Literature / Re: 12 Novels Considered The “Greatest Books Ever Written” by ONNYX: 7:58pm On Oct 27, 2023 |
Zeus123: At the bolded.....I can tell you there is nothing funny about Achebe in global literary circles. The man is an iconoclast who keeps rising like a phoenix even after his death. I have been to a few literary events and I can tell you that the very mention of Achebe always lightens the room. By the way, perhaps Google will help you appreciate Achebe and his exploits better. Why not try finding out how many languages his work has been translated into. That should give you a general idea. Pls I am not Igbo. Just a Nigerian who appreciates accomplishments. 3 Likes |

Babysho: You have done well for yourself. But I bet you don't belong to this generation who do not understand the mystery that lies in words. That you grew up in Nigeria and you read the books above shows that you are more than an average reader. |

tugbala11: This post exudes balance. Kudos Sir. You captured this very well. With the soaring costs in transportation you actually get better value when you live as close as possible to where you work. There is no science in the matter. The only problem we have now is that people don't do any analysis anymore. All they ask is " what is the offer?" |
Politics / Re: Kanayo O. Kanayo Blasts Reno Omokri For Mocking Peter Obi Over Mr Ibru by ONNYX: 8:24am On Oct 20, 2023 |
valentineuwakwe: Sometimes I really wonder how low one man can sink. Despite all his education and exposure this man keeps hitting unprecedented lows. Peter Obi, Atiku and Tinubu do not owe Mr. Ibu in this matter. Neither does Dangote, Otedola or Maduka. It's a humanitarian cause and has to be done voluntarily. What Reno is resorting to is very cheap blackmail. This is even enough reason for Peter Obi to refrain from helping in this particular case. I hate to think that a fully grown human being can play this kind of stupid game even I. The face of this calamity. 2 Likes |

Truths9ja: Always stick to the contract as agreed and initio. If there is a need to modify then create a platform for renegotiation. It's not about tribe or race bro. Humans get tired but it should not be at the expense of others. Argue as much as you like but I tell you that we have a terrible work ethic especially in Nigeria. I won't be surprised if the sleeping guy just arrived UK or perhaps one of the Cavalier ones we have around there. That's a serious environment. There are consequences for actions and inactions. 9 Likes 1 Share |

I had cause to revisit this thread today and was hoping that one or two people may have benefitted from this write-up. Things have changed considerably. The Bread Seller is now king while the baker has become his slave. Good luck to all of you in the bread hustle. |

auxanosolar: Those prices are very high. Most people on this thread are deal hunters.....and understandably so. Perhaps you should have considered creating a separate thread for these items. But the word clearance here means you must be willing to seel your items at flea market prices. That's how it is. 8 Likes |

[quote author=Litblogger post=126323340][/quote] I've made you an offer for the shoe rack and shelf previously.......over a month ago. Perhaps your items are worth your asking price but many offers made will be done with consideration for transportation to point of destination. I can take the shoe rack off you for 20k tomorrow if this suits you. Otherwise, best wishes as you seek better offers.. 1 Like |

OkayDaddy: You could also start by creating some negative publicity for them. 1. Send them a formal request for a refund stating the facts of the matter. This should be on a header paper. Let them know that you will give that letter as much publicity as you can if within 48 hours they don't refund the entire amount inclusive of the delivery charges. 2. Then keep this page afresh revealing their name and their phone numbers. It will even be better if you can also put up the pictures of the company, and perhaps the Facebook/other social media handles of the company and its operatives. 3. Put up their phone numbers here, official and personal and encourage all Nairalanders to call them. I assure you that this will go a long way. |

Celebrities / Re: Mohbad: Mary Njoku Knocks Those Asking Singer’s Wife To Submit Son For DNA Test, by ONNYX: 9:36am On Sep 23, 2023 |
Youngkaro45: If my brother enters a contract without me in the picture at the very beginning and then issues arise we can only salvage the situation to the best of our ability. Note that the spirit of the agreement lies in the enabling clauses. At this level a lawyer should have been involved. But if the milk is spilt already then we have to look for ways of amicably settling the matter. Now, were there threats from the label owner? If yes, did they report to the police? Did they raise an alarm formally? Was there a press conference? What about an media briefing or TV interview? Many options exist for resolving this matter without further animosity. Finally, when entering into an agreement think it through, get inputs from more knowledgeable people before putting pen to paper. |
Celebrities / Re: Mohbad: Mary Njoku Knocks Those Asking Singer’s Wife To Submit Son For DNA Test, by ONNYX: 6:53pm On Sep 22, 2023 |
Youngkaro45: Again, I don't have the details. I didn't even hear of Mobad before his death. I am only saying that in the event an agreement is no longer tenable, it should be amicably renegotiated with both parties showing consideration for the prevailing or extant circumstances. You see I always advocate that there are are three sides to a story; the one side, the other side and the truth. It will be interesting to hear from the suspects. But this is not the best time to hear from the others. Clearly, they are already guilty in the court of Public Opinion. Finally, I would like to let you know that in the majority of cases like this there are usually some powerful people behind the scenes who can use this to make some other person(s) look bad. The public is easily swayed in times like this and all forms of objectivity takes flight. |

Youngkaro45: The bolded is terrible. Totally in bad taste. I really don't know the details but if there was an agreement then both parties should have honoured it to the letter or better still renegotiated the deal. But saying that one can trounce an agreement because there are precedents is in bad taste. 1 Like |

Onyeka90210: Quite on the contrary, It's not the dealers that are messing things up. The buyers are the culprits here. And if you want to look at it objectively there is no greed here. Pricing is a function of value driven by perception. Nothing is really expensive in the final analysis, you can either pay the price based on your perception of the value it will bring for you or you ignore. The attention that Corolla has gleaned I've the years is enough to make it this expensive. 2 Likes |

GAZZUZZ: I've been patiently waiting for your intervention/input regarding the uncertainties shrouding MsBae at the moment. I am sure a post from you will either assuage all or point them to the next line of action. I am wont to think and perhaps rightly so that if there is anyone who has any objective information regarding this quagmire then the person is you. Kindly update and put this thing to rest finally. 1 Like |
