I've read the arguments against these protests but it seems a lot of people don't know what the youths are up against.

Before you condemn the End Police Brutality protesters, try to pay a visit to the prisons and see the number of innocent persons there. Personally, a Policeman once stopped me on the road and asked me what job I was doing to drive the kind of car I drove. I told him I'm a lawyer who owned my firm. He insisted on going through my phone to show I was clean. It was until I threatened to sue the CP and IGP before he started begging. Imagine what other young professionals face. A few weeks ago, some policemen threatened to slap my uncle who is above 60 years. This is a man who retired at Director-level in the CBN.

2 days ago, a colleague reached out to me that her neighbour was arrested by the Police. There was a Warrant from another state for his arrest, so it seemed okay on the surface. Now, when she got to the Police station, the Policemen told her not to bother getting a lawyer as it won't change anything. According to them, if the family of the guy was willing to play ball, they would arrest a random person on the street and use him to substitute the person in custody. Provided the court has gotten a scapegoat, it won't matter even if it is an innocent person framed and jailed for an offence he knows absolutely nothing about.

I know for a fact that innocent people are raided regularly and taken to the station. If they can't pay heavy sums for their bail, they are framed for armed robbery and beaten into making self-indictive statements. Also, other persons in custody are tortured to identify the innocent persons as members of their gangs.

You sit in Nairaland thinking your chicken change or investments can protect you or you think you're too old to face Sars or Police harassment. I laugh.
20 years from now when you think you're safe. You have invested all your life and sent your kids to live abroad and they are back for the holidays. Your son takes your car to fuel at the gas station or you send him on an errand and these criminals in uniform would profile them. In the course of explaining and arguments, they would be shot dead. You think it is impossible? They would kill your children and absolutely nothing would happen, I guarantee you. How many killer cops have you seen jailed?

I'm not for anarchy and breakdown of law and order but you should know that peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of justice.

This excuse is more foolish than the initial decision.

wow so tinubu doesn't even have oshiomole's number Of loyal members in the NWC and they will say its tinubu controlling everywhere

You don't understand, Oshiomhole is loyal to Tinubu. Tinubu made him Chairman.

Constant desire for love, acceptance and validation is what drives David to do many of the things he does. He doesn't need to prove anything to anyone. He's a very hard worker and he's done well for himself. No need begging for love or acceptance. No need fighting imaginary enemies.

I pray for Leke that God should give him divine wisdom cos he desperately needs it. May social media not be his ruin and may be be a example to emulate and not a mistake to avoid.

MBA trades has fired over 106 staff and still owing them including the ones they fraudulently deducted pensions from their salary they never remitted to pension managers

If this is true, it is a federal offence which attracts hefty fines and long jail terms. Anyway, whether they fire or not, the scheme is not sustainable and it is just a matter of time before the inevitable happens.

The recent updates are aimed at aggressively ensuring that more money remains in the system. A classic sign of distress.

Ghana leads as other nations follows...

The real giant of africa

Better don't let Nigeria deprive Ghana of electricity. They are still reeling from the border closure.

Deborah98:
What happened to her face

That's a sign of bitter tears of regret.

This is a subsisting court judgment barring this Lagos state agency from implementing this stupid levy, yet this one went ahead to write the letter that nailed his coffin.
When you are in civil or public service, you learn to use your common sense and not behave like an idiot.

Leezah:
Why?

The reason is obvious. You would get the true picture of the kind of tenant such a person is.
The prospective tenant could be owing 3 years rent and wants to use it to pay 1 year rent to you. 2 years from now, you'll open a thread on how to handle a problematic tenant.

Don't inherit unnecessary problems. Speak to his previous landlord.

Leezah:
Thank you boss! I used your form your dropped on the NT-Bills thread. His a business (generators repairs-Lister and Perkins) man with 6 children.

Speak to his previous landlord. Very important.

Leezah:
Boss! How do one do a verification about on a tenant?

Provide the tenant with a tenant's form which requests all information you need from that tenant. Once you have it, verify the info. Speak to his or her employers and previous landlord.
Try to gauge the income level of the tenant to see if the tenant can maintain payment of rent for the property.

Follow your gut feeling and don't shine teeth with the tenant. It's a business transaction and keep it that way.
