Hey Guys,

So I had an appointment which made me come to school early today, after that I headed to my class, as I walked in tears dropped my eyes, the memories of how crazy my class was during my undergraduate in Naija just came to my mind.

Take a look at a class and washroom and see the difference in the garbage we have back home. A school with every amenities u could ever think of,, name it . But in 9ja all we do is to glorify politicians that are illiterate, incompetent, corrupt and clueless, imagine the kind of president we have in this 21st century coupled with the cabals, how do we move forward?

Let me not talk of TRIBALISM AND ETHNIC BIGOTRY sef.. Well I won't say much, I am happy I left and I am cool but winter will soon come I will only think of Naija if I wanna come to see my Mum and siblings.

We need to do better in that country. Imagine a country with educated elites and see who is ruling us. And worst of it is that many Nigerian youths focus on irrelevant things probably scared of being picked up if they talk. If our government was responsible and accountable we would have had a better place.

Most times the weird and barbaric news I read here its saddening. It wasn't as bad as this when GEJ was in power but we won't accept the truth.

Say whatever u want to say but it doesn't concern me until I decide to come home briefly, I am only speaking for the good of all.

May God help Us.. Peace!

Did they Cordon off the Works?
Any caution tape?
Did they put warning signs?
Any traffic management?
Did they have a safety officer on site?
Do they have a proper EHS policy?
Did they close down the road?


It is just that this is Nigeria and the job is probably direct labour or paddy paddy. If you cannot demonstrate that you adopted best safety practices, you are liable. So what if it was a child the pole fell on?

Car parked at owners risk is a disclaimer for commercial premises. It is to absolve them of liability if the car is broken into or vandalized. It does not apply in this case

Have an accident on your site in a petrol station and all your paper better be in order.

Lawyers abroad can take on cases with an agreement to share the monies paid out to the plaintiff. Not sure if we do that here. Note that the longer you wait, the more difficult it will be


Your questions above are not relevant in the instant case. The simple reason being that it wouldn't have stopped the damage. It would probably have been different if eg someone fell inside the dug gutter.

The fact that this is Naija, or that it is direct labour or paddy paddy does not and cannot be a defence to escape liabilty.. If the pole had fallen on a child or anybody, the point is, to claim damages, you must prove that the person/company u are sueing caused it by his action or inaction or actually fell the pole on u, that he owes u that duty of care. Eg. If u park your car under a coconut tree and a coconut fell off on your windscreen and broke it, who will you sue? NOBODY.

Lawyers in Naija infact do "pro bono" do cases free of charge. And sometimes just recover their money spent on client's case as well as the agreed fees. I wouldn't call it sharing money.

Most people don't know that freeze is actually an anti Christ agent. They usually start like Christians themselves seeking to correct anomalies in the body of Christ until their real motive start showing where they are attacking everything done in the faith

Good morning Nairalanders.
Please help a fellow with an advice this morning.

So, two weeks ago my landlord came to the compound, and said the caretaker who was handling the building for him was no longer in charge that they have parted ways.

Then we all complained of the state of affairs between tenants and how only some of us have been shouldering the responsibilities of repairs, and others are never contributing.

For the records, there are only four flats, two up and two down.

In his response, he said he was disappointed that we were not cooperating as neighbors.

Without proffering any solution, he left only for him to come this morning with quit notice for all for tenants.

That we should pack out two months after expiration of our various rent.

Now it should be noted that I have never owned him rent, and we pay yearly.

My current rent will expire April 30th 2019.

Now my question is this.

Is that how quit notices are served?

Is it right to give a tenant that pays yearly rent just two months to pack out?

I have never been involved with this landlord/tenant wahala, so don't know the best action to take.

Please legal people in the house, I need your advice.

Your advice will be very helpful in my next line of action.

God bless you all.


Help a brother by pushing it for me.

I am a legal Practitioner. I have read some very misleading advice here yet with several likes.
A yearly tenant is entitled to a clear six months notice to quit. It can be issued to a tenant inrespective of whether he is in arrears of rent or not but it must not end before the expiration of his current rent if he is not owing rent.
Key word here is CLEAR MONTHS, SIX MONTHS NOTICE FOA A YEARLY TENANT, AND YOU DONT HAVE TO BE OWING BEFORE YOU CAN BE ISSUED A QUIT NOTICE AND THE QN MUST NOT EXPIRE B4 YOUR RENT IF NOT OWING..
