I agree but there are caveats:
- Medical education is not "free" in Nigeria. Just because it is much cheaper than abroad does not mean it is free. Even (some) state schools charge millions per year for medicine. IT is usually the most expensive program.

- Doctors who go abroad are a HUGE source of remittances, the 2nd biggest form of currency inflows to Nigeria after oil.

- If the country was smart, they would train as many doctors as possible, seek partnerships with foreign countries or states/provinces to make it EASY for our doctors to be hired abroad. Why can't our doctors walk straight into practice in say Canada?

- Mandate a 5-year service period for all doctors in exchange for 50% tuition grant. Pay those doctors N250k minimum a month.

- Try to get some doctors who have specialized abroad to come back periodically for seminars, secondments, etc.

They have started.

Some NGOs will try to repackage Mr. Rufai as the saviour we need.

A country with high fertility, teenage pregnancy, prostitution, and celebrity worship across the entire country is hounding a young lady to death because she "twerked on a video"

Is this allowed on NL @ Seun?

I'd say that your chances of something real are much better if you previously knew the person or have known the person for years.

If the "abroad man" wants to "see your people" fter 2 months and just around December, be careful.

Brezze showing doesn't even make people more pleasant to look at.

Lollittaa:
if I post my pictures here, you'll see that you can be damn gorgeous without showing brezz.. Ayam waiting for cooooooks to pay my bride price

You don't run an economy by picking and choosing winners.

In every story, there are at least 2 sides.

The wife doesn't come first without a will. Especially with other children involved.

It will likely be shared equally among the children after her share for increase in value is removed.

As her income was much less, there will be some temporary alimony for her in all likelihood (the marriage would not long enough to require alimony for life).

But then again, this is only if they do court marriage. Many people do not. In that case, they will be subject to the customary law of the man's home.

PeaceJoyLove:
Hahahha. From your own ibo-tic book of law. Right? Lol. A beg shift to one side. So, if the man leaves a will behind you think the woman is not the who will be in charge. Do you think it will be the son? And as educated as the said man is, he wont leave a will? Just pray the woman doesnt change his mind. A nanny who is said to be his companion. A friend who relieved him of a deep sorrow. You dont understand that the man had to live with the son so as not to fall into depression. But the woman brought him out. You dont know anything. Your own is first son rubbish thing. Did you read there that they are ibo? Ibos are nasty with the madness that first son inherits all. You are all very nasty in that regard. Very cra.zy culture. Your audacity to even write it is beyond me. You need to have your brain checked. I hate that mentality.

If you are based in Lagos, from the wrote up, you can guess the family is yoruba. So, get your crappy and nauseating first son culture out of my mention. Very nas.ty culture. First son my foot.

In law, the wife comes first if there is no will. Go and ask any lawyer who understands the law. You think it ibo-tic law that will be used. He has brought up first son issue. Your head dey pain you.

Get the crap out my mention. You are the one whose write up is with rubbish noun - conjecture.

Nope. If they do court wedding, the wife will be entitled to an equal share of the increase in value/wealth since their union. If they do only traditional, such succession would depend on the locale; the first son is likely ahead in any case.

PeaceJoyLove:
But I assume that since she showed she is against it, the nanny will show her pepper. [s]And mind you, she has the right to the property of the man even before her husband. Lol. This is the truth.
[/s]

This entire paragraph is crazy. So much conjecture.

PeaceJoyLove:
So, this is life. If she is the friend of the woman, they can even control the affairs even more than the children of the inlaw. But she has allowed pride to set in. See eh...she is better to even make the nanny her friend and accept her as equal. Now that she is proud, she is relegated. It's with friendliness and jokes she willl do it na. Even she will tell the old man that she is still the wife oooo...and if she messes up, she will deal with the nanny cos she is still her girl despite mummy now. She will use style attach herself to the girl more and that is how the man will even like her more. See eh...the kind properties the man will will to her sef, she will not believe it. The man willl review the will instantly. And the way the nanny will be attaching herself to her and not do anytning without hearing from her will be super...thereby still in charge. But some people are daft. Na to be proud.

Just look at the dehumanizing tone of the story. A single elderly adult wants to settle down with a single 30 something year old woman. What's the problem here?

Abi is the writer worried about reaping the result of her treatment of the former "housemaid"?

Monitor lizards eat rats, mice, etc.

Biko that word no dey my vocabulary.

Lollittaa:
talk true, don't I intimidate you

This is a lie that some ladies tell themselves. Why they do this is what I don't know.

RealMarv:
Most guys I know don't like it when a lady is taller than them especially if they are developing feelings for her. They prefer a lady who is short or of average height. The surprising thing is that even the majority of tall guys prefer going for short ladies.

This begs the question, are tall ladies not attractive? Why are guys intimidated when they are with tall ladies?

AIRPORTS SHOULD BE PRIVATE.

It's quite scary if they did not detect the leak themselves.

Why would NNPC need to mobilize the "franchise partner". Isn't the partner competent enough to detect and deal with such leaks by themselves?

Come bro, what if the wife now earns more during the course of their married life?

I think prenups are important but really only when large amounts are involved. I mean millions of dollars over say 10 years.

richmondefosa:


If you want to do a court wedding, sign a prenup.

If she refuses, she is after your money.

Court weddings only favour the women.

The only reason for a court wedding is if you intend relocating out of the country.

Left to me, the only wedding i will do is the African traditional wedding.

That is the only thing God and my ancestors recognize. I detest white weddings. I see it as an avenue to waste funds and showoff. Do your traditional wedding, hold the reception, Go home and enjoy your companion.

Make sure you sign a prenup. The ladies we have these days are out to ruin you.

Ji ma sun

The white wedding is the traditional wedding of the white man.

I have no respect for people who air out their family business like this.

This is an attention seeking, self serving approach. You're not the only person to cross dress, be gay or even transition.

He could post these pictures but there has to be tact with family.

Then why is she asking a question on nairaland?

Is nairaland only between her and her husband?

Mariangeles:
Exactly why you shouldn't pry.

Were there any tremors in the area? Is that a sandfilled land?? Any informed geologist's opinion on the matter?

Be candid with him.
"I don't like it, please do not do this in front of me."

My mum knows my dad and his gimmicks! He is never around, and i know she knows that my dad got side chick(s)

People shouldn't be scared to adopt.

Thank Science, thank IVF.

Na una cause am na. I was buying bra for my sis the other day, I turned and two guys were looking at me funny. I'll never know what's so special about baby's food.

Intersex is different from transgender.

People are born intersex with male and female organs.

Lollittaa:
the person is really confusing sef does he have breasts? Cos I think I saw breasts.
Slawormiir what do you see?

I see. They believe you have a fake stamp.

The passport belongs to the Federal Republic, not you.

They have no case.

They are just threatening him with the Nigerian legal system.

I recently learned that some ladies wear bras that are too small to prevent too much movement when they walk.

Lollittaa:
just kidding about the pant jor. But 13500 for bra. Must be quality sha
I know cooooooks will buy one for his Lolitta.

That bra must have gold.

That is a solution.

S/he could file for bankruptcy for the company. However, they may still be personally liable.

They could file for personal bankruptcy but the consequences are long lasting.

Lollittaa:
what if he files for bankruptcy?

In many cases, if not all, you will still be liable for the amount after your release.

Also, as is the case in Nigeria, it will cost you money to get out of the jail.

The company, if they are unscrupulous, could still report you to the credit bureaux.

Antoeni:
I Think Going to Jail is Cool & Better,
Before you know it, You are Out

Hey, could the credit bureaux themselves provide this service?

SocialJustice:
1. You can not be jailed, this is a civil matter. You should get a lawyer to file an injunction on your behalf to restrain the company from harassing you. Do this urgently so you have a legal document confirming your willingness to pay but under a rescheduled time frame. Better you talk to a lawyer first on the best plan of action. But I assure you, there is no jail for you.

2. Yes, the police can even with your torchlight phone. More reason to talk to a lawyer fast to get legal protection before police harassment starts.

3. The worst is a police or court case where you state your intention to pay but only as your financial power allows you to. So in reality, you can strike a deal in court to pay N10-N50k monthly as you can afford.

4. Ease your mind, this case is very civil, there's nothing you have signed in any document that forces you to make payment you can't afford. But take the documents you signed to a lawyer too.

5. Next time when you're given a loan that can't start your project, learn to reject money and save yourself unnecessary stress.

6. You don't start a new business with loans, loans are only used to amplify returns in a proven business model.

7. I have consulted for several companies including banks like the one you borrowed from. They do not want legal troubles or associated expenses. So get your lawyer to write them, make it clear you've endured enough mental and emotional stress and would like to proceed with payment without further blackmail and threats.

Good luck.
