I'm a man and personally if I block a girl I'm dating from entering my home...


It means I do not love or value her. I don't even respect her. Simple.



There is a way I would convey my feelings to her if I'm unsatisfied about her sudden appearance. They are ways to handle such... respectfully.


People think differently I agree. But if I stand at my door and prevent you from entering just know that it's time for you to move on even if I haven't told you so orally.


It's even difficult for me to threat someone I'm not dating that way!

Decision: Send my brother to Canada or invest in business in Nigeria? Which one makes more sense?

Racoon:
You climbed an alter to start dishing out false predictions about sports. This is how they do guess work and claimed "God spoke."

Imagine if the unbelievers around would ever agreed he has a calling. This is why the immortal man should never play God.

Macphenson:
Considering the public interest on the matter, they should have tested that particular bread and made the result public.

Macphenson:
They would have tested and given out the results, that would allaybpublic fears and restore confidence. But them not even doing that is an indictment on them.

Macphenson:
NAFDAC is not acting as a regulatory body on this issue. I was expecting them long before now to have tested the samples the woman had, and tell us the result.
Who told them Bon Bread wouldn't hurry to put their house in order evee since this issue started?

NAFDAC test the bread the woman showed on her video and give us the result.

The woman even said days after that sample of bread stayed with NAFDAC, it was still fresh. NAFDAC refused to test that sample with the woman

Honestly NAFDAC died with Dora Akunyili.

Let them drill aiming at the quoted 160m, but ensure to be there when they start installing the casing and count how many casings were used. Each casing is about 5m and then do the maths to arrive at the number of meters dug.

If they found water at 50-70m they definitely won't continue digging till they get to 150m. I'm not sure they can dig further than 20m once they hit water. So theres no issue.

The cheating might come in if you're not there when they're installing the casing as they can install 20 and say they did 30 if you were not counting.

Good day everyone.

I need advice from people here who have real experience with borehole drilling.

I carried out a geophysical survey on my plot this month, March 2026 , to determine the best location for a borehole. The survey suggested two possible spots: Point 2 and Point 6, and the recommended drilling depth for both spots is 160 meters.

However, from my layman understanding of the report, it seems like water may be available at a shallower depth than 160m. I may be wrong, which is why I am posting here for expert interpretation.

Attached is the survey image so that those who understand these readings can help explain whether 160m is truly necessary or whether water can reasonably be gotten at a lower depth, especially at Point 2 or Point 6.

I was given the following drilling quotations:

₦17,000 per meter using 8 bar PVC casing
₦18,000 per meter using 8 bar PVC casing

I was told that the difference between the ₦17,000 and ₦18,000 rates is the casing thickness, although the exact diameter and wall thickness were still not stated clearly.

I was also given another quote of:

₦24,000 per meter using 10 bar PVC casing

But again, the diameter and wall thickness were not stated.

I also asked how much it would cost if they do only the drilling/punching, while I buy and supply the casing myself. I was told that drilling/punching only would cost ₦14,000 per meter for the 160m depth.

I want to ask the experts here:

1. Looking at the survey image, does it truly mean I need to drill to 160m at Point 2 or Point 6, or is it possible to get good water at a lower depth?

2. Am I misreading the report where it seems water can be found earlier?

3. Does a recommendation of 160m usually mean that is where the best aquifer is, where the cleanest water is, or that shallower water may not be reliable?

4. Between 8 bar and 10 bar PVC casing, which one is more suitable for a 160m borehole?

5. Since I was told the difference between the ₦17,000 and ₦18,000 per meter quotes is thickness, what exact thickness should I be asking for?

6. What exact PVC casing specification should I be asking for:
diameter, wall thickness, pressure rating, screen/slotted pipe spec, and brand/manufacturer?

7. Is it a red flag for a driller to mention only 8 bar or 10 bar, and say one is thicker, without stating the exact diameter and wall thickness?

8. If I decide to buy the casing myself, what exact specification should I request so I do not buy the wrong one?

9. Apart from casing, what other materials would I need to provide if I go with drilling only/punching only?

10. Is ₦14,000 per meter for punching only not unreasonable?

11. Is it better to let the driller supply everything, or is it safer to buy the casing/materials myself?

12. Between Point 2 and Point 6, which location looks more suitable based on the survey?

13. What other questions should I ask before agreeing to drill?

I do not want to make a costly mistake, so I would really appreciate advice from people who understand borehole drilling and casing specifications well.

Thank you.

please I need help

Hello Nairalanders,

I'm Seun, the founder of Nairaland. Talk to me about what Nairaland is like for you. What's good and what's not so good right now.

I've been more focused on the backend and working on new features. It seems as if the moderation and other issues have fallen behind.

So, talk to me. What should we focus on in order to encourage you to start being more active on Nairaland?

PS: I have people dropping me messages presuming that Nairaland is over. What's that about?

seunmsg:
Nigeria should be very worried. This is no longer looking good. Over 20million barrels of crude oil passes through that strait daily. Oil prices have soared in response. If this continues, crude oil will go out of reach and global economy will collapse. The price of PMS will go over N1000 very soon in Nigeria.

I mean come to think of it, it seems ladies have totally lost interest in online communication in this generation people are all over social media but they are not really communicating or communicating very little, they may jump on trends, make comments but never communicate directly with each other, I remember in the days of 2go people are so eager to chat like crazy, it seems the steam has died down now.

These days I can bet you that if you collect the number of 10 ladies only 2 or 3 will reply you the way you want to be replied , I use to think the women do not chat a guy because they are not interested but I later realised it's not really so because even my girlfriend does the same thing she is so lazy to chat online.

Maybe the world is drifting back to the days of physical communication as online communication is getting boring and emotionless.

No.
I should just be pouring them out without reference.

Secondly, if you have to be making excuses, perhaps you support racism, you just don't know it.

Flangelo12:
Whether Elon Musk is "racist" is a subject of intense public debate, with accusations stemming from his social media activity and corporate management, while Musk himself strongly denies the label.
Arguments for the Accusation

Critics and civil rights organisations point to several areas as evidence of racial bias or the amplification of racist ideologies:

Social Media Activity: [/b]Musk has frequently engaged with or amplified far-right accounts on X (formerly Twitter). This includes replying "yes" to a post about "race communism" and agreeing with a post that claimed Jewish communities push "dialectical hatred against whites". He has also used X to post images seen as relying on racist tropes.
Corporate Discrimination Lawsuits: His company, Tesla, has faced multiple lawsuits alleging a culture of racial harassment. In one high-profile case, a Black former elevator operator was awarded $3.2 million in 2023 for enduring a hostile work environment at the Fremont factory.

[b]Platform Governance: [/b]Since Musk's takeover of X, researchers have documented significant spikes in racial slurs and hate speech. Critics argue his removal of "trust and safety" teams and reinstatement of banned accounts have turned the platform into a "hub" for far-right content.

[b]Opposition to DEI: Musk is a vocal critic of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, calling them "racist" and "corrosive to society". He has also accused mainstream media and elite schools of being "racist against whites and Asians

Assuming this is true, in what way does this compare to the utter damage that the west has done to women?

Kemetian:
That's a very IGNORANT way of looking at history and Africa.

Congo is underdeveloped because it was INVADED BY THIEVING COLONISERS who used FIREARMS to destroy what was a GLORIOUS precolonial African civilisation.

Do you know that MATHEMATICS was invented in Congo?

Look up the Lebombo Bone and Ishango Bone. World's oldest mathematical objects dated over 25,000 years, and showing evidence of the knowledge of Prime Numbers.

Mbanza Kongo was the precolonial capital. According to a report

''Founded before the arrival of Europeans, Mbanza Kongo became the royal seat of the Kingdom of Kongo in the 14th century. By the time the Portuguese arrived in 1483, it was already a large, organized urban center — with structured neighborhoods, noble compounds, and a royal court system.

The king, known as the Manikongo, ruled from here over a vast territory that included parts of present-day Angola, the Republic of Congo, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Gabon.

Early Portuguese accounts describe it as:

A planned city with wide streets

A central royal compound

Thousands of inhabitants

A structured aristocracy and administrative system

This challenges the outdated myth that Africa lacked organized urban civilization before European contact.''

....So this nonsense of saying ''Oh because it's whites there'' is absolute RUBBISH.

Africa INVENTED the very concept of cities. INVENTED ARCHITECTURE.

Your next day neighbour minus Chad, Sudan, has over 250 PYRAMIDS, more than Kemet (or 'Egypt'), and older than any structures in Europe and America.

IF WHITES HAD SAT IN THEIR OWN DAMN COUNTRY, AFRICA WOULD BE THE MOST DEVELOPED PLACE ON EARTH TODAY.

You know how some people think now, that Real madrid shirt is enough for them 😆 🤣

victoryenergy:
For me.
1- if you are chasing fame and greatness. Go to Madrid.

2- if you you are a footballer from a poor home, and wants to make money fast to lift members of your family at large including external family members, Go to Al Nassr.😊

Good day Nairalanders and football ⚽️ lovers,


Just as the topic, you are just starting your career and you were offered these two contract, to pick one, which will you go for and why?

Let's discuss

CodeTemplarr:
I have seen the video and it proves nothing tangible except that ammunitions are being expended. The soldiers are being commanded to advance toward nothing in particalar within sight. No bulletproof on them shows they just taking silly risk of higher firepower if any terrorist exists on the other side.

Another puzzling issue is, who recorded such a clip if not a deliberately orchestrated leak from NSA to score political points?


We saw someone dismissed from military for same offense just a weak ago. Lol

GanagiBitrus:
Like I said, the coach will handle it.
&if the Coach was to give a press statement, he'd say it's nothing to worry about. Would you also accuse the coach of "supporting bad habits" ?

Even Lookman has played down the incident, so you guys should stop crying more than the bereaved.

Lexzeey:
In every family there's these uncles and aunts who knows nothing about you, they don't even know your name sometimes or how you survived into adulthood but feels you owe them allegiance whenever they see you.

first off I know it's an African thing to always respect people older than you, and before you crucify me I am also an adult now with his own adult life, I keep to myself and I don't force people to respect me as respect is earned.

A family member died and we all came back for it, coupled with the holidays, the whole extended family was present including some of those in diaspora, I'm an introvert so I keep to myself, I generally greeted everyone when I came and sat in my corner.

Then there's this useless Cockatoo who drank free beer until his brains froze, first he kept talking about yahoo boys, how they dress a certain way, how they do all sorts to be rich, how they kill people to be rich, they both with soap gotten from herbalist, they don't go to work yet they're living fine, they have cars at a young age etc.

Now when you're talking and you don't call my name trust me I won't answer you. Even if it's obvious you're talking about me, and from all indication this man was talking about me, one my mom is dead, two I earn online and don't physically go to work, third I am not begging I'm doing okay, but I still didn't pay him any mind, then he indirectly started talking about how they don't respect people enough, he was so pained for some reason and condescending.

I just got up and went to a shop outside our family house, as I was buying something this weyrey came, I got what I wanted and turned to leave and that was when I felt it, waaam at my back, this guy slapped me on my back, then he asked me directly, didn't you see me? Don't you know I'm your uncle?

I lost it, and like a reflex I slapped him back hard it was a resounding slap, he staggered backwards, and my cousins held me, before I know it has spread that I just slapped uncle whatever his name is, what's painful is everyone blamed me, for being disrespectful and suddenly it didn't matter what he did, I'm somehow supposed to attone for it.

this man didn't know how I survived till adulthood, not even a penny of his went into my upbringing, I don't know why he felt I owe him respect and allegiance, even if I did, why does he have to go about it that way.

Unarguably, he's got a bad attitude, but something triggers such attitude.
Osimhen is hungry and thirst for more, as a center forward it's annoying when your teammates become indecisive when pressuring.
Is it a big deal to just pass when necessary?
I've watched a lot of his matches, he overreacts when you don't give him what he wants which is the ball.
Just give him the ball when you are sidelined by an opponent, he's always there, always in the right angles.
Also, have Osimhen ever scold Lookman when he(Lookman) scores?? Infact Osimhen is always the fess to run to his wingers when they score.
But just give him the ball when you're sidelined, don't gamble a 1vs1 display when pressuring knowing quite well Osimhen has the space, he's spaced brilliantly, he will also point to you the spaces, don't gamble a 1vs1 display give him the ball. Then if eventually you gamble right and score he will be happy, but if you don't it annoys him because he sees it as a clear miss of chances.
I played CF role, it's annoying when your wingers are indecisive and gamble with opportunities like this after the runnings and energy wasted. Same reason Wayne Rooney overreacted at old Trafford .
I saw someone who mentioned that teams don't want him because of his attitude, that's a fact lie. A big fat lie!!
