Lagos' flood-beating floating school nears completion
Design and urbanism practice NLÉ, led by Nigerian architect Kunle Adeyemi, is building a new multilevel school in Makoko – a region of Nigeria's most populous city, Lagos. While that doesn't sound too unusual, the difference here is that in an effort to address the issues of land scarcity and poor waste management that affect the flood-prone area, this school is being built on floating platforms.
Designed for 100 pupils and their teaching staff, the Makoko School is 108 sq. ft. (10 sq. m) at its base, 33 ft (10 m) high. The design uses approximately 256 plastic drums to float on the water and the frame is constructed using locally sourced wood. Solar panels are planned to provide electricity along with rainwater harvesting to facilitate the newly installed compost toilets as a solution to the non-existent sewerage system. The design team has included a playground on the base level with a further two floors for classrooms above.

As Nigeria’s commercial capital and economic center, Lagos has an estimated population of fifteen million which makes it larger than London, Buenos Aires and Beijing. The 250,000 strong community of Makoko has lived in stilt houses above a lagoon for generations. The waterway lifestyle, where daily travel takes place in canoes, prompted Portuguese colonists to name the city Lagos (which means "lakes" and the longest bridge in Africa connects the main city to the lagoon islands. In the last year local and national discussions have taken place about the impact of climate change upon the water settlements as rising sea levels, coastal erosion and tropical rains have overwhelmed the current system.
NLÉ hopes the Makoko School design will be a prototype to improve the architecture and urbanism of African coastal cities and create floating homes, community centers and play spaces. Kunle Adeyemi states that if the initial school building is successful, replicated structures could provide homes for over 100,000 people in the area.

After successfully completing test floating platforms in September 2012, NLÉ says the US$6250 prototype building is almost complete and will hopefully be ready to welcome a new school year.

Suppose na some people get such visits, they for tell us say na dem carry google.com come nigeria.

Start gaining the benefits of having your car tyre at the right pressure using a portable tyre pump.

How to Use

1. To achieve optimal performance when operating the air compressor, your vehicle’s engine should be running
2. Plug the compressor’s power cord into the cigarette lighter socket or the battery of your vehicle. Screw the air hose‘s brass valve tip directly onto the tyre’s air valve.
3. Turn the compressor ON - begin to inflate the tyre
4. When pressure gauge reaches the desired pressure (normal tyre pressure is 28-35psi), switch the unit OFF and remove the air hose from the valve.

Precautions on use:
1. Allow sufficient cooling time before storing
2. No oiling is required as all parts are lifetime lubricated
3. To avoid exhausting the car battery, please have the engine running while using the air compressor
4. Please ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position when not in use
5. Never use for more than 15mins at a time, always allow it to cool down before continuing.

How this your own de work? looks like another safety device to have in your car in case of emergency.

Get your portable tyre pump and use to inflate your tyre.
Now you can inflate your tyre without the help of a vulcanizer.
This machine can pump your tyre in less than 10mins, you can guauge your pressure yourself and pump according to the accurate pressure needed for your tyres.
No more cheating by the vulcaniser. No more N100 per tyre gauging.
Just plug it into the cigarette lighter in your car and you are pumping.
