The epileptic power supply in Nigeria is tiring, and as usual, I decided to check for areas enjoying at least 10-22 hours power supply daily...I sure have my answers already but discovered Baruwa/Ayobo ipaja has very very bad supply than my area in akowonjo.
Anyone staying around cosmos, 2storey, candos, adebayo odesola close et all to share thr experience with IKEDC
Nigeria we hail thee!!!

Odogunyan in Ikorodu has at least 22 hrs power supply.

pls house am aving a problem with armhole who can put me through. I will appreciate

What kind of problems are you having? This thread has really helped me understand armholes a lot. I too used to have problems.

I know that the difference between the front and back arm hole is 1/2".

I am surprised at most of the comments on this thread.

The Landlord just wants to know if you will be renewing your tenancy so that he can plan to put the property on the market. Is the landlord not a human being? This is the reason why some landlords treat their tenants like shiit.
Treat people the way you will want to be treated . You have got a hidden agenda and you intend keeping your landlord in the dark, do you think this is fair? even some people are telling the OP to stay three months free in the apartment.

There is nothing wrong with telling your landlord that you will not be renewing but you will like to stay till the end of January because you will be relocating due to work.
We Nigerians like to complicate things are so simple. Also what the OP is doing is morally wrong, on Sunday most of us go to church to shout the name of God and look at the kind of advice that is being dished out. Who is going to fight for the rights of landlords?
God help us all.

You will be saving money by learning online from the OP. Its free

A mobile sewing machine can help with those small stitches

https://hadassahlingerie.smemarkethub.com/products/139521/mini-sewing-machine/

I don't think so. I would rather buy a table sewing machine which can deal with all types of sewing.

marylandcakes:
I can only recommend the one I have used which is the Cassie Brown cake Airbrushing kit. It is user friendly. Especially if you are a beginner. It costs about £100.

Thanks for this.

Please recommend an airbrushing machine for me. Thanks

marylandcakes:
While sewing you also have to know how to maintain your machine.
See below how to change your machine light bulb

Thanks for this. I noticed that you placed Fridge bulbs in your machine how safe is that?

Pips,

It should interest you that I doubt the ability of most young ladies in cooking good food (not indomie and egg frying)!

I go to many popular eat-outs and discover that there are always a higher percentage of lady-customers. Most of who do not have pots @ home.

Check out a well-known local food joint around Shitta/Lagos (Olaiya),

Its annoying to get there very hungry (on a weekend/holiday) and find a long queue (all ladies; who should be rehearsing culinary skills needed for their future homes), delaying my ease of great stomach troubles.



Ladies, believe it or not, ability to cook good food will help you in your future homes.

Are you a dinosaur?

Angy55:
Yeah, nothing good about slavery but the chances of escaping and getting freed are higher than when you are in a faraway land.

Says who?

It all depends on luck. In Nigeria here it happens right under our noses and no body says anything. Although I must emphasise the need to differentiate between child labour , exploitation and slavery they should not be mixed up as they are different but in all cases there is always a victim.

Angy55:
100% true but it's better to be a slave in your homeland than be a slave in another man's land

I disagree, it doesn't matter where it happens there is nothing better about slavery.

marylandcakes:
Yes there is that is yourself or a model. The only problem if you are using yourself is you wouldn’t be able to get to the corners and creases or certain parts of your body.

The. Best material to use is muslin , some people call it bath material.

I hope this has answered your queries?

Yes, thanks for your time.

Also is there an alternative to a dummy?
and what kind of material is best for draping?

marylandcakes:
this is the pattern for this design.

You make draping look so easy in this video.

marylandcakes:
this is the pattern for this design.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1bRARs60nE

thanks for this video.

My question regarding this draping.

I am thinking of getting a sewing dummy, have you got any recommendations or advice?

Secondly, does this mean that any style I want I can just drape the pattern on the dummy?

Finally does it have to be the same size as me?

Please the time you spent analysing this wedding, can you use it too analyse all the infrastructural problems in Edo state and submit to the Government.

It depends on what you are giving

marylandcakes:

I am appalled at the depth of ignorance the Nigerian youth is sick of.
So this ignorance is real? So up till now you have not read smething
as simple as the tenancy laws of the State you live in. Anyways,
many of you are squatters who sleep on the floor, or you live under the
bridge, or taking refuge in a church or are even being housed and fed by parents
as a jobless 30 yr old No wonder politicians know their children
will take over and rule the olodos on Nairaland forever.

As for the poster, the purpose of notice to quit is to inform you that the landlord
wants you out in 3 or 6 months or as the case may be, so that you can spend that
time looking for an alternative. No law requires the landlord to become a philantropist
during that time. If you think the period should be for free, then answer these. If you receive a quit
notice;

1. Do you eat? Is the food for free?
2. Do you transport or buy fuel? Which comes free?
3. Do you make calls? You get vouchers free?
4. D you get free beer at the bar?

A year ago I gave one of my tenants the shocker of his life
My client built the 6 flats in 2012 and all tenants moved in same time.
This particular one became a problem within one year. He fought two
other tenants, the security guard, the landlord and even myself.

6 months before expiration of his rent I served him quit notice. He
boasted he would live there for 3 years and move away not paying.

Then I sued him at the Rent Tribunal. He and his lawyer came once and
thereafter stayed away. Happily but patiently, I argued my case and after
two years I got jugdment. The court ordered him to pay the N1.8 million rent
arrears including the six months notice period and quit within one month.
I refused to let him know about this until the one month had elapsed, then I
reported back to court that he neither paid nor quit and applied for an eviction order.
After listening, the magistrate granted my prayers.

The eviction order was to throw everybody found in that flat outside the gate
and bring all his property including his car to the court so that it could be auctioned
to pay his gbese. Then I liaised with the Sheriff and Police and after approval, a date was picked.

He had dressed up for work that day when we arrived at 6.am
Suddenly, the strong man was running helter skelter, kneeling before me, calling to beg
the landlord, asking people to intervene etc. We as he was doing this, the dutiful
sheriff were busy bringing down all his property and loading them in the truck

To cut it short, that was how a deputy manager was left stranded outside the gate as
the truck drove off and his Jeep followed. 3 weeks later, he went to the Sheriff section and
paid N1.8 million to to redeem his property and the call me to come take my money.

So be careful. Don't listen to the dumbos who tell you here "It is free naa"

If your landlord hire me peren, I will castrate you oo.

Now you are speaking my language

Metrics4tea:
A female friend of mine wants to learn cake baking. Please if you know any cake baking training school or where she can learn cake baking, let me know
Thank you.

If you go on you tube you will find many tutorials

So you mean a landlord will spend his hard earned cash to build a house for someone to come and stay free of charge. No wonder property investment in Nigeria is one big joke.

marylandcakes:
Thanks for your continued support. The tutorial should be coming out soon.

You are welcome, and I continue to wait in anticipation.

mebad:
for the ones shouting wow like police siren ... what will u say if you this?

Me was thinking same, this innovation has been around longest time and the telly slides into an enclosure. The carpenter try no be small, but there are better makes in the market.

marylandcakes:
Yes I will like to take on this project. Thanks

Thanks in advance I am already looking forward to this, also just to let you know that I have subscribed to your YouTube channel. I think your tutorials are great. Keep up the great work.

Just the top part, even if its just the pattern tutorial. Thanks

marylandcakes:
If it happens to be in my next project, although I’m not a great fan of open back dresses but we’ll see.

@ OP This is the kind of open back I met, I too don't like backless.

What about Makoko ? it is island abi?

@ OP can you please show us how to sew this high neck blouse with open back that is in vogue from scratch? Thanks
