Congratulations...

Just remember that DNA is a most

I am certain op is wise enough not to take advise from someone guilty of malapropism.

You can keep being generous. Apparently, it is certain you have an evergreen money bag. If you are too unsanctimonious to be bae-d, your money should be treated with same feat.

immortalcrown:
Be in the HR or management position first before you make a fool of yourself.

Your entitlement mentality makes you think HR and management positions are less stressful than junior-staff positions. Ignorance is your problem. HR and managers get ideas to establish the organisation. They also face the major risks and threats to the organisation. But you think they just sit there to command you and enjoy money.

Let me ask you a simple equation. What is the heaviest burden of a company?

Pay no mind to this analogy. It is borne out of ignorance.

Darevofpeace:

Sierra Leone’s Dr. Abdul Karim Bangura is considered as the most educated man on earth.

Dr. Abdul is an author, academic administrator, researcher and a scientist.

He holds a B.A. in International Studies, an M.A. in International Affairs, an M.S. in Linguistics, a Ph.D. in Political Science, a Ph.D. in Development Economics, a Ph.D. in Linguistics, a Ph.D. in Computer Science, and a Ph.D. in Mathematics.

The good doctor has authored and/or edited 35 books and more than 250 scholarly articles.

The doctor can speak 19 languages including; English, Temne, Mende, Krio, Fula, Kono, Limba, Sherbro, Kiswahili, Spanish, Italian, French, Arabic, Hebrew, German, Swedish and fluent Kikuyu.

This is Amazing. This should be an easy feat to attain, safe for the deplorable system of our academic institutions.

Don't ask for anything. Tell him that the fact he has asked you what you want is a gift enough in it's self, and you are grateful for it.

The wisdom of this would become apparent to you in the future.

Hopefully, you've already invited asked him to your wedding next week.

I would do this too if I was in your shoes, op. Not necessarily as an act of reverse psychology, but a future investment. Doing this would make your boss see you in a different light and that itself, is a door opener.

bodeakanbi:

so long I’m sure of my stuff in terms of quality and considered price, criticize me, I don’t reply. There are people here that know good stuff and price too, they’ll dm you.

You are right! However, this issue needs to be addressed fair and square. If this isn't witchcraft then tell me what it is. Why should someone struggling to make e ds me legitimately be put through this? Yet we are quick to instigate illegitimate acts

ColonelMichael:


No try am, you must be posting ooo, it is fine to be angry when when irritated by these kind of people but don't lose your cool because of them.

Same thing I said to her. Looks like there is an evil cabal here that attacks promising businesses. Scammers come here to wreck havoc and nobody raises a red flag prior, so why do it with a woman that has proven beyond reasonable doubt that she isn't one?

Thurmieee:

For fridge wey you buy 90k last year.

That fridge was not purchased last year. Possibly earlier than that time...and if it was truly purchased last year, it was purchased as tokunbo.

Akwaibom1stlady:
I am even TIRED SEF! Una WIN! Will not post any product here again!!! Thank you, Thank You and Thank You!!....

Why do you want these bullies to win? My advise to you is that you shun these bullies. Address negative comments once and leave it be. No business man here has ever had it rosy. Ask Futurefocus. If this is a good market place for you, shun the criticism and thrive on. Cut down on the insults too. I know it hurts, but you are trying to build an image, so you can't throw words carelessly like them else you lose credibility.

Omihanifa:
The governor should first expand the roads before bringing buses that will be difficult to drive on those narrow roads.

At it stands now the way nigeria roads are designed these buses can't function well. It will create further traffic problems.

How do you expect these buses to comfortably ply a place like suleja without creating traffic gridlock

And you think these extensions/ expansions are not underway? Why criticise unconstructively and blindly? When was the last time you visited Minna?

Decolonel:
I wil try and be as brief as possible.

As a growing child, I watched lots of nollywood movies where young lovers who fell in love had to stick with each other through the rough times, suffer together and still end up in marriage. Then other scenarios where the same set of people had to break up due to some unreconcilable differences. Well, I was opportune to experience the former.

I met my fiancee in 2012 in the university while I was in medical school. It was a journey that later graduated into a beautiful lifetime happiness. I met her among other young girls in a fellowship gathering but there was something spectacular about her. Her jovial but shy disposition made her outstanding. I collected her no along side other gals no but kept on calling her. She was very respectful, loyal and caring. She gradually captured my heart and I asked her out after some weeks. We became best of friends. We shared almost everything in common except that I'm an sanguine and she is a melancholy. But we later clicked so fast.

Later I started having issues in medical school. She never left me. She was always there. My failures in medical school started giving me depression, she was also there. She never gave up on me. She would rather stay and help me braid my grown hairs so that I would be happy. She was the only one that understood me. She encouraged to strive on and always believe in myself. I gradually bounced back mentally, wrote my MB exam and passed all my professional exams.

Fast forward to 2020, I had finished medical school as a medical doctor, started my housemanship, proposed to her and she said 'yes'. We will be getting married this Dec, 2020.

Truly, true love exists but the problem is that people are not ready to work it out. There were times we quarrelled, but we later sorted our issues out. It was not rosy throughout. Most young girls are not ready to stick with one man to build him and build with him. A responsible man will always come back to that loyal babe who has always been there for him to settle down with. You can confirm from 2Baba.

So find that loyal babe who is ready to build with you, especially when u have a vision and a feasible plan to succeed in life. Trust me, you will find her and find true love.

This is beautiful. Kudos to you. I am glad you didn't dump her when things picked up for you.


It's been over three years, but I'm certain it's going to be bliss galore.

It is either she has a low libido or she is cheating. I won't advise you further on how to ease fornication.

I don't know if it's prototype but just something I can do on my laptop and present it to the supervisors during defence

You won't just need a prototype. You have to work your supervisor and even panelists (during defense) through your algorithm. You also have to run the software. In essence, you are designing a full blown software.

Goalnaldo:
Three days ago my girlfriend complained that I didn't touch her, I didn't come close to her as before. The next day I did some touches here and there ( ass grabbing) only for her to text me later in the night on WhatsApp saying I shouldn't be touching her again, that she think we're moving quickly, same person that complained barely 24 hrs ago. I was shocked 😲 in anger I told her I'll look for someone else that will allow me touch their body, she wrote "WHAT? and immediately blocked me on WhatsApp, I did the same too, nobody has monopoly of madness.

First things first, one experience is not enough to make you draw a generic conclusion.

ImFortress:



Thanks.

I don't even have this guy's time.

Na phone wey dey miss dey bother me.
25k na change.

But a disclaimer is very crucial for other unsuspecting people like me out there.

Thanks for the kind words.

I'm sure this disclaimer would prove handy in the future. Trust also, that this thief would meet his Waterloo soon.

Good job, super mum. Everything looks yummy.

ImFortress:



Our uniform men will just keep extorting you till you get tired or till they apprehend the culprit. Dem no dey help matters.

You'll have to be lucky or have connections for smooth tracking.

My pain is that, he would have scammed other people before me, and they didn't tag or quote him on here.

In as much as I made the mistake of not using escrow. I did a little background search on him and no one tainted his image. So, I'll do justice, so that no one falls for this account again.

One lesson I have had to learn when it comes to buying here is that no matter how stainless the person seems, do not thread virtually. Business should be done physically or you use an escrow. People don't also like to talk about their ordeals. I'm sure you noticed that some people were blaming you for not being on top of the situation.


Let us not ponder over spilled milk. My simple advise is to look for a sure military link or leave this be. Let karma deal with the thief. I know it's hard nut to swallow, but let go!


All the best!

NFBI:
What is bad in trusting someone?

Can't someone do the right thing for once?

I really wonder. Such thwarted mentality. These are people that enable scammers. They always yap about how the victim ought to have been smart...but are we supposed to lie and swindle people of their money?

ImFortress:
This Misterc guy posted under someone's comment that he can help track stolen phones.

So, after going through his account, seeing his account is over years old. And his post were consistent, I thought I could use his services.

I contacted him and sent imei on Monday 18/3/2024

We negotiated to 25k for tracking.

After I paid him

I had to mobilise people and Naval personnel.

He gave us a fake location screenshot.

Then went offline.

We went to the location to track the culprit, hoping he'd come online to share us live location. That's how this scammer kept us in the dark from 7pm to 10pm without taking calls. But the scammer came online on Nairaland around 11 to drop a comment but didn't bother to reply me who's been texting and calling since 7pm.


I called him with a different number the next morning being Tuesday and he picked and gave me some BS excuse, only to repeat the same "no response to text and call" again.



I called him again and he mistakenly picked and said we'd do it today by 10-11am being Wednesday. He's not responding.


Funny how I sent someone to pretend and text him on WhatsApp and he's replying fast. And even asking her to pay him 50k.

She asked him for his location, he said Alausa, she said shes in CV, that he should drop location to meet, he hasn't responded since




This is the scammers Opay

This is his 08071812272

Since it was a service-based transaction, you should have insisted on payment after service or escrow. Judging by the antecedent on this platform, it's safe to say that there are more scammers than legitimate business men( I stand to be corrected).

You should have entrusted the uniformed men to track the phone thief. I guess it's still not late to do so.


All the best!

In all honesty, it can't happen to my son in the first place, but if they chose to dare me, the teacher and the principal will go in for it.

I doubt if this harm was inflicted by a Teacher. There has been a paradigm shift from Teachers who beat to those who counsel and offer light/mild punishment to offenders.

Forumites:
they said the soldiers attacked them two times in two days before the retaliation.

And you know that is not true. Assuming there is an iota of truth in this narration, the slain soldiers would not have visit the community on that day without reinforcement

Kukutente23:

It's OK. I understand
Primary means of transport is roads not rail.
How can you have bad roads all over and be building rail
How does that make sense

These two factors are independent of each other. Has it ever occurred to you that if rail transportation suffices, the stress on our roads would be less, which would in turn provide succour to the roads The lesser stress our roads undergo on a daily basis, the lesser and longer it takes for the roads to deteriorate.

jeromestarks:
If you don't love a guy, don't collect anything from him. Do you know why? Read to the end.

A nairalander opened this thread
https://www.nairaland.com/8034677/trouble-man-not-stop-giving

Summary:
A guy she doesn't like was overtly nice to her and sends her gifts and cash without asking her out. She felt guilty. So one day, she texted him and insulted him. Seeing the text, the guy kept his distance. Soon he got a job and left town.
Years later they bumped into each other and the guy didn't look angry at all. In fact, he resumed his kind gesture and continued sending her gifts and more money as he has become richer. He even bought a ride.
Now, the stup.id girl is asking if she's in trouble.

You're living in bondage, you don't just know it yet.

The guy isn't stupid at all. As a matter of fact, he knows what he is doing very well.

This is it.
There are some women who has good luck around them. Once you connect with such women, you can never lack.
Some wise men quickly identify these women and become generous to them. As you give her, doors open for you. Sometimes, you don't have to give such women anything, just be in her mind and you will be receiving favor left and right.
You are one of such women!

The bad news however, is that, you will never grow in life. You will never be truly happy. You will never find love. Nothing good will last in your hand.

The worst part is that, as this man has sucked the good energy out of you and using it to progress, any other man that tried to love you will have nothing to get from you than bad luck!
If you stopped collecting gifts and cash from this guy, you will only be more miserable.
If you chase him away, you will only be more miserable.
If you hate him, you will only be more miserable.
Your best option now is to marry him so that the good he has taken from you will be spent on you.


You thought you were using him, while in actual sense, he is the one using you. NOTICE HOW HE GOT A JOB AND BECAME RICHER!


Finally, I pity any other man that will marry you. Your husband will just be toiling and toiling but he will never make it. If he has money before he met you, he will fall to zero the moment he entangles with you.


Guys, please be careful the kinda of women you fall in love with. Some of them, like the op, have sold their God-given favor by collecting gifts from men who understood the power of creation.
May I not meet a woman who is empty like the op.
Pray this prayer for yourself too.

Same thought crossed my mind. If you do not want to be associated with a person, distance yourself from his gifts and largesse too.

Alphamentips:
**This post is for only those who have had the experience and can advise better***
Don't comment ANYTHING if you have no progressive input to make.

So my bro's iphone 15 entered Ikeja Int'l Airport and it has been seized by 'Customs' and now 'NDLEA' according to them.

They are asking for N1.4meter as clearance fee.
And i'm confused as why? He even went ahead (before reporting the case to me) to contract another customs officer who doesn't work at the airport and has already paid the sum of 800k yet the phone isn't cleared and the contracted customs officer is asking him to pay #100k extra to top up the money.

I'm mad because I've told him b4 now to always use a 3rd party shipping company when importing device or give to friends who are returning from US or CA to bring in while coming back but him no dey too get patience.

>>> NOTE: He has already sent all documents DHL guys asked for including- purchase receipts and every other evidence to show it is legit purchase.

So here are my questions:

My first question is this: Is this an illegal operation because I am willing to take it up with the so called Customs & DHL guys by reporting this to the Lagos State Task Force office. If yes, how do i go about reporting this issue?

I already suggested he contacts the Human Right Activist, Harrison Gwanishnu on IG for help as it clearly feels like a ripoff!

2ndly, is there a procedure to reporting fraud in public offices that will ensure that you get justice?

3rdly, isn't import duties charged based on the weight of the item imported as against the value of the item?
4thly, what is the safest way of importing phones to avoid such issues as this is the 2nd time this is happening.

I suggested asking the shipping company to send it back to US but he'll have to pay like 600k according to the those crooks at the DHL office..

Omo! I just tire

This doesn't seem right. Those customs officials are simply looking for a leeway to make some easy cash. They assumably figured that your brother may be into cyber crimes and rolling out such amount to clear these items won't be a problem. If possible, get the officials' names and call them out on twitter. tag necessary authorities too.

Places that don't have road

Pardon my ignorance, but what have roads got to do with rail projects?

Depriest2020:
I think we made the right choice electing governor Umar Bago. I pray for a discerning mind for you to take Niger state to a greater height.

I think it's soon to draw this conclusion. Some of his moves don't seem strategic or well thought out. Let's wait it out and see.

jeromestarks:

Awwwn. You so sweet.

Have you ever done introspect? I'm not saying you are the problem because I think these things happen to people who are nice, but an introspect is necessary. Try to figure out if there are loopholes in your life that you should fix.

MrCork:



sweeery dont mind dat yeye OP jeromestarks boy....he sufarrrrin from a ilness called japa Jolongpapalick mangonekalis orange: A sickness u get from woman rejection. He askin us to give him moiney. can u imagine!!!! ((true Story))

LOL! From where did you concoct this story?

These experiences shouldn't bother you. Clearly these people are the problem. Just try to keep an open mind and forge ahead.

uzomakanaki:
Hell no. He's wife will hear about this.

And you think she doesn't know about her husband's ways?

uzomakanaki:
Good day Nairalanders.

What could make a lady date her fiancee's colleague? I'm done with ladies for now. This a bad experience.

I got a job for my now ex fiancee in the organisation where I work. We dated for 2 years. She was posted to a different branch office not far from mine.

A year on the job I began hearing rumours that she's going out with a senior colleague of mine in the same office with me. Those that I heard it from didn't know we were dating.

I confronted her and she denied it. I was not comfortable with her response, and one day she came to spend the weekend with me, I decided to go through her chat, I could not believe what I saw in her chat with this guy in question.

They've gone far to the extent of having sex with themselves which was said in the chat.

The next morning I confronted her with evidences of what I saw in her chat with my colleague, she became furious that I had no right to check her chat, with no sign of remorse. I was broken and at that point ended the relationship.

I've requested for a transfer out of that branch, cos I want to deal with this guy. Cos he's fully aware we were dating and have met us on different occasion outside.

Since the break up with my ex, he has been avoiding me in the office.

I never saw a dirty attitude in her at the early stage of our relationship, I never knew I was ready to marry a full blown LovePeddler who's looking for a platform to sell herself.

But for the guy I'll deal with him.

Count your losses and seek for that transfer. You were lucky to have noticed this before marriage. Forget about dealing with your boss, let karma take care of that.




All the best!
