Ozil Bruno
App: 35 34

Arsenal finished second , and Leicester won the League.
Manchester United already finished third this season.
The question was why Ozil was not nominated for PFA and Fernandes was nominated?
Why was the media so lousy about Fernandes winning the PFA when someone has done something similar and wasn't even considered to be nominated?
Wait what am I seeing here! She's watching the game live in person but her Livescore app updated that Man City had already scored before they actually scored?!
But how is that possible?!
STOP WASTING MONEY: HERE'S HOW TO CALCULATE BLOCKS FOR YOUR FENCE LIKE A PRO
You're about to fence your land, and the first question hits you: "How many blocks do I actually need?"
Get it wrong, and you'll either run out of blocks mid-project (causing delays and extra transport costs) or you'll over-buy and waste money on blocks you'll never use.
But here's the thing, calculating blocks for fencing isn't complicated. You don't need to be a mathematician or an engineer. You just need to follow a simple step-by-step process that I'm about to show you.
Let me walk you through exactly how to do this, using a standard Nigerian plot as an example.
THE 7-STEP FORMULA TO CALCULATE FENCING BLOCKS
STEP 1: Calculate Your Land Perimeter
First, you need to know the total distance around your property, that's your perimeter.
A standard full plot in Nigeria is typically 50 feet by 100 feet.
The formula for perimeter is simple:
Perimeter = 2 × (Length + Width)
So for a full plot:
Perimeter = 2 × (100ft + 50ft) = 2 × 150ft = 300 feet
If your land has different dimensions, just plug in your numbers.
For example:
* Half plot (50ft × 50ft) = 200 feet perimeter
* 60ft × 120ft plot = 360 feet perimeter
STEP 2: Find the Length of a Standard Hollow Block
In Nigeria, a regular 9-inch hollow block measures 18 inches long, which is 1.5 feet.
However, when you're laying blocks, you need to account for the mortar joints between them. So instead of using 1.5 feet, we use 1.7 feet per block to include the mortar space.
This small adjustment makes your calculation much more accurate.
STEP 3: Divide Perimeter by Block Length
Now divide your total perimeter by the length of one block (including mortar):
Number of blocks per row = Perimeter ÷ Block length
Using our example:
300ft ÷ 1.7ft = 176.5 blocks
Round this up to 177 blocks for one complete row around your fence.
STEP 4: Determine the Number of Courses (Rows)
A "course" is simply one horizontal row of blocks.
How high do you want your fence? That determines how many courses you'll need.
For example:
* 6 courses = approximately 4 feet high (typical for most residential fences)
* 8 courses = approximately 5.3 feet high
* 10 courses = approximately 6.6 feet high
* 12 courses = approximately 8 feet high (for maximum privacy/security)
Let's say you want a standard fence of 6 courses high.
STEP 5: Multiply Blocks Per Row by Number of Courses
Now multiply the blocks needed for one row by your total number of courses:
Total blocks = Blocks per row × Number of courses
177 blocks × 6 courses = 1,062 blocks
So you need 1,062 blocks for your fence. But wait, don't order yet!
STEP 6: Add Allowance for Breakages, Corners & Waste
In real construction, things happen:
* Some blocks arrive broken
* Some crack during handling
* Corners require special cuts and positioning
* You might make mistakes during laying
Professional builders always add a 5-10% allowance for these inevitable losses.
Let's use 5%:
Allowance = 5% of 1,062 = 0.05 × 1,062 = 53 blocks
STEP 7: Add Your Main Number and Allowance
Finally, add your calculated blocks to your allowance:
Final total = 1,062 + 53 = 1,115 blocks
So for a standard 50ft × 100ft plot with a 6-course fence, you need approximately 1,115 blocks.
QUICK REFERENCE: BLOCKS NEEDED FOR COMMON PLOT SIZES
Here's a handy table for standard Nigerian plots (6 courses high, with 5% allowance):
* Half plot (50ft × 50ft): ~706 blocks
* Full plot (50ft × 100ft): ~1,115 blocks
* 60ft × 120ft plot: ~1,338 blocks
* 100ft × 100ft plot: ~1,412 blocks
For different fence heights, just adjust the number of courses and recalculate.
PRO TIPS TO SAVE MONEY AND AVOID MISTAKES
1. Measure Your Land Accurately
2. Consider Your Gate Openings
3. Buy Quality Blocks
4. Store Blocks Properly
It takes just 5 minutes to do the math, but it can save you thousands of naira and weeks of project delays.
