if you are one of these people as you are reading this may heavenly THUNDER strike you to ashes

wow,you are right, we have dis people too, May God punish dem...

1) The Olori Ebi: He is referred to as the family head,they are valuable asset to the family and mostly respected by the families. Family matters and disputes are usually brought to him for settlement. Sometimes, family head in some families might just be a figure head due to sickness which has made him in-active or due to his 'ebinla' (food monger) way of life which has made him lost his autority in the family. In an ideal family, the olori ebi has the final say.

2)The Mr Money: He is the richest person in the family. Whatever decisions might have been made by the families will be put on hold for his arrival. No matter how good an idea is in the family, mr money's idea is always strictly adhere to. The family run to him for assistance on any family issues. He is sometimes seen as a stingy person whenever he refuses to give them the desired amount needed forgetting he has a family to take care of as well.

3) The Village Visitor: There is always one person from the family that stays in the village, he comes to the city to greet his relatives and tell them the new development at the village. He or she comes with garri,red oil ,fruits and other items that are cheaper,fresher from the village.

4)The Stubborn Goat: These people in the family behaves in a soldier-like attitude, they hardly listen to anyone's advice. They are not always rich but have got principle, you cannot manipulate them. Whenever you ask them for help, they can't offer instead, they offer you big big grammar like Hon patrick's own and at the end of the day tell you story.

5) The Family witch / wizard: These type of people are totally avoided in the family. They have a bad image in the family and are totally neglected by family member. He/ she might not really be a witch or wizard, but nobody wants to see him/her in their house, whenever he/she comes visiting,parent ask their children to stay away from him and whenever any family member attempts to go home(village),they try as much as possible for him or her not to know about their movement and arrival.

6) The Family Parrot: These people are also referred to as gbeborun,gbefila, or whatever you deem fit to call them. They can talk for africa, they will tell Family A what is going on in Family B, these people sometimes causes rift between a peaceful family. When they tell u a secret about Mr A family, they will tell Mr A about yours too. No matter how urgent a discussion might be, people keep it on hold when they see the family parrot.

7)The Poor Dude: This is an unavoidable situation. No matter how well rich a family is, there is always that begger or not so rich dude in the family. He needs the family help,sometimes the family contribute a certain amount for him/her to set him/her up but this person seems destined not to have a good luck. (Nobody wanna be this person)

The wicked / good Grandma: I don't really wanna say much about this, but some daughter in-law goes through hell with their mother in-law. She sees fault in everything she does and turns herself to a rival,she comes visiting often or sometimes live with her son(who can blame her not to live in her son's house) whenever she's around ,her grandchildren hates been around her while we have a good grandma who always want the best for their daughter in-law,she is loved my all including the grandkids.

Tech giant, Google has finally responded and explained why Linda Ikeji’s Blog was shut down on Wednesday.

Linda Ikeji Blog has been hit by multiple allegations of plagiarism with critics allegedly prodding Google to suspend the blog, the latest of which began few days ago when one Mr. Aye Dee, Editor-in-Chief of United States-based 15Past8 media group, reported Linda Ikeji to Google, accusing her of copyright infringement.

Google initially responded to his request by taking down the posts he alleged Linda Ikeji Infringed upon, but when it seem Linda Ikeji remained adamant and continued to plagiarized his work, he prodded Google more leading to the final suspension of the site.

“Google just notified us that they are removing our copyrighted content from Linda Ikeji’s website. All the stories and images Linda Ikeji took from me without permission in the last few days have been removed from her site by Google. Someone has to say something. It costs money to get good work done. I spend time getting information from my sources, as well as analysing and verifying the information. All that costs money. I don’t mind donating my time for Nigeria’s sake, but for someone to take my labour and use it for personal profit, no way!”  Aye Dee had tweeted.

In defence of its action, Google’s Manager for Communications and Public Affairs, Anglo-Phone West Africa, Taiwo Kolade-Ogunlade explained why they had to suspend Linda Ikeji’s blog:

He said Google takes the issue of copyright seriously, adding that the company belongs to a group of Internet firms that abides by the provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and other applicable copyright laws.

“To respect the rights of copyright holders, Google clearly spells out how users of its products and services can get permission to use someone else’s intellectual property such as text, songs, images and footages. Google is no respecter of anybody when it came to the issues of copyright infringement, copyright is a big deal.

“Google as an organisation takes issues of copyright seriously and belongs to a group of digital companies that respect copyrights.

“Copyright is a big deal and this is why you can’t just go and pick up another person’s intellectual property or content and lay claim to its ownership.

“That is why we have copyright guidance. I don’t know if Linda picked up any content and I don’t know what content is the bone of contention-neither have I looked into the complaints personally.

“But it is not a case of witch-hunting and has nothing to do with Linda Ikeji’s personality or anyone else because there is a process, and irrespective of who you are in the world, that process would apply to you.

“It has become imperative for online entrepreneurs to respect the rights of copyright holders noting that the Internet community should be built on mutual trust and general respect.

“Let’s respect other people’s rights and intellectual property. Making money off other people’s content without permission is wrong. Although the Internet is inanimate, it is the content on it that gives it life. These are the issues.

“Whenever owners of online contents Making money off other people’s content without permission is wrong. Although the Internet is inanimate, it is the content on it that gives it life. These are the issues.

“Whenever owners of online contents come after you accusing you of using their content, it is because they have families to feed and businesses to sustain.

“People should also understand that copyrights does not only apply to text, but also extends to literary works, images and photographs, music files and MP3s, movies, movie trailers and videos as well as software,” Kolade-Ogunlade explained to Punch.

Wakins:
D guy or lady who neva drop the duplicate slip

Naso,,,,, u r on point

1) The MAT customer: He comes to the bank with mat/bed/pillow for everyone to sleep on(delaying us for more than 45mins)with huge amount of money he has brought in for deposits and u start blaming urself, God why did I queue behind dis man? he makes people with lesser amount of money like 3k depositors or withdrawals start asking God why do bad things happen to good people.they start begging him bros abeg na 3k I wan pay ,let dem attend to me.

2) The Pen Borrowers: They are always in the bank,common pen dey won't have. This people are very dangerous, once u borrow them the pen, u might find it difficult to identify them, At a bank in #Nigeria,once someone tells u "can I have ur pen" Believe me, that is the last time u will see that Pen.

3)The I Dey Your Back Team: Immediately they enter the bank, even before taking d slips(withdrawal or deposit) all they do is to know the last person and u hear them saying,i am @ ur back. if care is not taking 8people can tell u "I dey ur back",then at the end of the day,they cause confusion (na me dey hin back , I don't tell am, I was here before u blah blah)

To write common 3780 naira in words na gobe. Even the so called undergraduates are found wanting in this scenario.

7) The exile men: These people usually behave like dem no dey this world since 2 years,they will always be asking for today's date,even after telling them the correct date, they will ask someone else again. I tire for these people

Fellow nairalander,I don try............keep it rolling.

For the insults u hv all given me on this post, I owe no one apology and nobody owe me any apology.... What happens in nairaland,should stay in Nairaland. Bottom line: I am a product of a public university,lagos state university....I only wrote this article to counter a thread and give the private institution students a say.....

donodion:
you miss out one thing...what about those who.demand what yyou and should not say a out their tribe,religion or country? dat one nko?

lol,I think we should respect people's culture nd beliefs but u owe dem no apology 4 not seeing things dere way.

SeverusSnape:
OP, what you said is good, but there are instances Where one should apologize; like your number 2 point. Why should someone insult another person and not apologize

yea I agree with u bro but let us imagine a nairaland dat involves no war of words or insults,it won't really be interesting...celebrities have suffered lot of attacks on dere social medias ,yet life goes on.... Its one of those things,everyone can't buy ur idea whenever u post,comment etc. I get pained wen insulted here but I later realize people insulting u are not after d insults u suffered,they only want to create a stir,get popular and be a nairaland local champion... That's the logic,the won't comment but they will be quoting people. Just ignore,they owe u no apology and vice-versa

DikSin:
IsOkay... na D 1st gate for yaba left

The thunder wey go fire u and dat guy is doing press up......

cocoberry:

spacebookerssssssssss,u self owe no one any apology,na ur land, use am anyhow

DikSin:
OduntanGabriel: See who get ur girl friend every time u comot go find work

funny u, abeg gimme hin address ,make we go finish am u and me

brainpower:
True talk cos most of these people commenting or abusing you are not better than you. They are just expressing their frustrations. But OP don't you think it might affect the forum itself one day? At a point people may start to see the forum as a place where anybody can register and start abusing themselves. Good anyway.

Bros, naso u are right... It is a forum, we can't have the same view on every post we are meant to argue,disagree and later agree but if anyone should abuse u unnecessary,do not respond cos one thing I hv noticed is that some people want to create attention ,just to be popular.

Oye kole make front page...

nuelzy:
xo how dis one take bend garri price??

bros ride on, u owe no one apology for ur post.

What happened in nairaland,should stay in nairaland.... No hard feelings.......

Edited.****** To know 7 types of people u meet in the bank,read this post. www.nairaland.com/1935616/7-types-people-meet-bank

1) Your Past Post: Do you have someone who always go to the archive to bring out all your previous post incase it contradicts your new article? Telling you I have been noticing your post (last year ,you said you are married,this year you are single,blah blah) forget this stalkers, you don't have to apologise for your past post here. It is your life, live it.


2) Your Abusive or insulting comments on Nairaland: No matter what u post here on nairaland,some sections of people will praise u while others will yab u.They are meant to happen,Nairaland is an interactive forum ,ur ideas cannot be generally accepted.Therefore there should be no apology for the insults you get here today,they will praise you tomorrow eg( this na d 1st time u go post sense since u don dey post here) my bros manage am.

3) Correcting grammatical errors: Corrections of grammar is one of the beauty of this forum, we have someone like "gbagaun detector" who has always been correcting many errors on this forum and some great people who are wonderful writers. They owe no one any apology,therefore don't take it personal when you are being corrected,i have been corrected many times and no matter how hurt i felt, I learnt from it.

4)BEING YOU: Are u kind of weird? Sometimes nerdy ? Are u always a clown(even in a critical post all u do is to comment with funny stuffs) If other people can't handle it,that's their problem- as long as you like yourself "kokanaye"

5)Expressing your emotions:Do u have to apologise for sharing your emotions? Expressing your emotions is a healthy behaviour and its not something u should practice concealing. You owe no one any apology for that.

6) Giving your honest opinion: let's say seun asks if we are happy with the mods performances,you should be free to say your mind and owe them no apology. Even if that is gonna make them block us for weeks,u owe nobody any apology.

Notable mentions goes to the "omo-oniles(landowners ,spacebookers),garri sellers and buyers,ftp,the thunder doing press up people etc.... Fellow nairanlanders add urs abeg,I don try

The ‘Locked Up’ singer climbed inside the airtight blow-up during a performance in Goma, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, on Sunday and rolled over the crowd, pushed along by the outstretched hands of 60,000 screaming concert-goers. This is something he has done before during performances before the Ebola outbreak but his actions has prompted breathless reports from certain media outlets.

Nigerians Are Still Missing My Late Father – Gumsu Abacha

Gumsu took to twitter to speak her mind, she wrote “All of a sudden I miss my late father. And I realise that Nigerians miss his leadership everyday when I read people’s comments on social media.

10 Things You Should Never Have to Apologize For




 

If you’re honest with yourself, then you know that not everyone in your life will support every decision you make.

People will judge you. It’s inevitable. But that doesn’t mean you have to apologize for making a decision they don’t agree with.

Bringing yourself down by apologizing for things you aren’t sorry for only takes away a part of who you are. It’s worth making a point to be honest with others. Start by not apologizing for these 10 things.

1.      Your Past

Do you have a friend or family member who always brings up the same instance over and over? And it’s something that happened 10 years ago? Do they still use it to manipulate you?

Your past is just that. It’s your past.

Everyone makes foolish mistakes. We were all dumb teenagers once. But as long as it’s not part of who you are today and you’ve forgiven yourself for your mistakes, it shouldn’t be on your list of things to apologize for.

2.      Your Sexual Preferences

Do you like girls or guys? Both? Do you enjoy having sex with multiple partners? Do you not like sex at all?

Your sexual preferences are your sexual preferences. Just like you would never apologize for liking the color green when your best friend likes the color blue, you shouldn’t have to say sorry for what you do and don’t like when it comes to sex.

Truth be told, no one else should care. It’s frankly none of their business. But unfortunately, people will care if your preferences don’t comply with mainstream ideas. As long as all of your actions are consensual, what you do in private should stay in private, but even if it does get out, you shouldn’t have to say sorry.

3.      Standing Up for What You Believe In

Have people ever made you feel guilty for standing up for your values and beliefs? Unfortunately, our parents, friends, and even strangers are good at doing that if our beliefs don’t coincide with theirs.

But instead of taking a step back and apologizing for standing up for yourself, take this as an opportunity to stand up for yourself once again.

This type of assertiveness can empower you and boost your confidence.

4.      Giving Your Honest Opinion

Let’s say your friend asks if her hair looks bad, insisting that you tell her what you honestly think. You say, yes, it does look bad. Only she gets mad and blows up in your face, saying that you’ve hurt her feelings.

Sound familiar?

Your first instinct is to probably console her, say you’re sorry, and tell her that it doesn’t look that bad. But you shouldn’t have to do that, especially when she has asked you to be honest.

Honesty has been linked to better health, says the American Psychological Association. You shouldn’t have to take back your opinions, nor should you apologize for them. It’s only in the best interest of your well-being.

5.      Expressing Your Emotions

Has anyone called you a “baby” for crying or a crazy person for expressing your joy and excitement? Then what do you do? Apologize for sharing?

The situation is all too familiar.

But expressing your emotions is a healthy behavior, and it’s not something you should practice concealing. In fact, expressing your emotions—even in just a journal—has been shown to make you happier since it helps you cope with life better.

6.      Deleting Friends on Facebook

Let’s be honest: Not all your Facebook friends are your true friends. Deleting people who harass you, are gossips, or are just plain annoying is an act for your own well-being.

Do you have to justify this action? No. Do you have to apologize for it? Definitely not.

7. Spending Time with People Who Make You Happy

Do you have friends—or perhaps parents—who hate the people you hang out with? They don’t just tease you for your choice in friends or a significant other. They actually belittle you about it.

But it’s not their choice.

Does this person make you happy? Do you enjoy being around him or her?

You should never have to apologize for doing something that makes you happy, including hanging out with someone others might not approve of.

8. Forgiving Someone

Have you ever forgiven someone only for your friends to wonder why you did so? They still wanted to kick the perpetrator’s butt while you were content with letting the situation go.

Forgiveness is another one of those things that can improve your mental well-being, so it’s not worth apologizing for forgiving someone.

9. Being YOU

Are you kind of weird? Sometimes nerdy? Perhaps a bit too opinionated?

And do you like yourself for it?

Then that’s the only justification you need to continue being who you are. If other people can’t handle it, that’s their problem. You shouldn’t say sorry for preferences or actions that define who you are as a person—as long as you know you like that person.

10. Following Your Dreams

This is sadly one thing too many people apologize for. Do you dream about writing a best-seller? What about becoming a famous dancer? Or maybe you dream simply of having kids someday.

All of these dreams take preparation, but unfortunately no matter what dream you pursue, you’ll get scrutinized by someone.

Have you heard your parents criticize your career choice? Do your friends laugh at your efforts to pursue your talents?

Not once should the words “I’m sorry” come out of your lips. Instead, you should be saying, “I’m proud of myself for following my dreams.”

What things do you apologize for when you’re not actually sorry? Share your ideas in the comment section.
