I have been living in an apartment for 2 years with a Co-tenant. We had split the rent 50:50 and always paid at when due until my mate relocated abroad just when the rent expired. I knew I needed to raise the full rent to retain the apartment, but honestly whether I would retain it was not clear yet to me because I only had one engagement waiting to soon end and I might have to relocate. To add to that, the landlord raised the rent by 80%, so it made me think I may not stay after all. I had to discuss with lawyer and we agreed that I can pay up the rent for the period I hoped to stay. Actually, I thought i made it clear to him why I might not stay the whole year because I was not certain yet-that's how we agreed.
Fast forward to few months later, I had given him half of the period we agreed to stay, then I began to see reasons to retain the house. So by our agreed month I reached out to him and told him I had considered to remain so I would complete the rent for the whole year. I heard him say that the only way he would agree was for me to pay him his commission for the rent otherwise he will not agree. I was confused. I asked him why he said as far as I'm concerned that the tenancy agreement was written in my mates name and not mine, so I will have to commission him to issue me a fresh agreement. I asked him if he knew that I was a Co tenant and not squatting, he said yes. So if I contributed equally to the rent, that as a lawyer am I not recognised by law as entitled to that cycle of agreement until we both vacate?
Finally, I agreed to pay him the commission and all necessary dues that are paid in the compound before he would sign my the papers. Then, the D-Day, the period we had agreed just elapsed.I felt everything was settled. The lawyer came back and said he will no accept the year's rent. That after I had paid the outstanding for the period I stayed, that I should pay a full year's rent with the commission he asked for and all the rest. That, that was his agreement with me. I was surprised and I apologised to him that he may have misunderstood me. He insisted that if not so I should leave the house. (House I have been living in for 2 years and I am only renewing my rent as normal). I told him I have not been living in a chalet so I don't see how I should pay using different methods. That it is rent and a yearly commitment which ordinarily is contained in the agreement, although he refused to acknowledge that. He said no, that if I don't accept I should leave, after all he had issued a 3 months quit notice which has by now expired. He gave a 3 months notice asking all tenants to renew their rent or vacate the building because the landlord wanted to renovate the whole house. Eventually no renovation happened, and he says he will stand by that quit notice which has expired and throw me out immediately if I don't comply in the shortest period of time. (Days precisely).

I want to know if actually I was wrong and he is right to throw me out after I have given him a years rent for renewal and his commission for him to retain my name in the agreement papers

20 universities wey no get name. Scam government!

It will straighten, trust me. No need for surgery

Samantha125:
The condition is called rickets and surgery is the only solution at this time.

It's always recommended for the surgery to be performed while the person is still young because the older they get, the more difficult it can be for the doctors to operate the person.

I must be honest that due to the harsh situation of the country, it has become difficult to find my type of woman. My experience has taught me that a typical Nigerian lady is not ready to stay with a guy
who is still struggling, not to mention the really pretty ladies that I like to ire.

However, I have plans to relocate to the U.S. I'm beginning to give up on marrying a lady brought up in Nigeria unless I decide to settle for less.

I believe that overseas, women are not as materialistic as they are here. So, I ask what's the true picture of my choices?

ABEG WETIN BE THEIR INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTION TO THE GLOBAL OR AFRICAN SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH?

i mean wetin be their individual scientific inventions, hypothesis, theorem, thesis, conjecture, suppositions or whatever scientific contributions any of them, has made to the science field - no matter the field of science.

abi una just go select them give them title.




yea so big that none of it can be mentioned under their profile. yea! yea!

LMAO!
When you look at their profiles you'll find something like citations that runs in multiples of tens of thousands, it is measure of impact to the knowledge of science. Trust me, it is a lot of work to conduct and publish new findings. You most likely are indirectly benefiting from such findings without knowing and you are here talking down on their achievements.

Lool. If sey you dey read you for know. Them contribute so much to the body of Science na why dem dey top 5.

SmartPolician:
I think the world needs to re-evaluate how individual wealth is measured.

A man has a business idea, pitches it to venture capitalists and raises $200k in equity capital of 20%.

He sells 70% of his business in shares and raises another $700k.

The business is worth $1 million with founder owning 10% of the business or $100k.

He's called the world's richest man whereas he has only $100k out of the $1 million business value.

Are you sure you read the post? Or didn't you understand it?
It's his own worth of his business based on the growths of his businesses by shares which are expected to close a trillion and based on the trajectory in a certain period.

The Image of the Presidentis not an obligationfor anyone else to uphold. It'shis own responsibilityto create the image he wishes someoneelseto adore and respect.

Really
You'd need to stop tarnishing the image of the president.
You may no like who is there but please respect the seat.

It is sad to learn how post graduate students are made to suffer due to a directive by ASUU to lecturers not to tend to them until further notice despite ASUU not being on strike and students not owing any fees.
Information gathered suggests case of misappropriation of renumerations accruing to academic staff which are exclusive to post graduates cases. There is the question of what has happened to the monies paid by students and other funds meant to cater for the post graduates program in of lectures and their entitlements for supervising post graduates students , which also includes other pre requisite functions performed by of ASUU.

It is very unfortunate that rather than taking advantage of this period that ASUU is officially not on strike to pursue further advancement in education, the post graduate students who already have fears that any strike would truncate the progress of their programs are unjustly caught up in this bad situation.

We hope that attention would be drawn to resolving these issues as quickly as possible for the sake of saving the future of education in Nigeria.

You missed what I feel is the most epic decimation of Godfatherism in Nigeria between Chimaroke Nnamni of Enugu State and Sullivan Chime.

The later sent his boss into political oblivion during his tenure as governor, until one fool named Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi decided to bring him back for only God knows what.

Kindly recommend any textile manufacturing factory that is currently working in Nigeria or nearby West Africa for a feasibility studies consultations.

I applied for my transcript and the grades I saw were regrettable even after graduating with 2.2.

I have the desire to study abroad on scholarship but it's normal that such opportunities are open from high flyers.

Are there any opportunity of scholarship for people who like to study but are not as smart as some others who prove more brilliant?

Otherwise, which options do you advise me to take to have a chance?

Hungerbadoo:
oga go pay your loan. Even bank the do am

Did u at least read what I wrote?

I'm trying my best to reach them so I can pay back the loan. Since it's just an online app... I don't know where else to go for it.

I recently took a loan from palmnaira. And just about the due date I realised that I cannot gain access to my on their app which translates to inability to repay the loan.

I have a feeling that I'm being set up for a pile up of interests after which I will be blackmailed to clear.

I have tried severally to reach the loan company by mail and their customer service help me but I am unable to.

This is a situation which I really don't know how to come out of and avoid the looming embarrassment.

Only artist I wish to hangout with someday is 2baba.

He's class.

I am using ford focus and I can tell you for free it has good fuel economy although parts are a bit expensive.

great. What common problem does it have?

Please advise me, which good car can I buy with 1 Million Naira for my daily hustle. However, I am considering between 2004 Peugeot 307 and 2004 Ford focus.

Any insights to what I should expect from using either of them?

I'm open to better suggestions of cars, .
Thank you.

Kindly educate me on the pension packages that are available and the most credible choice of organisation you might recommend.

This is a BIG lie! This video is an old video and has nothing to do with South East.

I You don't mind, drop your whatsapp number let me call you

I think it’s their new security protocol.
How safe is it to put out my WhatsApp line on a public platform? I wish you’d make your suggestions here. I’d really be grateful.

Hello,
I’m about to lose a second chance to interview with a multinational company because of a challenge in setting up Microsoft soft teams . In the process, I’m required to fill in a code I should receive by text from Microsoft but I never get texted the code.
I already have lost one opportunity to use the app for an interview for the same reason and I have a second chance for another interview and I’m going through the same issue again.

Does anyone else experience the same problem and any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

Acidosis:


How?

we can choose to be silent on any other issues but not issues of human rights.

But I'm not surprise because Africa does not understand the language of human rights.

Today we are silent, tomorrow we may beckon on others to speak for us and perhaps they will be silent

Most African countries were absent

Abstention means they abstained from voting. They chose not to vote, in other words.

Nigeria inclusive. Very unfortunate.

You mean youths like Tinubu? Tinubu our youth leader!!
