Typical of some governments that just build projects from WhatsApp conversations.
No proper Design & Consultation
Lacks creativity, purpose , and utility .

Why would someone waste public funds like this ? What will this structure be used for ?? STADIUM ? No No ....

Hire professional architects, not graphics designer.
Design buildings with a purpose, aesthetically pleasing, and environmentally friendly.....

5Way Design Build will soon be unveiled......

This is so basic

PAYPAL is a racist company , that has still not changed since their early days from eBay .
They hardly verify accounts owned by black people .
They won’t accept or send payments to black nations .
And they are steady putting your account on hold if you start making multiple transactions as a black person .

I just recently deleted PayPal , never to use them again . I just hope this collaboration will mean well for Nigerians transacting online , and not another form of exploitation from another big fish ( Flutterwave guys should becareful so PayPal doesn’t kill their vision )

The idea is a great one , but I am weary of the motive , given PayPal attitude towards people of negroid background.


Just Observing !!!

Exactly , High rise construction has a lot of limitations in Nigeria . The foundation alone could cost N18M or more . You might need a tower crane, bamboo scaffold, boom lift, concrete pump , elevator lift ( A MUST ) , 2X 50KVA generator, maybe solar roof , underground parking ,etc . It will be safe to say that a budget of N100M - N180M could pull it of depends of the quality of finishes and building technology , Goodluck .

And yes, Oga Spyder has been an inspiration on here . My team at 5Way Contractors hopes to do JV's with your team in future .

5Way will book a space on NL when due ....

spyder880:


No, it cannot be calculated like that. When we talk of a high rise like a 9 storey building, a lot of other consideration comes into play. The method of construction, materials, and especially the plans needs to change to support the height of the structure. It might be much more than the amount you mentioned.

It’s Not Altogether A Bad Thing For The North To Secede From Nigeria - Adamu Garba

Former Presidential aspirant, Adamu Garba says with all that the North has going for it, it will not be a bad thing for the region to secede from Nigeria, IgbereTV reports.

In a post shared on his Twitter handle, Adamu listed the benefits the Northern region has over other regions. According to him, if the North secedes from Nigeria today, many regions in Nigeria will suffer. He added that no single person is afraid of a breakup of the country.

He pointed out that the ''hatred'' towards the Fulanis and everything North can be the greatest undoing of the secessionist groups once the North pulls out of ''the Union called Nigeria''.

Forget Ikot-Ekpene, Akwa Ibom as a whole is lovely.
From the beautiful landscape to their oil deposits.
From their variety of delicacies to their hospitality and tourism industry.
This state is bae.

The capital city boasts of the best stadium in the country, world class mall, main library e t.c.


My dream City to live in this declining country. I love AKIBM .

In as much as we love our country Nigeria . We don’t Trust the country . Anything can and has happened .
Nipost have done their best to serve us during her prime . But as everything else is decayed one the country , so is Nipost , they are not left out of the rot.

Last year August I sent 2 New iPhone XS Max plus to my small Nephew to sell in Owerri , the phones got stuck at Lagos customs , they never made it outside Lagos. I couldn’t understand what they were asking me to do when I tried to call the Nipost/Customs Tag team at the airport . I got frustrated and let the phones go .My bro thought I was lying to him , until I showed him pictures of the phones packaged and the receipt I got for mailing it .

February this year I sent 2 Samsung Galaxy Notes , this time to PH for my sister and Nephew. For where , After the package left the U.S that was the last I saw it ( track) online.

Nothing was delivered , my Nephew has been to all the Nipost office in PH - no phones .

I’ve since decided NEVER again will I ship something to Nigeria using regular mail service . It’s either I ship it in , Or I spend the extra money to use UPS, FEDEX, DHL, and their likes ......

WHich WAy NIgeria ...... 60 Years of What ??

SMH

Valentinooo:
On the 7th of March, I ordered a phone which was shipped on the 18th of March. Ever since then, nothing has been heard of it.
The memory card I intended to use with the phone was ordered two days later, and that one has since arrived.

From the lamentations on the aliexpress thread, I noticed a lot of people are also in my situation.
They bought phones which refused to deliver whereas the accessories they ordered days after ordering the phone got delivered.

This lead to the assumption that nipost staffs are deliberately holding on to these phones for reasons best known to them.

I don't want to believe these phones are being stolen by those that are meant to deliver them to us.

Why will I buy a phone with my hard earned money only for it to be stolen by people who are meant to deliver the phone?

This is corporate robbery and should be condemned.

How will a phone come all the way from China without missing only for it to get to Nigeria and get missing?

I have to create this new thread to make our plight known to the whole world.

I have also tagged those who are having this same issue.

#EDO2020: OKOROCHA HAILS EDO PEOPLE FOR VOTING AGAINST INJUSTICE

When I saw Adams Oshiomole with Hope Uzodimma Leading the campaign I knew there will be no victory for APC- Rochas said
The President, Rochas Foundation International and former Governor of IMO State, Senator Rochas Okorocha has congratulated the people of EDO for standing firmly against oppression by the dissolved executive council of the APC which led to the defection of Governor Obaseki to another party.

Okorocha insisted that some politicians have taken advantage of PMB’s honesty and patriotism to perpetuate unprovoked chaos and confusion in the party by neglecting the founding fathers of the APC stressing that he had forewarned of the catastrophe that might plaque the party urging Mr President to step-in to avert the total collapse of the APC.

He said;”It is not only PDP members that voted for Obaseki even APC members also voted for him.EDO people did not vote for APC or PDP,they voted against injustice. Edo people are not docile. They voted for justice to be done in EDO state”.[/quote]

The New Terminal Building International Wing of Enugu International Airport.

Right here is the new International wing of Enugu International Airport being constructed by Chinese company CCECC NIG LTD. This building is next to the type of building at Heathrow airport.

Here in Enugu International Airport, we have two wings currently, the old building will be converted to the local/domestic flight wing while the new building constructed by CCECC NIG LTD will be put to use as International Flight wing.

Following up removing most components on the Allroad.
Valve cover removed , cylinder heads looks good .
Removing the passenger side valve cover was a pain , it fought back so much that I broke the EGR ( Kombi) Valve stem. So I’ll order a new valve stem ..

New parts arrived so far
Gaskets, seals, belts, pulleys, WP , etc.

It’s a Work in Progress !

Audi’s are complex cars , it’s not a car for everyone . It isn’t cheap to maintain either. But if you treat it well , it will serve you .

Benz has prestige and class , but lack performance, hence AMG , mclaren’s and brabus specs.
The Benz C , E and S class models are usually compared side by side with the Audi A4 , A6, and A8 models , the results are usually impressive on the side of the Audi , but Benz wins the price contest for being too expensive.

Ofcourse Benz trucks deliver a level of class . But these are not pocket friendly models.

See pics of the Allroad progress .

Engine has been set to Top Dead Center (Cylinder 1).
Cam bar support attached to ensure proper timing.
Timing/Serpentine belt and components removed.
Water pump and thermostat removed .

Hang In tight

Audi is well known for its complex engine designs . Their engineers are able to integrate advanced mechanical , electrical ,computer, and more recent digital technologies into a 5ft x 3ft engine bay .

Their design capabilities are impeccable, but it does have a draw back in maintenance and repair situations.
Thanks to advances in engine designs, newer Audi’s are a lot easier to access the components their in.

Audi is an engineering and design wonder. It screams high tech, sophistication, class, agile and yet comfortable.

If you would buy any used Audi , please save yourself future mechanical headaches and bring the car into a shop for one or some of these maintenance steps.

Timing Belt and Serpentine Belt Replacement —— Sluggish driving
Spark Plug and Coil Pack Replacement. - Cylinder misfire ( jerking)
Valve Cover Gasket replacement —— Oil leaks
Camshaft and Crankshaft Seal Replacement —— Oil leaks
Thermostat and Water Pump Replacement — Overheating

These maintenance procedures are usually the most common repairs done to most Audi’s as reported by mechanics .

Doing any of these will help give you an almost new car, just our thoughts
