Very useless man. Deceived Nigerians by pretending to be a comrade as NLC president. He showed his true colour when he joined politics
This one really pain me oo.. never trust anyone ... it is all man for himself..

All his gra gra during OBJ's tenure.. little did we know alaye was paving his own way while pretending to fight for the little guys... he pretended to be taking on the big guys (the government) for the little guys (the masses).. but was busy cultivating his own political part way.. chain angry cry

I like how ManUtd are playing now.. the players seems to be enjoying themselves, having lots of freedom for individual creativity ..

Amorim's regime was more stringent.. the players didn't seem to be enjoying themselves..

For people who think China will defeat USA in our lifetime, kindly check out the number of Chinese companies on the list then compare them with the US companies.

You will calm yourself down
When you dig deeper .. check who owns the majority of shares in many of those U.S companies..
PoliticsRe: Tax Bills: We Don’t Know What Was Passed’- Gov. Makinde by Badgers14: 9:33am On Jan 26
I said this at the beginning before the law was even passed..

Everything in 9ja is just jaga jaga even the ones that have prospect of helping and stabilizing the economy.. BVN, jaga jaga, NIN implementation Jaga jaga.. new passport jaga jaga..

The most embarrassing one is the tax law.. tax law was passed and signed into law and not even the people that passed the law know which version was gazetted ? grin grin

Our economy is supposed to be robust but look at us.. Norway's sovereign fund (funded by their oil money) is worth more than $2trn.. Nigeria started pumping and selling oil in large quantities before Norway.. for us, once any ounce of oil is discovered somewhere.. the oil block is sold and the money embelzelled.. on to the next one.. thats very shameful..

When are we going to get this right in this country?
BusinessRe: Business Names Vs Trademark Registration: Lessons From The “Ratel” Drama by Badgers14: 1:30pm On Jan 23
do4luv14:
You are right,
Thing is that I don't think there was/is a publication made to that affect, and Blood doesn't have a right to issue cease and desist order on VDM

Secondly knowing our country as it is, something might had been done for that Blord trademark to be approved,

And as the poster rightly said, Blord own is more like fintech, different from that of VDM,
It's the Trademark office that needs to publish and clarify these situation involving both,

Again Blord had no right to order cease and desist on VDM

My 2cents on the matter
The cease and desist letter might be just for him to trend/a PR stunt...

Recall, cease and desist letter is not usually actionable.. but again anyone with a filing fee can file a lawsuit.. but again, what will be the remedy??
BusinessRe: Business Names Vs Trademark Registration: Lessons From The “Ratel” Drama by Badgers14: 1:03pm On Jan 23
ArcFresky:
You didn’t read and understand.
BLORD did a trademark, Yes but under the Financial Class.
VDM did his, under a different class.

So what OP states is, Names can coexist under different classes.


So the main question is, What classes hold the trademark Ratel.
I dont think trademark works like that.. why? To avoid confusion..

Just so you know, I am not taking sides ooo.. grin. ,

personally I don't think thier online feud is real... I just pity folks online carrying the issue on their head like gala..


I think eventually 2 of them will work together on projects and make more money.. this online brouhaha is giving 2 of them the online exposure they want for their different trades..

BusinessRe: Business Names Vs Trademark Registration: Lessons From The “Ratel” Drama by Badgers14: 10:35am On Jan 23
Namaster:
GREAT piece!

Addresses the CORE issues.

The idea that somebody that registered a Trademark this year has rights that SUPERCEDES that of a person using that name to run a LEGITIMATE BUSINESS since the previous year is RIDICULOUS.

He registered the TM of an active business and immediately issued a CEASE and DESIST.
That's how you'll know a person with TOO MUCH money and NOT ENOUGH sense.

There is the issue of COMMON LAW TM RIGHTS.
And then there is the issue of CLASS, i.e whether both businesses are using the same name within the same INDUSTRY.

Great thing about this is VDM is NOT a pooooosey that'll CAPITULATE without a fight.
If Blord registered the trademark and it was "Approved".. case closed.. non of these things you are saying matters..

Typically before trademarks are approved, theres usually a publication.. the idea is for anyone that have objection to speak up , like if the registration would violate their own business interest..

And the trademark office usually do their own research as well.. to avoid legal jeopardy..



Also, most people dont even know VDM's real name, they just know VDM/Verydarkman.. likewise most people dont know him by ratel movement, they only know VDM.

Well, Denmark handed over the Virgin Islands to the US, so if Trump is really serious, they will have to give in to him sooner or later.
In 1917, Denmark "sold" the virgin Islands to the U.S for $25m in gold plus U.S recognition of Denmark's ownership of Greenland....2

RomanceRe: Does This Girl Actually Like Me Or Am I Overthinking? by Badgers14: 12:22am On Dec 14, 2025
AlphaBoy:
Nairaland, abeg help me judge this matter because I no wan deceive myself.

There’s this female friend of mine in school. We read together, buy snacks for each other, gist, and I usually walk her home after night class. Cool friendship, nothing serious… or so I thought.

But recently, she has been acting somehow:
One day she told me she feels blessed to have me and even called me her role model.
Anytime we finish reading late, she insists I must walk her home.

One night, she pointed at a bus stop and said she once saw a couple kissing there. Then she faced me and dropped this line: “It’s you that don’t want to love.”

If I ghost her small, na she go enter my DM first like, “You no wan talk to me again?”
And one day she directly asked me: “Why are you running from me?”

Make una no forget — I liked her initially but didn't want to push it yet , I don’t know if she’s catching feelings.

So nairalanders, make una talk true:
This girl like me abi she just dey whine me?
Or na me dey overthink am?
Yourself , you like her abi you no like her grin

Be dulling nah... very soon she go invite you to her wedding to come and set the canopy and share drinks.. grin

LeopardX:
Which conventional war Dem don fight before in the modern era?

Nevertheless, before US starts to 'enter' you, they will make sure their 'see finish' is complete, like they're doing to Russia through Ukraine.

Prayer of the new month: God abeg no let my enemies see me finish make my life no spoil.

USA don see Venezuela finish.
See ehn.. let me tell you something..

This is what China is doing (in my view).. China is more focused on economic warfare not military warfare.

Yes, they do have Nuclear weapon.. ✔️, they have other military high grade equipments etc.. but they dont use it, WHYhuh

One F -16 cost between $90m to $ 170m.

One Apache Helicopter cost about $ 50m..

Now, if China get into military conflicts with another country and lose one f16, thats more than 100m down the drain..

I am not adding the cost of ballistic missile etx..

Instead, what China does is use that 100 or 200m to open a business in that country or give them loan.. in that way.. when the country go rouge against them.. they will pull the rugs and collapse their economy..

China owns the highest U.S treasury bills.. owes many companies in the U.S.. China owes the most farm land in Texas ... while they are investing in other countries, they are "allegegdly "secretly collecting intelligence on those countries.

If U.S challenges them.. they will pull the rug economically on the U.S and the U.S will be backed into the corner... the citizens will start complaining about the economy and the government will be hesitant to go to war with their reserve, since there focus will be to restart the economy and attend to the angry citizens, so the U.S response will be on the weaker side and if they use their last strength to engage China, China will finish them off..

Smart strategy...

This is looking like it is going to be more messier than the BVN brouhaha..

I am a bit disappointed that the government is not doing enough to sensitize the public about this new rule.


I hope for a better Nigeria but why is the government making the system more complex?

We have NIN

We have BVN

And now Tax id,

(System is so porous, that they say online that non Nigerians can obtain these numbers with ease)

Why??

Kidnappers and bandits even have bank account.. how is the government using the already provided information to track them downhuh

Nigeria my country!!!!

I am not sure about the figure.. the contract might not be in trillions... but we know for sure theres a government contract to private citizen to secure the pipelines....

Why dont the government use that money to fortify our security agencies and have them do the job?

Improve the resources/equipment of the security operatives ... then ensure that the judiciary is truly independent and justice is dispensed swiftly to law breakers.

Yes, especially where wire theft is a big risk. But I would rather the do the wiring as soon as doors and windows are secured, prior to painting. I have had too many cases of wire theft, and most of the cases had to do with workers that were working at the site.
Thanks for the insight 👍
