esoorita: Mr. Esoorita, we can pray and hope as much as we want; there is always going to be a cyber-attack or attempt of such. But to actually see that the last good backup of the famous Nairaland goes back to Jan. 10 (almost 6 months), is not a good thing, and my faith is really shaken.. We will never get 100% replacement of what has been lost unless Nairaland restored it. Note: Thank you Spyder880 for your attempts at restoring the older pictures, but this may proof to be fulltime job for you. Hajji Mufutau |

In sites we could find them, I always prefare the 'double star' brand of iron rods manufactured in Ota Ogun state by Federated steel products. They are usually more expensive and many dealers shy away from bringing them. I secured them for this site at a premium.
