A heated exchange broke out at a store after a man asked his child’s mother for a $10 loan when he came up short at checkout. Tension rose quickly as he reminded her, “I gave you $2,000 last week, and you can’t spot me $10 now?”

Hello Guys,

I'm throwing this question to you because it's very important. Every time I ask, "how is Nairaland?" I'm told that it is fine. If I ask what are the challenges I'm told there are none.

So I need to talk to you guys directly about what you think is going on and what you want us to do. I have not had the confidence to make major changes on Nairaland. I have a little confidence now because of AI.

What are your complaints, your challenges, your issues. What are the things that can drive people away and need to be nipped?

Speak your mind, but don't be rude. Thanks.

This Weil not end well because Nigerians are Nigeria.

Also someone will just accumulate a lot of personal data with this and end up selling it

I started womanizing to help me overcome my addiction of Betting.

It has helped to an extent as I spend majority of my time in a brothel, Eating, drinking, relaxing and fvcking (my mind leaves betting).

The issue now is that, since I started three years back, I have been treating one infection to another. Currently having skin reaction that brings out small inflammation and rashes on my body like my favourite olosho.

I can't help it. I have tried switching to drinking to take over womanizing, but it won't work.

Except I go back to betting (which is worse). In the past, I would sit all day in a bet9ja shop wasting away - gambling with my money, people's money and my belongings. Then I lose focus and don't work

But with womanizing, at least I get some pleasure, and get to use my money little by little. The rate at which it finishes is not as fast as betting.

The thought of having to choose between different bannies to lash at night keeps me motivated during the day to work harder for cash. Just the infection part as condom do burst at times while there are some I only do raw.

I know my lifespan is short, I just want to enjoy it with a sane mind and not fleeing from betting woes. My body is wired to do one addiction to stay placated/elated.

Having a girlfriend is scary. What if I invest a lot on just one girl and she cheats on me

U need Jesus and not another vice. That void you are trying to fill ehn....... nothing of this world go fill am.

The purpose of bathing is to clean the dirt from our body. With the application of soap( any), the cleansing is made easy.

But after bathing with soap, the towel still get dirty after bath.

Why? Let's see who can get close

Who pays for custom fees? The seller or the buyer?

I have not had to pay any customs fees. Purchase price only. However the case may be different if you are buying a lot of a single item. I have generally bought random stuff

All my purchases from Temu have been ok. You should be fine if you do the following:
1. Check the actual dimensions of the product you are buying in the desciption. if this is not clear do not buy.
2. Check the reveiws from people who have bought, particularly those reviews with attached pictures. if the reviews are not many or there are no pictures, excercise caution.
3. Do not rely of seller posted images, they are deceptive.

like I insist it is unfair for someone to take a word used by everyone and monopolies it , you can monopolies phrases but not a single word which was existing before you were born.
Zap had been in existence before those guys patented it, why should the be given exclusivity to a word for Thier business when they did not create that word, when we have all been using that word.
It is not fair and should be reviewed.
You can use zaplight, zap extreme, zap up,
But not zap, flash, light extreme, and any single word you did not create.
That is institutional rascality

Ok ooooooo, we agree to disagree

Like I said pre existing words should not be patented, only original should be, tomorrow someone will come and patent shine, flash, bright and I won't be able to use it on my line of products, is it fair

Before you pick a brand name, you should conduct a search in the relevant class at teh Trade marks registry and also at the corporate affairs commission for good measure.
this is why legal advice is needed in business, it can help you avoid some pitfalls. societ y is about trying to ballance the many wants and desires of people hence structures are put in place arounf most spheres of life.

While i hear your point, i disagree with the opinoin that existing words should not be trademarked. i do not believe it is a practical solution.

So long as the rules apply to everybody in the same manner then there is fairness.

Why should words be trademarked or patented

Except you are bringing out something new that never existed, a pre existing word or phrase should not be patented,

And day someone will claim flash, Sing, come , take.


Useless zap
Hopeless paystack

Pre existing words can be "trademarked" trademark laws across the world allow it. However trademakrs are ed in classes (1-45). Each class has a class heading which describes the nature of goods/services that can be ed in that class (Google Nice classification of trademarks) . However the trade mark must be distinctive of the class i.e. it must not describe the nature and character of the goods or services in that class. For instance I cannot trade mark butterly, in a class that covers butter and dairy goods.

The intellectual property space is quite nuanced and there are rules.

In addition trade marks are territorial by nature. If I a trade mark in Nigeria it applies to Ngeria only, I cannot extend protection to another country except I in that country.


However ing off is a remedy U can still explore for protecting uned trade marks but you have have to show evidence of recognition in the jurisdiction in question among other things. If the service offered by PayPal is allowed for use in a country where zap is ed, then the owner of zap Africa can potentially use to prevent use in that jurisdiction alone.

Still no guarantees of victory cos there is a lot that will go on in court

If the state of emergency had not been declared, there’s no way Sim Fubara would have remained governor in another three weeks as he would have been impeached

The six months will give him time to re-strategize and mend fences with the state’s house of assembly so his return will be stronger and safer

My young cousin sister just told me she got a visa to travel to Cairo and ‘work’ but I don’t trust this ‘work’ narrative.

The impression I have of these Arab cities ( Cairo, Dubai, etc) is that African girls are trafficked there to go and prostitute for their traffickers.

But people who have information about what happens in Cairo can tell me.

Do Nigerians genuinely work in Cairo or is my little cousin about to be a victim of traffickers?

Is the VISA a work VISA or does she have a work permit?

Does she have an appointment letter?

If not make she Sidon.

Should this story come out na you go chop all blame. say you be man and in the court of public opinion when girls insinuate rape or sexual assault, the man is guilty even when proven innocent.

wayray:
I met a girl during a short visit to Ibadan at my uncle's place. We exchanged numbers and we got talking online. She happens to be a fresh graduate serving.

During one of our usual gist, she said since I'm based in Lagos, I should assist her to look for job by sharing her cv which I obliged. We fixed a date to lash ourselves as Omo ogbon that I am. But my stay got cut short due to urgent stuff at my workplace. ( I forgot to add that I was on leave during this visit) So I left but we still continued gisting and had the date rescheduled for Lagos at my place. When the date for the meeting came, this babe demanded for transport fare which I gave without thinking twice. But surprisingly this babe blocked me immediately after receiving the fund. As a sharp guy, I switched to plan B after waiting for a week without success. I used my other line WhatsApp to chat her and claimed to be chatting her from the company from which I dropped her cv. My people immediately, this babe unblocked me and started apologizing. I said no whala, I pretended to follow up with the company so that they can pick her.

Now I have dropped a particular address not too far from my home for her in Lagos as the location of the company? SHOULD I ALLOW HER TO EMBARK ON THE JOURNEY OR I SHOULD FORGIVE HER?

Pls. I need your advice before Monday. I apologize about the long write up typo.

the Institution of marriage is being bastardised. Sadly a lot of people come to the conclusion that marriage is the problem, meanwhile, People are the problem.
if you know you still want to be in town or you are not tolerant, stay away from marriage.

dont carry you drama and damage another person pikin and damage some of those that will read of it.

Romans 9:15-16

No tenant is entitled to stay in a house for free.

Ideally to evict a tenant you have to take him to court. In court you can claim money for any damage casued and any period the tenant has stayed without paying rent even if its just one month.

The reason a lot of Landlord's dont bother chasing after that money is because sometimes the cost/effort outweighs the benefit.

Get a good lawyer and explore your options.

I repeat there is no law that allows a tenant to stay in a house without paying rent in any circumstance.

The 6 months notice the tenant is entitled to is where the Landlord wants to issue a notice of termination before the expiration of the current term of the tenancy and a smart Landlord will issue the notice early enough so it expires at the end of the term of the tenancy. Where the notice expires after the tenant is still to pay for every day he/she occupied the premises without paying rent.

Darlingme:
Have you ever had an experience of a tenant who has refused to evict a house even after the rent expiration?

Despite all the notifications and reminders?
Someone you told a year before and you kept on reminding him.

What's the best option for such a tenant who is threatened you the house owner that he is free to stay for another period of 6 month after his rent expiration, claiming he is yet to find another house to move to. according to Nigeria law.

He has stayed for free for three months already.

What would you advise?

we've been married for the past 11 years. I can't really tell why she's doing it. But it started when I was in the University and warned me not to have any female friend. Guess, she's feeling insecure.

Na conversation and maybe therapy go for settle this matter, I think

For the past 6 years, my wife has been monitoring all my phone lines—MTN, Glo, and Airtel. She screenshots my chats, records my calls, and even gathers proof with pictures. Changing my phone numbers doesn’t help because she says as long as I use my NIN to a SIM, she can still track everything I do, whether openly or secretly, unless she chooses not to.

I want to put an end to this, but I don’t want to get her into trouble with the law.

Has anyone gone through something like this? How did you handle it? Please share your advice.

How long have you been married? When and why did she start monitoring?
