This backwards stunt can never report/petition the activities of Fulani's herdsmen and Bandits to Dss, UK and United States !

The level of Intimidation going on right now, qualifies the Government to be called a Super Dictator.
Northerners are taking advantage of this #EndSARS crackdown by Buhari and his Fulani Jiahdist, to unleash further violence on Southerners, using State Security Agencies
Imagine, Boko Haram, Kidnappers, Bandits, killer Fulani Herdsmen dont get a mention but ordinary unarmed protesters are who they are pursuing with all their military strength?
Nigeria is not a country, Northerners cant keep trying to destroy the South, we wont allow this Genocide by Buhari to continue

Amitez:
He is on a wild goose chase. If a president is coming from SE, I can bet it is NOT AND CAN NEVER BE Umahi.
He is being advised to help the SW break PDP hold in SE and SW. Unufortunately those urging him on do not yet know that even come 2023, PDP will win both Imo and Ebonyi both governorship and presidency.

So you are saying the people of the SE are no longer interested in the Presidency coming to the SE, t[b]hey just want to Vote Atiku in PDP, so the North can have an additional 8yrs of the Suffering[/b] Southerners are facing under the current Herdsmen sponsor?

Hello House.

I have just finished doing the oversite on my foundation (German floor). 5" thick .

However I noticed , I will need some adjustment during block forming.

My question is, can a wall run outside of the foundation ground partition ? This is because I intend to steal a foot space .

Thanks

I always wonder whenever I see old people age range 50-70yrs living happily in this Nigeria, I feel like "how do they manage to make it work"!

Repatriating
I will speak from my business(Trucking) point of view. Not all businesses fail in this accept.
Take for example you invest:
Brand new truck @$54,800(including clearing)
Monthly return after running cost is ₦1.4m equivalent is $2,979
In 1year $2,979x12months= $35,748
In 2years $35,748x24months= $71,496
Therefore in 2years you repatriate $16,696, whiie you have actually recoup your investment another 1year you repatriate $35,748.
Making a total of $52,444 in 3years

For used Truck
@$31,255(including clearing)
Monthly return after running cost is ₦1.2m equivalent is $2,553
In 1year $2,553x12months= $30,638
In 2years $30,638x24months= $61,276
Therefore in 2years you will repatriate $30,021

NB. Breakdown was done with ₦470 to $1

You all asking for Price and Quantity of Materials in here, do you guys know there's something called a Quantity Surveyor?

Nigerians like shortcut and they usually get burnt for it.

In the Project design and Delivery phase there's something called a QS (Quantity Surveyor) who should produce an unpriced Bill of Quantities together with the Architect and the Client. That's what will be given to the contractor to Price and come up with a Cost of Construction either by bidding or by appointment.

Nigerians LEARN to use the right professionals and pay for their services. It'll save you a lot of headaches in the long run.

KolaShangOne:
He's not lying.

For a standard job, complete with columns, yes you will need to to that.

The laterite filling and DPC alone will cost about 450 - 550k.

Temi1:
Hello Builders,

I have an ongoing project in Arepo ready for decking. I need a competent engineer to handle the decking. Also what would be the costs / quantities of materials needed to do the decking?

Ahmeduana:
Just the way they feeds school children at home during lockdown.

For a President who contested and won election on the promise Zero Tolerance for Corruption, Buhari has taken LOOTING to the NEXT LEVEL.
They would spend 5% of that #142Billion on Almanjiri Children and Minister will loot the rest, nothing for Southern Nigeria
Looting that a Man can do, a Woman can do it better.

He said he would fight Insecurity but it so happens that he is the Grand Patron of Terrorist Fulani Herdsmen and insecurity is now normal security.

omenka:
Not to be outdone by a Kaduna lawmaker who distributed Donkeys to his constituents, an Anambra lawmaker has distributed Cassava stems to his constituents to the admiration of his people.

Details below...

Is it really worth the effort in the current disposition?
]After all the effort, Buhari's Cows will be brought to eat up all the Cassava and his terrorist Fulani Herdsmen will slaughter the farm owner. Why not first, give them guns to protect themselves and their farms from those rampaging Fulani Herdsmen?

jajeri3216:
Should i upload the video on YouTube and post it here?

I'm very grateful for your help.

Dijita:
Thank you and God bless.
My kobo kobo project is been handle by my sister and the husband who is a supplier. Thanks to this site and the professionals here I am educated and get help in cutting down on price quotations. Unlike in the beginning of the project where I was been told the price of things which I later discover to be way higher than stated, now I just quote the price I got from here and told them that if there supplier can't meet the price I will call my own guy to deliver at this price. I will then add extra money for effort. In this particular instance here I added 30k .
Just in case some people are wondering, I am not just taking I patronize people here as well. I got my architect from here and have done about#300,000 business with him. I hope to patronize others in the future

Well said, the problem with investing in Nigeria is uncertainty. Although this comes with the territory but Nigeria's level of uncertainty is times 1000x.

...........
I once had an idea together with some partners to start up a waste management style of company. Waste management is big company in the U.S and possibly multinational.

Got funding to start up, partners all lined up every thing all straightened out but the government authorities from state to the councilor, everyone wants to be settled, one even want in on the profit like a decent size cut, I thought he meant he wants to buy in as a partner but even as a local man like myself that grew up in 9ja, I was dumbfounded when he said, that’s his share. O boy, I was very furious which kind talk be that?? Are you normal?
Whenever I am in Nigeria, all I am seeing is money money opportunities opportunities but people are focused on "oyel" oil oil.

Waste management is multi billion dollar corporation in the U.S.

The uncertainty is just too much. The housing projects I am involved in, I just close eye to do it, the rate prices increases is just ridiculous!

House warming in this wonderful period when a bag of rice is greater than minimum wage .
I am just happy to escape next year rent.

EMMY76:
Yeye weed smoker he can't even build a befitting family house for his father's people in kenya.

He does not need to, he is not a Clan-head, he is a President!....... HE BUILT AMERICA.
He is not a Nigerian senator or President, that is what makes the difference.

They shouldn't leave this kind of dog with kids, from the look of things this dog must have lived with herdsmen.

TeeFriz:
In all honesty, it was too fast offering her rides to work every morning. Like it's not even up to 24hrs you have known this person. Some other ladies might not go direct but would definitely have it at their subconscious that you want something from them most def, maybe not now but definitely later.

He's a SIMP!
Woman-Wrapper. Na to collect Pant from her, carry go home go wash, iron and then return it to her

She asked the Perfect Question bro

No sane man will turn himself to an Uber driver every morning to please a lady you just met some minutes ago

Cus if she was a Male
You won't even see his hand when he wave

watchindelta:
This coach has been disgraciing us back to back, the same this coach make south Africa to beat us at home. I no no cha but for me the coach no good.

ShobayoEmma:
The persecution is getting more tensed, time to brace-up. God by our side, we will conquer.

Buhari, a good man with evil intentions.

We have Buhari and that midget in Kaduna, to thank for this relentless persecution of Christians, using foreign terrorist Fulani Herdsmen. They are not even hiding any more

MORE LOAN, MORE MONEY TO LOOT, BUT THE NEXT GENERATION WILL FEEL THE PAIN.
Somebody should beg this Buhari Govt to stop destroying this Country

How come 95% of all the Loans are spent on the North, while they expect the whole of Nigeria to repay or bear the burden of the loan?

aghaibiam:
I will be blessing my new home tomorrow.i am now the proud owner of a modest 4 bedroom bungalow.Thanks guys for all the free consultations.How do I move houses at minimum cost? Best bet would have been a nine eleven truck but there is no money for that.My house is 15 minutes away from my present address.

If Muslims marry at that age they are accused of child abuse, what are we calling this?

Hanty! Hope you have paid for the defamations the court ordered you against your ex husband, before coming here to spew trash.

Only 1 million naira? Mcteww

lilmonarch:
Why women always paint their exes as the devil is beyond me. Hardly will you see a woman that will admit she was the cause of the breakup in a her past relationship.

michlins:
Good evening everyone,, I hope you're all well. Attached is the progress made on the job oga Valencia2012 contracted me to do for him.

First picture is the concept

Subsequent photos are what I was able to do. I'm open to criticism and suggestions on how to improve


Kindly note that when on the ground, the pipes look out of position but when elevated, you see them line up as they should. I was able to raise it thanks much but the true position is far higher

ladyteeks:
Thanks so much for your help.
I am not an expert in building. Everything I have learnt is from nairaland.

I belive the blocks needed was overestimated, but QS femi and I are working together on it.

QSFemi:
I checked where I did the calculations again, the total blocks you need to the lintel level for the main building ground floor is 2731 blocks for 9-inch block while you need 914 blocks (9-inch) for the BQ and also 262 blocks (6-inch), also for the BQ.

In summary, the total blocks needed for the ground floor is 3907 blocks to the lintel level.
