Physically on site is even better than layout becos we ammend things on site sometimes after the plan is drawn.

Hajji M.


I only mentioned layout since he has already done the physical measurement which turned out to be in error. Showing him the layout to do a second one is just to indirectly show him his error if he can locate it.



I have no idea who he is.
Na Oga Rabcnesbit go tell us better because na him spot the guy .

You must understand my pain and frustration with the system. I have lived and worked here all my life, and still facing these demons daily. Nothing is more vexing than being delayed on the road daily for searches and document checks, even by cops who clearly can't read. You have to settle to get the most basic of approvals, you have to know someone who knows someone before being considered for anything. Should I talk about government contract awarding process? Horrible. I chose to stay away from any government contract before they will compromise my values.

But if you think there's any part of our economy which has not suffered from corruption, tell us. I am even afraid to invest in the stock market any more. Its just a pity.

The world reading this is a great help, maybe pressure from outside can force the hands of our governments to wake up and do things right, lots of square pegs in round holes, lots of incompetence, lots of avoidable mistakes, lots of same mistakes repeated over and over again to the extent that you start thinking its deliberate. We cannot continue like this.

And for some of you who have seen better, some of you who have experienced a semblance of good governance in foreign countries, how do you manage to lower all your standards, stoop lower to accommodate this sleaze? How do you feel when you see policemen posted to checkpoints for the sole purpose of fleecing motorists and beating anyone who objects into submission? How do you feel paying hefty bribes to free your relatives from cell for the offence of walking around in their own neighbourhoods? How do you feel when girls are coerced into sleeping with old lecturers, if they must pass a course in the university, while boys must pay in cash or fail the course. How do you feel when patients die just because there is no equipment in hospitals to save them after billions has been budgeted and embezzled, or because the driver of the ambulance drove away to do kabu kabu with the only vehicle for ER and so the patient died on top of a motorcycle after a spinal injury.

In all, nobody will be punished, nobody has been jailed yet for budget padding, nobody will ever be jailed for including thousands of ghost workers into most payrolls. And the whole cycle will repeat itself again tomorrow. How can I keep quiet?

Good thing you let it out.

It is thought like this that gave birth to dependence on codeine to numb the mind.

And if it were American brothers, AR-15 gets lubricated.

The problems are not peculiar to Nigeria only. The only unpalatable angle is that there is no organization to run to for
justice in Nigeria.

Get the best brain in the world and throw her (hello feminists!) into Nigeria, she will come out tainted because
one who gets down with pigs will never come out clean.

Slightly off topic.

Hello house, I trust we are all winning at life. I am in a dilemma. My younger cousin has been offered a choice of courses in a federal University : quantity surveying or Building technology. My gut judgement is to go for building tech.but I thought I'd ask those already playing the field. Opinions, especially a variety of them are highly welcome. Thank you all.

Don't want to broadcast his name/company publicly (trying to be fair and give him the benefit of doubt just in case it was a genuine mistake), but if anyone is particularly interested to know, then pm me.

Anybody ever patronized Frakem.com, and if so, was it a positive or negative experience. Thank you.

Yes, I have. I must say it's an organised establishment. Very cordial and responsive. Working towards using their services for my build, pretty soon.

[i][/i][color=#770077][/color]i was wondering why we dont use wooden floors too instead of tiles, is any one aware of any disadvantage of using wood as my flooring instead of tiles?
petikal:
OK, here's a question.

Why don't we build with treated/insulated hardwood in Nigeria? You know, a house where the exterior walls can be blocks/concrete, but the interior/room dividers would be wood? Think of the freedom and cost-reduction in running electrical wires/pipes, plumbing, and even future reconstruction/expansion.

My high school in Abia built in 1929 has residential buildings built entirely of wood, and some still look good!

On wood floor do you mean pvc laminate or hardwoods

On hardwood I don't know but on PVC laminate people use it here in Nigeria though not as much as they use tiles.
And the its very lasting but more costlier than tiles most time.

Look at 12mm PVC laminate imported from Swiss I can guarantee you 15yrs and more

Permission sir mufutau55

U can't take away the fact wood is more prone to fire & other attacks from termite than tiles...
