People, the block wall in that pool is called retention wall, it prevents the soil around the pool from pushing directly on the yet to be installed concrete walls.

Sonofgod1990:
Thank your God
Bandit for don use you do press up

It is not God’s desire that any should perish. But in all, his will must come to pass.

SlavaUkraini:
Balderdash and Hogwash...

You don't know what you are talking about...

It is the FCTA that issues building permits not the Court...

If they go to court, the court will ask for records from the FCTA whether they indeed issued approval for that land or not...

Wike and his people in charge are telling you that you don't have the approval and you are bringing military men from the barracks to a construction site...

The Retired Naval Officer is the one acting with Impunity here...

If you have approval from the FCTA to start building, then provide it .

You don't send soldiers to intimidate FCTA officials that came to demand for building permit...

You and I don’t have the facts. And I don’t believe a corrupt government official like Wike is acting in good faith.
For those with resources, this type of matter is better settled in court and not by a lousy shouting match.
No section of the constitution gives government official authority to verbally abuse anyone He is civil servant and should behave in a civil manner

SlavaUkraini:
Continue building without approval...

Las las... That building will be demolished..

This is not Abacha's era...

The place of the military is the barracks and Warfronts..... Not to secure a land without building approval

Only a court can prove that there was no approval. Not even Wike. Wike’s position is to present evidence in court . He has no authority to intimidate or verbally abuse any one.
There are official guidelines to request for those documents from a land owner. Not by shouting, that is gross misconduct and abuse of office.
If for any reason the land owner fails to comply, then there next official course of action should follow in the legal path.
Democracy is not an excuse for impunity and misconduct.

SlavaUkraini:
They will give him the National Award ...

if he can present the Building Approval for the Land that he was there to protect.

Do they need to come to site with battalion of police men to ask for building approval? You guys don’t know how to respect yourselves. And you will always get what disrespect you deserve.

Werey people! Why won’t the wicked wail? The way this week take weakened Wike very well, eh!

God knows why I did not pass the NDA exam in 1990.
I for dey use people like Wike play football now.

I remember back then in 1994, the government hospitals were on strike, so went went to a private hospital. It was painful.

Hymn of Deliverance: “Come, America, Hear Our Cry”

Verse 1
O Lord of nations, King of peace,
Our land is torn, our sorrows increase;
The storms of terror flood our plains,
Our children weep in endless pain.
Our rulers falter, strength has failed,
The cries of saints go unanswered

Chorus
Come, America, hear our pleading,
Sons of freedom, hearts of flame;
Stand with us, our brothers’ keeper,
Lift Christians in Jesus’ name.
Let your mercy cross the ocean,
Let your courage break our chain.

Verse 2
Our voices rise through night and fear,
O distant friends, O partners dear;
The shepherds sleep, the wolves draw near,
Our faith remains though hope grows thin.
O hear us, Lord, through those You send,
Let justice flow, let violence end.

Chorus
Come, America, hear our pleading,
Sons of freedom, hearts of flame;
Stand with us, our brothers’ keeper,
Lift Christians in Jesus’ name.
Let your mercy cross the ocean,
Let your courage break our chain.

Verse 3
O God who blessed their mighty hand,
That guards the weak in every land,
Awake their hearts to hear our call,
To stand for truth, to fight for all.
Through them, O Lord, stretch forth Thy might,
Bring dawn again, restore the light.

Final Chorus
Come, America, hear our pleading,
Let your love and power be shown;
Lift the fallen, shield the broken,
Let God’s justice be made known.
Through your strength and through His mercy,
Peace shall flow from throne to throne.

odejimioflagos:
Nigeria is a sovereign nation and will not accept any threats or intimidation from anyone, including Donald Trump. We will solve our problems with our own solutions and no foreign interference will be tolerated.

Who told you that a soveireign nation has the right to become murderers' camp?

ShobayoEmma:
Both Muslims and Christians agree and believe that Islamic terrorists are killing them. So, why can't both embrace the help that could stop the terrorists from killing them the more?
Why is it only one of the two victims that's embracing what is meant to be of mutual benefit?

I think the answer lies in between the lines.




Tinubu, a bad man with good intentions

If you remember that story of King Solomon and the two women that were claiming mother to a baby, that is the situation

He is dead wrong on this one. You cannot use the cover under a sovereign country to camp murderers. If you support that, then there is no humanity in you. Humanity speaks one universal language, and that is the sanctity of human life.

amaridigital:
It depends on what you are talking about. You don't necessarily need a Bsc if all you need is a technical certificate or if you are talking tailoring. Sometimes you might not need certification at all if you have gotten years of experience. For example, no Professor of Business Administration could withstand Mr Otedola when it comes to commerce nor could any music lecturer defeat someone like Late Michael Jackson in music although he had no tertiary education. The law says you must be skilled in whatever you want to present to the public.

Did you know that there is something called Body of Knowledge in any given field for every level of acquisition of such knowledge? Whether it’s in commerce, Maths . Engineering , law or medicine. You must demonstrate mastery whether through examination or competency skills test under the supervision of a professional in that field before you are deemed qualified.
This is the reason we have accreditation/ professional bodies who serve as gate keepers for all Body of Knowledge. Without these institutions which are established by law or in some cases decrees, anyone can just wake up and claim anything.

Mariangeles:
Only a functioning society that provide jobs for its people have the right to enact such a law.

It will be cruel for a country like Nigeria to copy such.

If the law gets passed in Nigeria, you might need to provide your degree in Agriculture/ food administration.

This one is joy killer. How do people derive joy from being an Obstacle to good things. Is he blind not to see that God’s hand is upon Abia state?

chidiokay:
if you say they are not subsidizing thats an " Opinion"

however the difference between cbn rate and parrallel market is called what

educate me

I see the whole strategy as manipulation , of which CBN is an accomplice. The question remains, who does this subsidized import favor the most?
The answer is obvious. Subsidy will lower the pump price but makes it difficult and unattractive for existing local refineries to sell locally.
At the end of the day, Dangote refinery will have genuine excuse to export for more profit.
This is something they could sell locally to cushion the price. Well, they are not charity organization!
The final winner here is still Dangote refinery.

BrickDevo:
, the only thing that would be hitting there would be steam and water vapour, and that is nothing to be worried about, if you switch on your burner you are likely to place you pot on it immediately. this has never be an issue.

Have you ever tried frying something in a very hot oil and it catches fire? It a common incident in most Nigeria cooking. The flame comes with hot oil and ready to catch whatever is on it’s path.

Duplex90:
you tell him since you know na. Oversabi will have men behaving like jss111

Most designs I have seen would leave that space open or they install an extractor hood for obvious reason.
Another thing you could use there is an Over the Range ( over the cooker) appliance like microwave . It has a vent that connects to the hood.

The pictures below is one I recently installed in one of my houses.
The over the range microwave alone will set you back over #1.3M

BrickDevo:
Impressing client and producing true to life interior design and exterior design is what i do best, a good time to work with me is now | Brickstakks

So what material would you place in that marked area to resist the fire flame from the gas cooker?

anonimi:
Are you saying that Tinubu is subsidising petrol prices even though he announced that subsidy is gone in May 2023

What I mean is that even if Dangote is only selling half of his refinery capacity to the US (300,OO0) , everyday he will be making additional profit of 1800 x 300000 = #540M from the US export alone.

Now I see the incentive in exporting refined petrol to US. While a liter is about #900 in Nigeria . A gallon (3 liters) of petrol in the US is averagely $2.5.
If Dangote was to sell his refined petrol in Nigeria, that 3 liters (one gallon) would just #2700. So basically the difference in price when calculated in Naira is 4500 - 2700 = 1800 for each gallon sold to the US.

He was just 16 when he entered the NDA. Didn’t they say you have to be 18years ?

diordaves:
From the photos you attached, it is apparent that the structural plans don't include columns. Now you can build a bungalow without columns but the reason columns are recommended for bungalows in Nigeria is due to the very poor quality of our blocks. The game plan is for the columns and the blocks to serve as loads bearing structural members to compensate for the poor quality blocks.

Your foundation (building) does not include columns. There is little gains to be had doing all round chaining of the foundation (plinth beams) because the blocks will bear the full load without columns. If the blocks are not up for it you may still experience cracks anyway from the load of the all round chaining. So you've not solved anything but just spent money unwisely.

Fill and backfill your foundation, compact very well preferably by the rain, time and gravity and do a 6" thick German Floor (DPC), you will be fine.

Mind you, I'm not a structural engineer. Not even close.

Have you also considered that most people now want to do parapet., including on most one level houses. Without columns and to an extent chained beam,, no matter how strong the blocks are, they cannot carry the weight of parapet. It is important to plan a building from foundation and avoid just following where the spirit leads .

I hope the #280k one is available. No be to talk only. If he makes the cheaper one available, I don’t think anyone will patronize the expensive one.
