Please who knows the current price of stone coated roofs and other quality roofing sheets??

Cashio:
please don't start unless you are sure to keep getting that 300k at least every 2 months. You can invest that in a business that can earn you some profits and from your earnings in the business, you can start your building project.
300k won't even finish setting out, excavation and foundation blinding. A piece of block now is over 200 naira. A bag of cement is over 4500 naira.
Foundation of a four bedroom bungalow now should take at least 600 blocks, 25-30 bags of cement, two trips 6 tonnes sharp sand, a trip of local gravel, water, up to 10 or 15 lengths of 12mm rod(if you are to reinforce the edges), another 6 lengths of 8mm for stirrups, 30 lengths of 2 by 2 for profile, lines, pegs, supervision charges, bricklaying charges, concrete casting, excavation charges, etc.
That is excluding the dpc casting or what we call German flooring.

Architect alone may charge 60-80k for drawings alone ..

Baba use you 300k chop food abeg.

Attached is a four bedroom bungalow we are currently working on at the moment.
The owner of that house has spent more than 12m at the current stage. Although his site is waterlogged anyways and we had to introduce ground beams and foundation chaining.

Good day bro. It's obvious you're an expert in building. Can you kindly quantify what materials would be needed for the foundation of a story building. 3bedroom. Thank you!

ImaIma1:


This sounds like UK or an European country

Yeah, UK

You have no clue, the worst thing you can experience is working a low wage job abroad. Keep talking about electricity like people don't have access to 24hrs electricity in Nigeria, after enjoying 24hrs electricity abroad them after that what next?

�. I understand what you mean. 2 days ago I was at work, with the cold and crazy Job. I thought to myself, If I had a good Job in Naija nothing will make me come and stress myself like this in the name of hustle. I'm quite new though, I believe with time I'll get to enjoy the good sides too. Right now, the beautiful environment and 24/7 Light mean nothing to me anymore. The hustle is draining.

My two Nigerian female neighbors keep on complaining. Every single time they're in a conversation, it's about how they're tired, how they want to go back... Etc. But for their children they can't do that. Infact that's almost all what they talk about Everytime.

So I understand those who said it's not all rosy abroad. I also understand those who are really striving to travel out. Sometimes I feel Nigeria is better, the cruise, friends, fun, sun, etc. But then I Police, bribery and corruption (I hate this with ion) the joblessness, etc. Then I'll reconsider.

Thing is nowhere has it all.

Pls apart from using dollar card is there any other means of paying my Visa and IHS fees. Also I don't have someone abroad to help make the payment.. can I use barter?

I saw this accident this morning.. I and my driver thought no one could survive that. I felt so terrible (myself I was travelling long distance today). Only for me to reach my destination, check nairaland to discover the guy survived that terrible accident.

This could only be the hand of God. Thank God for second chance.

All the people saying dont tell her your mom suggested it bla bla bla.. I don't get.

What's wrong with your mum giving her opinion on her son's wedding?

Why should you claim your moms suggestion is yours.

Any wife that's does not agree with a reasonable suggestion because it's coming from a mother in law is not a good one.

Hey babe this is what my mom suggested. I think it's fine.. what do you think? Talk to your parents about it and hear their opinion too. Considering there's no money on ground

Kemkem93:

Kemkem93:

Rhuth:

Please how long does it take for the hard copy TRF to be sent over, assuming its CBT, BC?
If my address is my house, how will it be delivered? Courier?
What if I don't answer the call? Can I get it from their office and will a mail be sent to me to come get it?

I receive my cbt result exactly after a week of writing. And the TRF 3 days after

They called me on phone, asked if I could come get it at their office. I told them I wasn't around, so they brought it to my address.

I wasn't sent a mail for collection, just a phone call from the courier.

Ge0grapher:

Thank you guys for your help

yeah, thats true, but that is when the seating arrangement is closely packed.

damidam:
Won't reading a "little to yourself" be a distraction to others? In my opinion your question is rhetorical sir.

Pls i'll like to ask, during the reading session, will one be allowed to read out to himself a little?. i realised i understand and read faster when i read out than when i read in my mind.

Would that be allowed? Especially in Computer based tests?

I really have no idea, this is my first time of writing. But the little i heard is that they have the same level of hardness.

Slayyy001:
pls which is preferable , idp for Ielts or British council ! Idp has a nasty process and have done exams with them twice !

I only went for idp cos the report said British council wa hard . Pls honest advice moving forward. Because listening and reading is the only business I have now .
Which of these bodies is better ? Idp or BC !!

Pls how long does it take to get approval from british council. i booked since last week, by my status is still booked, awaiting approval. meanwhile my exam date is almost here, on the 28th of this month.

Pls what should i do?

ucystan:




Hello, are you using ieltsonlinetest to practice? i use same o, can we practice together?

abnot:

Create an on the site. Then with your credentials before starting the practice . Preferably use google chrome .

Lastly if it’s within your power kindly speed up with your practice and test so you can enter the pool. Things are changing rapidly and unpredictably

Thank you very much, i just did that and i've gotten my results. I however didnt get what you meant by "so that i can enter the pool"

Pls Help, i'm using the ieltsonlinetests.com practice website... i just finished a listening test, but it is not submitting for marking.. or how does it work? who has used it before?

abnot

i have installed drivers but it still isnt working.

This is my submission

The lockdown should be lifted for people that are not scared of the virus to go about their normal activities.

Those that want to continue with the lockdown can remain indoors at their own will to prevent themselves from ing the virus.

With this approach. People that go about won't be much and automatically will improve social distance. As some people will be locking down at will.

As it stands now. This lockdown is not really yielding results. It may be working for other countries. But It's not working for us as Nigerians wey we be.

So I think the lockdown should be lifted only for those ready to go out. While the others remain at home.
Finally everybody is happy

smartlepere:
OK, will have to do it before going to the ministries for authentication.

Exactly. Good luck bro

smartlepere:
OK, thank you very much

you're welcome bro

smartlepere:
Also, is it only the certificate or both certificate and the transcript that must be certified?

Just the certificate.

smartlepere:
That means am to send a photocopy to school for certification?

yeahh

smartlepere:
Thank you very much sir. Please there is another thing I didn't get very well, I have my certificate and transcript but you made mention of the document having true certified copy written on it before they well be attended to at the embassy. Please do I have to take them back to my school for another signatory before going for authentication and legalisation?

Actually we're both in the same shoes. I also intend to legalise my documents. But I've not certified my degree certificate from my university as their (UI)Nasu has been on strike for sometime now.

I have a colleague that visited the embassy last month for the same process. He was told he had to certify his degree certificate before it can be legalised. Although he had already authenticated both at the MOE and MOFA. So he had to go back to school to certify it. B4 going back to legalise

So it's compulsory to first certify your cert at school before going for legalisation.

victorsol:


all is 10days but only legalisation takes 7days.
but if you are smart, you can spend 3days. just tell the woman how urgent it is and you can show her evidence to back up your claim.
about pay faster, you can't pay extra money to fast your processing at the embassy. You only need to beg them.

but you can pay at ministry of foreign affairs to get your documents authenticated as soon as possible

Okay bro. Thanks a lot. Uve been really helpful. God bless you

smartlepere:
No, just normal ission. Please help me attend the question.

about any other documents to legalise. I think it depends on the school you're applying to. But I guess for Msc studies it's usually just degree certificate and transcript.

If you could send someone else to do the legalisation on your behalf. I think there's a form you can fill out and sign and give to the person.. check the Belgian Embassy for more details.

victorsol:


once student copy is not on it and carried address of any organisation, then it will be accepted as official transcript

Pls I'll also like to know. On normal circumstances legalisation procedure takes 7 days to complete. But is it possible to do that in a shorter period of time..say 2 to 3 days someone said you can do that. But you'll pay more for a faster process.

Do you have any idea about that??
