Brabus might be forgiven for his stealing and being a crook because he is Yoruba. We are allowed to be dishonest and still brag about it because we own Lagos, we decide who should steal and who shouldn't grin

Igbos should be dishonest only in the East alone tongue

This is tribalism, how can one tribe be allowed to be stealing? Leave which Lagos? Even Tinubu your godfather is from Iragbiji, a slum town in Oshun state grin

You have no rights to be talking to me like that.

The USA building structure standard is too low in my opinion, reason there is nothing left after fire, hurricane/storm, flood, etc.

That's not a thing about their standard but a choice of construction materials and methodology.

They build more of modular and movable structures unlike we down here that build "permanent" structures.

That's not to say they don't factor in Hurricane and flood into their design also not to say they don't have sub-standard structures built by shady contractors.

Lol, I'm sure it's through bus "Conducting" that I got to work for the 3rd Largest Indigenous Construction Company in Nigeria and currently Owner of the first Fully Integrated Construction/Project Delivery Firm in Nigeria.

I'll sure continue to conduct buses.. grin

If materials and methodology can't withstand consistent natural threats then is safe enough to say the standard is not good enough. I think the cost and affordability is an issue to consider for their trend.

Not every person from Ibadan does that if you check carefully, sometimes there are things you ignore because they are irrelevant.

Till they learn to mind their own business instead of engaging in tribalism with other tribes. I am not happy about this and since the mods and others here are not condemning tribalism, we all will be swimming in it.

A man insulted a whole tribe (Igbo Nation) because of his personal experience on here and the elders kept quiet and effortlessly refused to call him to apologize to Igbos.
If it's a standard practice here, no problem but if it's not a standard practice here, it must be condemned by all to avoid a repeat of such and to preserve the mutual respect on this thread.

I believe a public apology is in order. We can understand other sections are full of under aged and under exposed folks but there can't be any excuse here since it's mainly matured folks that frequent here.
Contractors and service providers that should lend their voices often times maintain neutrality in other not to offend any party and loose potential patronage.
It's awkward how everyone is minding their business, not wanting to offend anyone.

You could have also used pipe ducts, but that's too late now.
so, consider one of the suggestions already provided and take note for next time.

Seems the maturity of this section is different from politics section.... Must be a bad day for trolls shocked shocked shocked

When you put finite players against infinite players, the finite players will always face problems. While the finite player is targeting a win, the goal of the infinite player is to perpetuate the game till a finite player lose the will power to continue.

It’s just common sense!

The more we look at our world through this lens of finite and infinite games, the more we see infinite games all around us, games with no finish lines and no winners.

The only thing the matured ones can do is to teach the immatured ones what they don’t know.


An infinite player understands that “When you play with a finite mindset in an infinite game, the odds increase that you will find yourself in a quagmire, racing through the will and resources you need to keep playing.”

Finite vs Infinite Mentality: Microsoft vs Apple


Simon Sinek was invited to speak at Microsoft and Apple education summits.

Microsoft had just launched the Zune portable media player in 2006, few years after Apple launched the iPod in 2001. Zune was the most elegant piece of technology that was built with an amazing interface, easy to use, design was spectacular; just a top notch product. At the education summit at Microsoft, 70% of the executives spent most of their presentation talking about how they wanted to beat Apple and be number one. At the end of Microsoft summit, they gave Simon a new Zune, as a gift.

At the Apple education summit, 100% of the executives spent all of their presentation sharing about the vision of Apple and where they want to get to, with no mention of any competition. After the summit was done, Simon was sharing a cab with one of the top executives at Apple - he was the #12 employee at Apple. Simon liked to stir pots, so he turned to him, and said - "You know, Microsoft gave me a new Zune. And it is so much better than your iPod touch". The Apple executive turned to him and said, "I have no doubt". And that was it. Conversation over.

One was playing a finite game - a game where there is one winner. The other was playing an infinite game, where the objective is to keep playing.

One was obsessed with vision and the other was obsessed with beating the opposition. Companies who react strategically to competition, sacrificing on working on their vision, don't realize their highest potential.

_______
A tribal war (infinite game) on a platform where people are focused on achieving their lifelong dreams (building a house, building wealth etc) wont realize it’s potential.

General Giap and Sun Tzu in "The Art of War"

Classic strategy case study in renowned business schools worldwide.

n3xt:
You want to know how to WIN WAR without fighting? Know PEACE.



Evidence demonstrates that more wars end through negotiated peace agreements than through one side 'winning'.

If you want to know more, watch “Infinite Games” by Simon Sinek.

In infinite games, like business or politics or life itself, the players come and go, the rules are changeable and there is no defined end point.

Samsung vs Apple
Toyota vs Tesla
Stone-coated roof vs Cameroon Zinc

There is no such thing as “winning business” or “winning life,” for example, there is only ahead and behind. - Simon Sinek

So I laugh when I see people playing a finite game where there’s no such thing as winning.

Read more about American and the North Vietnamese war to know why America lost the war despite winning most of the battle.
