lol. During 2007 it was not like that oh. Alot of things happened after buhari took over. Naira inflation Md their funds trapped in Nigeria. They did swap with dangote one time like that.

There was a time they couldn’t even go to Nigeria. They dumped Nigerians in Togo and charter a very local plane to continue to Lagos. That chartered plane was like those Osondu motors from Lagos to Onsitha.

I don't roll with kids okay? Today is Monday go to school or go to work. Take your frustrations elsewhere.

It is still Sunday here in the US. Still enjoying my weekends. frustrations ehh?

CluelessMODS:
You are just full of anger. What am I talking about what out of point are talking about.?
Are you the owner or related to Air Peace?All these kids on NL.

And you are their auditor or you are privy to Air peace financial statement to know that they got free tax from the government.
What a hasty generalization!

OALandAgents:
I flew Ethiopian airlines in 2018 London to Enugu, it was way cheaper than any other foreign airline going into Nigeria, but they still took advantage of us in that the service and quality of meals and airplane was much higher in the London-Addis Ababa portion of the flight, than the Addis Ababa-Enugu portion.
The Airplane they used to fly to Enugu after the layover in Ethiopia was visibly old and unkempt, with no tv screen or audio visual entertainment.
The meal was plain rice and plain 🍅 tomato paste and nothing else and I am not even exaggerating.

But that was 2018 and I haven't flew Ethiopian again so I don't know whether they have since improved their service for their Addis Ababa - Enugu route.

I am not knocking them too much because they are the only foreign airline flying direct to Enugu, so they have competition.

Given the choice I would choose Ethiopian over any non-African or non-black Airlines.

You are ver correct. This is exactly my experience with them from US to Lagos. After the US Adisababa , all the quality of service changed totally. It was riding a molue to Lagos.

CluelessMODS:
And you think that was free? Do you know the free taxes they will get from government for doing that? Everything to you people is hate.

And other airline operators don’t like free tax. People like you who belittles someone’s efforts and good gestures would hardly offer a thirsty man free drinking water.
All of sudden an airline company that was denied every support by that government, iwas hoping to get free tax from the same folks that were hostile to him.

Crowntop94:
They will go 10hrs ahead of airpeace so they are getting there the same time despite the Ethiopia airline stop over

If your Vacation time at work starts at 7pm , you could call the office bluffs and take an unexcused absence to go with Ethiopian airline say at 7am same day.
That would put you 10 hours ahead of Air peace.

Until you lose your job.

helinues:
That logic would ruin Air peace. They don't have the money and connection to muscle with the foreign airlines.

That was my initial arguments.. You consider yourself first before the consumers. That's the strategy of succeeding in business .

Funnily, it's not that the foreign airlines can sustain the price slashing, na just some sort of let's see who's the boss here.

That was Roosevelt tactics back then. You crash the price to the extent that your competitors won't be able to compete and at the end you acquire their business

But Air peace had the resource to go and rescue your families from Sudan free of charge on multiple flights.
Hate beclouds one reasoning.

helinues:
Good for the travellers. Exactly what I was talking about on the other thread. Free for all

Let the flight fee war begins

Street OT is really important gan cos it works in every sector or industry. Air peace didn't try at all

Air peace didn’t try by doing what exactly?

maasoap:
Why is Air Peace now crying when other airlines operators are pricing them out of market due to the war Air Peace itself started? The media couldn't even mention its fares

Where did you see Air peace crying?
The aviation law is already an advantage to them in that they could fly non stop Nigeria to London. Apart from British airlines, no other airline can do that.
Just know that British airline can never reduce their ticket price just because of any competition.
So, Air peace will always be the favorite and desired airline by Nigerian travelers.

helinues:
Do Air peace have that option of stopping over?

How many hours would the stop over take compared to N400k you would save?

Reason that as a business minded person

I bet you have never traveled internationally. 10 hours plus and a stop over means two meals at the airport. Do you even know how much a meal could cost at the airport?
In addition to the risk of transfer of luggage , it could be damaged suitcases or total loss.
Let’s not even mention fatigue and jet lag from the extended time.
Some passengers are elderly, with limited mobility to navigate the airport gates. All they need is a one time boarding and unboarding at their destination.
It’s better you keep quiet than to open your mouth and expose your folly.

helinues:
Yes, that should have been the right move. Air peace met some airlines operating from Nigeria to UK, it's insensitive of Air peace to slash the pice without no proper consultation with other airlines.

If Air peace ticket to London is $700, na to just drop theirs to $650.

Everyone is allowed to play the game

You are full of bile. Only God knows the beef you have with Igbos
And for you to boldly compare a non stop flight of just 6 hours by Air peace to that of Ethiopian airline that is 16 hours plus shows your level ignorance.

PotatoSalad:
Plenty ACs. Do clients ever consider a central HVAC system?

Central AC would need bigger gen or constant public power supply. Considering the epileptic electricity power we have, a system that is split might be more functional. At least one could turn on some, like only the bedroom with a smaller gen set.

Rawgold300:
I have waited for this long to exposed the fraudulent activity being perpetrated by SEGCYMOOR .

As i have done in the past with other criminally minded contractor like Brickdevo, my main objective was to expose these criminal elements on Nairaland so as for others not to fall victim to these bastards.

I gave SEGCYMOOR { a.k.a MOORE} building contract in 2022 to construct for me. I had a sound rapport with him from the beginning of the construction, am sure other people that i sub-contract to on here can attest to that fact ( because they warned against overly trusting this guy). The problem between us started from the roofing stage and modification done on the building without my say so. Moore suggested to me that the roofing design on the architectural drawing should be changed so as to forestall roof leakages in the future and i accepted his suggestion with promise from him to use the difference in the roof work to do part of my fencing work.

Just for context purpose , the building carcass was finished around February 2023 but our agreement on using my other balance to carry out other job has not seen the light of days up till now.

Apart from aforementioned problems, he neglected some block work in the building with other related issues which i had to do on my own. I paid this lunatics every penny we agreed on but he refused to refund me of my money claiming financial difficulties in Nigeria.

The roofing he did was not even properly done and he recently sent someone to look at it .. but that one brought few nails and other stuff s and it was obvious to naked eyes that the job was not properly executed .

The Aluminium was not done to our agreed specification. All his shady dealing were just coming to light now, someone on here informed me of his bad dealing which I wasn’t privy to till date though . Another notable member here can also attest to shitty block work done.

I know some of you contractors here works in unison and you might want to come and ridicule what transpired between us but am ready for you lot.

SEGCYMOOR Omo ole …be ready for me, i will definitely teach you a lesson you will not forget in a hurry.

Just say you know, my end of the month ultimatum still stands if at that point you choose not do the needful then your image will be totally shattered in few of the dailies in Nigeria before we now meet in person.

Man you are so bleeped.

Sorry to hear about the situation with your project. May wisdom from all parties prevail.
Building a house from scratch is a big headache. If time is not taken, you end up having too many enemies for something that is supposed to be of joy.
Anyway, it might be too late now for this my contribution. However, for those just starting, let your contract end on the carcass stage without roofing. This contractors cannot be jack of all trade.
From there, get individual contractors to handle other milestones.
When you give these small builders everything to do, that is where the problem begins. One that does not know the little details and cost of a particular aspect would have their hands soiled due to greed or in most cases, ignorance. Nigeria situation does not even help matters.
It breaks my heart when these contractions work so hard at the beginning but ends up like the rest.
At the end of the day, it is the client’s money that is affected.
I will conclude with an advice someone gave me. He said, building a house is a journey, you will meet all sorts along the way.

The gatekeepers in movies and music industry are full of Gaybriels as the likes of P. Diddy, Meek Mill, Kevin Hart, Will Smith have been exposed to be one.

Burna loosing the grammy to Tyler that just came into the scene means Burna must have rejected something needed from the USA Hollywood gatekeepers

So your Burna must win Grammy every consecutive year?
Because na only him follow come!

Let me tell you what happened here.
When the mother of that dog was pregnant, it used to sit around the part of the house with those similar colors and patterns of tiles on the wall .
So. It gave birth to offspring with those patterns and colors, just for the fact that it sees the wall everyday.

My property is located on a swampy area and I need advice on what to build...

A bio digester or a normal septic system?

I have an existing septic system (big one too that's use by my family alone) but I have to get someone to pump out the waste every 2 months which is not normal. I was told it was because it was not built properly but am scared of making the same mistake twice. So please people with either system on a swampy area please share your experience with me.

When I lived in Lagos, most houses on our street had similar issue.
The solution was to build the septic tanks on the surface first, that is above the ground. This was done by casting, no blocks. They allowed it to properly cure. Remember, you do not dig the pit yet.
Then people would go inside and start digging up the soil from inside while others would dig from Outside. As they do this, the casted soak away would gradually sink into the dug out ground. It takes time but at the end, the whole soak away that was on the surface would be buried. The bottom is layered with hardcore, DPC and concrete.

If you believe this story, you have the IQ of a chicken.

WHO defined poverty as living bellow one dollar a day.. I think something is not adding up here, if healthy diet is below one dollar in Nigeria

Rany4all:
Ok, I think you get my point now that you need more than just a compass to get exact coordinates. But then again, how do you locate the first/starting beacon with a compass and tape?

That would be quite a difficult task on a large piece of bushy plot though... speaking from experience

I was writing based on the assumption that everyone with primary 4 education knows how to measure length and width of an area.

Secondly. Within the context of this discussion. We would assume the land has existing beacons. If so, the compass on your smart phone can lead your directly to those spots without “beating about the bush” and as long as you follow the directions of a true coordinate from the survey plan.
For instance, if one coordinate says 28 degree 45 minutes and has 30 meters length on that side. Follows NE on that coordinate for 30 meters, that is where the beacon would be found.

Rany4all:
Yeah I know that, but the compass still doesn't tell you distance from one point to another. Degree, minutes and seconds just represents measurement of direction from the reference point without specifying distance. Without distance, it is practically impossible to locate the other beacons.

Edit:
The starting point on a survey plan is even depicted by the units mN (meters North) and mE (meters East), with shows clearly that distance and direction are both needed.

All you need for distance is either a thread, line yard or measure it directly using a tape. Most buyers would not have such long tapes used by professionals. Just put a little stick peg on the four corners of the actual land you are interested in buying, used line yard ( twine) to obtain your measurement, then go home and do measure it out with a simple meter rule.
Your smart phone also has a length measurement app.

For the beacons, all you need to locate them is a set of good eyes. This is because they are already on the surveyed land. All surveyed land must have beacons. One without beacons is a big red flag.

Rany4all:
I don't think a compass can give exact coordinates boss. It can only tell direction, however coordinates have to do with an exact location of any point on the surface of the earth, which should require both direction and distance from a reference point.

Google map or other GPS services should be able to tell exact coordinates though, but this usually comes in terms of longitude and latitude which may not be the language used in survey plans.

There is a standard in term of language used . The coordinates are presented in degrees and minutes with reference to a starting point of true NORTH and EAST.
The compass on smart phone are even more accurate because it goes to the seconds unit, which are considered irrelevant small unit and not even included on most survey plans.
Once you can locate the starting beacon by the lowest number, use that as your reference point.

kopell:
Hoo ga ooo, who do we trust now, are you saying surveyor general office staffs flying coordinates to aid the criminers to succeed in defraud potential buyers?

I don’t think that is what he meant. It seems he was talking about some estate company survey plan not being accurate. That is, they put fictitious coordinates on the paper while the piece of land is acutely having something else.
I guess the solution would be to seek a surveyor who goes with the client to the said land, and matches it with what they have on the plan. Then proceed to Alausa for verification.

However, from a layman’s perspective, I would assume one does not need much to verify accuracy of coordinates. As preliminary, Just the compass on smart phone should tell you the exact coordinates on any location in degrees and minutes NE. Most SW lands in Nigeria fall within UTM31. Then, compare those with the survey plan before going for verification.
In addition, the length and width on the boundaries should be consistent, use that to determine the square meters by yourself. Look for the beacons and match the inscriptions on all ends. Little details like the receipt for purchase of beacons is import too. The starting beacon, should have the lowest number among them. Check dates of actual survey done and the date on land registration receipt from the government office ( should not be more than two months) .
If you have the time, visit the registered surveyor that did the original work at the office address to have coffee with them. Check land marks . Compare owner names, check spellings and ask for ID cards.

Have you settled for a fence design? You do not have to bring the fence down. Those blocks are better than any block you could buy today. I would browse the internet for a fence design and settle for a befitting design and then work the old fence into fitting the design I settle for. How much is one block again? N600? Multiply that and you will see the uneconomic approach of knocking the whole thing down.

Honestly this is exactly what most have suggested. Those blocks are as solid as rock. Another way might be to gently take out the blocks and repurpose them.

Do a new fence or just put modern pillars and plaster this one?

Trying to save cost . Fencing is on more than 2 acres.
