JadeWilliam:




My dear, so many companies&their reps visit Nairaland.U don't knw how big dis forum is.

I remember a tym I started a thread saying Access Bank was fraudulently charging customers #200 monthly calling it account maintenance fee eventhough it wasn't my salary account&u can imagine collecting 200 naira frm ova 1 million customers monthly.

So many ppl voiced their disgust ova dat fee&threatened 2close d accounts they had wit access bank.U won't believe; d nxt mth,they send me a txt dat they hav cancelled d maintenance fee charge&encouraged me 2keep using my account.

Also there was a tym someone started a thread abt Golden morn not suitable 4children below 3yrs whch was then written boldly on d pack of golden morn. Later on da tyear,Nestle had 2reproduce&rebrand golden morn,removing d stuff they wrote on d pack of it not 2b given 2children below 3yrs&their rep even cam 2Nairaland 2dispute that its not suitable 4children below 3yrs.

All in all.God bless Nairaland&may all d evil hackers not destroy Nairaland forum as it brings Nigerians all ova d world

SeaGold: Op when you did your research and came up with your work, did you credit your sources?

You can't claim the work is yours, can you do that legally?

The only person that can lay claim to compensation is Seun Osewa. The publishers were suppose to credit their work to Nairaland but since it is an electronic platform, they considered it extensive research otherwise it should have read "culled from nairaland" if it was suppose to be another print publication.

Anyway, I understand how you feel. Imagine the profit they will make from that "gossip" news. Get in contact with the editor sharply and demand compensation if truly you don't work for that publication firm.

You came across like a journalist that write for all this soft sell gossip magazines.
