AutosRe: Are These Semi Trailers Popular In Nigeria? by whirlwind7(m): 9:48am On Jan 09, 2016
BruceChang:
Thanks for replying again.

I will try to contact Nigeria Breweries Plc.

"Stake trailer" is a direct translation from its Chinese name. Do you have a different name in Nigeria?
I'm not sure what specific names they are called here. "Trailers" are the general term used for them. Pictures will serve to explain the specific trailer you are referring to when you try to contact potential buyers.
AutosRe: Are These Semi Trailers Popular In Nigeria? by whirlwind7(m): 8:34am On Jan 09, 2016
Yes, Haulage and construction companies are spot on.
I know the stake trailers are used by brewery companies to transport their products.
One of the biggest here is Nigeria Breweries Plc.

About sending samples, this is quite true. But seeing how costly (financial and time wise) this could be, video presentations can help out.

Thank you for you reply. What does FP mean?
FP means front page.

Yes, these trailers are certainly found in Nigeria. The flatbeds are quite common though.
Logistics and construction companies should be your target. You will require good marketing strategies too.

Trailers are still fulfilling their mission on Naija and especially Lagos roads.

The impotent government still can't enforce the ban on daytime movement for them.
PropertiesRe: Land not available by whirlwind7(m): 9:20am On Jan 07, 2016
@ djnonny, Vaxt: I think it's prudent to also inform people how much is to be paid as development levies, and other sundry charges.
There are certain rites that non indigenous buyers are expected to pay. This should be stated, so any interested person knows the additional financial commitments he's going to make.

Also, I'm wondering why you couldn't come up with pictures of the said land.
At first, you posted a computer generated image. Later, you changed it with these pictures Spyder880 took when he went to inspect lands in Anambra. I don't think he took those pics at Ebenebe. They are from other locations in Awka.

TravelRe: Trailer Falls In Agege Railway Crossing This Morning - Photos by whirlwind7(m):
Seem like most articulated vehicles, aka trailers in Lagos have suddenly become babies who are learning to walk for the first time: They keep falling and tumbling even when there seemed to be no reason to stumble.

Government has ordered they shouldn't ply the roads in the daytime anymore.
But since governments are nothing to take seriously anymore, accidents like this will keep happening. They are good at making rules which they couldn't enforce.
RomanceRe: Penastory: Advice Me: Is It Wrong If I Get Married To My Late Sister’s Husband? by whirlwind7(m): 8:28am On Jan 07, 2016
Tell tales? More like "tall tales"

But seriously, this isn't the sort of question you would want the public to help you with an answer (reason why I think it's a tall tale)
The man suggested marriage, and you began to look him in that light. Well, if you think he's suitable, why not?

There's nothing ethically, morally, spiritually or physically wrong with getting married to your late sister's hubby.
The only obstacle to this is YOU. Do you wholeheartedly accept the idea of marrying him?

Everyone and everything else, including family, friends and foes will fall into place once you honestly answer this question.
You didn't say if you are identical twin to your sister.
If you guys are identical, and I happen to be your late sister's hubby, walahi I will not let you escape me! Perfect replacement.

Note this: Once you marry him, mischievous folks will whisper that you killed your sister in order to snatch her hubby. So, I hope you have a thick skin.
TravelRe: My Horrible Experience At Murtala Mohammed Airport::::::(see pictures):::::::::: by whirlwind7(m):
tensazangetsu:
That airport is a disgrace. What of the fact that you have to dish our 500 naira to use a trolley. Something that is free everywhere else in the world. This country should be sold to China and the money shared for everyone. Useless country.
WOW!!!
Even though this statement was meant to be sarcastic (The part about selling the country to China and let everyone share the proceeds) I think it actually holds some merit.
Black Africans are absolutely horrible at governing themselves. We suck at almost everything, apart from fvcking, eating and perhaps, sports.
PropertiesRe: Buy Lands At "Royal Palms Estates", Okuku, Owerri. by whirlwind7(m):
spyder880:
As we all have seen , only 3 plots of land has been paid for in this whole land. This is not encouraging enough for me to keep putting more money and resources into this venture. I had stopped updating the thread in the hope that people might ask further questions, especially this dry season, but it seems the pockets of the inhabitants of this state is dry now.

The lesson I learnt here is that land and property business is not as hot as it is in Enugu/Anambra axis (maybe I am wrong sha)

I am planning to refund the funds of all that sent me money for this planned estate in Owerri and move for another new estate in Enugu or Anambra State later this year.

Ndi Owerri, Ekelekwaa mu unu oo cheesy cheesy
I totally understand your point of view.
However, note that it is not just the people from Owerri/Imo state that would purchase lands here. Potential investors are from every southeast states, and even beyond.
The truth is that, spending powers seem to have nosedived since the past one year or so. A bad economy affects the general populace.
That doesn't stop us from forging ahead and conquering new frontiers, though. Let's keep pushing. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.

JAZES:
GBAM

We still have a long way to go in this country and the earlier we understand that the fight against
corruption starts with each and everyone of us the better.
You really think this is a country, or a nation? Think again!

In Nigeria, every single person looks out for himself. Don't even think there is a cohesion.
Every policeman looks out for himself.
Every customs officer looks out for himself.
Every business man looks out for himself.
Every petty trader looks out for himself.
Every civil servant looks out for himself.
Every soldier looks out for himself.
Every politician looks out for himself.
Every professional person looks out for himself.

The government rapes the people and its resources all the time, so the people feel no single remorse for getting back at the government whenever they get opportunity. In this sort of society, loyalty or patriotism is the farthest thing on your mind. Survival by any means possible is the first and only rule.

In this so called country, it has long become the game of survival of the fittest. It is open season. Take as much as you can, while you can, when you can. The bigger you can steal, the more chances you have at escaping the law. The politicians have proven this theory an uncountable number of times.

PropertiesRe: Buy Lands At Our Planned Estate "Royal Palm Estates" Ugwuomu Nike, Enugu by whirlwind7(m): 6:17am On Jan 04, 2016
spyder880:
Another suggestion I have, is to reserve plots numbers 11,13 and 15 as estate sports facilities. These plots are still unsold and as such are free for us to use. Only plots numbers 7,9,14,25 and 31 are remaining in the old block.
I thought plots 9 and 31 have been sold already? Check your records.
Also, now that you suggest plots 11,13 and 15 be reserved for recreational facilities, what happens to other reserved plots? (18,19,20,21 and 56, 57, 58) Are the original plans they were meant for still intact, or they are going to be changed?

Stalemate!

This is the situation where dialogue, negotiation, compromise and a smooth tongue are needed.

Man #1 is at more risk, especially if the cliff is a very high one. If man #2 quickly jumps sideways, the short range might ensure the bullet doesn't miss, but it may not hit important organs (head, heart etc) and man #1 plunges to his death. What is he even smiling for?

What could be the cause of such traffic jam, on a well spaced apart dual road?
Both roads are chocked up. Makes no sense. It can't just be a case of too much vehicles on the road at once, could it?
PropertiesRe: HOW TO CONSTRUCT A FENCE WITH GATE IN YOUR PROPERTY. by whirlwind7(m): 5:28pm On Dec 31, 2015
Kennycyphers:
Maximum respect to spyder880, his threads here on property section of Nairaland really gingered me up to go into this fencing project. Am just here to share my experience and to give a breakdown of how I was able to carry out the project so that people out there who have such project will be well informed before starting up.
ANALYSIS OF A FENCING PROJECT CARRIED OUT IN ANAMBRA STATE.
Location of the plot: Awka, Anambra State
Plot Size: 60ft. by 100ft approximately 18m by 30m {The fencing will cover just 3walls as 1 of the walls which I share with a neighboring plot has already been erected so am focusing on the remaining 3. which is 201ft(96ft + 60ft + 45ft) if we exclude the 100ft that has already been covered and the 15ft mapped out for erecting of gate.
Time frame: 2 to 3weeks( 12 days of activities)
LIST OF ALL EXPENSES:
1. Labour =>. #148,000 naira
2. Development fee => #200,000 naira
3. Gate => #170,000 naira
4. 6"inches solid Blocks(#130 * 1500pieces) => #195,000 naira
5. White sand(2 trips @13,000 each). => #26,000 naira
6. Cement (45 bags @ 1500 each) => #67,500 naira
7. Water (3tanks of 500liters @ 2500 each) => #7,500 naira
8. Transportation and Misc. Expenses => #25,500 naira
9. Gate column construction materials => #49,600 naira
Total Expenditure => #889,100 naira.
I will still give a breakdown of the day to day activities and the different stages of work carried out in the site.
*Note: Development fee is a fee imposed by the community where the site is situated, that before any development is carried out, land owners must pay the annoying sum of 200,000 naira to the community or else they will come around on daily basis to disturb the work which will lead to more expenses and damages... this particular fee delayed the project for 1 whole month as we tried to see if we can negotiate with the community,... all to no avail. They charge the highest development fee in the state. Its so annoying I hope the state government will do something about it... I just don't want to mention the community.. But I don't see why developers should be ripped off for no just course all in the name of development fee/levy. So it might not necessarily be the case in your own area but you just have to make inquiries first before starting the project because those youths are quite destructive when they re not being settled.
I commend you for sharing your experience and expenses incurred for this project. I also would like to know how many coaches were constructed.

Now, why wouldn't you want to mention the said community? I see nothing wrong in doing so. Everyone knows that development fees are usually demanded almost everywhere, but 200k is rather too high. Please, I want to know what community. I am hoping to acquire plots within Awka, especially around Ebenebe.

Keep rising!
CrimeRe: Man Kills His Two-month Old Baby: Pic(mother And Baby) by whirlwind7(m): 5:02pm On Dec 31, 2015
Both parents should be punished for this crime.

How does the stup!d woman expect a man to take care of a 2 month old baby, who should still be exclusively feeding on breast milk?
Arguably, her action was borne out of anger, and she was trying to make the man feel sorry for abandoning her and the child.

As for the man, I'm letting my imagination run wild on the sort of punishment befitting such an animal. What kind of human being could strangle a helpless 2 month old baby, sired from his own loins? I will gladly take part in stabbing him to death with a toothpick! I am that angry!! angry

This world is indeed wicked and lost.

It is not a mixture of different soil types that gave this pastel colour but the particular 'batch' of laterite supplied.

About plumbing works, the bricks can be grinded, plumbing pipes fitted and sealed, this is done.especially for water pipes but it requires serious expertise. Most times surface plumbing works is what is done.

I will definitely upload pictures of plumbing works of this particular project in due time.

I hope I have been able to answer your questions sir.
Yes, thanks.
I'm still eager to see how the plumbing is done. Same goes for electrical wiring, especially conduits.
