Cryptocurrency was not banned.

It's not an offence to trade crypto in Nigeria, its only the banks they banned from honoring crytpo Transactions.
Meaning you can deal in crypto using other means.

So, are we saying the Chinese are foolish to be building death traps in their country?

To what end?

This argument is funny to me.

A country that constructed the longest surviving bridge/wall in the world suddenly don't know what they are doing construction wise?

We have tens of mouth-opening constructions in China bringing in millions of tourism dollars to their country every year.

They are all online and some are even older than 10 days without issues.

Some arguments eh.

Sir, the person you quoted need to be very practical here. 3 million will only deck a three bedroom duplex as of today. That amount will not deck a two unit three bedroom flat in this present economy.

Last year December, I supervised a project in Delta consisting of two unit of two bedroom and one unit of one bedroom. The rod for that project cost 1,930,000.
16mm- 165
12mm- 450
The building got 9” all round beam with 9” and 6” beam in different areas on the decking.
252 bags of cement was used at the rate of 3300- 831,600.
60 tons of granite at 500k. The granite was not enough, I bought the small truck for 88k
Electrical materials- 190,000

Casting- 200,000
Carpenter- 200,000
Iron benders- 180,000
Electrician- 100,000
Plumber- 10,000
This is all I can remember o.
Wow, so cement sold for 3,300 last year December?

Was thinking the rise started around Feb/March this year...

Praxis758:
Rushing to parade suspects in front of the media is not good for our policing system, it's injurious to investigation and an archaic in this modern time.

'Rushing' is what I totally condemn here. The police as a sensitive institution should have grown above this childish practise. A thorough investigation should have been done before parading the suspects.

Little wonder why most arrests and high calibre criminal case don't get either prosecuted or won in court because of want of evidence.

If this suspect is truly an Hollywood actor, common sense demands that he should notify the police before attempting to feature any weapon in shooting/movie location because of the fluid security situation in the country
Doing what is good illegally is still wrong.

You don't hire real guns without the knowledge of the police

You're in a tensed society, what if he was killed in the process by the police? They can call him an armed robber with the amount of guns in his possession.

While you all spend days debating who is making heaven or not, I hope you're looking into your mirrors at home?

I hope you are actually following God's instructions and fit enough to make heaven when you die?

And for those saying 57 was early.

Jesus died at the age of 33.

If its by age, then why did that happen?

Your call and focus should be on fulfilling why you're on earth, not how long you need to stay on this passage called earth.

Imagine this:

As poverty capital of the world

Literacy rate so low as 62% ( next to sudan, meanwhile Seychelles ( 95%), Equatorial Guinea (95%) & Sao Tome (92%)

Unemployment rate of 33%

Food inflation rate of 23%

Inflation rate of 16%

And our currency losing value per day.

And you guys are saying Nigerians are fraudulent and corrupthuh? In my opinion we are really trying decently.

Pls just tell me one country in d world right now that has such figures as above and are as progressive as Nigerians. That has a lower crime rate than ours??

If the political leaders are not building schools and empowering the youths as it's the case in Nigeria. Ain't they supposed to prepare to build prisons in d future??

We are now saying there are 14m out of school kids in northern Nigeria alone. And it's like just another statistics.

Don't you know that in 10yrs those kids will run the streets hell to survive and remain alive as yòuths??

So what do you expect from youths that are neither educated nor empowered. How many northern leaders have a concrete plan right now, to educate and empower the kids?
So how do you expect the north and Nigeria at large to be peaceful in the next 20yrs?
Education has nothing to do with morality though.

Our forefathers were largely without formal education but they didn't lack good moral standards.

I see all these carved out dining areas as waste of space coz it doesn't take long and it will stop being used as dining again and then you can't use it for another reasonable purpose because it's open to the sitting room.

Why not have the dining area near the kitchen just for the family and then serve your guests in the sitting room using side tables.

This way, any family member can comfortably eat in the dining without having to attract or distract the activities in the sitting room.
I guess this is you talking about Bungalows?

Good question here.

I’m actually not on both project at the same time.

Here’s the timeline of event:

XL6 Trillion
Start: March 2021
Substantial Completion: May 2021

Due to few changes which includes but not limited to changing the roof construction from wood to steel, the project is running into the month of June.

We had to wait almost 4 weeks for the subcontractor handling the installation of the roof trusses.

Those delays falls into excusable delays in NextHome contract because we can easily deliver roofing woodwork for the same structure within a day without the need to extend the completion date.

The Nonuplets (Phase 1)
Start Date: 23rd May 2021
Substantial Completion: August 2021

I’m currently on this project at the moment.

Experience has shaped us over the years.

With my clients knowledge, I once delegated a project to an engineer recommended by my client’s folk and he messed up badly but I get to bear the brunt.

Today, I personally supervise all my builds. I hardly miss a day on my site because I don’t take on more than one project at a time and I’ve learnt to set up boundaries/limit.

More reason why people should stop buying architectural drawings.

I am suspecting there is no architectural drawing/structural drawing for this build or it was bought (A prepaid drawing). (Just my assumption and I am bad at it cheesy)

Nothing will scare a House Owner,like a shaking Decking.
Deckings rest on walls and columns, contain reinforcement and beams, it should never be moving up and down, never!
What if it collapses on people downstairs, when more dead loads are added to it?


For the vibration to be so obvious and responsive to someone jumping up (that is a swing, not even a vibration), shows that the Decking is not balanced, probably Columns are missing at strategic points, likely the reinforcements in the Decking, especially the internal, decking beams are not adequate or even probably the mix ratio of the concrete is weak.

Whatever it is, it does not look good at all and might present danger in the future.
If l were the owner, the approach l will use is to call the Structural Engineer who designed the Project, to have a look and confirm whether it is safe and if not, what should be done to make it safe.

A Swinging Deck should not just be leveled with more concrete load, the reason for such movement should be first clearly established or the Decking removed completely and a proper, new one done, at great cost.
Fear dey cath me sef, from where l am right now. grin
