All d best.

Great speech, may our leaders have d courage & fear of God to fulfill all ( or most) of their promises, amen.

Happy 51st independence to all Nigerians!

Spending N30M on the dead when the living cannot afford three square meal, very sad indeed. Used to think this Ajimobi guy is a mesiah, the chosen one, but unfortunately he's like his predecessor. Only God can save us from these hypocrites.

My greatest Alma mata. Electrical should get more o

Yes o! We need more Proffs in Elect. Engr'g and the Uni as a whole. Come to think of it, y are there less number of Proffs in Engineering compare to sciences? Just wondering.

I used to love my '02 Accord until d Gear box begins to mess up. Now I look for any slight opportunity to drive wifey's Toyota - chilling AC, smooth drive but higher response time.

^^^ you have a very good knowledge of block making bros,

Thanks my oga. What we know, we learnt from u. As long as u keep teaching us, we'll keep learning.

spyder880:

^^^^ good answer Ogogo24, but what if we add too many cement in the ratio, will it make the brown sand come out with whiter blocks? What do we think?

I doubt if that will work the magic. Another thing that might affect the color of the finished product will be d water used in molding. Using muddy water could affect the color too, I suppose.

spyder880:

@ za85, I wanted others to answer that question, can you help us, even if its a guess, let's make it interactive.

My guess, the white ones are made from pretty white sharp sand and the brown blocks from brown sharp sand. Correct?

@ Jumi07601. To process a C of O for a 100x100ft plot in the G.R.A area will involve the followings and cost implications;

1. Survey Plan - 4 copies
2. Title document i.e agreement  - 1 copy
3. Building Plan - 1 copy
4  3 passport photographs
5. Application fee  - 5, 000
6. Advert Fee  - 12,000
7. Town Planning inspection - 40,000
8. Assessment Fee  - 350,000
9. 9% of the cost of land
10. Stamp duty  - 30,000
11. Tax clearance certificate.

Please note that you need to submit only the photocopies of items 1 -3. Also, there is a 100k facilitation charge which i did not include. This is so because this cost is only for the person facilitating it as an 'egunje' for him.  I hope this helps you.

Please how much does processing of Governor's Consent cost in Edo state?

Thanks.

@ogogo24. To answer your second question, the building is having so much pillars for the simple fact of the parafett design that will be added to it before the roofing. The parafett is like an added load to the structure and this has necessitated the need to reinforce the building appropriately.

Spot on brother, carry go!

Coincidentally, Mr George surveyed my plot too. A piece of advice to those who'll be surveying their plots soon, try and be on site while it is being done, very very important.

Cheers.

@vitodorado, nice work u're doing here. I'm another prospective landlord in Benin, will be glad to learn along with u guys. I have a few questions though,

1) Is there any reason for using 6'' hollow blocks rather than d common 5'' solid block around here for a bungalow?

2) Y do u have so much pillars for a bungalow, are there loads other than the roofing the structure'll be carrying?

Thanks bro.

Eid Mubarak fellow brothers & sisters, may Allah make our feet firmer on the path of Al-Islam, Amin.

Hatred! That's all I c in all these posts. People can't reason logically because of deep-rooted hatred for Islam. It doesn't start today & neither will it end until the end of time.
But one thing is certain - Truth will overcome falsehood!

I feel you man!. You are absolutely right. If we want peace in our land, we should accommodate the less privileged. It is right to employ the best brains, but that should be for highly technical areas. Some jobs do not really need high IQ to perform. I have a friend who works in an oil firm (Adax), his duty is just monitoring the wheal heads and take the reading in the hydrometers installed there. Certainly that duty does not require top flight graduates, anybody can monitor wheal heads and read meters. The boy is getting a fat salary and bonus like other workers there. So less qualified graduates can be employed and given such rolls.

'Well head' brother, not 'wheal head'.

To my father my hero and mentor, to all single fathers, who go through the pain of bringing up their kids to the best of their abilities alone, to fathers jumping molue and risking okada rides everyday in search of the daily bread for the family, to all fathers and men who are abused daily by women, physically, emotionally and are never regarded as abused by the society, to fathers who show true love and commitment to their wife and family, i say a happy fathers day to you all, even though your responsibilities are many times overlooked by this modern world, your father in heaven see all.
GOD BLESS ALL FATHERS ON NAIRALAND!!!

I say amen to that!

pet4christ:

i do have to say that i am very impressed with the level of information exchange that goes on in here.i just joined and i am very much interested in knowing the difference b/w well workover and well completions technology.

With my little experience, Well Completions simply means bringing the well on stream for production. After successfully drilling a well, you install production string - ur tubings, completions packers etc, u run your perforating gun and perforate the well through the production casing and into the reservoir. Provided the pore pressure is high enough the well may begin to flow from downhole completion string through the wellhead/christmas tree and into the surface production facilities for processing/separation.

Workover operations on the other hand is done on already Completed wells. For instance if the production of a particular well declined, you might carry out a workover operation on the well to further stimulate the reservoir for production. Also in case of drilled, completed and abandoned wells, a workover operation may be carried out to change out some damaged downhole completion equipment and bring the well on stream.

I hope I have not succeeded in confusing u the more, lol

Cheers.
