Guk: Boko Haram existed long before GEJ became President. Always chk your facts

Is Obasanjo a Northerner or from Niger Republic? Or SW is not Southern Nigeria any more? Last time I checked SW was part of Southern Protectorate before 1914. You learn your history first.

blink182: Did he even think before replying. This country politics don tire me. All involved parties should hold their national convention so that apc can be finally born officially and give us a strong alternative to look at.
.

To rule a balkanised country? Oh well they can always rule Oodua Republic.

Instead of people to sit down and decide if we want this very abuse
ive, violent and bad marriage or a very sensible divorce, people are just going on like everything is ok. MEND, MASSOB, Anasru/Boko Haram, Ombatse etc, would not be possible in a country that exists on concensus instead of "by fire, by force".
PoliticsRe: Dokubo Is A Private Individual - Reno Omokri by MacLovington(m):
So the same Northerners who started Boko to distabilise the presidency of a Southerner are now making noise about Dokubo.
So Boko who are bombing churches, army, police and waging war against the country are not commiting treason?

Do people not see that Nigeria only now exists in the pockets of looters?

Of course the SW will do as if nothing happened.

Apart from Gowon regime (in what he thought was an act of patriotism) I can see why Awo largely refused a deal with the North.

But today's politicians from every zone are too busy looting to have any principles. Shame.

PropertiesRe: Cheap Lekki Lands (sandy And Dry)......500k Per Plot by MacLovington(m): 9:59pm On May 05, 2013
gabbytabby: My assessment.

I had the opportunity of visiting this site and another in the area on Thursday 11th April 2013 and it does not meet my investment criteria. In my assessment, It frankly has the same status as an omonile land as the seller have not erected structures that demonstrates their significant claim which qualifies it to be called an estate and it really is far both from the road and in the axis region. I consider it overpriced and there are a lot of properties and estates in the axis that provides better value for money.

What is happening is that some people will go and buy a sizeable plot about 20 to 30 and start to market it to unsuspecting people in the diaspora without any documentation. With a little more money say 1m to 1.5m you can get something meaningful and in reasonably good distance.
.

@gabbytabby, when you see plots between 1m and 1.5m, let us know.

brabus: We can work based on whatever route you choose. Of course, we break the project into 4 stages.

1. Substructure
- Setting out
- Excacation/Blinding
- Foundation works
- Sand filling
- DPC

2. Superstructure (Ground Floor)
- Block Setting
- Lintel, Columns and Beams

3. Slab

5. Superstructure (First Floor)
- Block Setting
- Lintel, Columns and Beams

4. Roofing
- Woodwork
- Roof Covering
- Ceiling Noggins
Nice breakdown. I was talking to a young colleague last time: he doesn't want to spend more than 1m on land in Lagos.

He got offered a 120 x 60 plot in Ibeju-Lekki and a 120 x 120 plot in Ikorodu for 900k and 950k respectively. He's thinking more ahead, hoping there will be more development there over say 3 to 5 years. Although he wants to start building soon.

Objectively, which of these two plots would you go for?

Considering that Ibeju-Lekki land will almost certainly involve raft foundation.

I was actually advising him to increase his budget but he thinks that's all he can afford for now.

brabus: Sure, I can build anywhere in the Southwest Nigeria. I wish I could be in that investment group too but there are too many things competing for my time now. Spyder has my 100% support. Infact, we are working on the first construction collabo (Spyder and Brabus team) on Nairaland for another Nairaland friend in PH grin grin
.

Good to know that. I can now constructively contribute when people raise this matter.

How does your procedure looks like?

Can you do foundation as phase 1, Up to lintel/window level as phase 2, lintel and final as phase 3, Roofing as phase 4 etc with gaps of say 2-3 months in between?

Do you charge per phase?

PropertiesRe: What's The Best Way To Build A House From Diapora? by MacLovington(op):
brabus: 1. DIY - You can save at least 30% of the your build cost if you get it right. But there's a caveat, if you're in least doubt PLS BACK OUT or ask questions from those who have been there before.
2. Pay As You Go - I build for people and I ask them to pay only when milestones are met. In fact, there's a penalty if we fail to deliver on schedule.
3. Be Involved - You're not expected to save on cost alone. A badly built house is worse than been ripped off in some cases. Get a professional to check the work as milestones are met.
4. Get Quotes from other contractors.
5. Be Flexible - We all make mistakes. If you're too rigid, you may end up getting shoddy jobs as the contractor, builder or relative handling your project may end up patching up to make you feel good.
6. Don't sign up with Baba Bricklayer! - Get a professional to handle your project and get a contractual agreement signed by both parties.
7. Break the project into stages and have the contractor list out the material requirements, and deliverables.
8. Be in Charge - Remember you're the project manager (whether in Diaspora or Home). Fire, dismiss, sack that contractor before he take advantage of you. You won't loose a thing doing so. There are millions of people looking for job.
Correct talk Brabus. I follow most of your threads anyway. I thought you would be in Spyder's investment group too.

I have done projects from diaspora since nearly years and dishonesty is just getting worse. But thank God there are still some transparent people, but sadly few and far between.

Brabus are you to do jobs in Ikorodu, Lusada/Agbara and Ibeju-Lekki axis? I know a few people short of time to come home and do projects but could potentially do in phases/stages if there was a reliable person.

True people are being put off because of previous bad experience and end up doing nothing.

cyntiathis: HHMMM BROS i beg, na you be the contractor in question??
.

No mind am. Na one of those who like to reap where he did not sow. Another confirmed thief. He must have been caught cheating also.

People like these are dangerous, they can send armed robbers/kidnappers after you when you go home. Confirmed criminal.

To begin with, who told him he is a professional?? That's why they sit Jamb ten times or have to bribe to get admission.

May other people rob him of the money he made with his sweat.

He's one poor church rat and doesn't know how much it costs to do decking nor how much it cost to roof a house or he would not mention one million Naira.

Let him be taking panadol for other people's headache. Let him be looking for people abroad to dupe instead of working hard.

You see his primitive mentality that everybody abroad is doing yahoo yahoo so, he thinks he's taking his share from yahoo yahoo money... You too go abroad and do yahoo yahoo. He wakes up everyday looking for which crime to commit. Onyara.

You think it's like Naija that people get away with murder. Ask your brother Ibori (the man who could have become president of Nigeria if he was not too close to Atiku)) in British jail and see how easy it is to escape justice here.

The slightest criminal record here and bye bye to your legal, accounting, actuarian, medical, engineering or any decent professional career.
Of course that anu has no career and wouldn't know what I mean.

Na wa oo.

New development on another on-going project!

My supervisor quit last week. I have been doing multiple quotations especially on labour. His turned out up to 60% more expensive and I saved nearly 200k in one case! He got frustrated of the tight monitoring and quit.

Of late he was inflating surface area by 400%. Najia will never settle, there is too much dishonesty.

I am relieved that he threw in the towel. I didn't know how to fire him without causing family rift so I tightened the monitoring.

British UKIP party leader Farage:

The chicken crossed the road because it wanted to run away from the dictatorship of the indolent and unelected EU beaurocrats in Brussels whose singular purpose of setting up the EU is to abolish the Pound Sterling and transfer all powers from Westminster to Brussels.

BNP right wing party:

The chicken crossed the road in order to avoid all the immigrants that have changed the colour, landscape, air, sea and sky of the UK beyond recognition and to protest the laissez-faire attitude of the the conservatives and Labour who give houses to Non-white Brtish people instead of sending them to concentration camps.

The chicken particularly hurries across the road on seeing immigrants chewing chewing stick in Peckham!

Shuley: sorry to say, i don't have any of the above! like Hiv, Tb and all the rest u named there. As i read on there are other causes of candida albican
.

Have you actually had your HIV status checked?

We see this everytime. Immunosuppression is a major cause like during chemotherapy. You need to first exclude the most common reason.

A friend's son had ringworm here in Europe. The GP treated for months to no avail. I remember hearing from a brilliant lecturer years back that that drug doesn't work for that kind of ringworm. I asked his mum to insist on a different drug and a differnt mode of administration. Within a week the difference was clear.

So your doctor may not be using the right drug or you caught a particularly nasty/resistant type.

We abuse antibiotics/antifungals in Naija so resistance is common.

coogar: it begs the question - what was he doing in HMP durham?

to the best of my knowledge, there has to be an arrest where a suspect would spend a maximum of 24/48 hours in a police station before going to court. a judge must have refused his bail application to be in prison. there are loads of loose ends in this case. if he had died in a police cell then it's understandable but how did he did up in prison if he had done nothing wrong?
.


Coogar it doesn't matter why he was arrested, if he's found guilty he should serve appropriate time.

There's no death penalty in UK for anything.
