A lot of people were swearing and cursing on social media sometims back when 2face was spotted wearing a 1.5 million naira snickers. But you can't blame him, he worked hard for his money, he has the right to spend it.

Arise Nigeria!

As far as in me lies, oil wells should be capped in this country. Oil has deadened our brain.

We need to wake up!

In a poor country, the jobless/unemployable/fortunate are using almost $1k smartphones and riding $1m dollar cars. People who cannot solve a simple Quadratic equations, whose country cannot manufacture a radio say they cannot use Chinese phone (which comes with bluetooth, TV/Radio, flashlight, GPS and of course other telephone functionalities).

Yet our country has a satellite which is 100% Chinese!

Think. Exist. Live.


I am a gadget guy too but I've learnt over time that it doesn't really matter.

Just look at the pics below. See the cheap phones they were using. Check the deskphone (ordinary analogue) not even the Cisco IP or MiTel Phones. They have what it takes to build one of the most expensive phone company in the world yet the choose to go simple.

Please, anyone with an idea of where I can get metal roof gutter like these?

Go to galvanized steel market or fabricators. If in Lagos, there are lot of these guys on Sango-Otta, Iyana Ipaja area. I really don't know more of this areas but I knew exactly where I get such.

I'm sure you still use a gadget, that's why you were able to make this comment. I'm not advising anyone to spend all their earnings on a smart phone, i'm only saying if you love it like and can afford it then go for it.

Dangote and Otedola are probably from 1950s or 60s, so they grow up without smartphone, social media or internet.
I'm sure if they were from our generation they'll probably use the best gadgets in the market.

Meanwhile, I met this guy (a rugged Naija carmaker in Ajah yesterday. The construction of the ATV bike-like car attracted me to the guy. I believe he's got the capability to do something out of the box and decided to chat with him. Maybe one day we will build a rotating tv wall and floating decks. This are simple mechanics


Our DIY guys are yet to pull out some extreme designs due to lack of skilled artisans to work with.

Definitely not the most perfect build but it's an effort that's worth mentioning.
This is encouraging. Oga brabus i hope it's fast?

A quick check revealed that Samsung S7 costs 649 Euros here.

So, its more like, 649 * 400 = 259,600 = 2163 Blocks (Block @ ₦120?)

Oga, that man no be your friend. angry

I'll take it that you are not a gadget man. My phone and laptop are my best companion, so i always make sure i get the best my pockek can afford.

But really, its all about "priorities".

Gadgets are not all about fancy, some of them (like mine) are work-tools that l cant survive without, even for a few days.
My Apple Mac Pro computer costs a shade over $10,000.... but it is a dedicated work Machine! (No Games or any sort of pleasure on it....strictly for work purposes). I am sure some cars dont cost #4Million naira.

I would rather a thief steal my car, than steal my Computer .........because it is everything about me and my work.

So, let us not disparage those who buy what we see as 'gadgets', l am sure they know why they did so.

chei na money be that?

Hehehe.....and we are complaining about Kidnappers + Armed Robbers?

Anyway, its mostly the illiterate, Govt Appointee or Politician that does that in public.



Until l see the likes of Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Dangote, Mike Zuckerberg, e.t.c doing the same thing..... before l can appreciate the madness.
If you actually work for your money (the likes Dangotte who actually manufacture stuffs), you wont ever spray it because you dont need to impress anyone.

Go to the village of these "Money-miss-roads", you wont find pipe-borne water, the roads are so bad a saloon car cant pass, there are widows in that video whose total wares is not up to #5,000 yet they can dash such people a 100K to start good business? There are kids who would have dropped out of school yet these c,owns cant grant scholarship to every student in his Village?

Who do they think they are impressing with such silly displays?
If how much you SPRAY is a function of how loaded you are, l bet the likes of Bill Gates would have shown us an example!

We should condemn this type of insanity because it adds zero-value to the onlookers and the person doing it..... nor to humanity at large.

is the 1 meter above the head course of the building or roof height? e.g building height 3m, then tank stand 4m?

The 1 meter rule is above the head course and not the roof height. The roof height (loft space) is a redundant space.

On my builds, the lintel makes the 10th coach and then 2 coaches after.

What number of the coach is the head course?

Thanks.

Good points.

Also, some of us are required to be technical savvy and intune with available and emerging technologies so that we can recommend devices to employees in fortune 100 companies wink

But it doesn't really matter as long as it doesn't have a debilitating opportunity cost.
