Not a good time for Nigerians all over.



Its well

How he be a kingpin when he is using 1 par?

Last time I checked small boys for p-town dey carry ak47

Army calling him a kingpin is funny.

Many christians don't understand this restitution of a thing. The only man that did restitution in the new testament was Zacheus and Jesus christ didn't force him to do so. Jesus christ didnt suggest it to it him. He didnt command him to do so. He did it willingly because he was so happy the day Jesus came to his house dine with him.

Why was he over joyous because he had longed to see Jesus. a short man who had tried to meet Jesus one on one many times but could not. And the moment he tried to do something surprising Jesus saw him and told him he would come and dine in his house.

Now my question gies thus. An armed robber that has stolen cars and defrauded people of their valuables and later repented, how do you want him to return all those cars he stole at gun point after becoming a born again. May cars and other valuables have been stolen by armed robbers on the highways so how do you want them to return all these things to the people they dont even know?

Many people were big liars before they gave their lives to Jesus so how do you want them to remember the people they lied to and go back to them to make restitution thaf they lied to them sometime if you can remember the sin and it's in your power then you make restitution.

Don't understand y'all. Make u feel like rag? Seriously! Why? Jesus said come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy Laden, I will give you rest. Must u be made to feel like rag again. U pple are the problem of Christianity, fanaticism, overzealousness, hypocrisy and the urge to reduce the next person to nothing with the aim dt u're doing it for God. God send una reach like dt? Mtcheeeeewwwwwww

Sermwell:
Bro I can tell you authoritatively that I live a good life! I don't steal, I don't fornicate, I don't kill or cheat someone, I don't keep malice, I don't backbite etc....I just keep wondering what else do they want to tell me in church when other so called christains don't even have such qualities as I do I just give up

femlex:
Thanks Brother,

Thanks for the advice, I really do appreciate, It is not a construction sector, but in an NGO sector. Thanks

Loomps as my triper Drivers call it, is a sizable stone that is used for dpc before the dpc concrete slab. It also serves as a reinforcement. It should be "rump stone" anyway.

I am an avid reader of nairaland, more like a silent reader, but I am compelled to reply to this topic, as this is one of the major reason for break ups and divorce.
Nigerian women are scammers, well not all of them. They work hard in keeping their body shape and manners and as soon as they get married and have kids, you see their true colours.
They become fat, uninterested in satisfying their husbands and garrulous. Christianity also help them in perpetrating this fraud since the man has been indoctrinated into thinking marrying more than wife is a sin, whereas it's not.
Any woman who fiddles while her husband gets neglected sexually deserves the blow back arising from this grave error.
My advice to you is to start "Piping" external congos and relieve the pressure on your wife, when she realises that she has been relegated like Newcastle, then she will work hard into getting promoted back to the Konji premier league.

the dpm used in this project is a sizeable loomp stone. I also made a very high foundation as one of the best ways to control damp.

ojun50:
well she should dress decent, simple make up and some gift along like fruit, she should relax her self wen she get there nd she should expect questions too

PUSIDRILA:
Great!! After seeing this foto the price of fuel in my area just dropped to N65 per Litre.

Lol.. "they wont want you to derail their company"

Political Construction Companies are the ones responsible for most of failed Federal Govt Borehole projects.

Tell us more about a political construction company.

It isnt always construction failures. Laymen tend to blame collapse on construction failure and use of poor quality materials. But we civil engineers know that most building collapse is as a result of lack of soil test data, no prior structural analysis and design done by a competent structural engr.

Ours is a country where we praise people who build blindly in the fraud of building by experience. Structural design prescibes the medicine needed to cure the disease of structural failure in the life span of the structure , this prescription states the exact size and arrangement of structural members, the grade of construction materials for the computed forces, bending and torsional moments the structure would undergo in its design life. The prescription is usually the most economic and safest solution and is contained in a document known as structural detailed drawing. It is with this document that the site engr is supposed to construct the building, any deviation without a written approval of the design engr makes the site engr culpable in the event of a structural failure. At least that is what is obtainable in saner climes but in ours you hear such rubbish like "na so we take build the other one and e dey stand" This is rubbish because no two structures are the same except they are an exact replica, sometimes a smaller structure is even more critical than a large one. Overseas buildings of over 100yrs old are still standing. It is embarrassing when nations build a hundred storey structure without any sad tale meanwhile in our nation a single storey building collapses, it makes us look like we are a joke.

So if you ask me to rank the causes of building collapse, i would say

1, Absence of soil test data and prior structural design.
2. Lack of regulation and on ground supervision by COREN. COREN is abt the most toothless dog i know
3. Quackery or absence of a civil engr on project(most folks who parade themselves as engrs are not engrs, let alone civil engrs)
4. Deliberate use of poor quality materials inorder to make astronomical gains.
5. Incompetence(a good number of engrs are incompetent)
6. Hijacking of engineering projects by politicians, if you have worked in one of such you would know these guys dont care about doing things the right way.
7. Civil engineering is academically tasking and the real reading starts when you start practicing, unfortunately the pay isnt commiserate unless you are self employed. Even worst the society doesnt appreciate competence, often times we want competence and ridiculously cheap service, something only a quack can offer. Moreso, a good number of engrs were mentored by quacks and dont improve themselves or read, so the nations engineering capacity is largely a joke.

My advice to civil engr undergrads is dont fall for the lie that all those equations and theories you are being taught in school are meaningless and have no real life application. Every single one of them matters. When you graduate, you would wish you had known better, depending on if you are lucky to practice true engineering. Moreso work hard to bridge the gap between theories and preal life applications. We need you to, it is a mess out here. We need more competent engrs to help redeem the engineering sector.
