Lies.
Two of my Uncle's and 3 of my Aunt's are retired civil servants in Edo. I have first hand information about Pensioners in Edo. Obaseki has not been paying them for over 6 Years now.

Since you claimed Obaseki has been paying pensioners, why are they protesting in Ring Road every week?

We no go still vote Obaseki's candidate,even if he pays 200k as minimum wage. He should refund Edo workers all the unpaid arrears.

For over 4 years now, Obaseki has been paying Edo workers salaries in percentage. Edo workers rarely get up to 50% of their Salary. Edo people are wiser. We are voting Monday of APC

Romance / Re: Because I'm Broke Doesn't Mean I Shudnt Have Pride (pics) by josh123(m): 8:24am On May 27
idahme:
Let no one shame you for going life's struggles, that you are broke doesn't mean you don't deserve a bride.

A society who despises a broke man shouldn't tell the man how many women he will Carry when he becomes rich. There are levels to which someone can be broke, some don't work at all and don't have funds to take care of their recurrent expenditure not to talk of additional people while others are broke earning minimum wage or above minimum wage jobs but can afford their basic needs.

If you find yourself in the latter category then it's easier but if you find yourself in the former the scenario becomes even more daunting. For scenario one you have to consciously find a bride who doesn't have the mindset of "my money is my money and your money is our money" else you will regret taking the route of marriage im the first place. But if scenario two is what you are experiencing the only option is to seek a bride that is way financially stable than scenario one but it's like passing through the eye of a needle because 99 % of ladies will over look you because hypergamy won't work where you are.

You must note an intentional mindset to planning yourself in this , don't ever let things to chance like the number of children you should have as well as how to improve your finances to accommodate the ever increasing financial obligations as the family size increases. Never live your life to the standards of people around you, set your own pace and conquer your world. The road is extremely challenging but with hardwork, dedication you can surpass all limiting vicissitudes around you.

you are right bro.... I remembered when I was broke no girl even send me.... Now that I am less broke, na different babes I dey carry... Carry and leave.... Even my babe know....I carry any girl I want and treat them like trash. When I was broke they treated me like trash so it's my turn
Nairaland / General / Expert Advice: How To Negotiate Prices With Your Roofing Contractor by premiereexterio: 8:17am On May 27
Have you ever looked at a roofing quote and gulped at the price? You're not alone! Many homeowners feel the pinch when it's time to repair or replace their roofs. But here's a little secret: What is the price of that quote? It's not always set in stone. Negotiating with your Roofing Contractor in Burnsville MN can lead to significant savings. So, grab a seat, and let's dive into how to talk down that daunting number without breaking a sweat.

Know the Market: Research Before You Speak
Before you call contractors, do your homework. What's the going rate for roofing services in your area? Understand the materials cost, labor charges, and what your neighbors paid for similar services. This information will give you the power to recognize a fair offer when you see one. And hey, knowing solid data back you might give you the confidence to push for a better deal.

Get Multiple Quotes: Knowledge is Power
Don't settle on the first contractor who comes your way. Aim to get at least three quotes from different roofing companies. This variety gives you a clear idea of what your roofing project should cost and provides negotiating leverage. You can play these quotes against each other. Tell your preferred contractor, "I love your work, but so-and-so offered a better price. Can you match it?" Often, they'll be willing to make adjustments to secure your business.

Timing is Everything: Leverage Slower Seasons
Roofers get busy, especially right after stormy weather and during warmer months. Planning your roofing job with a Siding Contractor in Burnsville MN, during their slower periods—like late fall or early winter—can be a golden ticket to better prices. Why? Simple: Less demand can mean more flexibility in prices. A polite question like, "Do you offer off-season rates?" can open the door to unexpected savings.

Be Clear and Upfront: Honesty Wins
When you start your negotiation, be clear about what you can spend and what you're looking for. Honesty creates a transparent atmosphere and can make the contractor more willing to work within your budget. Also, showing that you respect their work but need some wiggle room on the pricing can foster goodwill. Finding a middle ground is more accessible when both parties know what the other needs.

Discuss Payment Options: Flexibility Can Pay Off
Sometimes, the way you pay can influence the price. Offering to pay a significant portion upfront might lower the overall cost. Alternatively, asking about financing options can spread out the expense so it's not as heavy all at once. Don't hesitate to ask, "Is there a discount if I pay half upfront?" or "What kind of payment plan options do you offer?"

Emphasize Long-Term Relationships: A Strategic Approach
When chatting with your roofing contractor, mention your interest in a long-term relationship for future maintenance and projects. A roofing contractor in Burnsville MN, values repeat business and is often willing to offer discounts to ensure ongoing engagements. You could say, "I'm looking for someone I can rely on for this job and any roofing needs down the road. This approach helps you get a discount and ensures a trusted contractor is on call for future needs.

Explore Package Deals: Bundle and Save
Ask your contractor if there are any bundle deals available. Sometimes, if you plan to have multiple tasks done simultaneously, such as gutter replacement and roofing, the contractor might offer a package deal at a reduced rate. This can be framed as, "What kind of package deals do you offer if I decide to go ahead with the roofing and gutter work together?" This maximizes the value you get and reduces the logistical hassle for the contractor, making it a win-win situation.

Use Testimonials as Leverage: The Power of Reputation
If you find positive reviews praising good value, mention these during your discussions as a reason you chose to talk to them. I'm hoping we can work something out within my budget." This shows that you are informed and value their reputation, which might make them more willing to offer you a favorable price to maintain that good standing.

Clarify Scope and Flexibility: Find Savings in the Details
There may be ways to save money by digging into the details of the work. For example, suggest using a different material or skipping certain non-essential features. Pose the question, "Is there any flexibility in the materials used or the project scope that could bring the cost down?" Searching "asphalt roofing service near me" shows your awareness of the project's details and encourages the contractor to consider alternative, cost-effective solutions.

Offer to Refer Others: Mutual Benefits
If you're part of a community group or know others who might need similar services, offer to refer them to the contractor. This can be a strong incentive for a discount. You might say, "I'm impressed with your professionalism. I know a few neighbors who need roof work done. This opens up potential new business for the contractor and can help you secure a more favorable deal.

Conclusion
When dealing with a major purchase like your home's roof, the prospect of negotiation may initially seem overwhelming. However, with Premiere Exteriors, LLC, you can confidently navigate this process and create a deal that leaves you and your contractor happy. Remember, a good contractor will want to keep you as a customer for future projects, too, so finding that sweet spot in pricing benefits both sides.

Phones / Re: Ever Tracked A Stolen Phone Before? Share Your Experience by Kelvin30286063(m): 8:17am On May 27
2020, I bought the new Samsung S20 Ultra, the phone was so good that I was almost worshipping it. Display was amazing, smooth and everything. I didn't know there's more to that phone until I lost it. I went to one of the drug stores at shoprite and forgot it there. That was my mistake but the store attendant should have demanded a compensation and give me my phone which I would have gladly paid and even thank him. Instead he turned it off and tried to play me.
But the thing with Samsung is, you can easily track it even when it's off. Especially if you take the time to set up your Find My Device settings.
I decided to leave the guy alone but I couldn't afford to drag the matter for too long cos at the end of that month (March 29), Buhari decided to start lock down. Luckily they only locked down major cities so Ondo state was not included yet so I used my wife's phone to track mine (we use the same type of phones)
Lo and behold, I found my phone, called a few thugs in my street (Thank God I have been giving them money whenever I drive by so it was easy to ask for their assistance)
We went to the guy's house with the help of the tracking map and we met him at home, he started denying and claiming I'm intimidating him even after telling me he didn't see my phone. I told him we want to search his house, he said no, he started calling his neighbors and a few people gathered. Then under the tracking location, I saw "Ring"
It came to me that I can make the phone ring where ever it is. I didn't know it will work especially since I believe the phone is turned off but I pressed it anyway and just like that, I started hearing samsung default ring tone loud and clear in the room. He was trying to talk over it so we won't hear the sound but ofcourse it didn't work.
After we found the phone inside one of his bags, the boys that came with me gave him a few dirty slaps and some punches. I told them to leave him alone and we left. I gave the 3 of them 15k and that was the end of it. I later went to shoprite to report to the management and they invited him, when he saw me, he started begging but that didn't save him. I think he was fired cos I haven't seen him at the drug store, yes I still go to the drug store 😂

Looking at this case critically, the guy’s parent or relatives must be rich enough to send him to Ajayi Crowther University (ACU). This is not a thief case but cult case, those group of so called students were trying to initiate the guy not thief case. Police should do their findings and The family should pick this up and send those group of students to jail. Peace!
exactly my point


Now you get the whole picture and I really hope that the parents and family members of the deseased don't drop the Case.they follow it up to the end because Nigerians Sabi play emotional manipulation and mind games.the parents of those animals fit go dey beg the parents and kneel down for them crying.yorubas call it ebe Ika and they should also make sure there are no distractors that'll mess up the case like in the case of mohbad.meanwhile they should do an autopsy for the deseased so all the remaining animals that killed the boy Can be traced


Vdm I take God beg you,stay out of this and no put mouth.the only people that should put mouth are minister for education Oyo state, governor Oyo state,vice chancellors Oyo State,I.G of police, DSS,anti cult agencies and other security personnels.every other person should Siddon look.no talk pass your mouth
Romance / Re: These Fears Are Real At 33 by Streak47: 7:24am On May 27
Blessedpalms:
These fears are more than real the moment you hit 33. I looked in my mirror and saw my beards, becoming everything I feared.
I have never felt so lonely in a world filled with 7 billon humans. Too much worries

Maybe I should have took that risk, maybe I should have learnt something instead of just focusing on academics. I keep thinking about everything I could have done earlier. Maybe I should have started this 5 years ago at 28. Maybe I should have started that 7 years ago when I was 26.
But it's unfortunate those years are in the past now.

It's my fault, I was optimistic and thought things were going to be better. Government employment, good salary. I'll have a good career and my own family. Maybe a wife and 2 kids.
I just laughed at myself now,
This clown got No kids, no business
maybe that's even a blessing in disguise because how do I feed them?
I have always been afraid not being able to be there for people around me talk less of my kids. These fears are real because I can't even be there for myself.


I am not the type that blames anyone. I feel like life has a way of telling you optimism is weakness and a lie.
Don't get me wrong, Life is kind to many others
And this is where temptations comes, you start to see society and crime from a different perspective.
No one is free from this kinds of temptations

No one is free from this kinds of temptations.
This is why I find it hard to blame call girls and women in clubs acting a stripper. You don't know the kind of struggles that push people to where they are. I have grown and learnt not to make mockery of anyone. Some of them aren't even 33 yet. Alot of things tempt people to Fall. Many people with no real jobs.

Appprehsive about what to eat, appprehsive about health, Appprehsive about neighborhood asking for any fee, apprehensive about Rent, Appprehsive about aged parents. I don't know what tomorrow holds. You tell people to teach you things, they tell you, you're too old.

I am at a point where I am trying not fall. It's emotionally shattering. NO job, no real solid financial backing. It feels like only you in the world. you have to fight and figure it all out.
You think, Plan, write but see, it all feels like a meaningless scribble.

If you you are still 25 or 26 now is the time to do something. Just do something, forget about optimism. Optimism is deceptive.
Do everything not to stumble and fall in the future. Don't be bothered about what people think about what you do. You'll only be respected if you are able to care for yourself and people around you.

Never give up. The system in our clime is designed to make the average person fail. My advice, get a mentor or any skill that's proven to be highly profitable. And learn 1 to 3 years to master and in your 40s you might be resting. Don't just give up yet.

Gerrard59:
It is funny how miscreants who and/or whose parents campaigned and voted for Buhari in 2015 are stunned that things have worsened over time. What were you lots expecting?! Fast-growing economy? You people ganged up against a president whose tenure witnessed unprecedented GDP growth rates, a ruthless onslaught against Boko Haram (a political invention anyway) and a diversifying economy. No!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Una say you wanted to phight kwarruption, so you voted a feudalist who was grossly incompetent!

Buhari’s antecedents date to 1984 when some of you were either zygotes, babies or una mama and papa were chanting to themselves I love you, oya talk ya own. After witnessing the terrible policies the disgruntled cattle rearer implemented, you lots conspired to vote him again in 2015 because he would handle cecurity, while the reticent pastor would handle the heconomi. How the matter don go?

This is a man who had 150 cows year in, year out! Buhari’s cows defied the basic laws of economics and biology! None of you people bothered to ask why. A man who proclaimed that he would advance the implementation of Sharia across the entire country. Una say he was the best thing since sliced bread. In 2016/7, there were countless threads on Nairaland by Nigerians who ventured into agriculture as a result of the policies of GEJ and his Agric Minister. People were investing into large-scale poultry, cassava, corn, soybeans etc., plantations. This incompetent feudalist empowered his marauding brothers to wreak havoc across farmlands waylaying people, burning farms and destroying investments worth millions! You lots still voted for him 2019 (not like an erstwhile dictator would have lost an election anyway). Ever since then, una don see anybody comot millions talk say him or her wan invest in kini kon large agricultural farm land? Everybody don run go yukay to clean oyibo yansh! Even Rotimi Williams, the then second biggest rice farmer in the country, fled to Senegal: https://www.nairaland.com/7723312/nigerian-kidnap-gangs-drive-big-time

Even those currently farming, can you enter your farms at peace?

Prior to Buhari’s ascendancy, hookup were not rife nor was yahoo yahoo. But today? The rate of hookup has ballooned while that of yahoo yahoo has swelled. Una no go ask questions to know why certain practices became so common. Why won’t they since children became orphans as a result of incessant killings across the country or parents wrecked financially as a result of continuous kidnapping of their children. Parents of kidnapped children in Kaduna in a year and few months paid ransoms of over 500 million naira. Nigerians across the North Central were butchered like suya! Una keep quiet.

Today, e don red and you bastards are lamenting of failed heconomi and lost years! Foolish people! Una never see anything! This is just the preamble!



Total nonsense! Why should you, an Igbo man, proffer solutions to miscreants who voted for a man who called your region a dot and promised to repeat the lessons your ancestors learnt over 50 years ago? When you folks were flogged like babies in Lagos during the 2023 elections, did any of the miscreants lamenting offer to assist you and heal your wounds? So, why cry more than the bereaved?

This Christianity of a religion don make Igbos not to understand that there are certain people you don’t forgive or forget what they did to you. A Buharist would always harbour hatred towards you as an Igbo man even if you offer your assets to him or her. These people loathe you so dearly and were actually shining their rotten teeth when young Igbo men were forced to drink mud water. Have you helped those men before these miscreants who campaigned and voted for Buhari in 2015?!
All you said are obvious truths.


It's really sad, sighs
