juman:
Corruption is major problem, but undetermined "leaders" are bigger problems.

We can learn from some states where corruption is not totally eradicated yet their governors performing well.

nigeria can still move forward greatly with some level of corruption.

how do we 'common' citizens come in? it can't all be about the system and leaders I believe?

Though I believe that the power-hungry British statesmen are capable of making this useless statement but this particular 1 is fake - as Africa was replaced with India in the snapshot below.

The ultimate water... drink some, drink some more

abi.....

* You have a fever?
* You look stressed?
* Looks like you didn’t get enough sleep?

Studies show that it may not be the mosquitoes sometimes, or work, or your baby… it could be you. If you do not drink enough water to improve metabolism in your body, you could look sickly, stressed, or in need of sleep. In that case, it would be your fault. So take the blame for once, and then do something about it.

The average adult body is made up of between 55-60% water, which is an indication as to why it’s so important to replenish and refresh these vital stores. It makes sense that when we get dehydrated our bodies [much like our vehicles] send out clear warning signs that we need to check our fluid levels.

Here are some of the symptoms associated with not drinking enough water.

1. Dry Skin
If at any point, your skin stays dry and chapped despite using lotions or loses its shine due to dehydration, all it desperately needs is to be watered! It could also cause you to have bad breath if you don't drink enough water.

2. You’re dealing with a headache
Headaches are actually a common sign that someone is experiencing mild to moderate dehydration. In fact, an inadequate intake of water can trigger a migraine! Drink only water when experiencing headaches and avoid sugary or overly salty sports beverages, which can worsen dehydration.

3. You’re tired all the time
Pay attention to your routines to make sure that you are getting enough sleep every night. If you are resting well but still feel sluggish and tired all the time, you might be dehydrated. Fatigue can seriously affect your sense of well-being and ability to concentrate; and it can leave you feeling clumsy and prone to accidents. Things could be improved simply by sipping on the right amount of water throughout the day.

4. You’re gaining weight
Believe it or not, an expanding waistline can be a sign that you aren’t drinking enough water. Studies have shown that drinking as little as 500ml (about 17 ounces) of water can boost your metabolism by up to 30%. It’s not surprising therefore that many health and wellness experts include an increase in water consumption among their tips for losing and maintaining weight.

5. You’re coping with constipation
If you’re having a hard time going to the restroom, you just might need to increase your water intake. Biologically speaking, your body needs fluids in order to pass waste through your digestive tract; so if you haven’t had enough to drink, things are going to get a little backed up. In fact, dehydration is a leading cause of chronic constipation.

6. You’ve had a urinary tract infection
Anyone who has ever had a urinary tract infection will probably say that it was one of the most uncomfortable, unpleasant experiences in their life. UTIs are caused by a variety of factors but often arise after bacteria have entered into our bodies. Drinking water helps to flush bacteria from our bladders, thus preventing infection from setting in. Some warning signs that our water intake is too low include dark colored urine or a decreased need to urinate at all.

7. You feel irritable and moody
Some research has shown that just mild dehydration can lead to neurological changes that affect our ability to focus and can cause irritability. Even more shocking is that you only need to be 1% below your optimal level of hydration to feel these negative effects. A simple glass of water might be all you need to turn things around.

8. You’re having muscle cramps
Having muscle cramps can be painful. Typically, people will try stretching or using massage techniques to relieve their symptoms, but what you really need might be much simpler. There might be a relationship between dehydration and muscle cramping. Apparently, our blood circulation slows down when we drink too little water. As our bodies compensate for the lack of hydration, fluid is moved away from our muscles in an effort to protect our vital organs. It’s crucial that we consume enough water every day, but especially in hot weather and when we are exercising.

Ultimately, water is more important than most people think. There have been suggestions that we drink water first thing when we wake up, and last thing before we sleep; before we take a shower; before we eat.

So, why not drink?

can we say he was on-point?

Lord Macaulay's address to the British Parliament on 2nd Feb 1835.

I have traveled across the length and breath of Africa and I have not seen one person who is a beggar, who is a thief, such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such caliber, that I do not think we would ever conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage and therefore, I propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture, for if the African's think that all that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own, they will lose their self-esteem, their native culture and they will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation.

Well I have not used it for soak away before and can't advice on it for now,as the joint might not be totally seal, but the material itself will not allow water to come in between, that is why it can be used for cooler boxes. And on the issue of collapse or giving way it has been proven that after use in a road construction, it retains its shape only about 5% compression in the ground after 30 years.
Maybe what I can do is to send a mail to the manufacturers and if they have used it they should send me pictures of it, which I will upload here

cc: morningsta:

Then i want to believe the polystyrene is reinforced and cast in concrete - this is using polystyrene as a formwork and not as a wall...
I guess what morningsta is asking is just pre-forming polystyrene to the shape of a septic tank and burying it.

Polystyrene alone cannot withstand that load - expect its reinforced and concrete poured in thereby changing it to a formwork - However, please get across to the manufacturers and we all can learn from it.

Thanks.

morningsta:
I just completed my parapet. If only I knew about this alternative ... @ Op, is this material suitable for soak away pit in a loose and swampy soil?

I wont advice its use in the ground;
1. The joints can't be waterproofed, even with the best of methods, water can hardly not find its way
2. The material itself would allow water through, and might eventually give way from wear due to over exposure to nature.
3. If the earth pulls, its not regid enough to prevent a collapse, polystyrene is a light material, even blocks cannot withstand the pull of mother earth.

ceelog:
Please do you have any pictures of its use in slabs? Would be interesting to see!

I'll try laying my hands on a pics; we talking 2012 here.....

If you are a Yoruba person or understand Yoruba language, I will say this: OLOWO LON KO ILE SI ORI OMI!!! its only the rich that can afford to build on water. This is so because they can afford to spend whatever to achieve their goal. They have sizable amount of money that they can use to finishing their building regardless of the troubles associated with watered areas

Rightly Said - The cost of acquiring such land is usually x10 - x100, this implies that you shd have attained a level of wealth or comfort to build there.

The comments above brings us to asking, can we stop corrupt leaders in Nigeria? They've been there for too long...

Dele Jegede cartoon, of 1974 that proofs corruption has been in the system for long.
