Family › Re: Married But Lonely by sonofthunder: 5:28am On Jan 24
Sexyrosey:
I really appreciate this post, my husband is not abusive towards me, he provides and to a large extent I can say he is a good person and a good father, but a terrible husband( emotionally unavailable and a “traditional man” ) who believes that the only thing is owes his wife is food and shelter.

My marriage is 8 years, and I must say, and my children are still small so I'm stuck with them most of my free time. And to make the whole matter worse we relocated to a new state, away from all my friends and family.

I just needed to vent, in hope that I will feel better afterwards
1. Try and love yourself. Have your own fun and activities that are for you. I'm not saying you should redirect your focus or efforts cause that will year your marriage apart.

2. Try and initiate things with your husband. Outings, visits, dates, etc.

3. Discuss what you want with your husband. Anything you haven't constructively tried to trash out with him at least 3 times should not be heard by an outsider.

Do you know the funny thing? Your police actually get a lot more training than for example uk police.

Its not that your police dont know the laws the problem is corruption and they dont care.
How many hours of training? Any evaluation program after?

Never heard of them flunking tests and practical training. Even those that look young on the job usually look unfit.

Louiscars:
2007 Toyota Camry ( solid car, but you’ll most likely face oil burn issues later on )
2005-2008 corolla ( actually a good option, just get a car tracker if you opt for it, it’s a thieve magnet )
2005 -6 Toyota Highlander ( you probably have kids or would need something with a higher ground clearance , it’s very reliable but then it’s a v6 )
- 2008 Honda Crv, honestly, this is the best option for you, absolutely wonderful cuv, nice interior has ground clearance, 4 plugs engine, maintenance friendly, fit the budget perfectly, just make sure you get a good unit
Whenever you’re ready to get any vehicle generally you can always reach out to me on 08028992075
Why do people overlook Toyota Matrix? Is it not a good car or is the price on the high side?

Crime › Re: What The Police Are Not Allowed To Do During An Arrest by sonofthunder: 4:25pm On Jan 04
coputa:
What the Police are not allowed to do during an Arrest.

1). They CANNOT arrest you over civil matters
The police have no business arresting anyone because of:
debts
rent issues
boyfriend–girlfriend quarrels
business disagreements
“He insulted me”
Those are civil matters. The police exist for crime, not private disputes.

2). They CANNOT beat, slap, torture, or brutalize you
No officer has the right to “discipline” you.
Torture is illegal whether physical, verbal, or psychological. Even if you’re a suspect, you are still entitled to dignity under the law.

3). They CANNOT search your phone without your consent or a warrant
Your phone is private property. They cannot forcefully open your messages, read your chats,
go through your gallery, access your banking apps
unless there is a lawful basis like a court warrant or immediate suspicion connected to the crime they stopped you for.

4). They CANNOT detain you longer than 24–48 hours without charging you
They cannot keep you indefinitely. If there is evidence, charge you. If there is no evidence, release you. Keeping you beyond the constitutional time frame becomes unlawful detention.

5). They CANNOT refuse you access to your lawyer or family
You have the right to call a lawyer
speak with someone close to you, have legal representation during interrogation, blocking this right is unconstitutional.

6). They CANNOT force you to sign a statement
Not even “just write your side.” Not even “sign here.” Your statement must be voluntarily written by you, made without threat, pressure, or intimidation
If you’re not comfortable, you can say:
“I prefer to remain silent until my lawyer arrives.”

7). They CANNOT arrest you without telling you the reason
They must state the offence clearly.
You cannot be arrested based on guesswork, vibes, or “follow me to the station first.”

8.) They CANNOT search your body disrespectfully
Women must be searched by female officers.
No officer can conduct a degrading or inappropriate search the law forbids it.

9). They CANNOT use arrest as a tool of intimidation
Police power is for public safety not for settling scores, collecting “bail money,” or harassing citizens.

10). They CANNOT demand money for bail
Bail is FREE.
Whether the case is minor or serious. Any officer demanding money for bail is breaking the law.

Police officers have authority but that authority has boundaries. When you know those boundaries, you protect yourself because the difference between obedience and oppression is simply knowing your rights.

.
Legal update
They should be teaching this to all police officers on a daily basis.

so going for CROSSOVER is inversely proportional to being wayward?
Is attending crossover is directly proportional to be stagnated?

EvilNeedle:
Dear Nigerians, upon all the cross over services you went to all your life, how did it ever improve your life or destiny. As for me, it was always a waste of my time. I'm am successful today and that is as a result of God's help and not sabotaging my self with self inflicted injuries like bad choices in life and people. I went to numerous cross overs but it never improved my life in any form. I should've spent my time sipping wine at home. For the past 4 years, I havent gone to any crossover service and my life has been blissful.

Share your thoughts.
How did cross over service ever retrogress your life? How did living wayward help to progress your life?

This man's predicament just goes to show how useless our governments are. Local, state and Federal government - Legislative, executive and judiciary.

They really have nothing to offer us. We shouldn't forget that what we have here is a pardon. The man was actually convicted and sentenced to death.

..if the naira appreciate, strengthen and have value against the dollars..the price of fuel will go down and reduce..Like if the exchange rate is like from 500 naira to a dollar ..the price of fuel will go down to like 250 naira to a litre ..
Yes also true but we'll need serious improvement in manufacturing and massive increase in exportation to achieve this.
Business › Re: Dangote, Finally Explains Why His Cement Is Cheaper Outside Nigeria by sonofthunder: 4:20am On Dec 22, 2025
Truth is it will be great if prices of cement can come down significantly. The recent cost of housing from like last year hasn't been a joke for both renters and builders.

I personally fell it can still be cheaper but "capitalism" always takes care of "itself" first.

I also feel that fuel from the refineries should be around #500/litre but we won't get that unless there's a significant drop in prices internationally, or our production surpasses the need of the west African market

Jobs/Vacancies › Re: New Offer Letter After Working For A Year by sonofthunder: 6:55pm On Dec 19, 2025
WebLab:
Good evening, everyone.

Please, has anyone experienced this before? I joined this company earlier this year and I am spending a year with them already. Immediately I joined, I was given offer letter and other documents to sign which I did sign them immediately and send back to them. Last week, I got a mail from the HR to sign an updated JD which I signed and returned. Again this week, I got another mail from the HR to come to their office to pick offer letter. Offer letter after a year of work!

I am thinking something might be fishing. Please house, has anyone experienced this before because this is my first time of coming across this in about 10 years I have been working.

Your contribution and guidance will be much appreciated.
From comments so far, everything might be in line.

But are you entitled to pension and is it being paid to your pension account?
