Living in Nigeria alone is detrimental to your health so what are you saying again. About the disease, nothing has been proved. As long as our white genius has not been able to prove it then it doesn't cause anything. Collect d deal or I go swear for you oooo.

I will tell my dad to discuss with them on the possible health risks, maybe they might educate him on it

holuwajobar:
Let me be straight forward, I got a call from home (I'm in school), i was told that network providers want to use a part of the compound for erection of their mast. The deal is, 15 years agreement but they are ready to pay 4m-5m for the first 5 years of agreement.

Yeah, the agreement is juicy, but my concern is that, health wise, is it advisable to have a mast near a house?

If the health risk is high, i will tell my dad about the complications before he consider the offer.

Thanks

There are lots of misconceptions about the effects of telecom masts to human health.
So if you must, try reading several(s) articles online about it. Though there are conflicting views online.

I was watching BBC yesterday and someone was saying there's a pattern people use mobile phones that will cause a "horn like" stuff to grow at the back of the head. Some agree and some don't.

We have been told that mobile phones cause a lot of things to human health. People have up to 3 phones in their pockets and are not yet impotent or sterile.

Do you know the amount of EMF radiation you are being exposed to We are talking about high frequency radiation not the lower microwave radiation.. Your cells react to EMF radiation which alters their DNA structure increasing death of cells and formation of cancer cells in the organs.. Why do you hear about high rate of cancer in U.S some states allowed telecom giants to put this telemast among city dwellers. But now after the people found out and sued the U.S govt such towers in remote areas far away from the city, why Because they know how harmful it will be in the long run.

How much for cancer treatment compared to what he will gain?

Ask your DAD if it's

IHS or ATC or GLO

if it's IHS,your DAD should negotiate up to 1.5M per year..

if it's ATC,those guys are the "oil money* of telecommunications in naija,,he should negotiate smetn higher like 3M per year..

but if it's GLO,,, I don't knw ooooo...Lolzz

Arysexy:
Ask yourself this question. Placing Ur phone(receiver) in Ur pocket is considered dangerous because of effect of electromagnetic waves on Ur scrotum. Remember the mast (transmitter) is far away.

Now imagine you staying in the (transmitter) right of way 24/7. If the antenna radiating the waves are facing your house, remember the wave is dispersed in hyperbolic form, so even if u are under d mast, u r under the influence of the wave. Just imagine what you will expose yourself 24/7 in d next 15yrs just for 4m. If you and your brothers become impotent in the future, blame your father.

Masts are meant to be sighted on mountain tops for easy reach and outside d vicinity of homes.

To be fore warned is to be fore armed. A friend did his master's thesis on the effects of electromagnetic radiation on humans and the result was eye opening

Thank you sir.

Wow may this kind of blessing locate me and my family in Jesus name... Amen..
A family compound close to where I live with about 6 flats and 2 stores belonging to family members ve a mast in it and the lister there powers all the houses+stores there 24/7.

Evangkatsoulis:


Wetin dey for erect before?

My brother, technology has evolved..back then we used to have very wide dish so we can be able to watch satellite TVs, nowadays it's just a small accessory on top of your roof and you enjoy a good visual.
Likewise...you no longer need to erect mast for telecommunication purposes...

Evangkatsoulis:

It depends on what type/degree of cancer you're talking about.
On a general note, it does not have a treatment.

Yeah, i have been reading up some articles online. WHO said there is no scientific proof if it causes any cancer. Some site said it causes leukemia and sleeping disorder.

Thanks for your input sir

RexTramadol1:

Nothing we no go see for Naija ooooo




See another hustle....

na so na,man must wak o

holuwajobar:


Why is his post not accurate?

Cancers, lung diseases, sleep disorders, physical disabilities... Saying these are part of risk associated with erection of mast/towers is absolutely untrue.

Non-ionising radiation are not cancer building but Ionising Radiation used in hospitals and Medical Labs.

sleep disorders only emanate from the sound of working Diesel Generator. This could only be possible if the power solution provided on site is inefficient. There are solar systems on site, backup Nickel Batteries on site.. these are in place in order to reduce run hour of generators, reduce air pollution from Generator fumes, reduce cost of buying Diesel, reduce the possibility of land contamination from oil spill on site.

IHS handles mast concerning Etisalat,MTN and in rare cases Airtel tenants...

MTN and Etisalat can hold IHS bills eeeehhhhh


but ATC handles ONLY AIRTEL masts and AIRTEL tenant..And AIRTEL dey pay even before time to ATC in a juicy way...Lolzz


your DAD should be smart about this negotiation!
because if he gets it wrong the first time,there be no room for renegotiation even after the contract expires and ONLY option d guys from #Site built dept## will cling to is to get another bidder!!!


##Be wise!!!

you have already made up Ur mind.....enjoy man.

Groovenaija360:
Not a good idea at all

Forget about tapping light and the money they paid

You are receiving doses of Ionizing Radiation

That's not true, no known health hazard from erecting base stations near you...the agreement should just include using noice proofs in their DG, that way no noice from generator

Post credible links to your post.

First of all, 5million for 5 years is terrible, pls find out what you truly should be paid. Secondly, make sure as part of the agreement that your family is given the diesel supply contract for the generators, thirdly, make sure you get power supply from the generator to your home(though this is not compulsory, but can be done through kind negotiation), all these advise is from experience, I have seen Telecom mast hosts who have them all. As for the health hazard, it is true that there is radiation, this is common science, all the rays that travel to the mast from users build up in the sorounding receivers to form a radiation cloud, but if the mast is high enough then you don't have to worry because it disperses before it can get to you below. Cheers.

I will all give you feedback on any new development

Skyfornia:
Hmm...are they still erecting mast in this age?? Nigeria is truly a shithole.

What do you expect? Its either on top of a high-rise buildings, hill or mast. How many high-rise buildings or hills are available at the most suitable locations for network equipment in Nigeria?

You should complain more for the fact that Nigerian network providers rely up to 90% on generators in this time and age.

dos wey dey use am tey tey nor die.Dem nor carry sickness/disease about.instead,they live well,enjoyed 24 all round light.Let one neighbor scam u off dis opportunity. Abeg,wey Ur area dey,i fit knw person wey go grab am.

Okay sir.... The house is a bungalow, so i think the mast will be high enough...

The EMF/RF radiation from Telephone towers are pulsated on the diverse frequency spectrum. And cancer cells vibrate and are activated at 20,000 Hz. There are other radiation disadvantages like stress signals in the environment, migraine headaches and even demonic attacks based on exposure to harmonics which synchronizes the with the brainwaves leading to sympathetic harmonics, and sometimes when the brainwaves are synced to certain frequencies, portals are opened and closed for interdimensional entities to pass through. Each vibration has its tone, and each tone creates the corresponding effect and materializes them in the presence of spirit.

Telephone mast might be very advantageous to our civilization as species, but it not advisable to live near one permanently, if you must live near a telephone mast, then you have to design a faraday cage to insulate yourself from the radiation from the different frequency systems that are hooked to the mast by different companies who do not really care about your health.

My answer is NO DEAL.

But if you believe that your life is worth less than 10m naira, then you can ahead and sell our life for the money, cos eventually, you will know that it is not worth it. But if you can take the money and buy someplace else to live in, it could be a good business. You can actually make your home a faraday cage and insulate your rooms against radiation.

Do not take advise from the very many ignorant people on this forum. The majority is not always right, especially if the majority are as ignorant as most Nigerians are about Science and Technology.

SultanOfAbia:
DO NOT ALLOW THEM I REPEAT DO NOT!!!
THOSE TELE TOWERS EMITS ELECTROMAGNETIC FREQUENCY RADIATION THAT HAS BEEN PROVEN TO CAUSE CANCER.. YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS AT HIGH RISK IN THE LONG RUN YOU WILL SOON SEE HOW SICK PEOPLE WILL BE... EVEN SOVIET MILITARY USED EMF RADIATION AS COLD WAR ESPIONAGE WEAPON USED AGAINST THE US AMBASSADOR WHICH RESULTED IN HIS DEATH BY CANCER.. GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND DO YOUR REASEARCH YOU WILL SEE HOW DANGEROUS IT IS TO LIVE CLOSE TO THOSE TELECAST TOWERS

Shut up all this uninformed educated illiterates that spread wrong information. Do you even know what is an electromagnetic radiation or you just want to hear your voice? Is it gamma rays that the mast is producing? If it were hazardous, no one would even be allowed to mount any mast anywhere and the ones you pass on the road should have killed you by now.
You should throw away your phone also because it is emitting electromagnetic radiation kwa.

holuwajobar:

Make sure you get the diesel supply contract and make sure you get connected to the power supply. These in the long run will prove more profitable to your family than even the contract money.

Don't you put your mobile phone in your pocket same as others?

How many persons have complained about such even though some health activists claim it does?

Ogbeni they don't need highrise building or mountain...perhaps the telecommunication company is Glo or those small companies offering wifi services. I'm sure MTN has stopped erecting masts..all you need is an improved portable network equipment with great potency...even a button-like gadget worn on your shirt can provide a whole village with good network reception.

Lexusgs430:



And spread radiation diseases to you and your neighbours.......

On the flip side, your signal go sharp wella...... Just buy the networks sim......

It's a perceived fear, but who I be to contest this perception.........

Actually the signal might be worse when you’re directly under the mast.

Did you just open this account to write all this?

If I'm not mistaken, don't you know building a faraday cage enveloping the house will not allow them to receive phone calls ?

Run for your dear life, the mast emits low radiation heat that have have long term health effect also the noise pollution of the generating set also has its long term effect. The worst case is there is no telling the damage it can do to the body that can even be passed to urborn child as it modifies the body structure.
