Nigeria doesn't have sewer system. You don't want stagnant water in your compound

This IMO is a common issue with all the BioDigester alternatives being pushed here lately. I've asked before and did not receive satisfactory response.

Considering you are planning to discharge the effluent from the BioDigester into public gutters (as, we have no sewers), how much testing has gone on to guarantee the quality of the effluent, and what certification has been given to permit this?

It's no use waving a hand and saying it will be ok. As a responsible home owner, if you're adopting this technology, you should be concerned about this as well. Typhoid is a major problem already.

Thanks a lot. It's an old building that we bought. We actually don't have anythingto do with the family. We paid the community leader 20k and the area boys collected 50k when demolished the old building about 2 years ago . We will give them something but it will not be near what they are asking for. We have provisional approval from the planning ministry plus a registered survey from the state governments. We are trying to process the CofO to enable us secure final planning approval but then we are about starting foundation work. It's a crazy set up in Lagos. Civil servants also collected money here and there for the planning approval. LIRS demanded 1.5 million tax money at a time but we were able to use high level government contact to side step that. This is also because we have 3 years tax clearance from another state.

If you have a LandCrusier Prado and a Toyota Hilux or rent one (2014 model upwards)..

Clean shave if you have beards. Go with 4 to 5 military guys..

Don't leave me! But I think he has met with them already n they probably know who he is gangan.

Besides, I was in dire need of some1*12 boards yesterday morning around ologuneru, Ibadan n it's unfortunate touring almost all plank sellers there and non has anything wide close to 10inches.
Had to just buy due to the urgency n couldn't wait for my bodija supplier to send down.

In my opinion, creating a 'Scammers list' will help notify people of who is a criminal and this is a good idea to at least prevent and also reduce these shameful and deceitful occurrences.

We are laughing over this matter because we haven't lost money to a vendor.

I see all these as 'simple fraud' that is not too different from what we already know. So its not worth wasting pages for.

Madam, you have really tried to educate people. If possible you can create a thread with emphasis on 'Scammers in property section'. Just like the one in business section.

I usually use the 'search' option before I engage any vendor, but not every member is aware not to talk of non-members of this platform.

Thank you.
The scammer list will work, I started reading the whole ish from like the previous 10 pages and I can sincerely feel Somehow.

Pain of willingly sending out your money for a project and still struggling hard to get value for the money sent and the vendor is not willingly to do the needful.

I am in such situation and I even created a thread for it, my own na even CAR, Car wey I pay for since 2020 ! Today is 2022 and it is all stories.

If only there is a way to warn other customers ahead! Other customers not to fall for the same mistakes I did.

Yes, I support the scammer list

Do you know what chemical that was? Just like the tobacco companies have not closed down because of cancer, the soft drinks companies have not closed down because of diabetes, so it’s not surprising that asbestos is still being produced. Forget the big names behind it.

The truth is that particles from asbestos inherently cause COPD and they could also lead to cancer
The only reason people still use is because they last longer when used for outdoor kitchen area and bakery that is prone to heavy smoke and humid.

The chemical itself is the asbestos... They no longer use asbestos as the binding element, they now use cement. But it is still called asbestos based on the old name.

Thanks for this information. I am just concerned because Nigeria is not one of the 66 countries worldwide that banned the use of asbestos in building materials.

They have replaced the asbestos fiber used in making those roofing sheets with cellulose fibers so that shouldnt be a concern anymore.

The major concern is from those removing the old asbestos roofing sheets during renovation/demolition. I have seen a site where the sheets were removed,crushed and used as rubble on the ground.

My bosses in the house took those words already from my mouth before I could reply you sir, they now use cellous and cement but we just still call it asbestos, that is why we still have Nigerite, like oga registerin pointed out

This what we must condemn or educate whoever we see doing this mentioned in quote above, destroying the old ones, by act of crushing it and using it as rubble's on the road, some resident will be happy, some will even be thanking the person that did it, not knowing, that person doing such a thing unknowingly to him or herself as well is polluting and exposing that environment to cancer, and this act should be totally condemn and stop, this an eyes openers, kudos to the bosses above me for sharing this @stopthecap

Good afternoon my amazing people.

Thank you for always providing us with helpful advice.

Please, I need advice about a water tank stand. I have power showers in my house and the plumber suggested that I should make the stand 14ft because of pressure.

When I contacted my welder he said it will cost me 280k to get it done. The issue is I don't plan to spend that huge amount on a storex stand.

When I asked around, some people said I should use the normal height and use a pressure pump.

Please, what do you suggest I do to cut cost and still achieve enough pressure and water stand durability.

Thanks
We spent more on concrete tank stand, I preferred the concrete (fully casted) for a storey building compared to the welder built one.

Good day house,

After much deliberation a tank stanchion has been decided.

My welder quoted for a 40ft stand and the price sent shockwaves down my spine.

Please help look at the quote, I believe it can be achieved for less. And I know @michlins isn’t based in lagos, I would have contacted him for the job.

Makes sense. The septic tank is actually made from 'glass fiber reinforced plastic fiber and unsaturated polyester resin' according to the manufacturer. Anyway, even if we had a sewer system, I guess the actual cost of constructing biodigester systems in the conventional ways we do it here at the moment is not so high as to warrant importing ready made ones. If you get my drift.....

I am weary/skeptical of fiberglass plumbing materia. My shower pan that is made of fiberglass cracked after few years of usage.

Also be careful with the adoption of technology that will create problem. Nigeria doesn't have sewer system. You don't want stagnant water in your compound
