In as much as I know that you're not privy to the details of the envoy's visit, you are very much on point in your guess.

CONGRATULATIONS to all peace loving peoples of Nigeria. The carnage visited upon the peoples of the Middle Belt and Southern Nigeria by Buhari and his Fulani marauders are about to come to an end.


With this auspicious visit, the International Community has started mounting pressures on the Chief Terrorist in Africa to relinquish power and retire to his gay cows in Daura.

#BackToDaura is a sure bet.

there's an expansion joint at every 15m of the dam 1inch, and we used polystyrene for the joint as see in the pics from work has been placed at a visible distance, the first 15m

here we go into the stage of putting in the reinforcement, as most of us might be aware, blasting would only do its job but the shape above was recreated by arranging large boulders from.the blast to fill up excess space in the foundation, no Engr would want to waste concrete there because the space is massive, however using boulders and biding them with concrete is all we did. its economical and stronger for the dam foundation

To construct a dam a diversion of the water inflow has to be done. However the presence of igneous rock very close to the ground level was another gross challenge because creating a canal that can adequately channel water away for the time being was impossible, hence the two pipes in the seen in pics above did the job
hope am not alone on this one.
the summary of the whole is that we got the space for our foundation after months, this was our a major delay.
the intake volme is not as small as you see from those small pipes, its just that we have controlled the volume at different points from the water way.
from the photo also its clear seeing steel reinforcements buried in two partly below the rock surface, that's the anchor of the dam and its buried three metre below the surface, y20dia

Penkelemesi is he a Chinese, pls can someone first throw more light on the meaning of the name
His grand father was known for the phrase, 'peculiar mess' when ever the matter of his discussion had a level of unpleasant occurrence to him. In a bid to imitate him, his followers and the public around him nicknamed him 'Penkelemesi'

from the stage of excavation was a great challenge.
guess what, it was the presence of massive igneous rock in the area of the proposed construction, averagely 1to 1.5m below the normal GL. hence our sure option was to blast the rocks, the really active work going on at this stage of the project, was surveying. surveying in the sense that we are way past preliminary survey work, the survey work to keep the project on forward move was marking points on rocks at known distance , where holes would be drilled through the rock using compressed air machine drillers for the dynamite to be buried, sure it means a separate expense for the project and awarding them to professionals, how much more was spent
The first blast did not go through so a second was done and the result was manageable

let begin with the details
the dam is a small dam by classification, 4m height
concrete dam with earth ramp.
the concrete dam is 94m long with a 15m spillway, the foundation is 2.5m deep however almost the full length of the dam is sitting on a foundation of rock. the ramp is 150m long
