PoliticsRe: Aba’s Garment, Footwear Industry Can Rival Oil Revenue — Peter Obi by Ubanz: 12:57pm On Mar 29
Richtaiwo:
Here he goes again with another dubious claim. Aba footwear surpassing Nigeria’s oil revenue? If that were true, what is stopping them from fully pursuing such a lucrative venture?

This fraud needs to learn to distinguish between fantasy and reality, because Nigerians are far more concerned with facts than with superficial claims that can convince a baby goat.
How much of oil revenue accrues to Abia?
Abia's and other South Eastern oil revenue are being stolen and the remenats shared to the rest of Nigeria.

PropertiesRe: Borehole Experts, Please Help Me Interpret This Survey Report And Drilling Quote by Ubanz: 12:02pm On Mar 08
99thEnemy:
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
Why not try other borehole companies and compare their quotes.
You can always check prices @ building materials market near you.

Its not shites that spread terror in Nigeria. It's Bandits and Iswap.

Netanyahu should quit lazy propaganda.
Foreign AffairsRe: Saudi Arabia And Qatar Arrested Mossad Agents Planning Bombing (vid) by Ubanz: 2:00pm On Mar 03
This is definitely going to change the narrative. Israel has always perpetrated mischiefs using false flag operations.
Now God don catch them.
If they were not caught Israel would be the first to blame it on Iran or Hezbollah.
They tried same way in American Embassy in Egypt sometimes in the 80s and their agents got blown up.

Israel wants to put Middle East on fire and Netanyahu is happy that Iran is retaliating on the Arab world.
They want to use 1 stone to kill 2 birds but that has backfired.

This is just an assumption or a ruse aimed at obscuring the real method used.
