Fhemmmy: Let me use this medium to pre-order a 64GB blackberry playbook from Sir Fhemmmy. When should I be expecting my package? |

brabus: I wont be able to get you a SIM Enabled and sorry to hear that the last one was stolen . . . Brand New or Used? Though brand new now is like take out the teeth of a lion that is hungry cos RIMs aint making them anymore |

Fhemmmy: I have a MiFi device so the sim-enabled version wont matter again. Afterall, it cant even make calls. I'll suggest you give a calf to the lion in exchange for a teeth. Let's get a brand new one out-of-box. |

Project Update Cutting corners is a common practice in Nigeria, with developers and builders keen to reduce construction costs, often at the expense of the structural integrity/safety of the building. It is often in the places that can not be seen that these corners are cut. In this project, we are adhering to the highest possible international construction standards. A lot have happened since I left the site on Saturday. Here are the milestones achieved already: Plastering of the Parapet - fully completed. Plastering of the Decking - fully completed Plastering of the Staircase - Completed Mechanical Final Fix - We have completed works on all the interior and exterior plumbing works for the Chateau and a pressure test (using test bucket) will be carried out tomorrow to check for leakages before we cover it up. We can't be too sure. Its professional to check everything over and over again. Electrical wiring - All of the electrical wiring (including low voltage, TV, data/voice) for the Chateau (upper floor, ground floor, exterior security lights, grave site) have been completed in preparation for the POP ceiling to be fitted and rendering of the walls. Here's another scary area where developers and builders cut corners in Nigeria. |
