Fast forward to days or months he arrived the US comes his birthday so I created an amazon account gave him and told him to pick anything of his choice. I paid for them. You won't believe the guy went back to order things. He claimed it was a mistake I couldn't get a refund till date he later blocked me on all social mediums when I texted him. Not everybody wants their money I just want to have a genuine relationship with them. My friend kpele oh..... Me self weak for this one.

EdmundChidera: My agendas will be realistic
1: I will regulate CBN policies on money market, to avoid foreign manipulation on our currency, thereby giving no room for inflations again.
2: I will detribalized our country through education and nationality. Through education, I will ensure basic schools have 3 compulsory languages(Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba) to learn. Through Nationality, I will ensure there's nothing like state of origin again rather place of residence.
3: I will make institutions independent, to enable them checkmate other institutions in the country.
4: I will demonetize politics, through cutting the resources government spends on political office holders.
5: I will colonise all this our neighbouring countries, not minding what the UN or any other international have to say about it.
6: since I will aggressively fund three major sector, which include, Education, Health and Security forces.
7: I will ensure that international media propaganda and intervention is restricted totally especially Western world.
8: I will regulate the media especially social media that have done more harm to the youths than Good, then engage them forcefully to the labour market for creativity and innovations.
9: I will appoint and work with intellects and experts in every sector of the economy, to make Nigeria attractive for Nigerians also reduces migrations.
10: I will be open for ideas and critics from people I lead in other to do the things that will favour the society after consultations. You want to punish little children to learn languages they may never need? The point is a very good one but the means of accomplishment is absolutely silly. What happened to the over hundred remaining languages? You don't know you'll be refueling tribalism in your bid to quench it? |

bkool7: Pay the PHCN money and deduct the amount you paid from her rent when it's due. Tell her and her property lawyer to go to court. Let the court decide.
She was not honest when you signed the tenancy agreement. Let's see what the judge thinks of that OP this is another option you can explore in addition to what I suggested above. |
Properties › Re: Prepaid Meter Debt - What Do I Do? by sonofthunder: 6:26am On Sep 01, 2020 |
phcnmeterdebt: Good morning people,
I created this account to seek the best solution to the problem I encountered in my place of residence. Please this is a long read, but bear with me.
I moved in to a two-bedroom aparment in Aguda Surulere on 14th of June, 2020. When I moved in, there was a new electricity prepaid meter in the apartment. The landlady told me she paid 10k upfront for me (when she was obtaining the meter). She said I can top-up as I continue to use the meter). I thanked her. And moved in.
Yesterday, 31st August 2020, because of the rumor of tarrif increase, I went to top-up the electricity units. After several trials, the lady told me something seems to be wrong with my meter. She directed me to an office where the woman told me that I have a debt of N77,200 on the meter. I was shocked.
I have never head of pushing bills from post-paid meter into a prepaid meter. The breakdown is that there is an existing debt of N70,000 before I moved in. The remaining N7,200 is the one I have been using since I moved in. This means that the landlady did not pay any money as she claimed! But no problem, I was willing to pay for what I used, but NO, the lady said the system cannot accept part payment, that I have to pay the whole amount of N77,200
I called the landlady there and then, and she was sounding both surprised and rude too. She told me that she wants to speak with the office lady, I handed in my phone and the woman confirmed to her that there is a debt in the prepaid meter! When I took the phone, the landlady started saying something along the lines of “there was an analog meter before I changed to prepaid, the meter is new, ......” She said that when I come back to the house that she will explain further.
I called my agent (a very responible family man) and told him. He drove down to PHCN office where I was, confirmed the debt and we drove to my compound to see the landlady (she lives in the compound too). She explained that the analog meter have a huge amount of debt before, according to her up to 600k! She paid 75% to enable the PHCN people to give them her the meter (I cannot verify this information). She said she did not know that they still added the remaining 25% to the prepaid meter bill that is why she did not mention it to me because she thought she was fully cleared with PHCN.
After the explanation, the agent now asked her, “now that you know that the debt was not fully cleared, what is the solution?”. This evil woman looked at me and said “she will pay it nah”. I said, “me?” that was when I burst into tears. She and the agent got into a loud arguement, the agent told her she was wicked and blablabla..
The landlady was again very rude. She said we can talk to the property lawyer (who is of course under her payroll). She walked into her apartment and closed the door. I have called the property lawyer myself and he has not been picking my calls.
Right now, I do not know the best way to handle this situation. What should I do?
Note that I cannot recharge my units until the debt is cleared. So once the existing unit is exhausted, I will not have light in my apartment.
All through my moving process, neither she nor the lawyer mentioned this to me. Such a pity. That debt is most likely from estimated billing of the previous resident. You should verify your landlady claims (I believe she's lying to you) and find out what was going on before you rented the apartment (with the previous tenant) so you can make a proper/genuine complaint to nerc. A better option to the above which may take time is to move out and try compelling the agent to go get you the the money you paid as rent citing falsehood. I personally don't see an easy or a quick way out of this. Let's see what others will advise. |

bassdow: I mean be Passionate about what you do. Exceot You're passionate about what You do, I don't think you ever would improve on it.
A person who is a teacher today just because He / She couldn't find another kinda Job may never be better Except they focus on it else they keep moving from One Job to another.
It's like Pushing a Car 2-inches, you complain it's too heavy and move on to another Car which You still leave for another Car after pushing it 3-inches. Now imagine focusing all that energy on just 1-Car, you would have pushed it 2+3+5+... inches.
So when I say Passion, it doesn't always have to be your initial Hobby. I personally can never be Good as a Musician no matter how Lucrative it might be OR how hard I try.
Some people waste Time Moving from One Job / Business to another rather than Picking Up One, Focusing on it and ... This is the official nairaland thumbs up |

Following a Career Path you don't like or passionate about is like being in Relationship with someOne whom you don't love - A life long misery
By the way, am yet to meet anyOne who became a professional doing what they hate or don't like. You either QUIT or never gets better at it.
I rather earn less doing that which I love than Earn a Lot yet unHappy with what I do. Hello ma'am, I used to have similar logic to yours but now I've discovered that its more important to be passionate about whatsoever you are doing than to be endlessly searching for a (sometimes nonexistent) career path/job/etc that one has passion for. Waiting for a passion has made a lot of people lazy, entitled 'slobs' (whatever that means). |

I might not use Wordpress for everything but I have used it enough to not even believe Matt Mullenweg should he say such.
As for if you should build a custom project or use a CMS, not until you let us in on what sort of project you're looking to work on, your current experience, and your reason(s), I doubt anyOne here would be able to give you a reliable suggestion.
By the way, a developer with basic knowledge shouldn't have much issue making such a decision Hello ma'am, is it possible/advisable to build and deploy a website with WordPress and later on move off the platform entirely without the danger of losing data or visitors? |

Business › Re: Do You Think I Should Give Up On The Business? by sonofthunder: 11:34am On Aug 24, 2020 |
yommyk222: Please pardon me if you see any error in my write-up,
Reason is that I don't have good education background. I will make my write-up short. It all start in 2015 when I come across a mini importation busines threads here on nairaland since then I have been following almost every mini importation thread, so after so much consideration I finally kickoff in 2019 with the some of 15k, thing is not that going well but manageable I later invest more fund to boost the business then boom things start going fine I got order almost everyday and I do Deliver myself. This make me to resign from my hotel job were I earn 32k monthly then face the business.
After 4months I was able to raise money from the busines and rent a house, after I rent the house the business was not really going well because I use some of my investment to do other things. It all start when coviD-19 pandemic start in China which holds my package since January, so from January till now I have be feeding myself from the fund that I use to run the business. So I finally pickk up the package last week. Hoping to run it through Facebook as usual but later find out that the product I m selling can't run on Facebook Because it against there policy (it skin care products that contains Before and After pictures). This make them to banned my ads Account with some fund inside
I actually start the business with Bluetooth earphones, smartwatch and some USB bag. A colleague later told me to go for beauty and skin care products because they are high demand. Now I feel there is no way out because I don't have other way of selling off this product to get back my fund. I just feel I should just giveup on the business and start other business. Or I m not doing something right about the business? Please advise a brother You shouldn't give up. In fact, I wouldn't mind learning a thing or two from you. It was simply a case of wrong product choice and you can easily reverse to what used to work for you. Your major challenge may be sufficient finances to restart. |
