Christianity EtcRe: How God Dealt With Billionaires Who Queried Me Over Their Tithe – Pastor Adeboye by ebosed: 10:10am On May 20
Kobojunkie:
Where do you get this idea that you can pray a person into Holiness abeg? No be these same gods of men lie to una say una fit do so? Even Jesus Christ was not able to pray Judas holy, e come to be you wey go fit to pray holiness into the life of another man? Tueh! angry
Thank God you know your bible small. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
PropertiesRe: My Landlord Gave Me Quit Notice For Demanding For My Right by ebosed: 9:53am On May 20
Mistermoon:
Please, I need advice on what to do.
The community disconnected electricity supply to our compound because the landlord did not pay a community electrification due (money for transformer) that predates our tenancy and the landlord gave only me a quit notice with 30 days ultimatum because I was the only one brave enough to demand that he pays the due so that electricity can be restored to the house.

I want to take him up legally but I need guidance on how to go about it plus L do not personally know a lawyer.
What you described raises two separate issues:

the electricity disconnection caused by a debt that existed before your tenancy, and
the landlord giving only you a quit notice after you challenged him.

In Nigeria, tenants generally have legal protection against retaliatory actions by landlords, especially where the tenant is simply demanding that the landlord fulfill obligations connected to the property. A landlord also cannot lawfully evict a tenant just by issuing a 30-day notice and throwing the person out immediately afterward; there is still a legal eviction process through the court.

Here’s a practical way to approach this.

1. Start gathering evidence immediately

Before taking any legal step, preserve evidence carefully.

Keep copies or screenshots of:

Your tenancy agreement or rent receipts
The quit notice
Any WhatsApp chats, SMS, emails, or recordings with the landlord
Messages from the community association about the transformer/electricity due
Proof that the debt predates your tenancy
Evidence that the entire compound lost power
Names/contact of neighbors willing to confirm what happened

Also write down:

Dates electricity was disconnected
Dates you complained
When the quit notice was issued
Any threats or intimidation

This timeline becomes very important if the matter reaches court.

2. Do not move out immediately because of the notice alone

A quit notice is usually only one step in the eviction process.

In most Nigerian states, a landlord still generally needs:

valid notice,
recovery of premises procedures,
and a court order before forcible eviction.

So unless a court has ordered eviction, the landlord cannot legally:

lock you out,
remove your property,
disconnect services specifically to force you out,
or harass you into leaving.

If he attempts self-help eviction, that can strengthen your case against him.

3. Send a formal written response first

Before filing a lawsuit, it is often better to send:

a formal complaint letter, or
a lawyer’s demand letter.

This serves three purposes:

creates a paper trail,
shows seriousness,
may pressure him to settle,
and can later help in court.

The letter should state:

the electricity debt predates your tenancy,
the disconnection affects habitability,
you believe the quit notice is retaliatory,
and you want restoration of electricity and withdrawal of harassment.

You do not necessarily need a senior lawyer for this stage.

4. Where to get affordable or free legal help in Lagos

You said you do not personally know a lawyer. You still have several options.

Legal Aid Council of Nigeria

They provide assistance to people who cannot easily afford private lawyers.

Legal Aid Council of Nigeria

Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) branches

You can contact the local NBA branch for referrals to lawyers handling landlord-tenant disputes.

Nigerian Bar Association

Citizens Mediation Centre (Lagos)

Since you are in Lagos, this is especially useful. They handle landlord-tenant disputes and mediation at low or no cost.

Lagos Citizens Mediation Centre

Mediation can sometimes get electricity restored faster than litigation.

Office of the Public Defender (Lagos State)

They provide legal assistance to residents of Lagos in certain civil matters.

Lagos State Office of the Public Defender

5. If you decide to sue

Possible claims may include:

unlawful interference with quiet enjoyment of the property,
retaliatory eviction,
harassment/intimidation,
unlawful attempt at eviction,
damages for loss of electricity or inconvenience.

A lawyer can tell you which applies best under your state tenancy law.

In many cases, merely receiving a lawyer’s letter or mediation invitation causes landlords to back down.

6. Be strategic emotionally and practically

Since you are the only tenant who challenged him, avoid confrontational exchanges going forward.

Keep communication written and polite.
Avoid insults or threats.
Do not stop documenting events.

Also think practically about:

whether you ultimately want to remain there,
or negotiate time/compensation and relocate peacefully.

Sometimes the legal goal is not necessarily “winning a lawsuit,” but:

restoring electricity,
stopping harassment,
recovering costs,
or buying enough time to move safely.

PetsRe: A Stray Cat Gave Birth In Our House by ebosed: 5:14pm On May 05
I have over 20 kittens. CATS are very sensitive animal. If you sell any of it kitten, he would not trust you with any other kitten. They did not stray, they deliberate avoid letting know they gave birth.


brain54:
It's like cats have that bad habit of straying away from their owners home to give birth...


I've noticed it happen many times even though I have never kept cats.


The other time someone was complaining to me the way he noticed his cat's movement he suspected it had given birth somewhere... and he was observing to know where (And there are many places it could have given birth in his compound o)

And boom really we noticed the cat had given birth in the next compound. He had to go take the kittens from the compound and the compound people were almost claiming the kittens as theirs!
Car TalkRe: A Litre Of Fuel Today Would Buy This Peugeot Car In 1977 by ebosed: 4:19pm On Mar 09
DeclanR:
This is how pathetic Nigeria has become.

I'm short of words, Honestly.
In 1977 Exchange Rate: $1 = ₦0.647
So, NGN1,080 = $1,669.24 in 1977.
How much is $1 today? Multiply by $1,669.24 = NGN2,253,477.59
This is how much that car is worth today, not the cost of fuel.

Christianity EtcRe: Paul Adefarasin Granted Bail. Pastor Held ‘Prohibited Stun Gun’ - Police by ebosed: 2:44am On Jun 19, 2025
Stun guns and Tasers or electroshock weapons more broadly are not classified as firearms under Nigerian law. Instead, they fall under the category of "offensive weapons", which carries different rules.

Legal Status of Stun Guns in Nigeria

No license required: You don’t need police clearance, import/export permits, or any formal licensing to buy, own, carry, sell, or use stun guns (including Tasers and pepper sprays) in Nigeria
researchgate.net

Legal for self-defense: Ownership and use is legal only when it’s for genuine self-defense
nigerianfinder.com
.
Illegal with criminal intent: Using or possessing a stun gun with intent to commit a crime (e.g., burglary, assault), or carrying it in suspicious circumstances (like at night with a mask), is a criminal offense punishable by up to 3 years imprisonment
nigerianqueries.com

Legal Basis

The regulations stem from several Nigerian statutes:

Criminal Code Act (Sections 1, 403B, 408, 223–225)
Firearms Act 1959 (Sections 1–2)
Robbery & Firearms (Special Provisions) Act 1984 (Sections 11–12)
Public Order Act 1979 (Sections 8(3), 13)

Note that while stun guns are mentioned, the Firearms Act’s license requirements apply only to prohibited firearms (e.g., military rifles, machine guns)—not to non-lethal devices like stun guns.

EducationRe: Is This Proper In A Private School Settings? by ebosed: 12:42pm On May 01, 2024
tuzle:
I was discussing with a friend of mine who is a teacher in a private school. I jokingly told him that as par there will be a public holiday tomorrow, that he would have a day rest when work hasn't started yet. That was how he told me that the school asked them to come around tomorrow, that they will be going for publication to distribute fliers around the environment.

Now my problem with this is that this particular school each arm has A to E (for example jss1 A to E) and they have more than 30 students in each class. So I was wondering why they are now troubling their teachers for something that isn't in their job description.

Like why can't the owner employ people to help him do the publication or go to radio or tv station for advert and the fact the teachers won't be paid for what they are doing as it is counter by the owner as part of their work. Is this behavior proper because it kinds of sounds annoying to me working in the sun on a public holiday just because of the owners selfish interest.

File photo
1. Was your friend allowed to enjoy 3 weeks Holiday in April?

2. Was your friend allowed to enjoy 3 weeks Holiday in In December, 2023.

3. Was your friend allowed to enjoy 6 weeks Holiday in July/August 2023?

If the answer to all these is yes. It means your friend had 3months paid holiday in 12 months.

4. Does the Labour law in nigeria guarantee that any employee would be granted 3months paid vacation? If the answer is No.

Then, with these few points of mine, l hope I have been able to convince you that doing your job and doing some more (not in your job description) is not too much.

One day, you would need some unplanned day off to deal with some personal issues (health issues, family emergency, post graduate exams, extended maternity or paternity leave…etc). What you sow now is what you would reap then.

I sympathize with your friend, but take it easy, life is simple and easy, for those who see it that way. I am spending my holiday now in the hospital looking after a friend.

Why does over speeding kill in only in that section of the road? Why on the bridge?

FRSC should always be objective and honest about the primary cause of the accident and the secondary cause.

Overspending could be the primary cause, but what about addressing the secondary cause. The road level and bridge level is too steep for unsuspecting road users. The government should get the contractors to level it up. This is the many reason vehicle skip off into the river.

This is not blaming anyone, this is preventing another one from happening.

Use your law makers representing you to ban open grazing, period. That is the only way to criminalize open grazing. We all grew up seeing herds of cow graze around. Now that we don't want it because of the kidnappers and crime associated with it, just outlaw it. Period.

All this talk and no action serves no good. Until it is outlawed open grazing is not a criminal offence.

At best, you can only sue them to court for unlawful trespass.

FamilyRe: Three Experiences That Make Me Think I'm Married To The Wrong Person by ebosed: 4:51am On Jan 23, 2021
DEmejioba1:
I got married in 2018,since then I have been battling with some unimaginable experiences with my wife even when I thought I married to a religious lady.

To cut the story short,

Prior to our marriage, things was not so good enough for me but because of age consideration of both of us we decided to wed with the help of our families.

The first thing that happened which caught me thinking afterward was that during our make up to wedding,my wife insisted that she's receiving 50k dowry which she knew I wouldn't be able to get it just shortly before the wedding. I told her that there is no way I could afford it then that she should reduce it may be to 20k, she said I should not worry that things will be sorted out. A day to the wedding she told me that when it's segment for dowry collection that she would pronounce that she had collected it. I said no problem. Since then I have not been able to pay it because she wants full cash. Now, any slide misunderstanding she refers to it.

Secondly, immediately after the marriage,I was left with 60k which I thought we would manage to get a room and a parlour apartment for a start, just to do according to my pocket in my present rent house. But my wife insisted that we should let 2 bedroom flat at 100k but knowing fully that my source of income would not maintain it couple with other obligations that I would be discharging. She said, she would lend me 40k.
Thank God I was able to pay her the money. But still thinking over wasteful of almost 50k,while 150k can secure a land for bulding house in my area.

Thirdly, few months after our marriage. We were having misunderstanding and I carelessly said if the marriage can not work it better we go our separate ways, my wife holds on this statement and continue saying that she just need me to say it twice more and the marriage is over.

But I used to think over all these with other ones that I cant write, then, I ask myself if truly she loves me or may be am with wrong person.

What is your thought about this?
You give woman sperm, she process and give you a child. Never speak carelessly, Never promise her anything, cause she won't forget. Don't talk and do. Do and talk.

Your wife is trying to boost your self-esteem, appreciate her. And pay her money. If you borrow from bank or friends, don't you payback with Interest?

Double your hustle
