So did you get the average few from the 200 million Nigerians to come to your conclusion? Just your house and views from your small inner circle made u come to the conclusion?? . Na wa oo!

It's impossible to get the views of 200 million people. Hence why conclusion can be drawn from a reasonable sample of individuals from different works of life.

omoharry:
Oga, where did you get your statistics from? what informed your conclusion that 4 out of 5 Nigerians have rejected the Vaccine?

Conclusion was from personal experience interacting with people from different works of life. Even within my immediate family of 8, only myself and 1 sibling agreed to take the vaccine.

How exactly do you even blame the west for not vaccinating people who have sworn never to be vaccinated? Last time I checked, 4 out of 5 Nigerians I've spoken to have sworn never to take the covid vaccines, saying it is useless and a ploy to kill them. How exactly do you force vaccination on people who have rejected it?

In construction there are many consideration when it comes to finishings and aesthetics; most times these finishings or aesthetic appeals is not the decision of the engineers to make.

Seeing vertical gaps or a different material in the middle of a seemingly single round columns will not appeal to majority of users of such structures with little or no knowledge why they should be there in the first place.
Probably, a decision was taken to conceal the gaps in other not to create panic in the minds of users or to create a sense of uniformity with other columns; this decision will in no way affect the structural integrity, functionality of the columns or the structure and most engineers will allow it.

haha... unfortunately that decision has just turned out to be a nightmare. The users would definitely have been more confident if the say an evenly split column than what the see now which looks like a cracked pillar.

i may be forced to believe, but nay.
this is not an expansion joint.
an expansion joint is meant ot have a slight opening in between or a thin strip of metal/wood can be inserted inside it depending on the kind of structure.
but in this case, it is just like a casted column with o expansion.
i Know vividly that over there in the western regions, you can have an expansion joint and it will not be noticeable depending on the design but this is definitely not an expansion joint.
pls don't be deceived and tread with caution if you always go towards that axis.

Look at the floor, you will see the position of the gap as it passes inbetween the pillars. What I dont understand though is why they tried to plaster seal the gap on the pillars and also paint them.

Given the clearly visible gap on the floor, I believe this is definitely an expansion joint, but what I dont understand is why they should plaster up and paint the pillars all round. Why not use an elastic substance or even just leave the gap open?

With a little expansion over time, the partition on the pillars now clearly look like cracks and you cant blame anyone for being worried.

@Civil Engineers, are expansion joints meant to be plastered and painted?

He was in handcuffs and that means one thing; he was probably caught/arrested alive, and then later extrajudicially shot dead by the police.

dasparrow:
I hope Buhari is listening because Buhari has also borrowed a lot of money from China and continues to borrow. I always knew that China giving African countries all this loans was to take over African countries and colonize it again. I don't know why the African man has no brain. What a shame.

Nigeria currently owes China less than $5bn, an amount ehich even Lagos state can pay if things get rough. Why should anyone even go take a loan with intention not to pay back?

But It's so sad to see many people clinging to the old ways of doing things even if it's killing them financially

Well, a lot of people (even on this thread) believe mobile calls are clearer; if only they knew that their problem was their network. All mobile networks in Nigeria now have 4G data services but many people still have the older 2g sim cards (and some even use 2g phones).

airsaylongcome:
Naaah. NCC won't move against VoIP calls. It's operating across loads of businesses in Nigeria (plus na him I dey take chop so make dem no ban am abeg)

Lol... whoever believed they could ban twitter in NigeriA? Now it's even a forgotten issue; many people have even dumped VPNs and just abandoned twitter altogether. UAE banned whatsapp calls some years ago, you cant make whatsapp calls in dubai. I no trust Nigerian govt,; all it would take is for telcos to bribe people in govt and boom! We would have to start using VPNs to make whatsapp calls

Etuagievin:
WhatsApp call is not as efficient and smooth like signal call. When you call with signal it's like the receiver is physically with you , talking right into Ur ears. The response/ feedback is swift.

As long as you have a good internet network, Whatsapp calls are actually far far clearer than mobile calls. To enjoy the best network though, you may need to have a 4g phone, a 4g sim card (most people still use their older 2g simcards which means they cant enjoy the faster 3g or 4g network speeds provided by their network providers).

Crystalom3:
I think it'll be more cost efficient for everyone to switch to internet calls.

They are less expensive and for the most part more stable than regular phone calls.

Internet calls of 30 minutes cost less than N50 while video calls of the same length cost less than N100.

Regular phone calls cost twice as much. For N100 you might not think much about it but instead of spending N1k you are spending N2k and instead of N10k recharge, you are spending N20k on the average.

Internet calls not only is cheaper but will solve the problem of double recharge. Nowadays we spend more to buy data. After that, we still recharge for regular airtime to use for phone calls.

Internet calls cuts that cost by almost 90%.

I think it's better if we can adopt this as a trend and use regular phone calls for emergencies.

Please keep your voice down; these are the kind of posts that will make Buhari ban whatsapp calls very soon. The Telcos might even bribe NCC to ban VoIP calls if Buhari fails to do so. Please allow us to quietly enjoy our much clearer and cheaper whatsapp calls in peace.

I wanted to say this would be the most foolishly conceived scheme by any government, but then I remembered the people ruling us aren't exactly fools; they know exactly what they're doing.

MiaBeer:
The petition was not removed Here’s the link:
https://www.change.org/p/international-criminal-court-petition-for-president-buhari-to-be-charged-before-the-icc-for-crimes-against-humanity

My point wasn't really whether the petition was removed, I was just saying the wordings of the petition created by Reno sounded too partisan, and that watered down it's value. By the way, the link you posted is different from the one created by Reno, this one reads much more mature and objective. The one by Reno has actually been removed (either by CHange.org or by Reno himself).

BeardedMeat:
You are trying too hard to dissociate yourself from the BMC tag. Resist the urge to shalaye

...but you aren't even trying at all to dissociate yourself from the mumu tag; you probably embraced it cos you know your case is irredeemable... Sorry oo!

BeardedMeat:


Eat shii, a million flies can't be wrong!

This fella is already high from too much excreta..

BeardedMeat:
Idiots like you will always exist in Nigeria and they are bane of the zoo. Keep riding, you will soon land in a ditch of no return.
Little monkeys everywhere!

Your foolishness has already landed you in that filthy ditch. You will only keep wishing that others fall in the stinking laterine you find your sorry self. Go and receive sense, go and learn manners!

BeardedMeat:
People like you is the reason why African leaders act with brazen impunity. Hiss.

Obviously, if you had even the tiniest bit of wisdom in your head, you would have understood what I and @Lemmy123 were saying that the wordings of the petition by Reno made it sound too political.

BeardedMeat:
See this one. By force BMC.

Idiots will always exist on the face of the earth. If there were any working cells in your rotten brain, you would have understood that the petition was rubbished with partisan sentiments when Reno tagged it "Protest against police brutality of Buhari regime".

If wisdom was applied, or if the petitioner had wisdom at all, he should have known that when you start politicising a critical issue such as police brutality, you water down the value of your petition. What does Reno mean by "Police Brutality under Buhari Regime"? Apparently police brutality or SARS brutality started on the 29th of May 2015?

PrinceOfLagos:
This is the road that leads to governor hope uzodinma village in Orlu , Imo state .

In front of this shameful and deadly bad road is Catholic diocese of Orlu (Regina Pacis Parish , Ihioma)

If hope uzodinma cannot fix Orlu , then he cannot fix Imo state .

Imo people deserve better

Imo people don't deserve this calamity of a governor to lead them

I visited my mom's village in Imo state today from Lagos, so I asked someone to drive me round , only to see this bad road the governor of imo state, hope uzodinma has neglected .

It is unfortunate.

Not defending Uzodimma but what's so unique about this road?... Is there a single state in Nigeria that doesnt have about 50 roads worse than this one?

Leybari:
Mumu! But you said no one was killed..

Did he actually say rhat?

Bad govt policy about to bury a dying marriage!

StayMotivated:
If only Nigeria had a visionary man like this as our President. It's a pity we are stuck with a clueless man as our President.

Because he started an airline, that automatically makes him visionary and presidential material?

kovic7:
Fake lekki shootings/massacre have vindicated the FG....
DJ switch is a bloody liar. Inasmuch as I don't like this FG or police brutality, so far, nobody has been able to clearly prove that there was actually a massacre....
Mr Macaroni is GOLD though.. proper example of an activist.... 10000 times better than kpomo lips Deji Afeyanji

Sometimes when people say these things, I just wonder whether they actually have a gun pointed to their heads to warrant these kind of silly utterances.

If she truly threw a mug at him, why should I crucify him for responding violently? Cos he's a man or cos he's a student or cos he's young?

Violence begets violence! Both parties were unruly and one got the shorter end of the stick.

Chibuzor45:
I will also like to know where the person is going to do the PCR test when they arrive in Nigeria and what date will be okay to do the test since the person is spending only 7 days here in nigeria?

From what I know, when you land in NIgeria, you're meant to do the test on Day 7 after you land. And if you're to fly out of Nigeria, most countries require the test to be done at least 72 hours before your departure. SO if the person will be staying for just 7 days, the only important test would be the one to be done 3 days to departure; i.e. on the 4th day after you land.

THere're several clinics where they do the PCR test in Nigeria, you can find them online. I did mine at a place called Coolspring Medical, they have a location at Ajao estate lagos and another at V.I.

Chibuzor45:
what about someone that's spending only 7 days in nigeria, is he/she required to do a pcr test in nigeria and another one while travelling back to their country?

I think you still have to still do the PCR test. But since you only get to spend 7 days, you only need to do one test in Nigeria, which will be sufficient for you to fly back to your country.

Why you dey curse JUDE now?

My guy, I no call anybody name oo... I no know the full/inside story so I no fit blame anyvody.

Not exactly my business but I'm not sure why this report gives me great joy. I still just can't figure out the basis for siblings quarrelling and fighting, twins for that matter! The devil is a bastard!

Deji was obviously just being sarcastic in that tweet; more like mocking the foolishness of IPob and their tyrannical sit at home nonsense. Surprising that no one commenting in this thread noticed that.
