It is good to study this to know the root-cause.

Other than too much consumption of glutamate (seasonings) and salt, the pressure of wanting to make it in a family or among committee of friends, or the pressure of not wanting to be an outcast in something may be responsible.

Also foods and drinks being consumed in each region should be studied. Who knows….?

Chai.

Dangerous overtaking gone wrong.

That Oyo-Ogbomoso Road! If you know, you know.

But Nigerians have been suffering since 1600BC.

It is a welcome development o but the building no be am at all. It’s an eyesore.

It looks like a village maternity in Northern Tangayika.

In 2023? Haba! Open all our billions.

The kain mosquitoes wey go they that area ehn.

I mean all the stretch of roads and adjoining buildings on that canal.

Nobody would be free to leave his or her doors or windows open make fresh breeze enter small, any day, any time. Na 24/7 AC.

Chai, olowo don take im money buy imprisonment.


But let’s be honest: government officials who go on supervision are capable.
They see things like this and collect money but then go and report that all is fine in Alausa. Those supervisors and their key ogas need to be investigated via their BVN and other ways.

Any of them found with implicating evidences should be sacked and prosecuted under Lagos State laws.

folmus:
knife is too much! One blow with fists will break the door.

Thank God, you buttress my point. Those doors are not strong at all.

Elxandre:
Thanks for the reply boss. It's actually inner doors not as a security doors.
It's supposed to be all aluminum o, unlike the American panel doors.

You are welcome sir.
Even as an inner door, I don’t advise people to go for that type of door. It snags after a little period after installation, due to swinging here and there and, probably, mishandling by occupants.

Wooden door or HDF or MDF is better than all those mold-pressed films called doors.

In my opinion, it’s good you look for wooden door that has similar price to this, although the design may not be appealing to you like this one is, except you are able to get good door in a shop or one made by a furniture man for you.

Elxandre:
Guys is this door better than all these waston panel doors and the likes?

It’s not better.

There’s nothing inside that door. They only used frames of woods planks at the edges and a few thin planks to hold it at the middle. The front was mold-pressed.

If you want to prove me wrong, slit it open with a knife. You will see the inside.

An intruder can use common razor blade or knife to cut it open and gain access to your home.

I can share videos of where they make similar ones for you and where they cut open a similar one.

We have been thoroughly r1p.ped in Nigeria. So sad.

The immigration officers will frustrate the biometrics. They are the major bottleneck in passport application.

The bad eggs among them that will frustrate this should be shown an exit door to labour markets.

Some of those bad eggs are with us here on Nairaland. Awon oloriburuku. And they would be among the first sets of people that would blame government for things that go wrong.

What of the time it takes to do approvals on every node of the process?
Can he put timeline on it so that every officer in charge of each process/node can be tracked and assessed on whether they did it on time or not because Olori buruku ni awon people yen o?
They will want to frustrate applicants since their source of egunje has reduced.

Any officer that didn’t do his or her work within an approved time limit, the system should automatically take the role away from such officer and give/add it to the work of another senior officer. Such defaulting officer’s KPI should be painted in red and he or she should be punished by not collecting salary for the month.

The minister should help us put a tracking system online too so that we can know each stage the process has reached. We will know where our passport has got ‘stucked’ and can report it accordingly.

There should be a complaint portal as well where we can report any officer trying to collect br1b.e from us.

Let those yeye immigration officials too see shege promax. Let them spend from their own monthly salaries since they have got employed.

Walahi, over here, it takes less than 5 minutes to capture at various embassies. At their VFS office, no single soul on queue. And under 3 minutes, you biometric is taken and you have left. Before evening, you get an email that your biometric has been successfully submitted to the appropriate embassy.

Freaking simple.
No queue. No crowd. No biz center where they are making photocopies. No puff puff and minerals seller outside. No seat rental. No touts collecting parking fee. No emergency passport photograph booth.

This is exactly what we want in Nigeria.

Note, as attached:
Pix 1: VFS Office, Vienna.
Pix 2: German Embassy, Vienna.
Pix 3: Canadian Embassy, Vienna.

On a Monday morning o.

There is no embassy here where you would see crowd. You won’t even know it is an embassy until you read small inscription they put on a wall or until you see a country’s flag with an inscription saying this is an embassy of so so country.

… a lot of ideas about sports?

Sports? I laugh in Uromi.

Oga.

Your problem is half-solved. Take the list and go to markets yourself. You will thank me later.

You will save, at least, 500k from that list they gave you. At least 500k.

Those guys are crooks.

Nwaokunkpara:
Democracy is not for Africa

Every country should look for what will really work for them

Too expensive to run.

It is a welcomed development. Let them try and sustain it.
A brand new plane is not enough though but they have tried to show they are committed.

For scalability, it is good they list on our stock exchange and raise funds. Let them try and hold like 35% to 40% stake in Ibom Air. That’s what killed other airlines before them and that’s what is killing the ones we know. Our airline owners and CEOs don’t want people to share in what they make and they run into problems when they need serious funding to keep maintaining the fleets of planes.

Our government should enact laws that would mandate airline owners to list on our stock exchanges for good governance, transparency, efficiency and expansion sake.
We can count over a dozen of airlines that have come and gone in Nigeria. Maximum, they run for for 15 years, other than Aero Contractor.

Part of the returns from Ibom Air’s investments should be reinvested in the airline and later on channeled to fixing all rotten sectors, one-by-one.

They should target regional routes once they have like 5 newer planes that are airworthy and have passed all grade tests.

Aviation fuel will soon be cheaper once DANGOTE starts refining.

I pray one irresponsible governor won’t come and mess up the good work or use cunning way to takeover the airline the way Obasanjo did for OFN.

Other states of the federation should look for something serious doing to raise money to fix their estates instead and l.00ting monthly allocations - all in the name of signature projects.

ipobarecriminals:
this people and their SCAM. RING ROAD and CARGO as if there's NO AIRPORT in Akure wic is 25 minutes drive from Ado Ekiti.Wetin the state wan use CARGO do .To transport yam,cocoa ? Does those korope 🚌 needs RING ROAD ? OYEBANJI,we greet u from Pa Biden country

Don’t mind them. The free trade zone that Oyinlola used to pack billions at Abere didn’t see the light of the day. He only drove away those farmers and villagers and collected their lands.

Dry cargo ko, humid car come ni.

Awon Ole.

Dem don see us finish. They know we can’t do anything.

fabulous85:
pls how many square meters of pop board should 1 bag cast. Assuming you want a very standard casting.

https://www.sandandgraveldirect.co.uk/calculator/

Use that to check it.

It is useful for other sand and gravel calculations.

Starhearts:
Pls don't come to CYPRUS oooo
I warned u

I read Cyprus is joining Schengen Zone in 2024. The country has been given green light since July 2023, even though it is still going through its internal evaluation process as of today.

It will be tougher to get their visas soon. Anybody who wants to use the opportunity should start now.

But e go pain Turkey sha because Turkey has been promised all these years and Turkey is even 100% ready buh… politics.

lomprico:
Bros! The refineries dint go bad, the crroks in government abondoned it so that they will keep stealing from importation and subsidy.

You dint get my point, if FG wants to sincerely cut import duties and make CNG affordable and readily available, they can sincerely make our refineries work and if it starts working, no Nigerian will bother about converting their vehicle to CNG fuel.

I get your point quite alright. They deliberately ran it aground.
It pays to build new one than to fix that. That’s what we are preaching and refinery engineers and technicians have told governments this but somebody somewhere still goes ahead to maintain a refinery that is not serviceable.

All the OEM equipment for the refineries are no longer being manufactured because the manufacturers have stopped spares and service supports for those engines and parts. No manufacturer supports more than 10 years after sales. So the refinery is a junk of old scrap.

Any new equipment they bring there is not from OEM and it will breakdown quickly. Most of them won’t have warranties.

They are only using the refineries to ste.al money.

The 14 trillion Naira they have spent in ‘maintaining’ then could build modern and very hi-tech refinery.

Winneepye:
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a step. Let the governor do his own. Development does not finish.

Do what? You mean stea.l is own?

Road project that will be used to pack money and go.
Where is the traffic congestion in Ekiti State that warrants construction of Ring Road?
Ado-Ekiti that everywhere looks like babalawo shrine.

Wait and hear the billions they will mention. Awon olori buruku gbogbo.

Another white elephant signature project loading.

The money can build small concrete bridges across village streams and rivers where farmers are finding it difficult to commute and bringing farm produce to towns and markets.

lomprico:
Why can't they just allow the refineries to work so that fuel will drop to abut N45 per liter. Nobody will bother about CNG.

Which refinery? That of DANGOTE or that of FG? If it is government’s refinery you are talking about, my brother, FORGET ABOUT IT. It can never work again. May be it can work in another life sha.

I don’t think you know the level of decay at those refineries.
Something they have been collecting trillions of Naira on for over a decade and no single drop of oil was refined. You better don’t raise your hopes on that.

This is the better type of news we want to be reading here.

Can OP organize trainings for people too at cheaper prices?

Let’s liberate ourselves from the shackles of backwardness as a country.

OP is sitting on a multimillion dollar-worth of ideas.
At least you have practicalized your own rather that if FG and other oil producing states and yeye Ogun State and Lagos State governments who are full of empty promises.

A whole Lagos state having just two electric buses. S.hame on them on this. I expect them to have converted at least 50 buses to CNG in their first phase.
Anyway, we know how e dey go.

Sone other states are unjust there as figure-head. Only bearing state names for nothing. And the youth ls are there hailing and chanting their use.less governors’ names after being given a party of what legitimately belongs to them.

Anyways, this is an opportunity for road-side mechanics too. All the Kazeems, Semius, Sunny mechanic etc too should see this as an opportunity to uprage and add to their pool of knowledge and income.

Those who can’t afford the training fee can start watching YouTube videos on retrofitting of CNG ahead of when they would have money for proper training.

Those who feel watching only the videos can help them should go ahead and buy the kits and try one on their vehicles.

Let’s liberate ourselves.
One would be surprised to see how older and younger Oyinbos do all sorts things on a DIY basis.

An example is in the video below how a young chap has gone in making battery solar system.
I am sure electrical engineers can understand better:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2eXgiakD8U&ab_channel=DavidPoz

The internet is full of multi-trillion dollars-worth of free information.

Let’s dwell less on social media and utilize the real information on the internet to our advantages.

This country needs resetting...

Factory reset.

What are police doing with their allocation?

All vehicles donated to them too are being driven like car race game and being used anyhow.
Money to repair and maintain their fleet is being shared or looted.

If you like, buy them Ferrari, they will crash it.

It is 1989 VW danfo/Vanagon that fits them.

sonnie10:
Hope this clarifies my point

I get your point.
That’s oyinbo assertion.

After thorough washing, the tanks are suitable for drinking water. Just make sure they are exposed to air all through and after the washing processes.

Those thanks brought syrups of things that you consume

nurd:
It would be great if we can see some pics though.

This is a request; not necessary to be obliged. If this is safe, I don't mind switching to it but that will require space and new construction to house it.

Please tag me again. I will send you a YouTube video when I am free. In the video, you will see the estate where the tanks were used. May God help me.

nurd:
Love the bolded. Though most of the projects are wooden.

It can be adapted to bricks.

There are great websites that white men use in getting things done faster and cheaper, just that our people who have access to them hide them from us.

I hope to keep sending them out once I am free to check my archive.

Concession these roads and give concessionaires minimum standard to be met.

After construction, let them toll the roads and recoup their investments

Nigerians too need better roads

Let us enjoy being Nigerians.

Madam. Let’s them take care of you. You will still get the money.

People will still donate to you.

Sebi we have been shouting that our governors cause more ha.rm to Nigerians our presidents.

They are number 3 on Top-10 havoc-wreckers on Nigerians.
