Approach and have an amicable discussion first, see if they can move their cooking area or upgrade to the charcoal or gas. If that doesn't work, take pictures and videos of the smoke while they're cooking and if possible showing how it's getting in your room. Look up the LASEPA website and start reporting. You'll have to follow up and call a lot, they'll eventually take action by issuing warnings and if it continues, the possibility of shutting them down exists.
kcstyle40: Good day beautiful people, I am in a bit of a fix and need advice on how best to confront this situation .
There is this mama put restaurant besides my house in lagos but separated by a fence. However the said restaurant is built attached to the fence in the next compound and that makes it awfully close to my windows and they cook with firewood not even charcoal but all manner of firewood.
The owner of the mama-put a yoruba woman ( very hard working ) starts cooking by 6 a.m up till 11 p.m with smokes going up and into the windows of my bedroom ( upstairs) and other rooms in my house making my room very stuffy and causing me to keep shutting all my windows .
Personally I can't stand any form of smoke be it cigarettes or smokes from burning stuffs
With the high cost of fuel I can't keep running Gen to keep my rooms ventilated and power supply is poor in my area .
I have thought of approaching her concerning this matter but from my observation the woman is very harsh n raze and I fear she might not reason with me .
I understand it's her means of livelihood but I am suffering cus of it and all my cloths in my wardrobes are all smelling smoke ... My room has smoke smell as a result of this , it only reduces if I keep my windows shut for weeks . I hate problems and I avoid conflicts in every way ... But I have been suffering this for long now
Is there any authority I can report to ?
Or is there a better way to make her understand my plight and switch to cooking with gas without appearing like her enemy of progress ?
Are you f00lish? Who da f**k on earth mistakes 2bn for 2m? Shey you well
pricklewane: All this Igbo miscreant parading as nonentity on Nairaland Sha. Did you even read the news ?
Here is a governor admitting to his mistake, let even assume he lied next election cycle he won't have the audacity to appropriate ₦2b for whatever nonsense that is, aside the fact he acknowledged it was a typo n ₦2b was never budgeted but ₦2m n here you are wailing like a foolish miserable soul.
Just yesterday Alex Otti came out with audacity to defend ₦2 billion eating jamboree upon charging another ₦2.8 billion as security vote. I went through your post and I am yet to see a single comment condemning that not even wailing about that at all.
Can you see why many say hypocrisy hate n bigotry will ruin the average Igbo ?
How you seen the quality of your roads? How about the lack of highway lights? Security issues? These things are cause and effect, you can't skip the basics.
Cooolme: Greetings everyone, I've been driving for over a year now and I've noticed we don't know how to use headlights in this country even my friend that visited from the US complained same thing. I don't know if it's selfishness or what but how will someone be on very high beam even when opposite an incoming vehicle, I almost entered a ditch because an SUV beamed on my small Corolla to the point I couldn't even see properly, are there rules set for all these in this country? God's willing if I don't leave this country within the next 2 years I'm getting a bigger vehicle and I will purposely install massive led lights I will be counter beaming people till they notice their mistake.
No. The visa allows you get from your port of exit and to the port of entry. However, at that point it is still up to the immigration officials there to grant you entry, which they can grant or deny based on any number of factors.
Love800: I thought if one is issued visa, his entry is sure. Am confused abt dis.
HelpfulBro: I'm a young man and still living with my parents and sisters. I earn some good amount of money and I'm doing okay for myself, I try as much as I can to help my family out with food stuff for example I've helped with 100k for food stuff from now till December and did a little things too like support my mom and help my dad but I'm very unhappy with my sisters and mom.
My sisters always verbally abuse me by insulting me when I don't do something for them and try to make feel guilty for not giving them what they ask for, when I try to set boundaries like what I don't like they tell me to shut up that I'm the junior that I'm talking rubbish
Just this Morning while I was still getting up with sleep in my eyes and praying they started banging my door that light meter has finished and I should come and pay but I was confused so I just didn't respond till I finished praying and came out. Before I did she was already shouting that they should leave me since I don't want to answer and she'll put #200 naira own if that what I want.
She injured her leg from the door while she was going out side to do it and now she's blaming me that I'm the reason why it happened to her, saying I'm still her junior and I don't have sense that why would I not answer her. I'm shocked and I told her how I'm I the problem and I just literally woke up, I just told them that I hate them and now she's insulting me more
I don't respond but I'm getting very angry at this and I'm looking for a way to leave the house and relocate, they are my older sisters and they don't even work or do anything but I don't say it to their faces but I don't see why they don't give me mutual respect at all
lol. Inside this same house with dis ceiling wey I dey look so?
Lmao.
Rebuker: "You must have up to 5 million Naira and above in your account before you can date me," the fine lady says.
In the short video, the beautiful lady says, "For those of you who want to date me, please drop your CV, let me see what you can do. How can you be poor and say you want to date a fine girl? See, I am a fine girl; I don't use filters. How could you be broke and want to date me? You must have at least 4-5 million Naira in your account balance." She goes on to ask, "Girls that date poor guys, how do you people do it?"
Buying and holding dollars is not an "investment" sir.
Athena6: Last week I created a thread talking about how my japa plans have been crushed due to the increase in dollar.
Many adviced me to invest in dollar, this was the advice they gave me months ago but I did follow through because I wasn't sure. My last thread hit front page and 90% of the comments were advising me to invest in dollars, one even quoted that in the past 10 years, the dollar haven't fallen but it increases every year.
One even called me a weak minded person and I am scared to take risks. After everything I thought to myself, since so many people felt this dollar will keep on rising, maybe I should invest afterall life is all about risks.
Well guess what, dollar have decreased, I invested 3M in buying dollars and now in today exchange rate. I have 2.6M now and I either cash out now or hope it will increase.
Right now, I am very angry. Those giving me advice should come and contribute the 400k for me o
Another thing, do you think the dollar will increase or should I just cut my loses. I am so tired 😫
You are in an entirely new country, with a handicap of a limited visa and funds from a similarly handicapped country. You have been there for one month, not really sure what you're expecting. Similarly to just starting out in your home country, you have to get the lay of the land, you have to pay your dues, Give it time bruv.
fullclub: my dream was that immediately I came over, i and my dependant will search for jobs.. work and pay bill. but that is not feasible as I am seeing it.
i started this process with 15 million naira then when naira nose dive i had to borrowed extra 15 million to top it with interest of almost 2 million naira. landed in uk, started seeing the reality on ground
i have been in UK since 1 month plus. but getting a job as a migrant or new commer without UK experience is not easy. in fact i have sent over 200 job application for cleaner, care assistant etc but all came with a sorry we have moved on to the next stage or you don't have uk experience.
school fees has to be paid. everyone here in tight corner... school has sent mail threatening to report to the immigration if school fees is not paid in the next few weeks to most Nigerians here.
no job, house rent is expensive.. going for 450 to 600 pounds per month.
travelling through student route is not really easy because you have to balance between work and school.. 'even at that where is the job as a new migrant.
Please if you are considering coming to UK for now.. please put on hold. the crowd from Indians, Pakistani, Malaysia, china etc is overwhelming.
it's not worth selling your home to be here.
i sleep in indeed and all this job site.. still yet nothing, bills mounting up.
all my colleague i came with are still with no jobs in other cities
after spending 13 million coming here with extra 3k dollars now almost exhausted chai
if u know you don't have full school fees, house rent for 12 months, upkeep.... running to 35m to 40m please stay back... stay back or apply through skill route.
Abisolababe: Good morning nairalanders I think this world is turning to something else
I work with a private organisation where I earn 20k as my monthly stipend For the past one four month now we have not been paid salary and we dare not ask my boss because she is a disciplined woman who doesn't tolerate nonsense..
Things are really getting hard and I couldn't even afford transport fee to work this morning as I have to trek down to work this morning, and on getting to work I decided to summon courage to ask this woman about my salary, She told me to go back to my duty . but to my greatest surprise it was sack letter that follows. I tried talking to her and telling her the situation of things but she wouldn't listen and all what she said is that I have been fired.
I was told to come back ending of November to get my salary..
I don't really know what to do right now, it looks like cheating to me . This is my sweat, something I have work for ...
Your country doesn't have a steady supply of Fx from anywhere. It can never appreciate.
netpro: If those are speculating and stockpile dollars in naira don't sell quick and release dollars back to the system in time, when Naira appreciates, they too will be counting losses.
You started 7 months ago and they're your fiancee? Na you no like yourself na.
paulosan: Hi Nairalanders, I had to use this new moniker for the purpose of this post.
I have been going out with my lady for 7 months now, and the relationship has been beautiful with everything falling in the right places, she has most of the qualities i have always desired in a woman.
I traveled out of town for two weeks, i got back yesterday, she opted to make me something before i got back so she went to my house earlier yesterday to prepare food.
I noticed that since I got back she has been texting on her smaller phone and has been carrying the phone everywhere while leaving the big one on the bed or anywhere. She work up this morning and continued texting on that phone, i have been acting like i am not seeing all the moves so that i can actually find out what it is.
I am trying so hard to be calm in other not to make her realize and wipe anything that might be as a pointer to evidence.
I have been having different thoughts as to have to handle it: 1. I was thinking of checking the phone, depending on what i see, i will ask her who she has been texting, i will after a few days like i did not see anything. 2. The second thought was i ask her who she has been texting and request that she opens the text and we see together.
I don't want to jump into conclusion until i see what it is. I really don't know what to do, i am confused and i don't want to make mistakes with my marital life as i plan settling down.
Please advice me, criticism is welcomed as i know some people will come at me.
It's simple. History is on the side of the refinery never working or if it does, certainly never meeting the demand. The country's fundamentals have not changed. The naira is not going to magically start gaining.
Yourprick: Yeah dollar at 1200 but why do they keep buying it, aren't you scared Naira might start gaining,our highest imported item is petroleum products and the fg promised a refinery in December, what happens when we stop importing fuel and start refining won't the Naira start gaining? What's the essence of saving in dollars?or you think dollars would keep gaining for the next 4 years lol
How do you enlarge legs by massaging please? Elaborate.
misreal: Enlarging the penisnis like enlarging the legs or any other part of the body..It’s a muscles,it can be enlarged maybe through massaging.But there is a limit to it.
We used landlines with rotary phones that we could padlock and we were okay. We also used Nokia 3310s with basic LCDs and mono ringtones we copied notes from the cafe for. Why don't we use those phones anymore?
Let's not talk much but ask yourseff - do you really need those touted speed ?
I use computers above basic level. My PCs stays powered ON for months. Even if I choose to power on a PC, those few seconds are barely noticeable. on servers, I definitely use SSDs, but anything and everything else, omo na HDD and Tape drives. shebi we were OKAY with them before SSDs were born.
I consider more variables, than just those touted SSDs selling point.
if I really need such perceived speed, I would weigh some variables against a list of others and often times, I end up with HDD.
Have seen some even use SSD on slow system.
And during failures, With HDD, even worst case scenerios, you still get hope. BUT you see SSD, e be like Glo network - e either dey or e no dey.
a socket outlet is meant to be rated for 13A, but a large number of socket outlets sold around and installed by electricians can only carry 5A or less. The usual imitation problem. this is why in most homes sockets in kitchens or where kettle are connected to keep having issues.
you want to buy an original confirmed socket outlet - MEM, ABB, MK, Legrand or Schneider
sometime last year i bought some original socket outlets and the IRONY is that they cost less than the nonsense sold by electrical shops
for electrical it is best to directly source from known manufacturers. there is a lot of corner cutting in electrical materials .
Donkogbe: Something happened in my church yesterday and its so strange to me.
Yesterday was the youth anniversary so the youth president has been soliciting for funds and yes people complied and myself also. it was time for thanksgiving and all youth danced to the altar then the pastor openly reject the money contributed by the youth to the amount of 50k in the sense that its too small and also making reference to 2years ago when the youth as at that time bought the church drum set to the amount of 250k. he rejected the money and prayed for us.
This is has been disturbing my mind since yesterday and i am just wondering how a pastor will openly reject amount contributed by people.
note this is not mandatory donations and a man of God reject 50k in this economy of Tinubu? i am just having a mix feelings and its disturbing. what your view on this
- Riding against traffic, because of either the state of the road or the fact that there are no consequences to those actions - The state of the road, because the government is incapable of completing the construction of an expressway for over a decade
For you and everyone saying this is professional, I'm here to inform you that this is peak unprofessionalism. First, you are not supposed to prescribe an medicine to a patient without discussion the effects, possible side-effects and dosage with them. So how the f**k are you writing sh*t they can't see in prescriptions? Try that nonsense in any 1st world country and see the outcome.
wittywriter: IGNORANCE @ it's Peak! OP got me lol calling it difficult handwriting.
That's part of the professionalism in the medical sector.
Godoverevery: Am currently in a relationship with a 31yr old lady for about 2 month now. She want to buy iPhone 12pro max and she doesn't have the total money. She has being complaining about how her phone (techno phantom) isn't good enough for pictures and videos bla bla bla from the time we met.
In my last relationship I actually helped my ex get iPhone Xsmas, she didn't have the total money aswell and I added about 55k to get it for her which I later regret with every blood in me and now the same scenario is happening again.
I actually advise her to get a lesser iPhone which her money can buy but she is adamant she want iPhone 12promax just to show off to other ladies in her office.
She expecting me to help her get the phone and add the remaining balance. From my calculations she is about 70k-80k short of the money to get the phone and honestly I don't have a dime to give cos only a foolish idiot will make the same mistake thrice.
She emotionally blackmailing me and I can't take it anymore.......at 31yrs I expect more understanding and more important priorities.
