SmartMugu: Something happened back in 1999 that I still can't comprehend till today. It was in my OND days back in Nigeria. Most of us lived off-campus and usually hung out at various bars and spots after classes.
On a certain day, me and my friends went to a snooker spot, and were playing pool and drinking. There were about three guys there before we got there and one of them was the leader of a cult there on campus. Everybody knew him, he doesn't tolerate oppression from anyone but at the same time he was jovial and friendly with everyone. I won't say his name, but let's just call him 'K'.
Back to what actually happened. It was me, two of my friends, K, two of his friends and the bartender at the spot. In total it was 7 people. The bartender was doing her thing behind her counter, and the remaining six of us were playing pool and drinking. All of a sudden, the police popped up at the spot and rounded all of us up. Everyone could be seen except K. I was just playing pool with him, where was he? All we could see were his sandals.
All of us, except the bartender were arrested, K was no where to be found. All the police wanted was just money, we gave them all we had and they let us go before we even got to the station. We went back to the same spot to ask about what happened to K, the bartender said she was shocked. She said the guy just reappeared from no where after the police took us and walked out majestically.
If that's not voodoo, I have no idea what else it is. There was no where to hide in that spot. I still don't have any other explanation for what made someone I was just playing pool with disappear within seconds as soon as soon as police arrived. No he didn't hide anywhere, he didn't go to the bathroom, he didn't run, I was on the same pool table playing with him. So where did he go within seconds? The guy simply disappeared.
Days later, I saw K on campus and asked him what happened the last time we were playing pool, in his words "It wasn't you guys the police were looking for, it was me. So I disappeared. I could see you guys but you guys couldnt see me. But I was there through the whole thing". K naturally doesn't talk too much, he just walked away after that. Till today, I still can't understand what happened.
Unfortunately K ended up dieing mysteriously. About 200 students went on an excursion to the beach in about 2 of the school buses. After having so much fun it was time to return to campus. Everyone could be accounted for except K. His gang members said no one was leaving the beach unless K was found. Everyone searched everywhere until it got dark. So we headed back to campus. His members sent some of theirs to the beach to continue searching for him and about three or four days later his body was seen by the beach with his eyes gone.
The only way I can comprehend this is that guy did so much jazz. How come he was the only one missing from over 200 students at the same beach with him. He always had his gang members around him for his security at all times. His gang members confirmed he wasn't swimming and had his clothes on. How then did he end up dead in the beach? I guess he was trying to do the same disappear trick he did at the snooker spot and ended up in the middle of the beach or something. Everyone else was at the shore of the beach, no one went deep in it. How did he end up there with his clothes on?
Another experience was in my HND days when two rival cult groups had a clash. We could all see them shooting at eachother right in front of our hostel. This particular dude was being shot at and the bullets wouldn't penetrate him. He was screaming loud 'try harder, try harder'. Every one could see it from their windows. Since the bullets wouldn't penetrate him, the rival group just rounded him up, laid him flat on the floor and busted his head with a huge piece of rock and left. That was the end of him. Everyone came out of the hostel to see his lifeless body and his brains right in front of the hostel. Why wouldn't bullets penetrate him if that's not jazz? No, he didn't have on any bulletproof vest.
Unless someone has another explanation, both cases I mentioned seem like jazz is real to me. This your school tough o. Na which poly abeg? |

Properties › Re: Alternative Building Material (expanded Polystyrene) by micfoley: 6:32pm On Apr 30, 2017 |
Teewhy2: It is best we look at in through out the building life cycle, because taking a particular stage say slab for example the cost difference might not look to fantastic but let say you want to do piling foundation or you are going beyond a floor you will appreciate the cost difference. That's when you plan to use it in slabs / parapet your building load would have been reduced and when the structural engineer is calculating the foundation, let say for example with concrete your load is about 500kg and the depth of your piling should be 15 meters, with polystyrene in some strategic places your load can reduced to like 300 kg and this will help reduce the depth of your piling say to like say 10-12 meters and sometimes reduce the piling points. If you compare what has been saved in the long run you will appreciate the cost difference and also reduce the pressure you are putting on the land especially when the place is a bit swampy or water logged. . Thanks for this explanation. I am presently on a project and am about to complete the foundation. Its a bungalow with atop two room penthouse on top. I am now considering using polystyrene for the slab for I have the belief it will take less time to set ie about 5 to 7 days compared to 3 weeks for conventional concrete. We did not plan to use it ab initio so we went ahead to do a normal German floor. My question is will it be more affordable compared to conventional concrete at this stage. I'm asking the same question regarding the parapet as well |

OK well done. We really need a cost comparison eg have you used .polystyrene. for decking ie slab before? If yes how much was saved from using conventional concrete alone? Same for parapet |
