnut trees.

Just that our people have nearly cut and exported everything abroad.

The wood sells like hot-cake abroad.

Thank you for your explanation.

erico2k2:
Timber

Thank you.

MeineMutter:
If you know a good joinery person, you can use gedu. It lasts longer.

Could you please explain what gedu is?
Thank you.

I would get a basket and fill it with packets of oats, powdered milk, sugar, crackers, garri, Poundo, a scrubbing brush, dishwashing liquid, a couple of kitchen napkins etc.

Give them the pleasure of exploring their gift.

I'm glad you have peace living with them and that your health has improved.

A grateful heart brings more blessings.

OlujobaSamuel:

I was looking for the gist and couldn't find it.

No pictures of the kitchen.
