Properties / Re: What Is The Idea Behind These High Roofs? (Photo) by yemmy0074(m): 6:03pm On Jan 23
matify83:
Thanks for bringing this to public discuss.

I have always had my reservations for this trend which is fast gaining popularity.

Firstly, the assertion of improvement in water run off does not hold water. A 45 degree slope is enough evacuate any amount of precipitation.

The idea may have started from people copying western designs without configuring them to our climate.
The high roof creates space for the attic which "oyibo" people also use as living spaces. But in our clime, you would fry to death because of the heat up there.

Some have adduced that it makes the house cooler. This is another misconception because simple physics should tell them that the larger surface area of roofing tiles or aluminium exposed to the sun increases the convection of heat into the living spaces.

More worrisome is the addition of cornices or parapet which prevents the roof from breathing thereby trapping tremendous heat in the attic and by extension the living spaces below.

Visiting old institutions built during the colonial era, you will marvel at how passive those design were and are liveable even without artificial cooling e.g UI main library, UCH main structures, ABH.

In a nut shell, increasing floor to ceiling height with clerestory Windows is more tropical oriented than the miss-fit we are discussing.

God bless you for these insights. I've always had my reservations about these high roofs

Hello all,

Finally went for capturing today at ikoyi office.
I got there around 10:30am, Immediately I was approached by these two minutes passport guys, I asked them if there would be need for any since capturing will he done and dey ended up convincing me on how I need at least 4 copies of white background passport, He collected 800 after much bargain for 8 copies, after which he started stories of how he know an officer with one eagle and one star that can help me and I will get it in two days. I told him I have already made payment but he still went on to tell me how online application will delay and the need for me to fastrack with his one eagle one star officer. I gave him a stern look and he just jejely left me alone.

I got to the gate and when I was asked what I came for, I told them I'm going to servicom office. Immediately he heard servicom he let me in with proper direction on how to get there.
At the front dest of servicom office I met the gentle looking vibrant officer adamu, immediately i saw his tag his name rang a bell, he aske what I came for and I explained to him, he asked for my documents, arranged them for me in a brown file signed and stapled what needs to be stapled and directed me on how to go about it.

Immediately I enter the long room, I noticed everyone else had white files while I was the only one with brown file and without intoducing myself all the officers started calling me servicom. I was shock when even senior immigration officers started using sir for me, then I realized I was holding a starboy file.
The whole process took less than 40mins including capturing and I was told to come back in two weeks for the passport.

DIY is the way

Hello guys,
@oggg and others
I started the whole process today following guidelines from here and it has been really helpful. I already made payment and I was given 12th January as the interview date at ikoyi. I honestly need this passport before January 20th, Is there any way I can go for capturing before the interview date.

P.S I heared something about text messages and emails. Am I supposed to get one before the slated interview date?

Any info concerning this will help alot. Thnks in advance

Phones / Re: Which Network Provider Has The Worst Customer Service? by yemmy0074(m): 3:55pm On Aug 09, 2016
johnshagb:
I Have one major line which is MTN. I don't know about others but their customer service is horrible.

My last experience with the thieving network:

I got this text from MTN ''You are a member of VIP class service (Subscription:N100/day) To opt out, Text STOP to 38427"
You know my biggest mistake? I didn't text "stop" to 38427. That was how I was enrolled automatically angry
Few days later, I realized they've been tampering with my airtime on a daily basis.

I recharged #400 checked my balance and met #300 I called customer care immediately to pour in my anger:

After 30 minutes a lady picked

Agent: Yello this is mtn what's your complaint?
Me: I recharged few minutes ago and #100 was deducted without any notification to that effect. What's going on?
Agent: Okay sir, let me check your account on our system

.....After waiting for like 10minutes, she dropped the call...

I called the second time

Agent : Yello this is mtn what's your complaint?
Me: I narrated my story again
Agent: Give me few minutes sir

....After 5 minutes she came back saying she cant access my accounts now and i would have to call back. Then I snapped...

Me : Have you checked your fraudulent promo you guys enrolled me in unknown to me? with the number 38427
Agent : Oh, we are sorry sir, that seems to be the problem. We apologize for any inconvenience that might have caused you.
Me : Remove my number from the promo now and stop enrolling people to services they didn't request for
Agent : You have been removed sir. Check you phone for the sms. Thank you for using mtn
Me: Thank you for stealing my money mf angry (In my mind)

I agree with the op on all her points except for geology......geology is a better paying course if you don't look at it from the "I want to work in an oil company" perspective. The op's statement on geology is only made valid because of our youths crave oil company jobs..........

I am aspiring to study geology in UI this year and I pray DAT Jehovah in his infinite mercy grant me success....
