Babangidapikin:
It's just a Non Disclosure Agreement... (NDA) ...standard practice so you don't disclose confidential information to third parties.

Thanks for your input.

Mindlog:


What is the big deal about not disclosing what was stated in the agreement or are you the type that itch to share work related information?

Not really, I don't discuss that much being an introvert. I'm just skeptical as it is my first encounter with such.

LordReed:


Then that NDA is probably unenforceable. However, take it to a lawyer to advice you.

Alright thanks
I latter learnt that NDA's are different from NCA's(Non-compete agreement). I'll try to look around for a lawyer.

LordReed:


Is it also a non-compete agreement? Some companies impose a duration of non-competing activities after disengagement as part of their job contracts, is that part of what you signed?

No it wasn't part of what I signed just the NDA no non-compete.

Wujio:
Calm yourself down abeg. We sign many of such from time to time. Get a lawyer and stop seeking attention

Honestly It's not about seeking attention. The wordings is given me serious concerns being my first encounter and I don't know a lawyer close by.

Good day everyone,
Please I need your advice!
A company based in Germany that I applied to recently approved my application for a job and they gave me an NDA document to sign before I begin. The excitement of securing my first job didn't make me read the terms well enough, so I just glanced through it a bit and signed.

When I sat down to review the documents again I felt very cold, shivery and worried about the implications of violating the terms. Because a penalty for mistaken violation could land me in a court far away and ruin my entire life and reputation with legal consequences.

I have been very skeptical about this issues, and I'm even afraid to even post anything about my skills on social media to avoid legal problems. I considered quiting the job for my mental health sake, but the legal terms I signed still binds me for about 6 years and it kind of restricts me from show casing my current skills publicly even if I choose to quit.

Please have you had any experience signing an NDA for a job as a worker, or as a freelancer?
Even if you haven't please I will like to have your advice on this.

advanceDNA:
Baba relax....

Lol .....Na so NDA dey be......always expecting you not to work or even die once u leave their company ... the lawyers/risk managers wey dey write those things are always on Colombian cocaine...

I...most of the time the nonsense they write in those document, which they expect u to abide by often violates your rights as a human being

No NDA can prevent you from totally working and survival for years....... No matter the nonsense they wrote in that their nonsense document and u signed...

.. I've been there ...so I know what I am saying.... When a good lawyer pieces that nonsense they always write in that their NDA, u will see it has very little power in totally preventing you from working........as long as u are not releasing any trade secrets, unique line of code u wrote for them that's key to their product...... Baba u go dey alright

Yeah ..some NDA can restrict u from working for a company that does exactly the same thing as ur former coy....that's normal especially if u are part of product development/ R & D

.but that doesn't mean u wont able to use ur skill at all in another unrelated or slightly related company, or to stand on your own

Thanks for your input! it is well appreciated.

Good day everyone,
Please I need your urgent advice!
A company based in Germany that I applied to recently approved my application for a job and they gave me an NDA document to sign before I begin. The excitement of securing my first job didn't make me read the terms well enough, so I just signed after glancing it a bit, just the way we barely read terms and conditions.

When I sat down to review the documents again I felt very cold, shivery and worried about the implications of violating the terms. Because a penalty for violation could land me in a court far away and ruin my entire life and reputation.

I have been very skeptical about this issues and considered quiting but the legal terms I signed still binds me for some years and kind of restricts me from show casing my current skills publicly even if I choose to quit.

Please have you had any experience signing an NDA for a job as a worker, or as a freelancer? Please I will like to have your advice on this because a case of mistaken violation could put my life at a very big risk if I don't act fast.

The Gap is wide now.... O wrong now... Do you guys live alone?

We live with a guardian.

RSVP:
Nah see finish nah.
I no understand all dus small small boiz3this days. Bcuz dem Don dey smoke, drink and got into one confra level so dem believe say dem fit rude to people anyhow.
You sef need to be wise. It's clearly you no too tap as per street wise hence the way he's reacting to you....


Firstly prepare for a real fight. Just trap him by asking him to do something for you and of course he would decline and give ham real strong face and beat the hell out of him, like beat him like baby. But you have to apply wisdom to this step oo .. Make sure nah you and him dey house that time and no other person cuz him sef go want prove himself too if him clique dey around and he might eventually wound you so you better guide well .... And after that, start keeping strong face and give him meters away where ever you are.. Don't buy him ANYTHING or else he ask politely... No dey shine teeth with ham and whenever his werey friends dey around just bounce out and no relate with any of them. Keep tight face around them... This trick would work or else he's into cultist.. Do no use this method if you noticed he's into cultist.


Secondly, you should start keep distance with him henceforth.. No beating, no all those unnecessary cappins. in fact you need to start drawing lines and as bro.. Dey command ham straight up and don't talk more than once... You been dey jonz with him making him see you as an idiot. So you need to stand up and stop fooling yourself around him..

I once had a friend junior ones trying to use me catch cruise when they started smoking and drinking thinking I be their mate.. I clear them one ofter other and I start playing their silly games with them.. They stop disrespecting me to my face at least they aren't doing it to my face anymore. They fit dey yarn anyhow when I no dey around but them dey comport when I dey around. . The thing about all these small boiz is they will start talking rudely to your face with their clique if you don't shot them down asap.. Go for the big fish among them and the others will sit tight.

Lastly, try and make money or just stop staying indoor all the time.. Let your face scares small for area and when you show no ddey give them face at all. .. I dey vex as I dey type sef smh

Thanks bro me self dey vex ever since cos I have never been treated like this by strangers but a boy I carried on my hands when he was born, and watched him grow feels he is now strong and muscular enough to challenge me.

The last time I warned him he told me to my face that he is not afraid of me.

talktrue1234:


Welcome to manhood bro, what you are going through is what many people experience in the hands of women, yes including their mothers. The sad reality is your mom is an accomplice in all that is happening, but you shouldn't take it to heart or use that to react with her, or dislike, she is your mother no matter what.

Their eyes go soon clear, just make sure you work hard, never, never be lazy, don't hate them, give them time and space if you can, but don't change towards them, your brother is immature, their are things he can't deal with at his age, women too love money too much and their heart is always at whoever can satisfy that love for money.

Also if you have a girlfriend or fiancée, don't tell her what is happening in your house, it will end in more problems for you if you do.

There is a possibility you have even being spending from what your brother makes from fraud, especially if you have being collecting allowance from your mom, you can trace many of the money to your brother, don't be sad when you realize this bro.

Those are things that makes African men grow up, trust me if you work hard and maybe give them space if possible, all what you are experiencing is just a stage in your life.

Your brother will learn with time, just know that he is being foolish and he is letting his teenage hormone control him, when he finally calm down, and learn his mistakes be very ready to forgive him and laugh it off, that will also help him to forgive himself.

But bro most importantly find something doing, something that will benefit you when you graduate, don't finish school and go back home waiting for your mom to give you food and shelter freely.

If you are a Christian try to pray and read the bible it will give you the hope you need during this period. Work hard smartly too bro and don't join your brother in fraud, good luck

Thanks for your time. I'm blessed by your words.

frozen70:


Where are your parents in this picture

How old is your junior brother that you can't beat that nonsense out of his life

Until the whole street starts laughing at you before you will take action

Anyway report him to your parents, let's start with that

I reported him to my guardian but she never took any action to caution him.

themanderon:
You cannot deal with a boy you are 9yrs older than? Lock him in and whoop his butt. What rubbish. I never disrespected my elder brothers so why would my younger one disrespect me? No teenager can disrespect me and go scot free. Where are your parents in all of these? Are they aware their kid is now into the business of robbing people? That boy is a ticking time bomb. A Yahoo boy with no respect is a recipe for disaster.

My guardians have always been in support of him.

When I told him to stop doing Yahoo else I'll cease his phone my aunty retorted that it doesn't concern me that I should leave him. I had to walk away in anger.

Nyanabo:


Check the past you would see where you got it all wrong with him, I dare say you gave him too much room while growing up.

Like you I have a 17yr old brother he just finished waec while I am 22yr old and a graduate. I never gave my siblings room to insult me. when the play was getting too much I cut it short, and when it comes to serious matters I treat it as such.

Right now what you should do is pay less attention to him, leave the house frequently just keep yourself busy but never engage him in a fight as you would loose your self respect.. and try to forgive him not for his sake but for your peace of mind.

And concerning the group of children he gathers to insult you he doesn't know he is also making a a way for them to insult him one day just report them to their parents.

When he was much younger, whenever I disciplined or correct him for his wrongs, my aunty usually takes sides with him and picks up a quarrel with me.

I'll do as you've rightly said. Thanks for your advice.

Samzzy94:




Hmmmm....I had this same issue years back and I know that feeling. The thing is that you shouldn't expect him to respect you because you are just his elder brother, like you said, he is into internet fraud and he must have lost every sense of morals. For now that you are still at home, just try to avoid getting into a physical fight with him cos trust me, you might not like the outcome. And don't do that mistake of buying him things now that you guys are not in good terms, it will give him the impression that you are scared of him and want to bribe him with your gifts. Just try to maintain yourself in that house no matter the insults and disrespect till you go back to school....Start planning to live on your own after school and don't ever think of going back to the house to live there.... That is the only way you can get a little bit of your self respect back....Cos with the level he has gotten to ehn... confrontation would not get you anywhere

Thank you so much I appreciate.

Dameland:


This is not a good advice. A brother who can gather others to mock you will not hesitate to stab you during a fight. Your mum will end up loosing a son or two if you engage in violence. Just ignore him

This has been the reason why I held myself back despite the anger within.

harmony75:
just be calm he will be disgraced but you will still not like it because you love him he's your blood..internet fraudster can't have joy because at anytime he's in soup.. keep correcting him when you can, he will still regret what he's doing Naw ti you his senior brother. sometimes the things our parents says in presence of the younger ones makes them to disrespect the senior so I blame your parents but just believe you will laugh last ���

You're totally right most things my guardians say makes him feel he can behave any how around me without been questioned.

Regex:


I have been in your shoes. My younger brother was a pain in the ass right from childhood. I am a very hot tempered guy. Each time I want to react, mama would step in either physically or emotionally. Well this year I put an end to such rubbish to the point our last born is seriously scared of me. He did not believe I could do it.


What did I do? I stopped talking to him to desist from angering me, I stopped the warning... And allowed him to get me to my limits. What I did to him after that is one memory he will take to the grave.

This is what you should.
Stop telling him to desist from insulting you. Allow him make you angry enough and then descend on him (note my junior brother was way bigger than me, like twice my size, but I beat the hell out of him like he was kid (he's a kid)). As for the neighbourhood kids saying derogatory things about you, ignore them. By the time you beat your brother up, they'd stay put.

Also take it into account that your brother might be in cult or involve cultist into the show, once they come, tell them this is family issue and hence they should mind their business. Call the police on all of them (army is better) including your brother.

Ps: don't tell them you'd call the police on them. (wrong move).

Thanks I'm grateful for this piece of advice.

Yeah I think he has joined some cult group.

Stefenijoan002:
Don't beat him give him long space .don't interfere in any of his Biz ,do like you dont even know if he exist in that house n watch how he'll fall back to come n apologize.you know the little change he's seeing has corrupt him.also I believe you people spoilt him when he was little making him disrespect people older than him without not correcting him.

He was raised by my aunty who has never disciplined him in any way. I'll give him a long space as you've said.

Thanks for your advice.

WILLuKPquiet:


You don't need to give your brother a faddin before he respects you. He is only being stupid.
That is the effect of following bad gangs. They loose their senses when they join bad gangs. Thinking they are enjoying and living life.

Many of these stupid guys are plenty here taking glory in doing evil.

Tell your parents or your guidians. They will talk to him. Tell them you won't mind beating the daylight out of him. If they talk to him and he refuses to listen, then disown the bastard and move on with life. Don't joke with him, talk to him or relate with him as a brother again until the devil that entered into his skull through Yahoo Yahoo leaves.

Don't mind the kids.
Don't warn them. If you do the humiliation continues.

Lastly don't try to beat your brother if you know he is heftier or stronger than you. If you try to beat him and he ends up beating you. The humiliation will be worse.

Talk to your parents

You perfectly understand what I'm going through. Thanks for the advice.

The last time I told my guardian regarding my brother's behavior, she treated the issue with kids glove and the boy kept on his disrespectfulness.

Yes he is taller than me that's why I do not want further embarrassment by engaging in a fight.

Aparche:
Op...I think you should start ghosting him. Start ignoring him and whatever he does, pretend as if he doesn't exist. Talk to him only when it's absolutely necessary, otherwise anytime you're alone with him in the house, carry novel and be reading. If he says something, expecting you to respond...ignore him. Start giving one word answers to his questions & comments, like yes, no, I don't know, Ok, fine.
Also if you used to beg him to help you do chores or borrow stuff from him. STOP!
When he realizes that you hardly talk to him & he trying to gist with you, and engage you has become an uphill task. His brain will reset and the insults and mockery will stop.

Thanks for the advice.

mountex:
Please dont let his actions affect you emotionally, he doesnt respect you because he has started keeping friends of your age whom he relate with concerning the Internet fraud stop cautioning him and let him make mistakes he will later run to u. U can also make ur self less available in the house that is some of the things weh dey cause see finish and insults.

Exactly! you've spoken well thanks for your input.

Dollar7gs:
it is not because he has not made money as some people re saying here, cos at this stage now both of them re growing and in school, someth factors i consider responsible for this is first, what is the family up bringing and training like? are both parents living? if yes, what do they say wen ur younger brother disrespect u? I say this cos in my family where i grow up, my parents inforce discipline, they sternly resist any of the younger ones disrespecting their seniors, infact u earn serious punishment if u do. Another thing i think lead to this is like the guy in question is too quiet, even in his submitions here, u can vividly notice that frm his writeup, and because of being too cold, the small younger brother, he seniors with oclose to 10yrs want to over shadow him. Who does that in my family? i have 4 junior brothers following me and we even give only 2 yrs gap and they re way taller and bigger than me, yet i command their respest till tommorow, 3 of them re even married and even their wifes follow suit in that respect, so i guess u sowed this seed u re reaping now....and most, importantly, its obvious that guy has joined bad gangs, u can see that even in ur neighborhood, with even the age difference, he commands much respect than u, thats why, he could influence younger guys there to insult u, cos those guys too dnt have respect for u, not just ur younger brother. To tackle this, one, using for or beating him like some people re saying will not help, it will worsen the already bad situation, u re going to use diplomacy here, by first working on ur own self confidence that is already shaltered, then u re going to give him some distance, pay less attention on what he does, focus more on u, talk less to him, by this i dont mean keep malice with him, no, but only talk wit him wen neccessary. then stamp ur authority as the senior, this u do intelligently, wen issues arises that demands u to show up as the senior, take responsibilities, stop being too cold, be the man. I hope this helps...

Thanks It was very helpful. I appreciate!

Godpikin4real:
What ur parents reaction 2 dat?

Most times, mothers tend 2 b in support cos of d little change she collects from him.

You're right she is highly in support of him.

EM123:
I think u should stay away from him , before small boy go beat old man , behave as if u don't know him , i think if u do this he won't respect or disrespect u . Your value will remain with u and when u resume school , don't go home when ever u have holiday , stay away from home for a long time let your brother and parents miss your presence.

I'll do so thanks.

Xano:


In some instances, parents are at fault, because when inform them, their response is not adequate.

My advice:
Treat him as if he does not exist. Do not respond or at look him. Walk pass him. Ignore him completely. Do this for several months.

If he deliberately walks into your lane, slap the hell out of him. Then walk away.

If he walks up to you when you are in conversation with your guys verbally humiliate him. He wouldn't come again.

The above advice might be extreme, but DON'T change for him to respect you. You are the elder brother, be one.

Exactly bro. When I informed our parents they treated the matter as nothing.

I'll do as you've said thanks alot.

blazebaba:
Them never born that pikin well....you fit repeat am again....

Mostly my younger ones are female only our last born....boy be feeling fly cos we don reach the same height,telling me straight to my face say if we fight nothing wey i go fit do am cos i no dey stay around them,i just laff it off and tell him mama say "our prick be of the same size no mean say the flesh no thick pass eachother ooo"....The day wey he do am reach,na joke him call am,boy later start begging calling for him mama...

Honestly bro I'm short of words, I was present in the hospital were he was delivered.

chris51:



9 years is a huge age gap.
Please report the matter to your parents. They should get involved

They're in support of him.

neonbash0:
Bid your time

Graduate
Get a job
Move out


And then cut him and anyone who makes you feel less than.
I know what you're going through.
My friend's mom literally went through all this and when she finally graduated, got a job and then moved out: it took them few years to realize that she ain't coming back to the family home to stay, only visit.

She got married and she and her husband left for the US.

At the moment: her immediate family is still trying to reconcile with her but she don't want them no more.


HEY THERE!

LISTEN.
THE BEST REVENGE IS SUCCESS.

DON'T FORGET THIS
❤️X�️

I'm inspired!
Thanks bro.

Tony142:




it is better for people to fear u than to respect u, I do not like respect I prefer being feared



when u are too farmilar with someone that person will start taking you for granted, the reason why your younger brother is disrespecting you is because u are too close to him, it is because u laugh with him too much, as from today stop laughing with him, ignored him, act like he does not exit, if u follow what I told u to do he will start respecting you, when he start respecting u he will want to come close to you, but pls do not allow him, I repeat do not allow him to come close to you again, the more he try to come close and form farmilarity the more u should distance yourself away from him


if u want to punish him and make him humble faster, tell him that u will report him to EFCC for doing yahoo, he go humble sharp sharp, Lol

Alright thanks.

talktrue1234:
He is an immature fool, he will learn with time, I pray he is able to forgive himself by then, but what are your parent, especially your mom saying about it?

Whenever I correct him, she tells me to mind my business and that statement gives him wings to disobey the more.

tron23:
Just ignore him and focus on your career development. This means no good morning, no presents or gifts even recharge cards. Focus on yourself - career and money. Listen to me, there is nothing you can do that will change his disposition towards you. Look at Barack Obama, 2 term US President still getting abused by people who are not on his level.

I know what I am talking about, ignore him and face your front. Peace.

Thanks bro!
