AMvanquish:
How did he pass everybody and get to Enugu? Nigeria needs to ban some of these foreign nationals and flights from coming into the country, even if it's for a month or 2. At this kind of time, it is very high risk and dangerous. May God help us all.

He will most likely be suffering from common cold. But because you can only know by tests, he has to be isolated.

Thank God for our Ebola experience. We have mounted a robust response, unlike European countries that were asleep until the outbreak overtook them.

SocialJustice:
You have gone to court already. Ask your lawyer the court process for eviction. Do not do anything without the court when evicting her. She and her husband are just making mouth the typical Nigeria way. She will leave or could get arrested by xsquad policemen.

I repeat follow court process in evicting her.

The court bailiffs know what to do. They already have a judgement to work with.

Hell Rufai Is Like Follow Follow Dog

El-Rufai is not stupid.

One day, OBJ was bathing cold water during harmattan in prison. In a matter of months, he became president. El-Rufai knows that tomorrow is pregnant and anything can happen.

If SLS were to emerge president in the future, do you think he will forget El-Rufai, who has been the only governor sticking his neck out for him?

kingxsamz:
Even with all the churches in Nigeria, and the amount of miracles that are claimed to have happened, not even one pastor could cure this disease.
Even pastors are taking precautions, while feeding their gullible members Bull crap...
Scammers...

Which is better? To allow the disease run its course, infect people who can then be used to produce a vaccine, or to use prayer to heal everyone with no source of antigens with which a vaccine or cure can be developed?

Stop thinking and talking like a kid.

In 2020, a church is still administering communion from one cup.
Don't they teach these priests anything about hygiene?

they will enter Virtuals full time and that is where the full damage will be done.

What has the man done to deserve house arrest?

Make the whole world kukuma dey for house!

There are 22 million generators in active service in Nigeria. This is a ridiculously high amount and the environmental pollution it causes can best be imagined. Not to talk of the noise.

The ban will force everyone to go solar. Nigerians are very resistant to change, so sometimes these kinds of legislations need to be passed to enforce a change for the better.

These photographers have no manners.

One nearly fell on top of my elderly father trying to get a snapshot, during an uncle's wedding.

Every club in the NFL should have a mobile defibrillator. How can this happen again THIRTY ONE YEARS after Sam Okwaraji? Have we not lose too many players like this? Amir Angwe, Tunde Charity and the rest?

$29 a barrel for light crude. Naija is in serious trouble.

I am just waiting for the scandal of the century that will happen with this MBA Trading people. Only those who do not understand the structure of the market will entrust these guys with money. If it were in the US, the FBI and CFTC would have been looking at them very closely.

tomdon:
I never for once thought that he used a fake passport. And I think he's oblivious that it's fake.
He doesn't issue passports. The agent that processed it for them must be the culprit

Since when is a passport issued in proxy? Even the country I stay in, I had to present myself physically to get the residence card. No excuse.

0taPiaPia:
Why would he use a fake passport in the first place..

I thought I read somewhere he is owing money in Brazil and was not allowed to leave the country.

kevoh:
Please, would you be kind enough to drop the name of this requester. If you want to keep it private, you can send me the name to lekanovie@gmail.com

Message me and I will give you the name.

Nobody else should do same. I do not want my inbox flooded with silly requests.

Mrshape:
mine: I was not fired but I loss the job because of let me say greediness on my part.
I am a mathematics teacher I do private lessons,
So this woman called me for lesson, I billed her 100K per month (three times a week one hour thirty minutes each)

She begged for #60,000 I said no my last is 80K
(i don't know the spirit that was speaking on my behalf because I know that was not me, maybe the spirit of one of those motivational speakers saying never settle for less)

Because my current lessons are far below her offer at that time.

When I reach house the regret I have, I have never had that in my life, well, it was a lesson that helped me in future negotiations

You are wasting your skill. Do you know that Mathematicians are the ones who are programming the statistical models behind the high frequency trading algorithms used by Goldman Sachs and other big banks that make a killing trading the financial markets?

I nearly cried reading your story because I just see potentials wasting away!

philip0906:
It's not "luck". What stands you out, is your skill set, experience and your weave of programming architecture.

There are tons of programmers who just have the basic skill set (they fall in the category you described). They barely scrap through jobs because they're just basic. Just like any other job, you can't expect to just be basic and be getting tons of offers.

If you're programmer who has a blend of skillset, experience, mastered prog architecture, versatile in in-demand stack, you won't be needing any luck, you'll be spoilt for choice. On LinkedIn everyday, HRs are approaching individuals with offers by just going through their profiles.

There is a shortage of skilled programmers, the market is still under staffed.
Andela is pivoting business models to cater for Senior devs because that's what the market needs.

In Germany, there is an increasing need for experienced devs and they'll latch on you from anywhere in the world. Nigerians are been given offers week in, week out to relocate to Germany.

My colleague turned down a relocation offer to Hamburg because they did not match his pay demand. They had to match his demand before he put pen to paper. How many Nigerians have such opportunities to turn down relocation offer to a first world country? Guess what? This guy I am talking about, has ALL the skillset and stack plus experience to be able to bargain...he didn't need luck.

Please we need people like you to drill down such language into people's heads. People think Cristiano Ronaldo got to where he was based on luck. How many 35 year olds players are still delivering at such high level as he is? Even the great Zidane was done at 34 years.

You have to decide within yourself to stand out. Once you are good at what you do, even the so-called racist countries will become colour-blind.

boiz2men:
I was trying to pity them. They offered to rent one for me. They asked me to find one. I told them my place was comfortable. I'm sure they felt I was not a serious person.

Trying to pity someone who was ready to pay you 28,000 British pounds (not even dollars) per year as a remote worker?

Your village people got you real good. Listen.

I knew Akin Alabi of Nairabet from years back before he even hammered. He told me one thing I will never forget: never cheapen the value of your product!

Ever since that day, I charge clients premium rates. You could have been the work hub coordinator, setting the rates paid for accommodation and other expenses.

That's why God said that His people are destroyed not for lack of prayer and fasting, but KNOWLEDGE!

Oh! Na wa!

boiz2men:
I got a remote too but the guy told me to find a hub they can pay for.

I told him my house was comfortable.

That was how I lost it.. 28k pounds

Why did you not source an office accommodation and bill them for it?

newinventions:
Bro don't waste your time with Nairalander youth. The way they think is inexplicable.

Our education system don do us something. They send out youth that no longer believe in themselves.

I have long given up on trying to bail people out of the mindset of poverty. A neighbour of mine is earning 5000 euros a month as a python programmer and someone is telling me that no foreign company can pay 750K. What is 750K? $2000 wey some company top wigs use for lunch.

Smithkafors:
Lol,that's small money to him.Just have an opportunity to meet him one on one and smile to the bank.The many is not stingy with money and he pays cash most of the time.

When a man has more than 20 oil wells, what is 500K? He probably spends more than that on lunch.

There is a kind of alert you will receive and your life will never remain the same.

Technology has made everything so easy. My undergraduate exams were prepared for with lots of books on the table. The last certification exam I wrote, I literally revised using my smartphone. Amazing!

CokeBar:
Share your experience with us if you have ever been fired. It would be better if we can share:

1. Why we were fired?
2. How did the firing process happen?
3. Aftermath of being fired… how did you feel, have you recovered, did you get something better?

So, I’ll start:

Sometimes last year, I got an unbelievable offer (well above #750k) at a remote company. I bought a PC, subscribed for large data and set-up a workspace. On Monday which was resumption day, I turned on my PC, logged in and started the online meeting… everything went well for the first day and I got introduced to my colleagues. My friend and I actually got employed for same position, so we usually chatted while working. To be onboarded, we had to install a productivity monitoring tool on our PCs, we were told everything we did on the PC would be captured if the tool was turned ON but I really don’t know why I cared less.

On Wednesday same week, we had a short and simple test, during the test, I asked my friend for an answer as I wasn’t so sure, he responded and that was it.

On Thursday, I had a quick one-on-one call with my manager, I was fired. Apparently, I wasn’t supposed to ask for assistance while taking the test. I apologized but the answer was a straight NO (you sabi how oyinbo people strict). So in other words, I was sacked because I cheated ☹.

Well, they paid me for the few days I worked �

I have experienced other sad situations, but this has to be the worst. I was so depressed, the following Sunday, I went to Church and it was while Pastor asked us to greet our neighbor, I remembered I didn’t brush… LMAO.

Now, I got something with abit lesser pay but still very chilled

Keep disgracing Nigeria everywhere. You think the standards in Nigeria are the same abroad where you cut corners and cheat at every turn to have your way. Serves you right. You will learn a hard lesson about this.

blowjohn:
Why are chinese people still coming into Nigeria not quarantined?

Why are they coming at all?

They themselves have banned certain nationals from entering China.

A guy opened a thread about ladipo boys selling stolen vehicle parts https://www.nairaland.com/5720382/ladipo-market-traders-aid-us and this made me remember my ordeal some years ago I think 2014/2015.

I was a site manager with a construction firm, DELABAS construction.

For those who knows mushin very well, this site is close to mushin last bus stop, adjacent FCMB agege motor road mushin, very close to ladipo madket. There is this brand new lexus rx330 from the look of things, it was bought brand new and from the way I looked at it, maybe 4-5months used. It was parked at the front of our site but I didn't notice on time. It was there for like 3days,but my believe was that maybe the owner just come there and park it everyday very early before I get to site though even when I close from site, I still leave it there.

On the third day, the woman selling paraga beside the site called my attention to it that the key is at the keyhole and the car hasn't moved for the past three days. Some ladipo boys were there to drink so two of them came close to me and said engineer, shey u Sabi drive? I said yes, if u fit carry this motor come ladipo, na 2million you go collect.

Now this is the issue, at the back of our site is olosan police station, before u get to ladipo, there is another police station before bally white hotels,

I thought about it seriously and I decided to go inform them at olosan police station and when the police came, I was even the one that drove the car to the police station.

Two days later, I got to know the suv belong to the chairman of bluegate ups, he was robbed and the driver was killed, they used the vehicle as a getaway and coincidentally parked it at the front of our site.

I heard the man gave the policemen about 100k dem no share me Sha but anytime dey see me, they always hail me and it gave me some leverage in, mushin.

Now twist, what if I agree with the ladipo guys and the car is being tracked or police just stopped me on my way to ladipo, what will I tell them?

Below is the picture of the site back then when it was under construction.
When u look closely u will see the FCMB bank.

If you had agreed with them then that makes you a criminal yourself. Is the car your own?

Some things should not even be contemplated.

Hello Nairalanders.

He rough handled me on my first visit to his house, claims to want a serious relationship. Can he really be serious about being serious or he is just a play boy?

So I met this guy about two weeks ago close to my street. He calls but I hardly pick. Eventually, I picked and he asked if he could pick me after work and we hangout. I accepted. He picked me up after work last week Friday. He was quite interesting and funny, he talked freely like he had known me for years but he was really so touchy, I had barely spent 5 minutes in the car and he was already touching my shoulder and even when we were inside the bar, he tried tickling me, at a point, he put his hands close to my waist, I removed it. We both discussed if we had someone we are currently seeing, I am not seeing anyone which is the truth, he said there is an Ex but they just have sex and she has her own relationship. When he was dropping me off, he asked for a close hug, I hugged him and he wanted to pull me closer and kiss. I broke free and got down. He said I am not nice.

Well, we met again on Monday, I took just water intentionally. This time I minded the distance between us. He wanted to see again on Tuesday, I declined. Then at work yesterday, he asked to see after closing. I told him he can come briefly to my work and we can talk a bit in the car and part ways. He said he would like to host me at his house instead, I declined.

Anyway, he came, I got in and he started driving and saying, I will know his house today and besides his phone battery his low. My mood changed immediately and he tried to guilt trip me and said okay should we stop on the road and get a place to charge his phone. I then told him to continue driving to his house. He stopped on the way and got snacks. We got into his house. It was nice and neat.

Then we were watching a movie, he sat down and placed my leg on his, I was cool with this. Then he made moves to kiss and I declined and pulled away. All of a sudden, he started breathing fast, hugged me so tight and kissed me despite I kept pulling away and didn't kiss back. I am weak when it comes to my Bosom, then he got there and gave me the roughest and painful squeezing I have ever experienced. I haven't been with any man in about 7 months now, I am single and It's hard for me to do a little thing as even kissing randomly. So he got me there when he got to my bosom but it took only just few seconds to snap out. He continued panting and begging for me to reciprocate, he is so hard and hasn't felt this way in a while.

I told him I don't want this, he went in frustrated, stamping his feet, I tot he had agreed, only for him to come back naked and saying okay, he has heard no sex and "I don't want to force you", so he asked for a dry hump and wanted me to turn my back. I didn't. He still kept breathing hard, like he wont survive the next minute. Then he started begging for a Mouth Action. I declined and told him I wasn't up for that. I tried pulling, away and getting angry. He became even more aggressive, removed the hands I used to protect my chest and forced his way into my bra. It was a struggle and then back to begging till I made it clear in a thunder voice for him to stop and take me home.

Then he agreed, wore his cloths and kept complaining that I don't know what I have caused and he wont be himself. We left his house and he tried stopping at a Pharmacist and said he needs to get ibuprofen, then he didn't stop again and just continued driving.

This morning, he is apologizing and repeating the things he said when we got to his house that he wants something serious with me and he wants us to start something and want it to work out. He asked to come see me at work today but I declined. With this red flags, is there a possibility that he is truly serious like he said? Or he is just doing the usual lies to get the cookie and go away. He has a nice ride and nice house, I suspect he may have girls around him. My concern isn't all these, I just want to be with a serious man who is in for commitment and not just sex.

He rough handled me on my first visit to his house, can he be sincere about wanting to be serious?

How can he be serious? That's not love, that's lust. Once he has sucked the orange he will discard it and seek another.

MrBrownJay1:
so Wayne Rooney now plays for Derby... ?!

Na there im dey collect pension ooo.

McGg:
He should bow to him because umahi have done more than him

Umahi has put him to shame. All the abandoned road projects have all been completed, from Abuomege to Afikpo, or the road to Ikwo and other roads in the state to the resurfacing of all roads within AI. Let me not even talk about the beautification projects. All completed on reduced allocation in 3 years, which Elechi in 8 years could not do when oil was $120 per barrel.

He is lucky. Umahi is supposed to ask barbers to shave the old man's head with a bottle, after all he did to ensure Umahi did not emerge.

The geographical restructuring has started by itself.

What kind of madness is this?
