She may truly need help, but people will not take her serious since she's fond of dramas

LUAN:
no job, I'm into air-conditioning repairs And installation for now, also does solar installation, frontend development. Base in akwa ibom

I hope you're not catching cruise.
Start by erasing all negative dreams or thoughts from your mind, that's what it bringing you down. Always think positive of yourself hoping all you lay your hands on will boom and anytime negative thought want to set in rebuke it strongly ( I don't know your religion).
Another thing you have to do is change your circle, try and move with serious minded and hardworking people especially those with high intellect (there are plenty artisans like that). Don't forget to upgrade yourself in your line of work and learn new things daily.
As you do this, give yourself reasonable goals to achieve then tick as you progress and if you're progressing check where the problem is from. Keep trying and keep trying until you reach where you're going but don't ever think low of yourself or have premonition you can't make it. I believe in you.

ManWater:
There are instances where failure to simply say "Please" or "Sorry" has caused avoidable trouble & even loss of lives.

Wrong approach may not be the case here, but if it is, all she needs to do is apologise & adopt a more courteous approach.

Did you read where she mentioned she was his customer, that is temporarily minus one customer for him, besides you can't be so sure she didn't approach him with a soft tone. From her narrative which might be true to some extent, she was becoming angry when he began to post her. Sending someone's money doesn't take a minute.

ManWater:
Hope the issue is not from your approach. Remember it's your carelessness that caused the problem.

No matter the approach, it was never his money so why hold on to it, let's call a spade a spade pls.
If her approach was wrong she can as well reply her rudely and send the money back shikena.

Adonispco:
You are right am trying to establish a business of my own so i dont have such money luxury.

I'm not trying to judge you but you still have a lot to learn about life while struggling to be a man. If I'm right, before they could accuse you, you must've been giving the children food before, who send you. Learn to mind your business in that house till you're able to afford a more convenient place, even if you rent a more comfortable place, you still need to mind your business. That's all I have to tell you.
The accusation part, rest you don't have to bother yourself hiring police or lawyer unless the issue is becoming serious but if na those kind beer parlor and gossip talks, just let it slide and face your life. Let it be a drive that will energize you to achieve your goals in life.
Time heals.

FEGEITOK:
Soon after that post as I always do, I decided to find out why do storage tanks fail.

The results I found were more attuned towards the oil industry but the lessons can be applicable to water tanks.

Yes you are right. Corrosion was the first on the list.

I am not sure those who build tanks as a general rule teach the owners of those tanks that fighting corrosion is the responsibility of the tank stand owner and not the tank stand builder.

And not being aware that one is supposed to fight corrosion is not an acceptable excuse before the law, it is rather evidence of negligence on the part of the tank stand owner. He ought to know that a tank stand is dangerous thing and need to be managed.

So the fault of the failure of tank stands in Nigeria is a fault of the owner of the tank stand in cases of corrosion and poor maintenance and maybe the fault of the builder in cases of improper construction.

There are other reasons which are included in the screenshot.

This is one reason why I try to educate myself on anything I engage a contractor on. Lest I get into trouble because I did not know what I ought to have known. This is another reason to engage engineers that don't have a bossy attitude and that don't just want money to change hands but can discuss implications with those giving them jobs.

Those days tank stands are made with concrete slabs and we never heard of collapse like this. Is it cost that made people abandon it cos I don't get

Eriokanmi:
obviously, you didn't read my earlier post. You just made sense by saying the place where your gen would be must be well ventilator. I only tried to sensitize people here on the need to get some education and necessary training before delving into gas usage with their gen, I was not outrightly condemning the initiative.

How many people are as informed as you are? It's not enough to just delve into it without knowing the nitty-gritty of it. You mentioned diffusion so, you seem to be enlightened. I'm sure you must have heard people burn to death by the spark from their generator, positioned close to their homes while the fumes of their I pass my neigbours gen had killed many and the trend never stops.

The onus is on those advertising the gas carburettor to also enlighten potential users, not just marketing it to millions of gullible customers and rake in money while they watch them go into their early graves cos of negligence. Overseas or in countries where they care for their people, people adversity a thing like this could be arrested for not first sensitising people on what they sell before reeling it out. This is Nigeria. Nobody cares, no regulations, nothing in place.

That said...Gas isn't safer than petrol. Who told you it is? I'm a scientist and I do know.this. it's also related to my field in the oil and gas system where we have actively been managing hazardous systems for over 10 years now via the IIoT.

My aim is not to argue with you but to dissect the information so people can understand the topic. The simple explanation we're trying to justify is that Petrol usage is much more prone to accidental discharge/leakage/explosion/burns than LPG. But aftermath of such accidents is more severe and fatal when LPG is involved than Petrol and this is what you're banking on which is indirectly misleading.

Eriokanmi:
True, millions of Nigerians cook with gas. When you cook with your gas, the moment you strike the burner, fire comes out and gas begins to release flames that would cook your stuffs. At times, there could be a delay in igniting your gas, during which some qty of gas would have escaped into the air. The moment fire is released, it travels to all the areas where the gas had reached during the delay in striking fire and it consumes all the leaked or escaped gas and everything will be fine. In the case of connecting gas hose to your generator, when there's a leakage, you don't see or notice it on time for 2 reasons:

One, the generator wont be close the way the cooking gas burner is, to you at home. Secondly, there's no immediate release of fire that would consume all the leaked or escaped gas, when turned on. Users of a gas-powered gen wont notice these leakages early enough, until it extends to the neighborhoods. Once there's a release of fire from either the gen via it's exhaust or by someone in the neighborhood, you already know what would happen. I did not condemn the idea but its comes with a high risk. This is why training is necessary

Do you know what 'Diffusion' means. Go and read that and come back to edit your comment. That's what GAZZUZZ was trying to explain in lay man's language.
Do you know that a small spark from switching on the bulb in your kitchen can ignite the leakage of gas in your kitchen and everywhere and everybody go turn fried. Anytime you discover leakage in you home, the first and only vital thing to do is to ventilate. Now outside where the generator will be used must have enough of free air to dissipate the fumes from the generator as well as if there's a leakage. So using gas in an open atmosphere is the safest practice except there are other unhealthy conditions which you're not telling us.

GAZZUZZ:
when you keep a cylinder out doors, the vapour is dispersed and cannot collect. It is not even possible for it to ignite unless there is a fire and a large leak at the same time.

Generators are not naked flames, where is the fire coming from ?

You're doing too much shalaye, na teacher you suppose be because of your patience. I think those that need to be afraid of explosion are those using expired cylinders be it for generator or cooking. In all we do, personal safety standard should be employed. Peace.

You made me remember this experience when I was in the Uni. There is this neighbor who wouldn't let us hear anything with his condemned speakers whereas I had a new sound system that can deafen the whole house but will reduce it to lowest to maintain sanity. The day his craziness touch me head, I just went into my room and increased the volume of mine. Baba couldn't hear the music he was playing even inside his own room. He had to come beg me to come reduce volume cos his gf couldn't hear his music again but him. I just told him no one has monopoly to violence. Since that day, he stopped.

WATCHOVER:
I guess you don't understand that this allegations can't stand without his boss Buhari been invited.
Those allegations are presidential.
Tinubu's advisers just fvck up on this.

So you mean he couldn't sponsor terrorism without buhari or he need buhari permission to steal money, who be this self

WATCHOVER:
If you check all my years of being a commenter on Nairaland, I have always been factual not sentimental.
Government is not run successfully by emotions, just like the way Buhari did that cost his government. Tinubu doing same just because the man never supported his election and I would not be surprised if EFCC boss is being arrested.
Tinubu is turning regional which will definitely destroy his government fast than that of Buhari.

I think you're the one being emotional here. Why on earth will any sane Nigerian pity it's politician. If they like let them kill themselves as them no dey get mercy for us. Besides, allegations against him are heavy ones so if he needs to be investigated let him be. International communities are watching, if there is any form of witch hunting we go hear. But make him go write statement first, after all him don chop. About the EFcc, you must've read about different petitions against him too, so don't be surprised if he's also arrested. You can't know more than those at the helm of affairs of government. They have access to informations , detailed reports etc.

The previous thread:
https://www.nairaland.com/7713767/udensi-ngozi-opemipo-missing-seen#123550647

I'd like to use this medium to appreciate everyone who empathize with us, those who prayed with us and those who called me from this forum without knowing who I am to offer some valuable advice which partly contributed to her returning back home yesterday on her own volition.

My sincere appreciation goes out to Seun Osewa who swiftly swung into action by moving the thread to the Frontpage immediately after I contacted him.

And to that wonderful journalist who contacted me from The Punch News, they offered to publish it and use their connection to contact the Lagos CP to expedite action on my niece's search.

Lastly to those set of people who's got warped mindset, always thinking every little girl we have in Nigeria are wayward, well, it's not really your fault because if you know how brilliant my niece is, you wouldn't doubt her purity at such tender age. I read so many unruly comments here, but decided to ignore majority of them because I believe it's almost impossible for a brilliant little girl like her, who had near perfect WAEC result at one sitting, and also scored over 300 in JAMB to be wayward at the same time. If you have her as your sister or daughter would you ever have the thought of waywardness towards her?

She had a quarrel with her aunt while her mom was at work, so she decided to punish everybody according to her by leaving the house for them.

She'd initially planned to seize the opportunity to visit her paternal grand parent in Imo state, but on getting to the park, she couldn't afford the fare, she had to go visit her friend somewhere in Ijegun, Lagos instead of heading back to Bariga. I believed her because the tracking result we got from the private tracking guy we employed showed exactly the same thing she'd earlier narrated.

Up until now I never knew there was a tracking system that gives precise location, the street name, the house number, even to the room you're, this tracking system is so effective and powerful to the point of tracking mobile number even when it's switched off.

Now, I was wondering why can't FG use same or better technology to combat insurgency in Nigeria?

So cutting the long story short, we decided to send her a text msg containing those information we gathered about her whereabout and she knew the game was up and decided to call her aunt, then her mom to inform them she was heading home already.

We're happy and glorify God for her safety. Thanks and God bless you all.

Thank God for her safety. You're stressing yourself because of some under 16s who have unauthorized access to smartphones. It's better you ignore them.

What is a fiancee? If you say wife now, I can still give you 50% go ahead so far you know hers and she's very supportive so you can both plan well for future. Even at that you must create some extra source of income to avoid see finish. There is this adage I will try translate( A man must always have extra for emergencies if you want your woman to respect you).
You can disclose but try get some side hustles that can bring some change, save that as security or for plan B in case of unforseen.

Once I saw the topic, my mind quickly edited it to 'how I embarrassed myself' and after opening the thread, I wasn't wrong. Though I'm a man but no matter who take me out or offer me anything, I will never buy more that I can afford to pay. I remember an instance last year, I complained of hunger in my office and a friend offered to take me to a newly opened restaurant, we got there and I ordered what could satisfy me, Omo as I was about to finish eating they brought bill and the guy was like he never expected the bill will be this much. I would've paid in full without asking him for a dime but he already boasted he's taking me out so I allowed him bring what he has and he faked one call and Japa. Shebi na me eat. I asked for POS and settled the remaining bill as I had little cash on me. Now imagine if I'd gone there empty handed. Na to begin wash plate remain.

Artemis444:
Won't they need OTP or PIN or card info? Could be insider work.

I'm not ruling that out but it seems you're not getting my point. I'm trying to say, if possible try and get the app, that will rule out some one else somewhere creating an account on the app on your behalf.
This scenario is similar to celebrities that doesn't have social media accounts. Scammers will definitely create one in their name and use it to scam people. Hope you understand now.

No be only zenith bank, that's how a fatherly figure lost a huge amount last year, what this scammer did was to open a mobile app on his behalf as he doesn't do transfer whether through USSD or Mobile banking. Guess an insider gave them hint. So they moved the money in bits of less than 50k at a time to these non traceable accounts without BVN.
So know this and know peace, if you have smartphone and fail to utilize mobile banking, one day these guys will create it on your behalf and help you move funds.

I have an entirely different view concerning this topic. I'm more concerned about the long distance in your relationship than the salary/stipend issue. With her complaints/rants it's obvious she's not contended with what she's getting from the relationship (use your nos 6 to expantiate) . The probability she's looking elsewhere is high. Mind you the salary thing will never make her stay but will be like her benefit/pension upon retirement from your union.

Just like someone said above, if a 40 years old is bringing such a fragile issue to the internet then he deserve the kind of response he's getting from kids and adolescents who are opportuned to have a smartphone. At you age you should know there are consequences to every action and must be ready to accept them. You've gone too far already because 3kids is not a joke and if that woman happens to be your sister will you advise her to fold her arms and look.
Another question for you. Suppose the lady you now want to marry is going around with three kids, will you still go ahead with the marriage plans?
So you need to sit and look at things from her angle.

The mere utterances of standing by her in terms of bills doesn't hold water abeg.

If you are financially bouyant to settle her for life ( I mean if you can offer her money or properties than will earn her reasonable income to take care of the children as we all know how the economy is lately) then do it but don't throw it to her face maybe you go through an elderly person or a lawyer. Then make i commit that she won't come after you later. If not allow the sleeping dog lie, she will always see you like you spoil her life and want to move on. In all stay safe,

Had same issue on 3/3. Mistakenly transferred 16500 to a wrong account from Gtb to Firstbank.
The person happen to be my beneficiary and his details is right above the right beneficiary. I must have done business with him before but must be close to a decade so he's part of my beneficiary. The total amount was 36500. Cos of network ish then, I split the transaction into two. 20,000 and 16500. So the 20k went to the right account but 16500 went to the wrong account. Funny enough the 20k which went to the right account got reversed but the 16500 that went to the wrong account was successful. I made official complaint same day at my bank GTB despite the stress. Till this moment I've not heard from Gtbank. Luckily I was later able to reach the receiver and he refunded me.

Neweramify:
Op your wife was wrong, but try and understand her fear. Most women feel inconvenient around their mother inlaw. Not because she hates her mother inlaw but for the fear of the unknown.

Let her know how you feel knowing she wanna bring her mum in when she rejected your mum. I'm sure she will feel remorse of her action.

Permit her to bring her mum, cause if anything happen to the old woman, she may accuse you of one thing or the other.

This gender sha, see how you cornered the innocent man. Read your comment again and see if it's fair. Well, it's always good to know that no one has monopoly to violence.

before he built the one at Abere there was one at post office and another one before onward (the complex Aregbe demolished to build the market), Baba Akande only built the one at Abere to house the different ministries at a position

Are you sure you're from Osun or know anything about Osun state? If I may ask, what was now Government house annex at okefia used for then?

I am gradually falling into depression and I am 5months pregnant.

I have a brother I love so much. We are just 2 and I am older than him. Honestly this boy has taken advantage of being the only son to be extremely misbehaving. With the little money I am making from my business, I have tried several times to set up a business for this boy. My daddy has sold all his land just to see this boy grow but he always end up squandering everything on drug. He has been to psychiatric hospital on 2 different occasions and I was the one that paid for every dime spent there. He has a girlfriend that is just like him, very rude, mannerless and nasty. She has unapologetically insulted everyone including my parents. My brother is 32years and has lived with me several times before getting an apartment.

So recently a prophet told my dad to get him a wife and he will never misbehave again and can also start giving birth. My brother insisted on marrying his girlfriend which everyone was against but my dad just have to do it. My poor dad spent his hard earned money on the marriage rite and paying for their apartment, the girl got pregnant. I promised to buy all the baby things they will be needing. For the past 6 months, my 75yrs old father has not been working and feeling well. I have been the one taking care of all his responsibilities both feeding and medicals. My dad will always call to report my brother wife to me that the girl is always asking him money in very rude manner. At a time, I told my dad to stop picking her calls. Last year Nov, my brother asked me for 200k which I told him I don't have because the 1m I gave him before was wasted.

So I invited my dad to lagos so I can take him to a good hospital and my brother and his wife came to visit him. After much talk, I told her to never call my dad and ask him money again because the man is no longer working and sick. She said she has not been asking my daddy money.
I asked her if she's calling my daddy a liar and she said yes my daddy is a bloody liar and I am so stupid to believe what my daddy told me. I told her to leave my house and she started screaming and abusing me. My brother stood there and also joined her abusing me telling me that if I can't accept his wife then I should forget about him. The wife refuse to go, she told me to do my worst. Thank God for neighbours that intervene before she left.

It's been 3 months I ended every relationship between me and my brother. Now my parents is calling me that I should make peace with my brother. My mother has been supporting my brother and show it clear to me that he's more important than me despite everything I am doing for her. She has been the one pushing my dad to tell me to call my brother and make peace with him. I told my father I can never do it and both me and my kids will never have anything to do with his son and his family again. I love my father so much and I have noticed he don't pick my calls again like before. Honestly I wish I have the mind to block all of them and just concentrate on my life and kids. But I can't just forget my father like that and I can never beg my junior brother too. I don't just know what to do

They are telling me he's a man and I shouldn't expect him to beg rather I should be the one to beg him

Print this, frame it and hang it on the wall of your room " Your sanity and peace of mind comes first in anything you do".
You see all this brother, sister, mummy, daddy thing, don't let anyone blackmail you emotionally. May your parents live long but they won't always be around forever. Draw your limits. Try and reconcile with your brother (not beg). Infact during the reconciliation make your points know like you will do anything to help if it's within your capacity as everyone have their personal responsibility.

As for your parents, you need to be patient with them, one thing your father want is peace. Make peace with everyone but that doesn't mean you grant all their request against your convenience

Above all pray for God's guidance.

it’s illegal to do so if not for d banana brains of the occupants of the banana republic how can illegality suffice for legality..

We play a lot in this country, for the guy to come out here, he must be tired and that's where depression and frustration sets in.
As for you @OP, I don't know what led you to loan sharks or why you're unable to meet up with their payment but one thing I'm sure of is that tomorrow is pregnant and as you're broke today you might be a billionaire in the next few weeks or months so calm down and face your fears. Pick their call if you can and explain why you couldn't meet up and ask for more time(everybody know the country dey somehow) but if the agent act nonchalant and the pressure is becoming unbearable. For your sanity install Truecaller and block all spam calls and messages.
Immediately you raise some cash, be truthful to yourself, contact them and ask them to review your accumulated overdue charges so you can pay off and make the payment in bits like that till it's full.
Make it a priority in your mind that you must pay back but don't let them frustrate you.
I wish you luck.

Just like someone said up there, this is 21st century so you may need to try both good wife and in-laws.
The meaning is that in those days even a 70 years old man or woman will still listen to his or her parents. Parents too far self, elder brother or sister with even small age difference of 5 years respect the elderly ones so much that siblings follow elders instructions without thinking twice.
This means even if the wife has bad characters, the husband can easily approach any of the in-laws to guide the wife properly.
Let me add an example from personal experience.
I've met a woman in her fifties complaining (I don't want to use regretting) about her marriage to a man who fathered her 4 children that she shouldn't have married him if not for her elders who insisted she marry her despite some red flags all because the man is from a reputable family. Even when this man impregnated another woman just few years into their marriage, the family of the woman insisted she must stay.
But now things are changing, you might want to consider both good wife as well as family cos children of nowadays no longer listen to parents.

Buying or considering replacing your traditional windows with casement windows, these guides may be advantageous to you as a nairalander or a non nairalander.



We are all here to learn and reading this article now will give you an insight to some important things about Casement window which is one of the best most popular modern type of windows in World, other types of windows includes basement, bay, awning and louvers windows.



So let get started, let us share our ideals and experience as well.



Awning windows and Basement windows also look like casement windows but they are partially different in terms of installation but louvers windows are entirely different from all.



Casement windows are one the most made of aluminum windows in the world.



In Nigeria we have different companies importing these products for making of these windows by the process called fabricating.



Nigalex is the one of the most expensive follow by the tower aluminum, then there are imported ones many windows fabricators call tower standard but not tower just the standard of what tower produce locally, majority are from china but they have standard of tower quality, you know what I mean, Nigeria are not mining iron ore at ajaokuta talk more of mining aluminum, all this materials are imported, apart from woods for roofing, blocks for building, Coleman wire produce in Nigeria, there are few others building materials Nigeria produces.



The standard glass thickness for residential building is 5mm, you can choose to have a transparent glass, black, white or cream but all of this is a choice, but for security purpose the best one is the type that you can see people outside when you are inside in the afternoon or morning, but they can’t see you, they will only be looking at themselves as if it was a mirror they are seeing and in the night they can hardly see what is inside even when the light is on in the night expect the person is as close to the window as skin is closer to the bones in our body.



Casement windows are usually hung vertically with an opening window hinged from the left or right side of the frame. The opener can be inward or outward, but is more commonly installed with the opening element moving in an outward motion. Windows which open inwardly are usually seen in residential apartments or buildings where security and safety are an issue of concern or paramount.



Due to the simple construction and stout, ruggedness, staunch and sturdy frame, casement windows are known to stand the test of time, compare to all major types of windows, without repairs or replacement.



The Crank is the controller locker of the opening and closing of the window unit, if the crank is not well fix or attach, or the material use is not standard, then the crank is likely to fail at a very short time.



The biggest market for these casement windows products is at Aluminum Village, Dopemu close to Egbeda in Lagos, Nigeria.



Casement windows can be embedded with net, and burglary so there is no need of doing a separate burglary proof or net, when you are considering casement windows for your project, though there are some people that love to have their casement windows and net embedded together while they do a separate burglary that will be install separately but at the end you will end up spending more money than you need to spend on a single window that will have a casement, burglary and net embedded together.



If you are considering the casement, burglary and net embedded in the iron rod that will be use inside the burglary pipe is 16mm.



Important things to consider are Reasonable Price, Efficiency, Zero Noise Cancellation, Available in Different Designs and Color, Ventilation.



Reasonable Price

Casement windows are one of the best priced windows types, I can categorically tell you that a casement windows measuring 4ft x 4ft or 1.2m x 1.2m with burglary and net embedded together is around N45k to N50k without burglary is N35k to N40k plus, designs applies





Efficiency

Casement windows are one of the most energy efficient windows, the sash which is the framework in which panes of glass are set in the window, when closed form a seal around the entire windows frame, reducing or zero cancelling the amount of Air Leakage which can pass between the inside and the outside space, so your air conditioners can attach uppermost coolest of the inside house.





Zero Noise Cancellation

Zero Noise penetration or cancellation from the outside space is another added value for you when you install a casement windows, so whatever you are saying inside your room will not leak outside and whatever noise outside can’t come inside especially when you leave beside a church or a mosque, please remember I’m an Atheist, lol.



Available in Different Designs and Color

Casement windows is available in various variety of finishes and colors designs with range of accessories such as chrome, vinyl or brass crank handles, you can also add a range of optional extra such as surface grills and lead grills this makes the casement windows more attractive to the eye and less plain looking like sliding windows.





Ventilation

Casement windows provide good ventilation and usually allow two way ventilation methods, one which allows you to open the windows full.

Nice write up Sir but I don't think 45k to 50k can do a well reinforced (with 16mm rod) 1200*1200 window with a strong material and 5mm glazing. Kindly adjust your price range so your readers can be well informed. A potential client once sent me windows pictures with aliminium burglary without rods inside. That's tantamount to sleeping outside IMO. Regards.

sayoddy:
Pls scholars, help me (though, it was given to my son but I'm the one cracking brain �) solve this with explanation . It must be submitted on Monday

A 91
B 80**
C 292
D 339
E 17
F 42.5
G 71
H 84
I 8.0
J 7.5

From the example
Let the first, second and third figures be represented by a, b and c respectively

The first figure a = 66
The second B= a+x
72 = 66+ x
Subtract 66 from both sides
X = 72-66= 6
The third figure C = b+x+1 = a+x+x+1
Check: 79= 72+6+1= 66+6+6+1.

To find any figure we will make use of this general formula
C = b+x+1 = a+x+x+1
Where X= b-a or c-b-1

To the questions
A) The missing alphabet is in the position c = b+x+1 or a+x+x+1
To find x = b-a = 54-18 = 36
C = b + x+1 = 54+36+1= 91


Question (B)
B is in first position which is a
To find x without knowing a
X= c-b-1
=42-62-1
=42-63
X=-18
Since b=a+x
62= a+(-18)
62= a-18
62-(-18)= a
62+18= a
a =80
Therefore question B which is in first position =80
Question c is in second position b
To find x without knowing b
C=a+x+x+1
365=220+x+x+1
365=221+2x
2x= 365-221
2x= 144
x=72
To find b
b=a+x
= 220+72
=292
Question c = 292

Question D is in the third position c
a=250
b=a+x
294= 250+x
x= 294-250= 44

c= b+x+1
= 294+44+1
= 339
Question D is 339

Question E is in the first position a
To find x without knowing a
C= b+x+1
44= 30+x+1
44=31+x
x=44-31=13
Now b=a+x
30= a+13
a=30-13
=17
Question E=17

Question F which is in the second position b
To find x without b
c= a+x+x+1
56=30+x+x+1
56=31+2x
2x=56-31
2x=25
x=12.5
b=a+x

Please guys I need your help.
@mod pls help me move to appropriate section.

I am confuse, needs advice on what step to take next.

The whole thing begins on 25th July when i had unprotected sex with my bf. before then my last period came on the 17th of July. so i had sex just about a week after.

Since then uptil now i have not seen my period. Initially I worried i may be pregnant but after several urine and blood test it all turns out negetive. what could be wrong here? This is the first time i am experiencing this.

I have done 4 test myself using pt test strips. but all came negative. Yesterday I went to a private lab an de used my blood and urine sample for pregnancy test, it still came out negative.

Abeg any medical expert or any one with past experience should assist with advice on next step please.

Note, my boyfriend is aware of the whole situation. he himself is confused. plus I am 23 yrs old just incase my age will aid in the diagnosis.

I suspect uncontrolled contraceptive usage. If you're innocent ask your lover. If you're too worried, visit hospital and let your doctor run tests.

Is it a crime to be honest in this country ? Referencing to the post I saw here yesterday.

I had my own share too, though it's long but I need your advice.

The episode started when the Suffocating and comprehensive ASUU strike is becoming more elongated.

My mum discussed with her boss if I can be working with them depending when ASUU will call off their strike.

Fortunately, they affirmed to my mum's request and I was employed to work as a secretary.

Note: They are both husband and wife running the organization.

My role is to write receipt for all payments entering the organization account, write and ensure all the payments of the day are updated before the next day.

As a result of the nature of my work, this give me access to the boss office as I may need some things to take there. Even if other staff want to access the office, they will inform me first, then I will collect the key and give them whatever they need in the office.

Things was going smoothly until a fateful Friday I was accused of stealing.

The scenario happened like this.

As the secretary of the organization, I do resume work by 7:30am and close by 5:pm.

Apart from the cleaners that tidy the compound. In most cases, I'm the last person that leaves the office. And whenever I'm leaving, I collect the key to the office and park the bags of the boss and his wife into their car, check whether they bought something and ensure everything is placed in their car.

That fateful day, as usual, His wife wasn't around, then I look for the husband to collect the office key and he told me that the office is opened. With no further delay, I moved into the office and carried their bags. As I was going, he stopped me and check the bag. He claimed that inside the bag, where he packed money, the money has been rough handled and the nylon bag that housed the money was found tore.

Then pandemonium began. He insisted that a person has accessed the money and I was the only person that has the privilege to enter the office. I was troubled and confused. My perplexity was so high that I don't even know what to say.

I tried to explain to the best of my knowledge. I tried my best to exonerate myself that I knew nothing about the money. I told everyone that I met the office opened and I ain't aware that the office was opened. Most times, if I see the office ain't closed. I will close it because it's close to my office. But on this day no one to bear me withness. Every odds look against me. We left there around to 5:30pm that day.

I even told my boss that he should count the money that I don't perceive anyone entering the office. But he kept saying that he didn't know the amount he put there and he can't give the precise amount that has been stolen.

Beforehand, I noticed that the environment is full of jealousy. The staff jealous themselves. They envy each other and there are lots of faction within the organization. To be on a safer side. I didn't join any caucus or faction. I play my role diligently and discharge my duty responsibly. I don't do favouritism as I make myself to be honest in all things. There are many evil things that I'm aware of that goes underground but I don't interfer in it or report it except the bosses know by themselves. With my altitude, well with this I thought, I was loved by the boss and his wife.

When I got home, I wept profusely because no one to bear me withness, everyone seems I'm the thief.

I explained to my mum what happened because she has left earlier. She pacified me and said. If I'm not guilty of the stealing, nothing will happen to me and they should use whatever they want to use to look for their money.

On Monday we resume back to work. What happened on Friday kept pondering my heart, the wound hasn't been healed yet another mysterious thing happened again.

My own office is at the front of the boss office. My table and chair are placed there but it doesn't look privately. It looks like a reception before entering the main office. I got to my office next day to find that #3,600 has been smuggled into my drawer.

Chaiii! No one to bear me withness again about the money I saw. All things look like I was the one that stole the money, and just hiding under the guise of innocency.

I was extremely perplexed, different thought were ruminating my mind. One thought said if you give them the money they will say you are lying that you just kept it there. Another thought said, who knows, perhaps they are putting you under integrity test. Well! I carried the money, luckily the wife was around and I explained how I saw the money and handed it over to her.

When the husband came, she told him exactly what I reported to her and the husband responded, he might be the money they stole on Friday. He continues, definitely the thieves has returned the money as a result of their actions on Friday.

The matter dies there and no one ever made reference to it again until today when the boss (he) asked me to prepare a bill for a customer.
I've done that already and also listening to him and the customer while they were conversing. In a nut shell. I heard the customer telling him that he wants another bills too. Therefore I was preparing that too, unknowingly as I was preparing it, I have covered the first bills with lot of books on my table. As the boss arrived, he requested for the first bill he asked me to prepare. Unfortunately, it's no where to be found again, �‍♂️. I tried to explain to him that I was also preparing other bills the woman mentioned. I think that was the only mistake I made thinking that would make the work faster for the woman to collect the bills.

All of a sudden, I noticed that he has been seethe with anger. He shouted at me that I don't have regards for him, he said, he asked me to do something but I'm doing otherwise. Before I could utter any statement to clear myself out. Everything has already scatter, he remained deaf to whatever I wanted to say. He insisted that I'm not working with them again, he chased me out like a dog that I have to go back to take my phone.

Amongst all the turbulence, I kept begging him. I prostrated on the floor to show that I'm sorry. But he didn't even looked at me.

For the sake of my mother. I don't want to do anything that would affect her relationship with her bosses, I would have said. I'm not working again and not even bother to beg.

To cut it short. His wife signaled to me to meet an erderly man close to the place, possibly he might listen to his pleas. I did as instructed by his wife, "God bless that woman" The erderly man followed me but another thing bursted. He said apart from this, that he can't employ somebody that he doesn't trust. He made it known to the erderly man that I'm not trustworthy using the past money that was stolen as a case of study.

That moment, tears began to roll down from my face. I didn't know what to say in the midst of everyone. Everyone was just saying, please forgive him, he will change, he won't do that again. I looked at myself and said this is humiliation of the highest order. If I take any step, it might affect my mum too and lead to the termination of her appointment. I don't want her to be traumatized.

I remained calm and crying bitterly. Well! he accepted the elderly man plea for me and they concluded that this is yellow card, that if I do anything bad again, they will resort by giving me red card.
Since ASUU is still on strike now and there's no way I can say I'm leaving there without having implication on my mum employment. Who knows, what will happen next that might get me roped and I will be given red card couple with humiliation. I want men with wisdom to advice me on how I can justify my resignation peacefully.
I don't want anything to backfire on my mum. I don't want her to be traumatized and I don't want them to transfer their aggression on her.

I just want to leave there peacefully because I can't see myself working there again. Even all these things was written with my unbalanced emotions. I know I have been traumatized and accused falsely but I believe I will bounce back strongly and soon or sooner God will revealed the perpetrator in Jesus name.���.

I will be glad if this can be moved to front page.

Firstly, let me say God bless you for staying humble and showing you were brought up well. I'm sure your mother is proud of you.
The truth of your matter is that, we are in a jungle, you need to brace up as a man, not because of today. I'm sure God is using this to prepare you for the future because I believe in God that you'll be great.
Don't see envy, hatred as an obstacle, instead see it as an avenue to better yourself.
Make sure you guard against anything that might implicate you, I want to believe your drawer should have a key, because if money is found in your bag or drawer or something personal to you, it may be a very difficult case to defend so try and be security conscious, from your explanation your oppressors are not smarter than you, you are only negligent and that gives them edge.
Never stop being straight and truthful but don't loose guard. You need to be more rugged mentally.

Lastly, may I ask why you opt for working for some change instead of acquiring skills?. I see young people opting for sales job as unserious and toying with their future. You may give excuses being finances but this is the right time to make sacrifices for your future. Look for something you have passion for and acquire the skill.
God bless you
