Does this happen only to the wall that is very close to the perimeter fence or on all the walls? YES, IT AFFECTD ONLY THE WALL THAT IS VERY CLOSE TO THE DWARF PERIMTER FENCE. ATTACHED IS THE IMAGE OF THE AFFECTED WALLS FOR YOUR PERUSE if it is on all the walls then the foundation was not built properly, my guess is that you did not do the proper German floor. IT'S NOT DAMPNESS AS A RESULT OF DEFECT IN DPM OR DPC BUT RATHER WATER ACCUMULATING WITHIN THE HOLLOWS OF THE SANDCRETE BLOCKS (OF THE DWARF FENCE) WHICH IS PARALLEL WITH THE SITTING ROOM WALL Thank you for your prompt response.

kemiole: Can you attach a photo of the dwarf wall vis a vis the external house wall? I'm just wondering how an external wall (dwarf or tall) can cause this much damage internally. It is possible your roof is leaking. Is the dwarf wall in contact with the external wall of the house? If no, like you previously said, then how is the water transmitted to the internal wall if your DPC (German floor) is holding up like you said? You may have a leaking roof. It is possible rain water is finding a way into the blocks' cavity. Or you have breached your German floor at that point by sand filling above the DPC. This is a common feature of damp homes. Check if you have sandfill above your DPC but with the widespread of the damp you showed, I will guess it's a leaking roof. 1 Like |

kopell: Se NYU wa keere ni? I get excited when I hear/see kids of Nigerian immigrants doing well because that is proof of what our people can achieve, given the right environment. Plus you know you will never have to chase or beg anyone to give your child admission or a job or any other advantage. America rewards talent and all we need to do is set them on the right path to eat the good of the land. 7 Likes |

EgunMogaji2: So doings full dis thread like dis ![]() These posts give me great joy. We immigrants sacrifice when we leave the known, the familiar, to another land. So, if a person has children, the greatest gift is to see those kids do well and make us proud. That is when it all truly comes together. You should hear me cheering loudly anytime I’m at a convocation/graduation. Irrespective of the education level and whether or not I know the child; when I hear a Naija name, I am screaming because I know what it takes to raise these kids right. Well done, Sir! 14 Likes |

sonnie10: Maximum Respect. While I haven't commented on this debate, I have been privileged to see both sides of the divide. Sometimes one just needs to make a statement. Some make it with their car, their house, their education, their mate or even their kids. And that statement made after someone has written you off is known to shut down tongues and leave many bewildered. At other times the joy of knowing that you have and can flaunt it if need be, even though you have chosen to be low key knows absolutely no bounds. Once more congratulations. 9 Likes |

MMotimo:That same year 25 of them from different families in our community graduated from top universities here, to mention a few MIT, STANDFORD, JOHN HOPHKINS, CORNELL, DELOITTE, AND DUKE. Nigerian kids are among if not more educated in terms of higher degrees today. Their siblings maintain the tempo as well. We as parents don't have money to give them, one thing we owe them is good upbring and education 10 Likes |

Nero2424: But those LASU/ABSU graduates will still do very well if/when they get to the abroad. The amount of Nigerian born immigrants that are leaders in corporate and political world is staggering. There’s something fundamentally wrong with our processes in Nigeria. The sad part is that it can be so easily corrected. 4 Likes 1 Share |
