Fineman2: corruption in Venezuela has made the country very poor despite the huge oil money.
Venezuela's problem is not corruption rather like Cuba, it is the punitive unilateral sanctions place on all their sectors that is the problem. That is why even though they have the World's largest reserve, it remains largely untapped. Just search their daily production capacity to confirm this my point.
Be informed before you speak please. Read up on Venezuela. President Hugo Chavez laid down a very solid governance system with one of the World's best democratic electoral voting system and many other things.
papyjaypaul: This one is not matter of fight, life is not fair to men but we need to know how to mange the female species. When I was younger, papa used to tell me about women, then I was clinging on to women because women will always be partial. As a man, I can now see what he said. You have to handle women in their game.
This people will not stay there forever but let me tell you one thing, the moment you say one thing, that is what they will never forget and remember you for. They will not remember all the free feeding he was doing.
Are you saying that my family is hungry
Are we bothering you
Okay i will use my money.
The thing can turn anyhow. Imagine the family now buying their things or the guy sending them out claiming tough guy. I have had guys who did that, they sent family away, it never ends well. In laws are like boardroom politics, let him manage them well. They know themselves better than he thinks he knows them. A man must draw boundaries but in drawing boundaries, he should remember he still needs them in the future. This is just the first pregnancy.
I get all you explained. But in life you don't have to always enslave yourself to others just because you are afraid of what they will say.
If his in-laws are equally afraid of what he will say or think about them, thay would have been at least considerate and use their conscience.
In situations like this, you consider a middle point where the action you take will not be too disastrous but still effective in solving the situation.
papyjaypaul: OP apply sense to this case as I have advised you. People saying that a woman will not tolerate your own family for long time, of course, it is what it is. Women grew up with their families before they married you. They will never be comfortable living with in laws compared to their own family they have lived with since birth. It's common sense, manage in laws carefully. You need them and they will solve things you alone cannot. They should not take advantage of you but also take a look at what they are doing and it will help you. If you go abroad, to have family scarce so manage what you have. Is there something the siblings are doing that mama cannot? There may be some family things you do not understand that they are doing to help her that you cannot see but it is only the food part you are looking at.
Manage them carefully.
You just forgot that the man himself grew up with his own family and more comfortable with them! Does that means he should invite his mom and two of his siblings to come and join them right now?
You guys should learn to balance your views when commenting on issues like this.
Op should just greatly reduce the amount of provisions he makes available at home with the complain that he is low of funds and have even taken loans at his work place and hence the next salary will be half of what he normally earns and this applies to next five months salaries. And watch the said in-laws find their way.
HanisahZuwy: They later sold the property at the rate of 1m. The buyer is so lucky honestly. Few days after buying the house, he has already loaded blocks everywhere and trip of sand. He wants to erect a self-con in the space just in front of the house. The foundation has even been dug. All these even while the former owners are still there. Even the plantain trees in front of the house, he just cleared everything. All these happening just some days after buying the property. For the man mind, make the people no come change their mind say them no go sell again, hahahaha! I no blame am sha. It was a good buy.
Techie25: The signature is of the person impersonating him.
In that case, it is not an issue of impersonation. I guess there is a legal lacuna that can probably make this legal and you can confirm this by consulting with lawyers.
Techie25: So my good friend and coursemate who is about to divorce after few years of marriage sent me this, I'd love to know your opinion and if it's legal to proceed.
" I'm trying to divorce my husband behind his back in a customary court using the traditional marriage. I'm told I can get someone to impersonate him and collect the court order from the bailiff and sign it. Then not appear in court during the court hearing it will be said he didn't show up because he is no longer interested in the marriage and has given his consent when he signed the court order. Making me the only person to appear in Court. Till judgment is passed. Then the verdict will be sent to him. "
So, I need advise and clarity on this. my question is, How legal is this? Hope it doesn't cause a problem in the long run?
Will the signature be a forged one or the signature will be that of the person impersonating him?
Anyway, that is impersonation and if he can get a lawyer to prove he is innocent of the alledged signing of the document, you will be guilty of impersonation!
Go into DJ or MC or Comedy depending on your preference. As you become good at it, you will make a lot of connections and contacts while earning a living and making some savings from what you are doing.
Overtime, you would have saved enough, meet relevant people that will give you the needed pathway to a good recoding studio to work with.
Note: Many successful musicians didn't just start out by getting the big recoding contracts. Many followed the path I just pointed out to you while some first work with other musicians as backup singers e.g Majek Fashek was once an unknown backup singer.
Since I started following this minimum wage stuff and from my experience and observation, the labour union in Nigeria only concerns itself with the private sector welfare and even the government both the federal/state don't care about the welfare of the private sector workers too.
This means that the minimum wage is supposed to apply to all sectors of the economy but the level of the private sector implementation of it is very low and nobody cares if they implement it or not. Suffice to say that even most state and local governments don't implement.
Although if you can afford to pay it, I will encourage you to do so.
Fcold: A Tiktoker posted the video online of the elderly carpenter looking fragile and trying to just survive.. In a goodwill, The Bayern Lerverkusen forward man chatted up the guy who posted the video and requested to send the elderly man some money.. God bless him so much.. What are your thoughts on this
How does he follow up to make sure the man gets the #1.5m ...
There supposed be no need for advice on this issue because the coast is clear.
First and foremost, cut off that friend of yours. Then do the DNA test. If it confirm you are the biological father of the child or children, warn your woman for the last time to keep her slate clean henceforth since it appears no clear evidence yet. But inform her that this is your last efforts to make things work.
Note that if she is a chronic cheat, she might move on to another man, so spelt it out that any form of such things, you are out of the relationship.
Quintessence44: A Nigerian woman got to Brazil with nothing, but has built a street business selling Nigerian cuisine, and now sees long lines of people queuing for HOURS to buy her food, in Rio De Janeiro. The narrator is an Afro-American vlogger who was himself searching for the Nigerian joint, and then he found it.......See crowd!
RoadMozart: One of the should have a unique birth mark. Could be on the shoulder, back, neck or anypart. A small spot to differentiate them.
And with time you'll be able to identify them by just looking at their faces. One will look younger or darker than the other.
The simplest and harmless method should be their hair cut style. If you have started barbing their hair, next time tell the barber to give them different styles. This should be maintained henceforth.
For a start, snap them after the hair cut and use an image editor in your phone to write their names on the pictures. Whenever you are confused, just glance through that picture and their hair style will help you easily identify them again.
meobizy: Somebody typed Zenith Bank and Access Bank. It’s true. I found out from browsing the internet. No thanks to Nairaland.
That is just it. Although my own judgement is not based on any awards they have received but from my satisfaction in using them.
Out of the five banks I have used, the two I mentioned above plus Zenith, Fidelity and UBA, I will always rate those two higher than these other three any time, any day.
Although my best two have a not so good one thing in common; their branches are not many.
meobizy: Nairaland is very useless. I opened the same thread a week back and it got deleted. Whenever somebody needs real help, the moderators frustrate the person. The site is only for tribal wars and similar forms of trolling.
Not just that. Even the people that comment hardly do that in good faith. Just look the majority of the comments above and conclude if they will be helpful to the op.
