FIrst draw CRS obviously depends on what the pool looks like at the time and the number of ITAs...it's anyone's guess.....once they start regularly, hopefully the CRS should reduce as they conduct more draws, all things being equal.

Thanks for the clarification.. I hope FSW draws happen this year, as at Monday 08/11/2021 there are over 25,500 applicants with a CRS of Above 471.

GraciousWords:


Depending on your NOC, you'd be perfect for OINP HCP....provided you don't claim the 15 sibling points, this takes you to 465.

Read more on the OINP website.

Once all programs draws start, with 3k per draw, within 4 draws or so they'll be at 481, all things being equal.

I am confused about this statement, are u implying that when the next FSW draws hold, the points would be above 480? If I may ask, what point range are u looking at?

EgunMogaji2:


I'll go with an Architect as per USA standard but will ask that he's experienced.

Thanks for your response, looking forward to other responses... Would edit my initial post to also include a new street terminology

Ndyoo:
It's so hard to actually know who's real and who's not. I am tired of Nigeria. How do you get proof of training, competence and experience from a building expert like you mentioned? Ask the person to provide certificate or what? I once encountered an architect that claims to be a building expert. Now the question is, would you allow an architect to build your house? And the big names here on nairaland.com will scare you away with their quotes because they are trying to create some buffer do to inflation. It's just tiring mehn.

In addition to this, who is expected to build a house?
1. Take for example I want to build a bungalow or a duplex, who should build it, is it a builder, a civil engineer, an architect, a QS, or a building contractor ( someone who just brings and manages artisans)?

2. What criteria determines the knowledge/license of someone who can build a house?
a). Is it by the formal education they have received
b). Years of practice/ on the job experience ( informal education)?
c). Number of trainings they have attended on buildings/ constructions?

It would also be good if the professionals in the house can identify with their trade/training/area of expertise..

pricy007:
okay sir.

@Gbadexy pls your advise is highly needed sir

I'm just thinking aloud, since you know Gbadexy is an expert in paint production and painting, don't u think it would be a good idea for you to give him the project? Atleast u will be rest assured of the quality of the paints.


Just my 1cent

twinskenny:


Yes

That's interesting... I have strong ties to that area, infact Engineer Ogunfuwa is a friend and Neighbor. He has worked on numerous projects for me and my family. Infact he was still on the site of a family project some weeks ago..

25 mason from my Neighbourhood were also inside the collapse building…one of them just welcome a new baby damn…

Do you stay around Aseese/Ascon in Ibafo?

I agree with you to an extent, but I have a question for u at the bolded.. what is the work/usefulness of the double pivot (mcfred) used by OLE if they can't provide basic cover for a LB or RB?

GloryIsaac:
Tuchel’s system doesn’t care who plays LWB or RWB. Once whoever is deployed there can heed to his instructions, chances are they’ll play well.

The Chilwell noise-making is baseless, because if Alonso or Azpilicueta played there, they’ll also perform well. Only Odoi seems to have an issue playing as a wing-back.

So, if it’s based on recent performance, might as well say Alonso and Azpilicueta are better than Shaw too, as LBs. Which isn’t true.

Also, Tuchel’s system gives his wing-backs some defensive protection and more freedom to attack, unlike United where the LB has to handle both offense and defense.

Once Shaw moves to attack, his space is left open. There’s no cover, unlike at shekpe where the third CB or the Anchorman covers the LWB or RWB.

Chilwell is good, but comparing him to Shaw because he’s benefiting from a working system is being completely mischievous. Shaw will eat good if he enjoyed a similar privilege.

Ajiswaggs:
yes, I will collect another quotation soon. Just wanted to confirm if it worth the #43000 per window he wrote.

Why not get a quote from @RockOfAgesAlumi and from @Adedward... They are our in-house aluminium vendors..
N:B apply your due diligence before you engage d services of anyone

Happy birthday Naptu2.. You are an enigma.. your knowledge and depth of information cannot be rivaled by anyone on NL. Your use of various social media platforms even makes me envious (at one point I was questioning if you are a young man but I have learnt from ur posts and how u recall events from memory that u are an ancestor )

I have a request, pls can you be more explicit when you post on your diary.. You make reference to events that are yet to happen and u just drop them without giving any hints as to specifics..

Happy birthday once again.

ednut1:

Regardless of the option you will spend over 12k . As for me i dont have strengh for all this , going for CPA usa- 4 papers and costs less than 1k lol. Will just move to usa later or work remotely.make nobody stress me abeg

@ednut1 and other finance professionals... Pls what's the way forward with getting the CPA title, since they didn't renew their MRA with ACCA, what other routes are available? What level would an ICAN holder start from?

Noted with thanks

rotecch77:


It’s a mini flats (1room, 1 sittingroom. 2toilets 1 kit )

Please what's the composition of the flats? Is it 2 bedroom flats all through? Or a mix of 1/2/3 bedroom flats

Don't get me wrong.I am not against u referring other artisans.

I am just saying " refer and move on", " refer and put a caveat"... Never use words like I am sure he will deliver (it can be termed as constructive obligation on your path)

I come in peace

twinskenny:


some of us are products of referrers i will take myself as an example... most of my clients i dont know them, they will tell me that someone refer me to them,. I don't take that grace for granted. the borehole guy just was just an unfortunate person, i told him if he deliver back then that I will keep referring him to more clients... there are lots of people on this forum that i can refers with my eyes closed.. what i have learnt is that i will not receive payment on your behalf ..

i was to travelled to far east some times ago, and the client asked me to source for best plumber, kitchen cabinet, painter, pop and all for him.. i did that for him without any incentive.

twinskenny:
check @Idnoble80 I believe he will deliver

Oga e b like say you never learn from your last experience... If u want to make any recommendations, just type the person's name and move on.. which one is I believe he will deliver if he doesn't deliver and you are dragged here, u will expect people to sympathize with u

EgunMogaji2:


If you’re the electrical contractor hinted about by the client, will you allow him to at least pay for estimated materials?

Not sure if you guys do that in Nigeria,

I don't know if he is the potential electrical contractor, however,I know that your recommendation might not be possible because even the major wiring factories have all increased their prices and have paused receiving payments from their distributors.

Building right now is so tough and challenging.. someone made a recommendation recently here that a owner/builder should look for a cement distributor and pay well in advance to lock current cement prices.. I laugh at such recommendations because the distributor would at best offer to refund the money paid when the time comes to deliver d cement paid for.

I can see that the elders are online and reading all these back and forth. I hope and pray that all these comes to an end...

@n3xt, can u please practice what u preach... Pls stop responding and arguing with your client online. When u both sealed the contract, it wasn't done online.

As u have always preached, put a call to the client and sort out whatever outstandings u have on his project.

This job was an opportunity for you to clean up the mess and bad reputation that u were known for on this forum. It is so sad seeing that u are on the verge of messing it up.

Now I understand why people like Hajj and the other respected elders have always warned newbies about u.

Here we go again
Can't we just have a smooth building transaction that doesn't always have to come to online fist cuffs?
@n3xt, can u answer this simple question, why always U? I have never read on this forum of any client bringing their complaints online against spyder88, abdulwastecx. I have been here long enough over (10 years) and I have watched and observed both d newbies and the oldies.

This just re-echoes what we usually say on this thread, no be everything be police/soldier... Most times those area boys/omoonile usually have their good days and thats why one should keep a good arm's length rltnshp with them.

Omoburuku ma lo jo

Boss the property is fenced o, Even the estate is fenced with a gate, the boys dig big hole in my fence to move the rods..........these guys are desperate...


Boss, i done recover my rods back o.........area boys enter street for me..............all 15 stolen 10mm rod come out complete.......

Nero2424:


Maybe telling your workers you do not intend screeding the house even if you intend to will make them give you a good plaster job. I plan doing this.

and maybe additional incentives to the workers, I think @n3xt should share his input on the best way to get the best out of plastering workers.. he is good with people and performance mgnt

Nero2424:


Back in the days people dont screed their houses but this days it's like norm. What really changed? Am planning on screeding my on going project though, maybe because everyone else is talking about it or doing it.

Again, what will happen if dont screed

A similar statement made was some years back by Brabus, I remembered he saying that it boils down to the quality of workmanship of the plasterers.. even brabus now screeds his buildings... I think screeding has come to stay

Ifywhyteman:
I greet you sirs and mas...Pls do we have anyone or family coming from Abuja in early October? Pls I need someone or people to accompany. Heading to Saskatchewan. Thanks

Hello everyone,
Do you know of any reliable shippers from Lagos to Toronto?
I have some dry food items (Total under 30Kg) to ship down from there.
Thanks

Check out @canadacargo on instagram

I remember that thread... You talked about importing the car for personal use from UK and something with converting it from RHD to LHD.

erico2k2:

U know, I can tell that some persons never import anything into 9ja from their stories.There is nothing you wont find in 9ja mkt unless you dont look in the right places.my personal story, I dnt know if you saw my range rover thread: anyways I bought the front wind shield for nearly £1200, was going to ship it with the car, o n same day nah so I say make I shift the glass small make I put something inside car nah so I hear chaaa chaa cha, glass shattered, I was so upset and frustrated. I called my boy at Lagos to go and price glass for 2013 range rover sport cos I dnt wanna risk it again shipping it in the back nah so E come back say Oga nah N25K both fixing and buying, I said are you sure he said yes Oga nah Ware house, Chinese people get big factory here nah there we all dey buy any glass. Behold when I arrived I only paid N25k, the moral of my story is this. We have the best of the best in our makt in Nigeria for Nigerians, its just have to do with the size of ones pocket and they way you carry your self plus expectations!

Pls would appreciate it if you can share pictures of the doors when they arrive Nigeria.

Would like to compare them with what is obtainable in The Nigerian premium wooden door market.

I know some here has posted some high quality wooden doors in the past, would like to see the difference btw our high quality wooden doors and the foreign wooden doors you ll be importing.

diordaves:


Forget abroad levels. I be Warri-Sapele brought up. 18 foot, yes but straight no bend? That thing is looking for a virgin in a maternity ward.

Straight wood die with AT&P. But one can't know it all. Please share the area for Sapele and I will send someone to check it out. I'm about to import wooden doors from B&Q because of the poor cut quality of woods available. I will need a lot of recutting and sanding to get the doors to the quality finish I want and I don't want to do this.

This posts reminds me of when my dad used to be a contractor with JB and Costain. He was supplying them with woods, I would hear him begging his guys to ensure they follow the exact specifications on the job order... Sometimes the woods are rejected during delivery whenever the QC spots any inconsistency. However, these companies paid premium price for the quality they desire.

n3xt:


This is so wrong though.

Would sawmillers sell crooked and substandard woods if some people are not buying them?

Well we are different though. I knew what I want and I paid the price.

Meanwhile there’s Julius Berger AFP for those who want best of naija woods
