This can only be for projects where professionals are in charge and there is regular site meeting with progress reports done not in the local 2 bed flat

There is no small project - If you're building a gate house on a waterlogged site, a Method Statement is your best friend.... No matter how small, doing it right shd be in mind..... even if its not as celebrated / documented like on the BIG projects - it shd be scripted on a piece of paper.

Education › Nigeria's First Millionaire by saydfact(op): 9:33pm On Jul 04, 2017

THE UNFORGETTABLE NIGERIAN

NIGERIA'S FIRST MILLIONAIRE

CANDIDO JOAO DA ROCHA (1860 - 1959)

Have you ever asked any of your parents for money, especially continuously, and they gave you this reply: “Do you think I’m da Rocha?”
Well, I experienced it and growing up, I never knew the meaning of the statement, until I came across a book a friend gave me, when I stumbled on the name “Candido da Rocha”.
He was a rich man who would, from the balcony of his one-storey building, throw down coins to children who would, in a tangle of bodies and flapping hands, struggle for them. So, I remembered vividly why my parents denies being “a da Rocha” anytime I ask for monies I don’t literally need as a child.

Also known as Nigeria’s first millionaire, he was a rich entrepreneur, businessman, landowner and creditor who owned Water House or Casa d’Agua on Kakawa Street, Lagos Island, Lagos. It was named Water House because it was the first and only house in Lagos in those days to have a borehole and in turn sell water to the residents.

Candido da Rocha, a native of Ilesha, present day, Osun State, was born to the family of Joao Esan da Rocha, who was captured as a slave when he was 10 years old on his way to school in Ilesha. Candido was born in the Bahia region of Brazil. His mother was Angelica Josephina da Rocha. His father returned to Lagos, Nigeria in the 1870’s where he built his wealth and passed it to his son, Candido.

Due to his wealth, his friend, Herbert Macaulay, nominated him as a candidate in one of the elections of the time. And when da Rocha met the electorate, he told them: “I am Candido da Rocha, your candidate into the House. Vote for me if you like. And if you don’t, all well and good.” That statement ended his sojourn in politics as he lost the elections with acquiring just 20 votes.

Indeed, da Rocha was a very modest and generous capitalist.
During the Second World War (1939 - 1945), when the authorities of Kings College were looking for a place to relocate the students in the boarding house – among whom were Tiamiyu Bello-Osagie, who would become one of Nigeria’s most celebrated gynaecologists; Adenekan Ademola, son of Nigeria’s first indigenous Chief Justice, Adetokunbo Ademola; Dapo Aderemi, son of Sir Adesoji Aderemi, the legendary Onni of Ile-Ife – da Rocha volunteered his Bonanza Hotel on Customs Street, Lagos, and did not collect a dime for the period it was used.

Even after the war, when government asked influential Nigerians to contribute to the rehabilitations fund, he made substantial donations and he instructed that the amount should not be disclosed to the public.

Despite his wealth and political clout, no street in Lagos is named after him. Candido da Rocha died in 1959 and his remains lies at the Ikoyi Cemetery.

What is a 'Method Statement' ?

A Method statement is a safe work method statement or procedure prepared especially for high risk task, it highlights the various tools, machinery, personnel and step by step process of getting the work done.

Method statement is part of the safety requirements on site, and are usually approved by the consultants / contractors before such high risk work are carried out.

Purpose of 'Method Statement'

The primary purpose of a Safe Work Method Statement 'SWMS' is to help both supervisors and workers or any body involved in the work realize the risk involved and also understand the requirements (tools, equipment etc) and procedure that have been established to carry out the high risk construction work ensuring safety of persons and structures alike.

The method statement should outline the hazards involved and include a step by step guide on how to complete the job safely.

Importance of 'Method Statement'

The SWMS will provide information about the types of high risk construction work being done, the health and safety hazards and risks arising from that work, how the risks will be avoided or controlled and how the risk control measures will be put in place.

It is important to note that having a SWMS in place is not enough, work must be carried out in accordance with the SWMS and if not being done according to the SWMS, such work must be halted immediately.

The Safe Work Method Statement 'SWMS' should also be reviewed if a control measure does not control the risk or a request for a review is received from a health and safety representative or the consultant on site.

Example of Work where 'Method Statement' is considered important

If you're doing a demolition work, say for example breaking down concrete works after they have been cast, demolishing a slab, a cantilever or simpler task like partly removing supports to decking before 21 curing days etc.

A method statement should always be prepared for difficult task, analyzed and works carried out accordingly to ensure safety of life and properties.

Note: While it is important to prepare method statement for certain work (e.g demolishing an existing balcony or boring through a slab), there are other work which might necessarily not require a method statement (e.g casting of concrete slab). - However having a method statement enhances the quality and safety of the job and workmen.

Family › The Unspoken Words Of A House Girl by saydfact(op): 12:14pm On Jul 03, 2017

I'm a house girl..

Well, that's what they call me; But my name is Ayo. But in my life, there is no joy. Although there is no joy, I have to smile and act like all is well.

My Oga forgets my name most times. When I hear him shout... Omo yii da? I know he's looking for me to do one work or the other. Work! work!! work!!! is all I do.
I have no life.
I am just a house help.
My madam cannot do without me, the only thing I don't do is bathe her. I have been loyal to her but she treats me like a rag and if I dare look at her husband's face when I greet him, she thinks I want to snatch him.

Madam's children are treated like princesses and I am like a slave for these children, although they are same age as me. They wear pretty clothes and I have no choice but to wait for the clothes to become rags, before they will dash me to wear.

Gate man and driver think I am their automatic entitlement just because I am a house girl. Why do people think that house helps will sleep with driver or gateman?

Just because I am a house help does not mean I have no respect for myself. Life has not been kind to me, misfortune has followed me from the day I was born; If I had a choice in life I would never choose the life that I have.

Everyone treats me less than a human but I have no right to complain. People call me different names, so I am the only one that knows who I really am.

House helps are seen as witches, thieves, husband snatchers, gateman's girlfriend, driver's girls, slaves etc. But God knows who I am.

This house can't function without me yet no one respects me. I am the first to rise in the morning and the last to go to bed but no one ever asks how I'm coping; Life is cruel I must say and I hate to wake another day. Before you treat me the way you do, remember I have feelings just like you.

Please share this post if you are against the mistreatment of house helps, who are mistreated daily, beaten, raped and even killed...

They may have no voice but we can speak up for them by sharing this post.

[quote author=olu_77 post=57653784]Emeka should just face his spare part business and make sure he clears his container on time before government increases tariffs again and if he can find someone to buy his fairly used CCTV camera, maybe on jiji, he should sell it. Why? Because, knowledge of a cheating partner is worth nothing. Not even a #20 paracetamol.
