if the house can survive few years, buy your own Land and focus on yours. Your brother knows he can renovate with the rent and get higher rent. He doesn't care..If the house will not survive that long, then do the renovation for your parents without thinking of recouping cos you left it to him all along and he might you are trying to take it over...humans can be evil when they sense a threat. A word is enough for the wise

JungleJustice01:
Both parents have passed no will was left. I basically leave the rents collected from the house rent to my only younger brother.

Now the house is deteriorating and I want to fix it, like give it a major facelift but the funds will be coming from me entirely. I don't have a personal house of mine but I believe an overhaul of this place can give leverage to increase the rent as it is in a good part of town.

My fear is after this investment, will I be able to recoup any funds? If I am to pass away, will my kids have any access to the property?

I love my brother but I've heard and read stories of human behavior especially in situations where there is no documentation.

What do I do?

I just had this discussion today...school is not for everyone..Instead of wasting money...he should invest in farming or other business and do certifications to become a master of his craft. Parents need to get over this desperate needs for a degree...even in the US, a billionaire is paying people not to go to college because he considers it a waste.

Now I don't think it's a waste but we often enter for a course we don't like and don't want because of cutoff then we keep on...then finish terribly and then realize we can't get a job with 2.2 or 3rd class and then regret the whole thing...why not cut your loss early and move on?

I left dentistry ...felt ashamed and later got full scholarship to study what I really enjoy Engineering and graduated with honors. I wanted to be a dentist for the money really..I enjoy the handiwork but the studying I hated and the professor...I withdrew after 2yrs...everyone was shocked. 10+ yrs later...no regret

PaNnamdi:
My younger brother studying biochemistry at the University of Benin have had about 5 carry overs. Now he is in his third year, and he is seriously depressed. I have seriously reprimanded him and also consoled him but I don't want him to spill and based on the fact that when am in school I never had issues like this, I decided to bring this online.

Is it possible for him to drop some of the mandatory courses in his department(note not core courses o,but mandatory courses) to accommodate for the carry over courses he had.

Please I need legit answers from those who are experienced in issues like this.

Mod u can place or more this to the rightful thread, Some might still be passing through this situation too in silent.

They should start acting like Philippine...demolish properties that are proceeds of crimes and sell the land. Just confisticating and selling it to other drug barons send a bad message cos truly how many people can buy these properties lol

Please send the information to our email ... idagbaempowermentfoundation@gmail.com. The Lagos State Chapter is launching this month in preparation for our 1yr anniversary in June. We are currently in talks to work with an orphanage in Ayobo, Lagos as part of our inaugural project in Lagos state. We are open-minded. The team will go to the location, carry out the needed surveillance, provide a report, and we will then act. An orphanage in a Catholic Church should be well-funded by the church. We will reserve our judgment till we do the needful. Sadly, some of the workers in these orphanages can even discourage givers by insisting on what they want and the approach donors must take.

Foodqueen:
Ok. If am not asking for too much, can your organization reach out to an orphanage in a Catholic church in Ketu, lagos. Those children needs all the help they can get. It's been run by some missionary(reverence) sisters.

Blame Peter Obi Lol...if he had gone quietly, they would have let all of these slide. I know LP and PDP tried to go after APC using these timelines as well, but APC had documents to show they wrote to INEC and so on. They went after APC before the Election. Imagine Otti losing his mandate after all the buhaha...this would be crazy. PDP will then win Abia State again.

Truthshscrazy:
Yeah last Apex court judiciary dragging; Supreme court and Appeal they dia.
I just hope they reinstate OTTI's LP governorship. Insha Allah

Federal High Court not state high Court. They can appeal. LP will however need INEC to help them by claiming they got the roster 30 days before primary. The same INEC they are suing at the Tribunal...may we not need to beg the same enemies we are vouched to fight till death do us part o lol

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Kano court don't have jurisdiction of anything concerning Abia.

I have responded. Thanks

Do you help widows too

Na village people dey worry you not data and snacks. That you are not thinking of your future and planning when according to you...you are not earning is more than a mystery. I believe one should indulge, but you must work hard, earn hard, to play hard. See Davido...he can continue having more baby mamas...he is also one of the hardest working dude...not minding he is from a billionaire empire.

GeneralKoko:
For me it has been data and eating out. Too much snack and Cho Cho Cho has taken all my money. How I blew 30k in a week when I'm not earning is still a mystery.

The same Garri he can mass export and become a job creator...he is making a joke of the whole possibility that exist with it. Make fine Garri and sell with nice Akara by the roadside...add option of Pap or Eko...and Bread. You cant go wrong if you are in a great location. You keep the profit on all of the things you sell including maximizing garri profit by not buying it from the sellers.

Man Fries Garri Wearing Suit to Protest High level of Unemployment, Neglect of Agriculture in Nigeria (Photos)
A man has protested the growing unemployment situation in Nigeria by wearing suit to fry garri. He also complained about what seems to be the neglect of Agriculture due to failure of government to fight insecurity affecting farmers.
The man who is a content creator posted this picture on his Facebook page and wrote “Serious Unemployment has happened to Nigeria. Even to go farm sef, insecurity no gree”.
He further wrote: “Expecting the next administrations to handle these two important issues please oo!”

The pictures have gone viral with several comments agreeing with the man’s view but saying he presented it in a weird manner.

WOMEN believe their mothers were fools to accept some norms...so they feel they can do it all alone. They should ask teachers like us...while there might be few students not affected by single parents, majority of children from single parent homes have significant issues...women working hard alone cant look after the kids.

They dabble in multiple relationships with men and the children get exposed to their Moms being with multiple men...and so on and so on. UK, US and now Nigeria...this is a very serious issue, and we are no where ready to addressing it. We call the girls from those homes...girls with daddy issues...they end up becoming very needy, depending on men or looking for older men among many others...some get unlucky and become prostitutes if not on drugs. The guys...well with no male figures, some or most just end up in Jail.

blacksam01:
in the last 2 month in my quest to get a wife... I encountered 7 single moms all working and beautiful...i was alarmed at the rate of the singlemomship..

many of them i deduced followed money of guyz and got stuck. For many also, it was supposed to b a good marriage but the guyz fell out of love.funny enough, all claimed to be properly married before....

so i ask, as this rising status continue in our society who among the male or female are reallyi fueling the Epidemic

The honest truth...you cant eliminate these things. In the USA, they started to crackdown on websites and it became escort services, and specials if you go to strip clubs. Even massage parlors, they will call them full option, so people will just change the work.

The rate has increased, and I will draw my own conclusion...because deportation from Europe skyrocketed. Most of these girls in Europe that engage in prostitutions are really high class prostitutes in Nigeria or so I heard, and they have been able to recruit more and more...while it is shame to let people know you re doing this in Europe, they have been able to make it mainstream in Nigeria...because Nigerians love lavish lifestyles and it does not matter if they are sleeping with wealthy men or foreigners.

Someone I know told me he lodged at a high end hotel in Lagos...guess the type where you pay N50k-N100k per night. He said he was ashamed to see all our women with foreigners. Do you blame them...$100/night ...N75,000....in 20 days a month...N1.5m. So sad but the train has sailed. MAYBE JUST MAYBE IF WE START EARLY, WE CAN TRAIN THE NEXT GENERATION...BY SHOWING THEM INFECTIOUS DISEASES, OTHER MEANS TO ACQUIRE SUCCESS AND LONG TERM MENTAL EFFECTS.

Gerrard59:
Sequel to these threads (https://www.nairaland.com/7678352/hookup-culture-nigeria-bad-even/1#122971617; https://www.nairaland.com/7680544/what-caused-hookup-culture/5#123045490) where Nairalanders, mostly males, keep complaining about the rise of hookup in Nigeria. I thought it pertinent to outline solutions that will REDUCE, not stop the trend.

The demand for sex by men is rising and consistent. As long as men crave sex and women are the only suppliers, nothing can be done. For hookups to reduce, Nigerian men should reduce their insatiable quest to have sex with random women. It is like having a department where male lecturers don’t do engage in sex for grades, ladies who are open to such will be forced to read their books whether they like it or not. Men create the system and women integrate into it. To buttress this, when women who have been doing hook-up attain 30+ years, there is a declining demand for their services because sexual service is tied to age and how young a woman is. As a result, she is either forced to retire or accept lower fees. This is because her customers – all men – have either stopped patronising her or are offering less cash. The men control the system.

It is a biological fact (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22552705/#:~:text=Sexual) for men to yearn for sex more than women. Women are literally the only people who can quench this thirst. Some will say it is because of greed, but c’mon! If you own something which is in high demand that is not regulated nor banned by the government, are you saying you won’t charge prices for it? Remember, this demand is consistent and persistent.

But errm, hook-up is the same with yahoo yahoo or drugs trading.

That is not true. Cybercrime, like the name implies, is a crime in almost every part of the world. Some governments legalise sex work and even offer health care services and tax them. But no government has legalised defrauding people online. This is because policymakers realise that sex is a natural phenomenon in which humans and animals indulge. You cannot outlaw people having sex. It is not possible. Even in conservative Dubai (https://www.economist.com/middle-east-and-africa/2023/01/05/women-in-the-middle-east-are-leading-a-revolt-against-prudish-men), women are going behind the corners to import intimacy gadgets. The government by law bans it, but does not arrest those who import it. But try importing guns into the country and see the government’s reaction. Dealing with hard drugs is not a natural concept for humans. It is acquired, so governments ban it or regulate it tightly compared to sex work.

For instance, in Geylang, Singapore, young women mostly from China engage in hookups under regulation from the Singaporean government. But if you transport drugs to Singapore, you get the death penalty, no ifs or buts. Japan has the second biggest porn industry globally, but you will be arrested, denied a lawyer for 21 days and detained or deported if you transport drugs into the country. The UAE restricted Nigerians’ entry, mostly men. The UAE would rather have Nigerian girls doing hookups in Dubai than her men committing cybercrime. There has not been a break-in by the Emirati police to arrest hookers compared to bursting cyber criminals.

Keep me informed and when you are ready to scale up, we can be of help. We support individuals and what do we ask....pass it forward and support others. Email us your progress and a proposal to scale up when the time comes...I would love to follow your progress for 1 yr. My Mom rears too but we give them away during Christmas as part of our NGO.

I rear broilers to start selling from 4 weeks.

This is my own side Hussle.

This time I added 2 turkey, cos I av never reared a day old turkey before.

I also added 5 cockerel to be roaming in the compound and eating left overs.

So far, they are doing very well.

No death till now, and I pray it remain so.

They were 7days old when this picture was taken.

Seems the Fed Govt is reluctant to put NTA on concession, allowing it to make money and run itself. I get the point...they don't want all media privately owned because it can be dangerous for democracy. On the other hand, they refuse to properly fund it because that would create avenues of corruption. I believe the Govt should privatize NTA, and have a right to pick HALF of its board members, so they can continue to have a hand in it, and still allow the TV Station to operate independently, charge appropriately, pay staff appropriately and upgrade their equipments. They have assets including journalists that can rival any and all TV stations in Nigeria. As a matter of fact, it is so hard to get a job in NTA than it is to get at AriseNews. If you follow the news, you will understand what I mean. They wont hire someone with Animal Husbandry to scream and shout every morning. You need to stand up to the tough veteran journalists that will not take shit.

9jabox:
In what looked like a script off of a fictional novel, the unbelievable happened today on our nation’s premiere Tv station, the NTA when the wooden backdrop used to identify the program on air fell on the presenter of the program on live Tv.

The presenter literally shouted Jesus and ran out of the stage.

Stay in school...its called DEMAND and SUPPLY. Why is a Pencil N100 in Nigeria and $2 in the USA (N1500). If Dangote and BUA was losing money, they wont be selling it at that price. Cost of doing businesses in Nigeria is also higher...do you even know how many trucks they need to meet the demand of Cement in Nigeria? That is how you expand operation as well.

We do not question Facebook, Twitter and so on when we pay for adverts. Stop being a HATER and support AFRICANS and AFRICA.

He’s a benefactor of this evil nation

Since this is our church, I came to give my testimony.
I wrote this movie in 2021 and we just shot it two weeks ago. It was produced by our company, Julob Entertainment Ltd and we had casts and crew from over five states, including some known faces.

Has anyone else produced a film, how did you go about marketing or selling it? Any advice will help a brother.

This is the reason other parties worked tirelessly behind the scene to see Osinbajo's emergence as apc flagbearer.

Besides, apc never advised the labourers party to pick a candidate it is comfortable with, that's none of its business.

No fewer than 16 persons have been reportedly killed in a bloody supremacy clash between two rival cult groups – Klaans and confraternities – over the control of a minibus park in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.

It was gathered that the incident started on Sunday in the Nwaniba Area of the state when the two groups engaged each other over alleged encroachment into the park to collect parking tolls by one group, forcing an angry reaction from the opposing camp.

A resident of the community, Nora Iwang, told newsmen in Uyo on Tuesday, that property estimated at several millions of naira have been destroyed in the crisis while thousands have deserted their homes.

Nora who said she was returning home that fateful day disclosed that she had to sleep with relations and friends outside the area, following distressed calls from frightful neighbours around Udo Ekpo Nkpo Street.

“Thank God, I finally arrived at my house this morning (Tuesday) after my friends called me Monday evening to sleep elsewhere and not to return for fear of being killed by the rampaging armed hoodlums,” Iwang lamented.

Another resident, Anofiok Usen said, “My wife called me at about 7:50 pm on Monday, that I should not return home because of ongoing killings around my area in Udo Ekpo Nkpo Street and the adjoining areas of Nwaniba, Ekpri Nsukara, Eniong Offot and Use Offot communities. I had to take refuge at my sister’s place off Abak road till this morning, Tuesday.”

“Throughout these last three days, we’ve been staying indoors from 6:00 pm because of the fight and the Police operatives would only mount the guard on major roads, harassing ordinary unarmed civilians without going into the villages to confront the real culprits,” another resident, who identified herself as Emem Duncan, told our Correspondent.


Investigation revealed that eight people were slaughtered in Use Offot, and over 10 others were killed in Anua, Ekpri Nsukara and Oniong communities, while several others have been hospitalised in various hospitals with varying degrees of injuries.

Meanwhile, the police Public Relations Officer, SP Odiko Macdon, who confirmed the killings, said only four people were killed, adding that “the Commissioner of Police Olatoye Durosinmi, is miffed at the disruption of public order and safety by two rival cult groups at Anua Offot and Use Offot, both at Nwaniba, in Uyo Local Government Area, leading to the loss of lives.

“The CP condemned in strong terms the wanton destruction of lives and has vowed to bring perpetrators to book, hence, he has deployed Tactical resources to restore order and fish out the perpetrators.

“The CP has, therefore, called on residents of the said communities and Uyo, to go about their lawful businesses without fear of molestation and be assured of their safety because of strategies emplaced.

[b]“He has sent a clear warning to perpetrators of these dastardly acts to desist forthwith or face the dire consequences of their actions,” [/b]Macdon said in a statement on Tuesday.
