Preventing flood from entering your office

Hello readers, I will be writing about flood today. Flood is an issue during raining season in Nigeria. This could lead to damages of properties. As such some actions are needed to prevent flood from entering your building. There are different methods of preventing flood from entering your building, I will writing about three methods.

You should build your office at least three feet above the base flood elevation (BFE). BFE could be found on flood maps or you could hire a licensed surveyor. When there is flood, buildings whose foundation were raised well higher than BFE will not have water in there compound when it rains heavily and everywhere is flooded.

In a situation where you have built your office and water enters it when it rains heavily, you could landscape with vegetation and plants. While doing that, you should intsall an excellent drainage system. This will prevent soil erosion and the water will drain easily.

Lasting, water tight shields could be installed around doors and window, at least three feet above the BFE.

Everything should be done seeking the pleasure of Allah. Part of seeking the pleasure means hoping for a reward from Him in this life and the Hereafter. Everything happens according to the will of Allah (you have freewill, therefore, you are responsible for your actions).

Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah). May Allah send peace and blessings to Prophet Muhammed (P.B.U.H). Thank you for reading this article. Like this page on facebook. Keep reading this blog regularly. Cheers!

The saverholic

I always say first save your money in an halal account, once it has reached a particular threshold start investing. The saverholic only saves and saves and saves and cannot afford to take well calculated risks. Because, all you do is to save money. Invest in other markets, the higher the risk the higher the return, diversify your investment portfolio. All individuals that have achieved financial growth of great heights are risk takers, and they know that some risk might turn out negative but they know is all part of the process. They learn from it and apply it to the next risk they take and eventually they become experts at the risk they take (risk taken should not be excessive(too much uncertainty)). Then they end up having 80% success rates which I think is good enough. Make sure your business is halal. Give charity regularly from your income, Allah loves charity an...

The need for constant power supply in developing nations

Hello readers, I will be writing about electricity today. I will be using Nigeria as a case study. Electricity is one of the factors that contributes to the success of an organisation. Developed countries have been able to maintain a constant power supply. If they are able to have constant power then it is achievable. Constant electricity could attract good companies, thereby creating employment opportunities. This could alievate poverty in the developing countries. Thus, the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the economy will improve. The challenge here with having constant power supply is also not to pollute the environment as fossil fuel is mostly used for the supply of electricity. Greener alternatives could be used such as tidal energy and wind energy. In my opinion, electricity could be constant in Nigeria if the industry is privatised. The privitisation of the telephone industry made mobile phone easily accessible by individuals. Most people own a phone, both ...
