Op , you can lie how can you say the first aircraft that landed in Nigeria was in 1925 and that the oldest airline is KLM. where do you put Benin airways and Edo Airline they have been travelling for meetings since time immemorial . i believe their own average speed will be like 5000 km/Min Lol Considering doing a roof parapet? check out price comparison between a concrete cast in suite against polystyrene parapet. Polystyrene parapet is light weight and doesn't have much impact on the land. excellent usage on swampy environment. click below for more details. https://www.nairaland.com/3726763/alternative-building-material-expanded-polystyrene/4 10 Likes |
