Happy holidays to everyone out there. I'm glad that we can now agree that whether you buy online or offline, due diligence is required.
Personally, I prefer to buy my phone charger from Nairaland and pay 2k for shipping because I believe the seller will hate my negative comment on his thread should he sell fake. Most online sellers sell with the barest profits because we intend to sell many and fast too.
And please crime isn't unique to one tribe. I don buy phone from oyibo man and it was icloud locked. I sent someone to get him to unlock it and he was robbed.


Once again, enjoy your holidays and learn from the experience and others

BOOOMNAIJA:
LOOKS TOO IGBOTIC FOR MY LIKING...TUEH!

don't end this year like this. You need a good woman and money in your life

omanzo02:
There is always a cheaper version of expensive and redistribution of wealth. My understanding of the market is you pay the excess for the premium names and not it quality. Here we have laboratories/test centres that test cheaper products against expensive premium and the results are always alarming. Surprise! The cheaper products always performed better and gets higher marks than the expensive ones. They do this to avoid producers/brands from misleading the consumers/public that their products is the best.
Why should I buy a Versace jacket when an Oakwood can do the job to keep me warm?

why wear oakwood when there's #1,000 doing same job perfectly.

I don't know about others,if I can afford that versace, I will wear it. You see this life,it has no duplicate. The first I check is this, can I comfortably afford it

yemi2plus:
Good morning family.

I am new to the property section and this is my first post here.

Please, I am more familiar with measurements in feet. I want to purchase a land and it's in square metres.

What's 500 Square meters in feets? I will also know how to do the conversion.

Thanks.

good morning. When you want to convert to inches, multiply the meter size by 39 and divide by 12 which is the value of 1ft. When it's in feet, you first convert to inches and then divide by 39

Capras Delusion

Capras Delusion, named after Joseph Capgras, a French psychiatrist who was fascinated by the illusion of doubles, is a debilitating mental disorder in which one believes that the people around them have been replaced by imposters. Furthermore, these imposters are usually thought to be planning to harm the sufferer. In one case, a 74-year old woman with Capgras Delusion began to believe that her husband had been replaced with an identical looking imposter who was out to hurt her. Capgras Delusion is relatively rare, and is most often seen after trauma to the brain, or in those who have been diagnosed with dementia, schizophrenia, or epilepsy.

most IPOB members suffer from this ailment.

The jubril theory

If we keep this mindset, there will be no redistribution of wealth.
If you can afford those expensive stuff,buy it and use. But don't do it to impress anyone. When the rich people decides to be stingy, how can the poor get some of the welath

Godisgreatest1:
Good evening all, please can you park a car over a 'biodigester'?

a car park for two cars is 18ft wide. I don't know how it will be a problem for a bio-digester

sinorte:
Please what is the cost of erecting a 7.5meters high 6ft by 6ft platform to hold two 1200liters tanks, suspended one on the other?

that's approximately 30ft there and should serve one storey building perfectly (kind of an over build). If you're going to use H channels, I will advise that you use 5 by 3 for the stands and 3 by 1½ for the load beans. Budget 550-600k depending on your location.

Adabekee04:
I am from uruagu
Ooh! There’s a mall at roundabout? Never knew
I haven’t visited the Roban stores . I am not around at the moment

ok anytime you're around, just holla and we might visit together

Adabekee04:
Seriously it is annoying. But Nnewi is very small in terms of land scale. Building this things in Nnewi will cause a big loss to majority
Lol! Beside they just gave us Rohan Stores

I didn't know there are lots of Nairalander (s) who stay in Nnewi. Which side you dey.

Btw that Rohan stores is almost off from the town. That mall at round about is the best situated mall

Niyeal:
Staged

inside life

The students who are beneficiaries of his kindness know better.


I have a belief, instead of you not showing an act of kindness, do it even if na for the gram. The beneficiary will always be happy even if it's just for the moment.

People are quick to condemn others for posting their acts of kindness on the internet meanwhile these people are so stingy that dog no see their shit eat

BlackBaron:
Nigerian industrialists always picking the easiest option.
Let's all build cement factories, spaghetti factories and refineries cos that's the only thing we need. They'll sell quite alright, but the lack of thinking outside the box continually astounds me.

bro you are a Nigerian. You can start building your own dream industries and manage it in this economy.


Why is it so easy for people to criticize the work of another without being able to lift a finger. Do you know what $1bn he's investing means anywhere in the world?

stasius:
They are coming up gradually. You can go to GMART or ROBAN. Don't worry bigger ones are coming soon. .
They would have been boasting of big Nnewi mall now but them no gree. Project was abandoned as you can see at roundabout.
But Nnewi is coming up gradually. So chill.

Nnewi lands are already booked to maximum. Where can you find about fifteen plots that's not already under development.

That round about project was abandoned because the true land owners weren't contacted

cjfbn:
Good day house,
Is there anything or a device I can use to re-inforce my door to prevent a breach.

yes sir. First of all, when buying the door, ensure you purchase something with strong and durable material. Secondly, you can get a protective gather in front of the door to added security, thirdly, ensure that the keys and hinges are of high quality.


Finally, always remember that all these won't stop a determined thief from gaining entrance but will only suffer him or her.

The door before is twice more expensive than a normal door because of the selection of materials. Same goes for the key, hinges and bolt. One good thing about this hinges is that it doesn't have that noise known for local ones which is also in the picture below

ty01:
I really really love your works as displayed on this forum. But that distance is a tough one for me, given the site is in Lagos. Maybe we can plan it properly and work something out on my next project, God willing. Compliments.���

I don't know the exact locationin Lagos but if it's possible for a truck to get there, I will be there with my team and execute your job. Let's discuss and iron out the issues, I can do it

Unfortunately, Nnewi can NEVER have this type of development.

If I tell you that I don't miss such amenities, know say I dey lie. If you no dey beer parlor for Nnewi,na your house you go dey

Who go cubana these people now

neduboo:
But if dangote cement is hoarding their product by creating scarcity in order to inflate the price. What about other cement makers like Elephant, Ibeto and others.

The difference in their price with Dangote cement is not more than #200.

Ibeto is currently the major dealer of BUA cement here in Nnewi. He's yet to build a quarry in Nigeria and there's a ban on importation of cement. I heard he's building on in Nkalagu but hit a roadblock because of revenue sharing formula between the owners of the land and him.


Kindly take this information with a pinch of salt because it's street story and nothing is confirmed

And the gate is hanged awaiting the pillars

Good morning and happy Sunday to everyone. Well I just received this images from the site of our own who ordered this gate. The video is just so funny but it's captioned in Igbo language.


The last image is the sample while the first three are my mine

doggedfighter:
Ebonyi doesn't need all these flyovers.

Empower the people. Human capital development is much needed.

The people are still poor.



Ebonyians will jump in here and tear me apart but I don't care.

infrastructure is part of human capital development. Set up the right infrastructure and watch private sector take up the rest. If Anambra had all these things in place,we won't be in this condition. Have you been to Onitsha and seen how haphazard it is even with billions exchanging hands almost every hour

merieam16:
Nothing happened with their growing up, they just allowed wat they see and read change their mentality and they never knew wat they read or hear are hypocritical

they will talk all trash meanwhile they can't talk shit face to face with any woman

You know I can do wrought rails and e no go tear pocket

I don't know if it's my eyes but I can't just focus on the image. Dude is talented

EgunMogaji2:
1) I started welding practically two weeks ago. As with anything I do I’ll master it no doubt. I’m not doing too bad.

2) I’m already using binding wire and sometimes electrodes stripped off.

3) I’ll never use body filler on my projects. That’ll be like putting lipstick on a pig.

4) 120 ke? I’ve never went above 80.

I weld with 150 and above lols

You need to improve on your welding. First reduce the machine power to something like 120 and get yourself a binding wire. It will help you.

You will still need to smoothen the surface very much before applying the body filler

Beautiful story and you're a lucky chap.


To y'all shouting simp, I don't know what happened with you growing up. Maybe your dad was beating your mom and you grew up hating women but it's no one's fault.

jabolo:
Where we differ is I'll send him to school as his primary focus if I choose to help.

this is internet where I can claim to be a philanthropist but different in reality. I can't promise anyone that. If I have the resources, I will further my education and graduate as an economist. I will save myself first before trying to save another person

n3xt:
During the lockdown, I trained over 2000 young people in sub-Sahara Africa including my 9 and 10 yo kids. It’s sad to see graduates who do not know what the future holds and uneducated artisans earning big.
The Covid19 lockdown exposed a lot.

I taught my kids how my make custom lights and DIY chandelier (picking up the parts and coming up with bespoke designs). I also engage them in 90% of my DIY projects. They now understand concrete mix design.

We’d be fine if stop pretending everything is well with Africa.

In Nigeria, every man is a democracy of its own. You build your own road; sink your borehole; design your own life; generate your own power supply; sponsor your own education. The government only tax you for it.

______
Today, a lot of all these young guys are earning far more than most people on collar jobs. I’m talking about skilled ones and not the ones flooding every site with adverts “I’m a carpenter. Pls try me. ”

the funny thing is that we all see these kids and do nothing to help them.
These kids deserve education but since they can't get it, let them take up the next best thing available. It's a cat race here and everyone is trying to outrun poverty. Some already across the line but millions are yet to even start a race.

I went with my friend to his village in Ebonyi State,as we were going,a small boy of around 8 was begging my friend to take him with him because he's tired of staying in the village with zero prospect. At that time, I was still engaged with my boss. If not, I will take that boy immediately and teach him my job. Child labor consequences be damned

jabolo:
Is there a shortage of young adults that you would choose an 8 year old child to come and work for you?

Society owes that child an education, not hard labor at this age. And, yes, Society includes you.

You almost sound proud of the fact you are employing an 8 year old.

'Sentimentality' should not be a dirty word here. Would anyone not feel sentimental when they think for a moment it was their own child?

You are breaking the law.

point out where I said I have an eight years old under my employ.

Society failed him and he choose to take up his own destiny

omooba969:
Why can't they (husband's family) look within and find someone in their immediate family to blame for a motor accident prolly caused by over-speeding/reckless driving.

Very easy to blame it on someone else's child.

Yeye dey smell.

you don't want your sister to be in her shoes believe me. That marriage already has a problem

diordaves:
An eight year old child should not be fiddling with electrod, sparks, cutting and grinding tools.

There's a solution already. [b]The child should go back to school to acquire basic education to a minimum of JSS level and can then learn a trade in a safe structured environment IF proven to be struggling with academic learning.[b/]

Child labour and exploitation is real. There's the United Nations convention against child labour and exploitation to which Nigeria is a signitory.

My eight years old boy will not "learn work" but go to school. I wish same for all children particularly Africa children No under age labour on my site and I will not buy any product I'm aware is made from/by child labour.

Every child has an unqualified (human) right to education to SSS level.

It is sad to read here such lackadaisical attitude to child labour.

As a business owner, not encouraging child labour is part of your Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). This is part of what you give back to society.

will you be willing to sponsor the education. At least he's better than those ones begging on the streets. Five years time and he will be hustling for jobs and taking care of his bills.
