I dont understand why i have to burn airtime and saliva to get the price of a pet people want to sell. put the price out there, if it is around buyers budget, they will call to enquire and if not they keep it moving. If price is fixed also include in your post and if negotiable indicate..... simple as ABC
Even simpler than ABC sef.....till a reputable and sincere breeder starts such transparent modus operandi here on NL, the numerous peddlers cum scammers won't up their ante.

Very thoughtful of you... But the same people patronising NL are the ones patronizing FB as well! So what makes price tags the odd thing on NL? Let's face it, keeping the prices private makes newbies all the more vulnerable! Thank you
Good point.. ...Thought I was the only one outside the box

miremoses:
Op,I like your write up.but let's be real here, the fact you are comparing car deals and dog breeding business doesnt make sense to me,dont get me wrong,there are lots of difference in selling dogs and selling cars. Although I'm of the motion that breeders(reputable ones)should tag price on their post when selling a particular dog,but this is NL,if you where here long enough you will know that there was a time breeders do post price,but some crazy people who call their selves buyers,will start discriminating,telling the breeder that the price isn't suitable for such dogs or calling the breeder a thief for posting such amount. In FB,breeders tag price along the dog they are selling. I think a breeder not pasting a price tag here on NL pet section,is the best thing, so that the serious buyers who really need a dog would call and then bargain price on phone.
Bro, I might have been here longer than you think.. ..this is a new moniker tho.
To be honest with you, it's best if price tags are added.

Lemme shock you.. ..I can provide links to threads where assumed buyers were asking for just location of the seller (not even price now) and the seller is yet to respond as I type this... .Such may pass for scams.

BTW, such shady dealings was what killed OLX in Nigeria.

If I understand your response, you submitted that buyers were the ones that forced sellers to stop adding price tag due to their comments.. ..Such Issues are expected. It happens everywhere. I still don't understand how dog trading will defer from Car sales, Phone or Laptop sales or any other sales at that. Dogs come in different breeds just as cars and laptops come in different makes. Dogs have different characteristics and pecks, just as cars and laptops have different specifications. If a dog is worth it's price, everyone will know and agree so.. ..just as it is for cars.

Buying and selling shld be based on "what I have to offer at a price versus How much someone is willing to get it"
If this works out, true breeders will be known and dog collectors/peddlers will also be known.

[size=16pt] Bottom line.. .....If any breeder feels his local dog is worth 1 million naira, let him state his price alongside the dog quality, pedigree claims, pictures, AND other useful information, right there on his thread for everyone to see and decide on. [/size]
PoliticsRe: North Has Oil, Diamond, Gold But I Want Us To Remain With Biafrans-maitama Sule by Wristler: 8:24pm On Nov 19, 2016
petsam11:
Elder statesman, Alhaji Yusuf Maitama Sule in this interview speaks on the state of the nation. He remarked that the true story of the Civil War in the country was yet to be told. He spoke on the recent efforts by some people in the South-east to resurrect the Biafra Republic, saying they would not succeed.

[size=16pt][b]In 1959, after the Independence elections, no one party had the overall majority to enable it form the government alone. But NPC had more seats than either of the two parties, Action Group or NCNC. People started talking or urging the two southern parties, Action Group and NCNC, to form an alliance. If they did, they would be able to form a government. But some well-meaning people waded into the crisis. They said look, if you do that, you will elbow out the North. The NPC represents the North; it is more than half of the country in size and population. If you did that, you will elbow out the North and the North might think of breaking away from the country. They told Zik, “Look you were in the forefront for the struggle of the independence of the country and you wanted an independent , united Nigeria. If you did this , you will be breaking up Nigeria. That was not your wish.” And Zik did the right thing, he agreed to enter into alliance with the NPC.
 
He agreed to surrender the prime ministership with the executive power to the NPC. [/b][/size]

@wapadunk.. ...its not a posters showroom thing or anything like what you wrote up there. No need calling me to start shiii. It's open to anybody so inspired. Lotta hommies here into that already. We have some like Prodegee, a typical diary is that of Sphinx on his Mo.

We have certified vet docs here who can do ( contribute positively) what matured guys do in Car talk section..

My point remains.. .. This section can do more than puppy peddling and If you have a dog to sell, put your price range and make the sale open... just like in other sections.
PetsNeed For Change In Pet Section especially Dog breeders by Wristler(op): 10:44am On Nov 19, 2016
I'm a big fan of dogs and I'm in serious need of a nice gaurd/Working dog. But the modus operandi of this section of Nairaland is quite untidy to say the least.

It seems this section is majorly for puppy peddling. Like seriously, Lotta people claim to be dog lovers but all that transpires here is dog trading, save for a few that keep diaries and open informative threads. A nigga (breeder) was feeling like a Don, in a bad deal thread and then I realized he had not been seen to be beneficial to this section or to anyone in particular, as one will say of Gazzuzz in Car talk, (and a lot of others in several other sections) to mention a few

Now, to my point, Why don't puppy peddlers who parade themselves as breeders put/include their price tags whenever they open sale threads. It's un-understandable. It allows for shady dealings and scams. It doesn't help newbies in purchasing, as they might not make sensible market survey from this section. It doesn't allow for standardization and quality assurance. A typical example is the Caucasian sherperd issh that occurred of recent. Fixing a price tag would have carried everyone along when the breeder made his advert post. Also, It will make people know about how expensive certain breeders are, compared to others. It will even save buyers the stress and cost of calling different dog peddlers just to get a price range. It makes transaction easier, more open and honest.

This is not what obtains in Auto section. If a car dealer posts a thread abt a brand new (pedigree) Camry 2016 and puts the price at 1 million or a Brand new 1998 Camry and puts the price at 5 million, It's easier for people to judge or sense a scam.
A scan through Auto section will give one an idea of the price of a car, and same things obtain in Phone and Laptop sections.

I hope this works out.. ..Its better if it does.

FamilyRe: A Frustrated Woman by Wristler:
Maaamaaa:
Please don't misjudged me.

I told him that I had feelings for him and he said he has too but he has a girlfriend.
I decided not to be so close to him then because he was my only friend in a new town with no family.
I made other friends at work, I went out for occasions with my other colleagues because I believed my love for him will die if we were not so close.

He became jealous and will badmouth other male colleagues that had interest in me.
Some days he will tell me I know I'm making a big mistake if I don't marry you, you're everything I want in a wife.

He will come to my house and be all loving and caring but sometimes he will still call the girl.

I got tired of his games and told him to choose between us because I'm not in the mood for games, I never forced or cajoled him to date me.

Even when I found out he had not fully broken up with him, I told him I'm moving out (we were living together) and moving on, he apologized and I let it go (although he told me he did that because he had no rent then).
Dear Maamaa, I am posting this in the middle of the night, after reading and analysing every darn comment on this Thread from the first page to the present (10th)
That said.. ..I sincerely feel for you and I wish I could talk with you. I understand perfectly what you're going through and why you took the bold step of opening this thread. I know you have heard several angles and shades of advice, so I won't bore you with long stories.
1. Online advice shld never be prioritized (not even mine) .Lotta people here asking you to leave the man are either unmarried, unready to settle down or in a broken home.

2. A few like #accountbalance actually advised you to persevere and that's what I'll advise my sister if she were to be in your shoes. ( I pray she doesn't tho)

3. I'm married, so I can talk about marriage.. The guy will sooner or later come around to you. A guy ( can't remember his moniker now, in the early parts if this thread) gave his personal experience, which was kinda similar to yours and how he was mean to his wife. He said he'll choose to marry his wife over and over again. I realised that most of the pple asking you to quit are females and the few asking you to persevere are males. It makes me wonder, how we males are able to understand the guy and can be sure he'll come back around. Maybe we'll all appreciate a lady like you if we're to be in the guy's shoes.

4. Love does grow. It might not be it now but definitely Love does grow.... All you need, is to give it the chance to.
Do your best and part..... Life is not fair. I'm sure he will never forget that you loved him 100 and you never gave up. ( I pray you don't). Some pple work you up cuz you made the first move... .its not a bad idea, what if you never did and he did...this might still have happened.

5. Nothing good comes easy, Life is not a bed of roses. Nobody has it rosy, No marriage is perfect. Give yours a chance to work. À lot of ladies want fairy tale marriages and it just don't happen. Even If you leave him, how sure are you that you will get 100 with another considering that you're a mother already (After one lipsrsealed ). ( thé grass is never greener other than plenty manure ( bullsh!!t) and watering (handwork and dedication). I love my wife and I'll always will.....I ve doné and said worse sheet to her. She always make me realise she'll stay with me no matter what.. Such loyalty is essential. This guy might just be finding it hard to man up. ( It's harder in this Buhari era tho undecided )

6. As a guy, I'll advise you to talk with him... Let him be able to drop his ego and discuss his fears and problems ( you can only do this in total submission and sincerity of heart). Communication is key... It's your only lifesaver.

7. Lastly, quit making this issue open to discuss with anyone else other than your immediate family because after the rain, comes sunshine (good) and yes mud (bad)

8. I wish you the best.

Hello car gurus.
I probably would have opened another thread but I feel its best to post this here since the topic encompasses my concerns.
Car is a Primera P11. A whistling noise ( with high pitch, I like the type that comes from a hot kettle) with sudden onset is always heard coming from the the front wheel /tyre (Passenger's side) especially when driving on rough surfaces.
I've visited 2 different mechanics and both had removed the tyres and checked and oiled the arms. The shock absorber was always their suspect but it they said it has not leaked nor is it looking weak ( and so it's still alright). I would have risked changing the shock but I'm afraid the noise might still continue and money these days is scarce.
Pls I need reviews and advice on possible solutions
