The logic is backwards. A government establishment located in a community will most likely mean more opportunities for commerce, trade, employment and development in that community.

Dear Mods, did she really "cry out"? Na wah for nairaland.

What are you saying So you enter an agreement with a company that they'll pay you a certain amount for services rendered and let's say after you work for a while they tell you that they have slashed what they'll pay you by 40% for the same service you're rendering and you won't complain.

To understand what I'm saying, you have to read everything I say. Even a primary school student knows that the best time to negotiate the terms of an agreement is before signing the dotted lines. The Terms and Conditions of the Uber Agreement allow Uber to fix the fees, rates and charges. Did the drivers complain when prices were increased The fact that you can willingly accept a price increase is an implied willingness to accept a reduction, especially as a reduction also means that Uber will suffer from reduced income.

In the event of a disagreement as to the terms of the Agreement, why not look at the dispute resolution clauses to identify the next available option? An agreement governs the conduct of the parties as well as the terms for resolving conflict. This agbero approach will not take you anywhere my brother.
Do you understand now?

“I spent N50,000 on fuel last week and UBER paid me just N80,000 when I was supposed to get double of that amount,” one of the drivers said..

50k on fuel? Na inter-state hin dey drive? Many of these drivers are dishonest. Do they protest when fares were increased? Do they protest when they receive bonuses? The best time to protest is before you enter the business. If it doesn't pay you, don't join, or even better, delete the app and buy taxi license from Lagos State.
The company is fighting for its life and the livelihood of its members. Ordinarily, it would help if there was more inclusiveness in the decision-making process, but price penetration is a well-known sales strategy.

A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos, on Tuesday, April 25, 2017, adjourned a suit filed by Portland Paints & Products Nigeria Plc (the Plaintiff) against Voda Paints Limited (the Defendant) for definite trial.
Delivering her ruling, the Honorable Justice Mojisola Olatoregun-Ishola awarded cost against the Plaintiff, in favour of the Defendant. The Judge blamed Portland Paints & Products Nigeria Plc for causing delays and admonished them to be more diligent in the prosecution of the case which was filed in 2015. The two industry giants will appear before the Court for trial on June 8, 2017.

Investigations by our correspondent who was in court on Tuesday reveal that the legal dispute centers on the right to use the word ‘Trowel’. The Plaintiff, represented by Femi Fajolu of G.O. Sodipo & Co, claims exclusive right to Trowel Paints and alleges to have invented the word ‘Sandtex Trowel’.

Voda Paints Limited, represented by Folarin Aluko, Damilola Amore and Mofe Ogbe, of Trumann Rockwood Solicitors, strongly refutes the Plaintiff’s claim and contends that apart from being a common English word, ‘Trowel’ is used to identify a type of paint in the paint and manufacturing industry in Nigeria and all over the world. As a result, Voda Paints contends that the Plaintiff cannot claim exclusive ownership of Trowel or Trowel paints. The Defendants also argue that granting the exclusive right over a generic word to anyone, including the Plaintiff, would be injurious to commerce and create an unfair monopoly in the industry.

Voda Paints Limited, an industry leader in the Paints and Manufacturing Industry, with a nationwide distribution network manufactures and markets a wide range of decorative paints and wall coverings.
Portland Paints & Products Nigeria Plc, a publicly quoted company and a subsidiary of UAC Nigeria Plc, recently appointed Mrs. Adeline K. Ogunfidodo to its Board of Directors. The next Annual General Meeting of Portland Paints and Products Nigeria Plc will be held at Silas Daniyan Hall, Golden Tulip Festac, Amuwo-Odofin, Lagos State, on Wednesday, 31st May, 2017.

I doff my hat! Nice one.
Please more pictures of the interior, and please take straight shots, these slanted shots don't do the car justice.

Do you have hp officejet 150 all in one battery?

Some mad sarcasm at work brah.

Lugubrious! Simply lugubrious!

Well said by a Yoruba man.

Overspeeding means exceeding the speed limit for a road or street. Most express roads in Nigeria have a maximum speed limit of 100 km/h. Inside town however, it would depend on whether you're on a trunk, street, etc. Some private premises also have a maximum speed limit.

Charity begins at home. If you're really interested in fighting corruption, start from the Executive. This shouldn't be a targeted attempt to silence progressive Northern voices who speak the truth.

This one na genesis nor be revelation.

Not geographically possible Mr. Gomina

University students in other countries do worse. Shame on you, op for capitalizing on another person's private celebration. Don't be a perv

Tinubu has a history of being betrayed and has a history of overcoming betrayal.

Gbam! This is a classic definition of Asiwaju Tinubu.

elampiro:
When you get abroad, if you like go and sleep with a girl in her sleep because you think she had previously given 'implied consent'.

Even when given express consent previously, you will still have much to answer. At the point you took advantage of her, was she conscious and gave her consent?

In this case, Tboss had previously rejected his advances, which makes the case worse for Kemen.

Nigerians and this "abroad" complex. Its not about being or going 'abroad'. If you don't learn to speak to issues, we can not have a meaningful and productive discussion. A conversation on consent does not authorize or excuse rape for you or for anyone. There is no excuse for rape, rapists, or sex offenders- don't get it twisted. By "sleep with a girl in her sleep", I presume you refer to having sex with someone who is asleep (or unconscious). FYI its also an offence to do that here in Nigeria, so please, no tink am.

All over the world, the rape question is socially and legally complex. From a legal perspective, one of the elements of rape is consent (or the lack of it). Other legal elements include penetration, mental state, criminal jurisdiction and so on. My post is based on the legal definition of consent all over the world (at least within the commonwealth). Its the same "abroad" as it is here in Nigeria. You must understand that consent is a question of fact, and not law (with the exception of minors and disadvantaged persons where the law automatically presumes the absence of consent). Since its a factual issue, there are several factors that will be considered to determine whether consent was actually given.
For example, consent, whether express or implied, can be withdrawn at anytime. You may also examine the mental state of the parties and several factors.
The Tboss issue is not as straight-forward or as simple as you may think. It throws up many moral, social, religious, cultural and legal issues, which is why public opinion is largely divided on the topic. As you can imagine, each issue is extremely complicated. The only way to have a constructive discussion on the issue is to identify and address the various issues for what they are.

Consent can be express or implied. It is express when there is a definite statement conveying the consent which is understood by everyone involved. For example, you ask someone for a pen to write with and the person says you can take it.

Consent is implied when a person acts in such a way as to give the impression that s/he has agreed to something which a reasonable person would understand to mean approval. For example, you make a writing gesture to someone and the person nods and smiles.

The problem with implied consent is that it can be quite ambiguous and subject to misinterpretation which is why there is a consideration as to whether a reasonable person would understand the actions to imply consent.

The main news item is not against the Police per se, but with regards to Local Government officers who waylay motorist on roads for commercial licenses and such.

1-4 are not correct. What Op has supplied in the case of 1-4 are common rejoinders to the popular sayings.

This is fantastic news! Please don't stop at naming diseases, our indigenous languages are going extinct.

Logistics of Nigerian Education. In the final analysis, the young lady is right- nobody owes her anything. The acknowledgment and recognition are enough reward. The reward for academic aptitude is recognition. I don't support the monetization of education, there's no need to get hung up on the value of the prize money.

Op you need to reconcile with a dictionary. I don't think you understand the meaning of some of the words that featured in this analysis.

IPOB, slowly impoverishing the masses it is supposed to liberate.

Well said. The logic in the commentary is kindergarten at best. The man isn't being tried under sharia law... He's being tried for treason. While I don't agree with the FG's decision to hold him indefinitely, there's nothing religious or even tribal about his trial.
