Biden shouldn't go for a second term. He has made his point by ousting Trump.

He should retire with His dignity intact.

I like him.

Christianity EtcRe: You Shall Not Die- Osinachi's Children Pray For Her On Her Last Birthday (Video) by rukyboy(m): 5:06pm On Apr 12, 2022
hopefulLandlord:
"You shall not die" they prayed from a small country located off the coast of West Africa to a god that resides in Israel, likes mount Horeb, called the Jewish people his chosen ones and promises "new Jerusalem"

They prayed to a god that saw nothing wrong in slavery and works in mysterious ways, so mysterious that it's totally indistinguishable from random chance. Nothing fails like prayer
You would have the same success praying to a milk jug as you do praying to god -- the milk jug sometimes answers your prayer the way you want to, sometimes not and sometimes the answer is delayed. See the problem here? If things turn out the way you want them to, you say it was because you prayed. If not, it's because god knows what's best and you didn't pray for the right thing. Or, if it happens 10 years later you say god answered your prayer, it was just delayed. This is nonsense.


Nigeria is filled with a population that prays against poverty, only for her to be declared the poverty capital of the world http://punchng.com/with-87m-poor-citizens-nigeria-overtakes-india-as-worlds-poverty-capital/ a sign that the prayer worked

This is also why Nigerians keep praying for long life and our life expectancy keeps dropping which is now 54.5 years (the 7th lowest in the world) while a prayerless Japan comprising of atheist majority has a life expectancy of 83.7 years (highest in the world)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_life_expectancy

This is also why Nigeria is filled with a population that all claim to be "God Fearing" but has the 14th highest crime rate in the world while an atheist Japan filled with "sinners" "Reprobate" "people who don't fear god" "heathens" "infidels" have the lowest crime rate in the world https://www.numbeo.com/crime/rankings_by_country.jsp

FamilyRe: Is Modern Marriage A Scam? My Own Story by rukyboy(m): 10:41am On Apr 10, 2022
ibechris:
U cant buy property in your baby mama's name now...but I have purchased property on two occasions with my wife's name without any need to regret it. But u dare not with your baby mama or girl friend
I have kept all my life savings in my wife's personal accounts which many of u dare not do with your baby mama's out there.

On the day of my wedding I got a jeep from my brother but u can't get it from impregnating a baby mama.

Guy,I still maintain my stand,that marriage is good. I and my wife have made 6.6million naira in three months just for working together as partners in our side hustle. But u can never achieve that with your baby mama's.
You are just lucky you married one of the few good women left.

Most women are leeches . Just out to get what they can from a man.

Total sqm is 380.

The height of the roof I can't say accurately but they joined 2 length of 2by6 planks for each of the "kinpost".

Note that i am not a builder. I opened the thread mainly because it's a personal project and maybe some people might find it useful.
Thanks.

But I meant the total sqm of your floor area.

Not the roof.

@seanwilliam

For the roof, I bought;
500 pieces of 2by4 (hardwood)
400 pieces of 2by3 (hardwood)
24 pieces of 2by6 (hardwood)
nails

The wood, nails and transport cost about 700,000 Naira.

The carpenter collected 90,000 Naira.


I bought 380sqm gerard shingles at the rate of 3,250 per sqm.

Ridges and gutter, 145,000 Naira.

Transport of gerard to the site 35,000 Naira.

Covering of the house 70,000 Naira.

These are the major ones.
Well done

Pls I have 2 questions

1. What's the total sqm of your building.

2. What's the height of your roof.

Thanks

Beedude:
Met online, claimed to be a big girl. Came with a Lexus on first date. I ordered something of 3k but she order 15k. I paid and we move.
2 days later, she made a disress call that she forgot her ATM at home while going to work and she already filled up her car with fuel of 13k in the station. So i should bail her out with 15k. She wanted to send the fuel attendant account. I told her bluntly, why cant u do the transfer from your own account since you only forgot your cards and not your phones.
She hissed and hung up immediately.
I helped her by blocking her on every platform she can reach me on.
Some ladies are just mad
Lucky you. She was about to pull a Tinder Swindler stunt on you. You gerrit?

BusinessRe: My Bank Just Overpaid Me By 32k by rukyboy(m): 3:55pm On Mar 02, 2022
Emmayorejoice:
I needed to withdraw 35k this morning in order to attend to some urgent cash needs and since I didn't want only N1000 notes I decided to enter the banking hall. To avoid issues I arrived before 8 am and was one of the first to be attended to. The cashier paid me with N20k bundle and counted 15k with the counting machine twice and gave me my bundle. I didnt bother to do another count as I saw her use the machine twice. Only for me to get back home and realise I had an extra N32k. I counted and recounted but it was an excess.

Truth be told times could be much better Covid and Buhari did not help matters but as a Christian I know not to keep what is not mine. God knows it could have solved a lot of problems but its best to wait for what is mine so i had to go back to the bank and wait to see the Teller. Looking at her interact with her colleagues one could tell she was not happy.
When it was my turn she asked what kind of transaction I wanted and I just handed her the N32k. The relief and joy on her face could not be hidden. She had already told her colleague beside her that she was short so they both joined in telling me thank you.

As usual some may say I was foolish for returning the money but either a young lady could have lost her job in these terrible times or at least the money would be removed from her salary which is still bad enough.
My only prayer is God should consider this and remember me for good.
Well done!. God bless bro

Its difficult, if he used 6" blocks, you will have only 6"x6" columns, the only option now is to reduce the load on the house, use 6" hollow blocks for the walls and also explore the use of thinner slabs that can reduce the load on the foundation columns.
OK thanks

Completing the foundation blocks in this site............
Good day. I want to make an enquiry pls. I recently started a building project
A storey building of 2 flats up and two flats down.

My builder used 6 inches solid blocks for my foundation .

I recently discovered that he shouldn't have done that. But its too late now cos the foundation has been filled with filling sand already.
.
I want to know if there's any remedy we can take going forward to preserve the integrity and strength of the building.

.thanks

Most of those guys holding those positions are just political thugs .

Barely educated people

The fact that he got an appointment from his godfather as compensation for one thing or the other doesn't increase his worth as a person.

When I heard the father of the boy speak. I'm sorry to say he didn't sound very educated or enlightened.

Also when I hear that the boy was taken to that church in warri owned by one deranged lunatic that claims to have seen Jesus face to face. I can only agree that the parents were negligent in the way they handled the whole issue.

I'm taking sides with the school on this one.
