Chekitaut:May be you will agree with me that we’re the enemy of ourselves. Nobody will fix that nation for us, matter fact if anyone of believes the western nation will help you rebuild your country you’re deceiving yourselves, they are only there to take advantage of everything you people have to make their country even better then what it’s was now. Pls take note, the repair starts with every individual in there own capacity. Many of theses young Nigerian of this day still came to the west with their indisciplined mentality of getting rich over night, If anyone coming think he or she is very smart to beat the system don’t worry they have institutions that works well here keep them behind bar for many many years. I petty the present generation and the ones yet on born in that country. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Honestly, Nigeria has no problem. I say it as someone that is moving his family into that crazy place come 2020. The issue of Nigeria is lack of patriotism. When we all go to our respective job tomorrow; just do me a favor; Don't do shady business; do that for a month. You will be amazed at the kind of happiness you will bring to your follow Nigerian's face. Thats the simple solution. The best feeling is when you encounter honest Nigerian!!! its like heaven on earth. My uncle gave his assistant extra 200$ to change for him one time. The guy realized it and brought back the excess. Till today, from that one act; my uncle is building him a house today. another example; my building supervisor does not collect a fee for his service to me. I have recommended him to many family members and he still kept his principle. Every quote he ever gave me or my people are always below what we researched. Never above our independent surveyor quantities. Therefore, we show appreciation bountifully. As an Engineer myself, i make sure he was rewarded with gift that at minimum is comparable to the pay of a supervisor. That is, we don't take him for granted!!!. My conclusion, Nigeria is not as bad as we think. But we need to do things the right way first to meet the right people. There are bad people everywhere. We need to stay away from them and prevent others from falling into their hands as well. On here; people with bad business experience will not call out the scammer; which of course, allow more people to be scammed by the same people. And this is how we got to where we are as a country of bad people. 3 Likes |

AngelicBeing: This is why l dont agree that "Religion" in itself, is the/a problem! I think it is 'WE THE PEOPLE' that are manipulating religion, for our selfish end. Imagine, One Pastor asked ladies in his church to remove their Pants and raise it up, in church, so he can bless them with a husband! Is it not obvious that such Pastor is a sex Predator who is already having orgasms, just sniffing those laden pants? There are lots of benefit from "Religion" (if practised as it should be and not used as a means for control and to fleece the ignorant), that countries like China, are yet to avail of. Havng said that, Nigeria's case is on another level. We have failed totally, as a Nation. And the "religious predators" (Pastors, Immams, G.O's, Alfas, e.t.c) are taking advantage of that. Reading your post too, l could not fail to notice that it is "the same WE THE PEOPLE" that engage in all these wicked activities, when we go to China to import goods! So, in all, it is still the 'human factor' that is responsible for our failures, not the church, not religion or lack of it. GREED is a human attribute, Religion is not. My fear is that the rot is so deeply entrenched that mere words of mouth cannot change our mentality, we might need to paint the town RED, to factory-reset our consciousness, if you get my direction. ![]() ![]() 1 Like |

yak: Thanks for your response. Difficult for me to say. It is a community library project a group is doing for a community. It was done as a DIY. It is just the prices of the materials iam interested in and not the quantity. I can benchmark the quantity later by calling for a different quote. |

I once visited this company in UK in the early 2000 in my search and researched for alternative methods of construction. Very creative and practical methodology. I'm sure the company would have expanded more and also have better technologies by now. I will check their site up again. Thanks for the update. They also have a Portable Train modal at the time bixton: 1 Like |

For those of you looking for reasons why Nigeria is where and what it is, the below photos and story is your answer: https://www.nairaland.com/4505002/kofar-ruwa-highway-cracks-kano This is a road that was recently commissioned according to the story. So the problem is not religion, tribe or even corruption. Corruption is a symptom, not the cause. The bane of Nigeria and Nigerians is not doing things properly. Do one is one and then move on to the next problem. If we build facilities that would stand the test of time, before you know it we would have it all covered as a nation. Even here I see such approach with our projects. We want to do the berest minimum and cut corners. Build today, spoil tomorrow, at the end, we go just dey prambulate and still dey same same place. So if you are a builder; build well. If you are a minister, minister well. If you are a commissioner, commission well If you are a president, preside well. If you are a parent, parent well. If you are a home owner, own well and we would be fine as a nation.
