Olam09: Good afternoon everyone.. there has been a dead body of a woman caked with dirt lying beside a road on our street what number do i call so they can come pick the body up before it becomes a disaster? Please kindly post the right number here thanks.
Here is the location
118 Olusegun Oshoba Road, after white house b/stop. Lagos state.
Good morning fam, After my resignation on 24-09-2022 which I posted here. Some faulted me for not taking my salary and leave without notice
Yea I felt bad but I served in a very vital department that I had alot of their properties in my care. And the firm is known for taking up cases like this up and declaring you "missing" with your pictures all over their branches.
This can tarnish one's image or even cause my new employer to dismiss me , so I had to do all neccessary documentation
After my resignation The HR asked me to send my IDs, handbooks and other documents to the HQ in the East instead of the one here in Lagos where i stay
I sent it accross to them , after some weeks when I called to know if they recieved it She told me that they got only the handbook and nothing else (I sealed all these together) I stood my ground and was ready to travel for this After two weeks, she admitted that they have seen every of the documents
My new job took my time because I have been on training I never called to ask of my salary, when I in Dec, she assured me that they are working on it
On Monday this week, I was ready to meet the MD because of this issue I called the lady again, she was ranting that i should allow them to work on my benefits and all that , I raised my voice too and told her that I only worked with them for 6 months , i really wonder what benefits she is calculating and I am ready to meet the MD because of this and that she should have it on mind that I am not forfeiting this salary for ANYTHING.
She dropped the call, later the secretary called me to assure me that they are working on it
Yesterday my pension account was credited I have to wait for my salary at the end of this month I will be patient till March , because she once told me that it is after 6 months I should be worried not "disturbing" her everyday
segtech68: I'm in a very serious relationship which will likely lead to marriage before the middle of this year. she's a good lady, very decent, God fearing and has a good Job. We both love each other so there's no point waiting than to marry her. We've talked about it and she loves the idea. Also , i've met her family and her parent treated me kindly.
The issue is, we are both planning to relocate after marriage to any of the western countries, we are both credible financially and i'm very sure we won't get denied but the stories i've heard about women changing after getting abroad makes me want to think twice about the court marriage. I would love to do every other marital right except court marriage.
How do i tell her politely without losing her? please i'll appreciate your advise.
Thank you.
It won't make a difference when you travel abroad. She I u will declare Ur marriage before travelling?
Bayonet40: Good evening nairalanders. Why do Nigerians believe that you must have to cut your baby's hair (especially male babies) immediately they reach 1 year? Is there any theory here? People have been suggesting that I cut my boy's hair when he reaches 1 year which is some days from now, he has much hair which I plan to maintain and keep in a good shape.
It's up to you. Maintenance can become a headache later. It it's your headache.
In a nutshell what he is saying is that with money he can oppress.
Gerrard59: While discussing with some buddies yesterday, we touched on the topic “moving back to Nigeria”. I argued that Nigeria is not safe. Sure, there are places that are pretty “safe”. However, my notion of safety is when other people elsewhere can go about their normal activities without fear. For instance, I don’t consider a place safe if one part of the area keeps suffering repeated attacks from Fulani herdsmen (like Southern Kaduna and Plateau). I don’t have to be the affected party, but others who go about their normal activities should feel safe doing them. The other guy countered that, with money, one could enjoy Nigeria. “Live in Maitama, run Lister generator and live quietly.” Also, you get to be in a place where almost everyone looks like you.
Upon hearing “…with money, one can enjoy Nigeria”, I asked him to list five things/ways one can enjoy Nigeria as long as the person has money. Surprisingly, he could not mention one thing/way. I thought it wise to throw it to the house, especially for those who are anti-Japa or those who have stayed abroad for a long time and currently reside in Nigeria.
As someone with money, what exactly does the person enjoy in Nigeria? What are the differences compared to his/her counterpart in say, Namibia or Canada/UK that also has money? How do you enjoy Nigeria provided the money is available?
P.S. I understand that the notion of “enjoyment” is largely subjective. Some enjoy going to parties, while others enjoy travelling around or even reading a book while in a park. But I believe there are some universal notions of enjoyment.
Marriage is an eye opener and because in marriage the couple are in each others faces full time faults begin to seem amplified and see finish enters. Marriage is not for the immature or the intolerant. It is a true test of character
We are having this kind of attack second time this month and the pattern of the attack is exactly the same.
Due to farm invasion of our livestocks, we only allow them to graze at night and leave them till daybreak while we let them into their cage.
The first victim of this wild attack was Huda ram, he was sick and want missing, after about the third day, we found him with his head ripped off from the neck, likewise the second goat, brought in for mating about 12 days ago, felt sick, recovering, went to graze and the second day we met him this way.
We are currently working on installing perimeter net for the first part of the land we intend to use for livestock, that's about 3 acres, it separates the farm from the remaining land meant for crop plantation.
Which animal do you think is on the prowl? Kindly suggest how to capture or kill this animal.

DefKon: I don't even know the name i saw it i liked it, please Nlanders how do i plant this tree is it the stem or it has fruit
Buy from a horticulturist.
If you wanna try DIY then cut a thin stem with some leaves, nothing large, max 15cm long stick the end in a cut piece of aloe Vera leaf, then plant it with the aloe Vera cutting in a small pot or pure water nylon or cut to size bottle water. Then cover everything in a transparent plastic bag.
Leave for a couple of weeks and only open to water once in a while.
I've been having this sudden increase in heart rate since morning and I don't seem to understand what's wrong. Is it a common problem or should I be worried?
i get how you feel cos this time it was a man that approached you.
however the problem is not just with Men, the problem is with people generally. there is a thread from today (17th August 2022), where a guy was complaining about how his wife was having sex with her ex, from their courting days even till when she was preganant with their child. the problem is a people problem and its not gender exclusive.
People just dey mad these days, or maybe social media just brings these stories to the public space easily. chances are people had always been mad
Islandlady: Yes, men will always be men irrespective of his race, religion and tribe, their flirtious, cheating and polygamous nature must reflect!
So, this past month, I took a first time trip to Badagry to relax n explore and I lodged in a resort! During my tour around I met this newly wedded Ivorian couples from Abijan who came to Badagry for their honeymoon, the wife was soo friendly, beautiful and nice toh...so we all tour around together with some other wonderful tourists too!
A day to the last days of my tour, we all chill in a bar to gist and to bid them farewell and then I went back to arrange my stuffs against the next day travel...but the most annoying moment was when this newly wedded Ivorian guy ran after me to ask for my number and also started telling me how he has fallen in love with me(lol) and will want us to have a sexy relationship since he always visits Nigeria!
I blantly turned down his proposal and left, I was so angry and pissed that why will a man on his honeymoon be asking another lady out!... Then I understand that cheating n flirting are natural features of Men!!!
To my fellow women, it's okay to trust your hubby and boyfriends to some extent but just prepare for the unexpected from them, so your heartbreak will not be much!
Sounds like your marriage is already over but you are yet to accept the fact.
Soulflai: I shouldn't have brought this here but the emotional bargage is too heavy for me to move on in. My marriage of 2 years is about to crumble.
I met my wife in Kaduna Southern part in 2017. Our relationship had been a long distance one as I base in Lagos while she also work in Kaduna, but we eventually married in 2020. The bone of contention is the issue of her ex. That point we are dating, I always caution her to cut communication with the guy, she will do it by deleting the number, but later I will find out they're still relating.
Last month, I purchased a new phone and I had to give her my own. So on the process of reinstalling Whatsapp on her phone, I retrieved all the backup Whatsapp messages 7 which left me devastated. The chat history with her ex really left me broken.
On multiple occasions after I paid her dowry, she met with the guy and they had sex. Multiple times pals! Even after marriage, when she is 5 months pregnant, the guy still had her with my baby inside her!
I am really broken pals, I confronted her on this, she started crying that she will cut communication with him. The guy even send some money to her account on difference time this year.
This is the height of emotional damage. I am just leaving each day just to find my leg financially. I am trying my best, but it is not enough.
Lastly, I called the so-called ex on phone to cut communication with her, the guy is in Kaduna I think while we are in Lagos. She also blocked him all avenues likewise. My decision now is that any time I discovered any form of communication between her and the guy, it is over with the marriage. I think she is not really in to me like that, which beg the question while she married me in first instance.
If am your brother, what advice would you recommend? I only choose to be lenient because the kids are just too small to have their parents separated early. If not, I would have sent her parking!.
GreatAxeMan: What he forgot to add is that the Penal Code only applies to Northern Nigeria and it is very Shari'a centric.
The relevant statute for Southern Nigeria is the Criminal Code.
The Penal Code allows husbands to beat their wives as a form of correction in the same way that a father beats his children or a teacher disciplines a pupil.
Section 55(1)(d) of the Penal Code of Northern Nigeria provides that an assault by a man on a woman is not an offense if they are married, if native law or custom recognizes such “correction” as lawful and if there is no grievous hurt.
