Please what is the length of reinforcement?

I cannot count the number of graduates/undergraduates we train annually.

One of our major problem in Nigeria is “We have too many educated illiterates.”

The future is bleak unless we invest heavily in our young ones. It’s not all about the useless feeding programmes.

_______

Pic 1 & 2 - This is the true state of the nation.

If government should arrest those empowering young ones with basic skills, what should happen to those producing unemployable graduates?

KolaShangOne:


Ooooh. Is that what digests the waste?

Ndyoo:
Can an engineer do the bill of quantities? Must it be a quantity surveyor? If it must be a quantity surveyor can someone recommend me one specific for the southeast region. I hope the person has experience on the cost of things in South East because I think these things vary from region to region as I can see from example that the cost of a bag of cement is not the same everywhere.

n3xt:


I hope this helps

Still bought it yesterday.
Goodwill polished (nylon face) is 4800 per carton now.
I bought it 3800 few weeks ago.
Vitrified tiles are usually between 2800 - 3200 per carton.

sinorte:


Thank you. It sure helps.

But I noticed you didn't mention sharp sand as one of the materials required to produce the stones. Is sand optional?

KolaShangOne:
I think we are mixing child labour with "child work training". The difference is "choice".

I can take my child to site to take measurements. My baba bricklayer brings his children during holidays to site.

Child labour is when the child doesn't have a choice and has to do hard labour to survive.

Child hard labour is still bad. It will always be. But because of the peculiar nature of our dysfunctional society, we are seeing it as not a big deal.

None of us here will allow our 8 year old child to go and carry concrete or blocks.

You can combine apprenticeship and education. After school, I used to go n meet my Dad at work.

When I was Mr. Americana I hated to see young people on my sites. I felt it wasn’t a good move because I was measuring things with an American yardstick.

After I became tenured on the ground then I started seeing a lot of things differently.

That kid at the construction site could as well be the bread winner for his family. There are lots of complicated and maddening circumstances in Nigeria.

What I do is ensure that young folks are not tasked beyond their capacity and they get an education. Let me explain. For example I taught one to know why they count number of pans.

The younger folks get extra cash from me directly at the end of the day.

The numbskuls making laws up and down are consciousless twits who are isolated from the realities on the ground. I don’t use those as justification.

Most of the self made millionaires in the USA are trade people.

Please don’t quote me as I didn’t quote anybody. I have running stomach

We just have refused to accept realities of our present environment.must everyone visit the four walls of the school?
Some are destined to be;
1. Educationists
2. entertainer's
3. Sports personalities

Education is overrated here. Everyday find X.

My son is 7+...im planning for for him to learn a skill immediately he gets to higher school.

We so much believe in certificate.

He’s currently in Cotonou and should be back by Monday.
Please kindly be patient with him. He does not understand nor speak queens english.

davodyguy:

That's the challenge I have with my POP guy.

He says some things that are insulting (what yoruba call apàra). I do confront him and he apologizes for not understanding how to communicate.

He's from Benin republic too and the over 7 boys he brought are from his country, not working with Nigerians

We flap jaw about openable burglary bars here often. I hope folks are paying attention. Also for second stories you need a fire escape ladder.

Pls whats the life line or warranty of this type of tiles for commercial buildings? Does it wear off ? Any recommendations for me ? Thanks for responding

n3xt:


Stonedust is cheaper at my end. Hence, the reason I don’t consider sharp sand.

30 full tons - 70k

bigcountry234:


Please Sir where is this?

mountmoriah:
10 years warranty but it doesn't wear off or fade or change color, those that knows Good will tiles knows it is original
