@op, please learn to ignore people who evoke negativity. It never really ends well. On that note, I enjoyed your posts and originality. Occasionally, I detected that chatgpt helped out in some areas and almost stopped reading because of that but the comments kept me going.

My advice is this. This thread is interesting because of your unique voice and positivity which are very engaging. Please don't lose that to naysayers and AI. I wish you the very best in your journey.

Don't bother. I don't need the money because I know that I will be dead in less than a minute.

MarkNsukkaBread:
They're not unhappy they're just stressed out,as you can see they're both pregnant

This makes it much worse

If they look this unhappy on their wedding day, I wonder what will become of them when the kids start coming

I equally denounce it on his behalf and blame detractors, AI and Canva

And yet Nnamdi Kanu remains locked up

Much ado about nothing

Thst sounds about right.

So nuclear fusion uding hydrogen molecules in water? What's next, time travel hole cooking with air?

It's the strangest thing

Softmirror:
You will lose so much if not your life sef if you don't cooperate and give them that 1k. Dey there de drag untop 1k. Don't you know what these people are capable of. Hmmm......? Sit down there dey do calculation. If you think they are making a lot of money you better go and join them. There are some things you just close eye and do to be at peace with people.

Give unto Ceaser...

Blackman101:
That is how it will start in not addressed now, soon the money will get to 3-5k monthly

I very much agree with this. No thanks to our failed government. Impunity thrives in the land when the needful is not done.

And I ask you, what is the next best alternative? Because from where I am sitting, the only answer is to engage these private security outfits.

OfficialSam:
The disturbing issue here is not compliance with respect to the payment of security fee, but the threat of illegal arrest and detention. That is so unlawful, and any enlightened victim can sue.

Again, restricting people's movement because they are not complying is another infringement of the right to freedom of movement.

It is the discretion of the residents to pay or not to. It is only voluntary, and not compulsory.

I totally agree but in sane climes. To quote our dear leaders, we live in a jungle and thus, WE MUST ADAPT. Someone earlier mentioned paying for literally everything, water, electricity poles etc despite paying tax. What does that tell you?

The insecurity in this country is so bad that our government is clueless on how best to address this. In the interim, what do you expect us all to do? Wait for the government to man up or be proactive and work together as a community to solve the issue? Your guess is as good as mine.

And why will you refuse to pay?

If you are uncomfortable with the amount, then call the community head and ask him what they intend to use the money for.

I don't know of any security personnel that will accept 15k per month as their salary. Their lives are literally on the line and they spend some of their nights on duty as well. We live in a country where we can't trust our local police and government to do the needful, so engaging these security outfits is non-negotiable or do you have a better alternative?

As for arresting people who won't pay, that's going a little bit overboard. In my residential area, what they do is to prevent defaulters from leaving the gated area with their personal vehicles until proof of payment is shown.

To those insisting that this is all wrong, I ask you all, WHAT IS THE ALTERNATIVE? This initiative is not perfect and can potentially breed and foster fraudulent acts, but then again, WHAT BETTER ALTERNATIVE DO WE ALL HAVE? If we truly want to address this head on, we should start by holding our government accountable. In the interim, your politicians, bishops, national/local pastors, MDs, CEOs and privileged classmates are all moving around with private security outfits.


@Op Pay the security fee.

Risky business. How much money is worth your life?

Rabble rouser. What a terrible way to live

I can tell easily when a content is generated by AI. It is completely souless

The key word here is pledge. Poor woman may never see the money

Not healthy in any form and way and yes you will gain it all back

Mirasteel:
All because he want people attention to shift from epstein list, what is Donald Trump afraid of? We all he's in the list and very guilty that's why he's doing everything to shift people's attention.

Thank you for reminding us. I almost fell victim to the plot. Bunch of wussies

Well, that settles it. Do take care. One can only hope that with this, she will stop her incessant attacks on Nigeria and her citizens.

Pretty sure some house officers and residents are crying noooooooooo now.

When we tried telling him, he failed to listen. Ego, Pride, Arrogance. Now, no one respects or fears America.

Out of concern indeed. I hope they find a lasting solution to this because people are literally starving

Kobojunkie:
It is not easy but it must be done and in the politest of ways too. Many times, a simple brushing of one's teeth will not make the problem go away, and this can happen to any one of us. It becomes very important, then, to ensure we are informed on the many possible causes of bad breath. (Bad habits or poor grooming are not the only reasons for bad breath.) This way, we don't go in assuming it is exactly for the reasons we think in our tiny minds.

Right now, I know my breath is bad. I do brush and floss, but it's mainly because I have not seen my dentist for my regular cleaning for a very long time now. So, whenever someone complains, I let them know that I already have an appointment to see a dentist for a cleaning soon, and smile. That typically puts the person at ease.

Well said

Hmmm

That's one way of rationalizing it. Hope you will be this understanding when she uses the same logic

I got tired of Trump drama several months ago. With this Epstein drama, be ready to hear more ridiculous news as a way to douse the news

DoctorShomo:
Whisper it to me, I won't tell anyone

Nah.... It remains buried in my mind

I know what I will do and it has nothing to do with stealing some money though tempting. Best not to say it out loud

It’s not feasible. The United States has approximately 342 million people, including women and children. Paying off that debt would require each individual, regardless of age, to contribute about $107,000.

What a headline. This child, who is not yet 18, survived a traumatic experience. She was sexually abused. Why do they need to remind the world of that?

I sense someone who wants to control the narrative and leech off a child who is struggling to make sense of this wicked world.

I hope she is safe.
