Got to work around 11am , generator refused to start Called generator man and he said the battery too is flat and the generator needs servicing!

Na Wah o! Battery wahala this morning both moto and generator don already scatter my head and all this is before 12 noon!

edwardd:
Hi Lawyer, I would like you to post us your e-mail cause I do have something important that I would like you to help me out with. You can also contact me on here at ademoyeidowu@yahoo.com. I hope you get back to me real quick. Thanks

Ok i have replied you through my email address!

Cheers!

This is an old post dated 2006 and we are in 2009. There is no way an office apartment in Ikoyi will be leased for N5,000 PER MONTH With all the so called Amenities included when it is not a face me i face you room somewhere in the remotest part of Mushin.

So you are advised to ignore this post and search for something more realistic within your budget!

You cannot get into the Nigerian Law School except you have some form of legal education in college, lets say you have a J.D in America. If you have just a bachelors degree, you would not be admitted as a foreign student eligible to enter the law school. It is a very strict requirement for you to complete compulsory law courses such as contract, torts, evidence etc and be acertained to have graduated from a University that taught you law.

I think its better for you to use your bachelors degree in the U.S to gain admission to obtain a J.D in a U.S college and then go to law school. So instead of 4 years, you would use 3 years!

lawyer
u dey find trouble oh!
who are u describing as pretending to work
do u know the amount of intellectual tasking activities we subject our brains too in the course of carrying out our duties? eh, lol, just kidding

hope uve won some cases this year??
best of luck in fighting ur omoniles!

@contactuzo

lol

Me sef don work for person before so i know the format. Wake up in the morning, wear heavy coat (no be suit o) deck one flashy tie, enter office with file wey contain nonsense. Sit down in your cubicle or table, arrange your stationeries, switch on your p.c and start playing with the damn computer switching from webpage to webpage. When oga comes around, pretend as if you have something imtant to photocopy or carry one file around frowning so as to make the oga believe your working. Attend meetings and scribble furiously on an empty sheet as if your taking minutes, continue watching the clock for break time so that you can enter your fav amala joint, come back looking all stressed out and pretend to study some files and scribble rubbish till it is closing time and you zap.

All in a days work!

End of month, be the first to line up to collect salary, so that the bank starts to deduct the car loan and flat screen t.v loan and leave the rest for friday night clubbing!, lol

Guy! I don de that world before no the tables have turned, lol (I miss that world sha!)

As for the cases; Rule number one, a case is being solved minimum after 7 years, so you dont just win cases that, rather you win motion arguments till the next appeal!

As for the omoniles, abeg forget those cows, i de house for them!

I like this thread. I think i will be a regular here. Alot of mature people here and thats a good thing!

As per my own office blues!

Let me not get into that now! Freaking hectic especially being a lawyer and you have this motion to file, complaints to listen to and draft for justice to be redressed, company filings at the Cac with those bureaucratic animals wasting your time, omoniles to fight with over land. In fact its not a easy job at all. I evny you guys working in a serene company atmosphere. You have no worries about bills, salaries, maintainance package and the rest. All you need is to start at 9am and close 5pm, browse nairaland and facebook all day, pretend as if your working, end of the month collect your salary.

Now that's the life!

I Thought i have answered your question in an earlier post in the company registration thread before and explained the difference and cost between a business name and a Limited company especially the advantages and disadvantages of two of them?

Anyway, i depends on the type of business you want to do and secondly if 2 of you Want to run a business together, i have to know what exactly you intend to do because it is vary rare to see 2 or more people registering a business name because it is meant for only one person in most situations. Limited company registration are made for 2 or more people!

Cheers!

A business name is never enough to do business in future. I think personally it is a scam concieved by the CAC to make people register their business names and not inform them that when the business intends to grow, the owners of the business name will still have to come back to upgrade it to a company and pay double.

Business names are for low scale jobs or businesses and big time investors or banks hardly deal with businesses with just business name registration because of the inherent constraints and limits posed by just a business name compared to a company.

Free Advice: REGISTER A COMPANY INSTEAD. IT WILL SAVE YOU TIME AND MONEY IN FUTURE!

In Jesus Name, Chelsea and Manutd will play0-0 or 1-1 or 2-2.

Every Arsenal Fan shout Amin!

We need them to drop points like liverpool so the second half of the season becomes more interesting!

Freedom of speech! I dont think this advert is something offensive and doesnt particularly affect anyone in person just like every other advert!

Now i am sure Salman Rushdie would be having a laugh after writing the Satanic Verses!

@tope777

Send me a mail and i'll tell you the price exactly but its more expensive than a regular company formation sha and the process of registering them are quite tedious and very demanding! NGOs are big business for the CAC! And it makes no difference whether its for widows,orphans or a social club or church! Same price for all of them! For starters, you have to be prepared to advertise the NGO in 2 dailies. (One local and the other national) also you must be more than one trustee that is, you alone cannot form the NGO. You are called trustees not directors and you must be ready to draft or have a constitution of the NGO and must have held meetings with the other trustees to ratify the name and objects of the NGO which must also be attached to the forms for registration.

Anyway mail me for more info!

Cheers!

I dont trust this advert one bit!

You advertise money back guarantee about a property and fail state the name and place of the estate in question and now still demand that people should pay N4,000 to your account without even seeing what is being advertised or inspecting it first!

You have 48hours to reveal all the important details of this property or consider the post deleted!

This is a very silly post. Of course everyone knows that if a president dies, the vice president takes over! What has political or geographical tones got to do with it? If Goodluck takes over, he appoints a northerner as his Vice. So whats the biggie?

debosky:
I disagree - we are not scoring enough - Stoke we couldn't score, Villa we couldn't score, City we couldn't score. We've lost games without even scoring this season - a virtual impossibility last season.

With Cesc, Walcott and Rozzi out, we need to score as much as possible to protect our shaky defence.

@debosky

I disagree with your submission. Take a look at the table below:

Scored Conceeded

1. Liverpool 35 13

2. Chelsea 40 9

3. Manutd 29 10

4. Aston Villa 33 22

5. Arsenal 33 23

7. Wigan 24 21

9. Fulham 18 14

Of the top 5 teams, we have conceeded the highest amount of goals more than any other top 5 which is extremely embarrassing. Even Aston Villa has a one goal advantage over us from a supposedly mid table team. In terms of scoring, we are just short of 7 goals to match liverpool despite losing 5 times and not scoring in 3 matches.

Its even more humilating compared to Wigan who has just conceeded 21 and Fulham only 14.

Arsenal has always been a team that scores but you can only do better when you plug the holes at the back and We are in dire need of plugging that hole. Without a strong Defensive midfielder and a Strong Center back, it changes nothing if we get the Messi's, C.Ronaldo's, Ashavins and co if all they can do is score 20 goals in a match and we conceed 21. To me thats top priority not getting a flashy winger and mercurial dazzling midfielder.

Anyways Happy birthday!

ARSHAVIN confirms interests in ARSENAL. . .

http://www.goal.com/en/news/1712/arsenal/2009/01/08/1049975/andrei-arshavin-wants-to-prove-himself-at-arsenal

so why is he not here yet?

8 days gone in the transfer window. . . Arsenal what's going on?

Dont ever believe a dime of what goal.com says. They are worse than tribalfootball in reporting transfer news that hasnt materialized. By now you should know Wenger. Its only when you read the official report on Arsenal.com before you know who is playing for us. The rest is all media speculations by football agents and lawyers trying to inflate the prices of their clients so as to line their pockets more!

@Mukkiee

I go try no stingy like wenger but until economic crunch end, na count ur naira na im i de o! lol

Its very important that they both play a draw so that Arsenal can steal 2 points from them. I am not in favour of anyone winning and i expect it to be a stale mate!

I am more concerned about AW buying a defensive midfielder and Strong Cb rather than all these flashy names live Ashavin popping here and there. Our problem hasnt been scoring but defending that lead and not conceeding.

Unlike other posters that are feeling sorry for the traders and hoodlums who have ben washed out of oshodi, i dont feel any kind of remorse, pity or sympathy for them, rather i give the Fashola government 2 thumbs up for clearing that place.

What is there to like about Oshodi? The most dreaded place in the whole of Lagos. A den for thieves, hoodlums and pickpockets. I have been robbed 4 times in Oshodi. Thrice at night when coming back from work and a daytime pickpocket of my wallet. The place was so filthy and filled with all sorts of people. How many times have you passed Oshodi without you harbouring some fear of thuggery or thieves occuring to you?

Under the Oshodi bridge and the railway was a nightmare. Inside that very dirty stench, a large market was in operation. People selling consumables close to gutters and repugnant objects that people would consume and fall sick. As if that wasnt enough, the had to occupy the whole space, making it almost impassable for passengers and commuters and God help you that your bag or hands mistakenly hits a basket of tomatoes or fish, then the rest is left for Nairaland to discuss.

The danfos and molues also caused the greatest nightmare of traffic there making people reach their houses very late and scared that they were passing the dreaded oshodi again.

All those complaining that they have no where to go are lying. These tomato sellers left their homes probably in Badagry to come all the way to Oshodi to contribute their own nuisance and dirt. How many of theses so called traders stay within Oshodi or its immediate environs? As long as the government didnt disturb them, they kept on multiplying and causing more mayhem. Now that they have been pursued, are you telling me that they will die? Will they not look for another hideout to turn into another oshodi?

Abeg let the commuters for once enjoy that road. For years it has been a place for horror stories!

My room mate in law school who was a chronic smoker and had lips as black as a volvo tyre. He wanted to convert his black lips to pink and ended up rubbing mentholethum everyday on his lips for 9 months. When he graduated, his lips were redder than a rose!

I am not advising that as a method but at least it worked for someone!

Do you have a 3 bedroom flat in Magodo GRA? whats the budget like?

Thanks!

Just got a brief from a new generation bank in lagos that they are looking for a property for purchase as a bank branch in these places:

1. Maryland

2. Apapa

3. Anthony

4. Bode Thomas

No specifics of the budget has been given to me or the type they need, so if you have any thing within that area, hala at me so i can hook you up with them.

The only major clause is that the property must have a good title preferably C/O because banks hardly purchase properties without a good title and they must do the search to confirm

If these lands at Isheri North are going for N4Million with a C/o, I think it is a very good and shrewd buy because most of the lands there are going for N5million upwards without a C/O and development there is quite amazing.

So i'll support people who intend to purchase these lands from you!

Anyway is it a global C/O or an individual C/0?

To all those people supporting this Imbecilic law:

No problem, there is no wahala. FRSC is very correct and they are doing the right thing with this helmet law:

But remember, when some sort of health epidermic outbreak starts because one Mallam that spat into his hands and carried that same Helmet That has a mouth visor and passed it to a vulcanizer that has a chronic case of Tuberculosis coughing seriously into that mouth visor and transfers it to a chick who is bleeding through her side lips that probably has the HIV virus and hands that same Helmet to an Eleran (Meat Seller) who is just coming from the abattoir with animal blood on his hands who transfers this same Helmet to a truant school boy who has just come from shitting in the bush nearby and has to climb this same okada to his house and this same Helmet is being transfered to you or a member of your family that is just rushing home from work around 7pm and can't see how dirty the helmet is or the hidden bacterias surrounding the Helmet.

Please when the outbreak starts, don't blame the FRSC O! don't blame the Ministry of Health for not containing the Viruses that will be spreading o! don't blame Federal Government o! When they tell you there is no money to cure these diseases o!


What a way to annihalate a society systematically by bringing the diseases close to their Homes without even injecting you!


Meanwhile you guys saying "I will buy my own" hmmm!

Ok make sure you buy like 2 Helmets o! Remember there is a possiblity of the Helmet being stolen or gets misplaced and all your shakara and fad will still lead you one day to wear this Epidermic Helmet someday o! Keep on supporting this thing!

don't complain to your Ogas to increase your health plan benefits o! Because since your more interested in Protecting your Head alone, you should forget about the other effects this Helmets can do to your body system!

And honestly, if you fall very sick , don't expect any sympathy from anyone, because when your well, you have to worry about the next brand of disease that will befall you. In case you have forgotten, let me give you a minor run down of the possible 5 Health catastrophes that might be waiting for you.

1. LapaLapa

2. Ring Worm

3. Ezcema

4. Hiv

5. Tuberculosis

Feel free to add anyone that has skipped my mind!

Airborne Diseases Respects no one especially if you willingly contributed to it!

I am suprised people are jumping at this stupid law without considering the health implications of this policy. Nigeria is a perculiar country and it cannot be even compared to india, bangladesh or thailand where you have a lot of motor cycles running around supported by rick shaws. Nigeria practically made Okada riding an Art. 85% of the Okada riders are peasants or people living below the poverty level with very very low of hygenie. Now Okada rider would have his own personal Helmet which isnt a problem because he wont share it with any one, but what about a daily routine that starts at 5am when the "ELERAN GUY" is going to deliver the first batch of meat with blood soaked hands and sweat and passes the same Helmet to the "Eleja", who passes it to the Mechanic and by 7am the fine marketer who works for probably Zenith bank with all her hair made up to wow her clients, share this same helmet.

Imagine how many people with dubious hygenic issues will wear this same helmet all day from conductor to those spitting Mallams for a whole week.

After one week, there would be a rising case of guniea worm, lice infection, ezcema, ring worm, lapa lapa and a host of horrible diseases that no one is ready to even dream about. Who cares if you are financially okay to solve the medical issue? Probably next week, you would be visiting your doctor again to treat you for another disease passed unto you by a vulcanizer in Ajegunle.

This is a government complaining that it doesnt have the funds to fund the health sector properly. Now it has decided to trigger of a time bomb of health issues. Listening to the arguments of the FRSC, is so lame and strawman in it approach. They argue that it is to protect the safety of the passenger against head injuries and accidents, but on a cursory look, we realise that most Okada injuries arent caused only through head injuries but through broken legs, injured elbows, scratches and wounds through your back or belly or exhaust pipe wounds close to your feet.

Nobody is hearing anything about buying shin guards to protect the knees or elbow. What about families that rely on Okada to take their kids around? I have seen a family of 5 on an okada before. Father, mother, 2 children and a baby child. Is the baby not also entitled to wear a helmet too? Are the 2 little children not entitled to wear Helmets too?

What about school children? Both dirty and clean ones. The dirty boys play footbal all day in school with dusty feets and sweaty clothes and still use these same okada and helmet that an oil worker in chevron would still use to get home!

What manner of intelligence is this? Can the Nigerian Nation survive an impending Health epidermic when we are even struggling to keep in check the health problems that confront us?

Also this nonsense of talk of buying your own personal helmet and carrying it around as a fashion fad is ludicrious to say the least? When women have weddings, they should carry their helmets and the present together and wear the Helmet ontop of the gele? Bankers should carry helmet around when marketing to the offices of clients as if they are pizza delievery boys? Students Should carry their bags and helmet to school together because it is an extra curricular activity?

What if you go to work with your own helmet and it gets stolen? who will share Helmet with you? You are stuck with the Lapa Lapa infested Helmet that you will involuntarily pass to your family members and your family members can be so kind to share with you the lastest bout of ring worm that they recieved from shukura the garbage man?

I am scared of Nigeria now!
