Current Price Of Shiba Inu, Market Cap, And How To Buy Shiba Inu Coin: The general public are interested in know much about the meme coin (Shiba INU), which turn many into a six figure boss with it abnormal growth in 2021. On this post we will unveil all you need to know about Shiba Inu and How to buy the most talked about Meme coin.

What Is SHIBA INU (SHIB)?

Once upon a time, there was a very special dog. That dog was a shiba inu, and this dog inspired millions of people around the world to invest money into tokens with the dog’s image on it.

According to the SHIBA INU website, SHIB is the “DOGECOIN KILLER” and will be listed on their own ShibaSwap, a decentralized exchange.

Shiba Inu coin was created anonymously in August 2020 under the pseudonym “Ryoshi.” The meme coin quickly gained speed and value as a community of investors was drawn in by the cute charm of the coin paired with headlines and Tweets from personalities like Elon Musk and Vitalik Buterin.

Shiba Inu aimed to be the Ethereum-based counterpart to Dogecoin’s Srypt-based mining algorithm. Shiba Inu and the SHIB token are part of a swarm of dog-themed cryptocurrencies, including Baby Dogecoin (BabyDoge), Dogecoin (DOGE), JINDO INU (JIND), Alaska Inu (LAS), and Alaskan Malamute Token (LASM). These lesser-valued tokens have attracted investors who missed the Dogecoin pump from 0.0002 to nearly 0.75 USD.

On Sept. 17, 2021, Coinbase, the largest US-based crypto exchange, listed Shiba Inu on their platform. This news caused Shiba Inu price to rise by over 40% in the following two days, bringing the meme dog token into the spotlight again.

Who Are the Founders of SHIBA INU?

The SHIBA INU WoofPaper has three reasons why their team created SHIB:

1. “We started from zero, with zero.”
2. “The brilliant minds behind Shib had never collaborated before.”
3. “We love Shiba Inu Dogs.”

The anonymous creator of the Shiba Inu coin is known as “Ryoshi.” However, very little is known of the mystery founder of the dog-themed cryptocurrency, much like the founder of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto.

What Makes SHIBA INU Unique?

The SHIBA INU website invites dog-inspired artists from all over the world to foster the “artistic Shiba movement” as they bring their SHIBA INU community into the NFT market.

SHIBA INU has also created a campaign using Amazon Smile in order to collect donations for rescue real, live Shiba Inu dogs with the Shiba Inu Rescue Association.

How Many SHIBA INU (SHIB) Coins Are There in Circulation?

The SHIBA Shib website notes that they locked 50% of the total token supply on Uniswap, and “threw away the keys!” The remaining 50% was “burned to Vitalik Buterin.”

In response to the “gift” from the Shiba Inu team, Vitalik Buterin sent 50 trillion SHIB tokens, worth $1 billion in Shiba Inu price at that time, to India’s Covid Crypto Relief Fund. Buterin then burned 40% of the total supply to a dead wallet.

There are several other tokens described on the SHIBA INU website — LEASH, which has “been unleashed and will not rebase,” and BONE, the “Dogecoin Killer.”

LEASH has a fixed supply of only 107,646 tokens, and offers enticing rewards to liquidity providers, while BONE has 250,000,000 tokens, and is a governance token that allows holders to vote on the Shiba Inu’s Doggy decentralized autonomous organization (DAO).

The WoofPaper notes that you will use SHIB to DIG for BONES or ShibaSwap, or even BURY your tokens. “Trainers” can teach their Shibas to SWAP tokens as well — all of these actions create “Returns” that are put into the Puppy Pools, where the #SHIBARMY has the option of BURYING or DIGGING for BONES.

In the beginning of May 2021, dog-themed meme tokens like Shiba Inu saw transaction volumes in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Shiba Inu price hit an all-time high (ATH) of 0.00005 on May 10, 2021, before going on a downtrend since.

On May 13, Vitalik Buterin (who was given half of the token supply by the developers) announced that he was donating a large amount of these tokens to a fund helping India with COVID relief. The SHIBA developers had not anticipated Buterin selling his tokens, so the relief fund (as of May 18) will have to navigate how to sell the tokens to use the money on aid without preventing market shocks in the SHIB market. At the news of Buterin’s announcement, Shiba Inu price dropped 44%.

How Is the SHIBA INU Network Secured?

According to 22-page-long SHIB’s WoofPaper, SHIB is an ERC-20 token based on Ethereum, a proof-of-work blockchain currently transitioning to proof-of-stake.

14 Stages of Building a House in Nigeria

Building a house in Nigeria is a very big challenge and big achievement, that is the reason even the low class and the jobless will always wish to have one, however, it is good to know that having a house is a very good thing.

In this post we are going to teach or rather un-vail the various stages of building a house once you have a landed property. This is to encourage our readers to know what to do and how to start the journey of having their own house.

So many people want to know the stages of building a house in Nigeria. Some professionals argue over time that this information doesn’t concern non-professionals but I disagree. As a buildee, you also need to know the stages of building a house in Nigeria.

This informs some decisions you get to take as regards your project. Especially in the aspect of finance and also, choice of vendors. However, a program of works is usually prepared by the contractor showing you these details. When to start the tiling works, how long it would take, etc.

In this article, we have taken out time to elaborate on the stages of building a house in Nigeria. This is a step-by-step guide just so you, the owner, also know what precedes each stage of the construction.

1. Paperwork

Stages of Building a house in Nigeria Before you start your construction project, you need to have the right papers. Not just the right papers, but the right APPROVED papers. This includes drawings from all the professionals involved in the design of your structure. The paperwork includes the following listed below, but not limited to:Architectural Drawings, Structural Drawings and Bills of Quantities (Includes material and labor cost, contingencies, etc)

2. Setting Out

Stages of Building a House in Nigeria
The next step is to mark the boundaries of the property on the ground. We term this setting-out. We do this to define accurately, the outline and width of excavation. It also aids in the centerline determination of the building walls as proposed. The major aim of this process is to transfer the working drawings on paper to the ground.

3. Trench Excavation

Stages of Building a House in Nigeria
Excavation is carried out as the next step. This involves digging trenches to receive the foundation of the structure. Regarding the drawing’s defined lengths and widths, excavation should be carried out. Depending on the depth and composition of the subsurface, suitable machines are used to excavate the earth. For regularly smaller structures, we use manual digging tools.

4 Foundation Work

Foundation work comprises many sub works which include:

i. Compacting the ground
The excavation pits are trimmed and dressed as per the structural Engineer’s given details. Hand compactors are used to compact the soil base.

ii. PCC
PCC stands for plain cement concrete, which is sometimes called “Blinding”. This is done to have a level surface, thus forming a solid base on which reinforcements can be tied. This enables the placement of a concrete footing. Plain cement concrete of the mix 1:4:8 cement, sand, and aggregates. It could also be a ratio 1:3:6 and laid on the compacted soil in varying depth as required.

iii. Footing Reinforcement
Reinforcement steel bars are tied together and placed on the PCC to form a skeleton in which concrete is poured and the column rods are taken from them.

iv. Shuttering
To achieve a properly shaped concrete, shuttering is done as per section details in the drawing. It is also done so that the concrete doesn’t come in contact with the soil.

v. Footing Concrete
It is very necessary to check the levels of foundation before concrete work. There are patches where excavated depth slightly exceeds and vice versa. Concrete is poured as per structural drawing specifications.

5 Column Casting

Regardless of the structure being constructed, columns are advised to be used. In this modern-day, framed structures are springing up, with columns, beams, and slabs offering designers the room to play with walls. This doesn’t negate the role of load-bearing walls though, except for lack of flexibility. Column casting is next and is made by pouring concrete into frameworks already fixed and shuttered. Columns are ready after curing takes place over a 24hr period.

6 Floor Casting

Some people cast their floors before columns sometimes. However, this is usually for a single floor structure. When dealing with multiple floors, it is right to cast the columns first.

7 Laying of Block Walls

Block walls are next on the process list. These walls could be constructed using materials such as bricks, wood, precast concrete, solid/hollow blocks, glass. The use of some of these materials is greatly affected by the construction method. The height of the walls depends on the floor height. Necessary openings are created for doors, windows, and ventilators.

8 Lintel Casting

This is not really a stage per se, as it is done during the laying of block walls. A lintel is a horizontal support across an opening. It could be a door or window opening. Openings for windows & doors are left during masonry works. Lintel could be made of reinforced cement concrete, timber, or steel, and is design dependent. The lintel is created to carry loads above the opening.

9 Roofing

Roof members (king post, tie beam, purlins, etc) are set up to receive the roof covering. The roof members also depend on the roof covering material. Some roof members could be made of steel sometimes. When you talk about the stages of building a house in Nigeria, this is a milestone stage.

10 Plastering Work

Plasterwork begins after taking off the formwork, over a 14-day period. Mortar for plasterwork is of the mix ratio 1:3 or 1:4 cement and sand. The thickness of the plaster layer should not be over 0.75 inches. Curing takes about 7 days to make the plaster gain proper strength.

11 Fixing of Doors and Windows

At this stage, you can fix doors of various materials depending on the specifications given. Wooden doors are the most preferred type but sometimes, doors made from aluminum and steel are used. All doors should have sufficient fire ratings. This is the standard. For the windows, you could have wooden windows, aluminum casement/sliding windows, projected windows, etc. It is safer to fix doors after the first coat of painting works.

12 Fixing of Electrical and Plumbing Works

The necessary electrical and plumbing works are carried out before the final finishing works. These electrical works do not start here, especially when conduit wiring is preferred. All of the conduit pipes would have been laid during the casting of the floor. Finishing works such as painting and laying of tiles are done after fixing these components to reduce the damage.

13 fixing of Tiles
Stages of Building a House in Nigeria
Here, tiles are laid in specific areas as shown in the specification drawings. Areas such as bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, are usually tiled even though it is at the request of the client. First, the wall tiles are fixed after which the floor tiles come next. For flooring works, some materials used also include granite, marble, epoxy.

14 Painting
Stages of Building a House in Nigeria
Painting comprises different sequences depending upon the finish required. It could be 1 coat of primer and 2 coats of water-based paint done. Also, could be 2 coats of putty and 2 coats of paint, done for a smooth finish. It defers for outside and inside works.

Note: After all this steps there must be a miscellaneous Works which includes terrace waterproofing
landscaping works
False Ceiling
Installation of Furniture
At various intervals, miscellaneous works take place. Some of them could be an after-thought which will require the undoing of some previous work. This causes a lag in delivery time. It is pertinent to plan out all that is required for a project. This is to make sure you do not lose valuable time and money.
