Item 3. setting out : setting involve the transferring of information on the structural drawings, architectural drawings and servicing drawings into the ground for construction of a house to be possible.

Setting out can also be done using the following two method:
1. It can be done manually
2. It can also be done using surveyors instrument like total station or a theodolite.

For most bungalow with dimension of building less than 20m in both width and length, manual method can safely be use.
materials for a typical setting out
1. peg
2. Line
3. profile board ( 2 x 2'' soft wood)
4. nail ( 3'', 2'' and 11/2'' nail)
5. Builder's square, plumb, meters rule, tabe etc.

How to estimate materials for setting out
to get number of pegs required;
1. Get the perimeter of the building.
2. increase the perimeter by 25%
3. divide the perimeter by 2 ( i normally spaced my pegs @ 2m c/c)
4. since there are 20 pegs in a bundle and a bundle cost about N1,200. the result from 3 above is further divided by 20 to get the number of bundle and the result is multiply by N1,200 to know the cost of peg.


to get number of profile board ( 2 x 2'' soft wood)
1. using the result of 2 above, divide the result by 3m ( since 2 x 2 comes in 3.6m )
2. since each 2 x 2'' soft wood cost about N200, multiply the result in above by N200 to get the cost of profile.

in summary, it cost about N40,000 for materials and workmanship to set out a typical three bedroom flat bungalow


a typical profile board

Macias Nguema

Macias Nguema was the son of a witch
doctor. Nguema was the first president of
Guinea. Though not as brutal as some other
dictators, he managed to do some of the
weirdest crimes out there. Some of his
crimes include stalking his mistresses’
former lovers. Other crimes he committed
were intellectual murder by killing the
intellectuals of his country. According to
reports , more than a third of Equatorial
Guinea’s population had to flee to other
countries to escape his brutal reign. It was
also reported that he ordered execution of
entire families and villages, during the time
of his reign, the country had neither a
development plan nor proper accounting
system for government funds. Macias
Nguema trusted no one, he spent most of
his time in his ancestral village of Mongomo,
where he kept the national treasury right
under his bed or in suitcases in his hut, but
on the 18th of August in 1979, he met his
end by his own nephew who sentenced him
to death. His nephew Teodoro Obiang
Nguema is still in power to this day.

Said Barre

Siad Barre was a man who seized power
and stayed in power from October 21 1969
to January 26 1991. He adopted socialism
to the so called needs of Somalia. His
influences came from countries such as
China and Russia. Though he attempted a
lot of good, Barre committed a significant
amount of human rights violations such as
jailing dissidents. Barre was also very well
known for using his power to remove all
opposition or people who just didn’t like.
Barre died in political exile in 1995, but was
returned to Somalia for burial in his home
region.

Omar Al-Bashir

Omar Al-bashir is a more recent case of
dictators. His biggest call to fame was in
March 4 2009 when he was issued an arrest
warrant. Omar has been charged with seven
crimes against humanity. Omar planned to
commit genocide against several ethnic
groups such as the Massalit and Zaghawa
groups, Omar is regarded by many today as
one of the worst dictators of Africa.

Hissene Habre

Hissene Habre is one of dictators that didn’t
do too much, but still is a dictator. His rise
to power was from Libya invading Chad.
Habre and his troops defeated Libyan troops
and sent them packing in November 1981.
However, many human rights groups hold
Habre responsible for killing thousands of
people. These killings include massacres
against Hadjerai, and Zaghawa. The Human
Rights watch charged him with authorizing
the murders of tends of thousands of
humans and torturing them while under his
rule.

General Idi Amin Dada

Ever seen that 1981 movie titled “Rise and
Fall of Idi Amin ” or 1976 “Raid on Entebee“?
– Kind of brings back some old memories,
what about “The Last King of
Scotland” (2006) that earned Forest
Whitaker Academy awards best actor, these
movies are based on the events of the brutal
Ugandan dictator Idi Amin. Idi Amin is
someone that doesn’t need too much
introduction, he is one of the worst dictators
of the last 20th century, also known as the
“Butcher of Uganda”. This 6 feet 4 inches
tall Ugandan boxing champion made the
highest rank possible for a Black African
serving in the British Army. This man
committed some unbelievable brutality that
only modern day Mexican drug cartels would
touch, It is belived that at least 300,000
people were killed during his regime. He was
born some time in the mid 1920s in Koboko
Uganda and died in August 18 2003. This
butcher left his mark on the world by using
his infamous killer squads to murder his
opponents and their families. He showed no
mercy to anyone. The scariest thing about
Amin was his ability to change from a
gentleman to an incredibly angry person
with no provocation. Amin is some that has
been described as erratic, unpredictable and
outspoken. After the United Kingdom broke
off all diplomatic relations with his regime in
1977, Amin declared he had defeated the
British and conferred on himself this full title:
“His Excellency, President for Life,
Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin
Dada, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the
Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the
Seas and Conqueror of the British
Empire in Africa in General and Uganda
in Particular”
