Engineering wonder. Not sure if it’s photoshop or even Nigeria.
It's possible, the ground floor is not just a wall. It's actually a triangular shaped room.

not to sound insultive or abusive Sir, it will be nice if you can readily donate a sibling or yourself for a test. I Know people here will be willing n glad to have a donor for free to test if it's a scam or does truly exist.
don't just sit in one obodo oyinbo n tell us what we know, even your whites does it from time immemorial
I was born and raised in Nigeria, I don't believe in illusion, I wouldn't even waste my time to listen to such sermon. Believe what you like but the statistics out there is telling the whole world something different. What they do is murder in the name of ritual for money!

Sir, you didn't have to elucidate by asking him to provide his siblings or himself. Let's respect every opinion. Truth is: voodoo or juju is all about fear, secrecy, illusion, brainwash, scare and the unknown. Best patronage come from those seeking solace. Now I know that I fell "under the anointing" 30 years ago because I didn't want to be seen as a sinner! I also now know that the Otokoto saga, Owerri, 1996 was not about an innocent 11-year-old boy named Anthony Ikechukwu Okoronkwo who was murdered for "rituals" but a cover for armed robberies, murders, kidnappings, cultism and 419!
With due respects Sir, let's talk/debate 5G and iPhones which just debuted, same people who linked it with covid-19 will still buy it. Not voodoo or juju. No doubt you understood me.

Just to update the house.

I contracted @SurveyorGeo to survey my land. Approved survey has been delivered.

n3xt:


I haven’t worked with him before but I don’t think that should stop you from contracting him for your survey.

All the artisans and suppliers on this platform have not met or work with most of their clients before. We just do it with faith and trusting that all will be well.

With his contributions here so far, I believe he’ll do a good job.

Discuss a good payment plan with him and let’s have your feedback after the job.
Ensure he’s easily accessible anytime needed. I once engage a surveyor from Ogun state to work on a project in Lagos, it wasn’t a sweet experience.

Thank you sir/ma’am.

You would have been dead by the morning if no air is coming into your room. Certainly of asphyxiation.

Just know that a chemical substance can be introduced into your room through your split aircondition too.

Quite possibly. But you should understand what I meant by no air coming in from the windows.. There's already trapped oxygen, also coming in from the door openings and recirculated by fan. I rarely sleep with AC on..

Baba, the thing dey!

A bank in Orile Ilugun will never forget their experience.

I wouldn’t know if they’ve been able to carry away the door of the vault from where they thieves left it on the main road.
The vault door was there for several years and till date no one can understand how the thieves carried it without using a crane.

If you take a travel down to Orile Ilugun along Abeokuta road, Oyo state you can ask the resident about this story.


O'Boy Wetin dey? Juju??

Hope you are just making a laugh?

If juju dey, most rural villages must have turned to Mecca for miracle junkies just as the same naive have made billionaire of the Pastorentprenuer.

That 'no one understand how the thieves carried the vault door to Orile Ilugun, Abeokuta Road, Oyo State without a crane' does not justify 'the thing dey'.

You already made attempt to hypothesize by suggesting that the vault may have been taken to Orile Ilugun by crane. It is a good attempt at unravelling what really happened and how did the vault door get to Orile Ilugun?

Using basic logic to ask relevant questions searching for credible answers would surely help you to unravel what was being viewed as mystery: sighting the bank vault door far away from the original site without knowing how it got there.

Simple police investigation applying verifiable methods would unravel the mystery, and it is very possible the police and the bank already knew how it got there, and certainly it isn't by any juju or voodoo. The mysticism is just that you havent been told how neither did you care to really found out.

To say that 'the thing dey' simply means you took the easy option to join the bandwagon, which by your standard is most surprising.

I said 'most surprising' because if you (Brabus) believe or suspect that thieves may have moved the vault door effortlessly to Orile Ilugun, know how resourceful and innovative you are, you would have found an easy, practical and money saving solution to moving prefab steel mat or a complete cured prefab concrete slab on top standing reinforcements without using cranes. You could be building the caracass of high rise buildings in matter of days without cranes.

Wont that be wonderful??

But I guess you are just having a laugh by your comment; the thing dey!

I hope 'the juju' is being used to propel your automatic gate. If not, please why??

bravo! bravo!
see me clapping for you. they might or will not do that cause they ain't wired that way. if you want to see the power of it, I can recommend some particular places for you to go n you will come back with testimony that's if you are still sane to remember your way home not to talk of handle a mobile phone.
some fellow just type to join the wagon to trend, what an adult or elder sees sitting can't be seen by a kid standing or jumping. they use this juju/jazz for evil than good

Lol! Here they go!
They ain't wired which way exactly?? Why weren't they?? You need certain genealogy or what are we talking about. Are you saying stealing money from a bank isn't evil enough??

You want to recommend me to a place that I would comeback with testimony if at all am still sane?? Joking me brother!

Where will you take me to nwanne? I hope you're not getting me wrong? I am not saying that local herbs or some Herbalist concortions are not potent. Offcourse am not saying such. So following you to 'a place' for testimony and not coming back needs to be qualified.

Because I am not ignorant of the possibility that you may take me to 'a place' force me to take a concoction that would knock me off, or spray me with powder of sarin or some other chemical substance that would deal with me mercilessly before an antidote is applied to attenuate the effect so that I live to give testimony.

It is a pity that here we are in 21st century Nigeria, able bodied people still opposing each other on the existence and effectiveness or not of juju or voodoo, in an era when Elon Musk of SpaceX has put two people in orbit in a trial set to disrupt telecommunication industry. When the world is on the race to discover effective vaccine again the novel virus (covid-19). Any company that discovers an effective covid-19 vaccine is in to rake in billions of dollars. Where are you taking me to brother?

Won't the juju work for the evil covid-19 that has taken the lives of million and counting in the world? You may know that the greatest evils on earth are the bacteria, fungi, and viruses that are in the race to wipe human out of existence unchecked. Since juju only do evil, there are the task. Use it to wipe disease causing agents.

Few things were wrong here:

The slab is a One Way Slab design, but was not supported as such in this video. Notice the Parallel columns but nothing in the longitudinal run of the 1way

The under supports can not carry all that wet DL and LL ( Dead and Live Load) that was imposed to place the concrete

These are just to mention a few

Your points are valid but juju dey but it’s some kind of mind control that's so much more potent than chains or locking someone up.

In conclusion, the analysis of juju as an equivalent of modern technologies is hyperbolic. Juju can’t change TV channels.

I need one firstly because I belief they are knowledgeable/experienced in the field and would be able to deliver a standard project. I don’t want to build a house and be seing cracks etc due to some errors which would have been captured by the Engr. during construction.
Secondly my work won’t permit me to be around all the time to monitor the mason(Baba Lati in your case �).

My Engr. said the least he can collect from me is 10%. He is highly experienced and very good in the field, he built my home country house for me around 2016 and the building is fantastic. In short he is very good and has many projects(private and government) he is handling currently.
