True, there are outdoor tiles which are non slippery,strong and able to withstand a wide range of temperatures changes and weather conditions.

However, those tiles are meant for walkways, garden area, sit out etc and not to be driven over by vehicles.

You are very correct. That is why when I see what one Akwa native doctor did on his driveway, I grinch my teeth. Very dangerous and unnecessary.
I will find the pictures on internet and post it.

It looks beautiful thou!

Although there were reported cases of irregularities, the scale was not enough to change the general outcome

This rule also applies to Americans.

They will reciprocate. That is the normal thing to do in international diplomacy

because Bubu was more interested in restoring non~existing grazing route for Fulani herdsmen.

Just a fraction of the money they embezzled would have been enough to turn any desert in the north to viable grazing land. All they needed was to plant tree. grass and irrigation.

Take him to a swimming lesson or beach. That way,, he will notice that natural need for those type of clothing,
Desensitization technique, is done by repeated exposure to dreaded experience.
The brain is kind of elastic and would relearn when exposed to certain conditions.
As the individual is exposed to these unpleasant stimuli, they gradually adjust and feel comfortable around them.
This is a modified version of the Desensitization therapy for the particular purpose.

Which of the Alaba?

IBB was right

Oluomo said no need for strike.

That tells a lot about the authenticity

Take it to animal shelter

The part that this writer got twisted is the social security number.
Anybody who is not conversant with the formatting could easily err in putting the numbers in the right blocks/ format.
This does not make it invalid. Actually, the right formatting of the nine numbers is 123-45-6789.
But having 123- 456-789 does not mean those numbers are incorrect.
Another blunder from that excerpt is that the writer claims he was rightly informed by a friend who is a professor in the college. Who in their right mind would believe such unverifiable source? No name, no identification!
Thirdly, in an attempt to cause confusion and deflect from the main issue, the writer kept juggling and mixing the previous names of the school. Those are public information and irrelevant in this context. The change of school name does not add any new information or clarity to the issue, within the context of this matter.

AsomughaChuks05:
This Tinubu government of national unity is a good strategy to weaken opposition parties in certain states if you think about it well. The governor of Cross River should see the game being played here and applaud Tinubu instead of sponsoring protests.

You are underrating the massive money in NDDC. Considering Nigeria money politics style, anyone holding that position is likely to spend massively in party politics in the state.
Codedly, that position is always reserved for someone used to sponsor the party in the state.
In fact.the guy that almost outstaged Ayada the last time was from NDDC.
It’s a risky game to arm your opposition party with such juicy post.
But like you said, this might be to trade partisan politics for National unity.

He that lives in a glass house should not throw stones.

Why does this guy look so much like Simeon Ekpe?

Beverlyjean:
Watch the cowards try to attack the Igbos for that statement

I don’t think they will. Igbos did not make the statement
Igbos did not threaten to wage war in Niger

Except they want to leave the yash that farted and knock the head that did nothing.

It seems IBB was right.

Sir, they have increased the price like 2 times after you bought yours. This last increase will be 3rd time they will change their prices. If I calculate the percentage increase after your last order now is about 76%

Now compare that to the 62% increase in dollar
for copper
200% increase in local content which is petrol and diesel.
That would be an average of 130% increase in cost for them.

topsy23:
Good afternoon to everyone. Nigerchin cable manufacturer release their new price list this week and percentage increase is about 35% for the single core cables. Remember the notification was sent 3 weeks before the implementation of the new price.

Now other cable manufactures are ready to follow the same procedure now since all of them are importing raw materials from oversea. Things are not working normal in this country. Imagine 35% increase and there is no regulatory body controlling price in this country of ours. God will help us . .

My Advice to people now is that if you have the opportunity to buy your cable and keep pls quickly do before others increase their price.

Coleman
Wichtech
and other are yet to communicate their new price to distributors.

Thanks

Price control is not the solution. That will lead closure of factories and people will lose jobs. Trust me, the owners of these companies are already rich and connected in the business world. They will simply go into other profitable ventures. That vacuum will enable substandard products.
The fish is rotten from the head. Manufacturers are struggling to get dollars. It was reported today that despite the high cost of rice, millers are operating at a loss due to exchange rates. At $1 to #900 the cable companies cannot be in the same financial position they were about a year ago. Let’s remember that the copper the main components of cabal wire is actually imported with dollars.
I remember when I bought the cables from you, dollar was $1 to #550. The percentage increase in dollar/naira exchange rate as at today is 62%. The companies have only increased price by 35%. This maths is clear enough for any rational consumer not to cry greed. 25% decrease in revenue can collapse a company.
This price increase might not even be sustainable, except if they were making 100% profit initially, which is impossible in a competitive market.

Very true. Most people didn’t take philosophy electives, so they wouldn’t understand.

God bless the good people that gave

What are they hiding? The request is in order and the court might force them to release the information .

Good morning everyone.

@Dennis, @Sonnie10

Please I need your suggestions.

I bought some of these supposed turkey wooden doors at 150k each. Needed two extra for kitchen and sitting room. My furnituremaker then suggested he could make the same door quality and design for lower price.

Sitting room door: 120k
Kitchen door: 80k.

Picture 1: The turkey wooden.
Picture 2: Furnituremaker's proposed -material pre-finishing.

Can you tell the quality of the furnituremakers wood in the second image? Also, is the price fair for the quality?

It looks like what you have in the first pic is white HDF wooden door while the second one is just the white HDF wood.
Since you have already decided, don’t expect any other surface finish when it’s done.
It very difficult to know if it’s HDF or MDF from just pictures. HDF is. better for doors.
Lastly, I am afraid he might not get the joints right if he attempts to copy the turkey door design. It might wrap during harmattan.
Your best bet would be to do it plain without the joinery. More like forfeiting aesthetics for quality.
Don’t get me wrong, there are masters in the craft who could get both right.

They told us #1T have been saved from subsidy removal.
Why then would they borrow #500B for palliative?

The only explanation is that the money was borrowed to go the same way other loans have gone.

Reeefe:
hello house please does anyone have an idea how many blocks would a 10 Tyre tipper of sand be able to mould ?

In the East, the type of tipper they use for sand is the size of 911 Mercedes. For that you will need about 10 bags of cement for the whole sand.
1 bag of cement will produce about 30 hollow 9 inches blocks are ( Hand mold)
Therefore 10 bags of cement will give 10 x 30 = 300 blocks.
This is the quantity of blocks you will get from a trip of sand.

@sonnie10
They started on falsehood, no sincerity of purpose.
When they commissioned Dangote refinery that was not in any where ready, just to deceive Nigerians that they have a plan for subsidy removal, it was all games.
Actions have consequences. If they sincere, subsidy removal could have been in phases. Something like 25% at a time until we have functional refinery.
Now this, when Nigeria is still struggling with all the recent failed policies. It is an act of desperation, and hasty decisions often end up wrong.
Why can’t they wait for the first batch of locally refined product before attempting economic changes.


@me
The corruption around subsidy is huge and has been on for years. Any soft handling will not work. The refineries will not work so long as there is subsidy on imported petroleum products. The hand 👏 must be cut for the body to survive. That's the only way to treat cancer.

Unfortunately the ordinary people are suffering the effect of the collective rape of our common wealth by the political class and elites.

You are wrong on how to treat cancer.
Different options exist. Radiotherapy, chemotherapy and then surgery as the last option.
Even with the least invasive option such as radiotherapy, care must be taken not to affect healthy surroundings cells. This is often the recommended first line of treatment. The radiation has to be guided by well calculated dosimetry parameters.
The above illustration is what they missed. They went with the most drastic option,. Just for ego. Just to be seen as hitting the ground running!
It has failed. People are hungry , angry and desperate.

Vision101:
I just pity president tinubu. The mess in the Nigerian economy started towards the end of Jonathan's regime. This was principally because of corruption and the weakness of the president to control those he appointed.

This led to the alarm bell rang by okonjo-iweala. They did not arrest the situation. Unfortunately buhari did nothing but compounded the situation.

Tinubu inherited a messed up economy. He's not talking because he's protecting buhari and his party. He's battling against odds.

The good thing is that he's sound and he has sound people around him. When a patient is in a critical condition the doctors will try several drugs and modes of treatment and watch the effect on the patient. Finally they will get the most responsive mode. In the process the patient will feel several pains.

The doctor will be called names by the patient and his relations. I'm feeling the pains too.

What will anybody honestly criticise a government that inherited the Nigerian mess, less than three months, ministers not yet sworn in and broad policies not yet in full implementation?

FYI I'm an Ibo, professional, religious leader detribalised and apolitical.

hmmmm, that how the end effect would be with foreign currencies but, that is the sweet part on the surface, but it is not actually how currency Re domination is done….

This how it is done using your above example:

The CBN will create another currency, let’s call it xNaira, they can also create this currency with other Africa countries or the whole of Africa and call it whatever name they like…

Now CBN will say, 1 xNaira = 10 Naira.

Automatically, if you are holding 1000 Naira notes, your bank will collect them and give you 100 xNaira notes.

Exchange rate is not affected technically because 100 xNaira notes will now exchange for $1.

The problem now become, if you are working and assuming you are making 10,000Naira/monthly, the next time you go to collect your pay, you will be paid 1,000 xNaira instead of 100,000 Naira.

This will lead to further devaluation, because some goods and services are not going to be reviewed down at the same percentage rate….eg market women that use to sell one modu of garri for 400 Naira, would be cheated if you give her only 40 xNaira, even after explaining the whole thing for her, she might be only willing to take e.g. 60 to 80 xNaira, etc xNaira from you, which represents almost 100% inflection.

I appreciate your informative response. It now makes sense

BenedictAbajue:
Is this really possible? So if naira becomes #1000 per a dollar and 1paint of garri is #1000.
After removing a zero from the currency, I will carry #100 note and give the garri seller for one paint and he will collect!. Its really weird.
This would mean that inflation is not really a threat. Since we can easily redenominate our currency when it loses too much of its value.

True.
Even those houses listed for #200M at lekki, you will be able to buy them for #20M.
Nigeria we hail thee!

Some people have just been trying to fight Alhaji all this while, I am just laughing and I am just watching .... This yeye guy writing stupid petition ask him how much tax he has paid to the Federal, State or Local Government ....ode ...

You are talking about paying taxes and all that. How will you feel if someone stole your car and sold it but used some of the money to buy a pair of boxers for you?
It is called robbing Peter to pay Paul.
For your information, Dangote gets tax exempt from most governments.
Please let’s call a spade a spade.

I just dey laff. God please continue to expose them. The oppression is too much.
See how people are suffering, yet they harden their heart.
After collecting all these money, we still import petrol.
Cement is still out of reach
