Just nudity?

You do not know the Nigerian constitution, stop embarrassing yourself.

"A person who intentionally exposes his or her genital organs, or a substantial part thereof with the intention of causing distress to the other party, or that another party seeing it may be tempted or induced to commit an offence under this Act, commits an offence termed ‘indecent exposure".

What Tekno did is both illegal and indecent. If you don't see anything wrong with it but carry placards against BBN (which isn't illegal by the way), then you've got both ignorance and hypocrisy to deal with.

Hey guys what is happening to this thread, seems like we ve all abandoned it. @ laudate poshest mickey01 the current new series Iron Lady and Begusarai re quite interesting especially Begusarai. Rooting for Priyom Thakur to be the ruler of Begusarai

Hi, there!! cheesy Sorry, the mods have been on a banning spree, so I decided to ignore NL for a while. Whatzup? cool Yes, I have been following some of the Zee World movies. I am trying so hard not to fall in love with Bergusarai! This is because, I know Zee World and their crazy tactics. After starting a series rather well, then they would end up inserting some stuvpid plots that don't make sense midway, which would eventually spoil the whole show, with their peculiar brand of foolishness! shocked

Priyom is my favourite for now, and I am hoping he does become more popular as time goes on. cool I also like Pulan Thakkur the ruler, for his wisdom and sense of fairness. Look at how he dealt with Lakhan by soaking him with buckets of water, after Lakhan had punished Poonam by making her stand under the tap for 6 hours! shocked Tit-for-tat is the name of the game.

Bindiya is cunning and reckless. sad Did you see how she released a snake into the Thakkur's mansion, and their grandson got bitten by it? Yet, she immediately jumped up to suck out the venom from the boy's leg. shocked Her greed and manipulative tactics seem to have no end. I rather like Maya and Manjita, too. But Maitlesh reminds me of a typical Naija man, who keeps his wife at home and has a side-chic on the sly. cheesy

Before that, the same Bindiya had instigated Yadav the rebel, to attack Pulan Thakkur's family. Only for her to turn round, and betray the guy by revealing his plans to Thakkur. The attacks & gun fight that followed was super interesting! After everything was over, and the Thakkurs were safe, Bindiya now crawled out innocently, as if she had done them a huge favour. Silly pretender! shocked

The other series currently annoying me right now, are the old repeated episodes of that serial called The Promise. I had forgotten how manipulative Pia could be. angry And Bani is still a rather big mumu, who keeps doing childish things, while making big speeches about revenge! For goodness sake, she needs to be much smarter. How could she have allowed herself to get arrested a second time, by Pia? What if Aparajit Deb had not come in, to save her at the police station? Chai! angry

As for Jai Walia, he is the perfect epitome of a clueless, powerless puppet! angry So with all the gra-gra about being a rich billionaire businessman, how come he cannot use his brains to get Pia out of his life, permanently?

With Iron Lady, I have developed a soft spot for Rishi. cheesy And I am glad to see that his romance with Indira has started. But he should just quickly tell Indira the whole truth about himself, before his brother Sameer spills the beans about his identity! shocked But that Sameer, is a really smooth character. Who knows what he might do next, in order to get the property of Indira's family? undecided

Business / Re: Business Betrayal By A Friend I Trusted... by LaudateII: 2:29pm On Mar 17, 2018
lazeal:
Thanks so much for this. I have taken note of every tips shared here. I do hope everything works out later so I can share the good news with everyone and also seek your advice on structuring my idea into an establish company or organization.

I am sorry about all what you went through, but there are a lot of unexplained aspects. I read your story and I have a few questions.

1). Have you supplied any product/service through your friend to a particular person/company/3rd party? Or are you just seeking for a contract, to be given to you or your friend, so that you can both supply the goods/services?

2). Do you have any proof that the supplies were actually made to that specific person/company/3rd party, by your friend? shocked

3). Do you have any info on the time period for payment (e.g. 30 days or 45 days etc) or can you ascertain exactly how long it takes, for payment to be made, after goods/services are supplied?

4). If it is a genuine deal, most people/companies/3rd parties who require the goods, or those who have received the goods, would definitely have an idea of what you were talking about, when you called them on the phone. undecided At best, they might ask you to call someone else in charge of that aspect within their organisation, by giving you another name, e-mail or number to call. At worst, if they do not want to divulge information on the phone, they might ask you some relevant questions such as:

a). What is the name of your firm, when were the goods/services delivered, and to whom?
b). Ask you to write a formal letter stating the whole transaction and how it took place, so they can direct it to the relevant authorities, within the firm.
c) List out the relevant procedures/steps you need to go through, to actually get the contract. It may not get you the deal at the end of the day, but you would have gotten relevant information, on how next to proceed.
sad

Finally, your friend is not being transparent and honest. He is not divulging relevant facts, and his secrecy could cause you to lose money and reputation, at the end of the day. Please be careful with him. undecided

If there is truly a contract in place, (as in there is a specific person/company/3rd party who truly requires your goods/services), then your friend should show you details of the contract and/or the LPO for the job. Then make sure you keep a copy with you, which you can go and verify at the firm which issued it.

Last word: If you decide to proceed further with this friend, please ensure you both agree on the rules of engagement. There should be a minimum amount of info, that he needs to provide to you, like customers' name, delivery point, LPO copy and payment period. If he cannot give you all these, kindly walk! shocked

oga we are both Nigerians here and you cannot tell a person who passed through a system his experience. if you never go civilized country, I have. And as a matter of fact, I live in one now. so no be me you go tell about LPG or STI. If you want to educate me, do the practical. take 4 litters gallon go NNPC station and buy fuel if e go fill your gallon. You day see korokoro suffering and you day sugarcoat am. I have to exaggerate because I am sensitive to the pains of the commoners. I have seen a grown man cry because of gas to cook for his family. Gas way the man buy no last 2 weeks e finish. Not everyone has that kinda cash. if you have used gas outside Nigeria or if you have anyone living outside Nigeria ask am how long him cooking gas day last.

telling of roadside seller is just sugarcoating the pains of my brother there. who gave those people license to sell? is the government not aware? no be from NNPC dem day buy am from? abi dem day refine their own crude oil? telling me that my cylinder has leakage na insult. Are you vouching for NNPC that cannot account for themselves? do you think that they are ignorant of that they are doing? They know pass you. if person complain of his problem no day shut the person up because. don't tell the person that he lied because you are not there. what you are saying, you yourself are not sure. when them bring evidence come out now you go run. you no go fit stand again.

dem no day carry any government company for back for 9ja. things happen everyday and your experience might be rosy but do not trash another man case because you no go fit carry the pain.

I am not speaking as someone who used gas in January but na Nigeria we all day for decades now so we know whats up. all we day shout for is change. if you day talk like this people get the impression that things are getting better but that is wrong.

many of my guys here have been misinformed but open the matter scatter make people know the seriousness. the topic is sayign now that gas is cheap. is it really cheap for you now? can the avergae man in nigeria afford it? when the average nigerian feeds less than a dollar per day. how can he afford gas. if dem pay you minimum wage 18k can you afford cooking gas?

I know wetin I day talk my guy. all these story no day sweet me. no be for me or my family oh but I am sensitive because I have been there before and I know what it is. I am in a comfortable place today but I know how life be for there.

guy! dem no day intimidate me with English cos apart from nairaland na English surround me. I am educated here and I no forget my root.

Eeyah! Your long epistle shows that you did not even understand the point being made in my last post. sad Any grown man crying because of gas that did not last for 2 weeks, is merely feeling sorry for himself. I have offered my advice. He should check the valve in his cylinder to ensure it is not leaking. And he should replace it, if he discovers it is leaking. He should also buy from only approved LPG outlets to ensure his cylinder is accurately refilled. Must I repeat this in my native dialect for you to understand it? shocked

If you tell me that you do not believe or you cannot understand how cylinder valves can leak, then it means you are grossly ignorant. Talk to experts who know about these things. The rubber seal inside the valve can wear off. Even the regulator can become defective over time. Get a qualified gas technician to check it for you, and change it, if needed. sad

As for those selling LPG cylinders by the roadside and refilling them, you need to realise many of them are unlicensed and crooked. undecided Some are licensed to sell only cooking gas accessories but then, they turn round and start refilling, which is an activity that is not covered by their license. Go to them and ask them for a copy of their current license and you will hear the fake excuses they give.

As for buying accurate litres of fuel, ensure you patronise a fuel station with an accurate meter. There are stations I will NOT buy from, simply because I am not comfortable with the way they dispense fuel. And there are others I do not mind going to the extra mile to patronise, because of their accurate method of dispensing fuel. Shine your eye. Everyone has a choice. sad

There are different sizes of gas cylinders. From 3 kg that costs less than 1,000 naira to refill, to the 6 kg which costs less than 2,000 naira to refill to the 12.5 kg and even up to the 50kg. Choose the one that suits your pocket. undecided The same people who lament that gas is expensive will end up buying other items for far more expensive amounts. Some even buy 1 bottle of kerosene, that will not last them for 3-4 days, at an exorbitant rate.

Now, if you are done lamenting, kindly stay out of my mentions, since it is obvious that you are allergic to honesty and good advice. Thanks. undecided

you just day contradict yourself. you say how and you say you can be shortchanged. where you day? are you a foreigner in Nigeria? abi you be jjc? if you no no something make you ask first. u must not know everything. carry your gallon go petrol station go buy fuel or kerosene and tell me weda e go full. ask yourself weda government no no. na gas na Nigerians go just dash you accurately without cheating you because your papa name na oil well.

No sir. You are the one whose post is riddled with contradictions. shocked

First, you said your cooking gas cylinder was filled with Oxygen, without any iota of proof. sad This was debunked and the reason why it could not occur, was clearly pointed out to you.

Secondly, you claimed that your cooking gas does not last. In fact your words were: "In Nigeria before you on am make eba e don finish." This obviously was a clear exaggeration on your part. undecided So I pointed out to you the reason why your cooking gas could end up being inadequate, namely:

1); Refilling your cylinder at a roadside gas retailer, instead of filling it up at a certified LPG Gas plant or LPG skid. sad I even gave you the average tare weight for a 12.5kg cylinder of gas, and the correct quantity that should fill up the cylinder. Do you remember? If you refill your cylinder at a roadside dealer, you could end up being shortchanged, as many of them are not licensed to refill cylinders, and many of them lack properly calibrated weighing scales or means of measurement. So always refill your cylinder at a properly certified LPG gas plant, instead.

2). Your cylinder valve might be leaking, and this could lead to gas escaping unnoticed from your cylinder. shocked If this occurs, it constitutes a risk. First, the amount of gas left in it would not be enough for your needs, and secondly, it could lead to a fire, if it is not checked or if the valve is not replaced.

Now, if you have taken note of all these, there is no reason why your gas cylinder would not last you for a few weeks of usage. Gas is a finite quantity, not infinite. Just like kerosene or wood, it gets depleted as you used it for your daily cooking activities, over a period of time. sad Even the fuel in your car, ends up running out at a particular point in time, after you have driven it for several kilometres. Just monitor its usage. So what is so difficult about that?

I have bought kerosene for stoves, petrol for cars, gas for cylinders and diesel for generators from filling stations, and I have hardly ever been shortchanged. Why? Because I only refill or make my purchases from accredited fuel stations, or LPG plants. In my car, I know where the gauge reaches, when I buy 2,000 naira worth of fuel or more. So if anyone sells fuel to me, and it is below the gauge, I call the attention of the management to it, and ensure it is rectified. undecided

In the same manner, when your cylinder is being refilled, at an accredited LPG Gas Plant, kindly watch the gauge on the scale or dispenser, and ensure the accurate quantity is refilled in your cylinder before you leave the place. wink Be wise.

considering the fact that we are a giant supplier of natural gas our local suppliers actually sell oxygen-filled gas to us rather than the real deal. one is buying half the content in a normal cylinder of gas. other places of the world, gas cylinder day last the buyer for a long time. In Nigeria before you on am make eba e don finish.
Nigeria has abundant natural gas reserve at 192 Trillion Cubic Feet, TCF, and currently, ranks ninth in the world, yet the locals resort to firewood becasue they cannot afford to use gas. only in Nigeria is cooking with gas considered an affluent lifestyle. people go even day brag say dem day use gas. gas way poor men day use anyhow for other places.
Is our government bragging that Nigerians pay less for gas when the average citizen cannot afford it? why are government representatives so wicked like this? You cannot even use electric stove place boil water because light bill is still onthe high. how can the poor survive in this country?
Even the rich people cannot use gas to cook party food. they claim firewood food na sweet pass but when dem go Dubai go do wedding dem forget say firewood food no day there. person go day brag in penury

Buhari enter power instead of am to become minister of light he run go petroleum. he boasted that our refineries would function 100% and criticised the previous regime. Now, none of the refineries function and he has not said anything to condemn himself. is that not hypocrisy?
They should castrate that idiot way say Nigerians pay less for cooking gas. even if na true sef, only one month reach to announce the decades of cheats and extortion on Nigerians?

Oxygen-filled gas? How?? Where? shocked What tests did you conduct on the gas to ascertain that your cylinder contained oxygen? Guy, please do not say what you do not know. Oxygen is actually used in hospitals to resuscitate patients, or to enable those with breathing problems, cope easily when trying to inhale. It is also used to enrich fuel, as a disinfectant (for its oxidizing properties), and as a liquid propellant for rockets. I strongly doubt if it can be used for cooking, because when it comes into contact with flammable organic materials, it may react explosively

An empty 12.5 kg cylinder usually has a tare weight of 14.3kg - 14.6kg. undecided When you take it to an approved LPG gas plant for refill, it should be filled up with 12.5kg cooking gas. If your cylinder valve is not leaking, which could cause loss of gas, then it should serve you for 2-3 weeks, if you are a small family using it for domestic purposes. A caterer cooking for a large clientele would use more gas, for her trade.

Finally, if you refill your cylinder at the roadside resellers of gas, then you can be shortchanged. sad Most of them lack properly calibrated weighing scales, or an accurate gauge. So how can you tell what quantity was actually dispensed into your cylinder?

Of the article you responded to. I heard you mention a certain Fawehinmi.

Paddy Adenuga’s entrepreneur story and the depressing predictability of Nigeria’s elite

cc laudate laudateII

Unless Fawehinmi can show strong links between the debt incurred by Adenuga (snr), and the money spent by Paddy in trying to acquire Chevron Netherlands, then most of his assumptions dwell in the realm of speculation. sad

First of all, a lot of analysts use parameters that are subjective in arriving at their conclusions. undecided There are quite a few independent oil exploration companies in Nigeria and elsewhere, that have done good business exploring for crude and trading the product. Dubri oil, Moni Pulo, Famfa Oil, Amni International, Niger-Delta Exploration & Production etc comes to mind. At the start of their operations, many business analysts would have written them off as nonentities, who would be unable to swim with the sharks in an industry dominated by major oil corporations. But they have shown slow, steady and profitable growth, ever since they started exploration and production activities within their marginal fields, years ago.

Secondly, in this part of the world within Africa, governments and corporations are far more likely to give credence to foreign firms from the West, than indigenous players. sad This must have informed Paddy's strategy to launch a bid for Chevron Netherlands. Where there is a will, there is usually a way. There is no way of telling if he probably would have found an innovative way to deal with the abandex issue, if he had succeeded in buying the oil firm. Afterall, Petronas of Oman bought it - so what did they (as the new owners), intend to do about the abandex issue? Would they have closed a blind eye to it? Surely not. shocked

Thirdly, at the stage of the company's acquisition, it is highly unlikely that Paddy would have disclosed his entire strategy for the firm, upfront in detail. Such details are kept close to one's chest, and only released at the proper time. Oil prices go up and down. Indonesia is a country that monetised its gas resources very well, so fluctuations in crude prices, did not really affect its oil industry, as it was able to withstand such shocks when things did not go well with revenue from crude sales, due to income earned from gas.

Fourthly, Fawehinmi's interpretation of Edgar's action is flawed. He does not reside within the man's mind, and cannot tell if there was some prior unknown story, engagement or action, that informed Edgar's request for money upfront. Oyinbo people do not play with their money, they are not Father Christmas. If they give you credit, you would pay interest on it. undecided Like they say: certain things are sure - death and taxes.

Finally, Adenuga (snr) is owning the banks. But the question is this - are those loans being serviced? Are they being repaid, instalmentally? No one has said that Adenuga has defaulted on payments so far.... so why is Fawehinmi so emphatic that taxpayers' money are in jeopardy? Is there a chance that the money may not be recovered from Adenuga? shocked Fawehinmi needs to supply proof of this fact, before throwing accusations left, right and centre.

Last but not the least, big fancy cars, high class jet travels, wining and dining etc., are a feature of international business, worldwide. sad It is difficult to separate such things from the global corporate world, entertainment scene or the foreign oil industry. Those who have heard of the Petroleum Club and its perks, the OTC meetings etc, would know quite well what we are talking about.

If Paddy had turned up on the doorsteps of Chevron Netherlands head office, in a battered hired cab, wearing an old weather beaten suit, clutching a sheaf of tattered papers to buy the oil firm, would he have been given a second glance? Probably not. undecided During such meetings, you never get a second chance to make a first impression. And the top management of such an oil firm would have cast doubts on his expertise, assets and ability to play in their league. Businessmen are not altruistic. They merely pretend to be.

He started importing Toyota cars in the 70s, when most of you lot were not yet born. He was one of the first set of importers, who pushed the brand, within Nigeria. Govt actually approached him to sell Toyota cars to them, after the Peugeot factory had almost gone comatose in the late 90s. undecided

Not long after he started, alongside 4 other importers including Sunny Motors, some other new firms followed suit. After the exchange rate of the naira to the dollar started spiralling out of control, he approached Toyota Japan to partner with him in setting up a world-class maintenance facility, as well as a direct distributorship in Nigeria, so that Nigerian importers would not have to buy Toyota vehicles from 3rd parties, in other parts of the world.

The role of Doctors in the process of treating her are well documented in the book she wrote after she was healed titled, Rescued From Destruction.
That was an inspiring book. At the end of the day, those medications prescribed by the doctors didn't do much. She still had to rely on faith, God's mercy and healing power as well as daily intake of the holy communion, before her condition improved. May God grant her many more years of good health, happiness, strength and joy.

How is dreadlocks unsuitable for a 1year? dreadlocks are natural and some people just have it. Thats y we are blacks and same way a white person will have blonde ,brunette hair etc.

I have already answered this question in a previous post. Kindly go back and check.

Secondly, people do not just have dreadlocks. It is formed when basic hair grooming techniques are ignored, and the hair is allowed to grow all tangled and locked. Saying dreadlocks is natural, is like saying nudity is natural, so we should all go nake'd.

Even the blondes and brunettes you mentioned, comb their hair and those of their children regularly, or brush it daily. They don't just ignore their kids' hair every day, and let it get all tangled and matted.

I felt excruciating pains on the outcome of this adventure!
I actually shed tears for him!
He deserved to win that bid!
Petrogas didn't do one-quarter of what this guy did!
I still don't understand why he didn't insist on his proposition of the total abandex plus USD 50M.
To me, it was clear-cut deal maker (I didn't get to the end then)
Honestly, the failed deal closure could burn a sane mind out (I'd be disabled for life with that kind of blow)

I don't like folks like Edgar.......at least, matters of principles, fairness, honor, sportsmanship spirit & consideration should make him take same he demanded initially.
I felt for him Sir


Are you Laudate of old sane Nairaland?
What happened to it?
I missed you ohhh
I know what you mean! That deal was such a near miss for him! Quite painful. Yes, the mods decided to play ludo with my old moniker.....but God pass dem! cheesy

Lordspicy:
see people like you should just learn how to mind their own business...
is it your kid? or did you donate sperm to the family?

that's how one woman wanted to rail at me or letting my daughter carry dreads and I shunned her so badly that she no longer greets me on the road
And how is it your own business, too? shocked Are you Noble Igwe or was my comment addressed to you? Or is it a crime to hold a different opinion?

You can put whatever you like on your daughter's head. sad It is your own business. But the minute you paste it on social media, you invite comments from everyone.

If as a celebrity, Noble Igwe doesn't want anyone to comment on his baby's photo, then all he should simply do, is take that photo and hang it on a wall in his house, or inside his bedroom. No need to share it with everyone on social media, and then start asking people to mind their business, when they post a comment he disagrees with! undecided
