@Trust, I bought all my lights here.I was told we only need to change the bulb to 240Volt bulb (which I ordered those in the UK) and not wire. Do you have any experience in this regard?

ohhhh. Thanks Trust. I just saw your detailed reply at the top. Ama buy myself the toilet.Will stop by home depot today.
PropertiesRe: Building A Bungalow In Lagos by Sprumbaba: 7:01pm On Apr 05, 2013
Thanks Trust101. So you mean I should go ahead and buy the American toilet and our Naija plumbers will fix them.
or I should buy the type you are holding (or it is still the same american style)?

I have actually seen american toilets been used in Nigeria which means our plumber should be able to make things happen.

trust101: You're welcome sir. Good to know it helped. Shared container,yes it wasn't easy to ship but i just like be save. Okay sir.God will surely provide for you to finished what He Has started.About the toilet,sinks and other yes i bought them from Home depot too and I'll check for the pictures later.
I was told by a Builder in the US that american toilets are different from the one in Naija. If that is the case, I have seen some toilets that look like PORSCHE and MASERATI at home depot, I will buy and ship them for my project.
@Trust, is that true.? Which type of toilets did you buy?

Even Abijo GRA is taking longer to develop. Government estate has potential but development will be slow due to speculators. The staff bought those land like 50% off compare to the public and this afford them to buy more for hoarding.There so many developed parts in Phase 2 now.

FamilyRe: Which Kids Are Naughtier? Naija Kids Or Kids Living Abroad. by Sprumbaba: 4:46pm On Apr 05, 2013
Billyonaire: It can be vice-versa. Kids learn by induction. The immediate environment of the kid determines how he well kids turn out.

If I have my way, I prefer raising them here at home, but my Oga at the top says when the time comes, it must be Britain cos of what ever reasons, and I do not want to say one thing and she says another. Believe me, I fear the grammar that those kids will be speaking to me when they come on holiday. That alone, will be 'naughtier'.

FamilyRe: My Dad Breaks Me Down Everyday by Sprumbaba: 1:13pm On Apr 05, 2013
jaystunt: I am the first born in a family of 6 but I hardly ever get the honour or respect that a first born is entitled to.
I'm what u can refer to as a 'figure head' as my dad who's never scared to show his favoritism to my immediate brother thinks he as the 'real deal', hence leaving me relegated to the background. He(my brother) was not quite good with his books but skilled with his hands, and I was the opposite. My dad is a sucker for people like that but to do it in his home at the detriment of his first child is what I've been grappling with for over 20yrs of my life.

Right from when we were very young my kid bro has been very close to my dad and when I got to secondary school and subsequently the uni, it only made the gap btw him and myself wider. We never got together like a father and child do. I remember poisoning myself in junior high when I just couldn't cope with the situation.

Fast forward 5yrs after college, the family split only (a yr ago). Dad relocated to Ibadan and I and my two brothers stayed put in Lagos but in my apartment. He visits every month, but I see nothing changed in the way he behaves towards me.

Only recently I got to know he's about selling one of his houses out. He gave my immediate brother the papers and the all clear to sell It. When I got wind of the information, I wept like a baby as I never thought he could do that to me.
My immediate brother knows pretty well that dad is on his side and hardly respects me in my own flat. It's even gotten to a stage where I feel like throwing him out. He's such a nuisance this days to me not because I'm jealous but his disregard for me as his senior.

I'm a year older but his attitude towards is dat of an elder brother to his junior. My dad still gets things from me but his loyalty and love rests on my brother.

I honestly don't know what to do to get this depression of me.

Guys how can I stay and lead a happy life amidst dis mess! Pls help!
Stupid story. You are jealous. You are also a year older than your brother and what kind of respect do you need?
I think I can relate with your story because I have a fuccking jealous brother like you that cry and moans like this. What you dont even know is that your Father loves you equally. Another option is you can go ask your mother if he is truly your father (You never know if Mama waka some where or then adopt you - since you are first born).
PoliticsRe: Should I Return To Nigeria? by Sprumbaba: 10:21pm On Apr 04, 2013
[quote author=I no know book]If you read my earlier comment, I did say that there's crime everywhere, whether US, Europe, Nigeria etc, except may be North Korea. But crime dey grade by grade. You will be the biggest fool to say that Nigeria is very safe, and also to say that crime rate in Nigeria is comparable to that of the western world. Na proper lie. There is no basis whatsoever for the comparison. Nigeria is far worse, and there is no active enforcement of laws in Nigeria. Now, talking about the US in particular, I still live in nyc, and I can tell you that most people do go to bed in the night without any fear of being invaded in the dead of the night. Most people still cruise about in their cars on the road at any time of the day without being hijacked on the way. And when you have any security issue that threatens your life and you call 911, the police will be there within minutes. Crimes are actively investigated and culprits brought to book. Can you say that about Nigeria?

I know that many people do carry guns in the States, but one thing that I have found out is that, if you mind your business and try to avoid them, you will live there for years without having even a near experience with violence. But when you start dealing and mixing up with them or chasing their women or engaging in criminal activities especially drugs, then and only then will you be a target.

Western nations have their challenges when it comes to security, but you must be out of your mind to compare those challenges with that of Nigeria. It is like comparing sleep and death.[/quote]Dont mind the Rossik guy, he dey live for hood in the US in a cheap apartment. Why den no go carry gun come meet am.
Foreign AffairsRe: This God Forsaken Country Called BRITAIN. by Sprumbaba: 8:23pm On Apr 04, 2013
payless: I live in North Carolina. It is not easy anywhere in the U.S either. I paid $238 for gas and $79 dollars for elecricity for the month of March alone. Some times, I pay more than that. Water is $17 per month. If you want to live well, you have to pay well. That is the difference when compared to Nigeria. It is just not easy paying all these bills whether you are in Britain or U.S. What about day care for two kids? Add $230X2 per week for two kids.
Funny.

ugochukwumaduka: Who makes up a country..is it not d same group of people.dude y re u pple arguing in a very silly manner.I don't dispute d fact dt d US military strength is d best in d world...am I disputing comments by pple on how they use dt strength.just because you know how to kill somebody doesn't mean you will do it for knowing sakes...for dem to engage in conflicts, dey must have justifications approved by der congress and dos justifications don't include going to wipe out an entire populace for whatever reason....get d gist.a lot of you are thinking so narrow mindedly, limiting urselfs to their tech abilities and not d broader picture of socio-economic and political ramifications to warfare....wen osama bombed WTC, y didn't bush go and wipe out saudi arabia since osama is frm der...y didn't he wipe out afganistan since they supported and housed him.
Moreover, strength in an army comprises of personnel size,superior weapons,advance fighting tactics, morale and combat experience.all these put together is what makes d US military strong and none overshadows d other and with all of it, they still knw der limits. u can't have superior weapons and nt have pple to use dem, u can't just arm pple with cutting-edge weapons and not teach them hw to use dem effectively,u can't train pple and send dem to combat without making sure their welfare is well catered for and u can't do all des if u don't have d experience of wt war is and wt it dos to d human mind n body...mk all of una go rest.
Okay. no more talk. Alqeada is a country. Boko Haram will be a country soon.
PoliticsRe: World's Ten Largest Militaries-photos by Sprumbaba:
ugochukwumaduka: Dude it stil depends on whose terrain the battle is fought.without a doubt, d US has a very powerful force with advanced weapons but dat dosnt change the fact that ders is an extent to which it can deploy such force to a conventional conflict. will they annihilate China n wipe them off the face of the earth? No they will not and can not do dat no matter how great their force is.afganistan wz controlled by d taliban and actively supported alqeada,d citizens re hostile to d US cause, y didn't they just wipe out d country and b done with them.
u re just reeling out names of weapons,hw many times have they fully deployed them all in battle. You should ask urself to what end is a battle being fought for.like I said n quoting sun Tzu...its only those who know the evils of war that know how to go about its business...no be to they list weapons.
You have no point at all. Think before you type. War in Afghanistan is against a group of people and not a country. Nobody will be spared when it comes to country and there will be no issue of collateral damages. I hope you are watching military channels very well.

The US congress and Obama stopped the production of more F-35 fighters jet(F-25 has not even been in any combat operation yet) because they say The Enemy To Use Them For (F-35) Does Not Exist. US of A are miles ahead.
PoliticsRe: World's Ten Largest Militaries-photos by Sprumbaba: 7:26pm On Mar 28, 2013
hotwax: They are talking about world largest. It doesnt mean world super power.
UK, Germany are world super power.

War is not fought by number of humanoids. But with intelligence and technologies. Who needs a soldier when U can pilot a drone remotely.
Have you seen carpet bombing before?
American B53 bomber can take down 1000 soldiers in 7 minutes with its automated wheel machine gun. It is the badest killing machine on earth.

Do you want to compare China (the Largest) with UK? When talking about military technologies?
This is B53 Nuclear head while the carrier is B52 Bomber.For your benefit, yoruba people call it ADO OLORO. I need other translation.
