If you guys are ready to pay for a hosting, I can install and configure a forum with superb control, good GUI and better control of posts for free.

Oga Spyder880, yes this is getting unnecessarily out of hand and it shouldn't have.

I have read comments here people saying apologize to who? Who gives a hoot about an apology? Speaking for myself, I care less about that.

I don't believe no one was expecting the davodguy to roll on the floor and throw his hands up in the air asking for apology.

If you go back to how this started, the meaning of his posts could go both ways depending on individual reading it.

It makes one wonder , what his original intentions were? If someone think there message is being misunderstood, what stops them from chiming in and say, aye folks I don't know where this is heading but this weren't my intention, I was just trying to bring to everyone attention to be careful out there regardless of the tribe you are dealing with.

Some people might call this an apology, some might say it is a clarification of one's position. Either way, this would have ended long before it started and issuing a clarifying message is not unusual in this climate to make sure your message wasn't distorted or misunderstood.

Using a good hosting like a2hosting.com is as attached in the image plus domain name (.com) registration of $14.95.

For web4africa, domain (.com.ng) is ₦1600 while hosting is ₦600 to ₦4,500 per month depending on choice.

A2hosting will be faster in page loading compared to web4africa especially when much people are trying to access the site simultaneously. A2hosting will also be easier to setup forum as they have lesser restrictions on server side scripting modules (php functions) that can be loaded out of the box.

I have referenced the above post for us to get a better perspective of the current situation to resolve the issue and have some normalcy again.

When buying tiles, ensure you do the measurements accurately with your tiler and also ensure proper conversion from sqm to cartons and lastly if possible, after agreeing price with supplier, go with your tiler when going for pickup.

I just got swindled of 90+ cartons costing over ₦130,000.

Lesson learned.

I know all tribes in Nigeria have bad people, but we need to be wary of some particular ones.

When I bought cables from them, it's the same thing until I stood my ground.

When I bought conduit pipes from them, it's same thing. They sold fake 20mm at the price of original 20mm Dignity pipes. I stood my ground and returned all pipes

Now it's tiles from Orile.
This criminally minded Patrick Ebere knew what he did, smuggled all the tiles in the truck before my arrival to make U turn to the other side.

It’s depends where the hosting is coming from. It’s annoying for these guys came from only God knows to disturb our peace ✌️ here. This section is the most respected section for mature intellectuals professionals shared their ideas practically with us. This section is practical oriented institute to us. I hope you guys understand that.

I suspect that the traffic that nonsense fracases like this gets increases his bottom line.

Kaduna1stson:
I suggest that this thread be closed because of tribal related violence. You guys are here still talking business and encouraging ethnic profiling. I am a northerner but we must be Frank with the truth at every level. I support all the people talking of an apology, the ghosts of ethnic profiling will continue to hover over this thread till a proper apology is given.

jedisco:


The post you referenced was one the young man had edited. ...


Abroad where he says he's coming from, if such statements are made in reference to him as a Nigerian or a black man, he would rightly regard it as racial profiling or racism. But the little man is here playing ostrich.

There's a difference between being matured and being a baby. I don't need an apology but if he saw the need to edit his post, that means he knows he erred. Maturity is being a bigger man and owning up to ones faults. We all make mistakes.

My point is simple- what's wrong is wrong and there's no excusing it. You were duped by one person does not mean you drag a whole ethnicity into it.

We went to school and studied English Comprehension for a reason. Davidoguy or (whatever his handle is) labelled Igbo traders as habitual scammers. It is called deductive reasoning. While we call for truce, let's not try to downplay his insult which was loud and clear.
My position remains that he needs to work on himself and fix whatever is troubling his personal life.

. . . he has not done or said anything wrong.

If the matter touch you and you are feeling guilty, change your ways

Shut your dirty mouth, you are not a Northerner, just another Troll using multiple I.D's to waste your own time here.
All of you using multiple I.D's to post rubbish here, can cry from today till tomorrow, you wont get any apology because You are Nobody.

@Davodyguy did not insult any Igbo person, he even said specifically that "ALL TRIBES have criminals among them" and why you guys think ALL TRIBES mean Igbo tribe, is best understood by yourselves?!.
I am still looking for the word "Igbo", in his post and until someone shows me, they can point fingers at themselves, if they feel guilty.
You cant bully him into making an apology, when he has not done or said anything wrong.

If the matter touch you and you are feeling guilty, change your ways

Please keep posting all your nonsense, it wont stop anyone from asking or answering questions about building.
The joke is on you and your nuisance value.
After all your insults on other tribes, did you hear anyone of them fighting you or asking you to Apologise?

The Motto of Guardian Newspaper says: Conscience is an Open wound.
Ofcourse, if you are guilty, you will always be afraid, even when no one is chasing you.

Oga David have subtly edited his post.
To some people defending him that nothing is wrong with his original post why did he edit it.
Mr David did not handle the situation well, he would have come out to readdress the forum and point out that he has edited the previous post.
For the apology aspect, davodyguy should apologize to Igbo nation for making such a demeaning and derogatory remarks on them.

Attached is the original post of davodyguy, it reeks of tribalism and everything is wrong with that post.

From the principles of deduction and induction reasoning, following his first statement even an idiot will see the shading of Igbo nation unless the person feigned ignorant or he is a hypocrite.

Davodyguy should do the needful.

Nero2424:


It's obvious the same person is trolling with different accounts, you can tell if you read all his post closely.

His Nobody! his nobody!! but talk of hosting a new domain is in progress, it simply means you guys are making nobody somebody.

If NL Admin can flag his MAC addresses he will need a new phone or computer to visit this site.

All that being said, stereotyping is unhealthy; I would avoid it in a public discuss.

I am just curious, why the question? 12m in building this days is not a lot of money, don't get me wrong. It is a lot but considering the high cost of materials these days, 12m might not be sufficient for a foundation work in some areas.

Well, your primary focus is the intention of the building.. it doesn't matter if the land is worth 550m or 550k.

If this is a private house, as long as you like the area and it suits your need, build your house and enjoy.

If it is a rental property, do a market survey around the area to make sure it will worth your while. There will be a good Return on investment and your property wouldn't have a high vacancy rate.

What kind of structure are you planning on to build?

Yes o.
Let me share my experience with you.
I live in the north. In 2009 I got a plot of land in a local place for 500k. Although, it shouldn't have been more than 350k but the agent outsmarted me.

It was a local area. I started building in 2010 and moved in December 2011 without finishing everything. I moved based on the popular belief, you can use your next rent to do much work in your building or if you don't move, you won't be motivated to finish the project. I don't believe this again. Talk for another day.

The challenge:
1. My building is not the best in the area but people one way or the other will know that your income is at least steady if not increasing. As such, I get people knocking on the gate everytime seeking for one help or the other. You can't turn them down as it may expose you to other risk whereas my friends living in GRAs and choice locations found it strange.

2. Having a great or outstanding building in a local area is a security challenge. I have not been spared of theft incidences.

3. If you want to dispose the building in the future, those who can afford it may not want the locality and also, it won't appreciate much. The same year I built my house, a close boss bought a land for 7m in a choice location and built it. The land in the same location without building worth not less than 20m today whereas my locality has been static in appreciation. No thanks also to the security challenge in the north.

4. It is better you live in locality in the minimum with people with similar financial capacity or better still, people you can look up to financially. You will be motivated and you will develop good network of relationship that can better your lot.

5. The financial stress of the locality will rest on few of you most especially in a situation where government is not taking responsibility. For instance, in my area, the locals have refused to pay for security, they believe they have little or nothing to lose. Ditto with infrastructural development.

As regards your mummy supervising the project, that has been dealt with. Don't allow it since she is not experienced in building.

My advice.

you guy's should stfo
Even if some tribes are asking of apology it shouldn't be 4rm u igbos
Upon all the way your people insult tinubu call yoruba afonja bla bla bla u don ever see them asking of apology?

Big bro!



We can either make a difference or make another excuse for failure.

Trolling is just one of the “too many” reasons a new platform is needed.

Godisgreatest1:
Now it's 5 days, we are still on 'tribal' matters.

From tribal matters to starting a new platform.

So what happens to this platform?

(1) If the post has been edited, it justifies it has been offensive all this while! For goodness sake, if I post a comment and later modify it, it means there's something 'worth correcting' in the comment. There is No correction without a mistake.

(2) Starting a new platform exalts the offended. It means you are running away from something. I won't support it because it isn't necessary.

We are adults please let's not forget. The conversations here of recent has been far from interesting not to talk of decent. Over a comment made since on Saturday. You can all continue with your 'tribal' war and be fulfilled by the end of today. Thank you.
