geovidal:
Has anybody use lubex 5w30 synthetic oil? Share your experiences.

Started using it last month, and no complaints so far. I'm still observing anyway.

chuksp09:
where can i order it?

You can order from Jumia. Got mine during their anniversary promo @63k. It sells for 70k now.

Currently using the phone and total satisfaction so far

The same Nigerians complaining about corruption are still the ones telling the OP to pay for a job... This is the very definition of hypocrisy.

@ Op, my advice to you is to return the money to your friend and move on. Note that scam artists target desperate and gullible people the most.

Is the land gazetted?

abdulwastecx:
hardcore is important but building can do without it especially in areas where boulder is very expensive. Most houses here in Rivers don't have
hardcore in them. For bungalow without hardcore the laterite filling or sharp sand filling should be compacted very well manually or using a vibrator at interval of 150mm (6" and wet properly.

Columns are not necessary in bungalows because they are built on the assumptions that the partition walls are load bearer. Since, sancrete block sold in Nigeria are of lower quality it is safer and preferable to include some columns at critical span to reduce direct load on the partition walls. The cost of such columns in many cases are considerably low compare to the work they do ( check above the cost i gave for the columns in the building above)

Thanks a lot. More power to your elbows.

Hi Abdul,

Lovely thread you've got here, learnt so much that my contractor gets scared whenever I ask questions...

I have a few questions for you based on a project I'm about to embark on:

1) Is Hardcore (boulder) required for bungalow foundation in a dry piece of land?

2) Are columns needed for bungalows that do not have parapet?

@luvinhubby, how can I contact you?

roosebolton: Kia and Hyundai are very strong brands and make very reliable cars which are now on similar footing with their Japanese counterparts. It just so happened that they started by making cheap unreliable cars and because the auto industry has a long memory.. It's has been hard to shake out that past perception. Japanese cars also had Similar problems in the 60s and 70s. I wouldn't worry about their performance. What I would worry about is their second hand value which (thanks to general perception about the car) is not good. The car loses close 60% of its value within 6 of months of use. Also the after warranty maintenance can be expensive compared to Japanese cars. But if u intend on keeping the car for long. U don't have to worry about the second hand value. And might be good to get an extended warranty after the expiration of the initial 3 years warranty.

@roosebolton, Thanks for your reassuring response. I'm actually targetting a long term usage for whichever car I decide on, which is why I'm considering a brand new purchase. Thanks again.

@Chifreke, thanks for your opinion. Can you also tell me the reason behind your suggestion with respect to the keyless cerato? Because that's the one i'm considering right now. @Bissalla, thanks so much, I appreciate your comment and will certainly consider it.

There's this common belief in nigeria that both the kia cerato and hyundai elantra cars are not strong brands and aren't reliable either. When these cars are purchased brand new, what's the performance like, compared to other cars in the same section? Please your honest opinions and experiences will be highly appreciated.

@ all,u better honour the invitation. I got my first job via a similar invitation. Many multinationals agree with workforce not to disclose the name of the company,so that senior managers in such companies will not influence the recruitment process... Let he,who has ears,hear

Its a scam. NB plc will neva issue u a letter in soft copy. For a formal appointment,u must be invited to their Head Office at Iganmu,lagos. Any recruitment exercise that demands money from u is fraudulent.

madam_oringo: FINALLY you betray the reason you were asking the question! Not for the sake of knowledge, enthusiasm or eagerness for progress or to make your life, that of others or daily commute easier but to satiate your dark side - that satanic, never-do-well and tribalistic disposition that makes you people quake and shiver at the pace of progress in the West (Yorubas and their brothers)! Well, it is not new but may your lot be always looking for pitfalls and downfalls while the Westerners progress, even far much more than the ebullient and far-sighted visionary leader Chief Obafemi Awolowo lead his people! May you people eat your hearts out as you despair, and only consolation is that for the meantime, you do not need visas to go to the Western part of Nigeria! When and if Nigeria breaks, every Ibo WILL and MUST be deported! You will have to prove your lineage to the 3rd ancestral generation before you are accepted in the progressive lands of the Yorubas!

y dis long rubbish

... And shakira scores

Barca without messi=arsenal

@op,when u come to naija and ure kidnapped, dont cry foul.lol.
Enjoy urself bro

RIP to d dead

rman: 70mph is like 120kmph, it is ok.

Yea,my mistake,I was thinking in kmph
But most luxury buses do not exceed 120kmph, ABC is 90,young shall grow 110-120, ekenedilichukwu 110

otokx: @shabz

70mph is not so bad

Boss,ABC transport doesn't exceed 90,and u get to spend the whole day on the road when travelling... I patronize them though, but 70?? Haba

@obo_man,so buses with more than 10 passengers should b restricted to 70mph Are u kidding me?
And WTF do u mean by vehicle breakdown charge? My friend b rational... Then d govt should build alternative roads in case of accidents;so when there's no accident,what happens to the alternative roads Please think b4 u post,no offense...
@others, the trailer tyre reportedly burst and ure blaming d govt Smh
RIP to the dead

Its still a surprise to me,that a supposed literate nigerian would post things on nairaland like "make dem pursue mtn comot for nigeria"... Like seriously? Only a Telecoms professional would understand the plight of MTN. Their sites are being targeted and some misguided nigerians are happy. The fact remains that any of the other networks in d country would crumble with the number of subscribers MTN has. On my own part,I believe I've seen considerable increase in terms of performance from them. Besides,if they leave the country, who'll employ the thousands of staff they have? Na wa for una o #i no b mtn staff sha,make una no yab me.lol

sixteen08: Yeeeepa KILODE!!!
Men dey vex oooo ....na e-para b dis ooo

I de vex because when a fresher in d labour market sees the op's attitude,he/she may want to adopt it in the name of "standing out". A ceo told him to use soft copies... And he assumes that all ceos' hv the same mindset. Smh 4 dat fellow. The same fellow got a negative feedback w.r.t d use of laptop,and he's still trying to justify his act. He used his laptop when he wanted to ask the interviewer questions... Does dis mean that his brain is too small to accomodate the questions he should ask Besides,I've been to interviews in the past where the interviewer provides u with a laptop. ( With the needed software already installed),and a projector to make presentations... And this fellow is talking like other people didn't go through interview processes for their jobs.
@sisi,I knw it was uncalled for,but that was the first thing that came to my brain when I saw the OP's rants... I really hate people who can't take corrections constructively

@gparker,I say dis with all possible respect,ure a fool. A stubborn,forking biatch

cr7lomo.:
A brand new 2010 boeing airline goes for 13 billion naira only, y cnt jonathan tk care of d industry easily. He can approve 260 billion 4 20 flights nd these flihghts can b as cheap as 6k , just 2 mk it easy 4 us. But dey r so wicked dat dey dnt want d poor ard dem. Dats y d power sector wud neva b stable. Wicked government. Dat man sudnt b elected again

260 billion Hw much is our budget that u want such a huge fund to b invested in buying aircrafts... Not to even mention operational,administrative and maintenance costs

Goddex: Tinubu is by far a much bigger thief than Alams but is
moving freely and even calling the shots in South West politics.

Alams wealth is not up to 5 percent of Tinubu's. He may have sinned,
but is sorry for his sins and is forgiven, simple. GEJ alone is not Council of State.
Council of State include: All former Heads of State,President and Vice-President, Ministers,
Senate President and Speaker House of Reps, All governors.

olodo

A real company will neva name herself HARMONY NIGERIA, dat name sounds so unreal. Secondly,a supposed mutinational (with network of 58 countries),uses a gmail domain account... Like seriously? @OP,r u a learner? I appreciate intelligent scam artists,not foolish ones like u

Phikom: whats d dream job?

I'm an escort for british female expatriates. Hope you're now happy

I also got the invitation today. I've googled it and remembered applying for it. I believe its a genuine company, but won't honour it cos I already hv my dream job. But whoever gets the invite and is unemployed,should go for it

To whoever said their salary is 80k,plz b sure about that cos that might discourage pple from attending the interview... @odas,plz if u can make out time to attend it,try to attend,d offer might just surprise u

obi4eze: Sorry sir but the last time I checked, SE last won the Cup on 10 April 1994 so by the reckoning of time, April 10 this year would make it 19 years since they won the Cup. That's 18years plus but not exactly 19 years. Thank you sir.

Clap for urself,we knw u can count.
