Investment › Re: This Is Bad News For Fixed Deposit Holder by opalu: 3:53am On Oct 19, 2015 |
Why on earth would you fix money in bank and get 10% interest in the first place? Always tie your money to a rock-solid real estate development that will guarantee you 25% Interest. The reason is simple: With such investment you will SEE the value that your money has created in terms of physical structures there is no way your money can varnish into thin air thru a policy made by CBN as in deposit or varnish thru on speculation by some people as in shares and bonds. |

childcare: Good day Opalu, I need to do a soil test to determine the type of foundation required for a 1 story building (four 3-bedroom flats) on a swampy land. Below are the 2 options that I have from two different soil test engineers. 1 borehole test and four 2.5 ton CPT. This costs less and the engineer is saying that I do not need a 10 ton CPT since he is doing a borehole test. 1 borehole test and four 10 ton CPT. This costs more cause of the 10 ton CPT. Based on your professional experience, which of the the two would you advise I go for. Am tempted to go for the cheaper one. Borehole test is called Standard Penetration Test (SPT). It investigates deep down into the soil up to 30 metres (like the height of 10 storey buildings inside the ground). The borehole test is good for very bad soils esp those requiring piles. The test also helps the owner of the land to confirm that his building will or will not require pile foundation etc. on the other hand, the one you call CPT is Dutch Cone Penetrometre Test (DCPT). It is faster and cheaper. It goes to like 3 m depth and more or less. Your answer : with a borehole and 2.5ton CPT, you don't need 10ton CPT. But you can do it to satisfy your conscience. But i speak as someone who do or interprete these tests daily for clients. Thanks |

Elephant cement also have the one they call 'Superset'. However the Mix ratio is what we should really be focused on (provided it Is not the 32.5 Dangote Cement  ). For several decades grade of Cement has never been an issue until some persons brought that in. |
