Carrying out a physical soil investigation in a building site

I had to return to this site to do a site test to assure me of the type of soil characteristics we are going to be working on. To help me, a site test has been carried out for this land, but I am not taking any chances, I want my own independent testing. So I ordered a dig. I got ground water at about 1.2 mts,

Our newest building project in Port Harcourt

When you come for a site inspection, it is advised you keep your eyes very open. As an experienced person, you are to watch out and document all observations. First, this vegetation, this lush green grass is indicative of what might be found underground. This is what we call the walk-over survey.

Sullivan's or Ugwuanyi's work?

These are pictures of ongoing wok along Okpara avenue road (around Chris chemists roundabout in Enugu. Road construction and clearing up of drainages is ongoing there. Has Sullivan Chime continued his projects or is this the handwork of Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi as he starts work? Some mischievous persons around me even insisted that they are only working to clear the front of the road where Peace mass transit company had bought a new loading terminal.

Updates in our land purchase at Ugwuomu Nike

The flow of water is still much here, I have employed some villagers here to help me cut all the grass which has been growing wildly this rainy season. The grass is forming a bush around the entry point into this land. (every one now knows me in this village and they are eager to help in anything I ask of. Some approached me to give them contracts to supply sand and others want to bring in gravel with wheel barrows) Meanwhile we continue to place beacons around the land but the work is being hindered by too much rains which mess up the access roads. I will work on this first culvert pictured to allow me and others drive through to the nearest point in this land where I usually park my car. I think 7 bags of cement will do the work. I have discussed this with some people in the village, they are going to supply gravel and sand while I bring in cement and labour. Water is free.

There lies the carcass of Enugu coal mines

This is the remains of the once busy Onyeama coal mines of Enugu. This was a large company founded by the Europeans around 1910 and sustained till Nigeria's independence. There were roads built, rails constructed and living quarters built to support the business of coal mining which used to be a big employer of labour. The company has now been left to rot even as many mining graduates are left unemployed. Talk about refusal to use our God's given resources.

The unbuilt hotel inside Shoprite Enugu grounds.

I noticed that the area of land alloted for the construction of hotel facilities inside the Enugu shopping mall at Polo park Enugu has been screened off. I think there might be plans to commence the construction of the hotel and conference center. Its long overdue, but still, this might be another attempt to hoodwink the masses into thinking that they are finally serious.

A joke about a dumb thief

A young man went out to buy a gun an rob people on the road out of economic frustration. He went into the market and bought a cheap toy gun and went home with it. Later that evening, the young man came out and his himself in a small bush along a road close to the market to rob unsuspecting traders of their money. The young man was selecting his targets carefully and when he saw an old man slowly walking home, he sprang up from his hiding place in the bushes and blocked the path of the old man and the following conversation ensured; Young man: "Your money or your life!" Old man: "Sorry I will give you all I have, just don't hurt me" But the old man took another look at the young man when he got closer, and started laughing. He was laughing more as he looked at the gun. Young man: Give me the money or I shoot you now" Old man: So you cannot recognise me again, I am the man who sold this plastic toy gun to you this afternoon" The young man just ran back into the bush and threw the gun away.

Beautiful pictures of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka.

Nnamdi Azikiwe University came into being as an offshoot of the defunct Anambra State University of Technology (ASUTECH). In 1991, following the split of the old Anambra State into Anambra and Enugu States, the Awka and Nnewi campuses of the former ASUTECH were constituent into Nnamdi Azikiwe University by the Anambra State Edict No.5 of November 26, 1991. Nnamdi Azikiwe University was taken over by the Federal Government by Decree No. 34 of July 15, 1992. In 1991, after the former Anambra State was split into Anambra and Enugu States, the Awka and Nnewi campuses of the former Anambra State University of Technology (ASUTECH) were combined into Nnamdi Azikiwe University, which was later taken over by Federal government. The university is named after Nnamdi Azikiwe, the first president of Nigeria. The Awka Campus became Nnamdi Azikiwe University. In 1992, the Federal Government of Nigeria took over the University from Anambra State. Nnamdi Azikiwe University, thus, became a Federal University.
