Today, I went again for the up teenth time to enquire about the study materials but was informed that same will be available next week. That has been the standard answer since 3 March 2009.
The lecturer teaches us every Tuesday and Thursday from 9 till 12 whereas the course is supposed to be from 9 till 13 hours every Tuesday and Thursday. It means that apart from non availability of study materials they are robbing us valuable one HOUR per day.
I paid my course fee fully and on the receipt it is written NON REFUNDABLE.
What can I do.

@ Poster,
I want to certify some documents as true copies. Must it be only a solicitor that can handle it for me? Who else can certify documents as true copies?
@ Cristalz, Are you law trained as well? You glaringly strike me as one though.

@jericho dis is a good thread.
On my way home on wednesday last week, a car mistakenly bash a police patrol van. To me the police van driver was at fault course he was trying to manouvre his way through the traffic. The driver of the toyota camry was beaten marcilesly to a state that he cannot stand upright on his own. What can such a man take up the case legally.

OK, agreed its a good initiative Jericho but we will need some kind of confirmation that you are a legal advicer.
May be BAR I.D or something that cant affect your career if posted here. I am saying this because you never know what you will get from here too.
A lot of people might decide to take you up as their attorney.
So we need something to see. Pro bono is good ,

@Nairafan
My suggestion is that you make a formal complaint to the authorities highlighting the non provision of study materials and how it is hampering your studies. As per the time of lectures you need to be more specific. Is it from 9am-12noon or btwn 9 and 13 hours? Keep me updated on the outcome of your report to the authorities.
@ Pataki
Any one can undertake the certification of your documents. Where you do not have the original copies, you can proceed to where you obtained them and have the photocopies certified but where you have the originals, you proceed to a court with the originals of the documents to get the photocopies certified. Kindly furnish more details on the type of documents.
@Iwisee
This is a classic case of battery to which the victim is entitled to damages. The gentleman involved can retain the services of a lawyer to help pursue his claim in court. The difficulty in this case however will be identifying the culprits whom i am sure would have absconded. The recent case of the battering of Ms Uzoma Okere is still fresh in our memories. Till date nothing as been done to the so called Naval ratings who manhandled her. That's the country we live in, very unfortunate though.
@Mr Crackles
Hey Mr Crackles, really appreciate the compliments.
Cheers.
@Sam Milla,
Well said. As per confirmation as a practitioner, kindly go through my other posts on NL. Furthermore, I believe i have refernces here too. Cristalz,Mr Crackles et al.

@ Jericho,
Many thanks for your response. My apologies for not furnishing you with enough details in respect to what documents I was referring to. That said, the documents in questions are certificates and academic credentials.
All the solicitors I have been calling here in the UK, are charging 5Pounds to certify each page. Which to me is utterly ridiculous. Hence my question, whether it is only solicitors who can certify photocopies of documents as true copies.

@Pataki,
Your option is to take the copies to the institutions that issued the certificates and have them certified. But in doing that you also have to consider the time and expenses of carrying it out.
Were the certificates obtained here in Nigeria or in the UK?

From both Nigeria and the UK. Well, I guess I just have to face the solicitors then.

All the best.

Hi Jericho,
I am impressed by your decision! My question is, I have a current account with Diamond Bank; and I'm out of the country for now. Several times I hve had to send them mails requesting for username and password to operate my account online or probably that they send update of my account (statement), unfortunately, afer so many months, I was forwarded a pdf statent whihc I would not open, and nothing since then. It's so frustrating and am loosing my mind to it; it's a small amount but my sweat! and that's my frustration!

hi, i have an insurance savings policy plan with insurance company xyz in Nigeria. this policy was billed to run for 5 years at 10% interst per annum. at about 2 years of the tenor i decided to terminate the policy. truly in their policy contract note they did talk about partial withdrawal by the middle of the programme but at the point of my request for termination; my account officer brings up a totally new scenario - that i would forfeit 35% of my total savings, this is excluding the interest which i have already forfeited. suddenly it looks as if they borrowed me the money rather than i was savings with them. he said its called 'ex-gratia' but sincerely that clause was not written in the policy. he brought a note for me to acknowledge and accept which i refuse to do. while i am willing to forfeit up to 10% of my savings because i am liquidating before time; i think its unfair to lose 35% of my own money simply because i called for it earlier when i would also be losing the interest earned already. its like i have been working for them. my question is what can i do - obviously they have been getting away with it before now. when i was marketed i was made to believe that should the unforeseen happen and i need to terminate the investment; i would forfeit my interest and an administration costs portion would be taken from the principal savings which although was unwritten; i guessed should not be more than 10%. having invested the money for 2 years, do i still have to bear a loss of 35%?. i assure you its not stated in their policy that termination before expiration of 5 years would be subject to any ex-gratia. kindly advise . thanks. i am made to understand that unless i accept the calculations; i would not be paid so i am being held hostage. i tried to negotiate that if i pay up the monthly premiuns to make it up to what it should be for 3-4 years, can i then get at least 90% of my investmetn but the answer is no. thanks. peaceland
