nextprince:And yet you condescended below pigs just to show how bitter you are. You are so disgusting.
|
nextprince:I won't. Unless you go back to primary school and learn basic expressions like 'how come' rather than hate. |
nextprince:You and who want debate wetin? Just free yourself from the morbid hatred for Igbos and your mind will be occupied by better things. |
nextprince:It's not how COMES. It's how COME. |
British engineers have developed an incredible £100,000 flat-packed house that can be unfolded in ten minutes. The adaptable unit can then be packed up with all its furnishings and transported on a lorry just as quickly. The creators of Ten Fold hope to revolutionise the UK property market by mass producing the stackable homes. Inventor David Martyn, 58, said its built-in folding partitions and storage space allow it to be used as a home, classrooms, business spaces, pop-up shops, hospital operating theatres and emergency shelters for refugees. Furnishing such as sofas, beds, chairs, and tables can be tucked away in storage spaces and the whole unit is folded away and relocated in a truck without any specialist tools. Mr Martyn and his team of four engineers have spent seven years and £4m developing and patenting their designs. The adaptable unit can be packed up with all its furnishings and transported on a lorry. Inside the flat packed house. The Ten Folds can also be fitted with solar panels and attachable units. The father-of-four from Wallingford, Oxon., said: "It is households and instant extra bedrooms, it's mobile operating theatres - none of which have been possible until now. "The idea is that this technology could easily make a £100,000 home affordable. "It could make the option for someone to own a building who doesn't own the land. "It will allow the young to get a building without owning the land, it changes the dynamics of the market which does need to change because it is a transportable property asset. "There's never been one before and this is a real solid building that doesn't have to stay in the same place." Furnishing such as sofas, beds, chairs, and tables can be tucked away in storage spaces. Mr Martyn and his team spent seven years and £4m developing their designs. The Ten Folds can also be fitted with solar panels and attachable units connecting them to the national electrical grid. "It's totally like any normal house, the only issue is that these units can be devised so they can be plugged into traditional infrastructure," said Mr Martyn. "This is about speed, size and ease and there's nothing else that does it." Mr Martyn, an architect, who said his children pay extortionate rents in London, said he was inspired to build transportable flat-packed homes after watching a lorry go past him. Explaining his idea to use levers to allow a house to fold in on itself, he said: "It was eventually during that reflective process that I worked out that you could link bits of the buildings together so that the things that went up were balanced with the bits that went down with no power. "In some cases there are jacks that do this but you don't need cranes, builders or equipment and that makes it agile in a different way. "This is reducing the cost of building - it's basically factory built houses. "You can have a house that you drive along and that you open up and you live in, or a shop that serves and opens and already has its mechanisms. "It can been as on and off grid in principle as it needs to be." Mr Martyn said 'it is about speed, size and ease and there's nothing else that does it'. A video of their design has gone viral on social media. He said his team have had six prototypes built and spent millions patenting his designs across the world. A video of their design has gone viral on social media and the team now hopes to control the price of the homes by licensing manufacturers to mass-produce the homes. Mr Martyn said: "We've just had a project come in for 3,000 houses in South Africa... we've got people literally all over the world now. "What we want is to get people to build theses for themselves and for the people in need. "We can help by licensing the clever engineering that gives the opportunity (for affordable housing) to the people. "We have developed this clever technology and we are going to be licensing the right of using that. "I hate to use the word cutting out the middle man but the actual cost of building a house isn't anything like what you're charged for it, it's a really complex scenario but our theory is to offer the access to the technology so we can recover our funds and do good." The team have patents in England, Europe, China, Canada. He added: "The applications range form what the videos that have been showing off to offices, shops, you can do them big, you would have people waiting to do class showrooms, corporate flagships... it could be a partly mobile housing stock to cope with fluctuations in demand and in need whether it would be class rooms or houses for people (refugees) who just arrived." He said of his young team of engineers: "If they want to have a house they can do nothing but work and it's only because of the way the UK property market works. "This project can resolve that but you can save Africa as well - you've got in the Middle East, they have an affection to being in the desert and this allows them to be there for a short period of time but bring their techno-tents back into the city - this is a really really big change we are talking about." He added: "I'm desperate that what we have created does real good and not every body likes to hear people say that but that's genuinely our position. "We would probably charge some kind of percentage out of it and there would be some altruistic variations on that no doubt as well. "We've been working on this for the past seven years privately funded by people who want to do good works. "There are people out there who have chosen to support this endeavour - they are philanthropists. "We are on about £4m. We have four engineers and patents in England, Europe, China, Canada - probably the patent work is not far from half the total money. The copyright belongs to Mirror.

VeryKlean:Nice ride. Last? |
blackwhite001:I've watched the video but I still don't believe in Neymar. What do I do next? |
It's for the sake of neutrality of products and services in the religious sphere. Otherwise, some religious bigots and fanatics will stop patronizing a particular brand because an artist is an ambassador of that brand. |
skimmy005:It's an Igbo movie "Ikoh Nso". |
TRUTHTOPOWER:I just don't get the way you keep twisting the narrative, making sound as if Ojukwu sacrificed his people. You are exactly the kind of breed the Nigerian govt desires and that is why they removed history studies from our school curriculum. Millions of Igbos did not die because of Ojukwu. On the contrary, Ojukwu saved several millions of Igbos from dying. Tens of thousands of Igbos had already been massacred in the north in June 1966 and it was only a matter of time before the people you worship extended the killings to the south east and south south. It was Ojukwu's heroics and courage in saying enough is enough that saved millions. Go to Asaba and you will find out what the people you worship did there, killing any male in sight. Up till today Asaba is still reeling from the shock of it. And this was done to them because they were shouting one Nigeria. Regardless of what South East went through during the war, their losses cannot be compared to the Asaba massacre. If not for Ojukwu, Igboland may have become a conquered territory occupied by the hausafulani today. Pls go and do your research. |
TRUTHTOPOWER:There is nothing Honourable about killing oneself; it is the most cowardly thing to do, especially when done to escape punishment for treason. His corpse should have been thrown into the evil forest lest it desecrate the land. If not for the bravery of Ojukwu who released awo you wouldn't be here today yapping about how he was elevated and his face put on the Naira. Yet the perfidious awo paid Ojukwu back by recommending starvation as a weapon of warfare rather than fighting with arms and ammunition. He thought he was free but when the blood he spilled came for judgment he cowardly took his own life. That he was elevated is irrelevant, any criminal can be so elevated. |
Thegamingorca:Ojukwu was a great man and a hero. He led Igbos to war, went into exile, came back and still led his people. As the heir to the wealthiest Nigerian at the time, he was not greedy and only interested in securing his wealth which was mostly in enemy territory, Lagos. He stood like a man and said enough; you cannot continue to kill my brethren. What is traitor-like in that. He did not reason like your brothers today who boot-lick just to amass wealth at the expense of his kinsmen. Anyway, I wonder why you are crying more than the bereaved. If, as you allege, Ojukwu abandoned us, how is it your problem? It's none of your business. Shogbo? If the Igbos had a warped sense of reasoning like you and your ilks they would not have given him a rousing welcome the day he came back from exile. And today, that APGA is still standing is because of Ojukwu. Why don't you mind your business and ruminate over the cowardly act of awolowo who took rat poison, and the more cowardly act of his brothers who are too ashamed to tell the world how their hero died. We all know how Ojukwu, Fajuyi, Fela, Azikiwe, etc died. But how did Awo die? Do a research on this it will do you good. |
TRUTHTOPOWER:My friend, have you heard about the cliche: 'no dead heroes'? I bet you haven't. There is even a movie titled after this cliche. Only enlightened people know that a hero is better alive than dead. Ask Wole Soyinka, David Mark and Tinubu who ran away from Abacha into exile. They recognized the principle of self preservation. It still beats my imagination why someone who killed himself through the most ignominious way should be regarded highly. I believe it must be out of collective idiocy by people who believe their heroes should commit rat poison suicide without anyone taking up the gauntlet in their dead heroes' place. |
Thegamingorca:To you he might be a traitor, but to me he is a great man. Regarding the Ikemba a great man or traitor depends on the side you are on. The first high profile traitor to be convicted in Nigeria was Awolowo; he was convicted for trying to topple the government of the day in the 60s. He had treason running in his blood and eventually killed himself just to escape the consequences of another treason committed by him in the 80s |
According to Channels TV, Brigadier General Sani Usman who is the spokesperson of the army has claimed that since 2014, the Nigerian Army never ever declared Shekau dead. Sani said the army has never declared Shekau dead before and reiterated that he will be captured soon. He said: “From July 2014 to date nobody especially on the part of the Nigeria Army has ever said Shekau was dead “And If you are following things carefully, there is an individual that is coming up on the social media to claim responsibility and leadership of Boko Haram, that is the person we are talking about. If you are in possession of our wanted terrorists’ poster, you would have known that is the person we are talking about and we are so determined to meet up with that deadline to either kill him or capture him” |
The army has vowed to carry out the order given by Tukur Buratai to capture the leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, dead or alive within 40 days. According to Channels TV, Brigadier General Sani Usman who is the spokesperson of the army confirmed this in Buniyadi, Yobe state. This was during a close door session Buratai had with the troops particularly the troops of 27th Taskforce, the Nigeria Army Special Forces School The soldiers applauded Buratai for his work and concern and promised that Buratai will be captured within 40 days. Sani said: “The clearance operation of the remnants of these criminals that calls themselves Boko Haram will be decisively dealt with to a logical conclusion” Sani said the army has never declared Shekau dead before and reiterated that he will be captured soon. He said: “From July 2014 to date nobody especially on the part of the Nigeria Army has ever said Shekau was dead “And If you are following things carefully, there is an individual that is coming up on the social media to claim responsibility and leadership of Boko Haram, that is the person we are talking about. If you are in possession of our wanted terrorists’ poster, you would have known that is the person we are talking about and we are so determine to meet up with that deadline to either kill him or capture him” |
OboOlora:Wettin be beeJ? |
I don't give a kcuf. Na them them. |
ottohan:Yes. Only a great and wise man would know that discretion is the better part of Valor. So many men have died, not from bravery, but idiocy. People like Ironsi, Abiola, Awolowo, etc. all died because they thought they were being brave. You catch my drift? |
Igbokwe is only acting in accordance with the meaning of his name: (if Igbos agree). He has not done anything after finding out if Igbos will accept it or not. He acts first and then begins to ask Igbos to accept his ideas. |
Integrityfarms:I agree with you. They were shocked and confused that they won and that GEJ conceded defeat. Perhaps they expected a fight from PDP over the outcome of the election.
|
The great man. Don't mind your infantile critics. Nnamdi Kanu has kept the flag flying high. Continue to Rest in peace. |
Self-inflicted. Lubbish.
|
Op, kudos to you. |
VajanahDischaj:Unnecessary belly aching.

verygudbadguy:1515+6=1521 |
1515+6=1521 |
Security and Regulatory Agencies are part of the problem with Nigeria. |
chinoxstock:Bros, no mind that igbodefender guy. He lacks understanding of the meaning of discrimination. Okorocha does not have the genuine interest of Igbos at heart because he is not himself a full blooded Igboman. |
APC house of commotion. |
He is the worst, in fact the most clueless and confused. |
Buruku Bridge ko, Burukutu flyover ni. |
