But they are structures that can be put in flat roofs to drain water from it.

geezville86:
Trust me, a flat roof has a higher propensity to attract serious problems that may require a lot of cash to fix, when compared with a slanted/sloping roof. For instance, there’s a higher chance for water to pool on a flat roof if not done right, which could weaken the structure over a period of time, and increase its susceptibility to leak, while the slanted roof would normally drain quicker/more efficiently. If you’ve got deep pockets and the mind to withstand the sudden shock that comes with maintaining a flat roof, then by all means go for it. Otherwise, me I go humbly respect myself under this tinubu government and go with a slanted roof

There is heat here too na! That is why we use high roofs here in Nigeria.

Lifemanage:

Says who......leave the waste of materials in Nigeria. High roofs abroad is for attics and heat generation. I wonder why we love wasting resources in this country.

Flat roofs leak too?

nwirinedu:


Not true. It's when you employ an incompetent carpenter to mount your roof, note that leaking errors are easier to fix in high roofs, than in flat roofs.

What do you mean by attic?

So which roof do you recommend?

GloriousGbola:
the sloped roof is a complete waste of money and has no purpose in tropical countries. it is the result of people doing copy and paste of western buildings. what is called rote learning - where you imitate without understanding

a sloping roof will ensure that snow will either slide down or be easily pushed down. on a flat or close to flat roof, snow will collect until the weight can make the roof members collapse. we do not have that problem in nigeria as it does not snow here

those roofs have no place here and are a waste of money. they are also more trouble than they are worth because carpenters can easly fk them up.

however, because they cost more artisans and architects are likely to promote them to clients as they mean more money

as nigerans are obsessed with meaningless status symbols, they will also buy into the hype of building a big man house

let no one fuud you with bs about this roofs failures are easier to detect

these are teh two roofs - which is more complex and therefore more prone to failure?

what is even worse is that because nigeria is a tropical country, all that space above the ceiling is wasted. abroad it would be used as an attic, but in nigeria that area would be a massive heat ink and unusable

Someone here said the sloppy roof will suffer leakage, leading to spending money on maintenance.

bergs2:
Sloppy roof type.

Pros:
Low water retention
Low heat penetration as space in between is large
Contains more space for accessories like solar panels, water collectors, etc
In-between space could serve as storage unit.
Low long term maintenance cost
Noise cancellation effect

Cons:
High initial installation cost.
House looks bulky


Flat roof:

Pros.
Low initial installation cost
Better outlook and less bulky building

Cons.
High long term maintenance cost as Air conditioners are needed.
High water retention
High heat penetration
High noise effect as space/vacuum in-between very small.

Honestly, I made the high sloppy roof choice, even though it costs like x4 the installation cost unlike the flat roof type.

Will the sloppy one not leak too?

Your first explanation on solar, i dont understand what you saying there.

mignone:
None is actually better than d other. Preferences differ.
However, to me,
Design 1: charging solar power will be influenced by d direction of sunrise and sunset, esp periods when there's neither rain nor sunshine while 2 may require occasional repairs during raining seasons due to leaks.

Pls, what is the meaning of units in housing?

Zionmdde:
Housing units are good ooo

But after groundbreaking and making news, we don't get to hear anything again. They will now pocket the funds

I have not seen any of them completed and people moving in. And as Nigerians, we don't get to ask these questions

How do one subscribe to showmax?
Is it an app?

Neduzoma123456:
Showmax is far better than Netflix.

I can't believe, I'm watching latest movies, BBN and even premier league for a very cheap price... This is too Good.

Bye bye to Netflix and even Dstv.

No damage sha. But i think bad water cause typhoid.

lailo:

Anytime I fall sick, I usually treat malaria and typhoid and I will be OK. Any damage the borehole water would have been doing to me?

I nor understand dis your table.
I want to ask, will there be eviction this coming Sunday?

Titaniumental:

The Netflix and showmax, is it only "LIVE SHOWS" they provide? Do they include other things that are not live?

Neduzoma123456:


Netflix is even 7k per month.

Rubbish.

Go for showmax instead... If you are only interested in Shows and Movies with BBN.

Showmax is #1,600 for that package.

Thanks so much.

Lifemanage:

For a start, it is good. Talking from experience. Later, u can isolate URS...also U can use one half of a plot for tenancy, another half for personal separable with a fence

You fall sick sometimes? You suspect the water?

lailo:

I just drink like that. I think most people in the community too. Anyway I wouldn't know what they do in their homes. And we seldom fall sick.

Thanks so much.

YeyeGbami:


Morning boss, they usually have what they call undertaking in each axis. Their staffs dey there.

Its a business agreement between federal government and security operatives. Insecurity is use for cashing out. Since i knew this, i dont disturb myself anymore about it.

Zico5:
Despite the presence of CDS and minister for defence with major security chiefs, these people still have guts to block the road and kidnap. Something needs to be done urgently. These kidnappers are not operating alone. Something is fishy somewhere.

You are trying oh. I even thought it was your own personal house, that's why you got the courage to drink it.
Do you do anything before drinking? Some people say they usually boil their own.

lailo:

Rented apartment

That means you saying that one should build his personal house together with apartments for rent in one land. Am i right?

Lifemanage:

Build a personal house eg 3bed and maybe some flats on a plot...is a source of yearly income

When you talk about phcn outlet, what do you mean?
Goodmorning.

YeyeGbami:


You apply to get it on your disco webpage, or walk in to your phcn outlet in your area.

Hmm!
Dis is deep. Food for thought.
Thanks alot.

Calitoscassius:
How is the water treated? Treated with what? Did you witness it when and where the water was treated?

Since i was 18yrs, i only drink tap water.

1Sharon:


Is it safe to drink?

Wow.
Thanks alot.

integrity16:


Yes, in the case of Sancho, the man united player; They wanted an outright sale to Chelsea but Chelsea insisted they wanted him on loan so after back and forth it was agreed by both parties that a clause be inserted should incase he performs well, Chelsea would buy him but if not, he would return to man united when the loan contract ends.

What do you mean by this comment. I Dont seem to understand it.

Lifemanage:

Personal houses with allowance for rental spaces or apartments are assets

Hello.
Where do one usually go to purchase this prepaid meter?

YeyeGbami:


Hehe na naija factor o, you fit pay make dem tell you say no meter available for months.

But the water is treated nah. How is it full with sewge waste?

Calitoscassius:
Naigerian "pure water" eeeww! Full with all kinda sewage waste. If you doubt it go run that shit under a microscope or test it in a lab. You wouldn't believe your eyes.

Why is wrong with Nigeria borehole water?

1Sharon:


Nope. Tap water in the UK is safe to drink. In Nigeria nobody is advised to drink tap water

Where do they sell the test?

dontbothermuch:
I bought pure water in portharcourt, top shield. I had to test it with ph reagent liquid. It goes real blue very perfect.

You drink well water?

alpharoyalty:
Fetch tap or well water, boil it, allow it cool and drink.
You will be fine.

I want to understand something.
Can you call chicken republic restaurant a roadside food?
What is the definition of "roadside" in terms of food?

onlinestaff247:


You have serious low immune system, compared to us that drink rain water, well water, sachet water, borehole water and tap water.

Less I forget, we eat all roadside food from any restaurant, mama put or those women pushing their wheelbarrow with their food ware.

We still dey kampe.

You drink from tap directly?
Is it ur house you built or a rented apartment?

lailo:
These guys are funny . Wey money to even buy the pure water self.
All the comments above shows I'm the only one in Nigeria still drinking from borehole directly

Can u explain more on this. Plz?

Pythagoras001:
Tackle money laundry simple as abc. When people can't spend unexplained wealth then the idea of kidnapping becomes less attractive. Ransom money could be easily chipped and wait till when the need to launder the money.
