Foreign AffairsRe: Prince Harry Says William ‘Attacked’ Him & Left Him Knocked To The Floor by brimdans(m): 7:42am On Jan 05, 2023
There's something amiss with this Meghan of a woman. She's obviously sowing a seed of discord in the family, and Harry who is obviously a simp is playing to her gallery.

William seems to want to unite the family, and again Harry is nursing a deep grudge against the family, obviously because he never felt wanted enough, so he sees himself as a second fiddle to William.

FamilyDisoriented Heading To 2023 by brimdans(op): 8:48am On Dec 31, 2022
I woke up by midnight in the chill of the night, and my mind went straight to nairaland forum.

How this forum has helped me cannot be overemphasized. Each time I have difficulty navigating through life. I come here and pour out my mind, and answers spring up from difficult angles.

Well, this is me again, distressed with life challenges.

The source of my distress this time around dates back to March this year, when I was unfairly treated in my place of work somewhere in the middle belt of Nigeria. I had to leave my state of residence to another state, but along the line, life happened, of which I don't want to go into details just yet.

I didn't want to leave that state even after I lost my job, because I've no place to stay again in my family house.

As soon as I left, my parents rented my place out, to get some money for sustainable.

Loosing my job means struggling on my own, but life was difficult, and everyone was telling me to go back to my state, that there's nothing happening in this state.

I didn't want to go back, I wanted to try, I felt I could still try and make a living, even though the odds were stack against me.

What broke the camel's back was when I was attacked and nearly killed by some men of the underworld.

Well, I had to take the hard decision of returning home, but I was wondering, where now is home?? Where would I call my aboard and rest my head?

I took courage and went back home, obviously my place is gone, I wasn't really welcomed. I had to go squat with a friend for some months. Looking for a way out.

They got tired of me, and obviously began showing me attitude, when I noticed, I bag my bags and left to church.

I met a cousin of mine, he helped me but towards Christmas I saw signs, alas genuine signs, because his brother and other relatives from his wife's side were coming to spend the holidays. So I knew my time was up there.

When people were celebrating Christmas I was wandering from one place to another, in search of where to sleep.

Last night was terrible that I nearly slept outside, in the cold, until an old friend of mine helped me, and took me to his family house.

Nairaland has always been like a family away from home. So many like minds and good people.

Please I need help.
I'm a graduate of known Nigerian University. With a BSc degree in Political science and Public Administration.

I've experience with computer application and I'm open to relocating.
Please here is my contact and also acct details. Just in case you feel led to help and alleviate my suffering.

I hate people who rush to social media to call people out. You're worst than terrorists. I employed a nairalanders who came to work on my factory site. I dropped 6000 Naira for food stuffs for the whole team. He stole it and ran away with it. I no come here come create thread. Many others too like this exist that people do to employers but once you guys see one small shaking, even without confirmation you begin to raise false alarms.


Learn to control your emotions.

I choose to talk because of just a comment. He said your work was approved. You could have waited three days. Next you formed a caucaus started looking for other employees that's how you Nigerians do in any employment settings. Bad character. If you don't have peace within, the slightest thing will trouble you. Work on your emotions. You lack control
Gbam!

Culture"Marching Ground", And How It Has Hampered The Growth And Development Of One Of by brimdans(op): 8:34am On May 16, 2022
Marching Ground

The first time I heard the phrase " marching ground', I didn't know what it meant, or neither did I give it a second thought, and I quickly erased it out of my mind. The same phrase occured again in an organization, where I formally work in Benue. And it ranged a bell.

When I first came to Benue to work for an organization, or rather a woman who owned a company I formally worked for, who was a consultant to the Benue state government on building an infectious desease laboratory. I served as her personal secretary. I was indeed very excited, because working with her means my days of joblessness and unemployment, since I rounded up my youth service.

The main contractor who were in charge of the construction of the laboratory building, were to drill a borehole in the compound. The drilling company arrived with the equipments to commence work, then suddenly a group of youths appeared, demanding for a fee, or what they termed "marching ground", before work will commence. It was astounded and at a lost, because this is the first time I'm experiencing such situation before. Where I come from, such things do not occur. I enquired from a colleague of mine, who was here before me, why do they need money for a borehole to be drilled, something that will benefit them? That was when I heard the word marching ground for the first time.

It is believed that for every project undertaken, a fee must be paid, which is called marching ground must be paid to the youths and sometimes the elders.

These youths were on site negotiating on the price to be paid to them, with the contractors, when from nowhere another sets of youths, known spakko boys,

Spakko, I was reliably informed, is a ring leader of some sort, who controls the thugs and youths within the vicinity. He occupies the highly exalted position of the special adviser to the governor of Benue state, on youths mobilisation.

When the real spakko boys came for there tax, the other group, whom are of lesser capacity than that of spakkos, had to step aside, because since they couldn't agree on price with the contractors, because of there high demand, which the contractors are not willing to pay.

Spakko boys were then paid the fee, which was lesser than the first group of youths or thugs, who ended up with nothing, so they had to grudgingly leave.

That episode passed and I felt it was just one random, which wasn't bound to happen again. It didn't occur to me, that it was a tradition and a norm, for everything project, construction, building or whatever of significant important, a fee must be paid to these thugs and sometimes the elders before any form of work will commence.

A very troubling scenario was that of a gentleman who wanted to acquire a land to begin a project. He being aware of the whole marching ground brouhaha, he then thought it wise to pay for marching ground before hand to avoid any form of confrontations or disruptions when embarking on his project. He paid the sum of about two hundred thousand naira to the elders, to settle the youths.

When he came for construction work, suddenly youth came from nowhere asking for marching ground. He informed them that marching ground has been paid to the elders, which was given to distribute to them.

They denied receiving any form of marching ground from there elders. No one knew what really happened with the money, whether it was actually given to them or not, it still remains a mystery. But one thing is certain, the gentleman had to pay again.

Another very troubling scenario that occured, was when a reputable agricultural company came to establish a rice mill factory here in Benue. With all intent and purpose, this company began construction, with so many disruptions and frustrations, they were able to complete the facility, but till today production has not commenced, because of issues of marching ground.

This company would have provided employment to the youths and development to the community and indeed the whole state.

This company had no choice than to relocate to a neighboring state closeby, and as at today, that company is thriving and growing in leaps and bounds, and it has employed a sizeable number of the youths of that community, and has aided rapid development in that state. That state is less endowed than Benue, but it thriving more than Benue, that state is Nasarawa state.
