My brorher go n read wht is privacy n google facebook saga on data privacy then u will get a beta idea of wht that means.

Bro, the law is never straightforward. So, don't assume that you know what constitutes breach of privacy.

Misappropriation of personal details does not necessarily constitute a breach of privacy.

He had her personal details, but did not share with anyone else. He only used it to make a move on her. He also did not use her number in the way that would constitute identity theft.

Prove to me how that is a breach of privacy?

abbey621:
Try traveling out of the country and stalking a citizen, na then you go know say khaki no be leather. Phone number, name, date of birth and so on are personal information that the law protects, it's just that nigeria is a zoo so no consequences!

My God, so a few exchanges is now stalking?

Nawa for una o. No wonder they have no respect for Nigerians and Nigerian educational institutions abroad.

Better learn to research words before you use them with so much confidence.

abbiboy:
Friend or no friend thats unprofessional,dude u clearly dont understand what is breach of privacy.Is like touching a ladys boobz without her permission n exactly wht d guy did.

It is not the same. Stop blowing this out of proportion.

People slide into people's DMs and people send friend requests even to strangers without batting an eyelid. He didn't steal her personal details, not from a register or worksheet. It was shared with him by Bolt.

abbiboy:
U would not survive in a sane country beyond 24hrs.

Why? What are your reasons?

abbiboy:
He stole re number n thats breach of privacy.

Breach of privacy

A number already known to the driver? If Bolt felt the need to protect privacy, they would introduce the number masking technique that they use in some countries.

Please, you people should stop misusing words.

I could agree with you that he misused the privileges accorded drivers, but to say he stole a number that had been shared with him by Bolt is nothing but silly to say the least.

Even riders agree to have some of their personal details shared with drivers. How can you steal a detail that had been shared with you?

shineeye1:
It is rare to find fooollz who sign their own f*oolz certificate. You just did.

You are not making any sense.

Are you male or female? You sound very feminine to me.

Not that it matters, though. But I am beginning to feel out of place as if I am arguing with a woman (something I never feel comfortable doing).

shineeye1:
Your last statement has revealed that you are more a man of brawl and less a man of brain. Quote me to confirm this.

I don't take prisoners. I don't belong to the classical school that believes in preventing crime rather than punishing it.

Dumb people are deviants, and ought to be thrown under a bus, not pampered.

shineeye1:
Any casual observer would readily decipher who the sufferer of disorder is in the ensuing conversation ...

Oh, please, just stop typing and go to bed.

Someone writes about a Uber driver who married a rider and you started mentioning mannerless drivers.

Is it only mannerless, and imposing drivers who marry their riders?

Where is the value in your post? If I were close to you right now, I would throw a combination that would very much send you under a bus.

shineeye1:
So, all mannerless male taxi drivers who impose themselves on their female clients have become right in your own world?

You seem to be suffering from disassociative disorder.

How does your post relate to the one you quoted?

Are you insinuating that marriage could not happen between a Uber driver and rider except the Uber driver was rude and imposed himself on her?

Have you not heard stories (especially outside the shores of this country) where female riders chatted up their drivers and initiated some sort of relations, especially sexual relationships?

When it is a man, it becomes a problem. But if the woman is the initiator, it is perfectly normal.

maasoap:
Mr "Go School", didn't you notice that the ideot was being stubborn. He was just being annoyingly persistent. And again, texting someone you wanted to woe in the middle of the night! And when did saying "please please please ................. " become an insult? The girl was right, absolutely for making that statement because he wouldn't take no for an answer

Don't look at the word, look at the manner it was used.

I believe you at least took a psychology course towards graduation.

Please, please, please, help me with that bag can be quite different from please, please, please, stop disturbing me

Moreover, I was not particular about her usage of please, but the words that came after.

maasoap:
Lol. That wasn't respectful enough. What exactly did she say that made her responses not respectful enough. I didn't see insults up there, no harsh words, no embarrassment, no cursing. The only "respect" she didn't show was that she didn't play along.

Did you go to school at all

Is politeness in acts to now be taken as "playing along".

Go and read the post again.

The man started rather childishly, but it can mean that he has never done this before. Using cliches made him appear immature in matters of wooing.

Immediately, he comes around to making his intentions known, she goes into the usual tirade: "Please, please...if you have been doing this to other girls...bla bla bla"

AZeD1:
The lady shared her data with Bolt and not the driver and using the data without the consent of the company or the lady is stealing. Asking if he could contact her later is the right thing to do.

Also if you are going to cold call/text someone, your first message should state who you are and your reason for calling/texting.

The lady shared her data with Bolt but also agreed that her data would be shared with drivers. Bolt allows numbers to be visible to drivers for 24 hours after trip to resolve possible issues that might arise. It never stated that drivers couldn't use it to get cozy

Perhaps, you have not been reading my post.

Can I contact you later while at work can only be related to work-based issues. It wouldn't make any sense to be talking about contacting a rider later while they are still in your vehicle. If you are familiar with Bolt or any taxi services, you will know that drivers sometimes contact riders later to resolve issues.

So, you should never create misunderstandings by asking a rider if you would contact them later.

yeyeosoronga:
He was able to chat with her and flow with her during working hours, but couldn't ask her if he could contact her after work?
Its wrong of him to take her number from their work sheet. Very unprofessional and its same thing as stealing people data/information.

Did he take her number from a work sheet or because her number was not masked?

AZeD1:
Hey can I have your phone number?
Hey, is it ok if I call sometime later?
Hey can I call/text you sometimes?

The girl spent more than 5 mins in his car, if he wanted to speak to her, he could/should have asked for her permission.
The guy literally stole her number and he expects her to be polite?

It is just a matter of speaking, not a legal thing. You don't need permission to call anyone. Moreover, except you work for a network service provider who have details far beyond just your phone number, there is very little of your details available to a Bolt driver. You can't steal numbers. There is nothing called "stealing numbers" under any jurisdictions.

And, it appears like you think it is more legitimate to chat up a customer who was still in your vehicle and who under company policy could not be said to be able to give consent?

What he did was safer than what you are suggesting he should have done. His relationship with her while she was still in his vehicle was quite different from when his dealings with her had ended.

slyfoxxjoe:
that’s the problem oga. Some Guys don’t listen to “I have a boyfriend sorry” or even simple “I’m not interested please”. They keep going. Look at the girls initial reply. It was simple “stop texting me please”. Nothing rude about that until the guy kept going before she obviously got irritated. And yes I say Nigerian guys because even though I am one, I can still acknowledge our faults.

Her initial response was rude.

I am sure even you can't take it without feeling some dent.

If you don't know, her initial response showed irritation.

AZeD1:
How come you don't know its rude to call/text someone without their permission?

So, one must ask permission to call/text someone?

In what jurisdictions does one need permission to ring someone up or to text? How does call permission even work?

I don't understand.

He had a wife? So, what was he doing late in the club? Not even office. A married man up late in the club

Very disrespectful.

RIP.

yeyeosoronga:
Why couldn't he ask her if he could contact her before she alighted from his car?
I'm sure if such a person had any type of access to client bank cards, he would help himself



That's what he probably did, and that's so unprofessional. Anyone would be irritated if you start getting strange text messages or calls from strangers. It's not funny at all

Why should he ask her during work hours? Isn't that against work policies?

"Can I contact you" while at work can only mean something related to work.

That is even worse than chatting while off work.

slyfoxxjoe:
Nigerian guys have a very silly self of entitlement. They believe girls must give face to every guy that approaches them. If that was the case, then some girls would literally have 500 boyfriends or husbands. And it’s the same guys that will come here on Nairaland and complain about unfaithful women o!

And, you are from Togo abi

Moreover, just because you don't want to give face does not mean you should be rude. "I have a boyfriend, sorry" is very much respectful and in good taste.

Ever watched videos of wooing pranks, you will see those white girls turning down guys with respect, and even a smile. "I have a boyfriend, sorry." "I am taken" "I am engaged" "I have a boyfriend".

That is the difference between an exposed people and savages.

Midas01:
Honestly. You act so jovial, polite and engage them and they're thinking she's cheap or wants the D. You act like you don't care and you're a snob and bitter.

Stop generalizing.

Generalization is what has made some girls become irrational and staggeringly stupid.

You approach them to politely ask for direction, and they immediately think you want to woo them. Before you say, "Sorry, please" or "Excuse me, ma'am", they are already trying to play hard to get.

Midas01:
Oga, do you know if she has a bf,
fiance or even husband that she's faithful to?

What is wrong with some of you? Do you people reason at all?

And how would the driver know if she doesn't say?

And does being in a committed relationship mean that you have to be rude to anyone who asks you out? Do they write "committed" or "taken" on foreheads?

Midas01:
What exactly is your problem?

How does, "since we met I've not been able to sleep due to thoughts of you" translate to just wanting friendship?

And please what is wrong in a someone simply telling a person you just don't wanna talk or have that conversation with them after all isn't he a stalker? Did she give him her number?

You're here blaming the girl but if your girlfriend gave audience to a stranger who already professed his love for her you'd come on NL to call all women olosho.

una no just get sense at all. Bloody hypocrites!

You are a big fool.

Have you ever considered that perhaps that he had thought so much about what to type but settled for that cliche because he had never done the sort of thing before?

Moreover, the problem I have is with her rudeness. There is something called love at first sight, and it could be the case in this matter. The least she could have done was say she wasn't interested in any relationship, even if platonic.

He just wanted friendship.

My God, some girls can be staggeringly stupid.

If you don't want to be friends with him, there are much more respectful way to say it.

Rozayonome:
Ok sir. Lesson learnt

No, I must give you more lessons

Alright, no problem. Just kidding

Peace!!!

Rozayonome:
I just said my view though.... don't come for me

And your view kept me wondering. Even Jesus Christ got angry and used the whip when necessary. And you expect a human who had just been hit repeatedly to apologize. Apologize for what exactly, and to whom?

To a violent person? To someone who had just displayed incivility? To someone who had just physically assaulted him?

koyyes:
The only reason a female can pick up a bottle and knife is if she feels her life is constantly being threatened. Meaning the op is a violent person himself but of course he won't tell us that.

I agree that a divorce could solve the problem but what makes you think the violence will end if one or both parties move on ? Most if not all males can not stay alone after a divorce. The next woman he meets may not pick up knife or bottle. She may just poison him straight up or poor hot water on him while he is sleeping.

Really. Only

There are violent people who don't need to feel threatened. My ex used to smash things up whenever she was angry. The only thing that obviously stopped her from using weapons was that she always projected her anger onto objects rather than onto me. She would slam the door, smash up a glass cup, throw things around.

And I am not a violent person. I detest violence and I run away from confrontations whether physical or verbal. I did try to help her by paying for therapy sessions, but it all went to waste, even the emotion-focused CBT that I paid tens of thousands per sessions for because she would simply skip sessions after sessions. When I broke up with her, she smashed up my car, my TV, and my video games.

See, there are violent people, and it is not gender-specific. Some of these problems are personality disorders. When you meet them at first, they are either so sweet or you are too in love to notice behavioural abnormalities.

When I met my ex and took her home, my youngest sister was the first to notice abnormalities. She said my ex was staring at her in a deep, intimidating manner. I shut her up and said she was thinking things up. If only I knew. I went through hell in the hands of that woman, many times unprovoked.

Let me give you another scenario. When I was studying for my master's degree, there was a time I didn't know that my girlfriend was spying on me to the extent of following me about. So, I was having a conversation with a lady in front of the PGS director's office block when she nearly ran us over out of stupid jealousy.

Tell me, even if I was cheating on her, was death (violence) my punishment?

koyyes:
Let's hear the other side of the story first.


A female can not just be carrying knife and bottle for no reason.

What really happened ?

No matter what, as it is now, the relationship has become seriously toxic.

No need for further investigation. It is best to end the relationship.

This is not overlooking whatever contribution he might have made into turning his wife into a beast. However, we cannot overlook the blatant display of violence in question.

Rozayonome:
Let me just say this. I'm not for anyone.... You are in a crowded place where body touching body.... What do you expect and at the same time the broda should have just kept his cool and apologize..... again I'm not for or against.... just saying

He should apologize after he had been hit repeatedly?

Ngwamankillyou:
If he is a southerner pls someone should advise him before those blood sucking barbarians descend on him.

Advise him to do what?

He has a murder case on his head, and it happened in Bebeji. He is going nowhere but prison or the gallows.

If the story happened the exact way it was reported, then the Corps member allowed his anger to kill him. Anger has landed a lot of people in prisons all over the country.

Many people need anger management classes.

gidgiddy:
Somebody should tell the Monarch that according to the Federal Government of Nigeria, an unarmed organisation like IPOB who killed nobody is a terrorist organisation

But an armed group like the killer herdsmen who slaughter thousands of Nigerians each year with their AK 47, are not terrorists, and deserve Ruga settlements

So because the Federal Government does not know what terrorism is, it is not safe for Kanu to go to a country that doesn't know what terrorism is

The meaning of terrorism differs from government to government.

Moreover, the conflict between herdsmen and farmers has always been an issue even before this administration came onboard. No government has been able to solve the problem. This administration is trying different strategies to end it.

Mind you, farmer-herdsmen conflicts are not acts of terrorism. So, you need to go back and read more broadly on the word "terrorism".

As for IPOB, they were making threats against the president, creating their own paramilitary outfits without government permission, and daring the laws of the land. Even if they have not killed, conspiracy is a crime in many societies. So, it is safe to call them a terrorist organization.

Speculations


I perceive Buhari is a scammer too. People should quit being petty. There's a reason why there's law enforcement worldwide

You are perceiving, Mr Warner is certain.

I bet you can see the difference.

healthserve:
He doesn't need it. Anyone can approach Interpol with proofs and have a criminal arrested. That's the point

But there is no law that says people can't discuss issues like this on social media.

Sometimes, social media can help promote crime prevention and even facilitate the arrest of criminals.

Moreover, Mr Warner is a forensic researcher, and we have no evidence whether his contribution was one of what led to the nailing of Mompha.
