There's written and pictorial warnings on every tobacco pack, boldly telling you what you're buying is poisonous and it'll kill you. But you still go ahead buy it, should I blame the company for your own foolishness?

In graphics design term, we call it "Make it pop"

When you deliver a minimal design to a client and SHE wants you to make it "POP" 😂

Stair below was the minimal design, while the one at the top is the "make it pop"

Instead of deleting the minimal design or creating a new art board, the designer decided to duplicate and make the top "POP"... Because "Make it pop" will end up telling you to revert back to the minimal design

Was considering it base on education..but thanks my man
Sorry if I sounded hash earlier.

Screen is a no no for kids, it's discourage by children's doctors. I got mine at 5, still her doctor was against it, I had to dash it and get her pictorial story books and games.

Your thoughts are from a good place, but it'll do more damage to their attention than good.

At this stage, they don't need education, they need to be kids. Play, eat, sleep.

I enrolled mine into school at 4, despite fights from the mom from year 2 to enrolled her. (I always asked her "bae where are we running to? I started mine at 7 years old, am I not done with school now? 😂)

As a graphics designer, I designed different educational characters and print them out as cards and mini banners, we play with it together and learn.

She's topping in her class from first session and the mom that was fighting me ends up thanking me 😂.

The bike is a great idea
Family › Re: Cohabitation Is Not Marriage: A Legal Reality Check by Offpoint1: 3:30pm On May 28, 2025
Samantha125:
This is the reason why my family is against the idea of cohabitation... None of us have ever lived with our husbands before marriage.

Even when my husband asked for my father's permission to move with me to Durban after paying the bride price, my father agreed under the condition that we live separately until we're married... We had to look for an apartment close to where my husband was based and my father was the one who took the financial responsibility of paying for the monthly rent and everything.
Paid your bride price and still not your husband?

Being enslaved to man made law or societal law is the worse thing to happen to one
Family › Re: Cohabitation Is Not Marriage: A Legal Reality Check by Offpoint1: 3:26pm On May 28, 2025
LawWithEbele:
After cohabiting with a woman for 30 years, a man assumed that their decades of living together and raising children, despite never paying bride price, automatically amounted to a customary marriage.

So, when he decided it was time to move on, he accused the woman of denying him sex and asked the court to dissolve the “marriage.” But the court was quick to point out that there was no customary marriage to dissolve.

Cohabitation, no matter how long, without more, does not amount to marriage.

That was the end of the road for both parties—to your tent, O Israel.

Sadly, many women are in the same situation. They move in with men, have children, run homes, and live as wives—without any formal marriage ceremony, bride price, or legal recognition. It may feel like marriage, it may look like marriage, but legally, it is not marriage.

Imagine doing everything a wife does—cooking, cleaning, childbearing—without enjoying any of the legal protections or privileges of a lawful spouse. That’s the harsh reality that awaits anyone on that path.

Ladies, let’s do better.

I am Aroh-Nwoka Ebelechukwu, your family and property lawyer.

#arohnwokaebelechukwu #ebelechukwulawfirm #FamilyLawyerNearMe #familylawyer #Cohabitation #NigerianLaw

Question for the house: Do you think our laws should recognize long-term cohabitation as marriage, especially where children are involved?
Some of y'all can't think out of the societal box or made rules.

Who introduced bride? Who introduced "legal marriage"?

Natural marriage is consent. Once two opposite sex consented to leave together and raise a family, that's marriage... Every other thing is man made.

I don't need no pastor, Iman or court to be the one to decide if I'm married or not.

One she consented and her family approves... Fxxxxk man made laws
Family › Re: Old Age by Offpoint1: 3:11pm On May 28, 2025
missidy:
Old age comes with a lot of problems and living with old people is really difficult. Dementia, Alzheimer disease, all kinds of sickness, slowness. Old people are also very troublesome especially to their caregivers. I'm currently dealing with one and it's not easy at all. That's why I wonder how all these Nigerians that are doing care giver work in UK cope? Living with an old person is like having a child. The difference is children grow up and become independent meanwhile, old people get older and become more dependent so you are never free. Old age plus sickness is the worst.
The troublesome own is the worse part of it... Only children or grandchildren can take care of their old ones because they're used to them... Anything external caregiver, na headache

People will wake up and chunk whatever they feel in their head is the right guide to marriage.

As a realist I've always said; When it comes to humans, there's no guide to marriage or relationship.
Humans are extremely complex creature, unpredictable in nature. What you presumed is the right guide, might turn to be the worse...

Even God can't guarantee you a "successful marriage", the first marriage was conducted by God and God himself gave the woman to man... We all know who was responsible for the man fall.

This is how Igbo and Yoruba girls dressed in the olden days, yet no man had any issues with it.

Indecent dressing is not in our culture, same with LGBTQRSTUVWX.
Enlighten me on what indecent dressing is... Before modernization were we not Naked?

Even as of today, there are some locals who don't wear clothes, females only cover their genitals and same with males.

If you see an "indecent dressing", purge your corrupt minds. We've been Naked for thousands of years before modernization and our society was saner.

The issue is that body cams are expensive for most to buy. Some don't even know how to operate it. If it was mandatory on the other hand, it would definitely help in preventing such unethical behaviors.

But that won't stop bribery and corruption In police,
Lol 😂 Nigeria police being suspended because of bribe? 😂 grin grin Their Ogas at the top are aware and they submit percentage to them.

They'll only be suspended on camera, go home to relax for a month and return to work on transfer.

The only crime Nigeria police can truly be suspended on his murderer or caught in robbery.

I'm telling as a police son who has spent half of my life in barracks.

They ll suspend you on media with camera, then oga send you home to go rest for a month or 3. Months if you're not in oga sweet book.

Even those that killed innocent people, some can be call back after a year or 2, if they have connections. Your case will be fought as "An accidental discharged"

If they were truly being suspended you think police would still risk taking bribes knowing camera is everywhere in this era?

Red flag 1: Dude barely let her open the shop before he entered. A normal human would have waited until the girl was done opening and invited him in.

Red flag 2: Immediately after he rushed in, he went straight to start touching/picking. A normal human would have scanned through before he started touching/picking.

The sales girl is unwise; you didn't confirm customer claims before releasing goods.

no be any AI anything. The site be like site wey dey use AI as moderator.

They just have a bunch of words blacklisted so once you post or comment, the database cross references your writeup with those words and if any is a match, bam you get banned.

Reason why the ban is almost instantaneous once you comment is because it matches your writeup with the blacklisted words at the time of submitting your post.
I thought he upgraded from the old fashion of blacklist database and use modern AI agent.

It's frustrating being ban for words instead of context.

Can't comment on Nairaland without Nairaland bot slamming me an hour ban.

Sěun you need to change whatever AI agent you're using for moderation. Banning users based on "word" instead of sentence is terrible.

NwaAmaikpe:
shocked



We all know the group of Nigerians who would rather break a ladder after climbing up with it than see another Nigerian use the same ladder.

They go to Rome and try to teach the Pope how to break bread and serve communion.

They want to be seen by the Westerners as the defenders of civilization and the gatekeepers of immigration. No one should have a passport because they've secured theirs.

Nigerians abroad are a thriving community that build eachother brick by brick, sadly these set of Nigerians would rather use their bricks to stone those beneath them, than use it to build them.

Through the testimony of one, dependants were curtailed from travelling overseas, through the complaint of another, period of stay to gain permanent residence is now to be doubled.

They sabotage colleagues at work, serve as spies and render unsolicited negative feedbacks about their own kith and kin to managers....for no reason.
It's in them.

Any and everyone who lives anywhere overseas, would confirm that it is only one set of Nigerians that behave this way.
The unaccomodating landowners.
You this man!.... Each time you go on break, you either come back cool headed or come back HIGH. This time you come back cool headed.
