Meanwhile, why throw away good money buying expensive door alarms when you can get creative. You can always set you door alarm and sleep, if any burglar tries to open your door at night, the crash will wake you up grin

Please what is the difference between the damache/swisstrade doors and the Turkish doors available in the market or being advertised here. Are they of the same quality? Are their differences in quality? The damache/Swiss trade doors seems very pricey. Can I get same quality elsewhere at a more affordable price? Thanks

We used this 'alarm' in the boarding house to protect our geisha and blue band magarine. Very effective I tell you.

Well, options are plentiful in the east. With so many other locally made cables competing for market, Coleman is not too popular around here. They have ;

Cutix
Cometstar
Geoelis
Scan

Plus another dozen or so names being made in the east. The problem is that they may have started faking the popular names like Cutix and Cometstar. I will be very careful when buying more stock of cables.

Dozen or so ke? You're mistaken Boss. We have only about 20 or so cable manufactureres nationwide and the bulk of them are located in the West.
Cutix , Geoelis, Scan and one other brand I cannot remember right now are the only cable manufactures in the east to the best of my knowledge. Most of the others you see Like CDivine and co are imported, even tho they are branded "Nigeria Wire" , they have no manufacturing plant here.

Market penetration of the eastern brands is not as high as it should be, Considering the small number of manufacturers relative to the large market there. Most sellers prefer to stock the cheaper imported brands that give them higher turnovers . For every coil of local brand sold, there's probably ten times more of the imported alternative sold.

You're very right about COLEMAN not being so popluar there, the eastern brands are still managing to gain grounds.

However, There are requirements for which COLEMAN is the only local option.
For instance COLEMAN is currently the only local brand that manufactures:
-RG - 5/6 Coaxial Cables (TV wire)
-CAT 5/6/6e Cables ,
-Marine Cables,
-And the first to manufacture XLPE high voltage cables in West Africa. (Currently not being done by any other company in Nigeria)
Plus a number of other speciality cables.

They are the largest Cable Manufactuter in West Africa both Volume & Variety wise.

@allCopacetic. I agree with you there. Most associations in Nigeria are just another avenue for bribery and corruption to fester. Until we have real checks and balances in this country, corruption and greed will continue to be a problem. Every individual in 9ja is a government unto his/herself-We build with our cash(with little or no access to credit facilities), we are our own NEPA(generator), and water corporation(borehole). Even our politicians that do the minimum and build subpar roads want us to hail them as gods.
Absolutely

Exactly, but I think we should start first by shooting the ritual murderers whose name always begin with "Tunji something" I even think their own greed is worse, butchering humans in cold blood and vandalizing the spare parts as a result of their get-rich-or-die-trying attitude?


Who gives a flying f*ck whether you shoot / burn ritual killers or kidnappers whose name sounds like Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike a.k.a Evans the kidnapper or why are you suddenly 'pained' by my suggestion?

Whether it is 'baby-factory', or producing fake pharmaceutical drugs or being beheaded daily in China, South Africa, Bangladesh, Singapore and other Asian countries for swallowing Cocain or counterfeiting vehicle spare parts or stealing the intellectual property rights of Artists (Video/Audio) or Armed Robbery, just name it!

Boss, you have already taken the bait by responding to the poster. She is a very popular tribal warlord in politics section.
I was surprised when I first saw her comment on property section and I commented on the thread getting heated up.

Hello, please i need opinions on this crazy idea of mine.

I have to sandfill a plot of land beside a river, the soil is terrible and gets swampy at times.

For the first layer of fill, i intend to use some sharp sand from the river properly tied in sacks to achieve about 500mm layer.

What do you guys think

[quote author=allCopacetic post=66462134]
I believe Tackling from the source should start from not letting the items get through the ports in the first place. and stopping its sale or distribution if for any reason it slips through the ports.This is possible only when we have Institutions that work.

From the Govt , to Customs, to SON ..all are complicit .
SON is stationed at the ports, SON visits Alaba weekly. Yet the market is flooded, how do you explain that. If institutions work it wouldn't matter how greedy importers are ... you simply cannot perpetrate your fraud.


Greed has no tribe or colour .
95% of electrical importation is done by Ibos , by Implication both the best and worst goods will come from that pool.
Don't forget that even the good items available in the market are Imported and sold by Ezesomethings too, not Abubakars or Oluseguns. And the facilitators at SON and co are not Ezesomethings

What do you guys think

There's a kind of black mud gotten from mangrove sites, you can use that to fill your >500mm allow to stabilize and back fill again with sharp sand. Guess you don't intend planning on using the land soon.

Ur cup of garri
If u didn't like that statement u can hang transformer..
What brought that statement is that

He said he can't gamble with his 1.5m
So am the one to gamble with materials worth 1.5m?

Oga if u can't resolve matter just keep ur mouth shout..
If dangote keep delivery his products without payment he will become Number 1 richest in Africa?

I showed off myself as if I force you to patronize me..

I still repeat who 1.5m Epp sef..
You remind me of cityhood.... LOUD, & GARRULOUS with an exaggerated sense of relevance.

I wouldnt trust you with a cent of My Money even if you have worked for sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed himself.
If you're arrogant and foolish enough to be this openly abusive, then It no longer matters how many million reviews you have coaxed out of previous customers.

The true test of integrity will come when things go south and you have to choose between your customer's interest and yours. Not all this I supplied N100m without meeting the customer in person.Thats nothing special except to a fraud. It is going out of your way to do the right that sets you apart.

Nobody is asking you to agree to conditions you are not comfortable with in the first place , what they're telling you to do is have the commonsense to decline politely and engage courteously. Instead of coming here talking nonsense like some street urchin.
How many 1.5m have you spent lately.

EPP is a colloquial shortening for help.

QAP is OAP which is On Air Personality.
