Hating them doesn't make them less human than you are. Hate is too strong a word. Your hate is irrational and your post deserved to be deleted by Facebook. If God hates you despite all your shortcomings you won't be alive to say you hate his creation.

I wish I could give you more likes for this. I really wish.

ActionScript3:
I am a lagos resident and my landlord sold his house to a new one.

the new one has been threatening to evict us by force as this is the second time he has come with policemen, the first time, he came with a policemen from SARS ikeja when we are not robbers.

i am a paying yearly tenant with my receipt with me.
he tried to negotiate with us to pay 400k per annum upon renovation, up from 250k
we begged him to accept 300-350k (based on each tenant's pocket) or give us 6 months to leave
he said he is not ready to give us 3 months talk less of 6 months

Last week, he came around to disconnect our soakaway pipes
he erected scaffolding to remodel the house even when we still reside there.

today, they came to disconnect our nepa cables
this will be the second time.

they have issued us a notice from the mediation center but they are impatient to even wait till the date of invitation before starting to mess with us.

Op. This post was unecessary. Call a meeting with your co-tenants. Team up and get a lawyer. Sue the landlords [previous and current] for every penny they have. Claim inconveniences and damages. If cash to go to court is an issue, with diligence, you can get a lawyer to work pro bono. Nigeria is a country where the judicial system is left to wallow.

In a developed society, the man wouldn't try that stuff, because suing someone to court is like buying lollipops. Institute a legal action and he would seek for a proper out of court settlement.

The number of applicants is inconsequential. I suppose it increased because of the free education policy of the state government.

Imo state university is on strike, 3 months now and still counting. Most of those applicants applied for the state university. How will they be admitted into a school that strikes frequently?

Truth be told, the South West remains the best place to school in Nigeria. Relatively safe and academically inclined.

Schools in the east are plagued with corrupt practices and inadequate workforce.

Movic1:
These three things are different, they aren't the same. Muslim,Arab & Hausa. So dont generalize it. Hausas killed the woman. If a christian kill today,you wont criticize her by his/her religion but by tribe. e.g Igboman or yorubaman

Was the woman killed because she is Igbo or because she is a christian? I am begining to like Donal Trump. I think his hate for Islam is based on truth now. What is this? How can people reason like this now? Co-habitation with muslims is not feasible. They should just live on their own. While Peaceful people stay on there own.

Why was this thread snubbed??

HitlerGaddafi:
Sorry nor be snake thread. If to sey u just add one photo of snake to your collection, e for better. I'm working on my PhD in snakology and not history

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Lemme modify.


Lalasticlala come and see pictures of snakes that shocked the world oh. Some were found and killed in the backyard.

I see, a technically defeated terrorist group still has enough technicality to take over a town. I am begining to doubt if I understand the meaning of defeat.


Buhari has failed. Woefully. I wish Nigerians would vote someone from KOWA during the next election. The big parties have failed us.

Lalasticlala

I imagine they have become richer, more muscular and their life span has increased.



Mofos.... How can someone be so dumb, so dumb...

kITATITA:
I don't know what's special about this girl. She's not the ideal role model; not educated, got pregnant before marriage, her fame came from neither a dint of hardworking nor inheritance. The media tend glamorise street hawking.

In her case. The media flexed their muscles and showed us they had the power to make fame and wealth in a second. That asides, she was favoured. It was her turn, that's what's special bout' her.

Lol. God is there. Don't fear him. Love him rather.

NewNigeriaMind:
Lol...but the work force in civil service is not up to ten percent of those using the good roads.


Should them punish the many for a few civil servants.

However, he has brrn paying a token every month. At least that is better than bayelsa or abia that have nothing to show on ground and can't still pay salaries.

Lol, abia eh. We shouldn't be here though. With what we had and who we are supposed to be. It's just sad

I want to see how possible this will be. They should do something obvious.

Is there anyway this can be confirmed?

mamawin:
No pity osun civil servants, the man has indeed bitten more than he can chew. Now he's doing wonderful and great job especially on roads project, but people are hungry

Of what use is a hungry workforce on a good road?

They are making alot of sense. Left for me, I would suggest more exams to help weed out people who are not serious.

*NO INSULT PLS*

Dear Sir. As much as death seems to be the attractive option now. I think you shouldn't force your time.

See, the only reason why you have refused to tell your parents or own up is because you are afraid of the embarrasment you will face. You are afraid of what people will say. You are scared of what your parents will say and probably what other family memebers would do.

Let me tell you this, first, if you are still interested in school, get another Jamb form now, study hard and try to get admitted into a different school. Or, if not interested in school, see if you can find what it is you want to do with your life. Life is a gift. Don't return your life to the owner yet.

Think about this, the highest that will happen is people will talk about it, your parents will shout their heads off and maybe MOM might get emotional, but understand this, it will only be for a while. Things like this don't trend for more than 4months. Would you kill yourself just because you are afraid of trending for sometime? Olamide and Don Jazzy's case has ended. It's stale now. Olajumoke was very hot once, now it's discarded. Don't think being expeled from school is a crime deserving death. Some people are criminals, you are not. Some are ritualists and after being caught they continue life. Your's shouldn't bother you much.

Remember to always laugh, we are here for just a moment. Just do happy things now.

I've sent you a pm. Kindly reply.

Unfortunately, the current tenant of Bola Ige house in Osogbo cannot emulate this.

Yes, yes. I pity Osun residents sometimes.

mamawin:
they all wish to, but..... you know now, kudi, owo, ego, money. na im no gree o

Yes, though. Sometimes they have money, but due to corruption, they hoard it. Some even steal from it.

goodforsomthing:
Most of the Governors always like to pay salary early but when there is no money to pay what did you expect them to do.

that is government problem,let me go and make some cool money on Naijabet to solve my own problem. you are invite too

Lol. True sha. Some governors should work on their IGR though. So they won't be too reliant on federal allocation.


No use pass 100 naira play Naijabet oh...

Congrats op. We would appreciate some details though. Something motivating. Happy for you.

This is good. I think every Governor should emulate this.

They stay in the same estate sef.

Roland17:
Bro,

How does your emotional outburst justify the killing of a Gorilla?

Who is responsible for the hunger, famine, xenophobic killings? Are Gorilla's picking arms and killing the human race? or are Gorillas responsible for the despicable level of poverty, hunger, corruption and environmental degradation witnessed in our world today? are Gorillas responsible for the incredulous level of hate and spite witnessed amongst humans today?

Your guess is as good as mine, The perceived superior specie (human) is perpetuating this level of absurdity on its own.

Don't get me wrong, the life of that child is very important and i am happy it was saved, so was the life of the Gorilla and just because we belong to a particular specie does not justify why another should be sacrificed needlessly when it was very avoidable.

SHOOT TO IMMOBILIZE THE ANIMAL AS THE LAST RESORT, NOT THE ONLY RESORT.

.

Please, for the sake of clarification. Are you saying no matter what the situation was, the gorilla shouldn't have been killed even if the child had to die.

Or, are you saying the zoo should have had other mechanisms of handling such a situation that would emerge a win-win and that even if they didn't have such tools in place, they should have just let the child die other than kill the gorrilla?

Are you perchance, equating humans to animals in terms of value because we are plagued with certain ills? Even in the wild animals hunt those of lesser power for food.

The zoo said they had no other option left, the tranquilizers were not an option, if the child's life was to be saved. Are you saying they should have risked the life of a child so they can save that of the gorrilla?

Are you indirectly implying that the gorilla had more value than the child?

First, let's agree the zoo was ill prepared. What do you think they should have done now?

Roland17:
Before i start, let me state clearly that we (Humans) are all animals.. if you are going to define the actions of Harambe in that moment as animistic, thus should be sacrificed at the altar of mediocrity, then you should sit and analyze the actions and activities of the perceived superior specie and tell me who the real animals are?

How do you argue and place animal rights aside? that sentence alone defeats the logic behind your argument. The human specie is a superior specie, however, the history and evolution of the human specie as scientifically proven is impossible without the Gorilla and its family. Would it sound right if i say, lets remove the pain of death and discuss the killing and kidnap of people in the Niger delta or in Borno? does that sound logical to you?

First, sorry I had to delete some of your arguments. I am typing with a phone. But I will address all the points you've raised.

Of course, the life of an animal would one day be of equal value to that of Man, if not of more value. The fact that the world is against the death of an animal to save a human is prove enough. Some actually prefer the boy died. The fact that this issue is weighty enough to be discussed/argued is prove that we are moving towards that era.

I left the part of the parents because, I believe mistakes happen. As costly as they might be, everyone is bound to make a mistake. I have been opportuned to guard toddlers once for a considerable period of time. Keeping watch over kids is not as easy as it sounds, accidents happen. Kids pour hot water on themselves, swallow poisinous substances and what not, even under the watch of the most careful parents. No one expected a child to actually crawl in. Their's was just a case of good day gone wrong.

While I agree that the zoo wasn't prepared. I believe this may have been their first case. I insist they did the right thing, being that it was the only option left.

Since you insist that life of the kid should have been risked, while the zoo tried diverse methods of retrieving him. What if he was your kid? Would you scream, ''pls leave the gorilla let it roughly drag my kid about. My kid won't die, I know because I think gorrilas don't kill kids?''

A gorrila killed a child when he stepped into his enclave in Australia in 2008. I don't still get why you seem so sure that the child couldn't die. We are talking Gorrila here. You are not in his head.

I do not know enough about evolving from apes, so I do not subscribe to that school of thought. Still, even if we include Animal rights in the equation does it mean we should let animals kill us, maim us and then simply let them serve a jail term for such acts? Because we can't kill them since they have rights?

kodded:
op the last one is not true


what if your password is 4224 ?

That code can be easily guessed. I don't think the ATM would let you use it in the first place. Something more complicated is advised.

Op, report your case to the police. Get a police man and a warrant, go to any Mtn office close to you. With the sim registration stuff, tracking him shouldn't be hard. This might end up costing you more than the amount duped. You can follow this legal process if what you seek is revenge or better still, justice.


You can also flood the media with his pictures, mail Linda, Bella, Stella, Naijasinglegirl and any popular blogger you know. If you don't catch him, damage whatever reputation he has a left. A family member is bound to come across the news. And believe me, bad news spread like Ebola.


You can also forgive, to pull the above off, you need a substantial amount of vengeful emotional feeling. If you don't have the motivation to do it. Move on...

Explorers:
Actually am not placing the life of an animal over that of the child. The zoo authority did what was necessary, but why that long, waht were they doing for 10 minutes? What if the boy has fallen into a lion, tiger, leopard, bear, or crocodile enclosure?
Few days back for the first time i visited a large and popular shopping facility in my area. I noticed the security in the facility, lots of emergency exits perfectly directed to safety, lots fire pumps, hoses, extinguishers , fire and security alarms on the walls.
All ive mentioned are within few meters away from each other so that if there should be fire/explosion, attack, robbery, within 5seconds someone will hit the nearest alarm and in a minute people wil exit the building.

Zoos can be like, why would they give us an excuse that darts or tranquilizers are not available or far away?
There should be atleast 2-3 trained shooters always in position at any moment with the tranquilizers very close. Most especially the areas they have lions, tiger, leopard, other big cats and bears. They can escape accidentally or sometimes people's stupidity. Nigeria mothers that are zoo goers will hold there kids firmly, but i learnt this boy said he wanted to swim with the the gorilla and entered somehow.

Yes, I get your point. They may have not been prepared for this kind of occurence. Let's hope proper safety measures are ensured now.

The only thing I saw is '' a high number of Nigerians aren't corrupt'' WTF?

98 percent of this country's population is corrupt. Tackling corruption would be a difficult mountain to climb.

From the set of people who jump queues in banks, to those who inflate prices of goods unecessarily [imagine garri increasing cost because Naira fell in the parralel market, as if they buy cassava in dollars]. That man that inflates his quotation for a job so that everyone will get his/her share from the excess largesse, that lady that uses what she has to get what she wants. That man that asks for kola before doing anything for you. That student that pays to pass certain papers [sorting]. That working class man or woman who engages in a side business called miracle centre. And a host of others, they are all corrupt. Corruption in this country has eaten so deep into the fabrics of our society like a cankerworm.

Sadly, in the everyday life of a Nigerian, encountering corrupt practices has become a norm.
