To be a man no easy at all.
Aunty missed her period lately and from all indications she's pregnant.
But her cravings for seemingly impossible stuffs is just crazy.
She could ask for a fried mango or roasted watermelon
She's allergic to smells and scents, I've removed every air freshener in the house.

She can barely cook, she said everything is smelling.
Omo, e come be like say no be my house again.
Yesterday I went to look for kpomo by 12am
This life shaa 🤣
Legends in the house, na so e dey be

Medically, women who lack some minerals (mineral deficiencies) crave. You can read or find out more on this. If she lacks higher amount of iron, she can crave for weird things.

Let her see a qualified doctor.

I have always said it. Obasanjo caused this problem. He started what he couldn’t finish.

Nigeria corruption should be studied in the university.
I'm tired of reading stories about it

Even at doctoral (doctorates) level.

What can I do to this? The door frame is preventing me from turning the key

The door is oversized. I doubt if adequate measurements (of the door opening vis-à-vis the thickness of the doorframes) were done before buying or fabricating the door.

There are a lot of fixes.

One could be costlier than the other. The cheapest may be to thin-down the frame to allow key spinning, since you insist on being able to rotate the key.
Because your aim is just for the to turn or spin, taking off about 5 to 10mm of material from that doorframe may be help but it may deface or distort the thickness of the frame compared to others. I doubt if the frame’s thickness is up to 2 inches.

I still wonder where the door spindle will lock into spindle plate in the doorframe because the picture you shared is not showing where the door engine is locking into, as I have said earlier. Is it locking into the wall brick or into the wooden frame because that door is oversized?

It would be good if you can share the pix of where the spindle will lock into (that’s if there is any). If there’s none, the next fix may be to remove the frame completely and let bricklayers take of some bricks from the wall to accommodate the wideness of the door. This will be expensive than the first fix sha.

To do that, you need to properly know which side of the doorframes would be perfect to brake-down its bricks. It’s not compulsory the expansion is done at the side where the door engine is. Check with your bricklayer to know which side is safer, considering so many things e.g closeness to another wall or concrete or column.

You may end up condemning the frame bracket (the bar) because it will be shorter after expansion/pulling down of the bricks.

Expect more damage to the doorframes, if you have used conventional nails in joining them together. Whoever is handling the repair has to be careful.

Please try and share the pix of where the door will lock into. Let’s see if the frame can be reduced to 1-inch thickness at that side and be able to accommodate the door.

But these guys were running a near monopolistic business, how then did it fail?!

Parallel importation from Asia!

Our government does not know how to protect home industries.

They just don’t care.

But let’s face it: the company too has gone too far away from where there’s potential market for its products.

It should have established closer to Lagos and SW where there’s huge market for it and where purchasing power is a bit fairly better than other regions.

The owners must have chosen low productions cost over higher revenue.

Another mediocre.

Who are the architects designing rubb_ish for these people? This is 2024 fa!

With all Gbajabiamila’s exposure, he allowed this 1680 hut to be built as hospital - an 80-bed for that matter o.

Common!

forgiveness:
This is what I am talking about. Can you please share this on the minister's social media page? It will go a long way ooo.

That will be the best thing to happen to Nigeria.

It’s a pity I don’t use any those social media handles.

I only read the little news I am able to read and go to bed.

forgiveness:
Okay. I will check.

Wow! The bolded is what we need at the ports and other agencies. It will curb excessive exploitation by these civil servants.

There are a lot we can borrow from developed world and modify it to suit our peculiarities.

Come to think about it: we don’t need to host our servers locally. So no need of thinking of physical spaces to keep those big computers.
Oyinbo already have cloud servers, cloud computing etc that we can use to implement and keep our databases.

I imported something from Nigeria and I didn’t even see their customs here till I got the goods cleared. They were only sending me some codes to click on and are updating me at every stage of the clearing g process.
When it was time to pay, I paid, securely, online and the next thing is they brought my goods home.

forgiveness:
House address can't be changed at will except through the approval of the local government. I don't know where you got your information from.

They change it at will only Lagos o. You will see OLD, NEW - both of them on the same wall, without post office knowing.

seunayantokun:
I have lived both in and out of Africa and can clearly tell you that there is nothing wrong with our cultures regarding development. Our current problem is not due to our cultures. When I was growing up as a young man back in my village in the south-west, the postal agency officer in my village used to bring my mails to our compound. We used to receive mails from overseas and any part of Nigeria. Not much has changed except that NIPOST which refused to die as a result of corruption at the federal government level did so when mobile telecom operations were ushered in. So, postal service delivery in villages and towns are the easiest to revive.

The major headache lies in cities and urban centres, but that can also be sorted out. My address in Lagos isn't difficult for PHCN and banks to trace, as bad as my area in Lagos is. After all, I used my Lagos address for my BVN processing in an area whose planning residents and omo onile destroyed due to their greediness. My friend, there is no unconquerable mountain regarding the gist of this discussion.

I experienced the same thing growing up in SW. Things were decently functional then but not at optimal level.

You could be right sha but it’s going to be a serious work. That’s why is good they make Government post office as a Plc.

seunayantokun:
Correct view, but everything sensible will be useful there. Secured boxes are used in Europe plus post to home addresses.
We know the planning of this country collapsed long before it began. However, this kind of development will encourage decision makers to revisit our town planning system. Once we get it right there, all addresses will become traceable. Thank you.

Including all those mud houses and brown roofs in our inner towns which are not accessible?

New sites where people are building currently are not planned let alone old towns.

Our cultural system won’t allow for proper town planning system.
We have believed and used extended family structure for centuries. Family land inheritance is there. Compound ownership of parcels of land is there.

How do we demarcate lands, put them into plots, assign proper and rigid house numbering systems.

In cities like Lagos, landlord associations and youths who host carnivals change house address at will.
Expect that every December, there’s 90% that house addresses would be rearranged without consulting with postal services.

You would now be seeing 2 or more house numbers on one building.

Courier guy would be confused. Okada man wey carry you go dey confused.

We can even have mini-immigration offices spreaded across our town and cities life VFS office.

Their main work would only be to capture you and send your data, electronically, to central database where it would be processed further.

So, as we fill form online, we go to mini-immigration offices may be attached to banks etc for capturing and when our passport is printed, we get SMS and email messages to come and pick it if we don’t want it sent to us.

seunayantokun:
You will still need to be there in person for biometric capturing, but it makes the whole process extremely faster and much more comfortable.

Just appear for biometric capturing and disappear to await invitation to pick up your passport. Commendable!

If they really want to kill corruption in that place and further grow the POST and courier industry as a whole, simply make passports deliverable to owners' given home addresses only by post. Other government ministries, départements, and agencies can follow suit. Boom! Jobs surplus in the post and courier service industry declared!

Public vaults and storage businesses, using electronic keys would really help. A lot of house addresses in Nigeria are not traceable in villages, towns, and cities.

Public boxes like the one being used by Amazon, DHL, etc would be a perfect alternative.

Once your passport is ready, the courier company picking on your behalf will just drop it in any of those secured boxes around your neighborhood. Yours is to go there with electronic codes sent to you to open the box and another confirmation code would be sent again when you are opening the box for you to finally open with your correct details typed into the electronic keyboard on each box and boom!

It makes life easier.

Kirsa9:
why did you say so

Face mask on the lady

forgiveness:
Hon. Minister, is it possible to pass the border without human contact? Because those shameless immigration forcefully collect money to stamp your passport to go out and even enter your own country.

In fact, all the agencies at the border collect money from Nigerians and even Africans.

Is it also possible to rearrange the clearance of containers at the ports and borders? Because the agent use this opportunity to exploit importers which results to inflation.

They will never allow you to know the real fee of the shipping company, terminal and custom clearance because importers are not allowed to generate the invoice by themselves except through the agent.

I will advise that it be mandated that invoice must be sent to owners directly through email and owners should pay directly into the government account with the name the importer used to import into Nigeria.

That will reduce inflation because some agent with the collaboration of customs wants to make between 1.5m - 2m naira on importation of just one car alone besides others fees.

The owners of these cars wouldn't want to loose money hence add the agent 2m, other fees and his own profits on the vehicle making it extremely expensive. This is where inflation is also coming from.

Owners must be involved in direct payment of imported goods. Assigning this to agent tantamount to being exploited.

Hon minister of Interior, you can do it, sir.

This is a good suggestion. We need some high level of automation to get rid of our decade-long corrup_tion.

Our customs officials and all port stakeholders are ro.tten from head to toe , cor,ruption-wise.

That sector needs millions of liters of hypo to wash it clean.

I feel he could see your suggestion if you go and tag him and other relevant agencies directly on other social media handles.

I am certain a lot of Nigerians and importers and exporters will buttress your points and add their own take too.

With this, we could start resolving/break a lot of bottlenecks that our civil service has created.

I went to a very gigantic builders/construction shop here called Hornbach to pick what I ordered overnight. 7:30am the next day, the order was ready and a staff was already waiting for me.
I got there and a beep of scanner on the product sent me an automated email that I was now in the shop to pick my order and requested I confirm if I was truly the one in the shop.

Another beep on it at another desk sent me an invoice within seconds. Nobody asks for any tips or egunje here before they do their works.

The level of super-responsive automation in developed world is highly phenomenal and it cuts off a lot of middlemen, making prices of things to be cheaper.

The pipes Dangote layed are to channel gas for the 400MW powerplant and to be used as feedstock for the petrochemical plant..

Secondly..a read carefully before you quote..I didn't say 1m barrel of crude is needed everyday to produce gasoline of 650k pbd a day.


If a refinery is pegged at 650,000bpd crude processing capacity.. that refinery will require no less than between 600,000barrels of crude daily at least for optimal production and efficiency .. meaning NNPC should be supplying their 1 million barrels every 2 days..


Thirdly.. the refinery is only granted license to process over 300,000bpd

https://punchng.com/dangote-refinery-secures-licence-to-refine-300000bpd-crude/?amp

Even the license from DPR is 500,000 bpd license despite having 650,000bpd capacity

I do t buy into your assertion that 1m barrel of crude must be supplied every two days to sustain DANGOTE. How’s that possible without pipe, oga?

Please share technical data about that here. Let’s co-learn.

The license is tentative. You said it as if the extra capacity it has is wasted. As the finery fires up and NNPCL is able to find its feet, Dangote will be allowed to operate at optimum level.

Happy new year Professionals in the house.

I need an advice as regards my career

I just got a new job with a startup as a Business Analyst with Salary of 300k. Pension, health included

I am currently working in a well established company with a salary of 170k. Pension, healthcare included also

I am afraid of the unknown, there is comfort in my current company

Tomorrow 2nd will determine if I will resign or not. What if my current company decided to increase my Salary to 250k. Should I stay or not.

What’s the startup into? Who are the financiers or the core investors?
Are you privy to seeding patterns of future investments coming into the startup?

Who are the target customers of the startup?

Who are, currently, main (established) competitors of the startup?

Who are potential competitors of the startup?

What’s the pedigrees of the founders and those on Board when it comes to business knowledge, risks appetite, and their performance track records?

It’s good you know and share those (and more) I mentioned above with people here on NL for them to guide you.

Best of luck.

Chesster:
While this is commendable...

A refinery that can process 650,000bpd will need a stock of at least 1 million barrels of crude delivered every 2 days.. it took NNPC weeks to deliver this..

Anyways their license is around 300,000bpd..all we are waiting for is for the refinery to begin selling products

It won’t currently optimize the 650k capacity, so it doesn’t need crude every other two days.

You are not a chemical engineer because if you are one, you would know that 1m barrel of crude is not needed everyday to produce gasoline of 650k pbd a day.

Show us where the license reads 300k bpd. We want to learn more.

More so, subsequent crudes would be sent via pipelines from NigerDelta to Lekki, once everything around pipe-laying is concluded.

Ships cannot be bringing crude every week till eternity. That’s why DANGOTE laid the pipes.

Providing clean water to tenants is the job of property owners putting it out for rent or developers. Keeping law, order, cleanliness and good public sanitation is the job of the Lagos state government.

Mayeldah:
Do not disturb! Amaka is around

I will respond to you on January 3rd

😁😁.

Mayeldah:
Ok o!

so anytime I wan cum, na to open mouth Waaa!!! I go try am

Amaka go hear am for the Oza room this week

Try it and stylishly breath out the enjoyment air from your mouth and nostrils. Once it’s coming again, still breath it out. It won’t get to your brain to be processed and it would be as if you are just starting the act.

But wait o. You must be a bad guy. Why is it that you only picked that one?

This tip will work 95% if you can always follow it but not until I explain source of the anger to you.

You see where the air that gives us strength comes is the same place where the air that brews anger comes.

That air and the air that gives us pleasure (and be having the feeling of ‘coming’ when we are on our women) all come from the same air pipe.

What differentiate the outcome of each air is the kind of signal we allow it to send to our brains, which the brains then process into either anger or pleasure or strength etc.

Now that you know this, the easiest way to truncate anger from being processed in your brain is to ALWAYS OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND ALLOW THE AIR TO ESCAPE THROUGH YOUR MOUTH, AND NOSTRILS ALSO.

The moment the air leaves the source beneath your belly and going to your brain for processing (into anger), truncate it by opening your mouth and exhaling it through your nostrils so that it doesn’t cross to your brain and get processed into anger.

Note:
Opening your mouth or exhaling the air ONCE may not solve the issue immediately or calm you down because the air could keep brewing within you.

As it keeps brewing, keep allowing the air to escape before it crosses.

You may have to do this over and over till what is causing (provoking) you the anger is no longer there.

This trick also works when you don’t want to cum on time because and the pleasure is rising and you are feeling to cum, it means the air is trying to find a passage into your brain for processing into PEAK OF PLEASURE. The best way to truncate it is to open your mouth (and nostrils and allow the air to escape and you will be normal. Don’t forget the air may rise again. Still repeat this trick and you would be able to subdue any anger or untimely feeling of end of pleasure.

Sorry I have to type long essay for this.

Sure but they are cursed with bad leaders and corrupt citizens with the exception of Rivers state.

Rivers is trying than other ND states.

ifeco4:
Ibori?

How do you mean?

I only used Ibori in Delta State as part of the conversation. I know he is not from Bayelsa. Thanks for raising the flag.

Both Delta, Rivers and Bayelsa are supposed to be giving Lagos State a run for her money but Gone and Taraba are better than them. All producing states my feet.

They want to spend a token from trillions they have stol.en from the masses so that people don’t say they are wicked.

Bayelsa is supposed to be as beautiful as Madeira or like Singapore. From Ibori (of Delta State) to another a.ni.mals that are there now, none of them is pure. They and their thie_ving civil servants and other politicians and co_rru.pt traditional rulers, community and youth leaders don st,eal the state bend.

They have all gone to bed… only feeding on monthly allocations.

Welcome back guys!!!!

Hello professionals in the house, Can someone help me review this BOQ for a three bedroom bungalow with Study and probably a rough estimate to aid in renegotiating before starting the excavation process for foundation

Land condition: Table Land and not swampy

I bought 10 trips of sharp sand out of the 15 trips and 60 bags of cement which was used to mold 3000+ blocks and also I've already bought 30 tons of granite and its on site already.

Temporary shedhouse/store has been erected on site too.

Though the professional charge, I negotiated down to 500k

Cc: Saydfact kkonsults Biztech05 etc....

Dem wan sc.am you.

Seek second opinion. Get 2 more quotations.

Anyone you are eventually going with, pay him only professional fees. Negotiate the professional fee down. He is not supervising anything complicated.

Baba Kamo can supervise the house and give you the same results he will give you.

Get those egun boys and be paying them per block layed.

Let anybody who is supervising be telling you things you need to do at each stage and be buying them. Don’t give him money o.

It is your house. Not his own.
He can’t be your boss. Don’t be afraid. You ain’t loosing anything incase there’s delay in completion period.

Remain firm on your decisions.

No matter how long the nose of a labourer is, who gave him work is his master.

Same thing across other government parastatals. They are still drawing salaries while they are away abroad.

Sone immigration officers requested to be posted to villages so that they can escape prying eyes.

Then why are lot of people still doing the conventional roofing despite the high cost involved.....

They like neighbors to always see the shuku they have plated heavily on their building.

Cost of such roofing style always nearly equals cost of the carcass itself.

dangermouse:
Watching the impunity as it unfolds. How can the 27 law makers be loyal to an ex governor and not the elected governor they are serving under?

It is so gross and undemocratic.

Woke should let Fubara focus on governance as the elected governor of the state. He has had his days and time to let go.

Greed and selfishness is not good.

No elected law maker is to serve governor. They are to serve you people of the state. That’s why they are called representatives. They are representing you because every individual cannot sit at the decision-making table and deliberate on things to do for a state.

By not understanding who these people are and what power we have over them are parts the reasons they are miss-ruling you.

Both governors and reps are your servants.

Let the youths understand this.

I will keep tagging you with each new outrage. It is a blood feud.

You have been far, far too generous to this man. You don't know him and those who surround him...their value system simply cannot take this country to where it needs to go. BAT and his team can't give it...because they don't have it.

Where do we start?

The convoy nonsense that started it all...

The UNGA jamboree...

The supplementary budget bazaar...(the N5 billion yacht, the presidential & vice presidential palace renovations, the N1 billion first lady official vehicles purchase etc...)

Seyi Tinubu's use of official aircraft for leisure purposes...and his gatecrashing FEC meetings

Folashade Tinubu-Ojo's N10 million 'guest' accommodation/hotel fees...covered by the vice president's office

The COP 28 jamboree

And so on...

The Doris Uzokas of this world and their DGs, directors, permsecs etc. were emboldened to slot that request into the budget because they know exactly the kind of man who's leading the country. I wager you know men and women who if they had the top job in the country - and this kind of budget was submitted - they would make sure that would be the end of that federal minister. But not BAT.

BAT cannot do this job. What I expect now is that the administration will soon go into overdrive to prevent these disclosures to Nigerians. Going forward, this government will now do everything in its power to cover its tracks and keep Nigerians in the dark. Whether they will succeed is the big question.

BAT is not the answer.

Let’s still wait a little sir. 😁😁.

I am certain: he is not the right man. But let’s see his strokes by half year 2024. May God spare our lives beyond then.
