BusinessRe: Why Investors Shun Nigeria, By World Bank by swiftycool(m): 2:08pm On Aug 12, 2011
NEPA is Naija's no.1 curse. Cost of production doubles or even triples when u use generators 2 generate yr own electricity. Even as a Nigerian it is wiser to invest in a company operating in Ghana where deres constant electricity to get good returns on investment. so sorry ill pass

PoliticsRe: 2 Year Rents Banned In Lagos, Landlords To Be Jailed For 3 Years. by swiftycool(m): 6:57pm On Aug 06, 2011
It is absolutely false that you cannot sign a contract for more than one year as some lady said earlier on. A lease agreement has no stipulation and is agreed by d lesee and lessor. hence a tenant willing to lease a flat 4 even 5 years is not doing anything illegal neither is a landlord who accepts such a proposition. edogirl and eko ile, pls get your facts right. rentage is different from leasing
PoliticsRe: 2 Year Rents Banned In Lagos, Landlords To Be Jailed For 3 Years. by swiftycool(m): 10:31am On Aug 06, 2011
Good as this law seems, it is important 2 note dat an amicably agreed contract btw landlord & tenant has d power to legally superseed existing tenancy laws; meaning if a tenant is willing to pay even over 2yrs, the landlord cannot stop him. it will all come to survival of d fittest or in this case d richest.
Also since"build to let"4 landlords now has a longer payback period i see a likelihood of price hike, a deviation of landlords to comercial leasing or sales, unless govt starts providing alternatives

PoliticsRe: Nigerians In The Diaspora Have No Responsibility To The Development Of Nigeria. by swiftycool(m): 2:32pm On Jul 28, 2011
The Nigerian government is double mouthed when it comes to issue of diasporans relocating to help develop Nigeria. Take d NYSC issue 4 example, quite a lot of Naijas brilliant  inventors, technocrats & professionals excelling in their feild outside d country have completely rejected the idea of going back to Naija becos they never did NYSC 4 one reason or d other hence relocating might earn them being faced with criminal charges or even being alienated from contributing their quota. So they cant give a 4uk

FamilyRe: DNA DILEMA!!! What do u advise he does? by swiftycool(op): 1:32pm On Jul 19, 2011
All that was over seven years ago. In June this year (last month), I travelled to Naija for business and came across Emeka in Lagos at the local airport where he now works, we got talking and he opened up to me with a very disturbing story. He had met two of our former housemates five months ago who had seen him with his son on different occasions when he travelled to the old city to see his in-laws and they joked that his boy looked like one of our then co-tenant who happened to be the landlady’s semi-literate steward. A few months later he had run into the former landlady herself while on a similar trip with his son and she made a similar thought provoking comment amongst other jokes when she saw the little boy; “this boy is a carbon copy of Ikoedem my house help!” She’d laughed. This got Emeka thinking and he decided to visit the old house where Ikoedem the former co-tenant still lived.

When Emeka got there he saw the old house it still looked a bit as it had been but for the little repainting and few renovations and the memories came back to him of his days years ago in the house when he was jolted back to his senses by a voice; Mekuuus!, he turned around and saw who called him and was shocked by the perfect resemblance of his eight year old son to this person. It was Ikoedem looking more matured now, as he was just about 16 when Emeka had left the house.

The shock took quite some time to wear off his face and enable him re-comport himself, so many questions like those in your own minds right now were running through his mind; could it be that he had disrupted his life and gone through all the trouble for something he was innocent of? His heart boiled with anger not really for ikoedem but for his wife and the child if thing were as he imagined.
Back to our meeting, after Emeka’s narration of this ordeal, he told me he has not betrayed his thoughts to his wife yet but she knows something is amiss. However he also wants to give her the benefit of doubt; perhaps this strong resemblance might just be a coincidence, he trusted and still trusts his wife with all his heart.


Now Nairalanders , I intend to advise him on the step to take but I need your help. Should he question her directly about the issue, which she is likely to deny or should he just go for a DNA test with the boy which though he knows is expensive he claims is worth every penny as it would bring him out of his current disturbed state. And then if the results or the answer goes the wrong way what do you suggest he does? Remember, his dreams were destroyed because of this issue 8 +years ago.
Cheers

FamilyDNA DILEMA!!! What do u advise he does? by swiftycool(op): 1:31pm On Jul 19, 2011
Emeka was a co-tenant of mine way back in Nigeria who moved in to the building I rented as a 100 level undergraduate several years ago with his girlfriend. I remember he was a very funny guy, very friendly and nice company too. I also remember the big embarrassment and the trials he went through when his live in girlfriend became pregnant and her dad a naval officer arranged for him to be picked up and locked up in a cell for three weeks after the discovery. He was forced to bring his family to rush the marriage rites and accept her as his wife since it was obvious he was the father of her child.


The girl was in a way abandoned to his care by her family after the wedding to take care of her needs till she had the baby. Being a student, he had to struggle to make ends meet. He deferred his admission while in the second semester of the 3rd year of his five year engineering course. I helped him get a job as a part time okada rider, while he worked in a shop as a barber just to make ends meet. But within a few months he moved out of the house we shared, saying he had gotten somewhere cheaper to afford him save better for his family.


Most times when he came to ask for money from guys, myself inclusive, we were quick to judge him for being careless and having impregnated a girl he wasn’t married to; however what always amazed me was that he always swore that he had only slept with the girl less than 10 times and always timed her cycle and used an airtight condom in all situations; I just think it was destined to happen he always said as he went away baring his cross. The last time I saw Emeka was I think around 2003, two years before my graduation from uni, he cut my hair in the salon he jointly owned by him and two others and insisted I didn’t pay. He looked a wretch and had completely dropped out of Uni to work to enable him pay his wife’s fees and complete her bride price as well as take care of his 11month old son. I really felt pity for him though, I thanked him and left.
