Brainbox0806: Good day to you all, I'm on the verge of buying a house for a close family, I bare the responsibility of making payment and verifying that the property is genuine because I'm the one that introduced him to the agent.
I'm trying to be careful because of some clauses that involves the originality of the seller. Mr. A built the house from the ground, lived in it for like seven months then relocated abroad, he appointed a representative ( I think his brother) to sell the property, Mr. B ( also from abroad ) contacted a company to buy the property on his behalf, the property was inspected buy consultant C ( A company ), payment was made and the house was taken over by consultant C but Mr B never occupied the said house since Inception of the purchase, after 15 months of procurement Mr B decided to sell the property through same consultant C.
The neighbour can't ascertain the relationship between Mr A and consultant C , but Mr A has been informed by a neighbour about the presence of consultant C in the house and he confirmed that the house has been sold off . Consultant C do visit the house periodically but the house remains under lock.
The problem now is that consultant C want me to pay directly to him, refusing to give me Mr B. phone number for verification, sighting that the consent letter given to him by Mr B is enough proof. I suspect he's hiding the real price from the owner but I don't want to go ahead without verifying the identity of Mr B ( the current seller). The intending buyer is so in love with the house and cant wait to make payment but I'm hellbent of hearing from Mr B
Kindly advise.
In this Tboy economy, you're playing Ludo with hooge money. better get yourself a Lawyer and go to the state govt office to verify the property owner and documents. My two cents!
If u say he just got there not even up.to a month, what is all the hullabaloo that Tinubu is already Nigeria's best president?
Is he the author of the bills he has been signing?
How does your support make those in government to succeed and how does the lack of support prevent them from doing their jobs?
Do you pray to God to guide your tailor to sew your clothes in the right direction?
You're confusing yourself tbh. Who drafted the bill and who implemented it? Why didn't Buhari sign such bill to laws when in government ?
What he has done in the space of few weeks of his resumption is why people are seeing him as a strategic planner.
To your last question about prayers -yes, he needs prayers for God's protection, wisdom and guidance as Nigerian president to lead the nation to the promise land. Why do you think people pray for the nation and the president? You can ask the clerics that you know for further answer as to why all nations pray for their leaders.

What is really the bone of contention here? Are you upset that people are saying/claiming he's the best president or the bill he's signing cos this sounds like you beefing him personally.
I'm not his fan since the presidential race started. I supported PO cos i believe he would deliver but as it stands we have someone on the sit noe (BAT), we just gotta support him and pray that God guide him to lead the nation right.
uzomakanaki: Fellow nairalanders, please I need advice from matured minds in this group.
I'm in a two year relationship with my woman, we're both working. I'm 34 while she's 27. My montly salary and commision is over 200k with other side hustle i do that bring in funds for me, i also just got a car i want to register with bolt/uber to still bring in funds in my free time.
My fiancee on the other hand is earning 75k monthly. I take good care of her needs and makes sure she doesn't lack anything I can afford.
We both plan to settle down by December.
Sometimes last month she missed her period, after the test we discovered she's 5 weeks pregnant.
I'm against abortion because of the dangers involved in the aftermath, i suggested she keep the baby while I come and see her family and do some necessary things before the main wedding. But she insisted in aborting the baby, reason being that she can't be pregnant and be working. Unless I place her on a monthly salary.
She has aborted the baby and had complications because of the quack nurse that performed the abortion. I spent a lot to make her back on her feet
I'm gradually losing interest in the relationship cos that single act of her. I've kept this to myself.
I just need advice on how to handle this. Cos I'm already fed up with her with her recent disrespect and the way she talks to me anyhow even in public.
Hey man, you don't need no advise from no one anymore. You've got your answer from her already. Even Steve Wonder as blind as he is could see the disaster that is to come if you end up marrying her . Japaaa I'm 8years strong in Holy matrimony & can tell you plainly that what she did ain't attribute of a wife material.
family6644: It started when I lost someone dear to me, I almost ran mad, they had to call a local nurse who administered an injection to me, the thing off me, when I woke up it started again, I was given another dose, it got me so high that I don't know anything again until I slept off again.
This is how I started requesting for it, I started taking it to get over the trauma, the lady noticed I was getting addicted she refused giving me saying it's dangerous, I had to call my pharmacist friend to get regular supplies, though he didn't stop warning me but I'm already addicted taking it every 4hours, trying to stop when I started seeing the damages but I couldn't.
The fatigue that will follow is unbearable, I will end up taking it to feel okay again. I attached a picture of my hands with the damage.
I need help, I want out so that I can live my normal life but I don't know how, has anyone been there before? How did you get over it? I don't want to die from this. Please help me
it's so sad you doing this to yourself. Your arm would be most likely amputated if care is not taken. Seek help immediately before it's too late.
thedio: A man widely seen as the godfather of artificial intelligence (AI) has quit his job, warning about the growing dangers from developments in the field.
Geoffrey Hinton, 75, announced his resignation from Google in a statement to the New York Times, saying he now regretted his work.
He told the BBC some of the dangers of AI chatbots were "quite scary".
"Right now, they're not more intelligent than us, as far as I can tell. But I think they soon may be."
Dr Hinton also accepted that his age had played into his decision to leave the tech giant, telling the BBC: "I'm 75, so it's time to retire."
Dr Hinton's pioneering research on neural networks and deep learning has paved the way for current AI systems like ChatGPT.
In artificial intelligence, neural networks are systems that are similar to the human brain in the way they learn and process information. They enable AIs to learn from experience, as a person would. This is called deep learning.
The British-Canadian cognitive psychologist and computer scientist told the BBC the chatbot could soon overtake the level of information that a human brain holds.
"Right now, what we're seeing is things like GPT-4 eclipses a person in the amount of general knowledge it has and it eclipses them by a long way. In terms of reasoning, it's not as good, but it does already do simple reasoning," he said.
"And given the rate of progress, we expect things to get better quite fast. So we need to worry about that."
In the New York Times article, Dr Hinton referred to "bad actors" who would try to use AI for "bad things".
When asked by the BBC to elaborate on this, he replied: "This is just a kind of worst-case scenario, kind of a nightmare scenario.
"You can imagine, for example, some bad actor like [Russian President Vladimir] Putin decided to give robots the ability to create their own sub-goals."
The scientist warned that this eventually might "create sub-goals like 'I need to get more power'".
He added: "I've come to the conclusion that the kind of intelligence we're developing is very different from the intelligence we have.
"We're biological systems and these are digital systems. And the big difference is that with digital systems, you have many copies of the same set of weights, the same model of the world.
"And all these copies can learn separately but share their knowledge instantly. So it's as if you had 10,000 people and whenever one person learnt something, everybody automatically knew it. And that's how these chatbots can know so much more than any one person."
Matt Clifford, the chairman of the UK's Advanced Research and Invention Agency, speaking in a personal capacity, told the BBC that Dr Hinton's announcement "underlines the rate at which AI capabilities are accelerating".
"There's an enormous upside from this technology, but it's essential that the world invests heavily and urgently in AI safety and control," he said.
'Responsible approach' Dr Hinton stressed that he did not want to criticise Google and that the tech giant had been "very responsible".
"I actually want to say some good things about Google. And they're more credible if I don't work for Google."
In a statement, Google's chief scientist Jeff Dean said: "We remain committed to a responsible approach to AI. We're continually learning to understand emerging risks while also innovating boldly."
This is very scary! He knew the damages that is to come from what they've developed.
AI already causing some issues in the music industry where some music label giants are fighting the AI generated music's (AI sings in voices of popular artists) posted on streaming platforms and making money off the original singer/artists.
Lot of people would end up in jail and in some bad situations they know nothing about cos AI can generate peoples voices and it's going to sound just like them

I really pity the Gbagyi people of Abuja and other middle belt Indegeneous tribe of Abuja
Already Labour Party took their Only Senatorial district Ticket for a non Indegene Southerner
Imagine as an indegene you have land dispute or other dispute regarding Government representation, if they go to report at the LGA.. they meet Hausa, if they go to meet FCT Minister they meet Fulani, if they go to meet their Senator its a Yoruba woman they meet, if they go to meet the Market leaders they meet Igbos
Using principle of Federal Character system and Qouta system, every Gbagyi indegene would get shortchanged during Federal Government recruitment when they can't even have an indegene to approve their employment slot at the LGA
.
You've said it all. The Hausas' came into Abuja and dominated the whole of it. Gbagi people owns Abuja, sadly it's more like Hausas' people now.
They are like parasites, they let them settle somewhere and they'd be trying to take it over. Examples are Kogi, Ilorin and others. They taken some chunks out of those states too and dominated it.
In a podcast video that has gone viral, a young lady commented that she broke a 4yr relationship with a "faultless" man for no reason. The story flips as she concludes that she's better than the woman her ex later married.
Femi8586: True. But nevertheless, it is his platform and he can do whatever he wants with it. They can't sue him.
They either pay or take a walk. Elon took loans(incurred debts) when he was forced to buy Twitter. People mocked him.
Now he's trying to get his money back by monetizing his investment, they are ganging up against him.
Musk used his mouth to wrote a check his butt couldn’t cash. No one forced out of no where to come buy it. He used his own mouth to clout chased and Jack used the opportunity to looped him in hence the necessity to buy it at all cost.
At first, Musk was just clout chasing but Jack took it serious and threatened to sue for billions $$$. Musk as a wise business man proceeded with the purchase rather than paying-out billions of $$$ in court settlement hence his harsh method of generating back the buying cost and/or make money off the app.
His action would make all other apps follow suits as they've never thought of generating money via this channel before now.
Musk is an aggressive investor that just wanna double up without sending anybody papa.
Dada4me: I was about sleeping at about 10.30pm when I heard my layers struggling. I went to check with stick in my hand only to see this Snake rush down from the cage. I was afraid initially seeing the size but I went closer when I saw that it was not as fast as I thought, I hit it thrice within a second and the thing started struggling.
Some say it's called Sebe in Yoruba language. What's this called in English please?
It's in my pot already and some doing my body good.
Lamanii22: I think I’m the only one who doesn’t want to leave Nigeria lol, if everyone is talking about japa in my mind I would be like what are these ones saying 😏… I don’t even include it in my prayer points.
Other countries are fascinating as such but I don’t see myself residing there… I love Nigeria too much.
