privatelord: You are totally correct, from what I am seeing in that picture, I have serious doubts that this road will last, Rigid pavements have been proven to last for a very long time, however, it must be handled by professionals, its not just about pouring concrete, and lining up a few reinforcements here and there without proper analysis and design. Stop displaying your ignorance, that is not a concrete road it is a solid ground floor. Instead of using laterite to fill the road, they are making a solid ground floor, afterwards, the road will be tarred. Seek knowledge! |

Dogalmighty17: Quacks. Better not to have used any concrete at all than do have used what they did up there. When people hear concrete for road they think it is just ordinary mix and pour. Concrete has grades and different mix types. The least acceptable concrete grade is M30 which what they are doing up there is no where close to. I doubt when this concrete sets it can take up to 2000 psi. it is you who is ignorant, that is not a concrete road, that is a solid ground floor, the road will be tarred. The underlying soil is weak, hence they will make a solid ground floor before tarring |

Na them go lose last last  Total European funds in Russia is less than 50bn euros, and it is not held in form of a reserve or financial securities, rather it is simply FDI from individuals and large corporations. Putin made a statement this morning calling for a cease fire if Ukraine will withdraw troops from occupied territories, truth is the guy is tired.

If he was another type of man, the moment she brings up the topic of traveling for a business meeting (which I’m sure she does often), he would have started whining about how he won’t have anyone at home to cook for and clean up after him.
Then he’ll bring it to nairaland and y’all will advice him to divorce her or keep side chicks because how can a married woman be gallivanting all over the world. It’s her fault bla bla bla.
Then Any woman who supports her will be a bitter feminist who wants to emasculate men.
Now both of them are reaping the benefits of her being a liberated woman and you guys are full of praises. Meanwhile you’re not connecting the dots that the lifestyle you guys actually want for her women wouldn’t allow a woman like Ngozi to thrive. The Husband na master in wiping side chicks, this is not hear say...Ngozi wants to maintain sanity in her home by all means, if not she would have divorced him long ago |
Politics › Permit Threat: Russia Forces Students From Nigeria, Africa To Fight In Ukraine by SSpeter(op): 9:46am On Jun 12, 2024 |
Russia has added extra manpower for its offensive in Kharkiv Oblast, forcing “thousands of migrants and foreign students” some of who could be Nigerians, to fight alongside its troops in its war against Ukraine, Bloomberg reported on June 9, citing unnamed European officials. Moscow launched a new offensive on May 10 in Kharkiv Oblast, where it reportedly managed to advance as far as 10 kilometers (6 miles) before Ukraine halted the advance near the first line of defense. On June 8, President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Russian troops had failed their Kharkiv Oblast offensive. According to the Bloomberg report, Russian officials have been threatening African students and young workers not to extend their visas unless “they agree to join the military.” Such a tactic was first deployed by the Russian Wagner mercenary group, Bloomberg reported. While Russia has also been enlisting convicts, some Africans on work visas “have been detained and forced to decide between deportation or fighting,” Bloomberg cited an anonymous European official. “Some of those people had been able to bribe officials to stay in the country and still avoid military service,” the report reads. This is not the first time the Russian military is reported to have started bringing prisoners, migrants, and foreign nationals into its ranks. Last September, the U.K. Defense Ministry reported that Russia was stepping up its campaign to recruit foreigners in neighboring countries and exploited migrant workers for its war against Ukraine. The push to recruit foreigners and migrant workers “allows the Kremlin to acquire additional personnel for its war effort in the face of mounting casualties,” the ministry said. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vanguardngr.com/2024/06/work-permit-threat-russia-forces-students-from-nigeria-africa-to-fight-in-ukraine/amp/ |

Foreign Affairs › Iran Asked US For Help After Plane Crash, But Washington Was 'unable' by SSpeter(op): 9:13am On May 22, 2024 |
The Iranian government reached out to the United States for assistance following the plane crash involving President Ebrahim Raisi, but Washington was "unable to provide that assistance", citing the US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller. "We were asked for assistance by the Iranian government. We did make clear to them that we would offer assistance, as we would do in response to any request by a foreign government in this sort of situation," Miller said. The State Department spokesperson added that the US ultimately could not assist Iran due to logistical reasons. When asked whether the US was concerned that Tehran might blame Washington for the Iranian president's death, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin denied any connection between the US and the plane crash. *Death of Iranian President* On May 19, Iranian media reported that Raisi's helicopter made a hard landing after returning from a visit to Azerbaijan. It was later revealed that Tehran had organized a search and rescue operation to locate the crash site. By May 20, information began to emerge that rescuers had found the helicopter, but none of the passengers survived. Later, Iran's Vice President confirmed Raisi's death. Among the deceased were other high-ranking officials. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/iran-asked-us-for-help-after-plane-crash-but-washington-was-unable/ar-BB1mN6i2?ocid=nl_article_link |

Politics › UK Home Office In Threat To Deport Disabled Man To Nigeria After 38 Years In UK by SSpeter(op): 12:46pm On May 19, 2024 |
A disabled man who has lived in the UK for 38 years has been threatened with removal from the UK by the Home Office.
Anthony Olubunmi George, 61, came to the UK at the age of 24 in 1986 from Nigeria. He has not left the UK since and has no criminal convictions. In 2019, he had two strokes, which left him with problems with speech and mobility.
The Guardian also reported on the case of Nelson Shardey, 74, a newsagent from Merseyside who has lived in the UK since 1977 and was refused indefinite leave to remain by the Home Office despite being in the country for most of his adult life. When George arrived, Margaret Thatcher was prime minister and Rishi Sunak is the ninth to hold office since George has lived in the UK. He has endured many periods of homelessness and says he has lost count of the number of friends who have given him shelter over the years. He says he no longer has any close family in Nigeria.
George has made various applications for leave to remain in the UK, which the Home Office has rejected, most recently on 7 May.
In 2005, his previous solicitors submitted a forged entry stamp in his passport and have subsequently been reported to the police and the legal regulatory bodies.
George told the Guardian he knew nothing about the passport stamp until many years later. His current lawyer, Naga Kandiah of MTC Solicitors, cited his poor previous legal representation as the reason for George’s problems. In his most recent refusal, Home Office officials said: “Unfortunately this is not something that is considered an exceptional circumstance.”
Kandiah has lodged an appeal against the latest refusal.
A previous Home Office rejection of his case states: “It’s open to your family and friends to visit you in Nigeria.”
George said: “I don’t know how many different sofas I’ve slept on – too many to count. I don’t have my life, living the way I’m living now. My health problems since I had my stroke are my biggest worry. All I’m asking for is some kindness from the Home Office.”
Kandiah said: “My client has been living in limbo for 38 years, with no family, has suffered two strokes and has no family left in Nigeria. His situation is not just because of Home Office policies but also because of poor representation by previous solicitors who failed to uphold professional integrity and ethical standards.”
A Home Office spokesperson said: “Applications have to be considered on their individual merits in accordance with the immigration rules with the responsibility on applicants to demonstrate they meet these rules.” https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/may/19/home-office-in-threat-to-deport-disabled-man-to-nigeria-after-38-years-in-uk
