COALCITY forever......ENUGU for life.....T5 HEATHROW..BA 082...ABUJA....COALCITY.......miss my nkwobi,ji kpacham kpacham,ugba...hmmmmm....COALCITYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

Thats no prediction then,of course everyone knows chelsea needs lots of prayers in that final...reasons...

1...their captain John Terry will not play due to red card

2...Ivanovic...a very dependable defender wont play

3...Mereires is out of it.

4...Mr workaholic Ramires who of recent is the best chelsea player will not play.

5...Tim Cahill might not play.

6...The match will be played in Munich stadium..more or less a home game for bayern..


Lots of people will come to nairaland on sunday to either misquote or spread false news that TB Joshua accurately predicted the final match...

btw that statement credited to him is ambigous,any football fan can easily say that balded arjen robben will destroy chelsea cos hes their biggest star...Prediction should be precise and devoid of ambiguity...should be something like a balded man will score in the first half and victory will go to bayern.final score 1-0..

No one has answered my question here,Champion league match b/w chelsea and bayern munich is on saturday....whats the official statement from synagogue church of all nationsheard the man of God watched the first half of the match,also heard a bald man with the assistance of a dark man broke into the net and that chelsea needs a lot of prayers...did the bald man score in the first half.what happened in the second halfhasnt it started yet,its days now and i know it takes just 45mins plus injury time to conclude the second halfabeg who watched emmanuel tv..make una help us out here.

Second half never finish?how long are they playing the match for

Chelsea vs Bayern munich?whats the score..who wins?you guys should not come here after the match telling us he predicted the result ages ago...whats the official statement from the synagogue??

abeg wetin the man talk about chelsea vs bayern match...that match is very important to me.......wetin im talk..anyone plssss?

I forgot to mention that you,ll never find the witty comments,swearings and abusive remarks of OKIJA JUJU and CALLOTTI on facebooks...such exists only on Nairaland.Finally you can get into trouble with your missus or lose your job if you misfire in facebook but never in Nairaland.

quote from Dmainboss,
Why are you guys comparing oranges and apples? The thread should read:

Nairaland or Facebook: Which one is more useful to you? Not Which one is better.

Exactly,I connected with most of my long forgotten friends through facebook which i could not do with nairaland.lots of nostalgic feelings when you view old pictures posted by friends on facebook or the happy family pictures of friends you last seen when you were like 17years but lots of educative stuff from nairaland,great posts,clever analysis and comments from the likes of beaf,gbawe,jakumo,ejine,jason,eko ile,shymmex,pdude not forgetting the ethnic bashings,bitterness and morbid psychotic hatred from Nairalanders.
The CNN and NTA analogy is not fair...both serve different objectives like someone pointed out...i followed the likes of FHEEMMY and SPYDER80 on the auto and building sections respectively,it was great following the posts of IHEBROOKE on the archicard posts.they were amazing stuffs which you,d never find in facebook.
Both websites rocks as long as you didnt allow yourself to become addicted.

You dont to come back to Naija to see the cuties...they are all over brixton and Pecknarm.

You all are complaining about Nigerians,what about former military head of state of uganda.....


His Excellency President For Life,Field Marshall,El Hadji,Dr,Idi Amin Dada
VC,DSO,MC,King of Scotland,Lord of All the Beast of the Earth and Fishes Of The Sea,
Owner of All the Firewoods In The Forests,SSalongo,The Conqueror Of The British Empire in General AND Uganda......


my ugandan friend told me [b]SSALONGO [/b]means ..someone who gives women twins..a highly reproductive and fertile superman whose sperm cells results in multiple births.

BTW its a capital offense to miss any of his titles when introducing him..

Mumu or not this guy is my hero anyday,then again there are lots of Nigerians who,ll do the same if they were in mr Salamis shoes.If he had chosen to pocket the money ,he probably wouldnt be working in the aviation industry now cos he would,ve been caught ages ago.There are lots of cctv around,those things shouldnt be ignored plus he could have problem trying to hide it in order to collect it after work.

Aliko Dangote is the 76th richest individual alive,richest black person,none of the billionaires of british origin comes close to him...That embarrassing figure will drop significantly if someone like him can fill a small plastic kettle[buta] from his vast ocean of wealth and use it to water the educational sector of the north.The north should emulate other parts of nigeria by prioritising education,communities and well off individuals do contribute funds to build schools and offer scholarships to outstanding pupils,old boys/girls ie alumni/alumnae does the same..they should not be depending on govt funds for that.

Taiye Taiwo Turns 25 Today & His Brother Is 33 (Hoax) by dayokanu(m): 4 hours & 28 minutes
Taiye taiwo celebrated his 25th birthday recently

While his twin brother celebrated his 33rd birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO them




whats wrong with that?It simply is a medical mystery,Its either Taiye was born 8yrs too late or his twin bros was born 8yrs premature.lol

He should get ready sell his fathers acres of land in abakaliki and throw a big owambe when real madrid wins la liga

@aasog,

Your points are noted,i hope mr spyder is reading your comments as well,i believe he opened the thread to share his experience.
Personally i,ve benefitted a lot not just from his pictures and estimates but comments from guys like you as well.i followed @Am lone..thread and i learnt a lot from it,he confessed to making a big mistake with his roofing when he discovered the roofing sheets supplied and installed was substandard and he had to replace it,i worked with my father in law who is a builder here in the UK and i know lots of substandard products and lots of building malpractices abound in the building industry in nigeria,The aluminiun sheets used on most residential homes in nigeria are used for mainly industrial buildings here.residential buildings are done with slates of which the best is the welsh one which is purple in colour and can last more than 100yrs.I,ve never seen it used in nigeria even though lots of people can afford it.

I understand your concerns and do appreciate your comments but i,ll rather you criticised and pointed out the specific errors with a particular thread than attacking the person.im strongly against greedy and unscruplous agents who commit similar mistakes..ie build cheap houses like 4 bed bungalows with about N2m and list it as N25m..when such isnt up to N5m when you include the cost of land etc.
It,ll be silly for anyone to attempt to self build by following the threads here without consulting professionals.its like attempting to fly a plane by following the instructions from a manual.however you should remember that building challenges in lagos could be different from one in enugu or even jos..the fact that you have to raise the foundation as you stated more than 2ft in places like Ajah lagos doesnt mean you must do same in enugu,i was expecting you,d mention proper drainage and lack of gutters on most so called prestigious homes in nig.This malpractice in my opinion could contribute to a great deal of damp problem in home..you,ll notice lots of expensively done interiors very damp with the paints peeling off not long after completion.
Could you please do us a favour by posting some of the pictures of your works,i know a lot of people will love to see that.

Good thread, but this isnt something you should encourage. What you have currently built here will definitely have some problems
The house is extremely flawed in a lot of ways....

[b]1. You didnt post the plan of your structure....for everything called REAL construction, there has to be plan.
2. The foundation is about 2 feet high (which would give you loads of mess in future after roads has been graded and you have more houses around you). When you have heavy flooding in the future, Mr. you will be picking out all the snakes and frogs washed into your sitting room.
3. I can count the pillars. For chrissake, please indicate what engineering school you went! because if a strong wind hits your structure, those horrible blocks they sell all around will splinter) you need pillars, its your house not a chicken coops that must be managed. And with all that load your putting ontop of your house (lintel, woods, including the roof, your putting so much weight on such a fragile structure. Abeg!)
3. No clear planning....you didnt set out a fence (be it just through 2 or 3 coaches of blocks), and im not even sure if there is plans for parking lot, garden, etc....you are just building
4. This appears to be the type of defective project you see strewn all over ikorodu. Eventually, in 4 years time, you'd have a lot of spending to do on this structure....I guarantee you.

Anyways, you opened a great blog for those willing to spend 1million naira on a property. You should rename it, how to build your house Ijebu-style.
Apologies to my ijebu bros. Totally one of ya![/b]




@aasog1,

Are you being cynical or what??self build is something that should be encouraged but it should be done with the assistance and guidance of building experts[architect,surveyors etc] especially in nigeria,you,ll not only supervise and guard against fraudulent contractors and building materials suppliers,you,ll be on site to prevent so many malpractices going on at the site especially from the craftsmen.

Whats has counting the number of columns got to do with engineering school,i thought its architects who draw the plans and indicate the the no of columns and reinforcement bar specifications.could you please be more specific on what you meant by that.i noticed the building blocks were done insitu as against your insinuations that the blocks were bought around the corner.one major thing which nigerian builders have to improve on though is the quality of blocks,quality of concrete,mortar and craftsmanhip...concrete was mixed on the ground,which isnt right,the soil absorbs most of the water and eventual mixture is very defective,projects like the one above should,ve been done with a concrete mixer.blocks should be a mixture of cement and aggregate of gravel and sand but most builders use just cement and sand and the builders seem to prefer the hollow ones which should be filled with concrete mortar for added strength,most times they are not, you,ll observe that defect in most nigerian homes when you want to mount your LCD tv or hang pictures on the wall,once you drill or create a hole in the wall,it carves in and you,ll have to fill it with timber/wood for grip,hollow blocks filled with mortars will prevent this,even badly moulded block will have same problem..ie one that is improperly mixed and vibrated.
I noticed the mortar in the above isnt pliable thats why you sometimes have crude and untidy masonry.

The building above is a bungalow and even at that,theres is enough columns to bear the weight of the things you listed..ie lintel,timber and roofing.I thought you were going to question the quality of the columns or the that of bars.that house in my opinion is strong enough to bear the load,dont forget the interior is also demarcated by the blocks compared to most euro or american homes that use plaster boards.

I didnt see any ijebu syndrome in the posts,if you criticisms were borne out of the price tag,you should know that most estate agents in abuja and lagos would do the same at that cost and give you a price tag of N15m at the end of the day.
the poster might not be the best but i,ll give him kudos for being honest and magnanimous by sharing his experience with us.

Please did anybody take pictures? I've never seen politicians running for dear lives before.



If you have lived in Yoruba land, you would have noticed the stage runs made by politicians from that part of the country. They usually run their mouths and with their legs too. Running away in itself is an age long act perfected by them.





@Dede1,


What do you intend to achieve by that comment??im really dissappointed.

Bravo Mr Okafor..to have won the guiness distributor of the yr,he must have made lots of his people drunk in stout brew then used his cash prize to give them borehole water to dilute and clean their ravaged liver,good for him he is from Anambra state,He probably would,ve been flogged silly by left handed body building sharia man in kano state

Re: We Are Not Gaining Anything From Nigeria – Northern Leaders by afam4eva(m): 7 hours & 8 minutes
Nigerians are born liars. It's this kind of lie that will make them say that Abuja was built with the sheer hardwork of Northerners [b]the same way our SW brothers are saying about Lagos. [/b]I really don't care what they say, what i want is for them to fast-track their want for secession.



What are you on about on the bolded,say what you want about them,the northerners are ever ready and yes FCT might got to them,so are the south westerners who,ll retain lagos,besides governors like fashola are doing great...transport..road,rail system,infrastructures like eko atlantic,great vision in agriculture..read that he is presently trying to get some lands from osun for mega scale farming...whats the other republic/country...what are the governors of south east doing..anything happens to niger bridge will spell doom for land travellers...most SEners in diaspora cant come back without travelling either via abuja or MM lagos,enugu airport is out of it except for travellers from some african countries,in event of any serious political instability,the north can sustain itself food wise so are the SWners,how about the SE OR SS,i dont think you need to split to invest in agriculture to produce enough food,you dont need to split to have a blue print for sustainable development.northerners are united so are the sw.they can easily meet overnight and speak with one voice.a new SE nation wont guarantee any development and salvation some folks argue here,touts like Chris Uba and his bros are still pulling the strings in a state produced the likes of ekwueme,ojukwu achebes.eko atlantic city was initiated by tinubu,..fashola is working hard to make it a reality,most of the projects started by roguish nnamani are still untouched by randy chime.if that is how a new nation will be born,im afraid it,ll end in disaster.

What is the cost of the new shoprite shopping mall at enugu?anyone here knows?There is something very dubious about the $500m cost for the imo project,i doubt the credibility of this post,$500m is enough to construct more than 10 top shopping mall unless mr Rochas is trying to build another westfield stratford shopping mall.

@shymmex


your finger prints are all over the window glass,the DNA you left behind nails you.one min its one nigeria and wazobia,theres something strange about you,are you this obsessed with igbos/biafra/ojukwu.your reputation will always preceed you no matter what sort of mask you put on.why do you have to always sneak in the igbos and your chest beating ore conflict inside most of your posts using ur monikers..brixtonyute and now olaheavy.dude you need to come back to nigeria and see things for yourself,stop living in a virtual world of your yellow bricks hood.Congrats of the oreh victory btw.

Re: Bomb Explosion At Sabon Gari In Kano by olaheavy: 2 minutes & 45 seconds
@nl.official and other Igbo nincompoops and Christian bigots, you're all bleeping silly! Are you bleeping so daft that you couldn't decipher what the bloke was conveying to you? The heartless folks who experimented with the Hydrogen bombs on both Hiroshima and Nagasaki and ended up levelling those cities and wasted hundreds of thousands of human lives were whom? Christians! Those who sold their fellow human beings into slavery because of greed and racism were whom? Christians with bibles! Those who killed off millions of the Red Indians and stole their lands were whom? Christian Pilgrims from Europe! Those that exterminated the lives of millions of the Australian Aborigines and also stole their lands with impunity were of what religion or faith? Christianity! Those who boasted to have had the largest army in Africa and insisted on a shooting war with Nigeria, but were thrased by the Yoruba soldiers when they violated the no-go areas of Yorubalsnd and thereby becoming human eating CANNIBALS when we killed a couple of millions of their masanfaani Biafrans were of what faith? Christianity! Are you all bleeping slow or what? BTW, the Boko Haram fighters say their qualms are with the Igbos and other Easterners: they say they want you to leave the North bleep off to your hellholes in the East! But, for real, Igbo cannibals, methinks you should be glad to leave the North -- afterall, that's what Uwazuruike, Bianca, and the Massob want? Oh, yes! Igbos, don't forget to LEAVE YORUBALAND also. Both the North and West reject you Igbos!




What has the bolded got to do with the topic of this thread,I read the comments above and no where did i see any igbo person making provocative statement against any yoruba person,i saw comments condemning BH,its amazing what stupidity and insanity can do to your mind.seek help bro b4 its too l8.

Somebody should advice him not to take that car anywhere near northern nigeria or any boko haram territory...the tyres look like CRUSADE ARMOUR SHIELD...advice no be curse oo
