Nigerians should stop referring to the news on capital market crash in China as an excuse for lack of policy and direction.

Helical Ellipse Staircase: A piece of art.

Most staircases do a great job of getting you from one storey to another within a home. Then there are those that are also stunning design centrepieces.

Our current project under construction will feature the sculptural potential of an helical ellipse staircase. In the end, we will have a sculptural elliptical grand staircase that not only provides function architecturally, but also acts independently as a sculptural art piece.

Watch this space.

Simplifying Complexities. Delivering Possibilities.

1. 1 wheel barrow @ N1500/nr = N15,000
2. 5 head pan and shovel @ N800/nr = N10,000
3. Builders square, lines, bucket etc = N6,000
Total = N31,000

sinking of bore hole may be capital intensive depending on the location of the building. Here in south south ( Rivers), the water table in shallow nd hand drilling can be employed. A depth of about 10m will guarantee adequate supply of water for the project.
Note that the bore hole will be useful after the completion of the house since only an overhead tank will be required

.... I was all in defending him over the portharcourt project until people who had known him longer pointed that it is a pattern of behaviour so that when ile oluji happened it was the 4 or 5th project with complaints.

Afterall as a young man we want him to do well and are willing to forgive the occasional mistake until we realise we are dealing with an ogbologbo.

I still do not understand how Brabus managed to hoodwink virtually everyone on Nairaland into believing he is seasoned builder. He is not. Please do not throw away your money.

A couple of years ago (I think it was around 2010) when he was at the earlier stages of (what was allegedly) his house in Sagamu, he was on this very forum asking newbie questions. I still remember vividly because one particular Nairalander (with handle aasog or aasog1 or something like that) stood out amongst others on that thread in terms of the quality of advise he was giving Brabus and on this basis I had the aasog guy on my "monitor" list. I remember Brabus being openly thankful for the advice he was getting and throughout he did not give anyone the impression he was a professional builder, quite the opposite, he instead spoke as an average guy who just wanted to complete his personal project without getting ripped off by others - much like jaydacorsair here. And then, the next thing you will see, out of nowhere, is "NextHome Builders". Jesus Christ.

Now he goes about parading himself as a consummate professional and you would be forgiven for thinking he has been building houses for ages. By cleverly associating himself with folks like Spider, Segcy, etc, he has created a perfect camouflage for his inexperience. By using superior presentation skills, he projects professionalism. This guy is practically making it up as he goes, with goof after goof and unfortunately it is clients who are paying the price.


Folks, especially those in the Diaspora, before you dish your money out please triple check properly and don't be guided by what you are seeing and hearing on a faceless forum. I rest my case and wish jaydacorsair the best possible outcome from here on.

X!

Yes, you can only withdraw in Naira while in Nigeria.

Simple question: can you go to a bank in US or England and withdraw in Naira? I dont think so.

stagger:
My friend, if you have a domiciliary account, you will be paid in foreign currency for each withdrawal. I have operated one for years and I have NEVER been paid in Naira. Not once. I will even transact tomorrow.

Get your facts straight and stop confusing newbies here.

My dear, northeners would buy but who would buy from them since nodody can deposit to the domicialiary account.

ogawisdom:

The one I know of is to use it to run diesel generators. You link it to the air filter.

mfm04622:
All you need to do to use gas instead of diesel or petrol is change the carburettor or where the fuel is burned. The important steps you need is to clean the biogas (remove impurities especially hydrogen sulphide that attack metals), dry it (remove moisture) and compress it.

pendy79:
Can you read what you're writing at all? The Conservatives won the last Poll based on their promise to tackle illegal immigrants. They are just fulfilling their electoral promise.

Will Buhari tell Cameron not to return people living in the UK illegally? The UK has made various ways through which immigrants can be properly documented, there is the 5-year route, 10year route and other ways they could be properly fitted into the system but if they can't meet up why still remain and be shouting victimization or oppression.

There is the law and if you're caught breaking it, don't cry or seek for pity. Saw the way some folks attacked immigration officials in peckham some weeks back and I ponder if they assume MAY will look the other way while they go crazy attacking officials doing their work.

You are in UK but know Foreigners who are in Nigeria without Permit? Why will a Briton or an American remain in Nigeria without papers? Is he a fugitive running from the law? Because it is silly thinking to assume Nigeria is a country loved by a right thinking westerner to come stay without adequate documentation by the embassy or high commission.

Guess those your foreigners will be Ghanians, Filipinos and Indians or Chinese. Over 30% of Nigerians in the UK are without documentation and they are never quiet or easy going, they indulge in all kind of vices and silly acts which damage the reputation of the entire black race and funnily they are mostly from a particular tribe in Nigeria.

There is provision for voluntary return and they even give you some resettlement fund advise others to go turn themselves in.

Nigeria maybe a kangaroo republic other serious countries take their laws serious or they can continue to hide until Labour comes to rule the parliament. The Tories don't take shit from anyone

cramjones:
I read about the pay scale of bankers in Nigeria with deep and utter sadness. I haven't been able to sleep since I read the stories on Nairaland, for I have been deeply disturbed. Prior to these articles, I erroneously thought that entry level bankers earn nothing less than 120k, but I was very wrong! My nephew is banker, but he keeps asking me to send him money. I joke about it, albeit ignorantly, not knowing his pay is that of a slave.

Fellow Nigerians, granted we have over 50 million unemployed youths, nevertheless should we accept to be slaves in our own country? What will a young man full of life and energy do with 24k/month or $110 per month. I can remember many times I have spent such an amount one night on a family dinner. This is not fair and must be stopped! We must task the incoming administration to review our labor laws. It is unacceptable for a graduate working in a multibillion dollar coporation as a banker to earn less than $4/day.

Instead of trekking from pillar to post, do something about it! I would like to urge all youths to use the power of social media and spread the word. We must start that way. I will do my part by telling the C-in-C to tackle this slave labor head on. Not just the banks, but we must have enforcable laws that all employers of labor must abide to. Little wonder why Kelechi and Kayode are doing drugs in Indonesia. Little wonder why Ifeoma, Kabiru and Femi are drowning in the mediterranean trying to cross to Europe. We must put an end to modern day slavery, wickedness and greed!

You have all taken the right step by revealing it. Now make it popular and we will work on the one-on-one side. This must stop!

Analysis: Will Ross, BBC News, Lagos

The former military ruler has been out of power for close to 30 years and although popular, especially in northern Nigeria, there is little evidence to prove he has what it takes to fix the country.

bugmenot:

What's the idea behind laying the blocks in the middle of the soakaway by the sides?

spyder880:
Rains, very heavy downpour for 3 hours at least.

spyder880:
The rains have been falling heavily since the day we started laying the blocks on the decking.

spyder880:
The use of the decking biscuits? To place a space between the decking platform and the reinforcement mat as to insert the electrical pipes. It protects the pipes from pressure trampling boots.

DRealGeesam:
IF you are talking about producing electricity for commercial purpose eg electricity for a whole state or country, then nuclear, hydro, wave, wind are all cheaper than solar and are more practical. BUT if you are talking about an individual producing electricity for himself, Hydro and nuclear are not economical or practical. You keep talking of battery. Is cost of fuel in 3 years more economical than battery with lifespan of 3 years? Let us be pratical, as far as producing electricity at the home level is concerned ONLY wind energy is cheaper and more practical than solar energy. I am not even through talking about solar panels, inverters and charge controllers, so wait till i get to batteries. I have not used a generator for the past 2 years of my life.
Do you know that as good as electricity is in the US yet solar power is thriving. These are people who can see in the long term. You are only looking at the initial cost. Do you know that even a barber with tiger generator will have to spend at least 1000 naira a day to have electricity for 12 hours, in 3years he would have N864,000. How? He would have worked 6 days in a week that is 6000 naira in a year that is N288,000 and in 3 years that is N864,000.
Half of that money will give his barbing saloon 18hrs of electricity everyday for 25 years, the only thing he will change every 3 years is his batteries which is will be a recurrent N150,000. Meaning instead of spending 288000 a year on just fueling generators, now he is only spending 50,000.

Guess what sir, IF he strictly follows best battery management practices which i will be revealing, he can use his batteries for at least 5 years (please consult google if u dont believe me on anything and take info from reliable sites such as backwoodssolar.com and the likes). Original AgM gel deep cycle batteries last as long as 10 years even with everyday use.
I will tell u y many dont enjoy their batteries when i get to that topic.

So my point remains, Solar is extremely cheap compared to generator. And as i have even said earlier MANY are spending good money in developed countries to add solar to their home supply even though they have 24 hrs of electricity, cos it is helping them cut the cost of electricity.

On this thread i tell people as it is no lies no pretending. Many have called me and when i tell them what is involved they say someone said it is cheaper somewhere i smile and advice them and let them be. Truth is solar is cheap when you can look at your economic benefits over the years and not just the initial cost as i said, spending 150,000 on batteries in 3 years and spending 864,000 on petrol in 3 years which is cheaper?
