StilmaVsBorn2w:
Back then when my mom was warning me not to go that far when our relationship started She kept on insisting I should go for the girls in my tribe, I thought she was just been a tribalist bigot. If only I had listened

She bore me a son, he's 3years now... though her people knows me well from normal visitation..but I haven't been able to pay her bride price yet due to the hardship this regime has on us. life happened, unfortunately she got sick since February, ever since then from one hospital to another..I took several loans from people for hospital bills to the point of me looking sick myself.so sad for us we lost her last night.

I informed her elder brother who knows about all thats happening, he called me back this morning to tell me that his people told me to be prepared to marry her corpse. He went further and said if I don't pay her bride price, my boy will be taken from me and I should be ready to withstand the consequences.
I was surprised, I called for the burial arrangements not for a marriage ceremony

I blantly told him, I won't, why would I get married to her corpse. He was angry and cut the call on me.

Am more concerned about my son, please lawyer's in the house do they have any right to take my son away from me?
Even if they do am ready to give it to them, but spending money to Marry her corpse I will not.

I only brought this here, if had chance for my son whose still in my custody.

Sorry bro
Its a trade off between marrying or custody of the child, it's just paying the bride price and not big wedding, even in my locality it's still somehow enforce.
On legal basics you can claim to be the father of the child when you have not fully married her officially.
There's is common saying mother are the owner of the child, and in that case you have not own her.
My two cents.

SmartProf:

The OP doesn't even know the meaning of genocide. He is just like a village town crier who decided to pass an information with big English for the first time.

What is the meaning of genocide? And what is the magnitude or number of people killed before you accept it as genocide.

SarkinYarki:
One tanker is not enough to commit genocide,

The important thing is the he give out the necessary info. And concerning the magnitude that can equate to genocide should not be your pority, perhaps if you stay or seen tanker explosion you will understand better.

Understanding China Belt and Road initiative and debt trap diplomacy in Africa
Ibitomi olawale olalowo

The rise of China in terms of their economy and power throughout the years has caused other nations to view them as a potential threat to become the global hegemony in the future, In 2013, President Xi Jinping proposed that China would create a “Silk Road Economic Belt” across Central Asia and Europe and a “21st Century Maritime Silk Road” running through the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean, on to the Middle East and Europe — programs meant to revive ancient trade routes and reinforce existing ones. Beijing quickly wove these two visions together and dubbed them the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
While seemingly aimed at regional economic corridors, the BRI is in fact global and motivated by economic and strategic interests. The initiative is generally popular in the developing world, where almost all countries face infrastructure deficiencies and a shortage of resources to overcome them. Through large amounts of loans to participating countries to construct infrastructure in various sectors, the BRI can potentially bring significant benefits to these countries by filling their infrastructure gaps and boosting economic growth, China loan are largely from its important policy bank, the China development bank and the export-import bank of China (EXIM bank). According to EXIM bank the main objective is for China to construct infrastructure in transport, power, water supply and other sector, a further strategic consideration is that China would like to have alternates route to transport natural resources, route that are not controlled by the U.S and its allies.
Debt-trap diplomacy is a concept in international finance used to describe a powerful lending country or institution extending debt to a borrowing nation partially or solely for the lender to increase its political leverage. The term "Debt-trap diplomacy" was originally coin by Brahma Chellancy. The creditor country is said to extend excessive credit to a debtor country with the intention of extracting economic or political concessions after the debtor country becomes unable to meet its debt repayment obligations. The conditions of the loans are often not made public, and often come with conditions that suit the lender. The borrowed money commonly pays contractors and materials sourced from the creditor country. The term has been applied to institutions like the international monetary fund (IMF), but especially to the People’s Republic of China (PRC).

The primary concept of the Belt and Road Initiative encourages reciprocity, wherein the countries are pressured to become indebted to China given they have granted loans for the infrastructures that would aid in the advancement of the country’s economy. Although China claims that they mean well when it comes to their intentions with the BRI, the countries that they choose to negotiate with are those that come from the developing world. Less developed nations already owe an outstanding debt to the IMF and the World Bank and entering negotiations with China would add to their dilemma of financial deficit (Shah, 2018). How does China expect those countries to shell out funds for the Belt and Road Initiative when such nations are already drowning in debt in the first place? China intentionally dealt with poorer nations because they expect that they would not be able to pay their debts and in return, China takes it as an advantage to expand their territories on the global stage. Sri Lanka is an example of a country that was compelled to hand over control of the Southern port of Hambantota to China last December 2017, which in turn gave China an easy access to India whom they consider as a rival (Mantesso, 2018). Tajikistan also handed a disputed border to China in order to repay their debts, and last April 2018 they also handed over their gold mine as renumeration for the funds that aims to build a powerplant (Furukawa, 2018). Other states such as Dijbouti, Laos, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Montenegro and the recent Uganda airport have been used as a form of debt relief wherein they resort to the option of giving off natural resources such as oil to make up for their unpaid debt. And in Dijbouti, China just recently developed its first naval base (Hurley, Morris, & Portelance, 2018). Those cases serve as evidence that China has a hidden agenda to expand their geopolitical realm around the world through the Belt and Road Initiative.
According to voice index 2017 Nigeria borrow $500 million for Abuja light rail, the terms are 20 years with 7 years grace period and a fixed interest rate of 2.5%. Also according debt management office (DMO) as of march 31 2021 Nigeria owned China $3.402 billion, the amount covers 11 loan facilities from china EXIM Bank since 2010.
Nevertheless, countries who engage with China’s Belt and Road initiative should think twice and establish limitations as to how much loans they plan to negotiate with if they do not want to fall into the trap of China that would leave their country indebted, and possibly even controlled by Chinese authorities

This dude is funny... Very funny

Don't you know that in invoice and receipts they write the figures in words also....


This guy is very funny....

Well you may not understand what am trying to say, have help many Igbo guys in bank to fill the slip and at time they contract me to check the number of zero and the one written in words.
Though am not saying everybody there are some.
Read to understand.

ariesbull:
who writes receipts and invoice for them in their shops and how do they do the business with Chinese....

Figure and word are different biko

Wawelexy:


My brother did you just say hardwork? They call the hardworking people workaholic... Dem go tell u say u no follow person wey know road....

Boys of 18-23 years owning a house on the island with latest cars with no legitimate hustle, they hide under the guise of doing yahoo, as if say oyinbo never wise.... All they do is pure ritual.

Had an encounter with one at the bank, he approached me to help him fill withdrawal form, all he could write was his name and figure he wants to withdraw, can't write the amount in word(this is a boy of roughly 22-25 years oo).

Was now wondering how someone who can only write his name chats with a foreigner to the extent of duping him/her....

Using your logic, I don't want to sound tribalistic but are some young Igbo business man in that categories.
So don't generalise
Although you may be right.

What of IFA worshippers, atheists etc?

PaedophileProph:


"pay attention to public institution" you say ?

Which federal institution demand religious fund as yardstick to gain access to their resources ?

Look I wouldn't care less if it's a practice in state owned institutions , as we have seen Northern states taking more religious turns in their administration which shouldn't be in a secular country like ours .

Still waiting on your Federal institutions with religious clause for donation/identity before accessing them

I don't usually associate without people who a statement with I don't care, so therefore I will leave you to maintain your myopic illusions mindset.

PaedophileProph:


You must be out of your mind , you can tell that to people you aimed to misinform.

What has mandatory religious donation or identification got to do with a research citabel of learning built to house just anyone from all works of life ?

Wtf cares about mandatory funding of Mosques or Church or whatever in the university. Do you even know where to draw the line

Misinformation
This is public space try to be civil and mature.
Who care about mandatory funding for religion should be your heading, not RELIGION as a determinants for school fees.
And besides if you don't know pay attention throughout the public institution it's demanded
Once again shun fake news.

Danjikanbauchi:
What a way to kill that great premier University.

Islam as a religion has never contributed anything positive to this our beautiful world

That is not the story

It's very necessary to understand the basis of an issue before insulting or trying to blackmail the institution, the religion section indicate the overall amount that will be sent to either mosque or church account for development.
As a Christian you are require to pay #500, it's just a pity you don't indicate how much you are to pay as a Muslim.
Pls don't mislead the public.

Happy Sunday Nairalanders. I need advice from bankers in the house.My father has been sick for quite sometimes now that he doesn't know where he is.We are three sons two daughters he has,our mother passed away for a long time now.My father has an account of which we his children know the his password because he do send us to withdraw money atimes.Ever since he has been sick,my elder brother has been in position of his phone and he has been making unnecessary transfer from our fathers account,I got to know about the unnecessary transfer via the bank app I have on my phone.Is it possible for me to go to the bank and change the sim connected to the account to another sim without him knowing because I have all the bank details but am afraid the bank would notify him and if he gets to know,he will deal with me.I want to do it because he's spending the money uselessly and I my father gets well,he would be very mad at him.Elders in the house what do I do plz

If he get to know he will deal with me!!!!!!
Confront him, that is the only solution.

Bahamas95:
Which mumu work? Na only dem get work? We have never defaulted until that day and even showed them the money but they were still behaving like wizards. E get how you go beg devil sef he go pity for you unlike Nigerian police officers and PHCN officials.

Same line of narrative.

Bahamas95:
I don't even know who is better between policemen and BEDC officials. Some came to our compound last month to disconnect our light. We have never defaulted even with the epileptic power supply. A neighbour that was supposed to pay the bill forgot and the guys came that afternoon. We pleaded with them that they shouldn't disconnect it that we would go and pay that very day and even showed them the money but the idiots still insisted on disconnecting it. What even provoked me was when one of them said "Na my work I dey do o".........That statement vex me eh, I asked him one question. " Bros if na your mama dey stay this compound you go disconnect her light because you dey do your work?" The idiot couldn't answer, he was just beating around the bush. We stopped begging them and asked them to do their worst and walked out on them. They didn't disconnect it again and left with their ladder.

Let him do his work, people judge from there narrative, turn the table how will feed his family, when most use the same narrative.
