David Adeleke popularly known by his stage name, Davido has replied a follower by asking him to show his father's car with proofs of ownership

ElevationD:
Oga, expect the blunder. When you say MTN, you assume that it is MTN as a group, and want to hold the entire organization responsible. There is a department in charge of that. Whoever posted that public notice, made the error.

Be that as it may, the notice was posted and everyone will comply, except “I too know” people. Expect the blunder as they are human.

Try not to take this matter personally ok?
Except all is not well at home

NNtv:
Thanks for the observation upcoming CIA AGENT. They need to do more next time because we are all not dummies who wouldn't notice their error

Lol 😂😂😂😂😂.
Una no go kpai person with laugh for this nairaland.
Let's wait for more commenters to see if it's correct or not

ElevationD:
No wahala. At least they gave notice to customers, seeing that millions of people would be affected. That is better than NEPA or our GENCOS. No notice and when light is restored, we all shout “up NEPA”! Even unborn babies go dey shout “up NEPA” inside belle.

That's not what I'm asking oga.
Should a brand like MTN make such blunder?

I want to ask, is this correct from MTN.

Should it be We Apologize or "we apologies"?

Abi I no Sabi English again?

Could it be how it is used in British English?
Please educate me, my people.

Even MTN cannot put up good English. Nawao.
What is "We apologies" ?

Is it We Apologize or we apologies?

Labour party presidential candidate and former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi, has addressed lingering public scrutiny over his past interaction with the late military ruler, General Sani Abacha, clarifying that his engagement was purely civic and devoid of political motivation.

Our Engagement with General Abacha: Setting the Record Straight

In consonance with my established principles of defending everything I am involved in, and in the interest of all men and women of goodwill, especially those committed to the pursuit of truth, I hereby attach the letter which documents my co-opting, along with others, into the Taskforce on the decongestion of the Ports.

As I stated during my interview at the weekend and consistently maintained in the past, I had never met General Sani Abacha before that encounter. Our meeting with him was borne out of collective concern as traders and importers over the prolonged delays in clearing goods at the ports. We approached him not as political actors, but as concerned citizens seeking pragmatic solutions to a matter affecting economic activity and livelihoods.

Our intention was clear: to advocate for efficiency, and to propose practical steps towards restoring normalcy in port operations for the benefit of the wider business community and, ultimately, the Nigerian economy.

This clarification is offered in the interest of truth, to reaffirm that our actions were driven solely by a sense of civic duty and not political ambition.

I don't expect this copious evidence to bury this Abacha case because the mischief makers have ulterior motives, but it's being placed in the public space for posterity and in line with my transparency pledge to Nigerians on any issue I am involved in.

As a child, what was that dumb thing you ever did?
I mean the Most Dumb thing you did?



Me: Having worked as a houseboy while growing up, I was tasked with the responsibility of cooking for a large number of people. All the foods I prepared were salty. Either too much salt or maggi or pepper. But most times, it was salt. I tried to stop but no way. Because if I tried to have a taste of what I was cooking, they would say I had finished the food while still on the fire.

What I was doing to reduce the saltiness of the food was to POUR MORE SALT directly into the FIRE. This was Based on superstition at the time. I was told that doing so would drastically reduce or completely remove the salt in the food. Till date, I can't tell if it ever worked or not.

God bless you.
Sometimes you come to nairaland thinking u would get some relief or solutions to one's challenges but no way. Some persons here are just out to deliberately cause more problems. Sometimes I wonder.

ChybuzzDD:
What kind of poverty can make you not to travel to your village to see your mom in 12yrs?.

This is not acceptable/justifiable for any reason.

Some of you do not understand what people are going through in life. Do you know the op's story?
Let's be kind with our words please

correctyourself:
I read few lines my mind just forsaw what could have happened, though i still had to complete it.

1) You do things to extreme end without considering pains and body language of others- hence, she decided to accuse you. I don't know why some teachers are like that, years back I have heard student collapsed as a result of flogging by teacher.

2) You're finding it difficult to forgive, meanwhile, it's seriously needed right now, still, the same character of over doing things is playing out again! .

3) The girls was childish and doesn't understand the implications of her act, the best she could think of, is accusations, which is every bad of her.

4) Finally, you need to work on your character because it contributed to the dilemma you found yourself, considered the reason for the accusations is because of your esseses, as agin shown by your statement ( Difficult to Forgive).

Go and forgive the female student if u think it's that easy to let go.
Do u know how hurt I was?
U guys are always quick to blab when you're not the one involved

Nairaland members, I sincerely want to ask, Have you ever been wrongly accused of sexually harassing and abusing someone?
As a teacher, have you ever been accused of sexually abusing your student?
I only watch such in the movies, I only read and hear about such cases. But little did I know that I would be a victim one day.

Firstly, Who is a teacher?.
A teacher, by default, is meant to be a Coach, a role model and mentor. A teacher should be a Moralist, at least. As a teacher, there are places I wouldn't go to. There are people I shouldn't be seen associating with, there are things I shouldn't be seen doing or consuming because I have my students who are looking up to me
In March this year, I encountered the most trying moment of my entire life. I was down completely. The impact of the accusation still live in my head and it affects me psychologically and mentally.
An SS2 female student went home to tell her mum that I sexually abused her, by touching her breasts and private part(vagina). And I did so repeatedly until she got fed up after weeks and decided to report to her mum. She even said I invited her to my house and since she refused coming, I started harassing and victimizing her. And that I asked her out, but she turned me down.
One fateful morning, while I was conducting the assembly, the mum of same student drove into the school and started shouting on top of her voice wanting to see and attack me. Her daughter pointed at me on the assembly and this woman came & began to insult me, and even held me by the neck. I had not seen such embarrassment until that day. My colleagues came and intervened. Other students were shocked to hear what the woman was saying. I could see the sadness in the students' faces. I was dumbfounded. I felt like the ground should open and swallow me. The shame was too much to bear. This is a school I have worked for years, managing my life until something better would come up.
My Director and other mgt staff were called upon, and we had a panel of judges. The woman narrated everything her daughter told her about me. Nothing was True. Nothing as such ever happened between me and her daughter or anyone else. I was shocked to hear all the allegations levelled against me. I stood up, defended myself and even carried the bible to swear.
To my shock, three of her(female student) friends came in to testify against me. No colleague of mine was able to defend me. Only one colleague stood up to defend me completely. The woman almost slapped me when I tried defending myself.
At the end of proceedings, the woman threatened to withdraw her daughter and two other children from the sch. And even the daughter's friends threatened to leave the sch if I didn't leave. As a result, my employer terminated my appointment without even paying me for that month which I had worked. But as I was about to exit the sch premises, I pulled of my shoes, put my feet on the ground and swore that God vindicates me. I challenged God to reveal the truth.
Just last week, I was told the girl had been sick for three months now & no doctor has been Able to detect what the problem is. She can no longer go to sch, can even eat or walk without support. Shes now confined to her bed. She was taken to a Prayer house and the Pastor there revealed that she must confess and seek forgiveness from me before she can get healed. The woman called the sch, and the sch called me to please come. My number was sent to the woman and she's been calling, but I'm not picking. My former employer even came to my house last week Friday and Saturday, but didn't meet me at home.
I asked former employer why the girl had to lie against me for no reason. And according to my employer, the girl and her friends said it because I discipline students a lot and they don't like me for doing that, so they needed to get me out of the way. That was just the reason.
As for the sch, I will never go back there. Thank goodness I wasn't accused of theft. Next could be worse.
Till date, I'm still bitter and pained, I find it hard forgiving her. I have always stayed away from trouble. But this one really touched and pierced my soul and it's difficult for me to just forgive.

This is inhuman and barbaric, why?
Because of ordinary oil?

Not supporting theft in any way though. But we shouldn't use a Gun to kill a mosquito because it bit us.
