Beebah2000:
Why do people still cheat on people they truly love??

y3mi:
Correct

True


Exactly....what I am asking....It is the novelty of a would-be method invented on and by technology to aid and solve an issue within transactioning in a type of financial world, majority of which are now technologized and best referred to as 'fintech'.

I understand there are characteristics by which an idea/invention can be qualified for patenting, nevertheless, you can't expect me or anyone to disclose the nature, or key concept of the idea here just so you can get the full picture and therefore respond advisedly, I have therefore came up with the following analogy.

There is noodles (right ?) We have different noodle makers such as Indomie, ChickiChiki, Mimee, Minemee, Honeywell etc
So you have an idea on how noodles can be cooked without using water and still would be served cooked and taste better, you went ahead and create it but yet to launch it, the possibility that once you launch it to the consuming public, other makers of noodles may in turn start mimicking the formula by which the idea behind your product is patronized, the question is....can the formula behind the idea be patented prior to been launched into the public ? You may substitute the word "formula" with 'method/business-method.

Agreed but not if my method of doing business was not only the first on the scene, but has become the intellectual property ascribed to a company with a name that is eponymous to the very concept behind the fin-tech method of conduction such business. For instance the word "google" has become an house-hold name that implies to look up something, and the name is eponymous to the company name itself (before it became Alphabet Inc). There were previously other search engines portals before Google came up such as Lycos and Yahoo! and Binge!, but Google came up with a search engine algorithm with an algorithm that's so unique and efficient thereby setting it apart from others, and they filed for a patent to which it was granted. Now, because it is USA, where law is law, Yahoo, AskJeeves, Lycos, Binge and all others would never ever copy or make use of Google indexing search formula, whether be it a trade-secret or open-secret any programmer can do, because that patent law protects them. It is in the same vein, I am asking, but here in Nigeria...where I used the noodle analogy above. Would the patent law be able to deter others from copying, mimicking or cleverly cloning my technologized method of conducting, not just a business transaction, but a type within the fin-tech world of commerce and trade.

Ok I never wanted to share this with anyone else ( my Best friend and neighbor knows) till I decide on what to do with her but an earlier thread on nairaland today about this same paternity issue that I read ( Papa ijeoma) is making me pen this down and due to the insensitive nature of the issue I had to create a new account because she is also in nairaland like me

Me and my lady ( we aren't married but engaged) never hide anything from one another, she knows the password to my phone's and I likewise her's but we never picked each other's call or read a text that isn't meant for the person that owns the phone

But everything changed 7 weeks ago when a text came through to her phone from a number she saved with a different name but in that text the person Said " you can't give my son to that small boy, he is my son and when I get back home I would come collect him"

She was taking her bath and her phone rang repeatedly and almost immediately when the last call stopped then a text came in, and because I was close to it something told me hey man take the phone to meet her maybe it's her work place calling her and as I picked up the phone i unlocked it and just was innocently playing with the phone and walking to the bathroom when I opened the text and when I read it I was broken, so so broken. I opened her WhatsApp for the first time in almost 3 year's of been together and I read the message her and her " man friend" have been sharing, mhen what do ladies want? Why do you have to cheat on a man that loves you? Where is the sacred pure love our parents shared

I won't advice anyone to check their partners phone but at times it could save you

Immediately I read that text I lost my head but I didn't tell her or confront her with it, I was hating my son ( yes he is mine), wasn't eaten at home, but that wasn't who I'm, I'm better than that

Gosh I loved that girl, still love her, I deflowered her, I just couldn't wrap my heads round it for the first 3 or 5 day's, she knew something was off but I just couldn't tell her, I couldn't carry my son and then I told my older neighbor and he advised me, prayed with me and told me to be calm

He suggested we did a DNA test and I checked through nairaland and got a center and when I heard the price gosh ( 110k) I said I wasn't gonna do it and he asked me how much I had and I said like 190k and he said isn't it better to know the paternity of your son with 110k than train him with far more?

I went for the DNA test and God that 23 days I had to wait was the longest of my life and when the results came out and I was texted by the center in Allen Avenue God lol my heart was pounding, I told my best friend everything and he wanted to go throw her out of the house but I told him all I needed was his support in the center Incase I collapse lol

And when I was given the envelope my god my hands were shaking, I was sweating under an air conditioner my friend took the results and opened it and smiled and yelled and said he is yours bro and I took the results and thank God he was my son, gosh I cried hahahahaha, I was crying like mad

While me And my friend was going home he was asking me what I wanted to do with my lady and I said I don't know and 2 weeks after I still don't know I swear

I love her, oh my God I still love her but I feel so much anger and bitterness in my heart towards her and now I direct all my love to my son

We haven't made love in 6 weeks and she is complaining and crying, called my Mom to report me and my Mom is asking why I just told her I don't feel like it

I can't throw her out because her parents are late but I keep on asking my self what happened, where did I go wrong that would make her cheat on me till her " Man friend" thinks she has a son for him, I try for this girl I swear do, yes we aren't rich but come on, she uses an iPhone while I still use an Android, I make sure she doesn't lack anything her single friends has, yes we are young, she is 25 while I'm 28 but I try for her and treat her like a wife because we share a child

What do women really want, I know why the comedian Nedu couldn't tell anyone about his wife given him another man's kid it's because of the shame involve, no one knows about this than my neighbor and my friend and of course you now reading it, I would keep her and see if the next 6 months I can feel what I felt for her just a few months back which was real and genuine love and if I can't feel that way I would Respectfully tell her everything and no one else would know as I would keep her shame because she is a good girl, I know she is but I just couldn't imagine why she did what she did

Ladies please be like our parents so you don't give your husband a child that isn't his and that's the DNA results

Goodnight

Jess even me this matter over me, papa ijeoma won run mad. I they even pity am.

I go just give una the story how my client give me..

My name is papa ijeoma, I have three kids. A daughter and two son, the girl is the first. I Am just a road side mechanic managing life with my family though am normally busy so I do come back in the night.

For twelve years of marriage I have never had issue with my wife nor-suspected any mistrust or cheat. We have live very happy not until on Tuesday(2days back) when I came back from work very early and it was because she is hosting their women wing ex-co meeting in the house that day.

So when I came back she was in the kitchen as God would have it her fone was on the center table in parlour, the phone rang, it was on silence(but on vibration) so I was on call with one of my boys in the shop could not tell her to come and pick her call.

As soon as I drop my call I say to myself (this children have put their mother phone on silent again) not knowing she was the one that put it. I pick the phone to remove it from silent, I saw the miss call emma(I trust the wife wai I get for house die, so I no send) not up to 5second a message enter from this same emma via sms(you know android phone na them go pop up the sms untop for your screen).

I saw 'my world' sharply I open the sms and it was (my world you have been avoiding me why!! Have miss you lying beside me on my bed) immediately my eyes started turning me, my head began to hot like fire.

Sharply I enter watsap of which have never done before(though in my house we don't put security lock on phone my rules) I saw that same Emma again on WhatsApp message, I screw up-up and began to see message like hope you are taking care of my child Emma, because that is the name of my suppose last child.

So she name him after her ex-guy. I ran to her in the kitchen to confront her immediately she just knelt down and started crying uncontrollable and confessing that the last child is for her ex who came back from outside the country few years ago and started disturbing her. Have called her parent and my parent they say they we be coming by weekend.

She use advantage of me because she knew am a very quite person in nature.

Right now I just feel like dying don't know if I should divorce her quietly or forgive her, but she is claiming to be really sorry. (but Las-Las I love this woman die just don't know why she betray me like this).

I and my wife met through her senior sister who happens to be my friend and also my toaster.

I ended up falling in love with my wife through her sister who claims we can't date because we're of age bracket.

We courts for 6 years before getting married to her and blessed with a beautiful daughter.

Lately I don't find her attractive to me anymore. She's the one begging for sex before I consider her once or twice in a month.
Please nairalanders, I need advice what could cause it and what should I do because I don't want to loose my marriage.

This new wave of covid has made a lot of people rush to health center to take covid vaccines but now, the death toll has increased,, some people I have seen that took this new vaccine have died, some are trying to make claims that it could be the vaccine, as at yesterday mortuaries in Benin city were all filled up they are not even accepting new corpse, so we don’t know what is now killing people is it the covid or the vaccine

y3mi:
Ofcourse I am aware of all that.

Why wouldn't you guys understand that in all my inquiry to which I'm seeking your good advise on, the idea, as I expect you ought to assume, is ofcourse, within the ambit of after having executed, launched and set into operation, and NOT about embarking on a journey of seeking to patent what hasn't been created. And so I ask again below....


In reference to the statement of the above attached screenshot....would after launching and executing a particular way of conducting business (and by virtue of its novelty of haven't been done before), would I stand to be protected if a patent is granted, would the patent deter any parties from copying, mimicking, emulating and using my same idea of how the business (transaction, operation) is conducted.

siofra:
So I was purposely being rude and mean to one guy yesterday and he said I was being a feminist, I don't understand.

Since when did feminism=rudeness.
Or boys are too dumb to know the difference between a feminist and a rude person?

y3mi:
Understood.

But still, the summary of all I'm trying to get at with my inquest on this thread is summarized in the two attached screenshot below. I will like to know if the principle highlighted in the attached images also apply within the Nigeria patent laws, hence qualifying my company to file for a patent, in order to deter any from stealing my fintech idea by way of mimicking, emulating, direct copying, clever imitation whatsoever.

I'm surprised to know that the law takes part in dissolve of church marriages.

If there are no court wedding, then what form of marriage entitles the wife for equal distribution of the man's wealth or properties.

As an informed contributor to this thread, I thank you for sharing your insight.


I get your point that IP laws don't exist to deterring poachers from infringing or mimicking what is proprietarily ascribed to an owner, or an inventor (as it would be in my regards), but given the kind of country we are, where rules and laws can be flouted and circumvented, my question is, and one predicated on taking up measure if push comes to shove, would I be empowered by these laws to file a lawsuit against any whom, in anyway, borrowed, copied, mimicked or imitates the novelty core upon which my IP property is based on functioning in the Fintech space, I wouldn't want an idea that took me almost half a decade to conceived, hone and perfected be flagrantly replicated without permission.


Take for instance, someone comes up with a Sport Betting formula that's not only innovative but a game-changer to how various sports matches are wagered online, a truly original and novel mechanism that attracts more users to it, and later on, after a year or more, many of the established old platforms began to cleverly incorporate that exact formula into theirs, and while some did it cleverly, others simply just imitates it, impressing the emerging new ones who simply just plagiarized it, now how does the original creator/inventor of this be protected from having his/her formula lifted (any ignorant may argue it's simply just coding anyone can do, if so why don't we have a multiple of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and SnapChat, ofcourse there may be similar but patent and copyright laws protect the core idea/concepts that makes them unique) In Nigeria, I have noticed that everyone tend to copy each other, and the whole bunch just keep doing the exact same thing, originally started by someone, as it can be observed not just in the Fintech space but in other field too, like in the e-Commerce industry.


Can you please provide me with any real life events involving parties where one's intellectual property (patented or copyrighted) was knowingly/unknowingly infringed upon and there was justice prevail in favor of the infringed (and not the infringer).

Thanks.

IP laws are not designed to make the registration bodies become regulatory bodies that can take positive action to protect. the responsibility lies on the owner to take the the necessary to protect his IP rights by going to court.

I get your point that IP laws don't exist to deterring poachers from infringing or mimicking what is proprietarily ascribed to an owner, or an inventor (as it would be in my regards), but given the kind of country we are, where rules and laws can be flouted and circumvented, my question is, and one predicated on taking up measure if push comes to shove, would I be empowered by these laws to file a lawsuit against any whom, in anyway, borrowed, copied, mimicked or imitates the novelty core upon which my IP property is based on functioning in the Fintech space, I wouldn't want an idea that took me almost half a decade to conceived, hone and perfected be flagrantly replicated.

Hi Idowu

Appreciate the thread

Had no idea an individual like you exist among tech people in this part.

I'm more interested in the area of safe-guarding my one of my intellectual property from being blatantly copied, stolen and or mimicked, as it involves coding a unique type of payment solution that has never before done before. A fintech novelty.

Because of this I'm learning coding myself and would like to be guided as to how one can patent it before launch. I pretty much understand that one cannot request a patent for an idea or a business idea. One can only be granted an exclusive patent right for inventing, a product or a process that provides a new way of doing something, or that which offers a new technical solution to a problem.

My issue is...in Nigeria, does our patent laws exist to genuinely protects the interest of the tech inventor.

Synord:
Good morning . Just seeing this .

The Patents and Design Act Cap P2 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004 , covers for the grant of patent rights to inventors in Nigeria . I am personally aware of a few patented inventions and designs in Nigeria including some of popular fashion designer , Deola Sagoe designs .

As a tech inventor , you can protect your intellectual property rights through copyright and the novelty of what you are working on can also qualify you for “ patents “ depending on how truly unique your idea/invention is and if it meets all other requirements provided under the act .

You can send me a mail via olaoluwaidowu700@gmail.com for more details and enquiries on this .
