Seun:
Hello Nairalanders,

I'm Seun, the founder of Nairaland. Talk to me about what Nairaland is like for you. What's good and what's not so good right now.

I've been more focused on the backend and working on new features. It seems as if the moderation and other issues have fallen behind.

So, talk to me. What should we focus on in order to encourage you to start being more active on Nairaland?

PS: I have people dropping me messages presuming that Nairaland is over. What's that about?

Why does someone need to swear and agree to certain terms before commenting on a Muslim posts?

But this feature is not available in Christian posts?

Don't you think that there are non Muslim that would like to interact and engage with Muslim brothers and sisters, just like our Muslim brothers and sisters already are able to interact and engage Christians in their posts

So Tinubu didn't defeat Obi in other states? Abi the "free and fair election" only happened in Lagos?

Please do read opinions slowly to understand what someone is saying..

Peter obi's strong hold is Anambra state.. he won the last presidential election (Anambra state)..

Tinubu's strong hold is Lagos state, Tinubu did not win in lagos state, rather Peter Obi won lagos state.. even with all the documented mago mago by APC, Obi still won in Lagos..

She was probably on birth control and believed she wouldnt get pregnant.. but who is that guy that his sperm pierced the layers of the birth control to stick? Would he be considered lucky?

I disagree.. lagos is Tinubu's strong hold and Obi defeated him there even with all the rigging..


In a "free and fair election" , Obi will defeat Tinubu in a landslide..

Is this really necessary?

Why can't someone go to their bank to effect a wire transfer abroad?? Their bank converts the amount to the foreign currency (official rate), and deduct the money from the customers bank account...

That is, for example, a customer wants to send $1k to their supplier in China. Official dollar rate, N1,300. The bank will just deduct 1,300,000 from the customer's account and send the transfer to their supplier in China..

Why is this difficult to implement?

Is like Wan Biska only trains to play against Man Utd

People caught manufacturing fake medicine, fake food products should be imprisoned for life..

Because our politicians loot our resources to invest abroad... why won't abroad government respect them since they are investing the looted resources in their countries?

bennybuhari:
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

dominique:
Chukwueze dey worry man utd defenders sha

He wan use Dalot to dey shine

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..

The man go explain explain tire

450 million.....hope Toyota company is aware of the price?

michlins:
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..

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 ?

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?

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??

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.. . ,

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..

madridguy:
US is their master and they must be a good servant.

Sorry sir.. the world order have changed..

Did you listen to Prime minister of Canada's speech at Davos?

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.

madridguy:
Denmark are playing with fire.

By not giving up what they own??

bigpicture001:
Trump is tempting Greenland's 56000 residents with an offer of 1m dollars each...

They will go for it.. Denmark doest give them much..

Do you mind sharing your source? Or are you spreading fake news??

DiamondsAreFore:
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

Well he is confirming that the noble peace prize committee was right not to give him the Noble Peace Prize

Wishing everyone involved in the project good luck... very inspiring project!!

Abacha, the gift that keeps giving

This money will be embezzled sharp sharp...

When I saw lists of properties seized from former AGF Malami... I wept.. how much was his salary as AGF to be able to afford one plot of land at Maitama , talk more of the buildings from Abuja, Lagos to Kebbi state...

Then former oil minister Diezani .... very sad...

Beautiful goal by Sěsko... nice to see a smile on his face

Funny how Sěsko changed his shirt from long sleeve in the first half to short sleeve in the second half..

I thought he would bang in a hat trick in the second half..

Offpoint1:

Washing machine and dryer is supposed to be in the laundry not kitchen in a luxury modern home.

It depends, European style in kitchen.. American style in laundry room.

It depends which school of thought you fancy..
