Lol, you just might be right

I got wind of this info on Saturday, 26/11/2016, from a friend who is a military personnel. Honestly, I doubted his claims because we were already drunk at that time. Now that a serving Senator of the Federal Republic had publicly corroborated the claims, let's await what our wicked, callous and inhumane thieving-governors would say that they are going to do with the huge allocations!



Hmmmm, priority number 1 for all of them shall be DUALISATION OF ROADS LEADING TO OUR VILLAGES' FARMS! Mark my words!

@the bolded... well, so was I. Sure, you're entitled to your opinions as am I. But it doesn't excuse those blunders man. Get it together .

Johnnyessence:
excuse me here. Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion ok. Am typing on my phone no my system hmmmmm. Thanks for ur correction hmmm.

You see what i'm saying... the man is even too stingy or lacks the resources to hire proper "keyboard warriors" courtesy of his remittances . How can you hire an area boy who can't spell to save his life, to defend you online? Ha! Spend this money Ogbeni and his cohorts o. Pay your apologists or hire more competent hands. To help people understand what you're saying, I'll correct some of the errors in your post.

Johnnyessence:
another stories This again?. Am reading now the trash again now What is it with all the trash about my governor. U have no source to buttress ur point but only to wail ok. Dino that is sayingwho is spewing trash knows well the state of economy in this country. He should first ask why his home own [/b]state governor, yahaya bello is still owing d workers' salary in kogi state. Dino have [b]has [/b]shot himself again for his stupid comment so far. Now, bello is using [b]has spent two years now in power [s]and there is nothing to talk about in infrastructure[/s] without anything to show for it infrastructure-wise. I think they are really pained with the drastic ("incredible" is the word you're looking for) development in the state of osun. They av not see anything yet oooo. In two years time they will know more. As far as osun state is concern concerned d debt profile of osun state is very low compare compared to kogi state where dino came from.

Dino Melaye may have running mouth's disease, but he's telling the truth in this instance.

Aregberascal remits at least 30 percent of whatever monies the state gets to his Godfather, the Jagaban. That man has singlehandedly run Osun state into the ground by awarding white elephant contracts and projects to his cohorts and family. So, I won't be surprised if he doesnt pay salaries.

Honestly, this man should be dragged out and flogged in public for his mismanagement of the state's resources and the hardship he's been inflicting on the civil service and the Osun state residents.

Holy crap! That's uncanny. You sure ozil isn't Enzo's illegit son?

slevin1:


69. Enzo Ferrari founder of Ferrari died in 1988. Mesut Ozil born in 1988. They are both a striking resemblance of each other. (Take a look at their pictures and find yourself believing in reincarnation.)

Can anyone familiar with the blue brt routes educate all of us so we can use them more? This will be good info particularly for someone who has just moved to lag and needs reliable transport options. Thanks.

Joavid:


yea, that blue BRT is one of the best thing that ever happened to Lagos.

I hope they maintain it.

a wise person in Lagos knows when to use his private car, or take BRT, or take yellow bus, take a cab or take Uber.

Taking in consideration your destination.

@Gazzuzz, can you recommend anyone in Osun, Ogun, and Ibadan?

For those seeking a pure Android experience, Google's Nexus line (RIP) used to be the way. But Nexus' days are over, and Google has jumped directly into the phone design game, releasing the Pixel and Pixel XL.

While the Nexus phones were mid-range devices, made to mid-range specs and sold for mid-range prices, the Pixel and Pixel XL were designed to be flagship phones through and through — from the specs to (sadly) the price. So, how do they stack up to the rest of the Android universe — and to the iPhone 7?

The Best Android Phone Ever? Yes, The Best Android Phone Ever
"The best Android phone money can buy." [VentureBeat]

"The Pixel is easily the best Android phone I’ve ever tested." [Recode]

"Google hit a home run." [The Verge]

"[The Pixel is] the best pint-sized Android phone we’ve used all year." [Digital Trends]

"The best Android phone." [Ars Technica]


The Design Leaves Something (Or A Lot) To Be Desired
Assessments of the Pixel's design range from "unexciting" to "ugly":

It's increasingly difficult to put a screen on the front of a 5- to 6-inch metal slab in a way that actually turns heads and opens wallets... The fruit of Google's labor is a phone that's pleasing to both the eyes and the hand, yet at the same time feels relatively safe and non-risky in design terms.
[Android Central]



The Pixel is an ugly phone. The design is a little wider and taller than last year’s Nexus 6P, and the bezel on the bottom lip of the phone is much bigger. Yuck. There’s also a big slab of plastic at the top of the phone’s back that feels sticky and a little uncomfortable to hold. The design is nowhere near as sleek, clean, and easy to use as the iPhone 7. These are all weirdly regressive design choices, but the most regressive is that the phone isn’t water resistant.
[Gizmodo]



And Battery Life Is Still Up In The Air
Battery life is notoriously hard to gauge, and Pixel reviewers came back with different reports. The good:

Both phones proved to be serious contenders in day-to-day use as well. After a full day of work, the XL would typically hover around 46 percent, and then, when my schedule quieted down, it just sipped on its remaining power. All told, I could reliably squeeze a day and a half of use out of it on a single charge, or closer to two workdays, even, when I took things slow. The smaller Pixel fared well too, sticking around for a full day and clinging to life the next morning.
[Engadget]



The not-so-good:

[I]n my short few days of testing, using the smaller Pixel, I never approached the 13 hours or so Google claimed for most activities. On a day when I was focused on battery life, streaming a 90-minute movie and playing music for hours, I got only a few minutes over nine hours — not even enough to get most people through a full work day, including commutes.
[Recode]



But The Camera Is On Par With The iPhone 7 Plus
If Apple's consistently great camera offerings have kept you in the iPhone camp, the Pixel could give you a reason to consider Android:

The "best ever" label may be up for debate, but the Pixel camera consistently produces great shots for a smartphone camera. Smartphone cameras are all so good now that there isn't much separation to see in well-lit shots, but in low light the Pixel captures stands out when producing bright colors and preserving detail. It's easily on par with the iPhone 7 Plus camera — despite that one having two lenses.
[Ars Technica]



CNET took the Pixel and the iPhone 7 Plus out for a test run. You can check out the photos here — and here's their conclusion:

If you tend to shoot portraits and that's what matters to you most, the iPhone 7 Plus is an obvious choice. Portrait mode is dSLR-esque in beta and we only expect it to improve by the time it gets a public release. But if brighter colors, sharper detail throughout the backgrounds of photos and capable low-light photography is more important, it's the Pixel. I have to admit, I initially thought Google over-promised on its new flagship — especially after those disappointing Nexus — but I was wrong. It's a new chapter for Google phones and this one earned its name.
[CNET]



It's Plenty Fast
Performance is superb on the Pixel XL, which is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 chip and 4GB of RAM. When you do something, it responds without delay. Swipe up from the bottom? Up the icons come. Swipe down? Down they go, just as fast as they appeared. Swipe down from the top? Here come the notifications. Down again? There are the quick settings. Up? Notifications. Up again? Back to the home screen. Apps open immediately. In short, the user interface always responds instantly to your input. This is freeing. But the best part is that unlike some phones, the Pixel XL doesn’t slow down when you’re low on battery life.
[VentureBeat]



And It's Finally Simple And Intuitive — Like An iPhone
The iPhone is the Default Phone, the one you buy when you want a phone, not a project. The Google Pixel changes that. It offers the look and competence of an iPhone, with a truly great camera and loads of innovative software and services. It changes my answer to the question I hear most often: What phone should you get? You should get a Pixel.
[WIRED]



Google Assistant Is The Best AI Assistant... But That Still Doesn't Mean Much
To be very clear: the Google Assistant is absolutely the smartest of the assistant bunch, but it's not yet in a class of its own. Google knows so much more about me than, say, Apple, and it’s assistant should reflect that. Because Google itself is placing so much emphasis on the Assistant, it should be held to a higher standard than all the rest — and there's clearly still some work to do.
[The Verge]



In its current state, attempting to accomplish complex tasks with Assistant on Pixel will waste more time than it saves.
[New York Times]



TL;DR — Yeah, It's Good
The Pixel isn’t a slam dunk that suddenly makes all other premium Android phones obsolete. But if you want a high-end phone, it deserves to be on your short list. And if you’re sick of bloatware, heavily customized interfaces, and delayed OS updates, there’s really no other choice.

Thank you for this post gist4kidsblog. Bookmarked it. Found it to be quite resourceful. Are these the current market prices? What would be your estimates for a 30ft x 30ft building using the following roofing sheets:
0.55mm Metcopo Aluminum Roofing Sheets
0.55mm Aluminum Step Tile Roofing Sheets (Step tiles)
Stone Coated Shingle Design
Also @ spyder880, rotecch77, g8alumetal, drtwist, Kaybee14,

Thank you Cornerstone001. Could you please see the above quote?

Cornerstone001:


It all depend on your budget for the project, but if you really have what it takes (Money), a material with high performance and long lasting end could have been the best option. For instance, we have two different grades of stone coated step tile {i.e. 0.45 and 0.55 mm SWG}; the 0.55 mm gauge being the best quality is expected to cost you almost double of what it will required to roof with ordinary Aluminum long span.

Although, apart from the aesthetics value of stone coated roof tile, it more advantageous and modern to any other roofing materials at the moment, but most people has resolved at using whatever they can afford at the moment due to the economic situation in the country currently.

Whichever way it is, if you are using any of the Aluminum roofing sheet {Step tile Aluminum, Long Span Aluminum or Metro coppo} Make sure you buy quality 0.55 mm gauge
Best of luck!

spyder880:

I use New Zealand made roofing tiles mainly. I use Wichtech or Tilcor tiles most times. I have become used to their consistent and reliable quality. But they are also very costly.
I have also used a few Korean made roofing tiles and they are still looking good after some years.
But that does not mean there are no other quality roofing tiles out there. There are still some very good ones I have seen, looks very good and even cheaper, but I have not used those.

Thank you rotecch77. Tried to edit my first post to include new details, but that doesn't seem possible. So, I'll ask it here. Okay, how much will this cost for an approximately 84sqm 5 bed duplex? My current budget is between 600k and 1m for everything (woodwork, roofing sheets/tiles, and overhead costs). Please note: the building is in the east.

@ g8alumetal, please see the quote above for more information.

g8alumetal:
sir, as regard to ur request on hw to choose d type of roofing sheet for ur building here r guildlines:
1)wot is ur financial capacity?
2)wot type of aesthetics do want to achieve, cos building is a form of tourism status. In dis regard, d latest in roof aesthetics r in d following order, d stonetiles, metcopo aluminum design, steptiles alum design and then d regular alum design, d price is as well big in d same order, so ur pocket and choice determine which u wants to choose.
3)Ur choice on d type of d roofing sheet will determine d roof skeleton to b erected, mind u d cost of d skeleton is affected by d cost of roofing sheet u chose. for instance, stonetiles, takes more wood due to specific spacing of d woods hence increase one number of wood to b bought and corresponding increase on money to spent..
So d choice is urs, for more clarification call me on 08037459962 or 08128757203

@ Oga spyder880, thank you. Please see the quote above for more information.

spyder880:
Your decision should be, what type of building finish do you have in mind. If you are looking at a moderate finish with a good look, go for long span aluminium , or go a little higher and do the step tiles aluminium like Oga Rotecch77 has said.

If you are loaded, go for the stone coated roofing tiles, but look out for the better quality so it does not fade away and dissapoint you.

If you have enough capital I will advise you to go for long span aluminum roofing sheet,0.45 or 0/55 guage,with this you will have a rest of mind

Good afternoon everyone. I have been an ardent, if silent follower of the property section. I'm just embarking on a roofing project for my dad's house and would like your recommendations. I took my time to search through this forum for a guide or a primer on the various types of roofing sheets, their costs, pros and cons and so on but couldn't find any.

So, I decided to create this thread so that the learned and experienced ones can educate us, while newbies who are just doing their first builds can at least get the appropriate information or possible cost estimates for their roofing projects.

So, my ogas that have done this in the past/or are familiar with roofing costs, please help. Thank you.

spyder880, egunmogaji, hajj mufutau, rotecch77, ytechconst, cornerstone001, nikkypearl

Great job rotecch77. Can you give a total cost for the roofing? I'm working on something similar and need to have an idea of the possible cost involvement. Thanks.

rotecch77:
Here we used 0.45 (grade A) long span aluminium, a meter cost 1650, while grade B cost 1350,

You should understand the difference. Here's websters definition of morality -one of them anyway: conformity to ideals of right human conduct.

Here's another definition: principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior.

And another: a particular system of values and principles of conduct, especially one held by a specified person or society.

In fact, visit this link for a note exhaustive discourse on the subject: http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/morality-definition/

Based on those definitions, are we talking legality or morals? Aren't they interwoven in this instance? To a large extent, one cannotnbe mutually exclusive of the other.

So if someone tells me that a morally abominable action isn't wrong, it tells me they don't know what they're saying. Now, if you had said "one can get away with a morally abominable action", I'd have agreed with you.

But to say, morality is relative? Ha! That's not a tenable argument.

AZeD1:

Stealing is against the law, so is rape, has nothing to do with morals. You need to understand the difference between morality and legality.

- Is it fair/morally right that Senators earn millions while the minimum wage is 18k?
- Is the HND/Bsc discrimination fair or morally right
- Is it fair/morally right/ justice that the Niger Delta suffers all the consequence of Oil exploration alone but share the money with the whole country?
- Are tax laws fair the poor?
- Is it fair that a poor man would suffer more than a rich man for the same crime because the rich man can afford the best of lawyers while the poor man can't?

Is stealing, lying, breaking community/societal rules and dictates subjective to the society? Is broad daylight embezzlement/financial misappropriation the order of the day and an acceptable activity in any society regardless of its cultures?

So, when serial killers murder other people, it is acceptable because they feel it is right? So, when people are deprived of their fair wages, it is normal -and I don't mean in the "what can we do" way. I mean in the "that's okay, it's acceptable" way?

Point to one society where this applies.

Since morals are relative, it means that if I deprive you of fair wages after you've done a good job, because feel I'm right, that would be acceptable? If I come into your home and rape your wife/your sister in front of you because I can and have no compunctions about it, you would talk about moral relativity and try to understand my perspective?

If I come to your place of business, hire your services or pick up a few items and walk away because I feel I'm justified, that's alright? Where in the world is this common practice? Please educate me.

When many people talk about morally relative practices,their arguments and examples typically come from a sexual standpoint -please don't bring this up as I'm familiar with sexual practices in parts of Polynesia. It's not relevant to this discourse (we're not talking about sexual defilement/affairs and its relative acceptance or the lack of it in some societies).

I maintain that there are universal principles of fairness, justice, and equity; all of which are tied to morality. These are non-debatable. So, when someone brings up the argument of morally abominable acts not being wrong, I just call bullshyte .

AZeD1:

This is not true. Morals are relative and are subject to individual/ cultures.

I stopped reading when I saw this: There is absolutely nothing wrong or illegitimate about this objective even if it is morally abominable. When someone says there's "absolutely nothing wrong" and then ends the sentence with "even if it is morally abominable", it tells me something: That author's moral compass is not only broken and needs fixing, he shouldn't be taken seriously by any right thinking individual. Anything that is morally abominable is absolutely wrong, period! You cannot exclude one from the other. All these kobo-kobo journalists and public analysts sef.

I don't like seeing him like this. And all these pictures of him with gauze wrapped around his head, sleeping or awake are not cool at all. The man obviously looks like he's in pain/unaware of whats happening around him. All these people taking pictures with and of him for notoriety's sake should be shamed. I hope he gets better. His condition has been a bit worrisome for me. Brain tumours are no joke even when they are benign.

This right here is the mother of all responses on this thread. helovesme, you are a very smart woman. They guy who loves you is a lucky guy. babacares, this post -particularly the bolded parts- has addressed all the objections and misgivings you had. Go do all she's stated. 6m a year courtesy of a boss who really likes you, reduced expenses, plus the opportunity to spend more time with your family? I'd say it's a fantastic deal.

helovesme:
Contract job all the way.

The only down side is that you will miss out on perks such as housing allowance, maternity pay, holiday pay, sick pay, etc except their terms of the contract job is different which I doubt.

Most contract jobs do not come with perks and allowances which is why it's important you negotiate as best as you can for a very high pay.

No job is secured - both permanent and contract. A person could be a permanent staff and suddenly he is penned down for redundancy. Same with contract roles - you could get a call informing you that the contract is about to end. This is why you should go for the role that pays the highest. Besides, you've already stated that you are uncomfortable with the exit policy of your present employer which means the company offers no job security.

If you are good at what you do and you've built a professional network, you shouldn't struggle to move jobs. So if this role ends, you should easily get another job.

Since the contract role means you will be living with your family, you will end up spending less and saving more in the areas of commuting between two locations, maintaining a second home, etc.

sure... keep me posted

I am sorry for the inconveniences, i was out of town. Right now we are out of stock and i will soon bring new ones.

Locotech, I'm actually intrigued by the concept of building homes using concrete walls. Could you educate us more on this building method? Apart from the seemingly favourable cost implications, I'm also assuming it'll take less time to construct than the conventional block moulding methods we're used to, no? How about factors like insulation, ventilation, aeration and so on? Could you show us some examples of finished projects here in naija?

Surfed the web for some pictures too and I like what I'm seeing. Please see attached pics if you're interested.

Someone should please tell this guy to stop trekking. When he trekked the first time, Nigerians had no idea that his actions were "prophetic" -they were symbolic of what was about to happen in the country. Abeg make una tell am say Nigerians no wan trek again o . Whatever he wants to do, let him do it with vehicles. Who knows, it just might be "prophetic" again, lol.

This is the same problem I have with this guy. His number never goes through. MonettMobile, you're losing business o. if you have new stock upload them here and turn on your lines.

Called but couldnt get through. let me know when you're back on. cheers
