I was trying to see where the commissioner would mention the benefits of having those number plates, but it wasn't mentioned anywhere. Talking about benefits is a basic marketing strategy. This is common sense. I don't know where they get these people to work in public service.

Jinan, a city of 9.4 million people and the capital of Shandong Province in East China, has made world headlines. Crews working there have completed the monumental task of building the world's largest-diameter underwater shield tunnel.

Using the largest available tunnel boring machine (TBM) on Earth, the China Railway 14th Bureau Group Co., Ltd. is still excavating the main section of the 3.6-mile (5,755 m) tunnel. The 2-mile (3,290-m) section of underwater shield segments, however, is complete.

This section is a colossal 55.8 ft (17 m) in diameter and consists of 500 pipe rings of underwater shielding, making it the largest-diameter tunnel of its kind anywhere in the world.

For comparison, the Channel Tunnel that connects the UK and France has three tunnels, two of which are the public rail tunnels with a diameter of about 25 ft (7.6 m) ... though it is significantly longer, at 31.4 miles (50.5 km).

The Jinan Huanggang tunnel will feature six lanes of travel in both directions in a double-decker configuration, with a 60 km/h (37 mph) speed limit. It will be a crucial north-south passage across China's second-longest river, the Yellow River, enhancing connectivity between Jinan's main urban area and what is described as "the starting area for the transformation of new and old kinetic energy."

Aside from setting a world record for the tunnel's sheer size, the 14th Bureau Group also set a world record for completion time for such a vast undertaking.

Crews began tunneling on September 1st, 2024, and while the entirety of the tunnel hasn't yet been completed, the underwater shielding portion has. It was accomplished in a mere 110 days. The Shanhe shield machine had a daily advancement rate of 52.5 to 59 ft (16 to 18 m), setting a new world record for 17-meter-class shield construction.

The boring machine in question is the Herrenknecht "Shanhe" Shield Machine, a mixshield tunnel boring machine boasting a 57.4-ft (17.5-m) excavation diameter – roughly 5 stories tall. The cutterhead driver has 7,510 hp (5,600 kW) and about 25,827,209 lb-ft (35,017 kNm) of torque. Yes, nearly 26 million lb-ft of electric motors and hydraulic power.

It's built to operate and withstand up to 7.5 bar of pressure (that's 7.5 times normal atmospheric pressure at sea level). The excavation chamber on the business end of the Shanhe can handle up to 15 bar using a specialized automatic air cushion to balance pressure, maintain stability, and prevent collapse or flooding.

The cutting wheel is equipped with a flushing system to help prevent clogging. It also has a telescopic camera system in the excavation chamber to monitor the cutting bits and tunnel face. This reduces the need for hyperbaric intervention by maintenance workers, which is time-consuming and dangerous.

If you want to get a Shanhe for yourself, it'll likely set you back at least US$80 million or so. This figure is based on the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) in the US having shelled out a cool $76 million a 16.46-meter diameter Herrenknecht TBM.

The Jinan Huanggang Road Yellow River Crossing Tunnel is scheduled for completion sometime in late 2025.

Badenoch was born in Wimbledon, London. Her parents are of Nigerian origin. Her childhood was spent in part in Lagos and the United States. She returned to the United Kingdom at the age of 16.

The biennial football show is about to start and teams from different countries are arriving in the host country dressed in unique outfits.
While the super eagles of Nigeria dress like a super rich price, little can be said of the Ghanaians who look like the abobaku. What's your take on this?

Validated:
If you have a good certification, still in your thirties or below 40, or even early forties, you are able to save up to N10m and have a child or two children and not a political actor or a clergy of a big church, may I ask, "What are you still waiting for"?

You see, 7 months ago, your N10m was about $22K. Now, it is only about $8590. However bad, it could still take you to UK, atleast. Then you can begin sorting your life. Even if you have a business, it will be eroded soon.
What the likes of GSK, P&G, Unilever, Suntory, etc are saw or are seeing and moving should give you signal that this train is headed to a total anarchy.

Even if you do not love yourself, for the sake of your family, move. There is no hope in the foreseeable horizon. I am not a doomsday prophet, but if you understand the times, you know that things are going to get worse.

10 years ago, I called a friend and advised him to come over to Canada. He said he is not going to another man's country to "slave". He would rather come and visit and enjoy holidays. Funny enough his subordinate took the initiative. His (surbordinate) wife got a scholarship and in two years he relocated and he and his family now lives big in Ontario.

Fastforward to 2023, my friend is now in his early-50s, he has lost his job, his tottering business is now almost moribund. No thanks to Tinubu's economic janglova. Now, he is asking me to help him and his family relocate. 4 adults (Him, his wife and 2 children). How?

My reply may be brutal abd unfair, "Bro, you are 10 years late". He is now franticky looking towards the UK, looking for buyers of his inheritance, but the Tories are locking the gate on Dec 31, 2023. Not sure if he can still make it across.

My advice, if you can leave this sinking ship, please do ASAP. Today, it is armed robbery and kidnapping. In few years, a reminisce of the 1000000 boys will resurface.

Someone is going to come here to preach that it is not rosy out there. Yes, at first it will be rough. With time you will get along, learn the system, culture, then boom, you will just know you made a bold move. Nigeria is not getting better soon. Atleast, not with the huge debts and dwindling revenues that is over 50% channelled to debt servicing. Not with over 45% budget deficits to be financed on loans. Not with low purchasing power of the populace. Not with this "owambe" government. Not when our oil production is already swapped for loans for next 5 years and steeply declining productivity.

No, not with a Tinubu that does not understand productivity.

Alm WASIU SAKA OMOTAYO....... the Alm prefix is Almajiri

I reiterate your education is a waste, its not Bumpkin but Pumpkin. ..... You are just a worthless piece of stainless steel and crypto 419 sh^t. Your parents need to collect a refund from all the schools you attended, what a waste! You would have been better if your parents handed you over to Almajiri where you fit in. Your English is whack, it would be interesting to know your O level English score ( if its not forged?)

Who taught you village BUMPkin? ....this is what happens when nit wit drivers and welders join national conversations. Learn how to speak and write English before you attempt to read or respond to messages on this educated platform.

Both obi , jagaban , kwankwanso and all the people or nigeria are in the same boat , all messed up......but what has not changed is your stupidity and retardation.......from your 1 room in osogbo you Dumb driver and steel maker coming to Nairaland to comment..........worthless piece of cow dung.

At the end of the day your education has not impacted on you, your stainless steel and crypto 419 is impacted by the economic downturn . Efcc has a new chairman , they will arrest you for your scams. Your payment from APC to post divisive content will no longer come, your ugly black , blanklooking face will get uglier as you get broke and broker ....your tribal and religious hate will continue to eat you up. Its all downhill for you piggy

Stupid wasiu saka, Your assumptions are without substance , so you sit in your one room in Osogbo and believe all igbos are supporting isreal and all igbos do not support the Army.

I think your education is a waste , continue with your driver work, you have no say in issues of national scope. Your parents should have donated you to Almajari , they should not have wasted money educating you and you still end up as almajari!

Why is Rufai Oseni always arguing with every guest on Arise TV? Can't he just agree with someone for once?

IgOga:
The false peace we have in the world has made many forget what war looks like. In war few soldiers die....many civilians perish. Watch Troy a fallen city and you will understand what wars look like.

To start a war is easy the ending is just unpredictable. Hamas went to commit terror inside Israel. They know that the Israelis will react with force....they want it so they can blackmail Israel and win support of Palestinians. Hamas only controls Gaza they want to rule Palestine and they love your reactions. Unfortunately for them it seems Israel is about to take northern Gaza from them...which will reduce their influence...they even went as far as bombing their own hospital parking lot to blame Israel....the cowards hide behind women and children to launch rockets...using vulnerable people as human shield.

Have you ever wondered why Egypt also blockaded their border crossing with Gaza? You blame Israel but Gaza also shares border with Egypt. Nobody in the Arab world wants the people of Gaza because they constantly side with the Hamas terrorist group...the Arabs see every Gazan as a potential terrorist.
