Penny wise... Pound foolish!!
Just send her packing and lease out the house, it will yield profit in return for you. That would have been the best pay back!

Most probably he bought the land in her name, so it might not be possible to claim ownership of the property. He might only be able to claim items he bought for the house.

BLOODYSPERM:
Shut your mouth
Even globalist and elite loving romney knows and can't deny Trump's popularity (within the Republican Party)
But stupid leftist who want an idealized version of the Republican party will continue to call us cultist

Such Stupors
Nonsense

Trump still have about 80% popularity rating among republicans, so Romney is only stating the obvious.

Meanwhile Trump's overall approval rating never went above the 49% mark. In fact Trump posted one of the worst approval rating average in US history.

BUSHYANUS:
Acts 7:59
And they stoned Stephen as he was calling on God and saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”


This is like saying

...As he was calling on the President and saying, " Mr. Buhari, have mercy on me."

What do you think?

Let me get theological a bit today.

First of all, Jesus at no time claimed he is God, this was a claim by some of his followers after his death. It was the council in nicea in 325AD that elevated Jesus to a diety. Even at that the nicean creed made a distinct difference between God Almighty and jesus the only begotten son of God.

Secondly, non of Jesus's disciples who knew him personally refered to him as God. They called him master or teacher, but never God.

Thirdly, the verse quoted was in third person's narrative. It was not written by Stephen himself, but by someone who claimed to hear Stephen and then told others, who eventually told the writer of Acts of the apostles who was then writing the story for Theophilus.

The Director never mentioned Trump once. Is Trump also responsible for Oxford vaccine? Bloody faux news liars trying to give scientific credit to an amoeba brained bleach drinking doofus when he wasn't mentioned.

What is your malady Trumpanzee? You must have a problem just like other deplorables who have been found to either have teeny weeny, 7 year University carryovers, or grinding poverty that forced them into corporate begging. Another one cannot even pay up a N50K bet. We go soon find wetin dey worry you join.

So you don't know that Trump is responsible for every coronavirus vaccine created by every country in the world? Trump's operation warp speed is responsible for Sinopharm the Chinese vaccine and Sputnik V the Russians vaccine that has 95% efficacy. Trump according to his woshippers is greater than Jesus.

Check out the Nazerite vows where Jews showed their piety through abstaining from cutting their hair and drinking wine.

Are you a jew before we when talk about being a Nazarite? Even Jews in Israel have abandoned all those ancient cultures and practices.

LandMann:
Religion is the root of many evils in this country and it is the first thing I'll ban from all public life if I get the chance to lead Nigeria.

We focus so much on irrelevant things in the name of religion and lose sight of the fact that our country is getting shitier by the day despite the garment of holiness many of us pretend to put on.

As long as your hair doesn't promote evil, promote immorality, hurt others or cause them to do bad things you can carry any hairstyle you want

Christianity was the the most effective weapon the Europeans employed in conquering Africans and South Americans. And when I said conquering, I meant not just physical conquest, but also mental, spiritual and cultural conquest. Imagine, we bow before white gods and goddesses, we speak white languages, think like white men, bleach our skin and hair to look white. It will take us thousands of years to free ourself of mental slavery.

The conquestidors did not teach us technology, they did not teach us agriculture, they did not teach us to be self sufficient. They taught us to speak their language and to worship their gods, so that we will forever be dependent on them for survival.

The whites are landing machines on Mars, they are creating new vaccines to cure novel diseases. We on the other hand are fasting and praying, while begging them to dash us vaccines to cure us from dying out.
And most ridiculous of all, we are more obsessesd with researching which hairstyles are good for christians.

I think you should read again what you put up there and tell me why Xibiden, Quid Pro Joe (your dear leader) cancelled the Keystone Pipeline project that's supposed to bring cheap crude to Americans, as masterfully crafted by Trump.

I avoid arguing with right wing extremists, that miss characterise themseves as conservatives. It's like arguing with a broken record player. you guys just keep repeating your outrageous conspiracy theories ad nauseam.

The Keystone project had been very controversial for decades. Biden had promised to cancel it once he gets into power.

Here are some of the controversies;

Keystone oil spill casts doubt on the safety of proposed Keystone XL pipeline
Living on Earth November 28, 2019 ·

On Oct. 29, 2019, a nearly 400,000-gallon oil spill was discovered in the Keystone pipeline system in North Dakota. The spill inundated a wetland with heavy crude oil mined from the Alberta tar sands.

In addition to the risk the pipeline poses to waterways, a federal judge in Montana ruled last year that the State Department had not adequately analyzed the risk of oil spills to endangered species, Hayes says. A leak anywhere along the pipeline would have significant impacts on species that live along the route.

Read the full report - https://www.pri.org/stories/2019-11-28/keystone-oil-spill-casts-doubt-safety-proposed-keystone-xl-pipeline

Another issue with the Keystone project was strong opposition from the Native Americans who have filed several law suits against the project.

Native American Tribes File Lawsuit Seeking To Invalidate Keystone XL Pipeline Permit September 10, 2018

In a new bid to stop the Keystone XL pipeline, two Native American communities are suing the Trump administration, saying it failed to adhere to historical treaty boundaries and circumvented environmental impact analysis. As a result, they are asking a federal judge in Montana to rescind the 2017 permit and block any further construction or use of the controversial pipeline.

As NPR's Bill Chappell reported, in 2015, the State Department, which has jurisdiction over transnational oil pipelines, "rejected a permit for the Keystone XL pipeline." The following year, President Barack Obama "ordered work halted on the Dakota pipeline after Native American groups and other activists protested its route near culturally sensitive sites in North Dakota."
https://www.npr.org/2018/09/10/646523140/native-american-tribes-file-lawsuit-seeking-to-invalidate-keystone-xl-pipeline-p

Please note that the project Biden cancelled was not the whole Keystone project but the Keystone XL which is another pipeline altogether.

Perhaps you are right. But we deal with the facts. Germany is an advanced 1st world country that many Europeans and Americans cannot match their tech prowess. That said, these charts below tell us all something.

1. Renewables will basically be an addition to the power mix for most countries for several years to come.
2. When base power supply sources (coal, oil and natural gas) dips, strangely, renewable energy production also dips - there is a reason for that. Most of what drives these "renewables" depend on base power supply sources.
3. There will never be a situation in the world, where we can achieve 100% renewable power supply.

So, the "adventure" of going completely green is impossible. The best we can achieve is a world where we have a mix of energy sources - and that will definitely outlast you.

It's not possible for a country to have only once source of energy. That would be the height of craziness. It means if that sole source of energy fails, the whole country would suffer an energy crisis. Countries design and energy mix according to their specific peculiarities. It involves renewables such as hydro, solar, wind, thermal and then non renewables such as coal, oil and gas. There is also nuclear which is becoming increasingly viable with advancing technology. Right thinking people are promoting more of clean energy (those with little or no co2 and other green house emissions) and discouraging the use of dirty hydrocarbon sources of energy for the future. This cannot be done in an instant. China that is the leading promoter of clean energy is also still the highest use of dirty energy (coal). Everything is for future projections.
We can't wait until the full catastrophic effects of green house gasses hit us before we start planning.

sanpipita:
Lol and so what? is GOP not divided? Didn't Trump and Mitch write articles against themselves, ain't MAGAs threatening to deal with RINOs in coming primaries.

CNN are basically reporting what's happening in the party, let GOP put their house in order let's see how CNN will manufacture divisions

Don't mind the wailers. They have a lot of wailing to do the next 4 years. Was it CNN that cause vice president Pence and president Trump to not be on speaking terms the final weeks of their term?
Was it CNN that screamed ""Hang Mike Pence" on January 6th during the capitol riots.

Was it CNN that force over 10 republican cabinet members to resign from the Trump administration followings the Trump inspired insurgency of January 6th?

Was it CNN that forced most senior republicans members including Congress members and governors to condemn president Trump after the January 6th capital riots.

CNN must be very powerful for dividing the once mighty GOP.

basilico:
Don't know what ignoramus taught you that. A fossil fueled plant has a rating of how much power to produce. Comes down to how much fuel to burn.
A hydro only needs a certain amount of 'head" and volume to ensure rated generation power.
A nuclear plant only needs a certain amount of nuclear fuel to produce rated power.

Solar needs sun. When it's cloudy the solar plant can't produce it's rated power.
Wind plants. Can't produce rated power when wind changes direction or it's not windy. Stuff man can't fix only optimize.

Load flow optimization requires a lot of knowledge. When the renewable sources are not producing their rated power , the grid requires traditional sources to kick in during peak demands. In other words renewables are vulnerable to weather vulgaries and are not reliable.They need traditional power generation sources.
But as long as we are not producing power from fossils the left is happy.Its a feel good orgasmic feeling for the left.

Conservativism in the 70s and 80s was all about quality above quantity. Then it was about qualitactive education as against quantitative that was promoted by socialists then. But now republicans have turned conservatism upside down. Their new age conservatism is all about hatred of any policies the Democrats and liberals support. In fact it's about hatred of liberals, socialists, democrats, nothing more. It more about promoting ignorance and anti science. No wonder most flat earthers are republicans.

Now in power generation, there is what is called installed capacity and generated capacity. Even shit hole Nigeria has an installed capacity of about 12,000MW, but only generates 4,000 MW most of the time. So for Republicans to attribute the system failure to a mere 10% failure of wind turbines is not only stupid, it shows how ignorant republicans and their supporters are. Over 50% of texas power is generated by oil and gas. That means in an ideal world oil and gas only should be able to meet the demands of the state, assuming an installed capacity of 100%. The fact that even oil and gas failed means the whole power design was faulty from the beginning.

No, The Blackouts In Texas Weren't Caused By Renewables. Here's What Really Happened

This week, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott appeared on local TV in Dallas and blamed the state's power crisis on the devastating storm that disrupted power generation and froze natural gas pipelines.

He didn't single out one power source to blame. Then he went on Fox News and gave a different story.

"Wind and solar got shut down," he said. "They were collectively more than 10% of our power grid, and that thrust Texas into a situation where it was lacking power on a statewide basis."

But this focus on windmills ignores the evident fact that — as Abbott acknowledged on local TV — every kind of power generation fell short in this storm.

In fact, significantly more natural gas and coal went offline than renewables. But that doesn't suggest fossil fuels were uniquely to blame either — they were responsible for more production, so it's no surprise they were the source of more failures.

Grid operators say it simply doesn't make sense to pinpoint any one generation source for criticism.

Republicans are the epitome of incompetence and ignorance. Texas decided to generate its own power and they failed catastrophically, but the governor in one breadth is blaming democrats for the green new deal and wind turbines, and in another is blaming their equipments freezing over. Mind you wind turbines generates only 10% of total power in Texas.

See the report here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NY2eqCjuJzE

Texas is the only state that decided to do it alone and cut off from the national grid and Texas is the only state with system failure. And Texas is not even the closest to the artic circle. What do you then expect from states and other countries on the arctic? Alaska should be back in the ice age.

basilico:
Salford, I mentioned in passing that fossil fueled helicopters are being used to spray chemicals on wind turbines.
Long live non renewable sources

Why was fossil fuel not being used to power gas and diesel turbines to generate electricity for a state that produces close to half of all crude production in the US?

Nateevs2:


This here my people, is a typical idiotic Trumptard Zombie who openly declares that Trump does not deceive and lie and doesn't make false promises.

Some people will say they live in an Alternative Universe. I just say they are mad.

What's the difference between living in an alternative universe and being mad? Schizophrenics live in an alternative universe, in their own bubble seen by them alone.

peacenow:
To everyone pulling the strings of drums of war be very, very careful
Buhari needs to learn. Libya oppression was way less to what is happening in Nigeria now until Gadaffi found himself on the street being dragged on the floor like a rag. Killed like a bush meat.
My advice for northerners is to call Buhari to respect experience of Libya and call for dialogue instead of making inciting statements that will cause outbreak of war.
No one has monopoly of Stupidity. When the whole country go stupid like the Northern leaders are right now. Everyone will see. #Endsars will be tip of an iceberg. I am not a prophet but a seer.

If AK-47 can penetrate our borders from the north and we have bodies of international water in the south. The North should not underestimate the South East or South West on war. I don't want war in Nigeria as a Nigerian.

Set up an independent pannels and Call for dialouges and let every affected person come with evidence and address issues.
Pay farmers for their losses and herdsmen for their losses and come up with a lasting solution to move the country forward. Please and please stop all these nonsense.

Visit Liberia, Visit Libya, Visit Syria and see what war has caused. Many African Nations are hostile, they will not take you in. Be warned. We should not start what we can't finish.

You are wasting your time giving advice to northern political leaders and their southern collaborators. The Northerners - especially the Fulanis arrogantly feel that they control everyone's destiny in Nigeria, and southern politicians are complacent because they feel their political future is tied to the Northerners.

I just pray these politicians come to their senses sooner rather than later, to avoid disaster of epic proportions.

gypsey:
I disagree, they would have problem is they had voted against Trump, voting against Trump would have being the end of the republicans. The democrats would have impeached more republicans. Voting against Trump means that they the repulicans have admitted guilt. What you seem to forget is that they are career politicians (both parties) they care only about their pockets. Imagine the democrats screaming about how the pandemic killed 400000 Americans, how the pandemic is priority, the pandemic is so much of a priority they concentrated more on impeaching Trump rather?


The republicans needs Trump, they have not won an election for 12 years atleast. Until Trump emerged.

At the end of the day they are all politicians Trump may have got few things wrong but Biden isn't a saint either the media caused all the divisions.

You mean attempting to instigate your supporters to violently stop the Congress from carrying out a core constitutional mandate of certifying an election because you lost is "a few things wrong"? An election that has passed through the judicial and legislative process?
I don't know any other country where that is not a treasonable crime.

SilverNorGold:
I love the way Northerners are handling this issue... I love the unpredictability too! While the SW barbarians were anticipating a retaliatory attack, #StopKillingNortherners trended for the whole world to see how hypocritical and complicit the Nigeria media platforms are!...

It also exposed how much hatred the SW has for the SE...

But Northerners are smarter... We are 100 steps ahead of you... If you think Northerners will go berserk by looting and killing the Igbos, my brother, you're mistaken!

And you see that Buhari bah? He no go resign! If you like, BURN DOWN SW, Buhari still dey! Kampke!

As for those stubborn Northerners still squatting in the South West, better have a rethink and come back home. Cos those barbarians are ready to persecute you just to get back at Buhari. They've tried EndSars, it failed. Called for Buhari's resignation, it failed. Created Amotekun, it failed. Evicted Fulanis, it failed. Sponsored Sunday Igboho, it failed. All attempts have failed WOEFULLY! Now the target is you, oh poor traders! Please it's not worth it. We're ready to support you. Let's not give those scavengers a chance to embarrass our beloved father and our compatriots. Come back home so they can burn down their region without harming any one of you. Please!

May God help us all.

Wetin concern Igbos with this matter? I no blame you, I blame Igbos and yorubas that always fall for the cheap divide and rule tactics you guys have been using for decades to divide and rule southern Nigeria.

Which tribe has been been able to live peacefully with the Fulanis? Is it the Tivs, the Beroms, the Igbos, the Yorubas, or even southern Kaduna? Was it the Igbos that made Gideon Orkar to attempt to remove you guys from Nigeria in 1990?

You guys have been having troubles with other communities in Nigeria since the 70s and you are here talking about getting back at Buhari.

priceaction:
Mmmm, now it involves his kinsmen baba quickly voice out. We are no more living in 1967. Someone that can't leave in peace with others should expect unease when retaliation starts. No one has the monopoly of violence. Live and lets live not born to rule mentality.
You refused to train your vagabond up there, became nuisance and push them to the south, instead to maintain and do their hustles, they became parasites and attackers at a slightest provocation.
All these ragtags, illiterates born throways causing nuisance everywhere. Why can't they stay up there and make their living there? Is it not what their leaders and religion support and caused? They should stay with their people and cause nuisance if they can't live in peace.
Waiting for when DSS will arrest maiyati Allah spoke person that said yesrdy that anywhere fulani herders are killed, they won't allow it to go scot free. They will soon revisit the place and they should wait for the consequences.

You expected everyone to keep quiet?Thousands of Sunday and nnamdi kanu are in the making, it will take grace of God for Nigeria to survive next 8 years. In as much as I will never support violence, but situations that some people get backing from Fg and others are like slaves, it won't be ease to curtail.

Unfortunately many of them will run come here, America or Asia while leaving their oppressed to suffer the consequences of their carefree attitudes.

Buhari seems to always find his voice if his Fulani brothers are killed, but lost it completely if the killings is carried out by his kinsmen.

It was on 13 October 2000, when words went round that General Muhammadu Buhari was leading the Arewa team to the governor’s office to confront the state over alleged killings of Fulani cattle rearers in Saki, Oke Ogun Area of the state. Buhari did actually telephone the governor that he was leading a team to his office.
The meeting was called to order after Lam walked into the Executive Chambers. Introductions over, Buhari spoke on their mission to the governor’s office. Emitting fire, the general accused Lam and the government of Oyo State of complicity in the killing of over 68 Fulani people in Oke Ogun area and perversion of justice.

His words: “Your Excellency, our visit here is to discuss with you and your government our displeasure about the incident of clashes between two peoples… the Fulani cattle rearers and merchants are today being harassed , attacked and killed like in Saki. In the month of May, 2000, 68 bodies of Fulani cattle rearers were recovered and buried under the supervision and protection from a team of Mobile Police from Oyo State Command.

“ That some arrests were made by Oyo State Police Command in the massacre with their immediate release without court trial. This was said to have been ordered by Oyo State authorities and they were so released to their amazement. The release of the arrested suspects gave the clear impression that the authorities are backing and protecting them to continue the unjust and illegal killings of Fulani cattle rearers…”

According to the general, they therefore wanted immediate stoppage of the killings, justice and compensation to the Fulanis.

truthfulparrot:
The Democrats got this wrong. They should have ignored Trump instead of attempting to impeach him. Now the impeachment move is looking like a witch-hunt. Trump is the greatest winner here.

No they did not get it wrong. The Democrats knew exactly what they are doing. They knew from the beginning that the republicans would never voted to implicate and remove Trump, they did it first for posterity and to continue to erode the republican base. Just like the first impeachment trial, it will be on the records forever and some republicans would have a change of mind in their support of Trump and the republicans in general. That 7 senators voted against trump and many more blame Trump for the violence despite voting against conviction means some republicans are jumping ship. There is no way the republicans will win the popular votes if they present Trump in the next elections. The Democrats are waiting for the republicans to make the mistake of presenting Trump in the next elections.

Bluntguy:
Those democrats be like Buhari and APC. They have gotten what they have always wanted but will perform worse than the people they demonized.

I had thought You guys would have compared Trump to Buhari, as both refused to concede to an election they lost, and both encouraged their supporters to react violently leading to unnecessary deaths. So I don't understand how you can vilify buhari but praise Trump for inciting violence after an election loss.

This new attitude of trump in refusing to concede elections has started reverberating around the world. In Myanmar, the army refused to accept an election it lost and forcefully took over government. What happens if APC losses the next elections and refuses to concede and handover, despite losing at the courts. I would love to hear what you guys will say then.

Obrigardo:
trump is just toast, he has no future in that rotten GOP anymore. Even if 17 senators don't vote with Dems to convict, a majority maybe like 10 or 11 is enough to tell the gop world that trump is rubbish for their future.

Now the Senate will be forced to call witnesses with the latest news of trump's call with kevin McCarthy. Today will be very interesting.

No matter the number of witness that is called, even if Trump led the insurgents into the capitol itself and shot someone in broad daylight light, he would still not lose republican votes. I am even shocked 6 republicans broke rank with the rest of the republican party.

Trump is master of emotional manipulation, and emotional bonds are extremely difficult to break. Trump plays on the emotions - fears, hatred, bigotry and insecurities of certain segment of the society, most especially the barely educated, blue collar, white male who is finding it difficult to survive in a highly fast pace competitive world.

Very true, the kind of Christianity we practice in Nigeria is very strange. Next sunday one will go to church to ask for God's favour or forgiveness. If you want to get back at the person then don't collect the money. Nigerian environment is very rough. I hope the Op forgives him and move on. The Op can always succeed in life as long as there is life.

The so called scammer is not even a scammer, he is more of a ponzi scheme initiator. He just decided to start a ponzi scheme and was only able to attract very few customers. All ponzi schemes start with one person (the top of the triangle), and other triangles build from there. See illustration below.

There are lots of ponzi schemes in Nigeria. Some purport to sell some health supplements at exorbitant prices like GNLD, others purport to sell some sort of service. MMM went with the "help" format which was highly successful.

I remember the first ponzi scheme in the late 80s, it was the called bond. You buy a peace of paper called bond with N16, and your name is put on the bottom of the paper, which was number 5. If you sell one of the bond your name goes to number 4 until you get to the top. Each bond you sell entitled you to receive N4 and then N4 to the next down line. Anyway, everyone got involved except me. I explained that when the scheme becomes saturated and no more mugus coming into the system, people at the bottom of the pyramid would lose money. Only those at the top which most likely are the initiators would make real money. When it went burst people lost money. Most of my friends lost their school fees.

9japride:
@ OP it's unfortunate he scammed you. But if you wanted to make revenge it could have been better you didn't take the money. But since he has paid you and I believe you accepted the terms of taking down post of nairaland, then it will be morally wrong for you to go ahead and not taking down the post. After all, we all cry to God for forgiveness. Its not everyone that is advising you to take down the post that is a scammer. Since you already took the money and not doing his request, then you guys are already in equal terms. Its better not to collect the money and make him pay for he's actions than collecting the money. Just a friendly advice.

That's why I say Nigeria's brand of Christianity is a strange brand. It's all about tithes, offerings and prosperity. It avoids the core principles of the teachings of Christ which is love of God and neighbour and forgiveness of transgressions. I am sure they don't know the part of the lord's prayer which states " and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us".
I am so surprised Nigerians so called Christian wants revenge for someone who sinned and then asked for forgiveness and made an agreed restitution. If he was not ready to forgive, he should have told him off and refused the 10k restitution/ refund.

musicproducer:
so a self defense is murder right ok.
let is rest am bored talking to u

Murdering a murderer years later in revenge does not exonerate you from being a murderer.

musicproducer:
wait him collecting his 10k back is that scamming, omo u funny

Then you don't know the true definition of scam. A scam is simply making an offer you can't or don't intend to meet. That's collecting money under false pretenses.

musicproducer:
sorry to say but u dey reply like scammer

So to you it is OK to scam a scammer?

Kriss216:
You lie, you fornicate, you cheat, you support evil, all these are crimes before God.

Even though I don't fornicate as I am happily married. Show me anywhere where fornication is a crime.

Chinedu1994:
What of those who couldn't handle the depression and committed suicide?

Then those one have other mental issues outside the scamming. People do legitimate investments and lose everything. In fact one should never invest if you cannot handle loss or failure. Others have committed suicide for heart breaks and other emotional disappointments.

Chinedu1994:
What of those he couldn't contact?
Why did he venture into scamming in the first place?

Those one should be encouraged to also write their own experience on nairaland. Maybe he would negotiate with them to take their posts down also.
I don't like generalisation or speculated accusations without proof.

Kriss216:
The ways of God are different.

You can hide your crimes and sins from the police, friends, community and everyone, but you can't hide them from God. He sees everything.

Sorry to say, but you are delusional. Which crime do/did I commit that I hide?

Kriss216:
Lol

You're funny.

You may not be a criminal in the eyes of Police, but not in the eyes of God.

That why I said that I can never subscribe to such God. If I am not seen as a criminal by the police, my friends, my community and everyone around me, but by only a people with a certain doctrine, most of whom I have never met. Then I am OK.

Kriss216:
You've never commit any crime?

Never! I have never been arrested by police, I have never had a complaint filed against me. And I have been around for a while.
