Good Morning correct People,
Please a friend of mine wants to commence his building and he wants to do foundation blinding. He was given quotation for gravel but I told him granite is better is better. His issue is that gravel He cheaper compared to granite.

I am trying to convince him to use granite but he wants to know the implications of not using granite.

Kindly assist with the comparison for both so that I can advice him.

Granite will produce a concrete with better strength. But do people still build with gravel? Haven't seen it for a long time now

Anyone on this forum have information on Victory Estate, Lekki FTZ. The developer is Kayode Obembe. Is this developer credible. I bought plots from this company in 2016 and yet until date, no allocations of plots. Now in 2019 , the company wants developmental fee ( more money ) which was not disclosed upfront. The company says allocation to be made after developmental fees paid. Is this company credible..??.

Allocation is supposed to be before development fee. What are they developing if people are yet to get their land let alone start building? Look for other persons that bought land from the same estate.

LOGOBELT:
I just wonder what the LOAN will be used for After all the Tax collection and inflation in the country.... Yet we still seek for loans from foreign affairs, thus regime sucks

REMEMBER THIS IS NOT HATE SPEECH

@bold the thing tire person my brother

ndubuis:
And you think riders cannot plant stuffs in your car? Let's assume that was a proper police check: You get down to open the trunk while leaving a rider in the car, rider is having a weapon or a banned substance, gets nervous knowing that the police may search him as well when they are done with the booth, drops the substance in the car, maybe on the driver's side. Police comes to search the car and finds what rider dropped. Rider denies knowing about it. Tell me who will be held? This scenario would have played out in real life. You should never let your guard down. Everyone is a suspect, police, rider, etc. Na naija we still dey oo.

This is not a good attitude
So anytime u want to step out of your car a rider must come down? What if u want to change something in your bonnet, a flat tyre, someone bash your car etc a rider will also need to step out? It is offensive to insinuate someone is a thief when they have not stolen from u. When a driver do this to you and your wife some day, only then u will know how offensive it sounds.
If I am a rider there is no way I am going to continue a trip with a driver asking me to come down at every point he does because he suspects I am a thief. Money is the most valuable thing u can have in ur car, put it in your wallet or pocket.

peeps4u:
For your own safety xef, you should be the one to open the booth for security officers and observe while they check, besides, I think it is your duty to open you booth. So I think the riders were right to flair up

I could be wrong though.

U are right sir
It is not safe to allow any security personnel to open your boot, they can easily drop sth inside to implicate u

clarocuzioo:
It's unfortunate this woman got herself entangled with this mess, considering how Nigerians stood and spoke out for her when the Dauras where playing chess with her.

Now she has really shown that she is no different from her husband.

Somebody should also remind her that in China, there is nothing like office of the first lady.

Those that rode on the good will of social media now want to burn the bridge after crossing over to the other side.

Who have issued hate speech in this country more than Buhari, with his "dogs and baboon will soak in blood", statement.

The bold is so true

ikmontana:
pls anyone, wat are d risks involved if one uses GRAVEL for d FOUNDATION of a building I.e 2 flats of 3 bedrooms per unit, BUNGALOW

cos some people are telling me to use GRANITE.

No risk per se, before now alot of people build with gravel, but granite is better & with a higher strength too. If u are unable to afford granite, use stone base, gravel is now kinda outdated

I need a good mechanic to access my Corola 2009 issues. Pls I need an expert in this area.

An unmistakable trait of lowly,unexposed and uneducated fellows

U are wrong
Seems like u don't have elders in ur place
Guess all the governors shaking buhari with both hands are uneducated? It is a sign of respect!

MrDraey:
I haven't even started the e-hailing, though I got a car mid-november for use,(HP- remittance starts January) I just drive to work and home maybe outings too but for e-hailing, nope

No I meant what u were using in place of drivers license before

MrDraey:
DL is just hindering me here. I have applied to get a Driving sch cert and was told it will be ready 15th, before I apply for the DL

15th is already close
But have u been driving before?
What have u been using?

DigitalPastor:
Ocar is the next big thing in town. I signed up and in my first day of working with the App, I completed 12trips worth 11k. The battle line between Uber/Bolt/ Ocar has been drawn. I'm not a forerunner of any of the Apps but as a businessman, I'll always go with maximum profit with security and Opay seems to be providing that because you'll be able to see rider's destination. Each rider is verified because their bank details are linked to the Opay App.

Never knew Ocar is now have much riders in Abuja. I thought it is only in lagos

Brainboxfid:
I hope this man is okay down there.. if he's okay I pray he See's a lady that captures his heart, get married and give birth.. I'm joining his momma in prayer lol

Why not be that lady

diordaves:
900k? !!! Inflation in Nigeria is something else. Please people don't waste time, anything you have now just start your project with that. Don't over think or over analyse things, just start with what you have now. To think I did 40ft a couple of years ago for under 400k in Delta just goes to show you that beating about the bush can be very expensive at the end of the day. Inflation is not smiling in Nigeria.

I swear
Just to erect a stanchion now 1m
Things are always on the increase

emmancecute:
I'm not an as.s licker. I give it to you the way you come, I won't act professional if you misbehave. If you're nice, I'm extremely nice. If you wan fight, I am ready to fight you. If you don't want to talk, you won't hear pim from my mouth. I'm exactly what you are to me. Some will say I didn't act professional but no one has the monopoly to be rude. During my early days in the service, I once beat up a minister's cousin cos he was very rude. This minister can just ask for my appointment letter and tear it into pieces right in my presence cos he is the oga at the top and nothing will happen but I don't care. As far as I'm able to reset that guy's brain then I'm satisfied. Though I won't react the same way I did then cos as I have dependents now but I will still deal with the guy and make sure there's no evidence this time.

You acted professional
She insulted u first and u have every right to do same, 15mins is a lot of time.
But why women all the time?
This ehailing has really exposed women all over the world. Go on YouTube and watch worst rides on uber they are all women, rude and mannerless & funny enough, they never pay, a guy is always waiting to pay for them & yet they find it easy disrespecting people.

teeebest:
Thanks Boss. I can't remember if it was you or someone that mentioned that circling at the airport some pages back. If not for that urine wey I nor fit hold again, me sef no dey wait o. Na to keep holding the thing next time. Lol

I don't think u can mine with luno
Is a luno a mining company?

Peacemaker126:
Yes the tokunbo own is 35k that what they are selling it bro

Which car?
Ensure any gear box u are buying is direct from engine. Go with a trusted mechanic. Many dealers will sell a condemned Nigerian used gear box in place of toks.

sammy13:
Okay, this road safety man telling me 28days, l will go to their office tommorow

They are right
If u don't have any driving school certificate, it will take 28 days to a month. U only get temporary License immediately if u already have driving school certificate. So go to VIO office, i think there is a document they can give u, to cover your DL for a period of 3 months or so, u can take the document to taxify office.

Hajivince:
When we did our site reconnaissance, we observed that the water table is high, the surrounding projects used shallow foundation such as Raft, No excessive deflections noticed in surrounding buildings & the site has been left untouched for 10years so consolidation condition must have been satisfied. Hence, since it is jus one suspended floor, we decided to opt for the shallow (Raft) foundation.


Due to the unevenness of the plot & the level of the plot to the preceeding road level, we decided to dig 300mm from the front of the plot which got to 600mm at the back after taking the level & after scrapping the top soil.... Thanks for following, I hope this answers your question

Great!
Keep us updated
We re following

Nice one
What is the depth of the trenches for d strip footings and what is the nature of d land, that u guys opted for raft foundation?

I imagine how Bolanle would be feeling now, indeed power is transient..if she had been waited and patient, who knws if they would still be in government.. And for Ambode I biliv he learnt his lesson in hardest way. Next time he will knw how not to be a woman rapper

U are right
This is how any man who refuse to correct his wife will end up. When your wife does something wrong, u should at least be able to tell her the truth, because if u don't, she may think what she is doing is right. I hope other men will learn from this & i know Ambode will live to regret his decision on this issue
