Oh so he knew Herdsmen are attacking innocent Nigerians

And we should not revenge, so we will just siddon dey look?

Gerrahia

The rate Navy, civil defence, Army and police officers abuse citizens in this country ehh.. Puffing out their chests left and right tire me oo.

EgunMogaji:
Understood, but that’s why we have to fall back on data, not opinions.

I’ll submit links to data that supports my position shortly.

Hope the organization/company that complied the data were not sponsored by the NRA.

Well, I haven't seen any data and need not rely on one to make an informed decision.

I am a strong believer that gun ownership is not the solution. Tough gun laws isn't the solution either.

Check mass shootings vs homicides in Chicago, Baltimore, St. Louis , Milwaukee etc.

95% of all mass shooting "suspects" obtained their guns legally.. People aren't safe anymore, they shoot up churches, People's home,school, party, rallies like WTF.. Where is safe?

Homicides: the only for the lack of a better word "difference" btw legal and illegal gun crimes is that for the most part... The gangsters shot only their targets.. Rival gang members, drug deal gone bad etc. The vcitims so so see it coming..that's where every thug, drug dealer own a gun because that's like a tool or equipment they need to perform their job.

But legal gun owners shot up innocent people in churches, at the malls, concert, school etc.. The victims do not see it coming.

People are just fûcked up in the brain, People's mindset this days makes me wonder.... Some times when things happen.. Some will say oh devil entered inside the individual that's why they made poor decisions and did bad things. But Whats happening this days.. I think some people are so evil that the devil is even scared.. People are entering inside devil this days.

With all this demolitions left and right. I think the government is at fault 70percent of the time.

Most of all these buildings were approved by the government before the structures were erected. The same government will turn around and demolish it because it is illegal structure. But they approved it to be built in the first place??

Clueless government

EgunMogaji:
Crime can never be stopped. The US has reduced crime rate due to legally armed citizens.

The research data is out there if you care to be enlightened.

Do you think guns are cheap?

I respect your opinion but I vehemently disagree that gun ownership have reduced crime in the U.S.

Although this seems like a good idea but it needs to be managed well.

They need to list the criteria they consider as "Performing" so we know that any president or governor not meeting up to expectations is to be impeached. If not tribalism will set in.

Iffa hear

Stupidity.. Ridiculing the court system.

EFCC came to court to ask for forfeiture,

The NGO through its lawyer is blocking the application.

BUT neither EFCC nor the NGO knows if the building is demolished or not...

Ridiculous the judge could have dismissed the case or better yet adjourn the case sine dine.

Yeye people

A bit of irony that Nigerian Embassy is enforcing this in. Saudi Arabia, the Muslim capital of the world

but in Nigeria..... Infact

Mopricelezz:
Thanks for responding. I have read several articles that point to the fact that embassies are rejecting local government registry issued marriage certificates. Hence our reason for wanting to use a federal registry. Now I want to know if after the oath we can take the certificate or form given to get married in osun.

I highly doubt that embassies are rejecting a duly issued certificate from any local government in Nigeria.

That's sound almost laughable, When you get married according to Nigerian laws and you reside in Nigeria. You and your spouse obtains a certificate from the government office in Nigeria. No entity have a right or left to reject the said certificate. On what ground though?

I don't know the country you are "eyeing" or intend to travel to but for U.S, i know for a fact they don't tell you which registry to get married at and I have never heard the rejected a certificate from any registry unless it is fake. As long as you are in a bonafide relationship, you are married.. Nothing to worry about. Just go to any registry that's convenient for you and the people around you and do your thing.

If you have any more concern.. Ask the embassy of the country you intend to travel to.

I believe U.S even put a disclaimer on their website that they do not insist on only marriage certificate from Ikoyi.

You could also contact them via; LagosIV@state.gov.

Cheers!!

Mopricelezz:
Good morning, house please I need your help urgently. I want to have my wedding next month, I prefer to have a church wedding. We prefer to get our certificate from a federal registry (Ikoyi registry). I heard we are to give them 21 days notification, go in for oath taking before we can be given a certificate to take to a licensed church.

The main issue now is this, my parents are in osun state and the church is in osun, it is an Anglican church. If I do the processes up to oath taking in ikoyi registry, can we take the document from ikoyi registry to get married in a licensed church in osun. We are particular about ikoyi registry incase of travelling out of the country. Please help me out, I am very confused.

You don't have to go to Ikoyi. You can go to a registry in Osun state that is close to you.

U.S embassy for instance does not specifically require couples to go to Ikoyi or to go to any specific place for that matter.

The only thing i can tell you is, which ever local government you are going to, make sure they register your marriage officially and there's a document trail.

The only thing I could think of is why people go to Ikoyi if they are travelling out of the country is just incase the embassy want to verify if the certificate is real or not. Since most embassies are in V.I. it is easier for them to travel to Ikoyi than to travel somewhere in North East, or some Village in East or West to verify.

Not that they will not visit those places if they have a reason to believe that the certificate might not be real. Just that Ikoyi is not too far for them and the faster they can verify what they need to verify, the faster your case is proceessed (remember this is if they doubt the authenticity of the certificate).

Cheers!

Stop watching pörn, get yourself a job.

Do you have a job already?? Get another job and stay productive.

Which one is the driver?

Greetings my Ogas in the house.

I have been following many threads here in properties section and I enjoy seeing so many constructions going on and I wish everyone both the clients, the contractors and us onlookers good luck in all our endeavors.

But, while we embark on this construction journeys, I ask for us to be aware of site safety. I have seen pictures from different sites where workers are working without shoes(ten toes), in some sites workers are wearing bathroom slippers.

Abeg, site engineers, architects, contractors please lets try and reinforce workers safety on site. It starts with simple PPE.

Thank you!!!

LeonOgu:
Please chart me up on WhatsApp to make it easier for me sir

What's app does not support my phone anymore so i don't have access to it.

Could you please post the pictures on nairaland? Thanks.

LeonOgu:
You're welcome sir.Vatican Garden Estate Phase 1, is located behind Asaba Airport and 2nd Niger Bridge Road. The size is 600sqm.

Do you have pictures of the estate?

LeonOgu:
Selling

For the lands in Asaba, what's the exact location of the land? Also what's the land size?

RIP to the boy.

This accident highlights the importance of wearing seat belts. All passengers in a car should wear seat belts.. Please!!!

Stay Blessed

EgunMogaji:
I haven't gotten that far yet.

In USA the pump will be about $25 and the solar stuff maybe $150, I figured maybe half that for the cheap Chinese stuff in Nigeria.

One thing I want you guys to keep in mind, you can do battery power also and charge it by NEPA if you are in an area with reasonable light. You don't have to buy solar panels right away. You can buy inverter and battery and you're done. The pump uses very little energy. Unless you run a laundromat, how often do we turn on the tap in most homes? It's not a constant.

$25 for the pump? Where they sell that at, LOWES or Home Depot? Do you have pictures of what they look like so i can check it out in the store

EgunMogaji:
No stanchion, it’ll be directly placed on it. I’ve decided against elevated water tanks on my property for safety and will use pressure pump instead. There will be other tanks around the compound like this also.

You can set up a small solar power system for your pump so you don’t need NEPA.

Do you have any idea of how much the solar system + pressure pump will cost?

Like you, those high tank stand scares me.

What's the point of this?

Waste of resources.

He could have used the 640million to beef up police. This will go along way in training and procurement of equipment for the police force.

Capturing or killing the cult leader does not stop their boys from operating.

Also, if police is beefed up.. Companies will not have to pay insurance premium to these thugs.

kimbraa:
Dangerous marriage if I must say. 7 days after meeting...I'm sure it's out of likeness, not love but love grows with time. I hope it works out.

Sometimes this kind of quicky marriage do work. Back in the old days, some women didn't even see their husband until the day their bride price was paid. Not saying that's ideal but it happened.

Hello guys ,

Married my wife about 5yrs ago.

Initially she sleeps without snooring

Suddenly after putting to bed, she started snooring to the extent that I hardly sleep at night.

I don't want her to feel ashamed of this if I openly confront her.

Please I love her and would love to know how best to approach this issue.

It could be from how she lays her head. Try changing the location of the pillow or tell her to adjust her sleeping posture.

You could also invest in nose strips.

Also have a candid conversation with your wife not like You are yabbing her but let her know how you feel and the solutions that you have. Work it out together. She probably does not know and might even give you an idea on why she is snoring.

Again don't hurt her feelings but have a soul to soul conversation with your wife. Assure her that you will work with her to find solution to the issue.

Good luck.

What about the driver?

Starting off new years strong with a plan to build. Congrats.

I will suggest contacting some Nairalander architects that were nice enough to provide free sketch for your building projects. That will be the easiest way for you to get more positive response and to plan probably for your projects.

Otherwise you will get quotes from 10m to 50m ( did you notice the difference?).

So contact this Nairalanders, hopefully i can still remember their monikers.

Number of flats 12nos.

My Oga, this is 2 buildings on a 100x100 plot of land?

Could you show us the satellite view..

I feel your pain my guy.

I am scared of flying too, I prefer driving. I drove from Waukegan, IL to D.C instead of flying back in August.

But I still fly to other countries though but I don't attempt sitting on a plane for more than 6 hrs.

I will suggest trying to find flights to Manilla that have lots of stopovers. I think manilla is 21-35 hours from U.S.

What i do is, I travel with my headphone and MP3, ( I don't use my phone because my battery will die ). I listen to music all the way and fall a sleep in between.

Some people do take anxiety pills too. I have never tried it. I try listening to music.

The scariest part for me is the take off and for some destinations the pilot will make a U turn shortly after lifting off the runway before climbing to the correct altitude but you will be fine. I am not trying to scare you. Just to let you know what to expect.

Things we do for love

Good luck.
