Good evening everyone.

Most nigerian movies can be so meaningless. You can even fathom the message they are trying to pass. Always acting meaningless scripts with funny titles.

We also have a TV in our bedroom, so my wife was watching a Nigerian movie while I was working on my office files.

I can't even puzzle out the excitement in that movie. All I was hearing is some lousy actors making noise and the poor suspense sound track. You need to see my wife looking so tensed & serious, flapping her both hands like a bird that is about to fly while screaming “enter the car drive! drive! drive!

I said Aunty easy o, Then I asked her the title of the movie, she said "The pregnant ghost". I said pls came again, you say? She didn't answer then I picked up the remote to check the title then booom!! The pregnant ghost

I was just laughing seriously, I've to capture it. then I asked her whether she have seen a ghost before not to talk of a pregnant one? And she said what! If I want to know if ghost dey carry belle that I should join her and watch the movie too.

I jejely carried my office files and my laptop, walk straight to the sitting and continue my job. Because if I talk otherwise about that movie na problem for me and I don't want her wahala this night.

Then she asked where am I going? I said this movie is so interesting and it's making me loose focus on the work I'm doing, so I'm going to the sitting room were I can concentrate.

Abeg, those of you that watch this kind of movie, please what are the moral lessons?

Just because you’re married doesn’t mean she has to like everything you like. A “movie” is art, an expression and even though the quality may be mediocre, there is a message and clearly your wife understands and enjoys it and you don’t, but It’s really ok as long as she respects you and vice versa.

Don’t mind the people commenting, sowing seeds of hatred, this is insignificant. If it’s really a deal breaker though, speak to her about it but I feel you should try to accept your differences, as I’m sure you do things that she doesn’t fully understand but tolerates it in silence too. Peace

This might sound weird but I'm turned on when I see dead women. I find them attractive. I've masturbated to many dead women in movies and graphic pictures on the internet of random dead women, even here on Nairaland. I need some help. Sex with living women is boring and I lose erection. To sustain erection I have to think of them dead.

I need some advice.

You need professional therapy, necrophilia is very abnormal behaviour and is possibly rooted to something in your past.

Seek help from qualified professionals….as you’ve seen here, Nairaland will only insult or misunderstand you.

Stay blessed

What's the cost of NEBOSH Construction Safety?
I've done NEBOSH IGC. I'm looking for a fairly grounded safety course I can do for construction as I am looking at going back to construction. I currently work with NBC which is more geared towards process safety.
I want to beef up my knowledge of construction safety.
I also heard IOSH has something related to that.

That's a good development, the cost depends on a number of factors though. There are approved learning partners that offer the course also depending on your location.
I use SHeilds and based in the UK, my role is primarily risk management on a construction project here.

https://www.nebosh.org.uk/qualifications/health-and-safety-management-for-construction-uk/
Here's the official link for more info though.

HSE awareness is becoming increasingly relevant in most industries, so its definitely worth upskilling anyway you can.

I started by doing HSE 1-3 as well, although I was sponsored by my previous firm at the time in 2019, so I'm surprised its at that cost now.

If you are considering practising HSE abroad though, I would consider doing the IOSH Managing Safely Course and/or NEBOSH courses.

These ones are more respected internationally, currently doing the NEBOSH Construction Certification as construction is my industry and is even more specialised with great prospects once you've finished.

All the best on your learning journey!

Barbiturate:
Within a year, I've applied for 188 jobs on LinkedIn. Some I was called for test and interviews, some I was never called. None of them gave me a job. There are some I applied via mail, not LinkedIn "easy apply"......so it should be over 200.

The last one was with a Yoruba company in Lagos. I applied via LinkedIn. I passed through 3 interview processes. The 4th was with the MD/CEO( Yoruba aged and titled man). He practically told me I am omo ibo(ibo man) and that I don't have the passport.

I'm officially done searching for jobs!!!
I'm throwing in the towel!

Instead of simply making direct applications, get close to an employee in your desired firm and ask for a recommendation. Very powerful, trust me

Cryptocurrency trading can be highly profitable as an investment but you really shouldn't be using your daily bread to trade with it, only heart break awaits you OP.

Use money you can stand to lose, and consider long term trading in months/years, holding and increasing your coins in time until the market is fully ripe, that way these short volatile movements wouldn't phase you.

This should be one of your side hustles, and when you make money from your real job, you can "buy the dip" in times like this rather comfortably and sell later in the future when you actually need it for a serious project.

Goodluck man, and be patient.

OP what you're doing is a weak move, you shouldn't be so insecure to the extent of doing all this.

If you no longer trust your girlfriend, and you have called her out on her distant behavior severally with no resolution then break up.

But this catfishing behaviour will just hurt you more, it's not healthy.

The fact is, as long as she's not married to you, she really doesn't owe you anything, she's allowed to listen to potential suitors till she's sure of the right one.

In your chats, she mentioned she had a boyfriend early on and you're still pushing, these games are silly and you're just making a bad name for men in general.

Please stop and move on, you also deserve a girl that gives you attention I understand, so focus that energy on developing yourself and waiting for the right girl.

Apologies for sounding harsh, just seemed unfair that you'd be doing something like this.

All the Best.

I believe so, the UK court system is effective.
We now need to follow the due process, strategize and work with credible law firms to sue for damages instead of vandalising and fighting between ourselves.

Atleast there is better hope for justice there, we deserve it.

The UK Supreme Court has ruled that oil-polluted Nigerian communities can sue Shell in English courts.

The decision is a victory for the communities after a five-year battle, and overturns a Court of Appeal ruling.

The Niger Delta communities of more than 40,000 people say decades of pollution have severely affected their lives, health and local environment.

https://www.bbc.com/news/av-embeds/world-africa-56041189/pid/p07sqj3n

The oil giant had argued it was only a holding company for a firm that should be judged under Nigerian law.

Shell described the legal ruling as disappointing.

The Supreme Court, the UK's final appeal court for civil cases, ruled that the cases brought by the Bille community and the Ogale people of Ogoniland against Royal Dutch Shell were arguable and could proceed in the English courts.

Royal Dutch Shell did not dispute that pollution had been caused, but argued it could not be held legally responsible for its Nigerian subsidiary. Shell is responsible for about 50% of the delta's oil production.

Last year the Court of Appeal agreed with the company, but the Supreme Court said on Friday that that decision was flawed.

The communities, represented by law firm Leigh Day, argued Shell owed a common law duty of care to individuals who had suffered serious harm as a result of the systemic health, safety and environmental failings of one of its overseas subsidiaries.

The Niger Delta pollution has continued despite years of promises by successive governments in Nigeria to clean it up. In 2016 President Muhammadu Buhari launched an ambitious clean-up operation in Ogoniland. The work is ongoing but residents say little progress has been made.

Continued oil spills from the activities of multinationals have also cast doubt on the impact of the clean-up exercise. "Things are getting worse by the day," Celestine Akpobari, an environmental activist from Ogoni, told the BBC.

The region provides most of Nigeria's government revenues but the communities say successive governments have neglected them. Mr Akpobari says people can no longer fish or farm because of the devastation. "People are dying, there are strange diseases and women are having miscarriages" from the pollution, he says. But the communities and campaigners say the recent court victory gives them hope they will see justice.

How bad is the pollution?
In 2011 the UN concluded it would take 30 years to clear up the vast amounts of pollution in the Niger Delta.

The Ogale community of about 40,000 people are mostly fishermen or farmers who rely on Ogoniland's waterways. But pollution has all but destroyed fishing, turning their lush home into a toxic wasteland.

There have been at least 40 oil spills from Shell's pipelines since 1989, lawyers say Shell's records reveal.

UN scientists have found an 8cm (3 inch) layer of refined oil floating on top of water that supplies the community's drinking wells - vastly higher than is legally permitted.

The water is now too dirty for people to drink. Despite promises to provide clean water, people must often either shell out for bottled water or drink from contaminated sources.

Thick crusts of ash and tar cover the land where oil spills have caused fires. Planting new vegetation to replace burnt crops or plants is almost impossible.

Farmer Damiete Sanipe describes a wasteland where the trees and the mangrove have been destroyed.

"The habitat is gone, the river we used to swim in is gone. For a coastal community whose life revolved around the water, it's all gone.

"I don't think money can bring back what we have lost. Even if they want to revive the mangrove, it will take more than 30 years which is a long time."

On Friday Leigh Day lawyer Daniel Leader said the ruling was a "watershed" for "impoverished communities seeking to hold powerful corporate actors to account". The firm said the amount of compensation sought had yet to be determined.

What does Shell say?
In a statement Shell said: "The spills at issue happened in communities that are heavily impacted by oil theft, illegal oil refining, and the sabotage of pipelines."

It said that, despite the causes of the pollution, its subsidiary had worked hard to both clean up and prevent spills.

It's the latest in a run of international and domestic law suits over Shell's oil extraction in Nigeria.

In 2015 it accepted responsibility for two spills and agreed to pay £55m ($76M) to the Bodo community and assist in the clean-up.

In 2006 a Nigerian court ordered the company and partners to pay $1.5bn to the Ijaw people of Bayelsa state for environmental degradation in the area.

In an ongoing civil case, the widows of four environmental activists executed by Nigeria's military regime in 1995 are suing Shell for allegedly providing support to the military. Shell denies the claims.

The decision on Friday is the latest case to test whether multinational companies can be held accountable for the acts of overseas subsidiaries.

Amnesty International welcomed the ruling. Mark Dummett, director of Amnesty International's Global Issues Programme, said the fight had not yet been won, but added: "This landmark ruling could spell the end of a long chapter of impunity for Shell and for other multinationals who commit human rights abuses overseas."

Leigh Day also represented 2,500 Zambian villagers in their pollution case against UK-based mining giant Vedanta Resources. Last month the Supreme Court ruled in their favour and they won an undisclosed settlement.

Fresh hope for justice
By Ishaq Khalid, BBC News, Lagos

Been seeing these revalidation topics a lot these days. This isn't news worthy please. Really, what do you expect us to do with this information.

IghravweIG:
Any one with genuine job slot in Fed ministry or any agency should contact me please. Even if its ministry no wahala.

Same here o, my interest is Ministry Of Transport. Willing to do legitimate business, just contact please

chrisooblog:
inaccurate news please this is the tweet by the WHO rep in Nigeria

https://twitter.com/WMulombo/status/1357990465480589315

"Clearly Nigeria is not among the first African countries that will get the vaccines, they will still be unable to access these vaccines until they put proper storage infrastructure in place. But they have not been "disqualified"

Hi everyone, I want to go through the process, but I am not in the country. Is there still a chance to do it especially considering the point of collection.

2. On their website, I saw a space to put in your NI number which I have lost apparently, is that compulsory please?

Thought he said he is not to be ever invited

I see you didn't read the article

Hmmm I don't agree

The companies (Dangote, Globacom, Zenith and others) are all private firms, even if the public has a stake in them. Their actions are undertaken to maximize profit as best as they can, and if they feel advertising on a major platform like CNN will give them that edge, then you can't tell them otherwise.

These companies have also gone global, their markets reach far and wide as diverse stakeholders could potentially patronize their products or services. Why limit their opportunities, when they may wish to break into a new market in another country and CNN can give them that publicity.

Also I assume their business analysts did a good job to justify the need through a proper business case to advertise on the CNN platform considering the high overhead cost, and for them to continue to advertise, they may be seeing the benefits already or a positive trend at the very least....my opinion though.

Avedonn:
Please you guys should give this guy a break.
People are taking this thing too far. He isn't the first man to lay a hand on woman. When Dino abused his wife why people didn't go after him?

I begin to sense jealousy out this whole thing cos the guy became a senator at a very young age while his mates are busy engaging in internet fraud.

Even Donald Trump was known to have mishandle some women sexually and Americans didn't go after him like this in as much as they are more sophisticated democratically.

Whenever Nigerians want to over do things that's how they do it. Last two weeks they bored the hell out of us with those rape cases, last week was Buhari's Ruga of a thing and now this week this Senator's case.

I'm sure next week would be Buhari's ministerial nominees.

People are just looking for someone's misfortune to vent their anger on.

How can you even say this after watching the video, people like you are why nothing ever works out in this country.

Maybe you are benefitting from this senator indirectly I really don't know, but please don't downplay what he did. You're still a human too, where's your empathy for the nursing mother?

Proper justice and compensation must be served, it will help to discourage others like him.

God bless

pls how much to get this to Lagos?

fake news, they didn't mention durex in the writeup so OP why are you using that picture?
even if it really happened, doesn't mean condoms are bad. they are still forms of birth control.
The amount of people here condemning condoms is the reason why nigeria is getting overpopulated with little to show for it. Ignorance smh
