Food › Re: The ₦2000 Plantain I Bought Around Chevron Lekki Yesterday by NoToPile: 12:02pm On May 20, 2022
Plantain is actually very expensive now but that one no suppose pass 1.2k or 1.5 k maxsha as per lekki price.

It's four healthy looking pieces they called 800 that day here in mainland extension I didn't buy o.

I believe the 2k is the asking price, she expected you to haggle the price and since you didn't have any intention to price it further no issue niyen.
Crime › Re: Lagos Burns As Okada Riders Battle Police by NoToPile:
It was at ojo Barracks not Alaba Rago, it was not funny this morning. Police men and those Okada aboki men, there were gunshots.

Gist had it that the policemen at Barracks bustop police station were trying to enforce no Okada law given by Sanwo olu few days back
( which doesn't even affect oriade, Ojo and Amuwo LGAs in the first place ) and it seemed they saw it as a means of extortion which is possibly right because those policemen at Barracks are something else.

It degenerated and it became a shit show, gunshots from the police, stones and sticks from the aboki.

I don't believe in hear-say-hear-say and I don't support tenant to start making troubles with their landlords but this is something we hv being doing for years.
When a landlord jam tenant wey soji and sabi channels na their u go tire. This is a place wey I volunteered as a FIELD officer, landlord go tire to go court, forget, we don't encourage tenants to be making troubles
It is not about hearsay its what we have seen happen and it is the position of the law on that issue, except you are saying that law is not valid.

There is no place in the Lagos tenancy law that gives the tenant a right to live for free in an apartment. This doesn't mean some landlords don't allow them live for free though, it is not a right.

Most landlords prefer not to go the court route actually, but there are those who see it to the end.

Lolssss, some tenants can be funny likewise some landlords, trouble no good but baba landlord, just pray not to jam tenant wey sabi channels pass u, I'm telling u from personal experience. I know what I'm telling u, d only thing here is that majority doesn't know some channels to go to.
Actually you are wrong, what the law says is you are entitled to 6 months notice as a yearly tenant but it's not free, the courts will even enforce it, if he doesn't pay ballif can auction the properties ask any Lagos Lawyer.

When your rent has expired you are a tenant at will and only entitled to 7 days.

What your NGOs are doing is a sort of mediation, by Law you are not entitled to stay free and they also know this. If the landlord challenges them legally he will win.

Lots of landlords do let it go because they just want the tenant to leave but if you jam landlord that has the time, and can pass through court ish, he will follow the law to the latter.

Same thing I keep telling a friend of mine, whose landlord had given them 6 months notice prior to the expiry date of her rent, she kept shouting she's going to human right at the local govt blablabla.

Told her you guys should plant to move, if you need extension talk to her nicely the woman might not even might giving you guys extra time to move, lailai oo, she's not listening, shes waiting for the rent to finish and then another free 6 months, I said okay oo.

It's probably a strategy to to tell us to vacate.


Imagine out of four tenants the letter was given to just two of us.

I and the other tenant had protested on why a single prepaid meter should be brought fur the whole compound without even noticing anyone. Making us to pay higher bills for electricity Not that we aren't paying our bills as at when due.

Maybe na it make the guy want use toilet matter pursue us
Loool, there you have it. Pay higher bills how?


The wahala prepaid has caused in some compounds is not a small one, especially that the free prepaid they were sharing per bill.

Oga you don't know her people more than her. Let her be. When they grant their people access to you you cry about how they are exposing you to their people. They try to protect you from them you complain of how they are not allowing their people come near you. You don't know what her family has been demanding from you behind you which she may not want to reveal to you.

Wait until that your little success begin wane na that time you go kota sign.
Thank you. She might have her reasons it might be extreme but she knows the people she's dealing with and why she's creating that impression.

Though I don't fancy about lying about stuffs I would rather not say anything or just say we thank God for everything.

I have actually seen people do this with the thought of "If I create the impression that I am lacking you won't have the guts to ask me for anything" and "By the time ai am begging you for 50naira you won't be able to beg me for 10 naira"

You can talk to her and ask why she's creating the impression you guys are lacking.

Silly people everywhere both the guy that didn't know it was a semen analysis and needed a 3rd party to confirm and the lady that sent semen analysis as pregnancy test. All of you are not serious.

I just watched this video, the girl was just standing by that bike and they went to drag her, those boys look less than 18 years and they were already dragging her bringing out sticks.

That girl in red and black quietly dodged and walked away.

Wow! Thanks!

But can you put an estimate to it?
Hmm in all honesty I really cant because taking care of a baby is not a kind of one off expense. So I don't really have a figure.

Just have a reasonable sizeable amount on ground and more inflowing income.

Prices are fluid these days so whatever price we tell you will definitely change by next week.

For diapering budget 4-6 or 8 daily.

Baby milk, 1 pangolo every 3-6 days, maybe 8 days sha if the baby milk is just a supplement not the main meal, i.e the baby is majorly in breast milk.

Clothes - Your taste, okirika, aba, China new is available, the very quality US /Turkey ones too are there.

Body care- soaps there are nice baby liquid soaps, you can also use our local black soap when the baby is older.
For cream I prefer ori or coconut oil depending on the weather.


But what will gulp your money most is diapers grin. At least for baby milk you know it's food and the baby is eating it but that diapers ehn

All these are excluding antenatal, delivery and all other unforseen expenses in the course of raising a baby.

happney65:
That is why I said government is at fault. Subsidy should only be on Health and Education from primary school to secondary school. Infact it is should be free and quantitative. It is only tertiary education that should not be free.

Throwing gabbage on road medians and government parking it for you for free should be discouraged totally. Laws should be made and anybody found doing such should be sent to jail. You don't want to pay for refuse,then burn it

QED!
Actually under Lagos environmental law you are not permitted to burn refuse. It's an offence one is meant to give the PSP waste and pay.

Its already an offense to throw stuffs on the median but these people can come midnight / early morning to throw waste. How many will they catch, they do catch some though.

happney65:
Yes it is the government. It is the government that tells them to go and dump for there that they will come and park it. The PSP most times play the government too asking for things that does not make sense. I don't blame them because they know government won't want to see refuse everywhere.

The government should henceforth stop parking people's refuse for them. If you cannot pay private refuse collectors,then find a way to burn your refuse. Government doing subsidy for refuse collection is totally wrong and it should be discouraged.

If I were to be Govornor,I will put a stop to people putting refuse in public and road median. You put there,you go to jail for 3days with option of fine of 100,000naira
It should be discouraged but Nigerians don't like paying for anything even here in Lagos that we have PSPs residents will not give waste to PSP simply because they want to evade monthly payment, they will carry waste to the roadside and Lawma will be forced to mop it up because they don't want dirt on the highways.

Diesel is a major factor now,before when you roll a compactor out for a day it used to be around 14-15k for a trip and to dump now it's 25-28k is being spent per trip per day and if your truck runs into trafficyour BP will start getting high because you know you might have to buy more fuel, you do that and the residents don't pay, how do you cover for your logistics not to talk of payment of staff.

Parts are crazily expensive now, they can say air finished, compacting system, gear, ikoko different kinds of issues arising and residents will be telling you it's supposed to be a free service , add 10-15 million naira which is the price of a compactor here to the mix and you will see why the PSP will stop going to residents.

Until govt enforces payment and put those throwing refuse on the road in jail we will keep rigmarroling.

Gentlesoul2021:
The way he’s attacking people is hilarious. He’s just shouting the certificate is useless despite people referring him to the future importance of the said certificate. Truly, this country is not really helping those who has education at heart but I just don’t know why some set of individuals will want to force their opinion on others. It’s not worth it. We all can’t follow same route in life.

This same issue is what I’m frowning at with someone I know just become his gas nd pos business were on smooth sailing then he’s attacking small kids who are trying to get their first degree that he isn’t even sure they will make use of it as if he sees thru the future just because he was unable to make use of his own. Mind u, he’s even receiving stipends from npower thru his degree. What if his degree is not there how can he become a beneficiary of the said program. Because of this, I have to move away from that circle of gathering.

Some set are fond of misleading people all in the name of baseless advice while some do it so that u can’t measure upto or more than them.

Definitely whatever certificate we acquired may or may not be useful now but sooner or later it can.

We are just humans nobody knows tomorrow, we all should follow what we feel is best for us.!!!!

This issue is just a matter of communication. He shouldn’t have discourage her off her plan rather than advice her to combine the two tasks or she employ a staff that will help her in overseeing her business till she finish her program.

My fear right now is even establishing a business considering how lucky or unlucky someone can be plus I do not even have a capital ATM but I do really wish to venture into that angle maybe sooner or later.!!!
You are spot on, the job I have now if I didn't have a master degree I wouldnt have got it, all it needed was a master degree and It came 5 years after I got the MSc. The day it came it was like a dream, meanwhile I had been working with BSc.

I would never ever discourage any one from going to school or going further lailai. Everybody's path is different.

I was speaking with a woman yesterday who's son was into photography, he initially got admission full time to FUNAB, he told his mum he wanted photography, he left the admission he did 1 year photography training, moved to pefti to do a diploma now he has his own studio set up,I think he specializes in food photography now he's doing part time in UNILAG with his business and he will almost be through. He owns a solid business and he's getting his cert.

Also for a business as fluid as POS or gas that one govt policy can change everything one would need to diversify. Look at GOkada for e. G.
Your friend has his degree he's using to receive Npower stipend even if he feels is chicken change and is discouraging others from going to school, does he know what their degree may bring them.


Is it not this same education that made some people for life.

I personally feel she would be better of without him, because he has only one line of reasoning and people like that are not easy to live with.

Truth is she is a selfish woman.
Selling your eggs indirectly means you have a child outside marriage ( correct me if I'm wrong, unless the eggs is about to be fried and put in-between two loaves undecided) ?
I just felt he should be more upset she sold the eggs without informing him, the vibes I am getting here is he wouldn't have minded if she had sold the eggs without informing him but had Paid house rent or school fees with it.

Wait first what exactly is the OP upset about, that she sold her eggs or she sold it without her husband's consent or she sold it and bought a phone with it.

Maybe he would have felt better if she used it to pay house rent. It seems the only reason he's upset is because she didn't use it to solve pressing needs not necessarily because she sold it or she didnt inform him.

I don't even get what the hullabo is all about and the way OP is replying people makes me wonder.

She wants a masters fine, you only need the information and she's Informed you, I don't get what you are worked up about.

Masters that is 1 year or 2 years max with time to even run business, so what's the fuss about.

Having an extra degree worked for some of us, some it's business, everyone mustn't have the same orientation.



I was even thinking she wanted to break up with you, if you want to break up with her because she's going for masters then she might be better off without you.
