they all have blood on their hands now, who knows even if the burnt man is innocent...INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE, SAY NO TO JUNGLE JUSTICE!!!

pato231:
Because the level of my discuss outweighs your miopic and condescending being. As long as you keep quoting me, i will quote you. Bastard

mynd44, lalasticlala, take note.

the reporters must have been wrong, the prison warder was probably following orders. probably it was not right to take picture of an accused without due process and the reporters wanted to use 'ogboju', anyways, werin consign me sef?

pato231:
It is evident you do not know basic computer use, you have been quoting me all along. Your sense of irresponsibilty has beclouded your thinking. keep spewing thrash, i do not join issues with kids. Now is see why the redemption of Nigeria is not in sight, if we still have growing youths nay kids like you with this mindset. For the record a cyber cafe attendant earns a honest living, your type go the quick way then end up owing rent and sundry because you failed to plan according to your income from the get go. Use your brain kid.

you started quoting me in the first place and it is quite evident, i will never quote your likes...please dont quote me again. thanks.

pato231:
lol i see a kid trying to be all grown up here, i do not need to Google tenancy agreement because i have been a landlord Long before you started earning money to feed yourself( That is if you do). What is the real world? that people should not act and live responsibly?
I know your type, kid from the gutter, never do well and always wanting to be the villian. Lets be glad you are typing from the comfort and protection of your computer, i would have given you reason to consult your uncles.

i know your types on nairaland and i desperately run from ur likes; who asked if you are a landlord? i have simply asked you to have a recourse to tenancy laws in Nigeria and make meaningful contribution,check if i am wrong and come back to let us know i am wrong, abeg we are tired of little boys here on NL, it is as if you guys do meeting because you all spew the same thrash, same cybercafe attendants coming to form landlords and big boys only on cyber, i never even quoted you in the first place because ur comment reeks of childishness, small boy oshi.

because you be landlord now (which both of us know that it is not true) you will create your own tenancy laws abi? moote

pato231:
Daddy mature,Nobody here supports his apartment being locked but lets face it he was about to run with the rent and electricity bill, this would have doubled the existing one owed by the previous tenant.
Same way tou have shops to sell wares and turn over profit, this is exactly the same way these home owners need the rent to recoup their investment. When and if you do own a property, please let your tenants live rent free but until then advise your cohort to pay up his bills and clear any outstanding.

pls i did not quote you, and from your comment you lack objectivity. you are talking from the landlord's perspective and i am talking of the real world. that is the reality and law out there. the rent owed is just 1 month and from all indication, the light bill owed is by previous tenant; he just owes 6k. please mr immature how can sum1 run away from 1 month owed rent? (where people way dey owe 1 year sef still dey kampe)? the law supports tenants in Nigeria, and before you start sentiments about the landlord , go and make your research on tenancy contract (google is ur friend)and make meaningful contribution or ask your uncles, thanks.

talk asking price joor,and lets see the interior

the dude looks like a frustrated Phd student, his facial look connotes academic stress, his cap and attire; which undergraduate fit to dress like that? he is probably thinking of going back to farming...

thunder74:
I read some of the comments here and they are off the point or at best moral advice which is different from the position of our laws.

You did not tell us your location but let me assume that you are in Lagos. Your remedy is already captured by the Tenancy law which placed a fine of N250k or three months imprisonment on any landlord that uses self-help in ejecting his/her tenant.

If you have the money and the time, file a criminal complaint at the nearest police station for it to be taken up from there.

Your landlady should have served you six months notice and after its expiration, give you 7 days owner's intention to apply to recover possession. Then if you still refuse or ignore to give possession, she can then approach court to get a valid order to eject you. We should stop celebrate illegality on the alter of sentiment, whatever you permit will increase.

Kindly take note also that you will also pay for every other days you stay in the house after 31st of May and also pay for all the utility bills.

One woman tried this with one of my clients, she will never try it again in her life after I was through with her.

am happy with this comment, so we still have some mature people here on nairaland who know what they are saying (not some small kids rushing to comment without knowledge). in Nigeria landlady cannot kick you out without recourse to court, and quit notice (which would still give the tenant 6 months to comply). thank you sir!!!

hardbody:
The fact your rent expired does other warrant that constructive eviction. As it is, you are entitled to 7 seven days notice of owners intention to possess. Thereafter a writ of eviction filed, served on you and argued in court before you can be evicted by the court. You can dismantle that lock and access your house when you remain a statutory tenant until lawfully evicted. You can also go to court seek injunction restraining the landlord from unlawfully evicting you. Your lawyer should also seek declaration that you are entitled to requisite notice before eviction and the fact that such a lockout was a continuing breach of your rights to peaceful accommodation.

While at it, you should also pay in the outstanding bill into the court.

Be certain to protect yourself and additionally get the police involved by claiming threat to life. That way your landlord will be made to sign that he will be of good behaviour and will not take steps that will jeopardise your life.

Finally, be ready to move and make arrangements to procure alternative accommodation as you can no longer stay there after all these.

Alternatively, go and beg your landlord and pay him/her.

i was silently reading all comments hoping i would get to read a mature and reasonable comment and here i am...
most of the other comment (before urs) dont even know tenancy rules or agreement. sadly many people who have never even dreamt of renting a house all by themselves would still rush to contribute their stupid comments.

from what i deduce, the 25k that was on the light bill was from the previous tenant, it did not matter to this new tenant (probably) until now; when PHCN has decided to come convert their post meter into prepaid. and with this you need to offset the previous balance, either spread out monthly or outrightly.
it is wrong for the landlord to lock a tenant's house, without recourse to law. unless an agreement was not attained.
after 7 days notice of owners intention, op still has 6 months to use to search for alternative accommodation after being served quit notice.

my 2 cents.

Nollywood actor, Charles Okocha, popularly called Donga or 2pac, has said the time he spent in the hospital battling with survival from bullet wounds opened his eyes to a lot of things.
He said surviving six gun shots wounds where he spent several weeks at the hospital were his tying times which made him realize who his true friends are.
www.nairaland.com/attachments/3330379_stomachburst_jpegd2d3485338e44553b4462901ade55d7f
It would be recalled that Okocha was attending a wedding ceremony in Nnewi, Anambra State on December 27, 2015 when a drunken mobile policeman approached him.
“The policeman walked to where I was standing and said that my movies always made him happy.
“He said as a mark of appreciation of my works and the respect he had for me, he would shoot into the air as a form of salute, even though I didn’t fancy the idea.
“The guy was very drunk and so when he corked his gun to shoot, it fell from his hand.
“Unfortunately, the gun had been programmed to shoot rapidly and sporadically. I was very close to him and before the gun dropped some bullets had hit me,” Okocha had earlier disclosed.
In a chat with The Punch, the ‘Strong Men at Work’ actor said, “This tragic incident has really opened my eyes to a lot of things.
“Today I know who my real friends are because even the people I thought would stand by me in this trying period have deserted me.
“A lot of them didn’t even call or come to visit me. Some were even peddling wrong information that I fought with a mobile policeman and I was shot in the process. But that was a big lie. None of them ever called to find out how I was doing.
“I have learnt a lot of lessons during this period. I have learnt that even people you call friends could disappoint you when you least expect,” he said.
The actor ascribed his survival to divine grace.
According to him, the incident would have been averted if he had heeded his mother’s warning.
“My mother had a premonition of the incident days ahead through a vision revealed to her in church but I didn’t take it too seriously.
“She warned me not to go for that particular occasion but I ignored her. There was a time I had an accident while returning from the club, my mother had also seen the event ahead and warned me but I also refused.
“I would say my being alive today has been by the divine grace of God. It wasn’t just me that the bullet hit; it hit another guy who came all the way from Germany for that particular ceremony.
“The guy was supposed to have his wedding three days after that time but he did not survive the incident. He was hit by only one bullet but God spared my life even with six bullets.“Nobody was willing to take me to hospital in their vehicle because they were afraid I was going to die in it. Five cars rejected me. I lost a lot of blood. It was only God that kept me alive,” the actor added.

. @ bold the guy was my very good friend, a very nice and bright lad. the wedding ceremony was actually his bride to be's younger sister. we were preparing for his wedding on saturday and he was gunned down on thursday, God knows best sha still cant believe he is gone, may his soul rest in perfect peace.

tosyne2much:
Runs girls pushing guys into early grave since 1200BC... So we wey don pass 26 wey never dey use motor should go and rob bank or do yahoo yahoo abi? But you deem it right for a lady to be 26 begging for recharge card and money from these same men who aren't using cars yet? *Nonsense*

No matter how serious and hardworking you are, it's paramount to know that all guys can't be destined to be a car owner at the age of 26, the same way we all are not destined to be rich no matter our labour and hardwork. It's not a curse or something, that's the dynamism of life. Maybe we need to start having a proper orientation and mind reconditioning about life and its dynamism

When you live your life with the notion that you want to become rich so that ladies will trip for you, then you are on your way to misplaced priorities

brother no offense o...but this na the highest making sense thing you have ever posted, congrats!

The writer is a buffoon... You are talking WAEC and you are talking about jobs, which company employs WAEC holders? We should be worried if it were graduates he was talking about. No sentiments, but the number of professors from ekiti alone surpassess the number of professors from the first 5 states on that list

The man went incommunicado, the company must have been patient enough with all excuses, they reported to police, police;in its over exurberance, tramples on human right, an underage (for crying out loud '2' year old) was detained. Office of the public defender would have been advised for the wife. But then again, the IPO would deny detaining the child, make the man take heart, he caused all these, ndo.

xtroppy:
Hold it there!

Someone who's barely existing can't be of help to another who's faring better than him.

I can therefore volunteer to feed your generation...

sorry, we don't eat worms...

xtroppy:
I really empathise with you on your sorry state.

If I were you I would have long figured out the minion that sired me. And by now I'd have had an idea I'm willing and ready to die for!

please hang in there! your brother (Ngige) is at the verge of the N5000 breakthrough for allocation to jobless graduates. don't be mad, Mr Biggs is hiring...

xtroppy:
Neanderthal savage of dirt, squalor, anger, hate and propaganda from a juju-infested enclave where smelly culture of insolence, extortion and toutism are upheld with so much pride and kingship sold to the dogs cum celebrated miscreants.

To save you from much pommeling you would have simply requested as usual to have my response deleted by your in-house, biased NL mod.

Miserable, cretinous minions who earn a living on pay-per-post basis just to attempt to quench the call for self-determination by another people.

Your delusion is that you think a butterfly supposedly acting smart is a bird!

Ass-licker whose tribe rarely stand for anything!

my condolences...

if i was you, i would hate the world too!

xtroppy:
Lies of hypocrisy and propaganda to divert attention from the very obvious!

You indeed sounded like a repugnant clown parading and displaying foolery and flaunting it as knowledge.

If my previous comment was baseless and had not knocked some senses into you you lots wouldn't have surreptitiously asked your biased NL mod to quickly delete my heart-piercing comment and subsequently banned my previous moniker. But that's still no deterrent for me releasing befitting rebuttals at full throttle like never before against your shenanigans.

You're not man enough to challenge the marauding herdsmen who maim and kill your kinsmen but you hypocritically and callously treat IPB members who pose no threat to citizens as miscreants and criminals. 

It's a misnomer for a people who are barely existing (with strange diseases, penury and illiteracy ravaging their lands) to dictate to another, that fare better than them and most tribes in Nigeria, how to live!

I shall reveal the underlying fears of your masturbations and baseless postulations: the fear of Fulanis plundering your entire land, islamisation, no free crude oil wealth and eventual low economic activities in your land once BFR emerges.

The Business Venture of Lord Lugard being supervised by the Islamic Fulani-led fiefdom, maintained by Hausa born-to-rule hegemony and oiled by Yoruba propaganda and lies is moribund already. 

The 102 years of existence is a testament to that verdict. And Igbos are not willing to self-destruct with you!

A legitimate agitation by a people for a simple referendum is no way a crime. Formulating baseless theories of failure on a people's quest reeks of hypocrisy and only meant to divert attention from the crust of the matter to the subterranean.

Go find an idea to live and die for!

nice beautiful jargon you wrote up there...

@ bolded shows you are just another educated illiterate. aw can a normal nincompoop in his (its) royal hideousness sitting behind his second generation computer dictate for a whole tribe? u can go to your village and start BIAFRA there, maybe others will follow....

luvinhubby:
They just collaborated corroborated what CDD said, Buhari has achieved nothing in 10 months.

now that's better.

zendy:
So this whole write up of yours is to defend how Lord Lugard came from Britain to beat up, shoot, kill and rape your ancestors in other to make them Nigerians? You think you would be a Nigerian if Lugard had not come? Or maybe you would have gone to Britain with a placard saying "Lugard come and give me my country!".


Any group of people are entitled to go their way any time they want and for whatever reason especially when they were forced into the country against their will. Wether they fail in their new country is not your business. You were not with this people before, now you claim to be one with them just because Lugard told you so. The Nigerian question must be answered by a referendum. A referendum must be conducted so that the indigenous ethnic groups that make up the geographical expression called NIgeria can finally decide who they are. We cannot keep carrying this "British identity" called Nigeria that was forced on us all. This is not just about Biafra, this is about the right of a person or people to choose. A person who had no right to choose is a prisoner, doesn't matter if you call that person a Nigerian or not.

Personally, I would prefare a much smaller Biafra that is working than a big Nigeria which has turned out to be a 55 year old disaster.

must admit you make a lot of sense, but reality is that many still believe in the zoo called Nigeria.

xtrorple:
****

i really feel low replying to this because from all indication, you have not assimilated the write up. you just read the topic and rushed back to baseless comments. for ur mind now you be graduate.SMH

cheruv:
This piece is proof of what happens when a non Igbo takes panadol for an Igbo man's headache...

Busybodies everywhere

well i don't know what you are talking about, i have said my mind only as a Nigerian, not as an igbo, yoruba or hausa man.

@ busybodies pot calling kettle black. i was'nt exactly expecting many constructive argument comments, was expecting you bunch of zombies and noise makers also. in a saner clime youths would have started investigation on the piece and came back with a well researched conclusion. for nairaland na frustrated cybercafe attendants full here jus to dey yarn dust.

1bunne4lif:
in your widest wildest dream

that's better

Atlantian:
Biafra was a country for 3yrs with a standard currency and standing army. Cure your ignorance by flipping through the history books. That war ended without a victor or vanquish.

you just agreed with the topic with just one word from your statement. 'was'. climes have changed men, face reality.

The agitation for the actualization of the Sovereign State of BIAFRA is quite inline with the right of nations to self determination which has now come to stand as cardinal principle in modern international law. as a point of reference, the law states that nations; based on respect for the principle of equal rights and fair equality of opportunity, have the right to freely choose their sovereignty and international political status with no external compulsion or interference. so as far as the world is concerned, BIAFRA movement is an exercise of right to self-determination. however, one is compelled above the din, to critically analyse the possibility of the secessionist movement's success(if there is to be any). 3 reasons why the movement will be frustrated and might fail is as thus:
1) Politically motivated: the international community appreciates the rule of law with regards to self-determination. this will help to stamp out tyrants and ensure people are governed by their consent. however, the international community are not deaf and dumb, neither are they stupid. questions would be raised and most prominent being 'why now'? what is the trigger? has there truly been a marginalization? as a country Nigeria, how involved are the igbos in the country politically? what posts have they occupied? etc. and they will understand that there are some few that feels politically irrelevant now, and BIAFRA itself; before its most recent movement, at the barest mention of it provokes many of the igbo tribes (especially the youths) due to the BIAFRAN war which has ensured we remain united at the evil expense of many lives. BIAFRA itself is no longer a genuine movement, it reeks of ibo politicians who has turned the pains of memory of the BIAFRA war to their personal gain.
2)self-determination is confusing: the principle of self determination has not stated what constitute a nation, neither has it stated the type of group which may legitimately claim right to self-determination. its really difficult for a group of people to make use of self determination, (then again, what can we really classify as group of people, 3? 10?) because the law itself is not well stated out, my take? self determination itself was promulgated to discourage bad leadership and also one of the many weapons that has been reserved to be used by strong world leaders to hack down bad leadership and destroy threatening increase in strength (economically, population wise, etc) of other nations through the use of united nations. (winston and roosevelt, i doff my hat). what am i saying? self-determination to a large extent is determined or can be used only when these leaders want it to be used (trust me, they know how to incite such) and only when the country poises a threat. Nigeria is best left alone (so they will think) because there is little or no gain to them from BIAFRA's break away. it might have interested these leaders if it were a south south breakaway. in a nutshell, self-determination has been cleverly coined only as as a means to an end for these UN cabals, hence, its confused definition and unclear principle which has made them as the ultimate judge as no judge in the world can rule on it in clear terms. so BIAFRA is not determined by self-determination, it is determined by selfish interests.
3)Many of igbo descendant do not even believe in the so called BIAFRA movement and even see it as a probable downfall in their business. take scotland (for instance), there had been agitation for full independence time immemorial, most recent is the independence referendum (sept 18 2014) in which (not surprisingly), majority still voted NO towards the agitation. this can be largely attributed to stakes which is at all time high as well as common interest. one would have thought that the whole scottish nation supported independence due to the noise about it but when it was time to act towards it, majority carried the vote (which was a NO to independence). dont be surprised if more igbo people don't want to be part of the smaller zoo (BIAFRA), they just want to remain in the big zoo where there is still much space and less aggression.

generally, BIAFRA is not a movement. it is a tool by few pot bellied politifcians fast running out of relevance. at the mention of BIAFRA, what comes mostly to mind is the struggle, death of innocent souls, and naturally; Anger. anger of the occurrences of the Ojukwu led war. the movement, in itself, is not purged of ethnic sentiments neither does it have clarified terms on why they want to leave except for recent political fallout largely due to miscalculation. i doubt if many ibos will obey the BIAFRAN clarion call when we now have a segun Arinze, Emeka Balogun, etc. let truth be told, if there were ever going to be a BIAFRA, it wont be anytime soon.

Long live Nigeria

United we are stronger
