Reason why one should always include columns for safety, whether bungalow, Kobo kobo project or not.

Amastermovic:
The wall section is not sufficient to take the self weight of the beam itself now u have ur roof load wall load and self weight of ur beam on the angle not more than 225mm max..

if the lintel had come out a little beam u could have lap it well there's always a satisfactory lap for this kind of thing it can kills when there's an uplift action from wind and u tie ur roof to this particular member at the terrace

solution from my own view since the load is small u can introduce a dummy column to receive the stress ..safer this way since we can't estimate how solid ur strip is or block..

If we, Nigerians don't invest first in the country, it is foolhardy to expect foreign investors to troop in droves. Nigeria is a big market but not economically bouyant. The average personal income (purchasing power) is low.

When it comes to the internal investment climate with regards to uncertainty, there's only one 'thing' that is holding the nation down: EXCHANGE RATE POLICY.

Not kidnappers, not corrupt politicians, not bad roads, not adequate power supply, not lack of fiber optic ( broadband). These are the symptoms of lack of internal investment. The cause of our ailment is the poor and incompetent management of the Naira rate against international currencies - the Naira rate to the Dollar. This started from the Structural Adjustment Program (SAP).

I will give you a very practical and familiar example - myself. I'm in the Diaspora investing in Nigeria so I am a foreign investor. Abi no be so.

Now (For example) I have a property with long term tenants that gives me N5 mil per annum in rent. During President Goodluck Jonathan's regime, the average Naira exchange rate to the GBP was stable at N300. Then, I repatriate £16,000 per annum back to Britain from rental income.

As I type, the Naira to Pound rate is 600. So now I repatriate £8,000 from the same investment. That's about half of my income gone into thin air for no practical or business management reasons. Just government incompetence that I have no control over. Absolutely nothing I can do other than to increase rent. If I do this, the tenants (traders) will transfer the increase into the price of their products and poverty is let loose over the country. This is the situation we are in since SAP.

Now you can see if I were a property foreign investor like for example airline company (Virgin Nigeria), Dunlop, Bata, A.G Leventis, Layland, Volkswagen, Peugeot etc that are mandated to repatriate funds home for their shareholders overseas, what do you think they will do? With a dwindling income not from lack of trading but from the inability of the government to stabilize the exchange rate, they will do what they did - close shop and unleash unemployment. This is what is happening in Nigeria. The foreign exchange regime or lack of foreign exchange regime is killing Nigeria slowly but surely.

Any administration that can stabilize the exchange rate for two terms, Nigeria will be better. Nigeria's biggest problem is not corruption, but lack good governance and competent institutional managers of the polity (economy).

Hello House,

please which pension fund administrator would you recommend? I am thinking of using this current transfer window to switch PFAs.

I currently use sigma pensions but they are too slow to process my requests. I end up calling and calling and sending lots of emails before I get answers.

I have friends who use stanbic pfa and first pfa and they say they are good.
Based on your experience, which would you recommend for me?

EgunMogaji2:
Your picture showed Cometstar though.

Enyinne:
Oga , Your not an engineer and knows nothing about building. Always responding sarcastically when people says there cost . Always believe the cost spent on building esp foundation as cost is variable and all land conditions are not same .Respectable member here gave me a quote of 12.7m to erect from foundation to decking without his professional fee .When I received it , i doubted it and decided to buy all materials by myself and labour as i was feeling his quotation was much but i must confess i hv spent very very closely to that amount to achieve foundation to decking . So mind ur language at times as meself no get joy now .

Rexology:
Please, is it necessary to chain all the wall of a 3bedroom flat with lintel?

saydfact:
NA WA FOR UNA OOOH..... people shd respond to this kinda post more - but na the ones that require 'I am this or that, contact me @ 080.. ' una dey like.....

My advice would be to do all in close proximity - except you're doing CONCRETE CAST FACIAL (parapet) - but even I dont encourage concrete cast because of the weight and un-necessary expense...

I'll say, do precast or polystyrene but only when you're ready to roof...

Goodluck

It really won't be easy at all for an Igbo man to become the president of Nigeria. If we must tell ourselves the truth, we are all gonna agree with me that the first thing that will come to a voter's thought is that if an Igbo man becomes the president, he's gonna make sure biafra comes into existence. To me and many people in Nigeria, even in 100years to come, an igbo man won't become the president of Nigeria. The damage has already been done.
Its just my thinking.

tonididdy:
I mean to say foundation

Abolarin91:
Its OK like this, provided the inner beam is longer than the suspended to avoid sagging.

tonididdy:
If this is a dry area... Then I don't have to worry about your dpc level.
As for that one pillar (it's not even necessary if what I am seeing in the photo is a suspended beam)... If that's a suspended beam and of very good quality then you spoilt the beauty of that area with that pillar there... The pillar isn't necessary if the suspended beam was done top notched.



In this photo... Is something similar to what you are trying to achieve and it's beautiful without a pillar.

Don't be deceived that your chances are 25%. The law of independent assortment, still comes into play in genetics.

On paper, it could be 25%. But how often will that 25% chance show up? And when will it show up? Nobody knows that as no one can predict it.

Your very first pregnancy could be an SS foetus. What would you do?Abort the child, after conducting tests?

What happens if all the pregnancies are SS?

I know a couple that had 3 kids, and all the 3 kids were SS.

It is like rolling a dice. How often will you roll it, for it to come up as a 6 side?

As for saying you will not abandon an AS angel for another person, don't be deceived. That AS angel can turn into a shrew or a bitchy person, if her life gets filled with the wahala of caring for a sickle cell child.

That love you think you share, will fly out of the window due to the constant stream, and sickness you both have to deal with.

By the way, who told you that an AA angel cannot exist?? Grow up and stop thinking like a kid.

The only time you can marry an AS carrier is if you have 5 million to carry out IVF. Or if you are willing to adopt kids. Period.
