CrimeRe: Councillor Beats Nephew To Death In Anambra Over Missing Phone by stpat1(m): 3:29pm On May 17, 2016

Really?

I knew this post will make FP and as a sharp guy, I quickly aligned and joined the move to the promised land.

My fellow Nigerians say no to NLC strike and yes to removal of fuel subsidy.....

Meanwhile, i am soaking garri with Lagos groundnut here, who care to join me?
You are just a fool. They are talking about the death of a young boy and you are talking rubbish.

Even a 5 year old can reason better than you.
RomanceRe: I Feel Like Am Being Used.. Advice! by stpat1(m): 7:44am On May 15, 2016
Ahhh and you are still here asking questions. You dull o.

Lemme share a similar experience with you guys.
There is this very pretty babe I met sometime ago, in Ph. We did stuffs for like 2 months and both parties were forming loving.
There was a day she called and said she was not buoyant and she needs some provisions. Since I was busy at the office and will be travelling to work the next day, I promised her I'll try and see her before heading back home to prepare for my journey.

By the time I was eventually free to go see her, it was about 9pm but I was still resolute to see her since she said she was broke and needed stuffs. I got to the closest supermarket nearby and got some provisions like milk, Milo, corn flakes, Oats and I think custard.

When I got to her house after all the stress and called her that I'm at the gate. I got the shocker of my life. The babe was ranting that why am I just coming, that it's because I want to sleep over blah blah blah. I just told her aiiigght
I was shocked cos no babe has been so rude to me. Just imagine, my stress, my money, my provisions, my time. I just turned back immediately. She came out and was coming after me trying to apologise and all that trash. I stopped a cab and headed straight home.

While I was in the cab, she kept calling. That was the end of the relationship. She called, text and sent FB messages but I never replied.

After all, I no lose. I'd already gotten what I want from her and was just trying to be a good guy.

Guy place value of yourself. There are better chicks out there that will appreciate your time.

He is not I sensitive, why postpone the dooms day. Subsidy will need to go to attract the needed investment in the downstream sector.
Its beneficial in the long run.

If it because of the subsidy removal she is Sayi g this, then she might have gone through school but not educated herself. She is is either ill informed, misinformed or grossly ignorant of the economics of the nation.
PropertiesRe: Can Someone Please Help Me With This ????? by stpat1(m): 8:38am On May 11, 2016
Just went through the op's post again. The quotation is from foundation to German floor. This means the foundation is not included.
Renegotiate with him on the labour and supervision fee. For the materials cost, I cannot comment on it since I don't know what he is buying.
PropertiesRe: Can Someone Please Help Me With This ????? by stpat1(m): 8:15am On May 11, 2016
deolaarc:
I have spent 1.5million materials and labour for a similar project am doing. Please note that it is not a water logged area. Supervision cost should not be more that 250k
By supervision, you mean you still have to pay for labour yourself?
PropertiesRe: Can Someone Please Help Me With This ????? by stpat1(m): 8:11am On May 11, 2016

The figure quoted is not too much for any type of foundation adopted.

Just find out if all the items mentioned below are included in the scope of work (assuming it's a strip foundation):

1. Setting out
2. Excavation
3. Blinding
4. Preparation of Column Base
5. Starter Bars reinforcement
6. Foundation blocks
7. Formwork for the starter bars
8. Sandfilling
9. Surface treatment (Compacting, Laying of Damproof Membrane, Blinding, Mesh reinforcement etc)
10. DPC formwork
11. Rough-in pipe work for mechanicals
12. Pouring of the DPC concrete.

I'm 100% confident that the estimate given is not for a raft foundation.

Also find out the height of the foundation because if it includes materials, labour and supervision, you need to be sure of what you're walking into.

No matter how much of compromise your contractor is willing to make on this build, he will definitely need to make provision for the following if not more:

1. Granite - 150k
2. Sand (4) - 160k
3. Iron rod (1 ton) - 130k
4. Rings and binding wires - 20k
5. Cement (180 bags) - 270k
6. Blocks based on the partitions and 4 block height (1500 pcs) - 240k
7. Planks and Nails - 50k
8. Sandfilling - ??
9. Plumbing materials - ??
10. Miscellanous (DPM, etc) - ??
You have really analysed well. This is based on a project I am handling now.
If its the engineer that will handle the workmanship from the setting out, to excavation till to the German floor. This will include the builders labour, the welder's labour, the carpenter in fact everything about labour etc. Then the workmanship is very reasonable.

Secondly, if he also the one to buy all the materials that will be needed. Hmmm I doubt of that amount will be enough o. Though he knows best.

In my opinion, the price is reasonable but I doubt if he Wont ask for more funds when you already neck deep into the project.

My dear. I'm talking from experience. Leave the job and go for your masters. You will be better off after your masters and if possible PhD .
You will definitely get better job offers going by the experience and educational level you have attained

Go for your masters.

In this same Rivers State I live in?
When did the present government flag off and "complete" these projects?
Most of these listed projects were started and as good as completed by the previous government!
May we not all be blinded by political affiliations.
Posterity will judge.
Thank you o my brother. They even mentioned my area. The road that was already completed by the Amaechi govt even way before the elections.
This is why I just don't like this Wike and his team.
Even if you have tried in other areas, why take the glory for what the past govt did. Has he even done 1/50th of what Amaechi did?

ITs obvious she is indeed hiding something from you, but since u have no proof, i will advice u to secretly confront her close friend, as in best of friends, if u play ur game well, her best friend will open up to u.
Don't try this o. Don't even try involving her friend. You will only make matters worse. The truth is that she is actually hiding something unpleasant as thats the only reason she would put up a fight when you touch her phone.
FamilyRe: What Can Make You Forgive Your Wife If She Cheats? by stpat1(m): 10:51pm On Apr 05, 2016
missbronze:
I don't really agree with your last statement.

Situations can make people do something drastic.

Let's look at this scenario for eg,

A wife and her husband have a kid who is critically ill and hospital wouldn't commence treatment unless a deposit is made.

husband and wife runs around for money, yet. no help.
( let's say husband have no job and poor)

Wife now runs to a rich neighbor for assistance, and he asks to sleep with her before rendering assistance.

Believe me, it will take a strong woman not to give in to save her child.

But, if she gives in for her child, will you say she has been planning it?
That's not cheating cos it's more or less under duress. That's not the situation op is talking about.
